California Governor Gavin Newsom Calls Out Joe Rogan For Not Having Him On His Podcast

Governor Newsom says he is 'moving on' after Joe Rogan repeatedly refused to host him despite the podcast's 16 to 24 million monthly downloads.

  • Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said he is `moving on` from podcast host Joe Rogan during a CNN interview that played an October 18 clip.
  • For weeks, the two have exchanged barbs after Newsom said Rogan has `been attacking` him and `consistently not had on` him, following Newsom's challenge on the YouTube show Higher Learning.
  • Rogan's podcast reaches about 24 million downloads monthly as Spotify's No. 1 podcast and has hosted President Donald Trump and invited Kamala Harris.
  • On Oct. 14, Newsom's press office said Joe Rogan is `too scared` to invite the governor and offered to appear to `save` the popular show.
  • Politically, Newsom said he will give the idea serious thought after the 2026 midterm elections and praised podcasting peers described as one of the brightest minds.
