The conversation then turned to how the state is being managed by its overwhelmingly Democratic government.
"They spent
$24 billion last year on the homeless, and what did they spend on preventing these wildfires?" Rogan asked. "Zip."
"Zip," Gibson agreed. "And in 2019, Newsom said, you know, that he would take care of the forest, maintain the forest and do all that kinda stuff. He didn't do anything."
"On top of that, they cut the water off," Rogan said.
Gibson then joked, "All our tax dollars probably went for Gavin's hair gel."
"The whole state is so poorly managed,"
the podcast host argued. "It’s so frustrating and confusing. And then he gets on TV and pretends like everything is great, ‘California’s the best, we have the best state, we have the most amazing economy,’ like…. You're out of your f---ing mind, dude.'
"You’ve ruined this state, personally ruined it," Rogan said of Newsom.
"Well, it's the same team that was up in San Francisco, and they came down to L.A. and are doing what they did in San Francisco," Gibson said.
