Chest-puffing California Gov. Gavin Newsom boasted that he was “punching back” at “son of a bitch” Joe Rogan as he made an expletive-filled plea for an invite on the podcaster’s popular show.
Appearing on the YouTube show “Higher Learning” on Friday, the camera-ready Newsom went on the attack against Rogan — who recently bashed him as a “bulls–t artist” that’s ruined California.
“Joe, why won’t you have me on the show?” Newsom griped to hosts Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay in a clip teasing the episode.
“He won’t have me on the show. It’s a one way and he has guests coming on, attacking and bashing, but he won’t have me on the show. Full stop. He should have me on the show.”
Newsom was then asked if he’d try to keep Rogan in check, calling out issues he’s had with comments Rogan made in the past.
“I’m not afraid to go — I’m punching Joe Rogan, that son of a bitch is not used to that,” the Democrat spouted.
“He’s gonna dismiss it, he’s gonna laugh it off, tough guy and all that. But is he gonna have me on? I don’t know.”
The Golden State guv was fired up by recent attacks from Rogan, who’s pointed out that Newsom wants to be president “sooo bad.”
“You can’t ruin a city and then go on to ruin a state and then say, ‘Guys, that was just practice. Once I get in as president I’m going to fix it all,” Rogan said, later calling him a “bulls–t artist.”
In the teaser for “Higher Learning,” Newsom also remarked, “I’m the only governor who can claim this. I got a lot of s–t for this,” prompting Lathan to laugh, “I love that you didn’t ask me if you could curse.”
“Oh, sorry,” Newsom said with a smile.
“Well, you start with Joe Rogan, I’m gonna start cursing.”
In the same interview, Newsom aimed at his own party in terms of getting people to go out and vote.
“Where the hell is the Democratic party? Where’s our equivalent of Turning Point USA? Nowhere to be found,” he said.
