Remember when California was the place where dreams came true? These days, the Golden State looks more like a reality show gone wrong, where the contestants keep voting for the same failed policies while their houses literally burn down around them.
It’s almost like watching a slow-motion train wreck, except the conductor is too busy practicing his dance moves to notice the flames. And speaking of dancing, that’s exactly what California’s leadership seems to be doing while their once-great state burns.
You might think that during a major crisis, state leaders would show some dignity and gravitas. But if you’ve been paying attention to California politics lately, you know that’s about as likely as finding an affordable house in San Francisco.
The Dancing Governor’s Latest Performance
In a January 16th episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the straight-talking podcast host who famously fled California for the freedom of Texas dropped a bombshell about Governor Gavin Newsom’s shocking behavior during the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which remain only 6% contained as of this week.
“The governor gave this creepy speech where he was talking about speculators coming in… It’s still only 6% contained. He did this little dance,” Rogan revealed, describing Newsom’s inappropriate shimmy during a Monday press conference amid the scorched ruins of people’s homes.
Actor Mel Gibson, appearing alongside Rogan, couldn’t resist adding his own perspective: “I think all our tax dollars probably went for Gavin’s hair gel,” Gibson quipped, perfectly capturing the disconnect between California’s leadership and its suffering citizens.
“This is so disgusting,” Rogan emphasized. “While people are losing everything, he’s out there doing a little dance routine for the cameras.”
24 Billion Reasons to Leave
The contrast with other state leaders couldn’t be more stark. While Texas and Florida invest heavily in disaster preparedness, Newsom’s California spent a whopping $24 billion on homelessness since 2019, while apparently spending “zip” on wildfire prevention, according to Gibson and Rogan’s discussion.
The result? Insurance companies are fleeing faster than residents during tax season. “Like 69% of fire insurance pulled out of California because they’re, like, this is too crazy,” Rogan explained, highlighting the real-world consequences of mismanagement.
Celebrities Say ‘Hasta La Vista’ to the Golden State
The exodus isn’t just limited to insurance companies. Rogan himself led the charge to Texas in 2020, and now Mel Gibson revealed he’s considering a move to Costa Rica. When Hollywood icons start planning their escape routes, you know something’s seriously wrong in the entertainment capital of the world.
A damning 2021 NPR investigation revealed that Newsom overstated his wildfire prevention efforts by an astounding 690% – claiming 90,000 acres of fire prevention work when the real number was just 11,399 acres.
