Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan Criticize Newsom on Wildfires

Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan have publicly criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom for his handling of the Los Angeles wildfires, accusing him of failing to take necessary preventive measures. During an appearance on Rogan's podcast, Gibson lambasted Newsom for not fulfilling his promise to maintain the forests, which he claims contributed to the fires' severity. They criticized the allocation of state funds, alleging that billions were spent on homelessness with negligible results while neglecting fire prevention. Gibson humorously suggested tax dollars went to Newsom's hair gel, highlighting their dissatisfaction with state management. Rogan, who relocated to Texas citing California's mismanagement, described the state's leadership as confusing and incompetent. The duo's comments come amid ongoing political tensions between Newsom and other leaders, including President-elect Trump, over the state's wildfire crisis.
