Podcast host Joe Rogan and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers criticized California Democrats for their aggressive climate agenda, particularly the plan to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
They expressed skepticism about the state’s ability to support a widespread shift to electric vehicles given the strain on the power grid.
Rogan and Rodgers also highlighted what they perceived as a focus on appearance over infrastructure and control rather than genuine environmental impact.
“Like they just can’t wait to put more controls on people in any way, shape, or form. They’re trying to outlaw internal combustion engines by 2035. No new sales,” Rogan said.
“Guess what, you f—s? Every time the power is like in the summertime, they tell people not to charge their cars, because the grid is gonna go down. Like, what do you got to do? You got to do a radical upheaval of the grid in 11 years? No, you’re not.”
“I’m sure Newsom can get it done,” Rodgers joked.
“Yeah, they’re just talking. They just, it’s like, literally every goal is to just say the right things, check the right boxes so people think you’re green,” Rogan said. “You’re green and you’re all DEI’d out. And then they don’t care about the infrastructure of the country. It’s f—— crazy.”
“No, they don’t care at all,” Rodgers said. “They definitely don’t care at all. It’s control. They just want control. They want total control.”
They discussed the differences between California and Texas, with Rogan emphasizing the latter’s independence and resource provision.
“But see that’s like this, you realize how much A) it’s control, and B), it doesn’t change anything,” Rogan said. “You’re not safer when they do it like that. Like you’re better off here.”
“Well, Texas has its own grid,” Rodgers said.
“Yes, that’s true, too. And Texas provides oil to much of the country,” Rogan said. “Like Texas could be its own country.”
