Like it&#8217;s all red states around you, and it&#8217;s this pocket of blue that&#8217;s in the center of this red state,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s good for everybody. I think that&#8217;s good. It&#8217;s a balance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rogan warned against liberals fleeing blue states only to vote for the same left-wing policies. He compared the state&#8217;s delicate political balance to that of an ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You&#8217;re going to ruin it,&#8221; he warned. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to ruin it for you too. You don&#8217;t get it. Balance is important. \u2026 You can&#8217;t kill all the predators because then the deer get overrun, and you&#8217;re hitting them with cars. And you can&#8217;t kill all the deer because then there&#8217;s no food. That&#8217;s what they did when they were market hunting. Balance. And you need balance with humans, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Austin balance is a great balance,&#8221; Rogan continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s a liberal city surrounded by, like, hardcore Republicans with guns and tigers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:Joe Rogan Mocks Gavin Newsom For Dismissing Growing State Problems As La Film Production Craters;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/media\/joe-rogan-mocks-gavin-newsom-dismissing-growing-state-problems-la-film-production-craters\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Rogan Mocks Gavin Newsom For Dismissing Growing State Problems As La Film Production Craters<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Joe Rogan photo arranged next to one of Gavin Newsom\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/fox_news_text_979\/c51a97489d6b510cc91b57c49751aca9.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Podcaster Joe Rogan, an ex-Californian, has mocked California Gov.
