‘Out of Your F—— Mind!’: Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson, Tyrus Go Off on California Leaders

In a fiery exchange of words that quickly made waves on social media and news outlets alike, comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan, actor Mel Gibson, and former WWE star Tyrus launched into an intense critique of California’s political leadership.

What started as a candid conversation on Rogan’s popular podcast soon spiraled into a heated diatribe against the state’s current political climate, with all three public figures making their frustrations known.

The conversation, which centered around California’s escalating issues—ranging from its controversial policies on crime and homelessness to its ever-increasing taxes—exploded into a tirade of criticisms, punctuated by bold expletives and passionate outbursts.

The three men, known for their outspoken and often unfiltered opinions, didn’t hold back in what they saw as the mismanagement of a state once considered the cultural and economic epicenter of the nation.

A Deep Dive Into California’s Decline

The discussion began innocuously enough, with Rogan leading the charge by asking his guests what they thought of California’s political trajectory over the past decade.

But things quickly took a sharp turn into explosive rhetoric as all three men voiced their disgust with the leadership, particularly focusing on Governor Gavin Newsom and his policies.

“Out of your f—— mind!” Rogan exclaimed, shaking his head in disbelief as he recounted the state’s increasingly lenient laws on crime, particularly the softening of penalties for thefts under a certain dollar amount.

For Rogan, a staunch advocate for personal responsibility and law and order, this was an example of a state descending into chaos. “You can just walk into a store and take what you want, and the police won’t even arrest you!” he continued, incredulous. “What message does that send to people? You can do whatever the hell you want, and there’s no consequence!”

Mel Gibson, known for his own fiery outbursts, didn’t hold back either. “They’ve lost the plot,” he said, clearly frustrated with the direction California is heading.

“I don’t know how you can claim to care about people when you’re actively enabling the destruction of communities. Every day there’s a new law that punishes the working people and rewards the ones who refuse to contribute.” Gibson’s comments echoed a sentiment many Californians feel but often aren’t able to express for fear of being labeled politically incorrect or divisive.

Tyrus, the former WWE wrestler turned political commentator, leaned in with his own scathing critique. “They’ve completely forgotten about the people who built this state,” he said, his voice rising with intensity.

“This isn’t about ideology. It’s about basic survival. People are trying to live in the cities and get ahead, but it’s becoming impossible with all these taxes and regulations. California used to be the land of opportunity. Now it’s the land of destruction.”

Homelessness and Crime: A Growing Crisis

One of the most glaring issues that Rogan, Gibson, and Tyrus zeroed in on was California’s ongoing homelessness crisis. “It’s like every block you drive down in LA, you see people living in tents,” Rogan remarked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

“How do you allow that to happen? How is that acceptable? It’s disgusting, and it’s getting worse every year.” He criticized local leaders for failing to address the root causes of homelessness and instead opting for short-term solutions like giving people free housing without providing any real assistance or rehabilitation.

Tyrus expanded on this by pointing out the irony of California’s progressive policies, which seem to prioritize the comfort of the homeless at the expense of long-time residents.

“They spend billions of dollars on giving people free everything, but they don’t even address the real issues,” he said. “You can’t just throw money at a problem and expect it to go away. You have to tackle the reasons why people end up on the streets in the first place.”

The group also discussed the state’s rising crime rates, particularly in urban centers like Los Angeles and San Francisco, where car break-ins, theft, and violent crimes are becoming increasingly common.

“People are scared to even walk down the street,” Rogan said. “How do you expect people to live their lives if they’re constantly looking over their shoulder? The police can’t do their jobs anymore, and the criminals know it.”

Gibson, echoing Rogan’s sentiments, stated that crime has become so rampant in California that it has almost normalized. “You’ve got stores closing because they can’t afford to keep their doors open due to all the thefts,” he said. “The whole city is going to hell in a handbasket, and no one is doing anything about it. It’s infuriating.”

Taxes and Economic Woes

Rogan, Gibson, and Tyrus also turned their attention to California’s crushing tax burden, which many argue has driven businesses and residents out of the state. California’s high income and property taxes, along with burdensome regulations, have made it increasingly difficult for people to thrive in the state.

“People are fleeing California, and it’s no wonder why,” Rogan said. “The taxes are outrageous, and there’s no incentive to stay. You get taxed on everything, and what do you get in return? A homeless crisis, a crumbling infrastructure, and crime everywhere you turn. It’s insane.”

Tyrus, known for his blunt and no-nonsense approach to politics, was particularly vocal about the economic impact of the state’s tax policies. “They’re driving businesses out, and it’s only going to get worse,” he said.

“You can’t keep taxing people into the ground and expect them to stick around. At some point, they’re going to leave. And when they do, guess who’s left holding the bag? The people who can’t afford to leave—the working class.”

Gibson, always passionate in his criticisms, added that California’s government seemed more interested in appeasing its wealthy liberal elites than helping the average Californian.

“The system is broken. The people with the money are fine—they can afford to live wherever they want. But what about the people who are struggling?” he said. “California used to be the place where anyone could come and make it big. Now, it’s a place where the middle class is being squeezed out.”

The Call for Change

As the discussion raged on, all three men expressed frustration that the people of California seemed to be ignored by the very leaders who were supposed to represent them. “At the end of the day, it’s the people who suffer,” Rogan concluded. “They need to start listening to the people who are trying to make it work in this state.”

The fiery conversation between Joe Rogan, Mel Gibson, and Tyrus may not have solved California’s problems, but it undoubtedly raised important questions about the direction the state is heading.

As the three men made their voices heard, it’s clear that many people feel similarly—frustrated with the state’s leaders and wondering what happened to the California they once knew.

Whether or not their outrage will spark real change remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: California’s political climate is heating up, and its residents are ready for a change.
