Podcasters Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz joked about the left trying and failing to create their own network of podcasts to push liberal ideas.
Some have referred to the 2024 election as the “podcast election,” arguing that Rogan, Schulz and others turned the tide for President Donald Trump by having him on their shows and saying the left needs the equivalent to reach young male voters.
“I saw on CNN after the election, they were talking about us in specific, and they were talking about how there is this network of podcasts that are interconnected that has been financed, like, this huge corporate finance network,” Rogan told Schulz on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Thursday.
“It’s so stupid,” Rogan said, mocking the idea of a top-down, organized network. “No, it’s actually just a bunch of friends, f—ing idiots. We just happen to do each other’s podcasts.”
“But they’re like, trying to sort it out, like, ‘They support each other, they go on each other’s shows, and they’re all in this together. Well, we need that on the left,’” Rogan added.
“Good luck,” Rogan said, joking about the prospect of progressives working together. “You guys cancel each other if your f—ing Ukraine flag is too small!”
“You f—ing talk s— about each other for not having trans kids,” he said. “You guys are out of your mind. You’re not going to sync up together. You’re in a suicide cult.”
Rogan mocked the left in late November for lamenting their lack of an equivalent to his show, particularly because he was once on their side.
“I’m sure they’re scrambling to try to create their own version of this show,” Rogan said at the time. “This is one thing that keeps coming up, like, ‘We need our own Joe Rogan,’ right? But they had me, I was on their side!”
