Joe Rogan admits Trump has ‘lost the podcast bros’ after endorsing him in 2024

Donald Trump lost big time in this year’s midterms when the blue tsunami swept across the country, flipping deep-red states — and among those swept away were the podcast bros, so says Joe Rogan. The nation’s top podcaster, who endorsed the president in 2024 and was credited with helping cement his victory with younger voters, recently told his audience that most people have now turned their backs on Trump. “They didn’t just lose the podcast bros,” Rogan said. “They lost most of the country.”In his assessment of the situation, Rogan pointed to both Iran — “a war that no one wants to be in” — and Trump’s immigration crackdown, with “militarized police in the streets wearing masks,” which even the president finally admitted went too far. As far as Trump losing the podcast bros, that seems to be a reference to the fact that high-profile podcast host supporters, such as Theo Von and Andrew Schulz, have been mum since the midterm shallacking.

Immediately after the election, Rogan said on his show that he didn’t like talking politics: “It’s all gross; I hate it.” Of course, Rogan didn’t seem to have the same level of disgust for the subject when Trump was a guest on his show in 2024 — or even a few weeks ago when he blasted the poll numbers, saying in part, “I was like, ‘Here’s the problem with polls: most people don’t answer polls.’ If somebody calls you up and says, ‘I’d like a few moments of your time to ask you a few questions,’ f*** you! Anybody with a life, anybody that has, like, a family and stuff to do, hobbies they enjoy, friends they want to hang out with, they don’t sit around answering some f****** poll.”Oops. Looks like Rogan was wrong to wave off poll numbers that showed Democrats with a real shot at victory.In the wake of the midterms crush, Trump has mostly pointed fingers at the candidates he endorsed and blamed the media for painting his administration in a poor light. He has walked up to the line a couple of times that the outcome actually had to do with the Iran war, resulting hardships on the economy, and his brutal immigration policy, but he quickly retreats to his favorite classics — that being, it’s someone else’s fault.
