DL Hughley used the latest episode of his Uncensored podcast to go after Joe Rogan and the wider circle of so-called “podcast bros,” accusing them of helping deliver the country to Donald Trump and now trying to act like they had nothing to do with it.
The conversation started with Rogan’s own words, pulled from a clip in which he warned about the fragility of civilization and invoked radical Germany as a cautionary tale. Hughley wasn’t having it.
“How dare you play in our face like that? You helped all of this happen. All of this happened and we’re not even talking about a faux [ ]. We’re talking about somebody who’s deeply affiliated with white [ ], who has basically echoed [ ] Germany slogans,” Hughley said, pointing to Stephen Miller and the rest of the cabinet as further proof.
He then widened the target to what he called “the podcast bros,” naming names.
“As a matter of fact, there was a phenomenon called the podcast bros,” Hughley said, to which Jasmine Sanders added, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, the manosphere.”
Hughley continued, “All of them are quiet. It was a movement.”
He then listed who he meant directly: “All of them now, all of them, the Theo Vons, the Andrew Schulzs, the Tim Dillons, the Tucker Carlson, you know, all of them. And the only reason they are doing it because things turned out so bad.”
Hughley argued these figures don’t get to distance themselves now that things have soured.
“When the epitaph of this part in history is written, their names should be prominent,” he said, adding, “They need to own that.”
He singled out Andrew Schulz specifically for claiming he didn’t back the outcome. “Not once have they ever, like Andrew Schulz, ‘I didn’t vote for this.’ You did.”
Hughley also noted the reach these podcasters had with younger and more diverse audiences, crediting them with real electoral impact.
“They won the young vote. They won the young male vote. They won the young Latin vote. The manosphere did his job and delivered,” he noted.
Circling back to Rogan by name, Hughley pointed to his continued closeness to Trump’s world as proof there’s no real separation happening. “You had your a[ ] at the UFC event,” he said.
Sanders agreed, arguing loud public support doesn’t just wash away. “I do not believe you get the opportunity to separate yourself from that,” she said.
