Joe Rogan explains ‘loopy’ motive for Epstein recordsdata point out whereas ripping Trump for calling scandal a ‘hoax’
Joe Rogan revealed the ‘crazy’ background behind his name appearing in the Epstein files while bashing Trump for dismissing the entire saga as a ‘hoax.’
The podcaster was chatting with Cheryl Hines, the wife of Robert F Kennedy Jr, on Tuesday’s show when he explained that he refused to meet with the disgraced billionaire.
‘Jeffrey Epstein was trying to meet with me,’ Rogan, 58, admitted. ‘And I was like, “What? Like, no thanks.” It’s not even a possibility that I would’ve ever went, especially after I Googled him.’
Rogan added that the situation unfolded in 2017, saying: ‘One of my guests was trying to get me to meet him.
‘I was like, “b**** are you high? Like, what the f*** are you talking about?”‘
Rogan was referring to theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss, who appeared on his show in September 2017. Afterwards, Epstein emailed Krauss asking for an introduction.
Krauss agreed, saying he would reach out. But Krauss never heard back from Rogan.

The host told Hines that there was no way he would have met with Epstein, saying he would only do so if he were ‘a guy who is sucking up to the rich and powerful.’
‘Some people get intoxicated by being in a circle of rich and powerful people — even if they don’t have any ambitions of being one of those people,’ he told his guest.
‘They just want to be around them.’
Rogan then tore into the Trump administration’s handling of the files, unleashing sharp criticism on the president’s repeated insistence that the controversy was a ‘hoax.’
‘None of this is good for this administration. It looks f****** terrible,’ Rogan slammed.
‘It looks terrible for Trump, when he was saying that none of this was real, this is all a hoax. This is not a hoax.’
The podcaster, who is credited with attracting young male voters to the MAGA movement during the November election, has become increasingly critical of Trump’s decisions in the months since his return to the White House.
Rogan openly endorsed Trump during the 2024 presidential election, and even had him a guest on his show.

But Rogan has been outspoken, speaking his truth and fiercely criticizing the administration’s handling of the Epstein files’ release.
He has also accused the president of ‘gaslighting’ the public regarding the release of the files.
The podcaster’s bombshell remarks come after the DOJ released over three million files at the end of January, including roughly 180,0000 photos and 2,000 videos.
