Joe Rogan Reveals Why His Name Is Mentioned In The Epstein Files

Go to Article

Podcaster Joe Rogan has been vindicated.

In his latest podcast episode, Joe Rogan explained how his name was mentioned in the latest Epstein File drop.

Rogan, while interviewing RFK Jr.’s wife, Cheryl Hines, shared that his name was mentioned in the files because Jeffrey Epstein asked a mutual friend of Rogan to get him in contact with the podcaster.

The host of the JRE Experience explained that once the mutual friend contacted him about meeting Epstein, he immediately shot down the invite after looking up who Epstein was.

The New York Post reported more on Rogan’s statement regarding being invited to meet Jeffrey Epstein:

Joe Rogan blasted a former podcast guest who tried to connect him with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — nearly a decade after the disgraced financier’s conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

The mega-popular podcaster ripped Canadian theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss on Tuesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” after it was revealed he talked to Epstein about Rogan in a 2017 email included in the Justice Department’s massive file dump on the late sex offender.

In the exchange, Epstein told Krauss he’d seen his guest spot on Rogan’s podcast and found the host “funny,” asking the cosmologist to introduce him — an offer the comedian said he instantly rebuffed.

“I’m in the files for not going because Jeffrey Epstein was trying to meet with me,” Rogan told actress Cheryl Hines, who is married to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress asked Rogan if he was “glad” he never met with Epstein.

“Yeah, but I never would’ve went anyway,” said the UFC commentator, who never mentioned Krauss by name during the episode.

“It’s like, it’s not even a possibility that I would’ve ever went, especially after I Googled him.”

The billionaire predator was arrested in Florida and convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Newsweek reported Rogan later in the episode accused the FBI of gaslighting the public:

Joe Rogan accused the FBI of “gaslighting” during a segment of his podcast, reacting to an Associated Press (AP) report that said agents found scant evidence Jeffrey Epstein led a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, even as investigators documented extensive abuse of underage girls.

Rogan’s criticism carries unusual weight because he is one of the most influential media figures in the U.S., with millions of listeners and a broad audience that overlaps significantly with President Donald Trump’s supporters.

His decision to publicly accuse federal investigators of “gaslighting” over the Epstein case also keeps an issue in the spotlight that the Trump administration has sought to move past. Coming from a figure often viewed as sympathetic—or at least adjacent—to Trump’s political coalition, Rogan’s remarks risk sustaining distrust of federal agencies within a key segment of the president’s base and complicating efforts by the administration to close the chapter on Epstein-related disclosures.

On Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan and guest Cheryl Hines discussed the AP story as Rogan read aloud that the FBI concluded Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, then recounted how Palm Beach police began investigating in 2005 after a schoolyard fight led to a report about Epstein paying teenage girls for sexualized massages.

The AP report said agents examined bank records, emails, and material seized from Epstein’s homes, interviewed victims, and probed links to prominent figures, finding ample proof of Epstein’s abuse of minors but “scant evidence” that he ran a ring serving others.

“That’s the gaslightiest gaslighting s*** I’ve ever heard in my life,” Rogan said. “What do they think is going on? Just a bunch of fun? Bunch of guys hanging out, being fellas, having cocktails, talking about science?”
