Podcaster Joe Rogan is fed up with President Donald Trump’s administration, bashing them over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Rogan, who officially endorsed Trump in the 2024 election after an interview with Elon Musk, slammed the president Friday on his show “The Joe Rogan Experience,” noting it’s been “madness” and “chaos.”
“The Epstein stuff is so crazy,” Rogan told guest Mike Baker, a former CIA covert operations officer. The host burst into laughter as he recounted a raunchy “South Park” episode that made waves this week with the highly controversial premiere of its 27th season. The provocative episode heavily mocked Trump, including depicting the president crawling nude into bed with Satan.
The host later expressed disbelief that FBI Director Kash Patel told him there’s “nothing” in the Epstein files.
“I didn’t even know what to say,” said Rogan. “My thought was, and people are like, ‘Why didn’t you push back more?’ My thought was like, ‘I’m just going to put this out there and let the internet do its work.”
Rogan said Patel’s explanation that there are no tapes or videos to support Epstein-related theories “doesn’t make any sense.” He also took issue with Patel’s ignorance about an autopsy that found Epstein’s neck was broken in multiple places, including fractures of the hyoid bone and the thyroid cartilage on both sides.
He then pummeled Patel over the Epstein prison video that was released to the public, but that had nearly three minutes missing from what was described as the “raw” surveillance footage by the Department of Justice.
“Do you think we’re babies? Like what is this?” Rogan railed.
Baker laid into the Trump administration, calling out Deputy Director Dan Bongino by name.
“You got people, including Dan Bongino, making bank for a couple of years talking about how awful it is, and we gotta get this s— and it’s a huge conspiracy — and then you release a two-page memo that says, ‘there’s nothing to see here.’”
