Joe Rogan Says He’s In Epstein Files Thanks To Former Guest — And Leaves 1 Big Clue
Joe Rogan curbed Cheryl Hines’ comprehension for a second when talking about his presence in the Epstein files.On Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, Rogan admitted to the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alum — and wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — that he is indeed mentioned in the files. “I’m in the files for not going,” Rogan said.“Huh?” Hines shot back, before Rogan immediately clarified.Screenshot the “JRE Clips” via YouTubeScreenshot the “JRE Clips” via YouTube“Yeah, I’m in the files …because Jeffrey Epstein was trying to meet with me,” Rogan said. “And I was like WHAT.”“Aren’t you glad [you didn’t go]?” Hines asked him. “Yeah, but I would’ve never went anyway,” Rogan said. “It’s like, it’s not even a possibility that I would’ve ever went, especially after I Googled him.” Rogan then explained that, in 2017, a former guest on his show had offered to introduce him to the late, disgraced financier.“I was like, ‘Bitch, are you high?’” Rogan said of the exchange. “‘What the fuck are you talking about?’”Although Rogan didn’t name the guest, an email exchange recently released by the Justice Department hints that the person Rogan was referring to may be theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss.Krauss was on Rogan’s show in March 2017. Six months later, according to the DOJ’s documents, Epstein emailed Krauss about his appearance.“I saw you did the Joe =ogan [sp] show, can you introduce me, I think hes =unny [sp],” Epstein wrote to Krauss.It seems that Epstein also tried to sweeten the deal in a follow-up email that same day that reads: “if he wnats [sic] rogan can have dinner with woody on fri.”Epstein is likely referring to director Woody Allen, who also has ties to the billionaire sex predator. “I will reach out to Rogan,” Krauss responded a day later. “I think I [have] his email, or at least his producers [sic] email. He lives and [works] in LA.”It seems Krauss made good on his promise, because a few days later, he wrote to Epstein:“He contacted me back.. asked me some questions about you.. I told him good things.. still haven’t heard back,” Krauss wrote.Other celebrities have also recently admitted that they’ve found their names in the Epstein files, including comedian Jon Stewart, who pointed it out on the “Daily Show” earlier this month.“To get ahead of the story, I am also in the files,” Stewart revealed. But Stewart’s cameo in the notorious files was a bit like Rogan’s — he was merely mentioned in an Epstein email exchange, this time with producer Barry Josephson.
