Joe Rogan says handling of Epstein files makes Trump administration look ‘terrible’

WASHINGTON, DC: Podcaster Joe Rogan, during a recent episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience', expressed fear regarding the "demonic" nature of the allegations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.

While largely supportive of the administration, the podcaster said the redaction of non-victim names in the Epstein files could be politically damaging. Rogan argued it creates optics that make the government look 'terrible'. 

Joe Rogan says Epstein files scare him

Rogan admitted to his audience that the situation "scares" him because "the fear of, you know... these like literally demonic human beings that are running the world without caring for human lives."

He noted that while most people think ritual sacrifice is a thing of the past, according to him, evidence suggests these horrors are still happening today.

Rogan called it “evil” as he weighed in on the idea that Epstein was offering a “service” allowing powerful people to commit crimes without facing consequences. "I mean, if you do have, for lack of better words, let's call it a service where you allow rich people from foreign governments or whatever…”

Joe Rogan doubts Island desalination claims

The discussion also involved the logistical details of Epstein's island operations, specifically the massive orders of sulfuric acid.  

Rogan and his guest Evan Hafer, who is a Special Forces veteran, highlighted that on the day Epstein was indicted in 2018, an order was placed for 330 gallons of the “sulfuric acid.”

Rogan commented on the online discussion about the acid being used for a desalination plant. He remained skeptical and questioned the primary purpose of the chemical orders based on timing and volume 

He pointed out that while there were previous orders in 2015 and 2017, the proximity to legal action raises severe questions.

Joe Rogan slams Epstein file redactions

Rogan, who is largely supportive of Trump, however, aimed at the handling of the case, specifically targeting the Trump administration’s narrative.

He was of the view that the continued redaction of names, specifically those who are not victims, is a move to protect the powerful rather than the vulnerable.

"None of this is good for this administration. It looks terrible," Rogan remarked, adding that the evidence contradicts any claims that the scandal was a "hoax."

He concluded while questioning the logic of the legal process, asking, "If you've got redacted people's names and these people aren't victims, you're not protecting the victim. So, what are you doing, right?"
