‘What Is This?!’ Joe Rogan Torches Kash Patel for Not ‘Making Any Sense’ About Epstein Case

 

Joe Rogan ripped into the Trump administration and FBI Director Kash Patel, a past podcast guest, for not making “any sense” on Jeffrey Epstein.

Former CIA officer Mike Baker joined Rogan on Friday’s The Joe Rogan Experience, where Rogan revealed Patel was not making a whole lot of sense to him when they discussed Epstein the month prior.

“The Epstein stuff is so crazy because when Kash Patel was on here and he was like, there’s no — there’s nothing, and I was like, what are you talking? Yeah, I didn’t even know what to say,” Rogan told Baker.

Rogan pressed Patel on whether there was video obtained from Epstein’s private island where he allegedly abused women for decades. The late billionaire Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while being charged with sex trafficking. He was already a convicted child predator at the time.

“Is there video from the island?” Rogan asked Patel at the time.

“Not of what you want,” Patel said, insisting that everything that can be released related to the case will be.

That interview was followed by a Department of Justice/FBI memo denying the existence of any Epstein client list and concluding that he committed suicide. The jail cell video released to the public is missing nearly three minutes of footage, only further fueling speculation. Attorney General Pam Bondi referencing an Epstein list sitting on her desk in February has also led to MAGA backlash against the president. Rogan has been among the voices calling for more documents related to Epstein to be released.

Patel maintained his belief during his Rogan chat that Epstein committed suicide and said the full video would be released while Rogan questioned the official story.

Patel also claimed during the interview that the reason the “Epstein Files” were taking so long to get out was because they were combing through footage.

“People were like, why didn’t you push back more? My thought was like, I’m just gonna put this out there and let the internet do its work because there’s nothing I could — the guy’s saying there’s no tapes, there’s no video. That doesn’t make any sense. Everyone knows it doesn’t any sense,” Rogan said on Friday.

The comedian and podcaster also slammed Patel for not knowing about a forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, disputing the claim that Epstein killed himself after being hired by the deceased’s brother.

“Then he’s like, well we have a film, we’re gonna release that film and the film has a fucking minute missing from it,” Rogan said. “Like, do you think we’re babies?! Like, what is this?!”
