Rogan said the invite occurred in ‘like 2017’ claiming it was ‘one of [his] guests’ who ‘was trying to get [him] to meet’ Epstein.
Rogan added: « I was like, ‘B***h are you high? Like what the f**k are you talking about?' »
Hines then questioned Rogan as to ‘what reason’ he’d ever consider meeting with Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019.Rogan responded: « If I was a guy who is like sucking up to the rich and powerful. If I was really interested in hanging out with rich and powerful people.
« Some people get intoxicated by being in a circle of rich and powerful people even if they’re… they don’t even have any ambitions of being one of those people, they just want to be around them.
