Joe Rogan presses JD Vance on whether people involved in Epstein's crimes had "undue influence" over the release of the files.
Rogan just lays out why millions of people stopped trusting the process, and makes the Vice President respond to it directly:
VANCE: "The idea that Donald Trump is being blackmailed is crazy to me because, again, I see the way that he makes decisions. I see the way that he processes this stuff. The idea that he picks up the phone with anybody and says, 'Hey, I'm gonna take orders from you.' No, that's just not how Donald Trump operates."
ROGAN: "Can you understand, though, why people would come to that conclusion, especially because of the Epstein files?"
VANCE: "What do you mean?"
ROGAN: "Well, the Epstein files were supposed to be released, and there was a tremendous amount of resistance to those files being released. And that concerned a lot of people, because if you're talking about very wealthy, powerful people that were engaged in crimes."
VANCE: "I see. You're basically saying the fear is that whatever's in the Epstein files was used to blackmail the administration into doing the Iran thing."
ROGAN: "Or at the very least, the people that were involved in the Epstein files that didn't want them coming out had undue influence."
VANCE: "Well, again, I say this with all candor. We absolutely screwed up the comms of the Epstein files. We just did. But do I think the reason we screwed up the comms is because we were trying to hide something? No. Pam Bondi said, 'The client list is on my desk.' Right?"
ROGAN: "Well, see, they had binders. They were standing in front—"
VANCE: "But those binders were largely documents that had already been released."
ROGAN: "What was the purpose of that performative display of the Epstein files? And she was saying there's tens of thousands of hours of film."
VANCE: "I don't know what the purpose of it was, but I know that the effect of it was to make people mistrust the entire effort."
"I know Pam. I like Pam. I don't think there was anything malicious going on. I think Pam was trying to respond to the political moment. I think she overstated what we had and what we didn't have. And I think that she got roasted for it publicly by a lot of people, including me."
"You and I have talked about this a lot. I'm one of the OG Epstein conspiracy theorists. I've probably gone down every single rabbit hole we could go down."

“Hey Joe do me a favor and frame your epstein questions in a way that I can easily dissuade the public about. Thanks Joe, let’s have a great show!”
