Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed this week to release Pentagon footage of UFOs, as well as additional documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if elected president in November.
The former president sat down with podcaster Lex Fridman and was asked about revealing exclusive UFO footage if he is elected for a second term — while Kamala Harris continues to run from the media after her lone interview with CNN propagandist Dana Bash, Trump has been taking every sit down he can muster.
“A lot of people are very interested in the footage of UFOs. The Pentagon has released a few videos and there’s been anecdotal reports from fighter pilots. So a lot of people wanna know, will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available,” Fridman asked.
“Oh yeah, sure, I’ll do that. I would do that. I’d love to do that. I have to do that,” Trump replied.

“They also are pushing me on Kennedy,” he added. “And I did release a lot, but I had people come to me and beg me not to do it. But I’ll be doing that very early on. But I would do that.”
In a follow-up, Fridman asked Trump about previous “hesitation” on releasing Epstein documents.
“There’s a moment where you had some hesitation about [Jeffrey] Epstein releasing some of the documents on Epstein,” the podcast host said. “Why the hesitation?”
“I don’t think I had… I mean, I’m not involved,” Trump replied. “I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did.”
Trump was then asked why “so many smart, powerful people” allowed Epstein to get so close.
“He was a good salesman. He was a hailing hardy type of guy,” the GOP candidate said. “He had some nice assets that he’d throw around like islands. But a lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately, I was not one of them.”
“I’d certainly take a look at it,” Trump added when Fridman pressed on the issue of releasing additional documents. “Now, Kennedy’s interesting ’cause it’s so many years ago. You know, they do that for danger too, because you know, endangers certain people, et cetera, et cetera. So Kennedy is very different from the Epstein thing. But yeah, I’d be inclined to do the Epstein. I’d have no problem with it.”
Of course, the most riveting document would be a client list.
The full hourlong interview included a discussion on legalizing marijuana, popular podcaster Joe Rogan, and the war in Ukraine, among other things — it can be seen below:
