Donald Trump primed to reveal major US secrets after promise on Joe Rogan podcast as he's sworn in

Donald Trump promised to release two major US secrets if he became president for a second time.

Back in November, he stormed the election against Democratic party leader Kamala Harris, winning 312 electoral votes against Harris' 226.

Ahead of the vote though, he sat down with podcaster and MMA star Joe Rogan for a three-hour-long, unscripted chat on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Now, Donald Trump has vowed to make a lot of bold changes to the country once he's inaugurated - from making the US the 'crypto capital of the planet' to freeing some of the January 6 rioters.

However, on the Joe Rogan Experience, he said he would finally reveal 'secret' government files about two topics the public is incredibly interested in.

Speaking to Rogan back in November, Trump claimed he would unbox classified government papers on the assassination of John F. Kennedy back in 1963.

One of the biggest events in modern history, JFK was gunned down in broad daylight as he rode through Dallas, Texas, becoming the subject of numerous conspiracy theories over the years.

Trump told Rogan: "I did partially open. I think I've opened 50 percent but I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I'm going to do it I'm going to do it very soon there's a lot of interest in it."

Trump said that due to the case documents involving people who are still alive, 'you tend not to do it' when it comes to releasing classified documents.

It follows up on a promise he made to presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, known as RFK Jr - the nephew of JFK.

RFK Jr's father was Senator Bobby Kennedy, who himself was also assassinated in 1968 while running for the presidency, earlier in the election campaign.

With RFK Jr suspending his campaign and supporting Trump, the president-elect publicly promised to release thousands of documents linked to his uncle's murder.

Trump also touched on the subject of extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), suggesting he'd release more information on the matter.

The president-elect said: "There's a lot of interest in the people coming from space. And I know you're interested in that. It's never been my thing. I have to be honest. I never have been a believer."

But he confirmed he had spoken to many pilots that have made him question things, saying: "I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people, perfect - great pilots, great everything.

"And they said, 'We saw things, sir, that were very strange. Like, a round ball but it wasn't a comet or a meteor'.

"'It was something and it was going four times faster than an F222', which is a very fast plane, you know. And it was round, which isn't, in theory, a great shape."

With Trump taking office later today, let's see if he's true to his word on this one...

Everything else Trump has pledged to do as 47th US President

Delaying the TikTok ban

After TikTok went dark yesterday (January 19), it was bought back after mere hours with a message reading: "Welcome back! Thank you for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the US!"

Trump will reportedly sign an executive order to delay the ban saying he wants to 'make a deal to protect our national security.'

Immigration

In a statement during a rally at Madison Square Garden during his presidential race he said: "On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out.

"I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."

Planning over 100 executive orders

It's been reported by AP that Trump plans on preparing over 100 executive orders on his first day in the White House. Trump's allies have reportedly spent time preparing documents that Trump can sign quickly, on issues such as deportation, school gender policies and vaccine mandates, without input from congress.

“There will be a substantial number,” said Senator John Hoeven, R-N.D.

'Make Greenland Great Again Act'

In a bid that has not gone down well with Greenlanders, taking to his social media platform Truth Social Trump said: "For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

“Greenland is an incredible place. The people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

Getting rid of birthright citizenship

Exactly as it sounds, Trump once declared he wanted to get rid of birthright citizenship, which immediately gives citizenship to anyone born in US. Noting that this may not be possible as it's written into the constitution, he said he wants to achieve this by executive order - bypassing congress again - 'if we can'.

Cut federal funding for schools educating on 'inappropriate' topics

Speaking early last year, Trump addressed a crowd in Iowa and made plans to 'save [the] country from destruction'.

"On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity," he said, per NPR.

Trump also said he would target schools pushing 'any other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children'.

Be a 'dictator'

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity last year, he referred to himself as a 'dictator' when asked if he was promising to 'never abuse power as retribution against anybody'.

In response, Trump said: "Except for Day 1. I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill. We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling," he continued. "After that, I'm not a dictator."

End Green Deals

Trump has spoken previously about his plan to 'terminate the Green New Deal', which he dubbed the 'Green New Scam'.

The Green New Deal was pitched by Democrats Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, but it was never signed into law.

Addressing the policies in a speech in September, Trump said: "To further defeat inflation, my plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam. Greatest scam in history, probably.

"We [will] rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act."

"I'm going to write it out in an executive order. It's going to end on Day 1."

Arrange green cards for college graduates

Despite making his stance on migration clear, Trump has advocated for non-US citizens to receive green cards to stay in the country if they graduate from college.

During an episode of the 'All In' podcast recorded this year, Trump said: "Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years, if you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country [...]

"Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can't even make a deal with the company because they don't think they're going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on Day 1."

Scrap 'electric vehicle mandates'

Trump plans to scrap Biden administration’s so-called electric vehicle mandate, referring to new pollution standards that incentivize auto manufacturers to increase production of electric and lower-emission vehicles.

Despite vowing to get rid of the policy on his first day, Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan the move could take 'maybe two days, because it’s a little bit busy'.

Fire the man who indicted him

Trump faced two federal cases in relation to the 2020 election result from special counsel Jack Smith, and the future POTUS has no plans to work with him again.

Speaking on October 24, Trump told the Hugh Hewitt show he would fire Smith 'within two seconds'.

"He'll be one of the first things addressed," he said.
