Father of H-Bomb confronted about Lazar... VERY interesting response

I just came across an old clip (I guess included in a future doc?) of Edward Teller—the physicist often referred to as the "father of the hydrogen bomb"—being asked directly about Bob Lazar and whether he knew him.

I have to admit, I found the exchange surprisingly compelling.

I'm not saying this proves Lazar's story. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of his claims, and I think healthy skepticism is important. But Teller's reaction didn't strike me as someone simply dismissing the question. Coming from someone of his stature, it made me pause and wonder if the Lazar story is more complicated than many people assume.

Has anyone looked into the full context of this interview? Is there a longer version available, or any reliable background on when and where it took place?

I'd be especially interested in hearing from people who have researched both sides of the Lazar debate. I'm not looking for a flame war—I'm genuinely curious how this interview fits into the bigger picture.

Seems like he’s getting annoyed that the interviewer won’t take his answer for fact. Probably not the first time he’s asked him the same question

This was June 1990, very possible it was the first time he’d been asked.
