Episode: BREAKING! The Epstein Cover-Up EXPLODES: DOJ Claims ‘New Evidence’ & new 'Investigation' | Redacted
Date: November 20, 2025

Overview

This episode dives into several major news stories ignored or mischaracterized by the mainstream media, with a special focus on the latest developments in the Epstein cover-up and the DOJ’s claims of “new evidence,” ongoing U.S. military actions in Somalia, and an exploration into Antarctica’s secretive depths. Through interviews with key independent journalists, researchers, and a Kremlin spokesperson, Redacted aims to challenge government narratives and demand greater transparency.

Key Topics & Discussions

1. Epstein Cover-Up and DOJ's Claim of 'New Evidence'

• [02:34 – 07:46]
• Natalie and Clayton discuss the suspicious DOJ announcement of a "new investigation" into Epstein immediately after Congress voted to release Epstein-related documents.
• The DOJ claims ongoing investigations as rationale for withholding documents, repeating a familiar pattern.
• Natalie highlights the government’s persistent avoidance of investigating key figures in Epstein’s network, particularly Les Wexner.
• Speculation around potential intelligence ties to Epstein and lack of curiosity about Wexner’s involvement.
• Independent media reports on Epstein’s connections to Israeli government, Rothschilds, and cyber-weapons trading.
• Natalie recaps Rep. Massey's warning: Congress will seek judicial remedies if DOJ uses "ongoing investigation" as an excuse.

Notable Quote

• Natalie Morris (03:26):
  “The timing is too suspicious to think that new information prompted this after they knew Congress was going to vote to release them. If you believe that, I don't know what to tell you.”

• Phil (07:46):
  “They got called out on this exact thing before they did it… People have been talking about this for a good week or so. Like they got called out before they did it and they did it anyway.”

2. Interview: Kremlin Spokesperson on Russia, Ukraine, and Western Propaganda

• [10:24 – 17:39]
• Clayton recounts his interview with Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for President Vladimir Putin.
• Zakharova dismisses the narrative that Russia is "running out of fuel" as Western propaganda.
• Russia has rerouted exports and stabilized its economy despite sanctions.
• Discussion of Ukraine’s $200B fighter jet deal with France and Sweden; she claims these jets “will be destroyed the moment they enter Ukraine.”
• Zakharova calls the war existential for Russia and accuses the West of money laundering via limitless aid to Ukraine.
• She confirms Western media ignores Ukrainian corruption and peace talks are nonexistent.

Notable Quotes

• Maria Zakharova (as recounted by Clayton):
  “These fighter jets will be destroyed the moment they enter Ukraine, period.” ([13:27])

• Clayton Morris:
  “She said Western headlines are nothing but psychological warfare aimed at keeping Western audiences in the dark and convinced that sanctions are working.” ([11:00])

• Maria Zakharova (via Clayton):
  “The United States and the EU basically aren't counting the apples at all. They have no idea the amount of weapons and money that have flowed into Ukraine through this massive money laundering operation.” ([15:23])

3. US Airstrikes in Somalia: Media Silence and Consequences

• [21:17 – 33:34]
• Natalie introduces guest Dave DeCamp (Antiwar.com) to discuss the sharp uptick in US drone strikes in Somalia, now at 97 for the year.
• DeCamp notes how mainstream media fully ignores the escalating civilian toll, including children, and the mechanics of US reporting downplay the violence.
• The strikes are framed as fighting global terrorism (Al Shabaab, ISIS affiliates), but DeCamp finds little evidence for these being global threats or any meaningful US strategic interest.
• The propped-up Somali government is weak and reliant on US/EU/AU support, suggesting endless conflict is likely until US withdrawal.
• The lack of transparency and debate in US politics is highlighted, even from Somali-American Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Notable Quotes

• Dave DeCamp (22:27):
  “I think it kind of downplays the bombing because the way the US Military counts an airstrike is... each airstrike could be a major attack. It's really just an unprecedented level of bombing. The shocking thing… is that when I say it gets no media coverage in the US I mean none, zero.”

• DeCamp (28:14):
  “It kind of says a lot about our country, like, that our government could be doing something like this… I would be curious to see a poll. How many Americans are actually aware of this? I would say, like, 99% are not.”

4. The Las Vegas Cybertruck Explosion and the Suppressed Manifesto

• [36:16 – 47:37]
• Clayton recounts the story: A decorated Special Forces veteran, Matthew Livelsberger, blew up a rented Cybertruck outside Trump Hotel in Vegas.
• Livelsberger left a lengthy manifesto and emails claiming knowledge of classified government corruption and advanced technology; the document is now classified by the Pentagon.
• Brianna Morello (guest, Infowars) is fighting for transparency on the content and classification.
• The government’s pattern of disinformation and attempts to discredit independent reporting is discussed; comparison to how motives are concealed or manipulated in high-profile violent incidents.
• Morello also references the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt's media obfuscation as part of a pattern.

Notable Quotes

• Brianna Morello (38:16):
  “Unfortunately I was told by the Department of War that they'd get back to me after having a discussion with national intelligence as to why that document is now classified… We deserve an expert explanation.”

• Morello (45:13):
  “They were intentionally trying to plant false information to create this type of speculation and discredit those media outlets who were just trying to report on the story itself.”

5. Antarctica: Hidden Mysteries & Allegedly Suppressed History

• [49:58 – 79:41]
• Clayton interviews Brad Olson, author of "Secrets of Antarctica," about enduring mysteries of the continent.
• Admiral Richard Byrd's expeditions: Olson recounts claims Byrd flew into an "inner Earth" via massive polar openings, described in both diaries and intelligence community testimony.
• Byrd’s son allegedly died under mysterious circumstances after planning to speak about high jump’s 40th anniversary.
• Discusses the existence of massive underground cities, step pyramids, domes, anomalous satellite images, and advanced ruins visible via Google Earth.
• The 1950s Antarctic Treaty, military restrictions, and no-access zones are examined; stories of explorers detained or ordered to leave sensitive areas, and cooperation among global powers to obscure what lies beneath.
• The theory that postwar Nazi science and technology were covertly relocated to Antarctica is explored, with references to Operation High Jump and the “Fourth Reich.”

Notable Quotes

• Brad Olson ([54:21]):
  “When I had the great opportunity to go down there… it was like pulling the layers off an onion. You get one question and then you get 10 possible answers. So the layers just kept getting deeper and deeper.”

• Olson ([53:01]):
  “He [John B. Lathe] flew 1200 miles with the wind in his back. Into the inside of this planet. Not a molten core, far from it. Continental shells bigger than on the surface, seas that were equal to ours…”

• Olson ([72:08]):
  “The South Pole… is a no fly, a no go zone... I have a story in the book about some Olympic athletes from Australia... these Navy SEALs came in and landed and said, all right ladies, you're getting on board, you ain't going any further.”

• Olson ([73:31]):
  “That's the Antarctica Treaty… One of the very first things it says, apart from no military activity or arms testing, but in specific language, no nuclear bomb testing in our archae. So why would they go to those lengths unless perhaps it had already been done?”

• Clayton Morris ([78:26]):
  “I think it's clear as day that Hitler was not killed in that bunker that day. And I could go on and talk about this for hours. It's a fascinating subject.”
