Redacted News: Tucker Carlson Drops Epstein BOMBSHELL, DOJ Deleting Files with Rothschild Connections | Redacted
Date: February 17, 2026

Episode Overview

This episode of Redacted, hosted by Clayton and Natali Morris, is a no-holds-barred investigation into the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga. The hosts dig deep into the DOJ's refusal to release millions of Epstein-related documents, the ongoing deletion of files—especially those mentioning Rothschild connections—the global power structures potentially shielding the guilty, and the disturbing occult and ritualistic elements possibly at play. Special guests, congressional soundbites, and a thoughtful professor on the demonic and symbolic dimensions enrich the show’s thorough, provocative analysis.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. DOJ Halts Epstein File Releases, Deletes Key Documents

• The hosts report that, despite an expectation of 3 million new Epstein-related documents, the DOJ (under AG Pam Bondi) has declared all files released and is moving on. Host Clayton notes, “We are not done and we are not moving on from it” (01:12).

• Natali highlights "growing backlash" after the DOJ’s abrupt halt, with approximately half of 6 million files still unreleased (11:26). Senator John Kennedy and Rep. Nancy Mace demand full disclosure.

• The hosts break the story that, not only has the DOJ stopped releases, but they're actively deleting references to major financial powerhouses, especially search hits for "Rothschilds," which dropped by hundreds in real-time as the hosts checked (14:00–15:00).

  Clayton: "Initially there were over 12,000 mentions of the Rothschilds in the files... Over the past just few minutes... continuing to drop. Why are they hiding this?" (14:00)

2. No Justice for U.S. Players – “Supra Government” Theory

• Former Norway PM Thorbjørn Jagland was arrested in Norway (not the UK, US, or Israel), for Epstein-related corruption—prompting the hosts to question why the U.S. has seen no comparable accountability (06:32).

  Clayton: "That would be like Bill Clinton being arrested..." (06:32)

• Clips from Tucker Carlson and Darrell Cooper reinforce the theory that Epstein operated at the behest of a “supra government”—an informal coalition of intelligence (CIA, Mossad, MI6) and banking elites, above nation-state law (08:42–09:47).

  Cooper: "It’s clearly an informal governance body over what the rest of us consider the authorities..." (09:47)

  Tucker (paraphrased): “He’s not working for any one country... he’s kind of this independent power broker... together who form some kind of supra government.” (08:42–09:00)

• The hosts and Rep. Massie claim deliberate efforts for decades to shield exposed figures from arrest—only “performative arrests” may occur (09:17).

3. Congressional Anger & DOJ Document Deletions

• Senator John Kennedy, Rep. Nancy Mace, and especially Rep. Thomas Massie are outraged at the DOJ’s document deletions. Massie directly blames both the Biden and Trump Justice Departments for shielding the “Epstein class.” (11:26–15:38)

  Massie: “They can’t keep those documents down after they’ve already produced them.” (15:00)

• Natali explains, the public claims it’s for “victim protection,” but Massie says that’s no excuse—those files should be redacted and re-posted, not deleted (15:38).

• The “Rothschild” deletions fuel speculation about financial elite involvement and continued high-level coverups (14:00–15:00).

4. Basic Hacking Reveals More DOJ Incompetence

• Clayton tests a viral tip: by changing file extensions from PDF to MP4 in the DOJ’s released library, he uncovers hours of video surveillance from Epstein’s jail and correctional facilities (17:05–19:30).

  Clayton: “Are they that dumb? It’s unbelievable.” (18:03)

  Natali: “This is literally the same dumbass thing [as Snowden’s teen hacking story].” (19:23)

5. Zorro Ranch—Even Worse Than Epstein Island?

• The hosts question why Zorro Ranch, Epstein’s expansive New Mexico property, has remained uninvestigated despite disturbing allegations—even as the new owner begs police to search with radar and cadaver dogs (27:41–34:49).

  • Reference to a former staff member’s email claiming, “Two foreign girls were buried there on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.” (34:18)
  • DOJ reportedly told New Mexico authorities not to investigate; critics smear current owner Don Huffines, who has actually invited an investigation.

  Natali: “I just can’t get over how much murder is in these files and nobody was ever charged...” (34:49)

  Clayton: “Why hasn't the DOJ looked at this property?” (35:05)

6. “Two-Tiered Justice System” and Media Complicity

• The hosts and guests parade examples of differential justice—harsh penalties for the powerless, leniency and advance warning for the elite.

  • DOJ gave Epstein notice ahead of searches, allowed destruction or hiding of evidence (35:33–36:08).

• Mainstream outlets (e.g., NBC, ABC, NY Times) are mocked for “whitewashing,” providing cover, or even sending female reporters to interview Epstein after his conviction (21:29, 48:31).

  Natali: “The New York Times sends a female reporter alone to interview a convicted sex criminal...” (48:31)

7. Epstein’s Unbelievable Plea Deal – Emails Exposed

• New DOJ/emails show Epstein’s team negotiated their own terms for his “punishment”—including work release to a non-existent foundation, chummy US attorneys, and barely any pushback even when caught lying (43:27–46:42).

  Natali: “Not only that, Epstein would later go on to have a chummy relationship with this prosecutor...” (47:07)

• The hosts point out that many professionals and journalists (NY Times’ Landon Thomas, Nellie Bowles) continued to have cozy relationships with Epstein after covering his crimes. Even the 2008 prosecutor later dined with him (48:31, 48:44).

8. The Occult, “Baal,” and Demonic Symbolism

• After repeated mentions of occultism, Baal, and ritualistic child abuse in the Epstein files, the conversation deepens with Prof. Richard Spence, leading expert on the occult (50:43–51:00).

• Discussion explores: the code-word “jerky” (possibly for human flesh, drugs, or worse); the recurring symbolism and names (Baal/Baal); and how such imagery may represent performative evil or attempts to break moral laws for “transcendence.” (55:27–60:04)

  • Whitney Webb clip: Leslie Wexner described himself as “possessed by a demon” (“debuk” in Yiddish) (52:47–53:31).
  • Prof. Spence: "Naming things, the use of words in an occult sense, is the first step in creation... They shouldn't be used accidentally." (58:30)

• Are these rituals sincere worship, psychological manipulation, or just theater? Prof. Spence warns: “Sincerity is hard to gauge. You don't have to believe in Satan to exploit its image to manipulate others.” (69:15)

• Discussed: parallels to CIA psyops, historical and modern use of occult symbols and ritual to justify, embolden, or shield unspeakable crimes (65:34–71:26).

• Ultimately, the Professor counsels: regardless of the metaphysics, the real evil is manifest in what is actually done to human beings.

  Spence: “What they do is evil, regardless of whether it's inspired by their own flawed natures or by demonic possession. The result is the same. That's what we have to punish.” (86:50)

9. Reflection & Community Feedback

• The hosts reflect with their panel and chat: does it even matter whether “the devil made them do it”?—these actions are prosecutable, horrific crimes either way.

  • Chat comments highlight the persistent two-tiered justice system and the symbolic use of religion or spirituality by elites for power and justification.

  Clayton: “Two things can be true, right? That it is real, which I 100% believe.” (93:13) Natali: “For spiritual-minded people, it would matter. Are you welcoming the devil into your society?” (94:53)

Tone and Atmosphere

The hosts are skeptical, determined, and darkly humorous, unafraid to call out hypocrisy and media complicity. The panel fiercely upholds independent truth-seeking, delivers tough criticism of both political parties, and refuses to settle for surface explanations. The mood becomes notably somber and cautious when demonic themes emerge, with both Clayton and Natali inviting viewers to “protect themselves” energetically, admitting personal discomfort, yet reiterating the importance of confronting this darkness head-on.

Summary Takeaways

Redacted’s February 17, 2026, episode is an exhaustive, unsparing look at the multidimensional cover-up around Epstein’s crimes—focusing on the role of elite power structures, missing documentation, systemic legal impunity, media complicity, and the possible embrace or performance of dark occult symbolism as justification or psychological fuel. The take-home message, reinforced by the hosts and expert guests, is that questions of metaphysics or the literal reality of “the devil” are secondary for justice: what matters most is that demonstrable evil has occurred at the highest levels, and those responsible should be prosecuted—no matter how well-shielded or disguised.
