Redacted News – Oct 28, 2025
Hosts: Clayton Morris & Natali Morris
Notable Guests: Col. Douglas Macgregor, Dr. Michael Salla, investigative journalist Brian Ference

Episode Overview

This episode of Redacted features a multifaceted investigation into three primary issues:

1. Breaking inconsistencies and new evidence in the Charlie Kirk shooting and alleged TPUSA coverups

The hosts emphasize their mission of independent, fearless journalism—delving into controversial stories ignored or distorted in mainstream media.

I. Middle East Update: Israel, Gaza, and U.S. Policy

Key Points & Insights

• Ceasefire Violations

  • Israel resumed strikes in Gaza shortly after a Trump-brokered ceasefire. Netanyahu claims retaliation for Hamas attacks, but details remain vague.
  • Israel justifies renewed attacks by blaming Hamas for not returning hostage remains, which Hamas claims require heavy equipment due to large-scale destruction.

• U.S.-Israel Relations

  • The hosts and guest Col. Douglas Macgregor discuss Israel’s open disregard for U.S. pressures (President Trump’s policies).
  • Netanyahu asserts Israeli sovereignty—“We decide what our security concerns are. We do what we want.” (12:15)
  • U.S. continues funding and supplying Israel, undermining claims of autonomy.

• Global Instability

  • Col. Macgregor warns of multiple "boiling pots": Ukraine, Venezuela, the Middle East.
  • He emphasizes limits to U.S. power and resources, with military overreach and economic fragility being key threats.
  • Regional war with Iran is a growing concern; Turkey’s future political direction could dramatically shift the balance.
  • “The only answer is to cut Israel off, stop funding them, and put an end to this mass murder and expulsion, not just in Gaza but also in the West Bank. But look, he’s not going to do that.” – Col. Macgregor (08:05)

• Venezuela and Regime Change

  • U.S. moving naval groups into South American waters signals escalating tensions with Venezuela.
  • Regime change history, oil interests, and local resistance complicate any intervention.
  • Inside quote: “Venezuela will be another bottomless pit for resources and money, and people that we can't afford or don’t need.” – Col. Macgregor (11:33)
  • Concerns over assassination plots against Maduro, and U.S. underestimating regional complexity.

II. Charlie Kirk Assassination: TPUSA Corruption and Case Irregularities

Setting the Stage

• Turning Points USA (TPUSA) response to Charlie Kirk’s shooting is under scrutiny amid allegations of evidence tampering and internal corruption.
• Candace Owens and investigative journalist Brian Ference are central to exposing conflicting accounts and coverups.

Key Discussion Points

a. Timeline Tampering & Camera Removal

• Cameraman Terrell Farnsworth filmed a selfie reaction immediately after the shooting and removed a key SD card/evidence from the scene—action justified by TPUSA as "police instruction", which police protocols refute (23:21).
• Contradictory accounts: Tyler Boyer (TPA CEO) says police instructed him; Farnsworth cites a personal safety rationale. Video circulates showing the moments immediately after the shooting, raising suspicions about motive and awareness.

b. Internal Corruption & Coverups

• Allegations of Sexual Assault Coverups (32:08)
  • Multiple accounts of sexual harassment and assault involving senior TPUSA staff (in particular Matthew Martinez, with Boyer accused of handling investigation inappropriately).
  • Victim intimidation: NDAs cited as a barrier to police involvement, with company legal threats to maintain secrecy.
  • “NDAs do not apply to sexual assault. Absolutely not.” – Brian Ference (36:35)
  • Pattern of gaslighting, legal intimidation, and falsified records regarding donor data and events.

c. Culture Problems

• Staff describe a disconnect between public Christian values and internal behavior—including parties, inappropriate speakers, inflated data, intimidation, and mismanagement.
• “Their company is incredibly litigious... These are skilled emotional and psychological manipulators that have the ability to just lie constantly, gaslight people, and then follow up with legal threats.” – Brian Ference (38:28)
• TPUSA's attempts to present Kirk and leadership as blameless “disciples” is rejected both by hosts and sources.

d. Motivation for Audit and Kirk’s Role

• Evidence suggests Kirk was auditing financial irregularities and attempting to regain executive control shortly before his death.
• Post-assassination, the audit was reportedly canceled—a possible motive for internal strife.

Notable Quotes

• “He just shot Charlie. My friend is being loaded into an SUV. I'm going to stand here and record my reaction.” – Natali, pointing out the disturbing self-focused response (28:12)
• “How did [the shooter] know exactly where Charlie Kirk would be? The location wasn’t announced until the evening before.” – Clayton (90:34)
• “If it was a one off, I would maybe agree... But this is a pattern of behavior.” – Brian Ference (37:08)
• “[TPUSA staffer]: There is nothing godly about them. They are protecting what is going on there, and it is the culture.” (40:12)

III. NASA’s “Earth Defense Force” and the 3 Eye Atlas Comet (48:26)

Opening Concerns

• NASA and global agencies activate asteroid and comet monitoring networks for the 3 Eye Atlas, a Manhattan-sized object.
• Pundits speculate whether this is genuine planetary defense, a cover for secret space programs, or psychological operations (psy-ops) to justify globalist initiatives.

Key Points

• The comet’s unique trajectory, and its correlation with the direction of the historical “Wow! Signal” (1977), fuels alien-mothership theories (49:05).
• Blackouts on data: No public Mars Orbiter images; alarms over possible “probe releases” from 3 Eye Atlas as perihelion is reached (closest pass to Sun Oct 29).
• UN-authorized International Asteroid Warning Network is coordinating a two-month global observation campaign (Nov 27 – Jan 27).
• U.S.-led Artemis Accords: 56 nations signed bilateral space agreements with NASA, compared to China’s more secretive, closed initiative.
• Secret Space Programs: U.S. may be training international pilots to use hybrid craft; China shares technology sparingly.
• “Why would 56 of the world’s leading space agencies agree to bilateral agreements with the United States as opposed to multilateral agreements with the United Nations?” – Dr. Michael Salla (55:49)

Notable Quotes

• “There’s an anticipation that there could be something released from 3 Eye Atlas... a mothership releasing spacecraft...” – Dr. Salla (53:38)
• “The United States has had a secret space program going back for decades using all sorts of advanced technologies.” – Dr. Salla (55:49)

IV. LASIK Eye Surgery: Industry Deceptions and Patient Horror Stories

Investigative Segment [62:42]

• Contrary to Marketing, LASIK Is Not Low-Risk for All

  • FDA data underreported complications; real rates of permanent adverse effects may be 10–30% (cf. Dr. Morris Waxler, former FDA official).
  • Patients have reported severe chronic pain, night vision loss, clinical depression, and suicide.
  • Highly publicized cases:
    • Ryan Kingerski (26) – LASIK contraindicated, complications, suicide. “Lasik took everything from me. I can’t take it anymore.” (65:55)
    • Jessica Starr – Detroit meteorologist, experienced chronic pain post-LASIK, suicide; left video diaries implicating the surgery.

• Coverups, Gaslighting & Regulatory Failure

  • The LASIK industry obfuscates serious risks—downplaying/reclassifying long-term complications as “resolved” at six months (69:35).
  • The American Academy of Ophthalmology resisted a decision checklist that would have warned patients, out of fear it would “needlessly frighten patients.”
  • LASIK clinics dominate advertising, suppressing critical media coverage.
  • Insurance companies stopped covering LASIK, further incentivizing risky approvals and lower prices.

• Patient Voices and Industry Pushback

  • “I wouldn’t recommend or have anyone in my family have it done.” – Dr. Waxler (69:41)
  • “Lasik, in my opinion, is a public health hazard.” – Clayton (71:41)
  • “No one told me the risks associated with this.” – Clayton, on his own LASIK experience (73:49)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “If the official 1% number is correct, that’s still thousands of people every year. By that number, we wouldn’t approve a vaccine because of adverse events.” – Clayton (70:09)
• “They didn’t deny the risks. They just didn’t want to scare you.” – Clayton on the Academy's opposition to patient warnings (71:51)

V. Community Insights, Commentary, and Miscellaneous

Audience Reactions & Additional Discussion

• Listeners express fears, gratitude for the reporting, and question industry ethics.
• Some argue for natural vision improvement, note differences between LASIK and LASEK, and discuss workplace/behavioral impacts on eye health.
• Segments feature reading of superchats, with frequent callbacks to earlier points (construction workers rarely wear glasses, natural sun exposure, skepticism toward dentists).
• “How do you handle... seeing close up at this age?” – Personal anecdotes from hosts tie into ongoing debate about medical interventions vs. natural approaches.

VI. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
