tim pool
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to The Culture War.
I'm Tim Poole.
We've got a pretty serious issue for today's show.
Talking about hunting child predators.
But I'd like to throw it to Shane Cashman, who did some excellent reporting on this, to introduce the idea and explain what this is all about.
And then we'll introduce the gentleman involved.
shane cashman
Yeah, I came across the Predator Poachers on Twitter a few months ago and it was a video that really shocked me.
They caught a man who was attempting to meet a young girl.
tim pool
For not good reasons.
shane cashman
For terrible, evil reasons.
And, uh, I remember seeing them make the man call his wife and admit to what he was doing.
unidentified
Wow!
shane cashman
Yeah, and it was actually hard to watch.
I couldn't, uh... I actually couldn't get through it.
It made me sick.
I couldn't... First of all, because of what he was going to do, and then seeing the wife hear what he was doing, it was, like, shocking.
tim pool
So these are guys who are going online and sending explicit messages to children for the purpose of trying to lure them out.
shane cashman
11-year-olds, 12-year-olds, mostly.
tim pool
So you did a story, and you wrote a lot about it, but let's throw it to the gentleman in question, actually.
Alex, would you like to start and introduce yourself?
Your microphone?
alex rosen
Yes.
Well, thanks for having me on, first off.
tim pool
We have a group— You want to grab your mic and pull it?
alex rosen
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Thanks for having me on.
First off, we have a group called Predator Poachers where we, you know, like Shane said, travel the country catching online child predators.
And yeah, we often pose as minors online and do other ways, too, in order to, you know, identify and expose and turn in child predators.
And our work over the past four years has led to arrests in 44 different states and convictions of 31.
And we're hoping to get that number to 45 and 32.
So we'll see.
unidentified
Yeah.
Wow.
shane cashman
They're so busy, these guys.
It's crazy.
Oh yeah, introduce yourself, sir.
unidentified
I'm basically just the cameraman.
tim pool
Just the cameraman?
So you're there watching all this stuff?
unidentified
Yeah, I'm in the trenches right there.
tim pool
So you guys are working directly with law enforcement?
alex rosen
Well, we can't technically do that because we'd be acting as an agent of the state.
So law enforcement takes up our cases all the time, which is why we have those numbers that we do.
tim pool
Well, to clarify, you do the work and then hand it off to law enforcement.
alex rosen
That's correct.
Yes, absolutely.
We try to get their... So what we do is we approach them on camera.
We try to get their confessions on camera.
It works most of the time.
And we have a combination of like, you know, phone calls to who they think is this little girl, messages to who they think is this little girl.
Then they're admitting to sending it and wanting to do all of this stuff, plus maybe some other stuff too that they admit to.
Turn all that over to law enforcement and then law enforcement very often does what they need to do and arrest the guy.
tim pool
Convictions in 31 states.
alex rosen
Yes.
tim pool
Is there, but I assume it's not one person per state, right?
alex rosen
There's more than just that, so... Yes, there's some states where it's only one, like I think Missouri, we have two people, well, I think three people, well actually three people in Missouri because we caught a couple in August, and we'll talk about that one later because it's really a... A couple as in two, or as a couple and two people together?
A couple as in like a male and a female coming to meet who they thought was an 11-year-old girl.
And another guy we caught, this was all in University City, Missouri, like within the past couple months.
So they're all going to be convicted soon.
I mean, the evidence against them is just very stacked.
But we only have one guy convicted from back in like 2021.
But then there's other states like, I mean, I'm just going to throw out Virginia, where we have like multiple that I can't even count right now.
Wow.
shane cashman
I mean, how bad is Ohio, where we were?
You said it was like the worst state of all of them?
alex rosen
Yeah, so out of all of the states, out of all the people that message us from all across the country, so we use platforms where it's not like local.
So we're not using like Tinder or Bumble or whatever.
And one of the reasons we do use like platforms rather than dating apps is because on dating apps, you have to be 18 and up.
So yeah, you'll catch people on dating apps that want to go after like teenagers, but very rarely are going to come across like a bonafide pedophile on a dating app.
But on platforms, there's whole communities dedicated to these people that are into stuff, even those young infants and toddlers.
So, we kind of go target those people, and yeah, we get the most messages from Ohio and probably Michigan.
tim pool
So let's start from, I definitely want to hear about how you get started doing this, how this happens, but Shane, you wrote an article for scnr.com, so I'd like to actually start with how you come across this, your experience, you guys went and actually embedded with this, and then we'll start to build up to how this all began.
shane cashman
So like I said, I saw that video months ago.
It kind of shook me.
I couldn't believe that was happening.
I was glad it was happening.
And then I couldn't believe how busy you were because your website was very busy.
And it's like how prevalent this evil is, right?
So I've been watching Alex for a minute.
And then I think a week before we linked up before the story, someone just tweeted at me to write a story about him.
And I was like, that's actually a great idea.
And then you, I think you reached out and you're like, let's do it.
And we had something set up in a week and Ohio was fairly close and I was there.
And, uh, you know, we, I remember meeting in the parking lot we were at outside of that GameStop and it was like suiting up for war.
tim pool
Well, tell the story.
shane cashman
Um, well, in terms of when I meet them there.
tim pool
Yeah, it's like, what happened on this on this mission?
shane cashman
And we meet we meet in the parking lot.
And I'm like, they got four, I think three or four people lined up that day.
And we're suiting up, you guys are suiting up.
I'm observing from the background a decoy shows up, which I wasn't even aware of at first.
And they use a decoy who I believe is in her mid 20s.
And she happens to be a petite woman with a speech impediment.
And she puts herself in these situations in public, you know, meeting these evil men.
I call them demons in the story.
And so she goes out there when we go to meet the first person.
And we have all the messages printed out from all the interactions they've had with these men, which are extremely explicit.
And they know in the messages that these girls are 11 or 12 years old.
There's no like, there's no loopholes around that.
We, they, they say everything explicitly of what they want to do to these young girls.
So we, we go to the, uh, meetup spot.
I think the first one, first one was at a gas station and, uh, but that person didn't show up.
That person was going to pay $20 to be with a minor.
It was unbelievable which is an immediate arrest you mean be with as in like to have sex Wow yeah with a 12 year old girl That person was spooked didn't show up.
We ended up going to the first big operation of the day was This one's even hard to recount.
I mean, I don't know how they do this every day honestly This guy in his, I think he was almost 60.
Uh, he had been in prison already for molesting a 10 year old.
He had been out, he got out in the nineties.
He had been on the registry and then was on a registry so long he had already gotten off the registry.
unidentified
Wow.
shane cashman
The house he was living in was near schools.
There were kids toys in the yards everywhere.
Um, and he waited in his yard for what he believed to be a 12 year old girl to appear.
That's where the decoy steps in.
These guys are waiting in the car outside on the sidewalk.
We're watching him standing in the yard, waiting, looking around.
The decoy walks up.
She's holding a doll and she's wearing a Minecraft backpack and she hands him the doll.
He holds it to his chest and it's the creepiest, creepiest image.
And there's just like guys setting up Christmas lights around us.
You know, this is right before Thanksgiving.
And he gives the doll back.
Basically says something like, I don't want people to see us like this with the doll.
Hands it back.
He puts his arm on her back or on her arm or his hand on her arm.
And they walk towards what he believes is her empty house where her parents are not going to be.
This is what they've arranged.
tim pool
He was going to what he thought was a child's house?
shane cashman
Yes.
Yes.
And as they walk towards that imagined house, these guys pop out.
Alex has all the messages printed out, which I believe are from Facebook at that point.
Extremely explicit.
And it's like a stack of papers.
They've been talking for maybe a month or two.
So then decoy gets back in the car, cameramen get out, Alex starts walking up the street, and basically Alex announces, I'm a civilian, you don't have to be here, you don't have to talk to me, but we have to talk about this situation.
And almost every time, so far as I can tell, they just kind of get paralyzed.
There's no fight or flight.
Maybe a few times, we can get into those.
But for the most part, these men just start talking about it very casually.
There's loopholes in their logic.
They try to blame it on someone else.
They try to blame it on, like this guy I'm talking about.
Oh, his nephew stole his phone.
It was him.
Oh, that's just stupid talk he kept saying.
But Alex does this thing, and I'd like to hear him talk about that later on, where it's like, he's, and it's hard to watch, but he plays a good cop.
Where he's kind of getting, I don't wanna say on their side, but kind of putting the blame on something else other than just them being evil, which we all know they're evil, right?
But by doing that, he gets to extract information.
And by extracting information, that allows it for these men to hopefully be convicted.
tim pool
And it seems like many of them do get convicted.
shane cashman
Many.
alex rosen
Yeah.
tim pool
Many.
So that's wild.
How does this start?
One day you wake up and you're like, I am going to do something about these evil people.
alex rosen
Kind of, sort of.
I'm 23 years old, now I look older, but like I like to say, seeing graphic photos of old men's genitalia can age you a little bit.
I started doing this when I was 19 years old.
I've always wanted to be a cop in Houston, where I'm from, Houston, Texas, and I couldn't be a cop at 19.
At least back a couple years ago, you had to be 21 to graduate the academy.
After my first year of college, I was playing college football at Texas Southern.
I had like a very strict regimen, like wake up at 5, go to sleep at 10, like every night, but then we had three weeks off going into summer, so I like completely just threw all that away, and was like, alright, I'm gonna stay up until 6am, just, you know, I haven't done this in like a year.
So, um...
I got into these videos online like I've seen Chris Hansen like in high school before and you know I thought it was cool but never really just didn't really like register to me like wow this is crazy but like seeing these videos again like not only Chris Hansen but more like civilian groups like Pop Squad and Anxiety War and Justin Payne I was like wait there's like I don't know about that part just regular people doing this I thought it was like a TV show or cops doing it And I was like, well, I wonder how bad this problem really is because, you know, I've never really been a sideline sitter with anything.
I've always just gone out there and want to go do things that nobody else really does.
And I just decided to go throw up a fake profile of a 15-year-old boy and just see what happens.
And within 30 minutes, somebody wants to go meet up for sex.
tim pool
30 minutes?
alex rosen
30 minutes.
And I was like, what the heck?
So I call up my friend Jordan and I'm like, hey man, you want to go catch a pedophile?
And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So our first confrontation, you know, you think now when I'm talking to them for like two hours, the first one is a very, very far cry from that.
It's literally, we meet up in a parking lot.
I'm too scared to even confront the guy.
I just get his license plate and run off.
So yeah, but obviously since then it's evolved, but It didn't take long for me to see how big of a problem this really is.
Like, I think like 10, 10, 10 busts in, I was like, holy crap, this is, these people are like everywhere and every, anywhere and everywhere.
So then about 2020, um, we say, Hey, we want to stop posing as teenagers, start getting like pedo, like, like bonafide pedophiles.
Like they go after very young kids.
So we start posing as an eight year old girl.
And that didn't really stop.
That didn't really stop how many people are interested in us.
And that's what took us across the country.
And ever since then, we've been traveling everywhere.
unidentified
Wow.
shane cashman
It's crazy to watch these men be confronted by Alex and the team, and how they talk about it so nonchalantly.
And Alex is reading them their depraved messages, and they're just kind of, you know, maybe after 30 minutes or an hour, I don't say they break, but they start to admit more of the truth.
It's never the full truth, but you're getting closer and closer to the truth until you get a fuller view of what they actually had intended to do.
tim pool
Oh, they're evil and stupid.
shane cashman
Oh, some of them.
Some of them are... It's just a wide range of people.
This guy, who we walked into a field in Ohio, where we were talking about the doll and everything, this guy ended up defecating himself in front of us.
tim pool
Like out of panic or?
shane cashman
And my interpretation is that the demon inside of them is trying to get out of their body, but they also just might be sick men.
tim pool
That's one way to do it.
shane cashman
When I was writing the story, I kept asking Alex, like how many times you see these weird, like physical maladies happen?
Because one of the other guys had like a heart problem.
If you look at his page, there's another guy who had like a stroke and he's blaming all his evil urges on the stroke.
But then you watch the video, the guy then, his urges predate the stroke.
So it's like, I was curious, my interpretation is that it's some evil thing inside of them, but it could just be... Did it appear like he was suffering from, like, fear and anxiety, so he just crapped himself?
alex rosen
It could have been that.
tim pool
Or he's trying to scare you off?
alex rosen
No, well, he's like he had like stomach issues, he said.
But I mean, if he had stomach issues all these other days and wasn't crapping himself, I think there's like an independent variable that made him go do it.
But yeah, no, that's the thing with these predators.
They're very dysfunctional people, like even take away the attraction for kids.
A lot of them are just total losers.
They're not on time for anything.
They're just like, I don't know, they're what Klaus Schwab likes to call useless eaters a lot of times.
So that's the vibe we get, wouldn't you say?
unidentified
Yeah, you know, we saw... I think that was Yuval Noah Harari who says that.
alex rosen
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
He works for Klaus Schwab.
alex rosen
The other evil bald guy.
tim pool
But I could be wrong, I could be wrong.
shane cashman
The first guy we saw was certainly like a quintessential creep.
And the second guy as well.
But then the second day, that first one in the morning, there's a 23-year-old guy who was a fireman, who was a firearms instructor.
And these guys just rolled to the house.
We just go knock on the door, which said keep out on it, by the way, because it was still Halloween decorations were left up.
But like it's some type of like it is a type of recklessness.
I was feeling like we're just walking up to this house and anything could happen.
I mean, that guy's got his hands in his pockets.
I'm like, what's in that left pocket the whole time?
We eventually saw him get let out in cuffs too while his wife is inside the house.
tim pool
So the cops end up like when you go to confront the cops are already apprised to what's going on?
alex rosen
We go to a jurisdiction multiple times.
So for example, Huntsville, Alabama, we have seven arrests there alone.
So I'd say Huntsville is the best city to do this in.
So we do give the cops a heads up there, but when we were in like Vinton County, Ohio, where the firefighter got arrested, no, we didn't give him a heads up.
But the reason he got arrested on the spot, so Ohio is kind of weird.
So in Texas, if they're messaging who they believe is a kid and some other stuff happens, They can get arrested, even if I'm the one posing, if you're posing, he's posing.
But in Ohio, it has to be law enforcement or a real kid on the other end.
So they can only get arrested when we confront them for child porn.
So I kind of question them differently depending on the state laws.
Like in Ohio, this guy, the firefighter, is messaging who he believed to be a 13-year-old girl very sexually.
But we barely go over that in the video because it doesn't matter what he admits to with that.
He can't get arrested for it.
But I really hammered down like, hey man, let's talk about the child porn.
Who's sending this to you?
Like I try to say, who's sending this to you?
That's what I care about.
Not you.
You're just a guy who watches.
Who cares about that?
And then he ends up admitting to a hidden folder, gives the passcode to the hidden folder.
And he has over a hundred images on that hidden folder of child pornography.
And he's open.
So the cops, it's really, it was really a very good video because I mean, we got a shot of the cop rolling up.
Behind him, as he's going through his hidden folder, and you can watch this on Rumble, Rumble.com, Predator Poachers, and the cop's basically like, what's going on here?
I'm like, hey man, we just got some child porn you need to delete, right?
And instantly they're like, oh yeah, I'm going to delete the child porn.
But boom, that's admitting to having it.
And then the cop takes the phone, cuffs him, and so far he's going through the court process.
unidentified
Wow.
shane cashman
It's wild.
It's wild.
The way that Alex talks to them to get the information out is pretty impressive, because it does take hours.
I mean, the second guy that happened after the man who defecated himself, how much time did you spend with him?
Six hours?
alex rosen
Probably like four.
shane cashman
Well, the cops took forever to come.
Maybe two outside, then drove to his house with him, and the wife and son were also at the house waiting while the cops were on their way.
tim pool
It's kind of crazy.
There's this, uh, there's this crazy story.
I don't know if you guys saw.
Did you hear about this woman who was on the beach using a vibrator?
shane cashman
Oh yeah, I saw that, yeah.
tim pool
And then she blew her brains out.
shane cashman
Oh, I didn't see that, no.
tim pool
And now they're saying it might be a murder.
But it's kind of a crazy video because this lady...
It's body camera footage where this woman, they're saying like, hey, someone reported that you were masturbating on the beach.
And she's like, what?
That's crazy.
You must be joking.
Is someone putting you up to this?
It's like really bad acting.
They know you did it.
But then she just comes outright and says, yes.
And they're like, okay, you're under arrest for like, I don't know, obscenity or whatever the law is gonna be.
She was like, I went into the water and I was just sitting on the water and I took my vibrator and I put it in and like, It's like, okay, that's like a serious crime to do in public with people watching you.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
And then she just confesses right there on the spot.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
It's kind of crazy.
You hear this.
I mean, I guess it is relatively normal to a certain degree for criminals to just fess up right away they committed a crime.
unidentified
Yeah, it's kind of like a car.
alex rosen
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know why that lady confessed.
tim pool
I mean, but, you know, any of them, like you're telling me the story, this guy's pulling up his phone and be like, yep, here it all is.
alex rosen
Yeah.
Like, I mean, even I have a story where basically you remember in Victoria.
With a Stringer?
unidentified
Yeah.
alex rosen
In Victoria, we're like looking for this predator and then we're like, we're like far away from like the nearest gas station.
We're like, I mean at least like a five or ten minute drive.
I wouldn't say that's far away, but we all know we really all had to piss.
So we like went to some train tracks like away from the neighborhood facing away from everything and you know we just uh take a piss.
And there happens to be a train there, and there's actually a conductor in the train.
He's like, hey, what are you doing?
And we're like, oh, God.
So I was like, I thought nothing of it.
But then a cop rolls up, and he's like, did you guys go pee over there?
And I'm like, yeah.
And he's like, oh, well, you know, if there's anybody around, if the person gave his name, you could be arrested for that.
And I'm like, OK, I won't do it.
But even then, I just confessed to it immediately without legs.
But when it comes to stuff like the child porn, and you know the messaging the kids and even like we sometimes get them to confess to molesting their daughters and other people too like if we just put the pressure on them saying look basically like we already know this we're giving you a chance to separate yourself from the actual bad guys like the guy yesterday who do we get yesterday i'm trying to think Oh, okay.
Well, I'll talk about a guy in Georgia that we got recently.
He's not arrested yet, but he's currently out on bond for child pornography.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation got him in March, and he's out on bond, and we identified him as being on an app used for child porn again.
So we confronted him a couple days ago, and he admits all over again while he's out on bond that he's looking at pornography as young as infants.
But he didn't do that at first.
It's more like, look, man, I know you care about saving kids.
You have kids of your own.
But these actual people sending this to you are the real bad guys.
I just want to know what they're sending to you.
Then he's like, OK, well, I'm getting this, that, that, that.
And that's how he kind of got to do it.
shane cashman
It's wild.
I did not expect him to be so casual about it.
I thought there would be a lot more pushback and there is some sort of pushback in the beginning, but it's never full pushback.
They know they've been caught and they know there's messages in your hand that they've written and they dance around it for a little bit.
But eventually it just comes out.
tim pool
Why does it come to you guys, like, to do something like this?
Why isn't law enforcement doing more to stop these demons?
alex rosen
Well, I wouldn't say it's not law enforcement doing more.
Like, we get that comment a lot, like, oh, well, you're doing the job law enforcement won't do.
But it's not even that.
There's just way too many of these people.
Like, the guy in Georgia we caught with pornography as young as infants a couple days ago, law enforcement did do something about him like seven months ago, but how are they, but you know, you would think a guy who's facing 20 years in prison, his own words, not mine, facing 20 years in prison would control himself for just a little bit, but no, he doesn't.
So it's just way too many people.
Like the amount of people that we've caught twice, and the amount of people that we've caught that are sex offenders.
tim pool
More than one, like more than once.
So it's like, oh, hey, I remember you.
alex rosen
Yep, absolutely.
shane cashman
Three times for one person.
alex rosen
Yeah, three times.
tim pool
And they're just like, oh, it's you again.
They just keep doing it.
alex rosen
Yeah, no, I mean, we caught a guy three times in three separate states, got him arrested three separate times.
Starting in August, we caught him first in East Chicago, Indiana.
Then we caught him again in St.
Louis, Missouri.
And then we caught him, he's one of the guys that I think is going to get convicted soon in Missouri.
Then we caught him again at his home while he's on house arrest for the St.
Louis video.
In Waukegan, Illinois, and he's currently back in jail in Missouri, you know, awaiting trial because, you know, they don't want him released.
So yeah, I mean, these people do it over and over and over again.
And yeah, I mean, law enforcement does their job, but there's not enough people doing it.
unidentified
Wow.
shane cashman
Yeah.
One of the criticisms that I heard from the story was that you guys catch just like really dumb bottom feeders.
And there's certainly some of those, a lot of those, but there's also a range of people like the IT guy who you said took his life.
You know, like people with like, uh, I forget where that was, maybe Idaho or something.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
shane cashman
The guy, the boss came and took his computer and stuff, you know.
There's people with good jobs, there's people with no jobs, there's married men, you know, all ages.
It's just all types of people.
I think this is a problem that's not just in a certain type of person.
You know, I was looking at YouTube videos where they say how to identify this type of person.
And I don't think there's any way of identifying them.
You will never know, which is also why it's so damn terrifying.
tim pool
Is there a way, or have you encountered people that you'd consider to be smarter, or who have fled?
alex rosen
Yeah.
tim pool
You want to grab your mic and hold it to your mouth?
alex rosen
Got it.
Yeah, no, we've definitely come across, I would say, smart people.
I mean, definitely a lot of dumb ones, too.
But we came across a guy in Iowa a couple months ago.
I'm just going to call him K because he hasn't been arrested yet, but his phones are currently with the state of Iowa.
And he wasn't talking to any decoys.
He wasn't like on any of the apps that we know to be child porn related.
So we kind of just took a shot in the dark by messaging him.
My decoy hits me up.
He's like, hey, you want me to message him?
We also do a thing, too, where we we don't only pose as kids.
We sometimes just pose as pedos, too, to kind of get to the point with these people.
And we message him saying, hey, man, you ever get on any of those apps?
And he said no.
So we're like, all right, what's going on here?
But then he then he like kind of messages us saying, hey, do you live near Iowa?
You can come over and play with my daughter.
She's six.
And he tells us that he's been already touching her and taking video or photos of her.
So he invites us over on a Sunday, but we show up on Friday.
We don't want to show up when she's over because he kind of switches custody.
And he's a smart dude.
I mean, he's not like rich or anything, but he's a smart dude.
He has like a psychology degree, four year degree.
shane cashman
Business owner.
alex rosen
Yeah, failing business owner, but yes, business owner.
And basically he's like, well, I was just trying to do what you guys do.
I was trying to catch him too.
And so I started questioning him about his schedule.
I'm like, all right, well, when does she drop your daughter off?
When does this happen?
When does that happen?
And basically from everything he told me, it lined up to where he's actually inviting us over when he's only alone with his daughter.
Because he's like, well, I'm never alone with her, but he just gave me everybody's schedule like over the course, like 45 minutes.
And it lines up to where we, he is alone with her when he's inviting us over.
And I'm like, well, did you tell the cops about it?
You're doing this.
And he's like, oh, I didn't tell the cops yet.
I was going to tell him tomorrow.
I'm like, all right.
So then I'm like, Hey, look, man, if there's kind of something going on, it's, it's okay.
And he's like, yeah, well, I've had a stroke and ever since then I've kind of, you know, had this kind of an issue.
And he's like, but I've never done anything to my daughter, but I find her attractive.
I like her.
I like her smile.
And I'm like, then I started hammering him about the pictures.
I'm like, look, man, you want to show us your phone just to kind of clear it up?
He's like, yeah, I'll get the phone.
And then he's like, I don't want to go to jail.
Hey man, I've already seen everything on the phone.
You have a crappy Android, it's easy to get into.
And obviously we can't do that, but you know, he thought we could.
And he's like, okay, well the pictures of her are on the phone over here.
tim pool
So he actually did.
alex rosen
Yes.
And then he's like, I have the pictures, but, but I never molested her though.
And then I'm like, look, I'm prepared to go to that elementary school right now and go talk to her.
So I'm either going to hear it from her or you.
And he's like, okay, okay.
I've touched her vagina.
And I've like, and I'm like, did I ask him like verbatim?
I'm like, dude, how many times have you molested your daughter?
He's like two, two to three times.
So you can probably add two zeros to that, but, um, that's one of the most disturbing videos on his page.
Yeah.
tim pool
And this is a guy with a degree, a psychology degree?
alex rosen
He claims yes, but that's what he said, and a business owner, so.
shane cashman
Yeah.
Watching him break at that point, when you know you've got him, when he knows he's gonna go to jail for admitting this, even though he thinks you're a civilian, not calling the cops, it's like, it's unreal to see that happen.
And it's not rare, that's what happens in so many of these videos.
They don't, I don't know what it is, like why they don't feel like they need to run, you know, like what paralyzes them.
A part of me feels like they almost enjoy talking about it with someone.
tim pool
Yeah.
shane cashman
In a sick, sick way, you know, like, like the last guy I was with you with in Ohio, the firearms guy, he said he knew he needed help.
I think he said that thinking we wanted to hear that, but also he admitted he wanted to tell his friend, but his friend wouldn't understand.
This is a 23-year-old guy, a newlywed, just married.
alex rosen
Yeah, just married.
Yeah, no, I think that's a lot of it too.
They love talking about it because when we've posed as pedophiles, we have a guy, god I can't say his name, but he is arrested currently in jail right now, just not convicted yet.
We had a guy in Virginia who was messaging me thinking that I'm a dad of a 9-year-old girl basically pimping her out.
And I'm 23, but you know, I use my looks to my advantage.
Um, I was video calling him on instagram and you know, i'm like, yeah, what are you doing right now?
He's like i'm at work watching child porn right now And we have that video call record.
You can just go to rum predator poachers on rumble.
Go watch it I mean that call is there And you know, he talks about like our daughter Um, he wanted to meet up with us since we did not obviously, uh, since we didn't get on an app to trade child porn with him He ended up blocking us because he was suspicious like that.
We wanted to meet him without doing all that stuff and um So we end up going to his house a couple weeks later and I'm like, Hey dude, I was the guy talking to you.
I was this guy.
And he's like, Oh crap.
Yeah, I recognize it.
And he admits to thousands of images on his laptop.
He admits to being in a group of over 12,000 people, all trading child pornography.
They have to put in every 12 hours or they get kicked out.
And then he admits to molesting over 10 kids.
He hints at molesting his own daughters, you know, cause I asked him like, Hey man, I talked to your daughters and his reaction is like, Oh, You talked to my daughter?
He's panicked.
And I'm like, yeah, I did, man.
I did.
And he's like, I can't control what I do in my sleep.
It was a loose admission, but he definitely admitted to molesting 10 other kids.
And then he gets arrested the next day.
The cops took his devices that day.
And then his daughter gets in touch with me a couple weeks later, and she's like, yeah, it absolutely happened.
Serial predator is going to be off the streets for good, I think, soon.
shane cashman
It, other than the, um, the flippancy with which these men talk about it, I was also shocked about the, the way the demons are so driven by their evil urges that they have like tunnel vision and they'll go out into daylight.
I mean, we were about to meet multiple guys at a gas station to do this stuff at like 11 in the morning.
People are everywhere.
tim pool
They're, it's like, they're fearless.
shane cashman
They can't help.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
They're fearless.
Cause they've been getting away with it.
Cause there's so, there's so many, they have a complete ego.
They're narcissistic, evil people.
And it's just like, they're showing up in their cars.
I couldn't believe how, I think a lot of people view all this is happening in the shadows of the internet and in real life, but it's, it's happening in the daylight all the time.
alex rosen
Yeah, that's why I think the internet's a double-edged sword.
I don't think there's more pedophiles now than there was 50 years ago, at least as a percentage of the population, but the internet lets them offend 24-7 because instead of only doing it when they visit their granddaughter every two years, they can just go watch child porn right now.
You know, and that's terrible, but the good side of that is all these people, like, for example, that guy in Virginia, if you just type in Predator Poachers Midlothian, you'll see that video on Rumble.
People like that who have been molesting kids their whole life, now the internet lets me in Houston, Texas, identify this guy 1,500 miles from my house, and now his brain of terror is done.
So, you know, we gotta, just like they use it for their own desires, we gotta use it for our own for good, so.
shane cashman
That's how I came up with it too.
I've done some shows about this story since we talked and a lot of people are saying like, the internet is so bad.
It's, you know, this is the problem with the internet.
I get it.
It accelerates the problem, but then you get to weaponize it against them.
And the problem is an ancient evil urge that's been there.
It well predates the internet, right?
So they certainly use it to their advantage and parents need to step up and be more vigilant with their kids' use of the internet.
But then people like you are turning it back on these people and hopefully putting a stop to a lot of them.
I remember one thing you were saying is like, it's kind of like a small dent, you know?
But I was like, this is a big dent in these communities.
You're taking out just one person.
Those neighbors came out and were, I don't wanna say celebrating, but they were like, thank you, you know?
Make sure that guy stays away.
Grandparents with kids that come by all the time right next door, you know, so you're making a big impact in all these little neighborhoods.
Um, and also by.
Spreading this, uh, info online of like how prevalent it is.
I think a lot of people, it's easier for a lot of people to like silo this evil and to like, Oh, that's the Catholic church.
And that's a lot of comments I was getting, Oh, where were you at the Catholic church?
I'm like, no, I was in probably your neighborhood.
Like, or, or it's, or it's, you know, uh, Epstein rich people doing it.
It's everybody.
alex rosen
And that's the thing with the whole bottom feeder thing, like yeah, every single one of these people were at your poor bottom feeders, technically.
shane cashman
Yeah, yeah.
alex rosen
But like...
You know, if they're out going to terrorize kids, I mean, it doesn't really matter how much they make.
Like, I mean, it doesn't matter.
Like, like, you know, I haven't, I haven't, there's a lot of people that have been through this that are survivors of this abuse that watch the channel.
And, um, you know, I haven't had a single one of them tell me, you know, I got molested, but the guy was rich though.
So it doesn't count as much like you're something like that.
shane cashman
So exactly.
tim pool
I think one of the scarier components, uh, Outside of this is there are predators that I won't name, but they do things in just on the other side of the line of the law.
There are individuals who advocate children flee their homes, advocate that children cut contact from their parents.
And they say, what's illegal?
All I'm doing is just saying my opinions.
There are people who go on TikTok, on Instagram, on X, where they post videos encouraging children to basically jump the line of safety.
But they themselves are like, I didn't say anything wrong.
And they're being protected by the media.
And the fascinating thing beyond that, Is when you have people on the right actually point out what you're saying, like there is a widespread problem with this.
You get articles saying it's a conspiracy theory.
They're lying, they're making it up.
And I'm like, it actually sounds substantially worse than these people make it out to be.
shane cashman
I forget what it was on the title on YouTube, but there's a child predator who's speaking in an interview openly about how he used to groom kids.
And the language he uses is just like the people you're talking about on TikTok.
That's right.
Rumors.
Separate from the parents, right?
Finding value in them.
He's stepping in as this surrogate parent, and that's how he gained access to these kids.
And that's the same thing they're promoting on, you know, all those people who promote it on TikTok.
tim pool
This is why there've been a lot of people who are saying that part of the agenda that we see on the left in American politics is grooming because from the narrative of we must protect kids, which is a lie, you end up with laws like, and I think Washington does this in California, where a third party can kidnap a child, bring it to that state for quote unquote treatment, and they cannot be prosecuted for it.
alex rosen
Yeah, no, I think you're absolutely right.
And you asked earlier about smart predators.
The smart ones don't talk sexually and they know the law.
We've definitely caught people where they have not talked sexually and it's been months and months and months of them just not doing it.
But what are they saying?
Well, they're basically saying stuff like, yeah, I want to hang out with you.
Oh, we can just go to the movies and stuff like that.
Or, oh, you know, school hard for you, that type of stuff.
And, you know, like we're not really necessarily posing as like, you know, a boy who's like confused about his sexuality too often.
So it's not really like, you know, Hey, come with me and, you know, chop your thing off.
But it's basically stuff like.
It's basically stuff like, yeah, we'll just hang out, go to the movies, I'll just be like there for you and stuff like that.
And every single one of them want to have sex with the kid.
And that's what I kind of noticed with what you're saying about the people saying to leave their home and that.
Yeah, the laws are very, very narrowly defined.
Like even in Texas, there's not even a law explicitly against sending penis pictures to a minor.
There's not a law explicitly saying you can't do that.
It's meeting up with sex with them.
So we actually had a sex offender we caught in June.
And we were in a city where we have a previous arrest.
The detective wanted to arrest him.
But this was new to me because I thought, you know, if he was sending the dick pics, he already said he wanted to have sex.
He admitted to wanting to kidnap a 10-year-old girl, but not that day.
He wanted to come the next time and go do it.
And she said, yeah, we can't arrest him because he changed the meeting last minute from sex to just hanging out.
I'm like, so even the dick pics?
Even the dick pics?
She's like, yeah, no, there's no law against that.
So yeah, the laws are written.
tim pool
It's Texas, right?
alex rosen
In Texas, yeah.
tim pool
This is why there have been numerous grooming events where the police are like, don't care.
Texas, man, you gotta get on your, where's the legislation?
I mean, Texas should be able to easily pass these laws.
We had in West Virginia recently, you've got Jefferson County, which is the Eastern most part of the Panhandle, and they banned child drag shows and drag shows with children explicitly, it's illegal.
Berkeley County, which is the next county over, no such ban.
And so, you obviously have... These are two counties next to each other.
This is one community.
And people are rather upset about it because this past summer, they did a drag show and brought children up on stage in front of everybody and had them do... I mean, this is... You know, people need to understand this.
I assure you.
The predators that you are talking about, Alex, are the ones encouraging these events, and going to these events, and cheering on these events.
alex rosen
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, these people just put themselves around kids.
I mean, we had a guy in Indiana a couple days ago.
He just goes to the mall and just looks at kids, takes pictures of kids at the mall.
And yeah, absolutely.
There's no really opposition to Basically, anything that normalizes kids being around adults being sexual and provocative, these people will encourage.
Because we've heard so many times, like, yeah, the law is stupid, but I can't be with you because of this age.
I personally don't care.
But yeah, it is absolutely the normalization of it.
I mean, 10 years ago, we wouldn't even be having this conversation about child drag shows.
I mean, I didn't even know that was a thing until, like, recently.
But yeah, I mean, I think Republicans need to get some balls.
I mean, yeah, the Republican Party platform is nice and fine.
I agree with it or whatever.
But I mean, it's just don't be afraid.
The left bends the law all the time to enforce their will on the people who gives, you know, OK, if it's a First Amendment violation to ban child drag shows, let the courts decide that.
But at least take a stand and go do it.
tim pool
And just, you know, it's not a First Amendment violation in West Virginia.
It's actually rather the law is very explicit.
The law literally, there's numerous statutes outlining why what they're doing is illegal.
I gotta be honest, you wanna make an argument over West Virginia, the laws go a little too far.
The laws say that a man and a woman cannot cohabitate if they're not married.
So, okay, like, I don't think we should go and arrest a guy because he lives with his girlfriend or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
shane cashman
I already see the comments saying base to that.
tim pool
But here's the point.
The laws are actually so far in West Virginia, there's no question that when they brought a child onto that stage to do this disgusting adult dancing, that a cop could have walked up and said, the amount of statutes we have in this state that make that illegal, there's so many, I could pick any one of them.
Instead, they do nothing.
alex rosen
Yeah, and that's the thing.
Those same cops would enforce COVID mandates, even though they didn't want to enforce them, I'm sure, but then when it comes to actually doing something they believe in, they're just too scared because they think social media is all real and stuff.
They're just so scared of all the blowback.
I think the right just needs to have more balls, man.
That's really just what it is, and I think not enough people on the right have it.
shane cashman
We're watching the intersection of this progress at all costs mentality from the far left Yeah.
and then these evil urges that you guys are going and capturing, right?
And then those people are taking advantage of that progress at all costs.
And it just keeps showing me this idea of like, I used to think we could have a bipartisan issue of protecting the innocence of children.
alex rosen
You would think.
shane cashman
But the left now has a completely upside down version of what protecting the innocence of children is because it's the people on TikTok.
It's, you know, or parents at these parades being like protecting the innocence of my child is giving them puberty blockers, getting them surgery, promoting this gender, like weird stuff.
tim pool
But now we're in this interesting predicament where it's going two directions.
Some states are saying completely illegal.
Some states are saying like, it is, it is shockingly insane to me that I think, I think it's Washington.
It might be California.
I think California too.
A, a, a, a, a child sex change sanctuary, I think they call it.
And that means that If a predator goes online targeting a child, convinced as a child to run to them, where they then kidnap the child and bring to California, California says you will not be prosecuted.
alex rosen
That's absolutely it.
shane cashman
I mean, Austin might be similar.
I don't know if you know, but they call it the sex change sanctuary as well.
Uh, cause there's a ton that happened there in New York city is like that too.
I remember when my wife was driving through Manhattan, maybe last summer, there was a billboard from a hospital promoting how many sex change surgeries they've done.
tim pool
So let's let, let me, let me, let me ask this question.
What are the possibilities of frame jobs?
alex rosen
Oh, frame jobs?
Oh yeah, where we confront the wrong person, pretty much.
tim pool
Yeah, but like, imagine there's an ex-wife.
And she's like, I want everything.
I want the house, I want the car, I want the alimony, I want the pension.
So, having pictures of her husband, she starts making contact, sending photos of him, tells you where he's gonna be, and then you show up to confront the guy who has no idea what's going on.
alex rosen
Something similar has happened with our boy in Spokane.
So there was a situation like that.
We were posing as the pedo online.
This guy named, I'm just going to call him Darren.
His name is not Darren, but I'm just going to say Darren.
Darren's messaging us and he's like, yeah, I have court right now for molesting a 13 year old boy, but I love him.
And you know, he's like, I trade all this child porn and it's like his picture and all of this type of stuff.
And we're like, oh my God, he's using his real name for all of this.
So we find Darren and we confront him with the messages.
I'm like, hey, you know, I got to talk about these.
And this is the one time out of like hundreds of these that we did where, cause they all say that somebody else doing it at first, they all say they got hacked, but he's like, oh my God, this guy has been effing with me for the past like year now, all of this.
And then his neighbor comes out, it's like an apartment complex.
She's like, what's going on here?
And he's like, it's that guy again.
And she's like, oh no, no, no.
That guy has been screwing with him for a while.
We even have flyers of him around the apartment complex.
I'm like, can I see that?
And she comes out and brings me a flyer of this guy saying, Pete on the lookout.
And basically his story lined up to where he did not send any of these messages.
There was no court case of him and a 13 year old boy.
unidentified
Wow.
alex rosen
However, the guy who was impersonating him actually had a 13 year old boy that kind of came over all the time.
tim pool
And how did you find out?
Oh, you tracked.
So they said, watch out for this guy.
You track him down.
alex rosen
And then Well, no, we haven't found him.
He's like a homeless, like, nomad, pretty much.
And, like, so I was, so I talked to the neighbor separately.
I'm like, hey, look, so Darren's saying this and that.
She's like, yeah, no, it's true.
So that's the one time where somebody was actually trying to frame somebody.
unidentified
Wow.
alex rosen
And, like, obviously that video isn't posted or anything like that.
Poor guy.
But yeah, you know, that could for sure happen, but it's literally a less than 1% chance of it happening.
shane cashman
I feel like if you confronted a person who had been framed, you might know immediately, like what you're saying with that guy.
tim pool
Their behavior would be so out of line.
You'd be like, okay, something's not right here.
shane cashman
There's something so diseased in their brain where you hear them talk, even though they're denying it at first, it's like you know they're already guilty.
I mean, I believe in the due process, but there's something when you're with these people and we're right next to them, looking in their eyes as they're admitting to all this stuff.
There's something completely off.
Like to me, they're just not, they're not human anymore.
There's something, there's no, uh, and there's something, you know, you can talk about too, is like after the last guy I was with, you got taken away in cuffs, which is so such a crazy thing to be standing in his yard.
And where the last thing he sees is he's taken away by the cops and his wife's inside.
And we're just there like with the other cop.
And I'm like, do you believe any of these people could ever be redeemed?
I already felt like, no.
And you didn't think twice.
You're just like, absolutely not.
alex rosen
No, they can't be redeemed.
They're all just liars or scumbags or narcissists.
tim pool
I think the recidivism rate is like 100% or some ridiculous number.
alex rosen
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Because, I mean, like I said, we've caught multiple people multiple times.
I mean, the guy we caught in three separate states, the three times we caught him was all within four months.
And he even hit up the same fake 11-year-old again after he got out of jail the first time.
Same account and everything.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
Okay, well, clarification.
In Canada, at least, the first thing I googled, it's 42%, so substantially less than I thought.
shane cashman
I don't trust Canada, though.
tim pool
I agree.
shane cashman
But for sure, man, I just couldn't think of, like, these people... Okay, so this is another bit of criticism I was receiving from people, is, oh, it's like a disease, like addiction, or it's like abuse, and these people can be fixed.
I'm like, no, they can't.
This is completely different than an addiction to alcohol, which is a very tough thing.
I understand.
Got a lot of that in my family.
Or drugs, or someone who's murdered someone.
I think those people can be redeemed.
I've seen them be brought back to polite society, and they know they have a problem, but This evil urge is a completely separate thing that I don't think these people that were criticizing the story and what you guys do are conflating all that.
This is like, as a parent, if someone told me, oh, that person went to prison and he came back and for, for, you know, being a child predator, like, well, that person doesn't belong anywhere in polite society ever again.
I will never trust that person.
You cannot trust that person.
alex rosen
Well, that's the thing.
Like, you know, there's former alcoholics, there's former gang members, but there's never former pedophiles.
So, I think that's something to think about.
tim pool
So, I was talking to a friend about... I don't know if I should mention the guy.
Oh, we're going to mention the guy.
Reza Aslan.
You guys know who he is?
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
I don't.
He's a big religious scholar personality.
He had a show on CNN where, in one episode, he ate human brain.
And so I actually knew someone who knew him and the conversation came up and I was like, that dude's a cannibal.
And my friend's like, he's not a cannibal.
You can't say that.
And I'm like, he ate human!
And she's like, he ate a piece of human brain for a show in a religious ceremony.
And I'm like, uh-huh.
And a cannibal is a person who eats a person, who eats people.
She's like, yes, but he did it one time.
I'm like, oh, okay, so if you like abused a child one time, it wouldn't count.
No, I'm sorry.
The moment you cross there's, so you can make the argument about, someone asked me then, if you've stolen something from a store one time, are you always a thief?
And it's like, yeah, maybe being a thief because you shoplifted a candy bar is a bit different from eating human or abusing kids.
shane cashman
I'd say so.
Yeah, I mean, if they caught Armie Hammer with brain in his stomach, the outlets would say he's a cannibal.
Once a cannibal, always a cannibal.
tim pool
Absolutely.
shane cashman
Yeah, that's how it works because that's crossing the line.
tim pool
And there are people who argued in defense saying like, I don't think that makes him a cannibal because Their argument was a cannibal is someone who like intentionally engages in the practice of eating person.
And I'm like, he sits down with these religious dudes and he eats brain.
And it's okay, it's a question, was he forced to do it?
And I'm like, I gotta be honest, I don't care.
You're never gonna come to me and say that this is a line where you get absolution.
Like somebody abuses kids, you can say anything you wanna say.
And I'm like, that's child abuse, that's a pedophile.
alex rosen
Yeah, absolutely.
tim pool
But they made me do it.
I don't care, dude!
shane cashman
Reza Aslan eating brain on CNN is such a metaphor for the corporate press.
tim pool
Seriously, if there was ever a circumstance in which... So the argument for this scenario was like, these guys are dangerous, these are religious guys, and if he didn't do it, they could attack him.
And I'm like, so be it.
Someone came to me with a chunk of human meat in any capacity and said, you have to eat this.
Okay, it was like a thin piece of cooked brain.
Like, if someone came to me with that and they were like, do it or else, I'd be like, I'll take the or else.
Like, let's roll, baby.
shane cashman
I just published a story yesterday about being at the Kanye party.
And he, this is a weird segue, but it's, it'll make sense in a second.
Kanye's cover album.
tim pool
He finds his way in.
shane cashman
Kanye's cover, Kanye's not a cannibal.
Kanye's cover album is based on a black metal record from Norway.
And that whole scene is known for the cannibal thing that happened when the one guy took his life with a shotgun and then his friends found and took a picture, used it as their album cover and supposedly ate the brains.
Those guys are considered cannibals.
They ate brain and they made necklaces out of the skull.
tim pool
And that was like a one-time thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You're a cannibal.
shane cashman
They're a cannibal.
They're a cannibal.
So that's how I see it with the cannibalism stuff and with this evil urge, you know?
That's a line you've crossed in morality.
tim pool
Yeah, like, dude, if you were a kid, you're 17, and you stole a candy bar and, like, maybe a stereo or something, we'd call you a thief.
It's 20 years later.
You've changed your ways.
You say, oh, you should never do that.
It's like, OK, we get it.
We get it.
We're not going to call you a thief now.
You're a teenager, and you abuse a child.
It's 20 years later.
You know, you're a child abuser.
alex rosen
Yeah, absolutely.
shane cashman
That's permanent.
This is, uh, I have a lot of friends who are in AA and family and a lot of them also say, you know, once you're an alcoholic, you're always an alcoholic, even if you don't drink.
So there is that as well.

And I know people who have like, we have people come on Timcast IRL.
We have a bunch of fine boozes, fancy booze and scotch and all that.
And I'll say to someone like, do you want anything to drink?
We've got coffee, we've got water, sodas, Spindrift, no sugar in them.
Or we've got booze, they'll say, I can't, I'm an alcoholic.
And I'll say, okay, I cannot drink, I am an alcoholic.
These are people who are, and then they'll say stuff like, I haven't had a drink in 10 years, but I can't do it because I'm an alcoholic.
Even though they have not had a drink in a decade, they still know they have this problem and they'll tell you.
So these people, like, nah, you cross that line, you cross that line.
shane cashman
But then those people can be trusted in polite society.
They've identified an issue that they can handle that's well before that line of morality that, like, these crazy evil issues, like cannibalism or child, you know, harm, abuse, molestation, cross.
tim pool
I've seen these articles, I think it was like Salon had them, I think they deleted them actually, where One of these news outlets, it might have been the New York Times, wrote an article from someone who claims to have been a pedophile, but who has never broken the law or acted on any urges or messaged kids or done anything like that.
And I guess the issue they were writing about is, even though they will freely admit their predilection and they've never broken the law, they are still considered demons.
alex rosen
Yeah, I think so.
And I think there's still a danger to be around kids, but I also don't believe in thought crimes as well.
Like, I mean, if they are truly, truly controlling themselves, like, I don't think they should be thrown in jail or anything.
Like, I think everybody has urges they need to control, not with just kids, but like, you know, I like to say I ate too much chocolate cake to the predators, try to relate to them.
Like, Hey man, you know, I got to stop eating chocolate cake.
It's just something we got to get over.
Right.
But yeah, no.
tim pool
You've actually said that to them?
alex rosen
Yeah, I'm like, hey man, I'm addicted to chocolate cake.
And you know, I compare like their, I compare when they watch child porn, I'm like, oh man, come on, man.
I'd be in the same situation as you.
It's like putting a steak in front of a dog.
I know how it is, man.
I know you're just trying to, you just need some help to control yourself.
shane cashman
He uses weird mental, well, finish your steak.
tim pool
I once ate a whole pizza by myself.
shane cashman
Yeah.
alex rosen
You consume cheese pizza?
shane cashman
Oh, geez.
Here we go.
tim pool
No, it was veggie.
unidentified
Okay, okay.
shane cashman
Maybe you can explain the way, like, I really liked the way you talk about the 9-11 videos with them and how that works.
unidentified
What?
alex rosen
Yeah, we caught a guy who did a CGI.
So we talked about the 9-11.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
No, but basically like, you know, they're like, yeah, I like to look at, you know, teenagers like 13 and up, but, you know, they all say they all try to minimize like, well, yeah, there's some stuff in the groups, but I'm just there for the teens, you know, try to, you know, say that doesn't change it, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, obviously when someone hears like, when they think when someone hears like under 18 but it's teens they'll be less judgmental about like infants and toddlers but like you know when i ask them like look man have you seen the video of 9-11 and they're probably thinking 9 to 11 year old to be honest but i'm like you know where the planes hit the towers allegedly and they're like yeah i've seen a I'm like, well, did you like the video?
Was it pleasant to you?
And they're like, oh, no, no, it wasn't pleasant to me.
And I'm like, look, man, so what I'm asking you about this younger stuff, like infants and toddlers, I'm not saying you're into it.
I've saw that on an 11 video.
I don't like it either.
But, you know, in order to save these kids and to get the real bad guys, we need to talk about what was in these videos.
And then they start describing these infant videos in full length of what they're watching.
And it's like, well, at that point, if you can describe the whole video to me, you watch the video and you're into it.
So that's kind of how to trip them up.
shane cashman
That part of the conversation seems, from what I've seen, seems to be like one of the turning points into getting more of the truth from them.
Because you've somehow unlocked this comfort for them to be open with it, you know, even though we're in public.
Like that one, we were outside of an apartment complex that none of us had anything to do with.
We just told them, this is where you'll meet.
And then I'm waiting at the entrance for the car, him on the phone being like, I think he's here.
And they set it up.
And then this guy just walks in thinking he's going to go into, this is another person going to another 12 year old girl's house because they think the parents are gone.
But all these, most of these conversations are happening just outside around people.
It's, it's so crazy.
tim pool
You know, Matt Walsh was talking, there's a story where a guy tore down the Satanist statue at the Iowa Capitol building.
And my attitude is very much like, I don't think we should criticize the left for violence and vandalism and then cheer on someone doing violence and vandalism towards something that we ideologically would support.
I think we have to be better, better people.
We have to prove why it is that we say you don't tear down a statue by force without the approval.
We have to actually have that vote on it.
But Matt Walsh's position is, he says we will not be paralyzed by principle to allow something as evil as devil worship in our buildings.
And the thing I would say is I don't see the satanism, the satanic temple stuff as actual satanism.
It's more of an insult to Christianity, which is a question about the actual procedure then being, you're not really worshiping a religion.
You're intending to insult someone else based on their religion, which would not be First Amendment protected.
This would actually be discriminatory.
You're not expressing your opinion.
You're actually targeting someone else's religion.
So there's an argument there as to how you can handle this.
But he does make a good point that we cannot be paralyzed based on our principles to actually allow this kind of immoral behavior.
So when you're talking about Texas, and you know that this person has done something egregious and wrong, but these cops are like, well, we can't do anything.
I think that's a problem.
alex rosen
Oh no, no, like the cop, the detective, she's great.
She's 100% with me too.
Like, she's like, she's like, this is really angering me.
Like she, she wants him.
See, they're trying to find like some parole violation to get him on, but like, no, no, no.
She's 100%.
tim pool
I just don't buy it.
Like, you know, first of all, how many, how many times has a cop made something up?
Alright, and I'm not saying they should.
I'm saying, I've been pulled over, and this is back when I'm 19, a cop says, I smell weed, and I laugh, because I don't smoke, I've never smoked, and I was in my work uniform for American Eagle Airlines, American Airlines Regional, and I'm like, my guy.
We get drug tested all the time.
We are moving planes.
We actually attach vehicles to the front of a plane and it's called a push.
You push the plane out to prepare it for takeoff.
Ain't no way anybody in my car, me or anything, smells like pot.
Cop lies!
And he uses that as justification.
We know about... There was a case in New York.
I was live streaming an Occupy Wall Street protest, and a photographer came down, was standing on the sidewalk.
The police grab him for no reason, arrest him, put him in the back of a paddy wagon, bring him to the station, and charge him with obstructing a roadway.
And they lie.
Numerous officers lie on the documents and under oath to lock up a photographer who did nothing.
And then I hear, and then I also add, the technicalities.
The technicalities that cops are willing to go to great lengths to.
Well, you know, you had one foot off the curb, that's in the road, and we told you not to do it, so you did obstruct a roadway.
And you can't even get a single cop in Texas to be like, this breaks any one of these laws.
We can interpret it that way.
They refuse to do it?
I'm sorry, it's an excuse.
These cops are bad people.
alex rosen
I hear what you're saying, and we've definitely had cases like in Pennsylvania, similar to Ohio, where you have to be a real kid or a cop on the other end.
But we've had people convicted in Pennsylvania for texting who they believe to be a minor, and we're the ones posing, because yeah, the DAs and the cops kind of bend the laws to get those predators in jail.
tim pool
I don't even want to say bend the law, right?
We're talking about this with like January 6th, for instance.
So, one of the laws that they're using against all the J6ers is obstruction of an official proceeding.
And the argument from law enforcement is, by storming into the Capitol, or by simply walking in if the cops opened the door for you, that was obstruction, therefore we're charging you.
You've got this one guy who's argued that law was intended for interfering with documentation and procedure not to be interpreted as you had a protest or a riot.
And so the Supreme Court's actually going to take this one up.
My point here is these law enforcement people You can argue they bent the law, or they didn't.
They looked at the statute, it said, otherwise impede a proceeding, and said, that seems to make sense.
It seems to apply.
We'll go for it.
The courts will decide if they're correct.
These cops, like, this is the thing in West Virginia, this is what got me so pissed off.
We've got a building that we bought.
We're building a coffee shop.
They had a drag show with children on stage next to our building.
I am pissed off.
This is adult lewd and lascivious activity that is clearly, clearly defined.
West Virginia law, as I mentioned, already goes a little too far.
A man and a woman who are not married can't cohabitate.
I'm like, oh, come on.
Get this, a man and a woman who are not married can't engage in public displays of affection as it's considered lewd and lascivious.
So you mean to tell me that an adult wearing fake breasts and fake hips doing sex dancing with children on stage doesn't qualify on any of that?
No way!
And the argument they'll make is, well, I mean, no one's really going to arrest two 20-year-olds that are not married.
And that's fine.
That is the discretion of the officer and the district attorney to determine whether or not they could get a conviction under the court of law.
But if you are looking at a statute that says, the definition of lewd behavior in public is like two people not married kissing.
And then you're gonna try and make the argument that an adult wearing strange fetish gear with children is not, for one, the laws around children are even more strict.
Like if you involve kids, now you're in deep trouble.
Yet still, still, They do nothing.
They do nothing.
shane cashman
It shows how strong the left has over the power of the narrative.
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
shane cashman
And like what you're saying about the right being, you know, castrated.
Super castrated on it.
It's like they're afraid of that PR blowback, even though they talk a big talk on Twitter.
But it's changing.
Oh, I think so.
tim pool
And here's the thing I'll throw to Matt Walsh, because I don't agree with someone just deciding amongst themselves an individual to destroy someone else's property that was placed through proper procedure.
But Matt Walsh, I would argue, is the big ask.
This is what Trump talks about in The Art of the Deal, right?
The big ask is, you go to someone and you want to sell a house that's worth $100,000.
The big ask would be, you want to buy my house? $200,000.
That's double what it's worth.
And they're going to say, are you nuts?
unidentified
200?
tim pool
Then you go, okay, okay, fine.
alex rosen
150.
tim pool
Now you've come down.
It looks like they're getting a good deal when actually they're giving 50 grand more.
The big ask in Matt Walsh's position is he's going to advocate for and defend a guy who did this.
And where we end up, we end up with pulling back from the left.
The left is no longer allowed to do it.
The left has been tearing down statues, removing statues.
Matt Walsh engaging in this, you know, equal and opposite reaction could result in everything being pulled back to the middle.
alex rosen
Yeah, and I agree with him on that because, you know, I totally was, like, even a couple years ago, I was totally, like, live and let live.
Like, yeah, well, if somebody wants to just be trans and do drag, Whatever, but now I'm just like, okay this none of this should be ever displayed in public because you know They don't believe in live and let live they don't believe in like, you know If we just say we want to be left alone, that isn't enough now It's like because they're never gonna leave us alone.
They're gonna come for children as we've seen So yeah, I agree with Matt Walsh like who cares like, you know, we can't be principled anymore Like that's why with George Santos like a lot of people pile on him Yeah, George Santos is a scumbag and a liar, but he gets it.
He just blatantly lies and like wins.
tim pool
Did he though?
alex rosen
Did he look like?
shane cashman
We don't know yet.
alex rosen
Blatantly live?
unidentified
We don't know.
shane cashman
There was no trial.
alex rosen
Well, like, for example, like, he's like, oh, I wasn't a drag queen.
He blatantly just was a drag queen.
But was he?
It looked like it.
It looked like it.
tim pool
I can't even say that.
You show me a picture of a drag queen in Brazil who kind of might look like George Santos, and then everyone just assumes it's true.
That's crazy to me.
I'm like, dude, I don't know.
It's a picture of two guys.
I have no idea.
Like, you know, Vivek was on that live stream, and then what happened was, and this so frustrates me, you hear some kind of like light dripping, and then Alex Jones goes, somebody's peeing!
Somebody's peeing!
And the mic's on, and they're like, that's Vivek.
And all of a sudden, every news outlet runs the story, Vivek was urinating on a live stream.
I'm like, that's not what urinating sounds like.
But because Alex Jones said urinating, all of a sudden, that's all that matters.
And I'm like, dude, it sounded like he was making an espresso or something.
alex rosen
I love how- Now the media believes Alex Jones is telling the truth.
unidentified
That's amazing.
shane cashman
That was quick turnaround.
unidentified
He's back, and now CNN's like, he's our fact checker.
tim pool
Yeah, that was a good one.
alex rosen
Most trusted name in news.
tim pool
No, but I love the meme where, You know how the left has the meme, Be Gay, Do Crimes?
shane cashman
No.
No.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
I'm not in those forums.
tim pool
Yeah, they have t-shirts.
It says, Be Gay, Do Crimes, and it's a picture of a duck with a knife in its mouth.
shane cashman
Oh, I miss that.
tim pool
And then, so people post that, and then they post a picture of George Santos, and it's like, the left is cheering for George Santos getting, you know, arrested and removed, and they're like, hold on there a minute.
You said, Be Gay, Do Crimes.
Like, not like that, not like that.
alex rosen
It's a poster boy.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
But he's not been proven guilty of anything.
shane cashman
Right.
tim pool
It's the first, I believe he's the first member of Congress to be removed without actually having been proven to have done anything wrong.
alex rosen
Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised, but that's the thing.
The Republicans, they censure candidates.
I don't even know what censuring is.
tim pool
Slap on the wrist.
It's an insult.
I love though that Santos apparently said, they said he claimed he was Jewish and he goes, no, Jew-ish.
shane cashman
Yes.
alex rosen
I mean, that's amazing.
I guess that's more of what I meant.
Santos just doesn't apologize.
She just kind of rubs it in their face.
We need more of that.
We just need more people like George Santos to just give the finger to everybody.
shane cashman
Are you saying George Santos for president right now?
alex rosen
I would elect George Sanders over any Republican running.
shane cashman
Nice!
Wow.
You heard it here first.
alex rosen
I actually would.
I swear I would.
I swear I would.
tim pool
That's amazing.
Yeah.
So we have this book.
It's called This Book is Gay.
And in it, it explains to children how to use Grindr.
alex rosen
Children!
tim pool
Children!
And so you had this teacher in Illinois, I believe it was Illinois, who was giving the book to kids between the ages of 10 and 12 years old.
The response that we get from the liberals, and I don't mean leftists, I mean liberals.
When I bring this up to Stephen Marsh, who's a journalist and an author, he says, kids can get on the internet, so why not give them the book?
And I'm like, this is very, very indicative of the amorality of the left.
And he said, I don't care about morals at all.
And I'm like, I don't think he knows what morals means.
It's like many liberals assume that moral means arbitrary rule.
That's not what it means.
It means basically like underlying framework for what is beneficial or detrimental to civilization and to human life.
And so when I'm talking about proper morality, I'm saying, we don't give kids these things, and it's not because I just blindly and arbitrarily think kids shouldn't have it, it's because it causes harm that damages people's lives and spreads.
So, you should not give children instruction on how to use apps to meet up with adults, so those adults can prey upon them, but these schools are doing it.
The parents called the police on this teacher.
alex rosen
Good.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
This is the mainstreaming of grooming.
And what happens?
How crazy is it?
James Lindsay had actually gotten suspended on Twitter, when it was Twitter, for using the word groomer.
I got posts removed for saying groomer because the previous owners of Twitter, before Elon came in, you would be banned for calling out child abuse.
That's insane.
So I do think things are turning around and we're starting to win.
But people need to recognize, all the stuff you guys are talking about, with this overt demonic evil where they're targeting kids.
It's a gradient.
It's shades.
It's not just one or zero and one.
It's not black or white.
It's one all the way up to 100.
And what we're talking about with these guys that you guys have tracked down, we're talking about people from 80 to 100 on the scale of evil actions.
But what about the guy who's at 49?
What about the guy who's going online, making videos, advocating for children to separate them, children to leave their families and run away?
Into the arms of predators.
This goes back to like... They say it's not illegal.
shane cashman
...saying about cannibalism and how certain people can define it differently.
There's like a clinical definition they make of it, like what you're saying with Reza.
You're like, oh, well, he just was on TV, did it one time, and they had this whole moral, like this way of loophole logic.
tim pool
He was scared, he was being coerced.
shane cashman
But then bring that logic to these demons and the gradient of the demons, and then you have like the maps, where that's the clinical definition for them to get away with this in the mainstream.
In the news, in bureaucracy, with policies and universities, you know, they're like, oh, it's MAPS.
And then they have this new definition.
tim pool
Teachers telling kids about you.
There was that one viral story.
The teacher said, you're not allowed to say that anymore.
Now, here's the funny thing.
I think the story was a teacher said, you're not allowed to say pedophile.
You have to say MAPS.
And the right took it as defense of pedophiles.
The teacher, I think, was actually insulting the left.
alex rosen
Yeah, she was being sarcastic, and I saw all these right-wing accounts, including someone I'm an acquaintance with online, saying, fire this teacher immediately.
I saw the video, I immediately knew she was being sarcastic.
I'm like, guys, seriously, come on.
tim pool
I don't even know if sarcasm is the right word.
She was basically saying...
She said, you can't say PETA, say MAPS.
The actual interpretation was, because of leftist ideology, they are telling us we are no longer allowed to call them pedophiles.
They are saying we must say MAPS.
That's the intention of what she was trying to convey.
alex rosen
Yeah, of course.
And, you know, and then, of course, the school board ends up firing her.
But actual pedo teachers, they just keep.
And I was like, OK, if El Paso ISD in Texas, the El Paso's tip of Texas, What happened with Big Boobs Teacher?
actually going forward because a teacher doing something inappropriate sexually with kids, then obviously there's more to it than what it seems.
They saw an opportunity, I think, to get a right-wing teacher out of there under the guise of like, we're protecting children.
tim pool
What ever happened with Big Boob's teacher?
You remember that?
shane cashman
Was he trolling?
alex rosen
He had to have been.
shane cashman
I thought that was trolling.
I still think it's inappropriate to be like that to the kids.
But I think he was trolling.
tim pool
I don't know whether or not... Yeah, the rumor was that he was actually just like a normal, you know, guy who did shop.
And then they were threatening him with like, you have to do all this DEI stuff or, you know, or else.
So then one day he shows up with big fake boobs like, now you can't fire me.
alex rosen
Well, is a shop teacher actually going to be a leftist?
Probably not.
I mean, he's teaching shop.
So, no, I think that was a hilarious troll job.
I know if I was in high school, I'd be laughing.
I'd be laughing so hard at that stuff.
But I think that's what we need.
We just need to make a mockery of the left.
And that's the thing.
Like you were talking about someone saying, I don't care about morals earlier.
I'm glad he actually admitted that.
But that's the thing.
Like, you can't just call leftists hypocrites.
They don't care.
They just really don't care.
tim pool
Well, this is a really great issue.
When he said that to me, I'm like, this is something I've argued quite a bit.
They have no moral framework.
alex rosen
They don't.
tim pool
We, we, so, I mean, everyone's always trying to define what the culture war is.
It's left, right, authoritarian, libertarian, and I'm, and I've often said I think it's, uh, uh, the Judeo-Christian moral framework, traditional American values, versus Lack thereof?
No moral framework at all.
They operate under the tenet of there is no truth but power.
We all operate under the how do we be good stewards of the earth and good to each other to make life better.
They operate under the how do I get what I want for my emotional satisfaction.
shane cashman
I see that because on the so-called right, and that's really amorphous, but there's a moral center people are trying to maintain.
And on the so-called left, their morality is fixed to a weather vane.
So what they believe yesterday could be different tomorrow.
So when the journalist is telling you he's talking about morality, his morality is a vague, That's amorphous.
tim pool
Oh, the Harvard-MIT U-Penn scandal is the perfect example of this.
These are people who at their university say, no fat shaming, you have to use proper pronouns, all that stuff.
And then when asked, what about if someone calls for the genocide of Jews, they go, well, I mean, the Constitution says, yeah, okay, we get it.
They are trying to manipulate the system To say, oh, free hate speech isn't free speech.
And then you're like, OK, what about this hate speech?
No, that one is free speech.
alex rosen
Yeah, it's like it's like, you know, I'm going to say Ben Shapiro here because I think it's the most blatant example.
It's like, well, you know, guys, and Israel actually to the left here.
You know, actually, gay marriage is all allowed in Israel.
And it's like, we're super liberal values.
You know that, right?
They don't give a crap about that.
They only care about that when it's convenient for them.
They just pick a side and go.
So, you know, I have my opinions on Israel-Palestine.
I don't really care about either of them.
But that's the thing.
You can't appeal to the left by saying, oh, you know, actually, we are very accepting of this more than your side, right?
And you're like, oh, you're the real racist.
They don't care about that.
They really don't.
shane cashman
This blatant hypocrisy should have been very Open to everybody in 2020.
You know, like we just had a summer of violence, riots, politicians, uh, like Maxine Waters saying, go out and get in their faces.
We had that one mayor.
Like I always consider it like his like weird BLM baptism at the fire at the courthouse where he's outside, like washing in the smoke in praise of it.
And then J six happens.
And then it's like, it's Pearl Harbor.
It's nine 11.
Like, you guys just spent a summer burning the cities down.
tim pool
30 plus people died in the mass riots across this country, the worst riots we've seen in 50 years.
And then you get, what was it, a total of like 800 to 1,000 people at the Capitol, of which only a couple hundred were involved in the actual riots.
And they said, this is the greatest threat to our democracy.
shane cashman
And don't let them tell you that any police officers died there, because most of them had heart attacks.
tim pool
You know, the New York Times still has a story of claiming a cop was killed.
To this day, despite the fact we know for a fact it's not true.
shane cashman
Said he was killed there?
tim pool
Yep.
alex rosen
Yeah, and it's like, you know how the left wants to cancel people for saying jokes or, you know, saying mean words like the N-word or something?
Okay, Joseph Rosenbaum was a five-time convicted pedophile who was just saying the N-word all night in Kenosha, yet they suddenly care when he dies.
tim pool
But also threatened multiple times to kill Kyle Rittenhouse.
alex rosen
Right.
tim pool
And when he attacked, Kyle ran away, and it was only after another guy opened fire did Kyle turn around Thinking he was about to die.
And they defend this guy.
And I'm like, you know what, man?
unidentified
Look.
tim pool
A guy who has served his time or done whatever and is saying nasty things does not deserve death, okay?
However, when you threaten to kill someone, attack them, chase them, and try to grab their weapon, and then someone who's with your group opens, shoots, fires a gun.
This is what happens.
They don't care.
You look at the Ahmed Arbery case.
This is fascinating.
I have Cenk Uygur on The Culture War a couple weeks ago.
I bring this up and he goes, you're talking about the guy who was jogging and got killed.
That never happened.
I'm like, did you even watch the court case?
No one in the court case, the prosecution, the defense, nobody ever mentioned anything about jogging.
In fact, the prosecutors were like, yes, he was a felony burglary suspect.
But the law says in order to make the arrest, you have to witness the crime.
And so the judge left it up for interpretation.
The real case there is, yes, Ahmaud Arbery was a felony burglary suspect who was witnessed burglarizing a home, but the the McMichaels who chased him down did not directly witness it themselves.
Therefore, they did not have the law on their side.
But these people will just lie, cheat, and steal.
They don't care.
alex rosen
Yeah, he was running in the Nike Air work boots, pretty much.
Apparently.
tim pool
I mean, I know people go jogging in work boots with camo and, you know, have hammers in their pockets, but... The wild thing is that when I say, look, I don't care who you think should go to jail or whether Ahmaud Arbery should have been shot or shouldn't have been.
Like, we make all those arguments.
I'm talking about facts.
The facts are X, Y, and Z. And Cenk loses it and says, oh, you're so racist, so racist.
Oh, he was jogging, he was jogging.
I'm like, none of that is true.
These people will lie.
They will say whatever they have to say to get power.
And they actively defend child abusers because it's part of their cult.
It's the craziest thing.
But you know what?
I gotta tell you.
I was talking to a friend of mine.
We were all having dinner and my friend's friend is from the Netherlands.
And we were talking about why it was that Geert Wilders in the Netherlands won.
His party wins.
He's on track to be prime minister.
And she said, oh, it's because of the LGBT stuff.
And this woman is also LGBT.
And I was like, really?
And she's like, oh, it's everywhere.
And everyone just says, stop, stop.
We don't want this, stop.
But they won't, they keep doing it.
And I'm like, that's fascinating coming from someone who actually is LGBT.
And she's like, Let me just live my life.
That's what we wanted, but now you've got these other people who are not even LGBT, who are putting the signs everywhere, putting rainbows everywhere, people in government doing all this stuff, and then you get the weird stuff like in Santa Monica where those two guys were engaging in a sex act with each other in public at the Pride event.
alex rosen
Yeah, no, absolutely.
And I think a lot of gay people seem to be more vocal about like, hey, we don't like this stuff.
Because I truly wasn't the camp of just live and let live.
But it's, yeah, like you said, it's just everywhere now.
But yeah, I mean, and as for like the child abuse stuff, I mean, you know, I bring up politics a lot on my channel too.
And I'm like, hey, look, this guy's walking free because this Democrat prosecutor, and Republican prosecutors too, but it's mainly Democrats don't want to prosecute this guy.
They're just not taking the evidence.
But then they're like, oh, don't make this political, don't make this political.
So we have a lot of leftists that watch the channel.
It's mostly right-wingers, but we have a good portion of leftists and big supporters of ours too.
But they just don't seem to make the connection sometimes that like, hey, because of politics, this guy is walking free.
Like we need to come together on this.
shane cashman
It's interesting how politics has poisoned everything.
And even people's perception of what you do.
Because a lot of people were hitting me up like, how many Democrats did you catch?
alex rosen
I don't think a single one that day.
Not a single one that day.
shane cashman
They were all people we could have agreed with on a lot of things.
alex rosen
Oh yeah.
shane cashman
You know?
A lot of things.
tim pool
Are they just politically neutral?
Like they're not really political people?
shane cashman
I would say a few of them were probably a little more Republican.
alex rosen
Fireman was definitely based.
shane cashman
He had a We the People tattoo.
alex rosen
Yeah.
tim pool
Wow.
shane cashman
And the other guy was talking about- I wouldn't call him based.
Yeah, no, no.
And the other guy talked about like COVID and a lot of stuff like that.
So there's things that, you know, people were like, oh, it's all Democrats.
But that's what I was saying earlier.
It's easy for people to silo off all this evil.
Oh, it's the left doing it.
It's the Catholic church.
It's this.
It's so terrifyingly prevalent, you know?
And I was just with you guys for two days.
And I, you know, we didn't see all the people that you had in mind because we were maybe spending too much time with one person waiting for the cops here.
And there's, I mean, yesterday, did you get four people?
alex rosen
Only got two, only got two.
shane cashman
But still two people in a day.
One is too much, right?
And you have a list where you could possibly get four in a day.
What's your record for a day?
alex rosen
Three.
shane cashman
That's crazy.
alex rosen
Three across two separate states.
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing, like, I think partisanship when it comes to pedophiles getting arrested should be the last thing on people's minds.
Like, you know, we catch a lot of predators, I ask if they're vaccinated, and a lot of them are like, oh, I didn't take the vaccine.
We like to say, oh, based pred, based pred, but like, you know, I never Yeah, I know, I know, but like, I like to shoot it with them, like, yeah, man, I don't trust that vaccine, or yeah, I want Trump too.
But then we catch a Democrat Pred, like the latest video we dropped on Rumble, Predator Poachers on Rumble, we caught an engineer who works for, well, I'm just going to say we caught an engineer, you know, I don't want to put him on blast until he gets convicted, but we caught an engineer and he was a Democrat.
And, you know, I was like, you know, I had to muster these words.
I was like, yeah, AOC is really smart.
We just bond with him about that because politics is so emotional now that it's just such an easy thing to bond with.
Like, yeah, we like Trump, let's talk about this.
tim pool
I think it actually makes sense that a larger percentage of the people you would end up catching are going to be more right-leaning.
Absolutely.
Because the left has been rather smart about how they're engaging in the targeted abuse of children.
They're putting books in these schools.
They're in areas where they're getting laws to protect themselves.
What was the law in California?
That if a man engages in adult activities with a minor, like, there's not, like, it's, what was it?
alex rosen
Yeah, SB 145.
So basically, so, okay, you're in Texas or West Virginia or Maryland.
Okay, a 24-year-old has sex with a 14-year-old, he gets caught, sex offender registry at least, right?
But in California now, with that 10-year age difference from 14 on up, it's now up to the judge's discretion.
So a judge can look at this 24-year-old who just had sex with a 14-year-old and be like, I'm going to give you probation, but no sex offender registry.
When it used to be a requirement, they had to be on the registry.
tim pool
So this is what, so now what's happening is you'll find in, this is like California, It's not a crime anymore.
So the crime stats will go down.
Why?
They made it legal.
Or I should say they lightened the load on the criminal element.
shane cashman
Isn't this the same state that made it no longer a felony to knowingly give someone AIDS?
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
I mean, it's crazy.
This is all the death of language.
What I'm saying with the clinical defining of things, right?
You take something barbaric, they redefine it, make it clinical and kind of decriminalize it.
unidentified
And the crazy thing is it's only for gay men.
alex rosen
Yeah.
tim pool
Like this SB 145 is specifically about adult gay men raping children.
alex rosen
Yes.
tim pool
And then it's like, well, but this law is going to make sure they're not going to be considered sex offenders.
alex rosen
Oh, yeah.
Because apparently, apparently, I guess Scott Wiener's interpretation of it was like, well, his excuse, it's not an interpretation, it's an excuse.
His excuse was like, well, gays don't get the same treatment on the registry as straight people do.
So how about instead of making it more lenient for gays, just make it harsher for everybody else?
tim pool
I was saying this the other day, like, the left uses this argument of, if it's allowed for one group, it should be allowed for all groups, instead of, if it's allowed for one group, it should be banned for that group the same as everybody else.
alex rosen
Yes, absolutely.
tim pool
So we were talking about, like, women going topless in New York, for instance.
Ian Crossland asked about Free the Nipple.
And this is a movement where women are basically saying, men don't have to wear shirts, why should we?
And I'm like, We can throw that, we can invert that.
Women have to wear shirts, why don't men?
So instead of arguing that everyone can take their shirt off, just say, men, you can't show your nipples either.
I'm not saying that should be the case.
I'm saying, how come the argument only ever goes in the direction of debauchery?
shane cashman
I'm into locking up all the nipples.
Lock the nipple?
No nipples.
That's where I'm at.
unidentified
Well, it's the same.
alex rosen
That's how I think with everything, though, because, you know, when they when they think of when they see someone like Elon Musk, no matter what you think of him on whose side he's on or whatever, he's obviously a very successful dude.
And rather than like, say, wow, I want to be like Elon Musk, I want to work hard and, you know, try to make a good living for myself.
They're like, let's just take all of his money and just redistribute it to us.
So it's always about tearing things down and regressing in the name of progress rather than just, you know, elevating.
shane cashman
It's whenever there's anything in the way of their power.
alex rosen
Yeah, absolutely.
shane cashman
And Elon has become a disruptor, like Trump.
And there's a gang of really big disruptors right now.
And yeah, they don't care about setting the example on their side to work hard.
They care about destroying the power, taking that power, and turning it on everyone else.
And that's where we're at.
alex rosen
That's why we can't just say, live and let live anymore, unfortunately.
shane cashman
I know, I know.
No, we are well past that.
It's crazy.
Thinking about, I have two young kids.
You can't live like that.
And especially if you know how prevalent this type of evil is, but just in general, just them being exposed to any really bad idea, you know, you have to be on top of all of that because those ideas will poison your community.
You know, there's a lot of them.
It's not just that that's the worst of what you guys are doing, but in general, just like the lack of morals, promoting actually immorality, you know, I, we gotta be very vigilant on how that is in your community and getting into your, you know, your home and your kids.
alex rosen
Oh, I mean, it's not just the pedophilia, like you said.
I have two younger brothers.
One of them is 22, and the other one is 20.
The 20-year-old, he also owns a business like I do, and he does pretty dang well for himself.
I mean, he's farther along at 20 than I was, that's for sure.
And he employs a couple people, and he does t-shirts and all that.
But my middle brother, he's the only one of us to go... Well, I was a college dropout after a year and a half, and my younger brother didn't go to college.
But he's the only one to go to college, a middle brother.
You know, yeah.
I mean, he's the least hardworking out of all of us.
He doesn't have any ambition.
And you know, I mean, I even offered him like, Hey man, I mean, create some reels for me.
I'll pay you.
shane cashman
Right.
alex rosen
He doesn't want to do it.
And like, you know, it's weird.
shane cashman
I'm sitting across from two high school dropout and a college dropout who are very successful.
Have your own businesses.
And I hear a lot from people who have businesses and hiring college educated.
I'm putting that in quotes and they're like, they're like some of the worst.
tim pool
Bill Gates is a dropout.
shane cashman
Yeah.
He's evil, but yeah.
Dropout.
Yup.
tim pool
And Steve Jobs was a dropout.
shane cashman
Yep, yep.
I think you learn just real-life experience, you know?
unidentified
Oh, it's priceless.
shane cashman
I went to college and it's a regret.
I'm in debt from it.
I wish I wasn't.
I learned way more having just all my normal jobs.
All the part-time jobs, all the full-time jobs, all the driving I was doing, sleeping in cars, squatting at some apartments for a while.
That's where all my knowledge came from.
tim pool
A friend of mine was going to school for music business.
Third year of college.
And so we're hanging out and I'm like talking about it and I was like, oh, cool.
So like, what are you working on?
And she's just, you know, oh, I'm just working on a paper for music business stuff.
And I was like, you're not doing any actual music business stuff?
She's like, no, I am.
It's just like for school.
And I was like, no, but I mean, like you doing any shows?
She's like, no.
And I'm like, no, like you're not doing them now or like what?
She's like, no, I've never done a show.
And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait I didn't go to college at all, and I've already had four or five.
You mean I've done more music business than you, working on your degree?
alex rosen
Yeah, absolutely.
It's the same thing.
My middle brother's doing editing and photography and stuff.
The best education you can get is real life, just working for me.
I'll pay you more than I usually pay people to do my Instagram reels.
And he's like, well, in the grand scheme of things, it's not really going to matter if I do it 30 years from now.
I'm like, you don't know that somebody could look at that and boom, you make a connection here, network there.
Like at 19 years old, when I was just willy nilly getting people in Walmart, I didn't think I'd be on Tim Pool's show four years later, but connections happen and you know, you just got to go out and do things.
And I think a lot of people are scared and they're, you know, they want to stay in that tunnel vision of just not doing shit.
shane cashman
Taking risks will give you the best reward.
It might take a while, but you gotta really be out in the real world.
Like I said, everything I learned and what got me here is all the freelancing I was doing, reaching out to different editors, being like, I want to be sent to this place, and I'll just go live in the woods forever.
You know, a few days following some crazy person, you know, and that's where I learned everything, you know, doing the story.
We're actually writing stories, all this stuff where you're like, the colleges are promoting where it's like, you just do the paperwork and learn.
Those people are ripe for inheriting the metaverse.
That's a very easy transition into the fake world.
You know, the other people who didn't go to school and it's not everyone who goes to school, but it seems to be the majority of people.
Uh, they're going to feel safest in the digital world, you know?
And then, and then I was home for Thanksgiving up in New York and talking to a lot of friends who are still teachers in colleges or high schools and middle schools.
And they're like, on top of all those problems, they're like, these kids are also stunted emotionally and mentally by years because of lockdowns.
And a lot of those people I was talking to promoted those lockdowns, but now they're seeing what's going on.
Like the consequences of those kids being home, zoom, all those things, you know, the lack of social exposure.
It's crazy.
tim pool
Many of these kids.
When they're at, when they're 30, their IQ will be 90.
alex rosen
Yeah, I don't doubt it.
tim pool
They're going to be well below average and capable of functioning well.
shane cashman
Their entire life will be like how a lot of people are where they have to rely on Google Maps to get anywhere.
But, like, extend that lack of knowledge to a life, right?
And then they will rely heavily on all of the internet to know anything.
tim pool
But it actually is really terrifying how we're basically there right now.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
Like, can any average teenager right now find North without the use of a tool?
shane cashman
What's North?
alex rosen
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Some of them, yeah.
I think the average kid might know what North is, but if we went outside and said, how do you find North?
They'd probably say, I don't know.
alex rosen
The Kanye West kid, what?
tim pool
Which direction does the sun rise from?
I don't know.
shane cashman
Yeah, they don't teach astronomy like that anymore.
We had our kids, even in New York, we found a school that was outside based, and they would learn astronomy.
the sun you know how to orientate yourself in in the woods if you're lost like i like those things i like driving around my kids and they're young but already i'm like you got to memorize remember these trees these signs like if anything ever happens you got to be able to find your way around you can't just be relying on me oh absolutely isn't it crazy like when i was a kid and uh you probably never experienced this i remember when map quest came out i
tim pool
I remember when you would go on MapQuest, you would type in your destination and your location, and then print out a bunch of sheets, and you're driving, okay, your next one's gonna be left here.
Now the car just says, turn right here.
You just do.
Or crazier, the car does it itself.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
So like in Tesla right now, I just say, I wanna go to the movies, go, and the car drives.
shane cashman
I was a singer in a death metal band for 10 years, and when we toured, it was MapQuest years.
And we had a binder to get through half the country just with MapQuest.
And that's a lot of driving.
Imagine doing what you do right now with MapQuest.
tim pool
And before that, it was just looking at a map.
And you're like, okay, we're going to have to get off here.
And then the trope of ask for directions.
I don't need to ask for directions.
That doesn't exist anymore.
We're becoming more and more dependent.
It's like WALL-E, you know?
We're gonna end up in a future where no one can do anything, and the power goes out and they're gonna go, and then you just starve to death.
Water doesn't work, they die.
alex rosen
It's literally if people as long as it like that and that's why like I think stuff has to get a lot worse before it gets better.
I know it's been said before, but like as long as people have especially people my age, have their pornography in video games, I think they just don't care.
And that's the vibe I'm getting.
So like, I look at the people my age around me, I'm like, well, it's going to be easy.
I'm going to be like in the top 1% here of people my age, but like, I'm not, not because I'm good or special just because everybody else is so stunted.
But I mean, me and my little brother, we did a video, not even a, it wasn't a predator video.
We just went to the mall in Houston, like 15 minutes from our house.
And we asked people what's six times seven, the amount of, Oh God.
Oh my God.
Oh, I don't know.
Or ask people, Hey, who fought in the civil war?
Uh, England?
Like, it's very real and it's scary.
tim pool
My favorite is like, there's a video where he's like, a guy's in Times Square and he goes, name a country that starts with the letter U. And they go, uh, one, one woman goes, Utah.
And then one was like, I don't know.
And he goes, how about the United States?
unidentified
Oh, wow.
alex rosen
Yeah, these people shouldn't vote at all.
tim pool
I do like watching those videos more so because I can answer all the questions.
It's like watching a trivia game.
The guy will be like, you know, who was the, you know, I don't know, which president was shot and killed?
And you're like, oh, I know this one.
You know, how many years after JFK- I'm sorry, how many years after Abraham Lincoln was shot was JFK shot?
shane cashman
Do you know the answer to this one?
Was it like 90 or 100?
100.
tim pool
Yeah, I think it was 100 years.
But I know this because there's this internet conspiracy thing about- The dates that line up.
Yeah, and then like the circumstances and all the weird stuff that happened.
Maybe- All of history is on a 100 year loop.
shane cashman
The simulation you're saying?
tim pool
Yeah, right.
That's why we had a pandemic, 2020.
And then you had a pandemic in 19, like 100 years before.
So what, 20 more years until this or, you know, 40 more years until the full civil war.
shane cashman
This is how you plug into being a prophet.
tim pool
You know, this is a funny thing.
Like in the 1820s, there was talk that the U.S.
was going to fall into civil war.
There was fear.
And it took until the 1860s for it to actually happen.
shane cashman
Yeah.
alex rosen
Well, what do you guys think about, like, Freemasons potentially orchestrating all of this?
shane cashman
Well, I don't believe I don't know, but I don't I don't know much about Freemasons, honestly.
But other than, you know, people like to point out just the layout of D.C.
and I mean, they're in a lot of power and all the I don't know all the presidents, but a lot of the presidents were Mason.
So I don't know.
tim pool
No, I think I think there's a whole bunch of different competing factions.
- Sure, oh, definitely, definitely. - Yeah, and that's why Trump wins the presidency in 2016.
Everyone, you know, the people who believe there's this grand conspiracy of powerful government elites who control everything, no, they're powerful.
shane cashman
They get their agenda sometimes, and then Trump won and they lost their minds. - Yeah, I had a friend who was a Mason for a little bit, and he got out and he was telling me, he's like, there's Masons, there are dark Masons and light Masons.
I don't know if that's anything he got.
tim pool
You might as well just say there's good people and bad people and whether they're Mason or not is not material.
shane cashman
And that's why he left though.
Because yeah, reality is like that.
But he thought he'd belong to something for businesses, you know, be something for community.
And what he found, he's like, not everyone there, but there were certain people in there who was like, it's just wrong.
You know, I don't want nothing to do with it.
But yeah, I just, that's something I never, a rabbit hole I never gone down.
You're anti-Mason.
alex rosen
Absolutely.
I just got, well, you know, and this could be just confirmation bias because, you know, everybody can get into rabbit holes on Twitter or whatnot, but just the amount of 33s that pop up in all these catastrophic events.
It's really, it's very weird to me.
I mean, you know, we got, we got a firefighter in Virginia convicted.
He didn't get 33 years just because of our evidence.
They arrested him on our evidence and they found a bunch of other crap on him.
shane cashman
Right.
alex rosen
But you know, a lot of firefighters are Freemasons.
And if you can just look at this video on rumble predator poachers Williamsburg, Virginia, and he, This guy got 33 years.
I mean, it's just very coincidental.
unidentified
No, I know.
shane cashman
The synchronicities are crazy.
alex rosen
Yeah, a lot of synchronicities.
shane cashman
You could attach that to any type of meaning, and that's for sure.
But you could also say, like, those people belong to those type of groups, those secret societies, as a way to ingratiate themselves in their societies, you know, in their communities, to make it look like they're, you know, like everyone else.
But you could also interpret it being like they're all bad, or a lot of them are bad, you know?
Yeah.
That one video I was watching where they're trying to identify a predator, which I still think is bogus because you can't identify.
You can't just look in the world and be like, that person, you know?
They all do try to blend in.
Like serial killers, you know?
You look at like Ted Bundy, for instance.
They're not all like this either, but a Ted Bundy is a good example.
Or an Ed Kemper.
Even though Kemper went to jail for crimes, murder as a young kid and got out, they are really good at ingratiating themselves in their community.
Kemper was friends with the police.
Kemper did a lot of horrible things.
I mean, go look it up.
We don't have to detail those things because it's wild.
But let's just say he had a head in his trunk when he went to his probation officer, who on that very day said, gave him a very glowing review of how he was doing while there's a head in the trunk.
And when he finished what he had to do as a killer, because he felt like he was healed after he killed his mom, he went and called the cops from the payphone and they all laughed because they're like, Ed, that's hilarious.
Why, Ed?
Come on.
And he's like, no, no, no.
Like, go look.
And it was him, you know?
And he's the guy the FBI went to to help profile other serial killers.
I mean, genius level on other stuff, but Ted Bundy too.
Those guys are just, they know they have to ingratiate themselves into a community to operate openly.
Or the guy, you know, I wrote about the Long Island serial killer.
That guy was an architect.
He did like American Airlines, Taco Bell firms, I believe, if you know, he had a major firm and he was, as far as we know, he hasn't been convicted yet, but he's been in jail this whole time.
He's, uh, he's been operating for decades.
So again, there's a scale of the genius to dumb level of these, all these like really violent, heinous demons.
But, uh, a lot of them do just enter these communities and they know like how to play the game to go undetected for so long.
alex rosen
Oh yeah, like right now we're talking to, and by the time this drops, so I mean I'm hoping he's arrested by then because we're supposed to get him tomorrow, we're talking to a soccer coach who's 72 years old and he's been coaching 10 to 15 year old girls for 20 years and he's been coaching 10 to 15 year old girls for 20 years and we understand him, he's texting who he thinks is a 13 year old, we understand him to be into girls as young as five years old and
We'll see how it goes tomorrow, I hope it ends in an arrest, but yeah, I mean, nobody suspects anything apparently.
shane cashman
Right.
Dude, after that story dropped, I got inundated with messages from people I know, people I don't know, saying how it resonated with them because they have some type of story.
Not that they were abused or anything, but something in their neighborhood.
happened where it's like shocking someone that the whole neighborhood loved you know the guy who like you're saying the coach or a teacher someone like just beloved in the community all of a sudden the cops take away and no one knows why and then the news comes out and they're like are you serious and it's like not only is what he done totally evil and shocking then everyone else is shocked that they couldn't even identify it yeah he He'd been around the kids, he'd been to the birthday parties, stuff like that.
I knew going with you guys that this is prevalent.
We know, we read it all the time.
It's everywhere.
It's not shocking, but I still was somehow shocked that it's even more prevalent than I even imagined.
That, that is something I'll never shake.
And I hope, you know, people watch your stuff and read the story, walk away from everything you guys do being like, we just can't, um, be lazy with our kids in our community.
You know, I don't know how you can identify these people.
Uh, unfortunately there's not like some, I wish I was like a black light.
We can put up their faces and see their reptile eyes or something.
But, uh, you know, you have to be vigilant.
You can't let, you can't let the, um, internet step in as a surrogate parent for your kids, which a lot of people do.
alex rosen
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
You know, my theory still, and you know, when I have kids here, probably hopefully in the next couple of years, um, you know, I, I'm literally just gonna hand them a football and a basketball and just say, go play because yeah, I mean, there's nothing foolproof cause I, you know, I just talked about a soccer coach, right?
And then my sports ball, but still, I mean, it's risk risk reward.
I mean, they're less likely to be screwed with by a predator, you know, tackling somebody as opposed to like being online all day.
So I, I am, despite me using technology for my job, I'm still very anti technology.
shane cashman
So, But I also love it for many reasons, for so many reasons.
But like, the other thing I realized is listening to this one interview with that predator who was saying how he would groom kids.
Something I realized that's really important for parents to do, something my wife and I do, is you got to make sure your kids are very comfortable communicating with you everything.
You gotta be able to, they have to know how to communicate and not be afraid of communicating, right?
Like there's nothing that will happen to my kids, but they won't tell me.
It's just, we communicate since day one, right?
And a lot of parents, there's like a weird distance between them and their kids.
They're not communicating.
You have to communicate.
You have to let that channel be open.
Uh, you don't want to be their best friend either.
It's because you still want to be authority.
I'm like raising kids.
I want to be anti-authority, but they also need to respect my authority.
It's a really tough dance to do, but, um, but also be super communicative, you know, what's going on in their lives.
alex rosen
Yeah, that's how my parents were.
I mean, I think over the years, I've only had one online predator hit me up, like in seventh grade.
And like, and that's how, that's how common it is.
I was like in a group chat with strangers that I thought were my age.
And then this random, like lady, this random, like a girl in the group, just messaging me individually.
She's like, show me your dick.
shane cashman
Wow.
alex rosen
And I'm like, well, I can't even see it myself.
I was a fat little kid, but like, you know, but I was like, I was like, I was like, word.
I was like, I told, I told the group leader, I was like, Oh, is it, do you know what this is?
Who is this person?
He's like, I don't know.
I don't know.
But yeah, I mean, it's that easy.
And you know, my little brother, okay.
No, no, no, no.
My little brother, um, my, the youngest one, he had a, he, there's a story where he was on Snapchat when he was 13 texting who he thought was a 13 year old.
And it's a girl and she convinces him to send a dick pic and turns out, I mean, it was probably not a girl.
tim pool
There was a story of this teenage boy got tricked into producing a video for hackers, blackmailers.
They then immediately turned around and said, give us your parents' credit card information or we're going to post the video to everywhere.
And then he killed himself.
alex rosen
Yep.
I heard about that and they don't only do that to kids too, they do that to grown- they do that to every- like it's called like the kind of like the they call it the broken window scam where basically they're like oh now we have this on you do this but I would say to anybody in that situation like one of my friends you know Kobe he actually paid and like um if y'all could blur his name out when I say that but um Yeah, I mean, they will always find their next victim.
Like, if you're not giving in to them, they're going to find somebody else because time is money for these people.
So just keep wasting their time.
They'll pick somebody else.
tim pool
Well, that's the funny thing about the Nigerian email scam.
People always make fun of them because the grammar is really bad.
alex rosen
Right.
tim pool
But that's intentional.
The scammers know that if they send an email where everything's grammatically correct, they're going to end up pulling in smart people who will waste their time.
They want to make sure the only responses they get are from the stupidest people imaginable, so they intentionally put weird errors in it.
So it's stupid.
People go, Oh, and they file.
shane cashman
They will soon have an easier time targeting smarter people with AI.
Oh yeah.
Voices, you know, people, they could take any voice they want and turn it into a real person.
Like I have a, this isn't AI related, but you know, it's a story of my, uh, a great aunt.
She's like in her nineties, but it was, she probably in her seventies when this happened, someone called pretending to be her son.
Her son's had a lot of criminal issues and has been in jail most of his life.
And she believed it was him from jail.
And she sent 600 bucks.
You know, it didn't sound like it, so I didn't know any better.
tim pool
Yep.
It's the weirdest thing.
There's a scam where they will find, through the internet, an older guy, maybe in his 60s, who has a daughter, who's in her 30s.
Then they'll get a woman to call him and say, I'm stranded at the airport.
My ticket got canceled.
I need a couple hundred bucks.
Can you wire it here?
Send it here?
Somehow they fall for it.
shane cashman
Dude, just wait for deepfakes, too.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
shane cashman
The AI, the deepfakes in the future, all the scams are going to get far worse.
tim pool
Someone... Actually, I probably shouldn't say too much about this, because it might be a serious criminal story.
So actually, I'm gonna stop myself before I get into it.
shane cashman
I think we're gonna see some real ones.
tim pool
But we've had an encounter with deepfake manipulation, and I think it actually falls into federal felony territory.
alex rosen
Like who tried to mess with you guys?
tim pool
I can't talk about it.
Okay.
I was gonna get into it, then I just realized it relates to... There's other victims, so I can't...
shane cashman
Yeah, I think it's gonna be bad.
I mean, I joke around about Joe Biden being a deepfake all the time.
I think... He's a deepfake?
He's a clone or a deepfake.
It depends where he is at the time.
You know, sometimes he's a deepfake, sometimes he's a clone.
Sometimes, you know, who knows.
tim pool
Bye, Dan.
alex rosen
My favorite Joe Biden is the one who has, like, the tape on his ear, on that candy image.
I've seen it, dude.
What's your favorite Joe Biden?
shane cashman
My favorite Joe Biden is when his hand went through the boom mic.
unidentified
What?
shane cashman
Remember the video?
alex rosen
Oh yes, yes, yes.
shane cashman
He's out on the lawn and his hand was pointing up.
And then like journalists made that video to be like, oh, it's just an optical illusion, dude.
His hand went straight up through the boom mic.
That's the old clone version, by the way.
While we're waiting.
Look at that walk.
alex rosen
I mean, this is an animatronic version.
tim pool
- Oh, I just pulled it in.
unidentified
- Oh yeah, this is it, this is it. - President Biden travel to Chester, Pennsylvania today.
- This is, yeah. - Before departing the White House, he took questions from reporters.
shane cashman
- That's the old clone version, by the way.
While we're waiting.
Look at that walk.
I mean, this is an animatronic version.
unidentified
- You wanna pull it up?
All right, oh, dang.
Watch, watch.
Look, you can't see it.
- And not at the moment.
shane cashman
- It happened right there.
They put the thing over.
tim pool
- Look, look, no, no, no, keep watching, keep watching.
unidentified
- Is it allies or neighbors first?
tim pool
- Yeah, that is.
unidentified
- Who will be the first country to get the best - So when this came out, we all saw that handwritten - And then, that right there was it.
tim pool
Watch, watch.
So, so watch.
unidentified
- Travel to the southern borders.
tim pool
- I think there's a better video of it.
Okay, and it's also blurry.
That's super annoying.
shane cashman
That's right.
I remember some journalist came out the day after from like the post or something being like, here we go.
This is why it's an optical laser.
unidentified
So watch.
tim pool
His hand went over both mics.
Here's the first mic.
His hand goes over the mic.
Second.
This right here.
Now hold on.
Here's why it's strange.
I'm not asserting anything other than, here's why it's strange.
His arm is over the boom mic, which appears to be in the foreground.
But watch.
See, so he moves backwards, and now watch again.
He leans forward, and then the mic, this mic here, that his hand went over, does not move positions, and then his hand, wait for it, goes underneath.
So in one portion of the video, the mic doesn't move, he's over it, then behind it.
shane cashman
Yeah, that's one of my favorites.
tim pool
This looks so weird.
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
shane cashman
It's weird, dude.
tim pool
Like, and what is this mic pointed at?
shane cashman
Right.
tim pool
Now they're like, oh, it's fake news.
It doesn't, it's not real or whatever.
shane cashman
Like the post or someone was like, it's an optical illusion.
tim pool
A glitch.
They called it a glitch.
shane cashman
This whole presidency is an optical illusion.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It's a, it's a, it's a glitch.
shane cashman
I don't know.
I love that.
Well, that's, you know, a lot of people saw that and you have to remember this is also happening around the same time that he's doing all this stuff from that fake Oval Office.
Remember that little studio they set up for him to get the- Wait, pause it.
alex rosen
I like that he's double masked.
shane cashman
Yes.
alex rosen
Because he has the face mask and the mask over his fake mask, you know?
unidentified
I just the mic doesn't even look like it's in that actual and like even right here.
tim pool
You know, it's the funny thing about this.
Let's say for some reason they did make a fake video to debunk it.
All they have to do is make a different fake video and then say see I know.
Yeah, they're like, but look, it's a post reality, baby.
It's a different angle.
This proves that it was real.
It's like or you just made a second video claim.
That was the different angle, right?
shane cashman
It's like, you know, we talked about Tim would say he has a normalcy bias, right?
And I think sometimes I did too, but the new normal is that everything's fake.
So my normalcy bias is that I have to go with fake.
And, you know, he was getting the vaccines in that weird Oval Office that wasn't real in that, like, studio.
tim pool
Yeah, I forgot what they call it.
It's a studio across the street.
shane cashman
All that was just so weird.
tim pool
But people think that, so what happens is Biden's using this soundstage, which has been around for a while.
And then because of that, everyone says, aha, see, he's not really the president.
And it created this conspiracy theory where Trump was actually the president, but because we were going to go to war with China, they needed Biden to pretend to be president so that if we were attacked, they would go after Biden instead of the real president.
I'm sorry, guys.
It's just so convoluted.
shane cashman
I didn't go that far.
And I go far in a lot of things.
That one I didn't.
I was just thinking like Biden's whole thing is fake and he's got to be so controlled because he sleeps in a stasis pod every night.
And they have to replicate a new clone every few weeks because this one rots so frequently.
And I don't know.
tim pool
I think I just like why would they need to fake something like this?
alex rosen
Well, that's why people think he was still like real because there's just so much absurdity with Biden.
shane cashman
Like I think I think it's a why fake it is because like they have to uphold this illusion that he's actually competent and walking and president.
You know, I.
I think a lot of what they produce is just propaganda.
You know, you look at, um, oh, what was it called?
Overlook Mountain Laboratory or something in, in Laurel Canyon.
Uh, the, the government created like tens of thousands of propaganda films in that studio for years.
tim pool
CGI Biden.
shane cashman
And I think we're just now living in, like, that, that dream.
Like... This video's weird, dude.
tim pool
How does this microphone in the foreground... Well, it's two microphones.
It's not just one.
unidentified
It's, it's, it's two of them.
tim pool
Go under his arm.
unidentified
Then, oh my god.
tim pool
It's an illusion, and then later on, under his arm.
shane cashman
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
shane cashman
Yeah, it's just, it's just hard.
tim pool
People- He's leaning in here, to be fair, he's leaning in, and then he leans backwards.
alex rosen
But they have to know that people are gonna call that out.
I think they're putting out this stuff just to cause, like, chatter about it, just to make everybody insane.
I really think that's the case.
shane cashman
I think that's a part of it, too.
It could be.
You know, if you want to believe this is fake or whatever, I think a lot of this stuff is put out to demoralize.
You know, we were, a lot of us were talking last night on Twitter about that, uh, sex video.
tim pool
Post-reality.
What do you trust?
shane cashman
Post-reality.
Exactly.
But, like, the Saffir sex video.
And a lot of people are like, they're just putting this out to demoralize us.
It's like everything is just, let's just crush the American people, the American spirit, everything, you know, and there's no morality.
We don't care about the people.
We'll tax you into oblivion.
We're going to, you know, uh, poison your children.
We're going to poison you all these things.
You know, I, I do think that's part of it, whether or not it's intentional when they make it, but then they, they put it out there.
alex rosen
Well, yeah, because the thing is, I bet 90% of Congress has a video like that.
You know what I mean?
I bet 90% of Congress has a video like that.
That's the thing, and I know a lot of us are Trump supporters here, but until Trump comes in and actually exposes all this stuff for what it really is, I can't trust him either.
shane cashman
Well, I just think no one should worship or trust any politician.
alex rosen
Absolutely.
shane cashman
You know, I like Trump for a lot of reasons, but I also dislike him for a lot of reasons.
alex rosen
Absolutely.
shane cashman
And there's really no candidate right now anywhere that I'm like, I'm fully on.
I never will be.
alex rosen
Yeah.
shane cashman
Anyone who wants power like that, you should distrust, you know, and that's just how I roll.
But like Trump, I do favor him for a lot of reasons, and I don't think there's anyone else who I'd vote for when it comes down to that.
But I also have no hope when it comes to that.
tim pool
I can't vote for an animatronic dummy.
shane cashman
Well, definitely not that.
alex rosen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Definitely not voting for Joe Biden.
shane cashman
Taxpayers can't afford another four years of a green screen.
tim pool
The best part is like Media Matters and other groups are gonna be like, they actually thought it was true.
It's because jokes don't exist to the left.
shane cashman
Yeah, but Media Matters, they won't exist much longer.
Yeah.
Elon's gonna take them out, let's hope.
alex rosen
I hope so, I hope so.
tim pool
Yeah, but all that'll happen is the interest groups behind Media Matters will just fund a new version of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
You know, like, look, they try to take, they try to stop Alex Jones.
It's impossible.
It's just literally not possible.
Alex Jones could give everything away and then some random dude could film him with a cell phone and it would still, there you go.
End of story.
Like, you can't stop Alex Jones.
shane cashman
Yeah.
tim pool
So these, these groups are doing the same thing.
Elon sues them.
Maybe he's, he wins a lot of money.
Fine.
shane cashman
Right.
tim pool
Then the special interest groups will just say, create a new 501c3.
We'll call it.
Uh, you know, media now matters and it'll do the same thing.
shane cashman
Right.
I appreciate what they do.
I mean, they've written many things about you.
I've had a few hit pieces on media matters from some stories I've written.
And every time I post about those things, they're, they're like badges, you know, people, they only make whatever I've done better.
You know, I, I love that they're there.
I think it's great.
And we were, it is funny.
tim pool
A lot of the media matters articles on Tim cast are just quotes from us.
And I'm like, okay, Right.
Yeah, I did say that.
Yes.
shane cashman
Right.
It's kind of like the inverse of Libs of TikTok.
alex rosen
Can you only plug us to them, please?
Because I want to be the matter of peace.
Tell them that I catch pedophiles.
I really hate that.
shane cashman
When they hear this, you know, we'll make sure.
Yeah, we'll hit them up.
Yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, but the thing about Libs or TikTok is Libs will just play the video from a leftist, and Media Matters tends to misconstrue a video from people on the right.
shane cashman
Right, and we don't get mad when they post about it.
I mean, we get mad, I guess, to some degree.
tim pool
If they just quote me, and they've done this, where it's like, Tim Pool says this, I'm like, I did, thank you.
Thank you for writing an article about it.
But often they will misconstrue what you say intentionally to lie about you.
unidentified
Right.
shane cashman
Like when she, when lives of TikTok puts it out, you don't really need context for a lot of that.
Cause everything they're saying is like blatantly absurd for us.
Sometimes they'll take something out of context or just leave something out completely.
You know, like when I was like the Kanye story, they had a field day with that thing, but there's so much they left out and there's so much he said that they left out.
That was also in the story, but they don't care.
Cause they have to construct that narrative to, you know, Sodom and Gomorrah is trending.
Is it?
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
What?
shane cashman
Well, that makes sense, I guess, after last night.
tim pool
I think after last night, yeah.
shane cashman
Yeah, I guess this will air.
tim pool
Yeah, it's actually going to be like two weeks.
shane cashman
So by two weeks, I think what I predict, well, Jill Biden has a deal with Target to get an ornament made.
tim pool
It's going to be funny if by the time this airs, the U.S.
has collapsed.
So for those that are listening, you're listening to this this is the week of Christmas.
And so because of scheduling, the only possible way to do the interview is going to be on the 16th.
So it's a pre-record.
Hence why it's... I think it's premiering, not live.
shane cashman
A lot could happen.
Between now and- I know it's two weeks!
tim pool
What could happen?
It's like seven more videos are going to come out of like this guy.
So you know what's really crazy about the the staffers thing is people uh Josie the redhead libertarian pointed out that um Madison Cawthorn said they were inviting him to these orgies and stuff and he got mocked for it.
Yo they're in the building in the senate!
You know what I said this morning?
I'm like guys you all saw that video?
Wash your hands.
Because these these two dudes were going at it On this, like this, it, where you touch stuff when you're in that building and like, man.
shane cashman
But that guy respects his workplace.
I, I, I think 20, 25 years in prison.
alex rosen
Absolutely.
shane cashman
It's a real insurrection.
unidentified
It's an erection.
tim pool
We're talking about like numerous, numerous violations of the law, but also the biohazard element of it.
alex rosen
Oh, absolutely.
tim pool
Like if you get a cut and blood comes out and it spills on the floor, they have to put like a biohazard thing around it.
They have to come and get a special cleaner because of the risk of like, we try to avoid disease.
These are two guys engaging in, you know, sodomy.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
Let's just call it what it is.
tim pool
In a public space.
Where people work every day.
Yeah.
And, uh, you, you, you work in, you may have touched it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
And you may have, you may have touched this stuff.
shane cashman
Yeah.
It's crazy to see them freak out about someone like, you know, Jake, the, uh, QAnon shaman strolling.
tim pool
Who gets escorted into the building.
shane cashman
Yeah, escorted through.
And then, you know, I haven't really seen how the left is running or the corporate media is running with the new story yet with the sex video, but I imagine they're downplaying it and they're showing his apology-ish, you know, uh, or maybe, maybe they have a problem.
I have no idea.
Are they clutching their pearls?
Have we seen?
alex rosen
Yeah, I mean, I haven't really followed it too much.
I mean, yeah, what would CNN say about that story?
tim pool
Yeah, it's Pearl Harbor.
unidentified
U.S.
tim pool
Capitol Police are probing the video.
unidentified
No!
shane cashman
They used probing?
tim pool
They used probing, yeah.
Let's see.
alex rosen
They're probably going to watch it ten times over for investigative purposes.
tim pool
I don't think this one made the corporate press.
The Examiner has it, Advocate has it.
shane cashman
Wow.
tim pool
No?
shane cashman
I'm sure the Postmillennial wrote about it.
tim pool
Metro UK has it.
shane cashman
Okay.
tim pool
But I don't see... Yeah, it'll just disappear.
unidentified
Whoa.
shane cashman
It'll just disappear.
unidentified
What is this?
shane cashman
This is the laptop story, but it's the contents of the laptop now in the people's house.
And they're not gonna write about that.
tim pool
Yo, we're... I'm actually really surprised this is not front page news.
Axios has got a housing shortage, AI, Mossad, Giuliani's trial, Giuliani's trial again, Olive Garden.
shane cashman
Olive Garden?
Yeah.
tim pool
Look, when Axios runs a story about Olive Garden, instead of two men being caught doing this, you know they're covering it up.
shane cashman
Dude, they wrote giant think pieces about Don Jr.
filming videos from his waist up laying in bed.
Just talking, but they didn't like the angle he chose.
But this?
unidentified
Man.
shane cashman
Maybe they're working really hard.
tim pool
The New York Times has got Israel hostages, global debt, uh, let's see, Florida, Florida sex scandal.
The third story on New York Times is Moms for Liberty sex scandal.
shane cashman
Which is what, two weeks old now?
tim pool
And what was the scandal?
Like a woman was having an affair or something?
shane cashman
There was some sort of threesome thing.
I don't even know that story, but there was some, I think that's a threesome someone, I was gonna say pulled out.
And I did anyway.
tim pool
These people are evil, man.
The American people should know about what Democrats are doing in their property.
shane cashman
It's like a facade of objectivity, how they report.
Because I don't believe in objectivity.
You can strive for it, You're still leaving stuff out that is part of what would be objective.
I don't know though, because with objectivity... You're confusing omniscience and objectivity.
But I think when you're trying to be objective, you're not leaving stuff out when you know it has something to do with that story.
tim pool
If I go to a news story, if I go to a news event, and I see two guys throwing rocks, and I write, I saw two guys throwing rocks, that's an objectivity.
But then someone says, you didn't know that a third person threw a rock as well, therefore it's not objective.
No, no, no, my reporting is objective, it just lacked information because I'm not omniscient.
Subjectivity would be, my brother was throwing the rock, and I write, evil man attacks my brother who defends himself.
shane cashman
Agree with that, but I think these people know that those other things are there, and leaving those out.
Right, so that's subjectivity.
But they're pretending to be objective, in my opinion.
tim pool
But you said objectivity doesn't exist.
shane cashman
Oh yeah, no, no, no.
Objectivity's out there in the world.
I should say, objectivity does not exist in corporate press or in a lot of media.
Right, yes.
Because you still know, you know, I'm not going to put that in.
tim pool
The corporate press does not have objectivity at all.
shane cashman
But they strive for it, they pretend for it, and a lot of people who subscribe to that- They don't strive for it.
tim pool
They don't strive for it, you're right.
They intentionally obfuscate- You're right.
Claim their objective, but willingly- You're right.
Like, look, dude.
If the New York Times is running a story about moms for liberty, but they're ignoring a Democrat staffer, Doing what he did in the Senate building, then you know they're full of it.
alex rosen
And that's the thing, they try to do that to Moms of Liberty.
They try to paint it like, since Moms for Liberty had a threesome, that suddenly makes their message invalid at this point.
Suddenly sex with kids is okay now because somebody had a threesome.
shane cashman
Yeah.
alex rosen
And you know, they even brought up a thing with, they even brought up a thing with a sex offender.
Like, oh, well, he's one of the heads of this chapter of moms for Liberty.
I'm like, yeah, he should not be around any of that stuff.
But if even a sex offender is calling what they're doing in school sick, you really know you're sick.
So like.
shane cashman
Yeah.
And they do that all the time, just the way they manipulate the truth of a situation.
It's reminding me of how a lot of them were reporting on the Hunter Biden, um, gun situation where the, you know, they were talking about him getting in trouble with that gun, but they didn't talk about like him and the girlfriend throwing it in the garbage.
Which made the story, I think, way crazier.
But they leave that out.
They know it's there.
But they're like, if we put that in, it makes him look even crazier.
We can't give those to the other side.
So it's so hyper-partisan that it's infected them.
But they've been like this forever too.
It's not like it's nothing new.
This is what the news always does.
People still believe who aren't like, we're kind of like political junkies.
We're in this space.
We're reading a lot of it all the time.
But then I think of people like my parents and my grandparents who might agree with us on a lot of things, but their authority of the truth is the TV news.
And that's just a very condensed, that's the sound bites, you know, clickbait crap that Fox is guilty of, NBC, all that stuff.
And that's how they understand the world.
tim pool
What a wild time to be alive.
shane cashman
It's amazing.
Gary Lake told me we're blessed to be in this time because we are here to help fix it and we're doing something to help fix it and it's crazy but like you know you can we are here look we can talk to a lot of people are hearing it you're waking up a lot of people all the evil is going on you're breaking down politics all the time Like, that's amazing, you know?
And we're using these platforms to subvert all this narrative stuff, which was not something that happened to this degree in years prior.
tim pool
This is the last piece of content we are producing here until the new year.
shane cashman
Wow.
tim pool
The next time you see us after this, it will be 2024.
We're in it.
I feel like... I just got chills.
Dude, that journalist who's getting arrested?
I know.
Steve Baker?
shane cashman
Crazy.
alex rosen
Who's Steve Baker?
tim pool
He's a journalist.
unidentified
That's it.
tim pool
He's a Blaze contributor and they're, they announced, he announced that he's being charged over January 6th.
Oh gosh.
This is, was it three years later?
And he's a journalist unambiguously wearing a suit and glasses and, and, and sitting on the Blaze being like, well, what's going on here is the footage shows.
And they're like, ah, no, it doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Yo, it's not going to stop there.
I think mid 2024 people are going to, are going to be terrified.
I, this is the calm before the storm and you think it's bad now.
I think October of next year.
shane cashman
I know.
tim pool
There are already people who have fled the country.
shane cashman
I think they, sorry, I think they know how well a lot of people in this space subverted the COVID narrative and a lot of stuff that they know now that they have to, you know, like lockdowns.
tim pool
No, I think they're going to, I think podcasters will be arrested.
shane cashman
What I'm saying is like, now that they know that that has been subverted through this space, they're going to go extra hard on the journalists, you know, in the independent space.
tim pool
I think, so there was already a guy who was arrested who wasn't at January 6th who tweeted in support of it.
unidentified
What?
What the hell?
tim pool
Yeah, that's already happened.
shane cashman
And there was that guy at the airport who went to the Daily Wire premiere and they arrested him at the airport?
tim pool
He was at January 6th.
shane cashman
To what extent was he?
tim pool
He went in the building.
shane cashman
Okay.
tim pool
He went in the front door and then turned around and left.
shane cashman
Still three years later, didn't they already contact him and all that stuff?
tim pool
But the crazier story is the guy who was not at the Capitol, but was nearby and then left and then started tweeting in support of it.
And so they claimed incitement or something like that and arrested him.
alex rosen
Oh my God.
tim pool
So with the arrest of this journalist, Steve Baker, you combine these things and the sentencing of Owen Schroyer, which they justified speech, his speech as the reason for his arrest.
The next step is going to be prominent personalities on podcasts who encouraged before January 6th, some kind of, you know, riotous behavior.
And they're going to say you incited it and they're going to get him on felony charges.
shane cashman
And then the problem with that is how they define encourage.
They'll say, you just talking about it, right?
tim pool
Like... That comes later.
The first thing is going to... There were people who were doing podcasts, they were saying, go, go, go, yeah, overt.
shane cashman
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, there's no, like...
Some of these people have already fled the country.
shane cashman
Oh, I know.
tim pool
Yep.
And, uh, don't say anything about it.
shane cashman
Yep.
tim pool
And you wouldn't know because the way their videos are produced, but some of these people have already fled.
shane cashman
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Because they know it's coming.
shane cashman
But then they look at like Alex Jones, for instance, and they talk about January 6th with him.
They make it sound like he's a big instigator.
And Pozo's been good about posting this video again and again and again of Jones literally saying, don't go in there.
unidentified
Yeah.
shane cashman
On the bullhorn!
But like, the corporate press doesn't give a crap about that because they know that they still have a stranglehold on the authority of the truth for a lot of people who still believe that they rule that, you know?
Because it doesn't matter.
There could be all the evidence in the world for people to discredit whatever the press is saying, but they can still get away with it.
alex rosen
Oh my god, I got a message yesterday from a subscriber of mine.
And, you know, Alex Joe has had me on multiple times, like, you know, to promote what we do, and he's a very good person.
I mean, he's such a great guy.
shane cashman
I love Alex.
alex rosen
Oh, he's a freaking amazing.
But, um, you know, he gave me a bunch of crap.
This not Alex, but the subscriber gave me a bunch of crap for going on Alex Jones show because of his opinion on Sandy hook.
And no matter what you think about that, I'm like, well, just think about this for one second.
Just don't listen to what anybody else says about Alex Jones.
If you, if we're going by damage to kids, one, Alex Jones is the, like the only mainstream guy kind of mainstream guy promote.
I mean, I'm, I know I'm here right now, but at the time I said this, the only mainstream guy promoting our stuff.
And just think, CNN, Fox News, all these other mainstream sources that all crap on Alex Jones, they promoted all these wars that have killed Thousands and thousands and thousands of kids.
But Alex Jones has an opinion on, you know, an event may or may not happening.
And so just think about that for a second.
Out of all the lies that they've told, all the harm they've actually done, what has Alex Jones done in comparison?
shane cashman
Anytime I post a picture of myself with Alex, I get ready for the conversations I'll be getting.
And I like having them, honestly, because I'm a bit of a masochist.
But it gives me the opportunity to be like, all right, I understand that.
The Sandy Hook situation makes you uncomfortable.
It's a horrible thing to even have to think about.
However, now I get to talk about Operation Northwoods.
This is why it's okay, unfortunately, to question anything because you know these people have admitted to wanting to do certain types of violence.
