  • ICE saves kids!!!

    People not understanding why Chris supports ICE shows their ignorance. Chris supports ICE because ICE SAVES HUNDREDS OF KIDS ANNUALLY FROM CHILD S*X TRAFFICKING. If you can’t acknowledge that as a necessary good then you need to be removed from society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Two Googly Eyes”
Q: I've always thought the entrances were interesting when suspects are brought in. Have you ever changed your greeting to adapt to the situation?
Yes, I adjust my approach based on the situation; I sometimes use more colorful, engaging openings to help the suspect open up, while keeping it appropriate to the setting.
Darrel Rockewell
Q: What happened in the chat that led to this sting?
The decoy posed as a 13-year-old girl, and Darryl discussed meeting in person, sexual acts, and money, despite acknowledging the age in some messages.
Rep. Anna Luna on Take It Down, Child Protection, UFOs & the JFK Report | Have A Seat
Q: What is your take on the Safe Kids Act and the government's role in regulating tech and social media companies in relation to children's safety?
I view it as a top priority and believe we need stronger oversight and accountability, including discussing the Take It Down Act and related measures to address AI-generated imagery and other online threats to minors.
'Demon Hunter' Becca Spinks | Have A Seat
Q: What makes kids especially vulnerable to these predators?
She notes that predators target youths who are already vulnerable due to self-harm, mental health struggles, or identity issues, and that careful grooming and 'love bombing' can manipulate them into participating in harmful acts.
'Demon Hunter' Becca Spinks | Have A Seat
Q: How did you get into this line of work?
Becca explains she began by monitoring harmful online groups and expanded to tracking violent content and grooming tactics, ultimately focusing on the 764 network as a case study in online predation and accelerationism.
