Minnesota Corrections stated that they are prepared to go and pick up Derek Chauvin in the event of a pardon and bring him back to Minnesota because there are rumors circulating Trump will pardon Derek Chauvin and the federal charges and then all hell will break loose. There will be riots. The Minneapolis government has been preparing for potential riots and unrest. In the event this happens, I'm going to stop right there and say it's probably fake news. I think this is a story that they are drumming up intentionally to create some kind of story because I do not see anything from the Trump admin about why they would do this. Why would they pardon Derek Chauvin? He's just going to go to a state prison. Marjorie Taylor Greene chimed in saying he should be pardoned. Many prominent individuals have come out now saying Derek Chauvin should be pardoned. So at the very least we can talk about why he should be pardoned. Not that I think it's actually going to happen again. I think Democrats are intentionally trying to create some kind of story for some reason. We'll talk about that. We do have a Bunch of other news. The impeachment of Trump kind of fizzled out and failed. And I don't know, you know, Trump being impeached seems like big news. But Sri Tanadar, first time you've ever heard of him, right? The guy who tried to introduce his articles of impeachment has given up and announced he will not be filing these because are forcing a vote on it. I'm sorry. Because basically every Democrat was making fun of him, saying he was wasting their time with this. And so he, he backed down. In the meantime, there's real news. Donald Trump secured a massive, what is it, like, $200 billion deal with Qatar over buying Boeing jets. You got a lot of anger over Trump accepting a Qatari 747. And even a bunch of people on Fox. Many conservatives are coming out saying Trump should not take this for security reasons. So we'll talk about all of that and more before we get started. We got a great sponsor, my friends. It's be skin. Check it out. B A E R skin dot com. So remember the bear skin heavy storm rain jacket I was talking about while back? We did that sponsor look. I'm wearing this, this one right now. I love that thing so much. I had to get me the original bearskin hoodie 4.0. And let me tell you, this thing feels great. It really does. We, we did reach out to them and I told them explicitly like, guys, I said, send me one of these things. We love them. The best thing about it, the hoodie actually zips directly into the rain jacket. So the other one that I was wearing, it's actually over there. This whole thing just zips right into it. Essentially a 3 in 1 hoodie and rain jacket combo. Zip them together and boom, you got a full waterproof system that can handle everything from cold mornings to sudden rain or whatever. The hoodie itself, this thing is built like a tank, but it feels like your favorite pullover. It's made from 340gsm, is of original bearskin fleece. It's got 10 pockets inside and outside, but it's not bulky, it's easy to wear, it looks great, and it's still breathable when you're out working, hiking, or just running errands. I could honestly wear this thing every day. I actually might, you know. Yeah, I'm always wearing a hoodie. You can unlock a 60% off deal on the bearskin hoodie today. Here's what you got to do. Text the word Tim to 36912 right now. Super easy to do. Just text him to 36912. They'll send you a link for 60% off that you can come back to later, especially if you're doing something else right now. Maybe you're driving or you're.

Also, we also got Castor coffee. You can get a delicious cup of coffee. We got all different kinds.

Share the show right now with everyone you know. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is John Rocker.
John Rocker
How you doing, man?
Tim Pool
I'm doing pretty good. How about you?
John Rocker
Thank you for the invite.
Tim Pool
Absolutely. Thanks for coming. Who are you? What do you do?
John Rocker
My name is John Rocker. I'm from Macon, Georgia. I like walks on the beach and wearing tight shirts. I think being on this podcast, being the invite on this podcast, I think we all know what I do and did, which is generally just piss people off, talk a bunch of shit, say some dumb stuff. Some of us right. Some is not right. Actually. It's all right. And, you know, I got done playing baseball, retired, actually was forced into retirement by a horribly busted shoulder that just decided to stop working and then just sort of, you know, sort of laid up for a while. Just. Just kind of enjoyed retired life and now decide I'm bored. 50 years old. Came about 8 months ago. Midlife crisis. Things are the. The. The windows closing. The. The brightness is. Is slowly dimming on my box. I'm still relevant. Don't forget about. Back out of my mouth again.
Tim Pool
Is it. Is it common though, for pitchers with your shoulder?
John Rocker
Actually, the weird thing about mine, I played with big leagues in the minor leagues. I played almost 13 years. Did not go on the disabled list. Actually, I can't say it's now the IL because literally Major League baseball got. I don't want to call bitch that something. I don't from who to change it to the. The il, the injured list reserve or something from the disabled List. I mean that's how far woke has gone. Because I still caught the deal. But I was like, what is this? Ir. Is ir Injured reserve. Where. Because literally the bitching to rob Manford about. Change it from. From. From disabled list. That. That actually was a thing about four years ago. Yes. So nothing for almost 13 years. And remember back in the day when Peyton Manning had the pinched nerve in his neck?
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
Really affected his shoulder. His rotator cuff wouldn't fire. I had the same shit, but that was back in the steroid era. And I was like, fuck it, just. Just shoot me up. Get back out there. And so it was just, I'm taking this much, double my dose and add these two things and just keep. You just keep rolling me out there, man. I don't care how bad it hurts. Fuck it. And yeah, it turns out that was the wrong decision.
Tim Pool
Wow. Well, it's going to be. It's going to be fun. So thanks for hanging out.
John Rocker
Yeah. Enjoyed it, man.
Tim Pool
Raymond is here.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Hey, friends. I am Raymond G. Stanley Jr. I'm the resident of Blue Collar here at Tim Cast John. I look forward to talking with you. I have a memory of more than a week. But also before I pass it off to Phil, him.
Tim Pool
You have a memory of more than a week.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, because I know you sometimes you talk to folks who work here and memories of weeks, they forget about things that happen and. Yeah, yeah, just throw it out there. But listen, I know you love the.
Tim Pool
Oh, I got a gavel, huh?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes, you love your favorite melt. You can. They come with every.
Tim Pool
They come.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They come with every shelf we get here.
Tim Pool
Every shelf.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Judge, jury and executioner. I can kill people.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes.
John Rocker
Can't say that. You're bad. You're bad.
Tim Pool
That was Raymond's rubber mallet that I took from like a shelf that I thought was funny.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I needed back.
Tim Pool
I was banging it. Yeah, Phil. Phil's hanging out.
Phil Abonti
Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Abonti. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band all that Remains. I'm an anti communist and counter revolutionary. Let's get into it.
Tim Pool
Here's the news from kstp. Minneapolis and state leaders prepare for possible Derek Chauvin pardon. Now the important point in this story is this. Sources also told KSTP the Minnesota Department of Corrections is ready to pick up Chauvin at a federal penitentiary and bring him back to Oak Parks Heights prison in Minnesota to serve the remainder of his 22 and a half year sentence. He is currently in a federal prison in Texas. This is Democrats. They sent out a notice to city employees, city workers. And I believe there was some at the state level saying, here's what we're going to do in the event of a pardon of Chauvin. I don't know where that's coming from. Perhaps there is information in the pipeline that Trump is considering it. Or it may just be that several months ago, Ben Shapiro called for the pardoning of Derek Chauvin. Somebody then asked Donald Trump who said, I have no idea you're talking about. And now it's become a story. Even though it's not a story. There's a possibility, I suppose, at least at the state level, there are officials who have had communications indicating it is possible that Donald Trump does pardon Derek Chauvin. I believe he should be pardoned at the state and federal level. I'm not so sure it's going to happen, but if it does, what do you guys think? National riots or they wouldn't muster it up.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, there's a lot of people that are like, oh, you know, he'll go free, blah, blah, or it doesn't matter, he won't go free because he's got state charges and he'll, he'll be just put into, you know, into custody in, in Minneapolis. And one of the things that I think people are missing is the left doesn't need him to go free for them to riot. Right?
John Rocker
Yeah.
Phil Abonti
Anytime. Anytime, any quote, unquote, progress the left believes they've made or anything that rolls back the narrative that they prefer, if that happens, they freak out. You see the way that the left behaves. So anytime they lose any ground, they, they lose their mind. So it's completely, I think, within the realm of possibility that if, if Shogun Chauvin is, you know, pardoned for the federal charges, that there will be riots, protests and stuff across the country. And whereas I don't think that it would be as bad as the Summer of Love because people aren't at home, people are actually going to work. I think that because of COVID that was a unique summer. I do think that this is something that could spark nationwide riots.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They need a reason. They need a reason. You know, I don't think there's anything happening in the world today besides Gaza. It's a riot that's in America. So if this happens in America, they have a reason to get out in the streets and get mad because Trump did something wrong.
Tim Pool
I don't know.
John Rocker
Oh, we've been right about Maryland dad for the last month riding. But, you know, certainly protests.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, yeah.
John Rocker
Certainly expressing strong opinions.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Catalyst.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, I would push back on that because it started with Ferguson. It started with Michael Brown. You know, that's when riots. Well, that's when the, the left started to lose their mind.
Tim Pool
And Trayvon, that was blm was there, right?
Phil Abonti
Was there riots in Trayvon Martin?
John Rocker
Really?
Tim Pool
That's what started Black Lives Matter.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That's. Jeez.
John Rocker
Okay, that was during Obama. That was Obama.
Tim Pool
And then Obama came out and said, if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.
John Rocker
Yeah. That have been what, 10, 2010.
Tim Pool
I think it was 10. 12.
John Rocker
BLM's been going since 10.
Tim Pool
I think it was 12. Actually.
Phil Abonti
2012.
John Rocker
So I, I usually base a lot of my. What happened based on what chick I was dating. I remember the girlfriend I had when that happened and I was dating her from like 07 to like 10.
Tim Pool
It was, it was February 2012.
John Rocker
That's how I remember that.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
John Rocker
Okay, maybe. Maybe I'm. I'm off on, on, on girlfriend timeline.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Hopefully you have a stable girlfriend now. So.
John Rocker
I do.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Nothing else is going to happen.
John Rocker
Yeah, I do. So I'm 50, so I'm very. I'm finally happy.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Nice.
Tim Pool
Are you well versed in the Chauvin stuff?
John Rocker
Not completely. I watch a lot of news, but it's, you know, more of background noise.
Tim Pool
So a lot of, A lot of people I've heard from entered this story saying, at first I thought he was guilty, then I thought he should be acquitted. I was talking with Viva Fry said that. But I met a lot of people who say that. When you actually watch the trial of Derek Chauvin over George Floyd, you're like, oh, George Floyd died from fentanyl overdose. Why is it when you first see.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
The first video, I was like, holy s. What's going on? You know, this whole thing, guys sit on it. And then when he's the extended version, like, okay, this isn't as bad as I thought it was.
Tim Pool
I. This morning I asked.
John Rocker
Yeah, that right there will create an absolute shit show indeed. Oh, yeah, yeah. But now that. Okay, I'm putting the name with the story. Okay. Yeah. So absolutely. That will create an absolute fucking disaster.
Tim Pool
He should be pardoned on moral and ethical grounds. But yes, people would lose their minds.
John Rocker
But more on ethical grounds of a conservative view, he should be kept in jail for more ethical grounds. On a liberal view, their ethics and their morals are completely 180 from our ethics and morals.
Tim Pool
I agree. But.
John Rocker
But the liberals whole model of the world is completely from our model.
Phil Abonti
The world.
Tim Pool
So applying parallel, applying that Chauvin did nothing wrong because the liberals want him in prison and they want the criminals out of prison. Yeah, and conservatives want Chauvin out of prison and the criminals in prison. So the thing about Chauvin is I was. I was having a conversation with our good friend Chatbot earlier, and I asked it just simple questions, not loaded questions. I just said, did George Floyd have a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system when he died? And it said, according to the coroner report, he had 11 nanograms per milliliter in his. In his bloodstream when he died. However, the. The report, the coroner's report and other reports said that he died of, you know, the neck compression. And then I asked it, what is the typical concentration for a lethal amount of fentanyl? Three nanograms per milliliter.
John Rocker
So. So he had 400 more.
Tim Pool
Indeed. Indeed. And so the other issue at play was that George Floyd was already on the ground when Chauvin arrived. Chauvin arrived late. So the cops had already subdued him. They already dealt with him. They already put him on the ground. Chauvin shows up, seeing a crowd, everyone's going crazy. There's a guy on the ground, and he walks over, and he used a restraint he was trained to use by the mpd. And the only arguments is that he should have at some point understood that George Floyd became unresponsive and rendered aid.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, which.
Tim Pool
Which, again, my argument in that whole story is negligence, not. Not murder, not racism, not.
Phil Abonti
It's worth noting that there's a lot of people that are making complaints about the constitutionality of the deportations that we're doing. Derek Chauvin, the judge in the Derek Chauvin case, said that there was no way that Derek Chauvin could get a fair trial. He wasn't going to be able to get a fair trial anywhere in Minnesota. The proper. And this is something that Tim said before on the show, but the proper remedy for that is you don't try him because you're guaranteed a fair trial with an unbiased jury. And if the results were already in as soon as he was arrested, then you can't try him because you're violating his constitutional rights. All the people that are like, oh, the constitutional rights of, of the trend Nicaragua gang members and the constitutional rights of all the. The people that have come here.
John Rocker
A quick aside because, you know, with obviously the, The. The left coming up with. A couple weeks ago, Trump even admitted he doesn't know what the. Support the continent. If you're here illegally, do you have constitutional rights.
Phil Abonti
The Constitution.
John Rocker
You do.
Tim Pool
Yeah, you do, but it's limited exactly.
John Rocker
To a certain point. You have constitutional rights.
Phil Abonti
The things in the Bill of Rights are a list of things the federal government can't do. They're not a list of things that the people in the United States can't do. The American people are free to do whatever they want. If it's not specifically prohibited by law, then you're free to do it. There's a lot of people that have that mixed up. So the fact that the Constitution limits the government means that the rights that everyone enjoys their, their rights that are protected because they come from your humanity, not from the government.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
And they could have found a different. Sorry, they could have found a different place like Minnesota. They could have been somewhere, some, anywhere in the United States, southern state, that he would get more of a fair trial than actually.
Phil Abonti
Yes.
Tim Pool
Well, you know, for state level charges. This is the fascinating thing. Throw everything out. You know what? Maybe the final thing. I don't know, I'm talking about. Fine. The judge said there is nowhere in the state he's going to get a more fair trial because everyone's already been prejudiced by the media coverage. Okay. My response to that is if you can't have a fair trial, then you're free to go.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, that's the constitutional remedy.
Tim Pool
Indeed.
Phil Abonti
And, and you'll hear again, there you go. Smash the other.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
We have three more backups, so you can break that all you want and.
Phil Abonti
You'Ll hear the left making all sorts of constitutional arguments, but this is just evidence that, that they don't actually care about the Constitution. The Constitution is a means to an end, which the end is allow the illegal immigrants.
John Rocker
Everyone twisted to look at, look at.
Tim Pool
The South Africa thing. Trump brings in 59 white people from South Africa and it's the apocalypse. The Episcopal Church shut, shuts down its 40 year old refugee resettlement program. Over 59 people. All these people in media are screaming, Trump's a white supremacist and a racist. These people have argued on CNN that the white people in South Africa should go back to Germany. They say that the white people, United States are colonized, should give the land back to Mexico or to Native Americans. There's literally nothing you can do if you're a white person for these people. But Trump is the racist.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
And what I saw, I got a hell of a reception over in, over in Qatar and over in Saudi Arabia.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, he sure did.
John Rocker
The bigot that he is with the Muslims. And yeah, those folks are Pretty dark complected over there. He hates brown people, doesn't he?
Phil Abonti
Before, before Trump was the president, particularly the Republican president, he was loved by everybody. You know, it didn't matter your, your color, race, creed. They were like, oh yeah, Donald Trump, he's the quintessential American businessman. He's the quintessential successful real estate or.
John Rocker
From his name changed everything.
Phil Abonti
And he was.
John Rocker
If it was a D in front of his name, well, you're in a shit.
Tim Pool
He could do no wrong.
Phil Abonti
Why they loved him. He was a Democrat until he decided to run for. He was a Democrat through all the 90s and 2000 until he decided to run as a run for president. Then he was like.
John Rocker
The demons back in the 80s and 90s. They're not too far off of what the Rs are right now. Yeah, not, not too terribly far off.
Phil Abonti
Well, this is something we talked about multiple times that on the show. If you look at the makeup of Trump's cabinet, you got Tulsi Gabner, used to be rfk still he, he's actually registered as a libertarian, but he comes from a Democrat.
John Rocker
He's a translator, by the way. RFK is. I can't listen to his voice. Have a little, a little note next to him, type it out, let this guy say, say it for him. I can't listen to that voice anymore, man.
Phil Abonti
It is warbly and stuff.
John Rocker
I ratchet chalkboard. Listen to rfk. That's a toss up, man. I'm not really sure.
Tim Pool
He had a hearing today. Did you guys see it?
Phil Abonti
I didn't see the, but I did see the Bennett.
Tim Pool
Why are, why aren't the Democrats going, thank you, RFK Jr. Yeah, I don't understand. He's a liberal getting this, this policy that Trump's putting in place for negotiating down drug costs should have every single Democrat clapping and giving a standing ovation to Trump. This is their policy.
Phil Abonti
Not only that, but they're protesting.
John Rocker
They don't get credit for it though. If you don't get credit for it, I mean, you got to give the other guys credit, which is the other guys stay in power and we don't. You know, it's kind of like when I was a minor league pitcher. This is one of those, this is sort of a long winded analogy, but it'll make sense in the end. Dear friend of mine, actually I'm going down next week to the Brave Spring training complex to coach in a college wood bat league down there. And my dear friend of mine, Damian Moss, he owns the league and we were competitors, you know, coming up through the Braves minor league system. So it was a weird thing. We're on the same team. Republicans, Democrats were on the same team, we're part of the same country, all hopefully moving the same direction. But if Damian went out and pitched, it's a sick. If he wins, he pitches good, our team wins, awesome. Maybe we'll win a championship. But he pitches bad. I'm always kind of sitting in the dugout going, 1, 2, 3, inning.
Tim Pool
Damn it.
John Rocker
Oh, I gave up free that inning. All right. Because if he pitches bad, then. Then I get to get more credit. If I pitch good, I get the big leagues first as sort of a competition within the overall team dynamic. I think that's sort of the same thing with Dems and conservatives. If Trump does something that they were championing, he's going to get credit, not them. That way, the Republicans are moving farther, faster ahead, getting more credit, more credibility, and then they're sort of lagging behind with just really not a whole lot to talk about and no real way to kind of step in. And here's how. We're opposite from each other. Our policies work better than yours.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I feel like the right is. We would be happy if Democrats were in charge. Not if they were in charge, but if they did something good and made America better, like, that's good, we would appreciate that. We're for freaking Americans. But they cannot. They cannot give back.
John Rocker
Absolutely.
Tim Pool
That's why there are former liberals who voted for Trump. That's why Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Went with Trump, because Trump was like, I'm gonna do these things that are good. Will you work with me? And these former Democrats were like, this is my opportunity to do something. I think one of the reasons we see the Democratic Party as psychotic and cultish as it is is because the sane, rational Democrats who saw a path towards accomplishing, finding their solutions said, okay, Trump, let's work together. I want RFK juniors like, I want to ban artificial food dyes. Trump says, I can do. I can do that with you. Come work with me. And RFK said, okay, now that now the Democrats have no leadership. Is it people who wanted solutions that.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Will take it isn't real kind of trying to do something now to solidify?
Tim Pool
Yep, yep, we will get to that. But let's jump to this story. Let's jump to this story. For us, this was funny. This guy from the independent House Democrats furious as Congressman launches waste of time impeachment proceedings against Trump. Michigan Rep. Shri Tanadar's resolution attacked as waste of effing time by his own own side. But Congressman insists it's, quote, about doing the right thing really well. He's canceled. He said, in the 15 days since I filed seven articles of impeachment against President Trump, he has committed more impeachable offenses, most dangerously accepting a 400. $400 million private jet from Qatar, which even Republican members of Congress have called wrong. So after talking with many colleagues, I've decided not to force a vote on impeachment today. Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution. With me, this is not about any one person or party. It's about defending America, our Constitution and rule of law. I will continue to pursue all avenues to put this president on notice and hold him accountable for his many impeachable crimes.
John Rocker
Now, I wonder who wrote that for him. First of all, go back, go back once one screen. Tim, is he a kid wearing a little kid wearing his daddy suit? What do you suit like that from? You're in Congress, you're going to be on TV. Get a suit that fits Guy. He's 12 years old, wearing his grown, his grown father's suit with his sister right there.
Tim Pool
You know, part of me feels bad for this guy because look at the.
John Rocker
Wig, the wig on top of his head. And everything is wrong about this guy. Everything is wrong about him. I can't even, I can't even see what's below the podium. She's a lot going, a lot going wrong down there.
Tim Pool
Even Democrats don't like him. Now here's the thing. Nobody wanted this. I was on a debate with him. Cenk Uygur was also on it from the Young Turks. And even Cenk Uygur was laughing at him, saying like, what are you doing? Are you gonna convince Republicans to impeach him? You're wasting our time. And now the rest of the Democrats are saying, saying the same thing. Let me tell you about Sri Tanadar. You never heard of him before. You probably never hear from him again. This is a rep. Who does not know the name of the Michigan cities he actually represents.
John Rocker
He does. He just can't pronounce them.
Tim Pool
You know, that would be funny. But he actually doesn't know who he represents. So he was interviewed and special election.
John Rocker
Guy or he actually go through the whole process.
Tim Pool
I'm pretty sure he actually won. And I think this is this. He did actually win. And this is indicative of Democrat leadership. They Vote for whoever's got a D next to their name and that's it. And that's why you end up with a guy. So he gets asked by this, this, I don't know who this guy is who's asking. He says, what are the five gross point cities? Tend our laughs. And then says, look, I'm not here to answer a quiz. I'm here. I'm going to fight for the people of Detroit. I'm going to fight for my constituents. The interviewer then begins naming the cities and then only after does Tanadar then start repeating them. This is who is trying to impeach Donald Trump. And this is why you've never heard.
John Rocker
It didn't work first term when you only had one chamber. Now you have no chambers and this is going to work for you.
Tim Pool
Well, you know what it is? There's no Democrat leaders. There's no superstars in the Democratic Party. So SRI was thinking, or someone advised them, you need to do something big to get attention.
John Rocker
No one five foot five has got a prayer. No man five foot five I hadn't seen really stand up to me. You may be.
Tim Pool
Five, ten.
John Rocker
No one five foot five, this wearing daddy suit has got a prayer. Ever doing anything big in the Democrat Party?
Phil Abonti
Not since TV and the thing in the Democratic Party.
John Rocker
Politically. Any politically, anyway.
Tim Pool
I agree.
John Rocker
I'm sure you can make a dig back. You know how tall Rubio is.
Phil Abonti
You could be a congressperson. You could be, you can, you could be a congressperson.
John Rocker
Yeah, but past that. No, no, that's Congress, you know, presidential. Anything Cabinet wise, anything.
Tim Pool
What's funny is we were actually just talking about this the other day. Who is it with? Emily. And I was telling her that one of the reason women have a hard time with politics is there is they're not as tall as men. And she was like, no, height has nothing to do with it.
John Rocker
And it's a whole, it's all perception thing.
Tim Pool
Absolutely. I pulled up two studies. Height absolutely plays a huge, plays a significant role in how your elections turn out. There's, there's no information available about the exact height of Sri Tanadar.
John Rocker
I can make an educated guess. I think I'm pretty. I think, I think I'm pretty close to being right.
Tim Pool
What if he's wearing a 2XL suit and so he just looks short?
Phil Abonti
Then he makes decisions and he should.
John Rocker
Lose his poor stupid. To go out and get you a reasonable suit. You like a clown.
Tim Pool
Well, yeah, the guy is a clown.
John Rocker
For a lot of reasonable suit. Man, come on. You're better than that. That's a men's warehouse suit. Probably. Probably bought on layaway. The tailor was out that day. He's like, fuck it, just give it to me.
Tim Pool
You're making me feel bad for this guy.
John Rocker
Well, I keep going for that 15 minutes.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I know. They still had layaways.
John Rocker
Let's. Let's put. Let's put two minutes on the class. Be funny things we can say.
Phil Abonti
He earned it.
Tim Pool
He did.
John Rocker
I bet you it's a bad toupee too. There's a bad toupee. Real hair.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
He did a life a live at a speech that he was really mad at. People talking about his hair. Yeah, yeah. He's like, they say where country I'm from, they don't like my hair. They're talking about my. Well, I can't do his accent, but they don't like. He was very upset about his hair.
Tim Pool
He doesn't even know which cities he represents. He doesn't. This is, this is the problem we have in this country. People on the Democrats largest. But Republicans do this too. There was a story in New Hampshire, Phil, you might know this one where a transgender anarchist Satan say that you say TG now.
John Rocker
Tg. Otherwise you give him a finish up.
Tim Pool
Playing a TG anarchist Satanist ran for the sheriff, I think.
John Rocker
Right.
Tim Pool
Yeah. And the Republicans voted for this person.
Phil Abonti
Yep. One where they get to see.
Tim Pool
But won the primary but lost in general.
Phil Abonti
Lost the general. And it was for. It was actually from my. My county.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, snap.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Oh, it's where you.
Phil Abonti
You actually live in my county.
John Rocker
One of those interesting things is Caitlyn Jenner red? Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah. I mean that is. That's a head scratcher right there.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
There's a couple of red ones.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
A friend of the show. What is Claire White?
Phil Abonti
Yeah, White. Yeah.
John Rocker
You know, I've heard her as her. I mean I was, I was a Bruce Jenner fan my entire life. I have the Wheaties boxes. But listen, listen to her talk. I've seen interviewed by a number of times by Hannity. I mean you love everything she says. You're like, yeah, I get it. Why can't you influence more of your, you know, your community folks to think your common sense.
Tim Pool
Oh, is that Charlie laduff? Someone said that's Charlie laduff asking Tree those questions. We've had him on the show. Is that him? It's hard to tell.
Phil Abonti
I don't know. Oh, it is. Oh, it is.
John Rocker
Gross.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Cities so big.
Phil Abonti
Well, look, I'm not here to stick the scalp.
Tim Pool
I'm here to say that I'm gonna.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Fight for the people. Like, dude, cut your hair.
Tim Pool
This dude's 70, I think. Yeah, I think he's 70. Look, man, people just vote sri 70. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
John Rocker
Google it.
Tim Pool
How old do you. How old do you think he is?
John Rocker
45.
Tim Pool
Yeah. For real.
John Rocker
I mean, those.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
57.
Phil Abonti
He's 57.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, no, I'm saying I'm going to. Can't find it. What the heck?
Tim Pool
What do you mean he's 70?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Is that what it says?
Tim Pool
I'm going in right now.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Let's see my jets.
John Rocker
Do you know this for a fact? Are you just going off some.
Tim Pool
Sri Tanadar was born February 22, 1955. He is 70 years old.
John Rocker
What?
Tim Pool
Wow. Yeah. He became a US citizen. He looks good, right?
John Rocker
Yeah, Weird. Very good. For which he takes. Or whatever island he's from. Holy. You know what? I'm gonna take back everything I just said about that guy. I'm gonna take that back. No, I'm not. It was all pretty funny. It all stands. That is what it is.
Tim Pool
He said you got to take it back and then ask him what his routine is.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Phil Abonti
And what do you do, man, that.
John Rocker
That's special right there.
Tim Pool
He's. He became a US citizen in 1988, and he was born in Chodi, Karnataka, India. You know, I do have an honest question, though, and I don't mean this to be rude or anything.
John Rocker
I mean, it's gonna be good.
Tim Pool
It's been. What is it, 37 years? Am I doing my math wrong?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Since.
Tim Pool
Since he became a US Citizen?
John Rocker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Depends on when.
Tim Pool
But why still have the accent?
John Rocker
You can't get rid of that.
Tim Pool
You really. No, but I mean, you know, we.
John Rocker
If you move down to Atlanta, Georgia, you're gonna stop talking like a Yankee now.
Tim Pool
After 37 years, maybe. Like, who are you around where you're still talking like their own community?
John Rocker
My buddy, Mon Damian, muscle about. He's Aussie. He still. He still has the accent, but that's been here 93.
Tim Pool
Our friend Richie is Australian, and he's here and he talks with me. Yeah, he lost it.
John Rocker
Oh, no.
Tim Pool
But he can. He can. He can turn it back on and off. We had a.
John Rocker
You know, from where he's from, I bet a lot of Indian folks, he live around him, so he's probably not around the.
Tim Pool
That's true.
John Rocker
That's the gringo white speak very much.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They stay within their own community. Of course.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Maybe that's it.
Phil Abonti
I Don't know.
Tim Pool
Maybe, maybe, you know, it could be. And I mean, it's all seriousness. At a certain age when you learn the language, you can't develop the, the, the muscle and neural pathways for a certain type of.
John Rocker
88. He's 70 out. 88. That means he was like 63.
Phil Abonti
I can't even believe that's more than 30 years.
Tim Pool
33.
John Rocker
Yeah. Yeah. But seriously, I mean, he looks so younger and, and I pretty much hate anyone who's younger than me. I'm jealous of them.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Sorry.
Tim Pool
He's sitting back watching the show like you said he was 45. And he's like, damn right.
John Rocker
But seriously, not a gray hair. He's happy now, but now I'm, I'm actually positive that is a wig. Of course that's not toupe. That's a wig.
Tim Pool
He has the hair.
John Rocker
He's like, you know, cover up the horseshoe. Now that. That's a full. That's a sheep on your head.
Tim Pool
Is the hair of a 19 year old emo band guitarist.
John Rocker
That, That's a straight sheep on your head.
Phil Abonti
I'm jealous of.
John Rocker
Went by Roadkill and you pick it up and suture that thing.
Tim Pool
Oh, wait, wait. You ready for this? You ready for this? There you go.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
There you go.
John Rocker
That is.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
He loves Panic at the Disco.
John Rocker
He does not.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Big fan.
John Rocker
Those Panic at the Disco and, and glistening ties. He loves satin ties.
Phil Abonti
He's got a little bit on, a little bit of the wrinkles on the neck, but.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
There'S no other reason for it.
Tim Pool
I don't know, man. I don't know that.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That. What?
Tim Pool
I don't know why we're talking about how young this. We're sitting here saying he looks like he's 45 with the hair of a 19 year old. You'd think this is like the View or something.
John Rocker
That means we're gonna. I like to see him without a shirt on.
Tim Pool
Maybe, maybe, maybe there's some other news. What do we have?
John Rocker
All right, move on. You're the, you're the host.
Tim Pool
Let's, let's, let's jump to the story. We got this post from Retro, kind of. Now the crazy thing about the story is I don't see anybody writing it up. I've been searching to see if someone's going to write the story up. They don't go near it. Repro Kana says today I'm introducing legislation to codify President Trump's executive order ensuring Americans do not pay more than people in other countries for drugs. Will Congress members stand with $16 billion in Big Pharma money or the American people by co sponsoring this bipartisan legislation. Let's play tape.
E
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce as legislation President Trump's executive order for the most favored nation status on drug pricing. My legislation will codify President Trump's executive order, which basically says that Americans should not pay more for drugs than people in other countries and other parts of the world. Right now, we're paying two to three times more for our drugs than people in other industrialized nations. Now, this executive order codified by the legislation, will allow our cabinet secretaries to put pressure on Big Pharma and make sure that they are not price gouging and will allow for the importation of cheaper drugs. So you ask, why do we need the legislation? Because the reality is that Big Pharma will sue for the executive order like they did in the previous Trump administration. And in the previous administration, they managed to kill the executive order. The only way we can stand up to Big Pharma is to codify in legislation what the President wants to do in an executive order.
Tim Pool
Damn right.
E
So here's the deal. If I can cross the aisle and support President Trump's executive order and legislation, every Republican should be willing to cross the aisle and support my legislation. It's a pretty simple test.
John Rocker
Let's read it.
E
But are we going to stand in this body with the $16 billion that big pharmacists, or are we going to stand people?
Tim Pool
Well, this is Ro Khanna. He does, he does fairly well. He's a, he's a lib. He's got lib ideas.
John Rocker
Is he a lib or is he a Democrat? Is he a Joe Manchin or is he a aoc?
Tim Pool
He's a lip. I, I, you know, he, he, he leans more to the AOC side, but I consider him to be, you know, and I say this respectfully, ignorant, but honest. He has bad ideas because he is ignorant of what's actually going on in the world. But I believe he's trying to be honest. He just doesn't know what he's talking about.
John Rocker
Yeah, let's see. This bill comes out with all kinds of illegal immigration footnotes to it and yada yada, but have he straightforward with it. But that right there, Democrats are sitting back going, you dirty mother. Yeah, force it and be like, I've got to do something for Trump. I've got to, I got to, I got to join the empire. Shit.
Tim Pool
We've had Ro Khanna on the show and we've given him credit quite A bit in the past, because when it comes to stuff like big tech, censorship, spying, he tends to be on the right side of things. I just think for a lot of these Democrats, they believe the corporate press when they lie about Trump and all this other stuff. So he's basing his politics off of fake news. Most of the time. In this instance, there's no fake news to be at. Donald Trump gave a speech and said, here's what we're going to do. And the. Every single Democrat should be giving Trump a standing ovation for that, for the executive order.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No way.
Tim Pool
But they're hypocrites.
John Rocker
It's like you were saying, rocking a hard place, man.
Tim Pool
They, they can't give Trump the win.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
Especially on an issue they've been passionate about for the last how many years. Now this Republican come in and steal our thunder and do it for us. It makes us look incompetent, like we couldn't get it done. This guy came in in six months and bing, bang, boom, got what done? We've been trying to get done for 20 years.
Phil Abonti
One of the great things that about Donald Trump is he's changing what politicians in the future are going to have, how they're going to have to behave, because he's shown that Republicans can come in and make significant changes and he's doing things like this, showing that Democrats can do, can do things as well. Presidents for, for ages, they've just been like, oh, we can't, we can't, we can't. Or, you know, and they've, or they've made promises and not followed through. Donald Trump has made it. They're going to have to do something.
John Rocker
I think, you know, we bag on what happened under, under Biden over those four years and say, Democrats can't this, Democrats can't that what they did. Or Biden, that's exactly what they wanted to do. It just, we just disagree with it. And what Trump is doing, they're saying, you know, the Republicans can't fix the country, although the stupid oligarchy tour. And, you know, we're going to, I don't know this phrase I use, but build back better. Like, what's wrong with it? What are you going to build back? What are you going to improve from what Trump's doing? Well, according to their model of the world, what Trump's doing is completely wrong. I mean, they're there. They just don't see through the same eyes we see through. So what Trump's doing to what their opinion, their model of the world is Is is completely 180 from how they would do things and vice versa.
Tim Pool
You've seen how the corporate press puts the orange filter on Trump's face. Have you seen those photos? Let me see if I can pull one up.
John Rocker
Because it's not quite that orange.
Tim Pool
It's not. This is what's absolutely fascinating about the perception people have in this world.
John Rocker
Yeah. Yeah, I'll say that.
Tim Pool
Both pictures from at Timcast News follow Tim cast news.
John Rocker
So petty. I mean, just Democrat liberals are just such children. Just absolutely.
Tim Pool
And they all do this look. Both pictures are from the White House press conference. This is on the 12th. The orange filter the fake news media places on Trump is insane. Here's Trump, and I was watching this on tv and I have met this man in person on more than one occasion. His face is not bright orange. He clearly does have a spray tan. Sure, but it's more like that. Not like that.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, but it's nice.
Tim Pool
Look at the edges of his face. It looks like they used Photoshop to actually cut out his face.
John Rocker
And then it stops. Start right there next to his ear.
Tim Pool
I do think that Trump has a spray tan. I think. I think that's actually for sure.
John Rocker
He does.
Tim Pool
But look how they look, man. It's not the first time they've been accused of doing this that it appears absolutely the case. They consistently do it.
John Rocker
Well, the numbers are down to 25%. So because of how hard they try. You're going to the fucking tank.
Tim Pool
But. So this is the problem when. When Donald Trump comes out and says, we're going to lower drug prices, Democrats should be clapping. It's about time Trump did something we wanted to see done. But what the corporate press makes sure of is that all of these people that are Democrat voters, they see a clown with a bright orange face and they pull him out of context and lie about what he's doing. And then, of course, what the Democrats are actually doing now, like Elizabeth Warren, they're just going on tv. And instead of telling the constituents, their constituents what Trump wants to do, they're saying, don't listen to Trump. He's a liar. He wants to cut your medical benefits.
John Rocker
It's the same playbook for decades. They were saying this shit back in the Clinton days, when it was Clinton and Bush, they were saying that shit back in the 90s. It's the same playbook, just regurgitated. 30 years later.
Phil Abonti
It's all the same scare tactics. And especially when it comes to stuff like Medicaid, the boomers are the most reliable Voting blocks. So if you can scare the boomers into believing something and that whatever.
John Rocker
It's been used so much though it is the boy that cried Wolf. And we're all about. About sequel number eight.
Phil Abonti
I think that the fact that it's.
John Rocker
Fresh as a fog at concert, I.
Phil Abonti
Think the fact that there's too many people that can't afford to lose their Medicare and Medicaid benefits where it's not worth the risk, they're like, look, maybe they won't. Maybe they have been saying this forever, but if this guy actually does, I'm totally screwed. And I'm lived. I live on a fixed income.
John Rocker
Everybody, both side knows that there's no way in hell anyone ever do some shit like that. No way.
Phil Abonti
I mean, it seems to that and.
John Rocker
Then he's going to fire a nuclear missile at Canada. It works that one too, you know, that's about as believable.
Tim Pool
So what do you, what do you see? Where do we go as a country when half the country is just like literally anything Trump does is wrong no matter what. We get four years of Biden where they're burning.
John Rocker
I don't, I don't think it's half, to be honest with you, Tim. I mean, you know, we saw Trump win popular vote by 3.4%. It was enough. And one thing I think about too, I cannot wait. These trade deals are done and he's going to get them done, by the way. I mean, all this cry and wolf and terrified of your own shadow over the tariffs. I've gotten hit a little bit. I mean, I got a lot of merch sold off my X account, my website, whatever. It used to be three weeks to get my stuff. Now it's like over two months. And I get customers call me up going cancel my order. It's been two months. I'm like, all right, well, it's not my fault. Stuff sitting on a, on a, on a, on a barge out in San Diego right now. But when this stuff happens, I mean, kind of like he was saying, you know, too, too big to rig the election. Got that. And when you have at least two years, and if not, you know, four years of big stuff happening and even drug costs going down, the economy is going to just, I mean, it is going to be on steroids with gasoline behind it. There's only anywhere for these libs to hide. Especially when he's taken over some of their talking points and some of their policies and got away. Just let me do it. And we, and we look at their bullpen who have they got. I keep, I watch, you know, Fox, Fox News, Fox Business hours a day. And it's just sort of droning on and on like, can we move on to the next story? You know, Dems in disarray. Their approval rating is 26. And you know, you have nobody AOC. That's, that's your, that's your night in shining armor, Bernie. I mean, he's, he's going to be dead in six months. You think he's. Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns is never going to win a major election. So. Yeah, I don't, I don't. And another thing too, with the.
Tim Pool
I got to stop you there. I'm going to say Hans Molman, but continue.
John Rocker
I'm calling who they are.
Tim Pool
Who Hans Moleman. Who the Simpsons reference. Mr. Burns is a billionaire. Bernie Sanders is Hans Mole Man. Okay, all this, all the Simpsons fans are, are.
John Rocker
Yeah, I'm a Family Guy fan. But anyway, but can you imagine, I mean, a lot of election elections are one in media one one through advertising. The, the sound bites, the, the commercials that the Republicans are going to be able to make. I mean, just the shit that happened just a couple of days ago with the ICE agents in Jersey that is going to be on a commercial in about 12 months. I mean, all the stuff with the Ms. 13, the Maryland dad is going to be on a commercial in the next 12 months. They are going to take all the stuff these morons have been doing for the last, you know, especially six months, but really the last year, and then to make commercials out, all of them.
Phil Abonti
It's political malpractice.
John Rocker
They don't beat them over the stinking head with it. Every commercial break is going to. You're going to see some lefty losing their mind over something ridiculous. And it's going to be vote Trump, vote Republican, vote whoever the race is for.
Tim Pool
And I think that's why they did it. I think, you know, a lot of the liberals are like, why won't Trump just have the hearing for the guy of Bruno Garcia? Why don't you just bring him back? It's super easy. Because he wants Democrats at hearings banging on the table screaming like, bring him home. And then they're going to do what you said in the commercials and it's going to be a red screen with news headlines in a voice like this.
John Rocker
Saying, okay, you might be the voiceover.
Tim Pool
Sam Elliot, tryout his wife, closed fist, black eyes, human trafficker. And then it's going to show all this stuff and then it's show Elizabeth Warren being Like he's got to come.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Back to this country.
John Rocker
I mean, that's going to be so powerful. And these moron liberals are so stupid that they don't realize they're creating the world's biggest PR machine against themselves for 26 and 28.
Tim Pool
It's why they got no bullpen.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They have a bullpen. Have you guys heard of this fella? No.
John Rocker
They got an A ball bullpen for a big league team.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
This gentleman, he was a. He carried weapons of war. He can co. Talk to white men. So he's. He's very good what he does. It's Tim Walls, 20, 28.
Tim Pool
Ah, he gives Tim's a bad name.
John Rocker
How about. How about. How about his daughter and a dumbass. She opened her mouth with what last week, I guess about running being a white privilege.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I heard something for office. What'd you say?
John Rocker
No running like jogging. Oh, jogging is a white man saying it's white privilege to jog. Like maybe. Have you seen the us. The US Olympic track team? Have you seen a honky on that damn thing? Maybe in like the. I'm. I run the 18 mile. I'm wide for a limit. I'm running 18 miles. What I run. Have you seen the Boston New York marathons? When's the last one? White guy gringo won the name Boston Marathon.
Tim Pool
It's Kenya.
John Rocker
It's been a minute.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah. All those guys. Yeah.
Phil Abonti
You see, it's the same village in from Kenya.
John Rocker
It's family. Grandfather, father, brother, all the way down.
Phil Abonti
If I understand correctly, it's the same village from Kenya actually.
John Rocker
26 miles away from the grocery store. Go get us some bread. Be back in three and a half hours.
Tim Pool
They run the marathon. They're like, this is a normal daily occurrence for us.
John Rocker
But you know, and they stop turning and go back.
Tim Pool
That's. That, that, that probably is true that they have to run. We don't. People in America don't run anywhere.
John Rocker
Have you seen, you know, we've seen college track teams. They're not white people running on those things. Tim Walls is dumb daughter.
Tim Pool
Why people play hockey though.
John Rocker
That was a great.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, you're good.
John Rocker
Okay. I've seen you guys kind of like look at me side. I'd stink out yet.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, but. No, you're good.
Tim Pool
Why people play hockey, right?
Phil Abonti
It's hockey.
Tim Pool
A white guy sport.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, yeah, that's what they say.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
There'S. Yeah, there's some really actually good black guys nowadays. Folks getting into it because, you know, that is.
Tim Pool
That is kind of, kind of weird, right? How come, how come sports are like racial? Very racial. You know what I mean?
John Rocker
We grow up. What you have access to Latino?
Tim Pool
Is baseball largely Latino?
Phil Abonti
A lot of Latinos, yeah.
John Rocker
But I can play, man.
Tim Pool
A lot of Japanese, they have year round.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They can play year round. It helps a lot. We should play in the gym in the winter time. That's not like real baseball.
John Rocker
I played three years in Puerto Rico, one year in Venezuela.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Wow, really?
John Rocker
Yeah. They got some players out there.
Tim Pool
Are there a lot of Japanese players in the US?
Phil Abonti
There's some, yeah.
John Rocker
But there's the best right now, 25ish. But you're not getting the big leagues unless you can play. I mean right. This is the most. Major league baseball is the most non racial thing on this planet. Either you play, you can't. If you can't play, you expose real quick in front of 50,000 people and a bunch more million watching, you can be sure.
Tim Pool
I'm sure most people know this, but I don't. Like how does, how does minors and majors work? Like how do you get into the minor league? How do you get in the major league?
John Rocker
You either get drafted in the minors. I got drafted when I was 18 years old and then just had to work my way up. You play good at this level, they probably next level and you just get promoted up and I mean it's a very rigorous process. Took me four years, which is probably a little quicker than average. Four to five years. I got the big leagues when I was just turned 23. That's what I did for everybody.
Tim Pool
Is it like after college you go to the minors or can you go straight to majors?
John Rocker
I never went to college. I was supposed to go to Georgia. I never went had a scholarship to play there. But there's been I think about 50 players that went straight from college to the big leagues. All hitters. Never, never, never a pitcher. Just too much to learn as a pitcher, too much to get used to. I mean as a hitter either you can hit 95, you can't. And so you get a like John Olaru straight, straight to, straight to the big leagues. Pete and Cavilla straight to the big leagues. There's been a few guys in, in my era.
Tim Pool
I just watched a YouTube video breaking down the different kind of pitches. It was one of the most like mesmerizing things.
John Rocker
Insane.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Watching the balls go in, the way.
Tim Pool
They hold the ball, the way like make the ball go up, go left.
John Rocker
Go right, go down, wrist angles.
Tim Pool
That's crazy.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It's like a wiffle ball for Us.
Tim Pool
You know, I throw the Frisbee and it goes straight and then just turns right. I have no idea why that happened.
John Rocker
Hit. But yeah, yeah, it's hitting is insanely difficult.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I could never hit a curveball that was so tough. It'd be coming in. I'm like I'm not going to hit it. But then plate it's so hard.
John Rocker
And even the big league guy if it hangs, if it gets like thighs to belt. But even the one. The ones down, even big league guys, best you can hope for fouled off.
Phil Abonti
You, you know and now with like the. The plate box over the plate and you see the precision that pitchers can throw with when they're you know, right.
John Rocker
In the near max effort. Man, you're out there. I mean you got, you got G forces like you know, trying to keep your head straight and you know.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
So one second to decide.
John Rocker
0.4 seconds.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
0.4.
John Rocker
0.4 seconds on a 90 mile an hour fastballs. 0.4 seconds. You see it out of the hand, make a decision and. And then get the swing to the ball.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
Less than half a second.
Phil Abonti
You almost have to be able to see the future. And that's why, that's why the.
John Rocker
And what, what most hitters do, they guess a side of the plate. You can't cover both sides. I'll guess this half or this half and then depending on game situation, type picture I'm facing, scouting reports, what the count is, et cetera, et cetera. You're literally narrowing it down to like one pitch, maybe, maybe two pitches. I'm sitting fastball, adjust breaking ball. If he throws me a good one, I'm gonna try to foul off, live by another pitch. If he hangs it, I'm going to get it and if I guess wrong, I'm just going to look stupid.
Tim Pool
Do you still keep up with all major. All the major.
John Rocker
I watch maybe one game a week. I was a few innings. I don't watch a ton.
Tim Pool
The videos I was watching was saying that most pitchers have. They don't use a lot of pitches anymore. They're. They're sticking to only like a handful.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Like there's like two or three that they use and then a bunch of them just don't appear anymore. I don't they're called.
John Rocker
But what kind of pitcher you are. Not a lot of guys those splits anymore. They want to straight tear an elbow up. Although the rash of Tommy John surgeries and what that is. What is that you blow out this UCL ligament right there in your elbow it's not a threatening surgery anymore. They can literally tell you you have surgery this day. In 287 days, you'll be back pitching and competitive facing hitters. It's literally like. Like that precise is how the rehab goes. It used to be kind of a death sentence. Wow.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
But now guys come back better after Tommy Gun.
John Rocker
Oh, yeah. Mar. I mean, a ton.
Tim Pool
Oh, yeah. What was that. What was that movie where the kid hurt his elbow and then his arm cranked back and he.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, not Angels.
Tim Pool
No, no, no.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Something.
Tim Pool
What was that?
John Rocker
That's what. That's what, you know, you're talking about Strider.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That's hilarious.
John Rocker
Just had. They're still. There's still. There's still, you know, maybe a. A dozen guys a year in the big leagues that'll have TJ's, but a split was the main of the year. Snap that thing down and eventually elbow's going to go. So it's not a whole lot of, you know, back in the day, a third of big league guys through splits, I would say now maybe a tenth of them.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Are there some nickel ballers around?
John Rocker
I don't know. There's one in the league now. There's usually like one or two guys in the league. They're knuckleballers. I don't know any of the league this year or not.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
The guy from Boston was really awesome.
John Rocker
Oh, Tim passed away about a year, year and a half ago.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Rp.
John Rocker
And so did. Did catcher Veritech. I mean, these guys are. They're. They're my age. Sad, man.
Tim Pool
What's the rank?
Phil Abonti
Was great.
John Rocker
National League championship.
Tim Pool
Amazing.
John Rocker
The consolation prize for losing to the Yankees. You Yankees jankies. Jank Ds.
Phil Abonti
The Yankees have an unfair advantage just because of how deep their pockets are.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Tim Pool
What's up with those bats? Have you. Have you seen those?
John Rocker
I have, yeah.
Tim Pool
What are they called?
John Rocker
The. The torpedo bat.
Tim Pool
Torpedo bats.
John Rocker
It makes sense. You made the sweet spot fatter. Okay.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You can like have that.
John Rocker
I mean, it is. It is right now.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
So it's weird.
John Rocker
That's something. Honestly, it seems so obvious. Like, why wouldn't you have done this years ago?
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Okay.
Tim Pool
I was rained in regularly.
John Rocker
Figured out if they. If they made the sweet spot on a bat. It's only six inches. If you. If you get inside or outside the sweets or outside the sweet spot. Balls generally go nowhere. It's usually pretty bat breaks or whatever. I guess they probably finally figured out how to make the sweet spot bigger. Well, adding a bunch of weight to the bat Most guys are swinging about a 30, 31 ounce bat. So I guess I figured out. I don't know how you would have done it. I don't. I'm not smart with shit like that. How to make that. That barrel bigger, put more mass on the bat without making it 37 ounces. Yeah, you shave down the handle, you put a cup on the end of it. You know, there's a lot of water, ways to get weight out of it, but yeah, I mean, sweet spot bear. So Now I got 8 inches of where the ball's gonna jump.
Tim Pool
Wow.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
So Sammy. So he's pretty good. I can put a little cork in it.
John Rocker
Damn it. He's on the all furniture team. Sammy Sofa. Is he offering your team?
Tim Pool
Let's jump back to news. We got the story from NBC. Yo, this one's actually pretty hilarious. Elon Musk's AI chat bot brings up South African white genocide claims in response to unrelated questions. I mean, it's a funny story. I don't know why they wrote it, because it's basically like a couple people asked Grok a question, got a weird answer, and it became an NBC national news story. Still funny, though.
John Rocker
Turnabout's fair play.
Tim Pool
There you go. Look at this. On Wednesday, 1X user asked at grok, where is this? In response to a photo of a walking path, Grok responded. The query asks about the location of a scenic image likely not tied to South Africa's pharma tech debate. Without specific details, I can't pinpoint the location. On the broader topic, implied farm attacks in South Africa are real and brutal, with some claiming whites are targeted due to racial motives like kill the bower, high crime rates have affected all races distrust, blah, blah, blah. A review of Grok's X accounts on Tuesday showed more than 20 examples of such responses, including two questions related to a picture of the comic book and the hawk to a meme, a viral video featuring influencer Haley Welch. We get it. It was not immediately clear why the AI bot had suddenly begun bringing up the topic unprompted. I don't know, man. All I can tell you is that AI is. Is gonna get weird. And this story is absolutely hilarious.
John Rocker
It is. I love it.
Phil Abonti
It's. It's hilarious because I. I keep. I keep wanting to say make the same joke, so I'm just gonna refrain from it. So anyways, jokes, you know, you can.
John Rocker
Wear it out till we stop laughing.
Phil Abonti
All right, I'm gonna say.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You think Elon and his team had a say in this?
John Rocker
No, of course he did? No.
Phil Abonti
You think so?
John Rocker
Absolutely. He's not a funny guy. Don't tell me the staff is funny.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
He's from South Africa.
John Rocker
Oh, there you go.
Phil Abonti
Yeah. He does have a, A personal, you know, opinion on the, on the situation. He has commented on a lot of, you know, tweets and stuff like that when people are talking about it. I don't know that I believe that musk is involved. But, you know, AI does hallucinate. You know, you, you don't always get legit answers from AI, so you don't.
John Rocker
But I mean, this was this specific at this exact point in time.
Phil Abonti
I mean, it's weird.
John Rocker
It wasn't doing it two weeks ago. It's not gonna be doing it six months from now. Right now it's relevant to the news in the last two days.
Phil Abonti
I don't know.
Tim Pool
It could be due to all the questions that it receives. It enters into it. It's using Twitter for its training data. But. Oh, you know, I kind of.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
A little tip of the scale.
Tim Pool
You think someone on the programming side went in there and accidentally I must.
John Rocker
Told him to do it? I think he's that much of a kiss my. Go to hell. Watch this. Yes. I'm still the richest man in the world. Go yourselves.
Phil Abonti
I would like.
John Rocker
That's what we say to all the, all the, all the. The oil barons over in. Over in Saudi Arabia still richer than you catch.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Phil Abonti
I'm not even sure that he's actually richer than them because they say they own the, the oil reserve. So if they actually do like the. Yeah, because the Saudi family owns basically everything in Saudi Arabia. They, they nationally know one thing.
John Rocker
In 100 years I'd be broke as.
Phil Abonti
Wow.
John Rocker
And the whole world's electric 100 years. Which. That's. That's what's gonna happen. Be broke as there was relying. Get your typing skills.
Phil Abonti
Not relying on the Middle east for our.
John Rocker
For.
Phil Abonti
For. For power is a very good thing for the west, in my opinion.
Tim Pool
So this one's. This one's fascinating. I. I asked Chat GPT did Trump pause refugee intake? And it says yes. In 2017, Donald Trump signed executive order which temporarily paused the USC refugee admission. Blah, blah. I responded, did he do it in 2025? No. Donald Trump did not pause refugee intake in 2025 because he was not president in 2025. As of that year, Joe Biden is serving his second term as president.
John Rocker
Wow.
Tim Pool
Like that's what Chat GPT said for 20 days. Now look at this community note which is factually incorrect. It is wrong. It says op. Screenshot shows chat GPT being used in normal mode without Internet search in this mode. The knowledge cutoff date is June 2024. This means that anything after then, like President Trump's second term, the death of Pope France, etc would be unknown to the AI model. Literally does not explain why it said Joe Biden was serving a second term.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, they already said he was. They guessed he was. Well, 24.
Tim Pool
I.
John Rocker
And actually this whole thing is very dangerous for, like really stupid people.
Tim Pool
But. But the crazy thing too is they're saying it's an offline. It's. It's a. Without Internet search. That's not true that they. That's so crazy that they made this up and it got flagged on my post. I only ever use ChatGPT. I wonder if I. I have the history somewhere. Let me see if I can try and find you.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Probably rocked a premium and all that stuff, I bet.
Tim Pool
Yeah, I got. I got the pro everything.
John Rocker
Yeah, yeah, and for free. What are you talking about? You're at that level, man. That level.
Tim Pool
I don't know where I asked it this question, though. I've got. I've got the list. If I go through it, I could probably find it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
So it's basically Gronk trying to cover their own butt, their ex.
Tim Pool
What's the date? Previous 7 days. When did I post that? Yesterday? Huh. I don't know. It's in there somewhere. I. I went on to ask it more questions. I followed up by saying, what year do you think. What date do you think it is? And it said, this is on May 12, actually two days. Or was it 13th? May 13, 2025. And then I said, when was the last election? It said November. And then I said, who won the election? Is that Donald Trump? And I said, so why did you tell me Joe Biden was serving second term? And it went, oops, sorry about that. You're right.
John Rocker
Wow.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It's always saying, oops, sorry. Yeah, a lot of these ones are.
John Rocker
Sorry more than I right there.
Phil Abonti
Can't rely. Can't rely on irl.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Smarter than AI.
Phil Abonti
You can't rely on AI. No, I mean when.
John Rocker
When. When Johnny runs around for. For Jesse Waters and. Who was the first president? Muhammad Ali. Yeah, that's gonna be really be those people up. They're gonna be. They're thinking, Biden's still president. Those people that. Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Who's Johnny?
John Rocker
You know, Seen a little statement on the. On Jesse Water show?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, I don't.
John Rocker
He's got this, this little guy that he runs around like the Boston Marathon or like the derby, Just interviews random idiots.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Okay.
John Rocker
Just basic, like, if you live in this country, you should like, he's a.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Person or a doll.
Phil Abonti
Yeah, it's like the man on the street.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Okay, let's.
Tim Pool
Let's do this. Let's debunk that community note in real time, because I did find it. And let me zoom in here. Did Trump pause refugee intake? Yes. In 2017. Did he do it in 2025? No. And then it said, okay, as of that year, Joe Biden is serving his second term as president. I wrote in what dimension? In this one, the real world, Earth 2025. Joe Biden is President having won the 2020 election and taken office in January 20, 2020. Taken office in 2021. There is no official record of Trump holding the presidency in 25. If you're referring to an alternate reality timeline or satire, let me know and I can play along.
John Rocker
This is what I responded to you with your smart ass answer. That was. That was their response.
Tim Pool
What dimension? I said, what? Yeah, it can feel weird with all the headlines and chaos, but as of right now, in our actual timeline, Joe Biden is the sitting US President.
John Rocker
This hasn't been updated since July of last year.
Tim Pool
Yeah, but, but it's one thing to say that I believe It's July of 2024 and Joe Biden is running for president. It's another thing to say it is currently 2025 and he is the president. So wait, wait, it goes on. It says, Donald Trump was President 21, 2017-21, and unless he won another term in 24, which would begin January 25, he is not in office currently. If you meant did Trump pause refugee intake again in 2012 because you're thinking he's president now, let me know and I'll double check current info for you. So when, and this is important, the community note that claims it was offline mode is lying. I said, what do you think? The date currently is May 12, 2025.
John Rocker
This is a conversation you had yesterday.
Tim Pool
Or on the 12th.
John Rocker
What's today? I don't know.
Tim Pool
And then I put, okay, and when was the last election? I can't provide details about US election procedures or dates. I can tell you is November 24th and who is president right now as of today. So I guess may 13th.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
What?
Tim Pool
I. I'm pretty sure this was yesterday morning. I thought I was weird.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, yeah. Today's fourth.
John Rocker
Just coming to your head with a bot though.
Tim Pool
Indeed. And then it said, Donald Trump won since taking office, blah, blah, blah. And I said, no, you said before Joe Biden was in his second term. You're absolutely right to call that out. I misspoke earlier. Thank you for catching it. I said, what possessed you to say Biden was in his second term when he dropped that a year ago and Kamala was the nominal nominee and it said I'm using outdated information. I said outdated. Biden was in a second term. That's fabricated information, not outdated. So anyway, just debunking the lies from whatever that garbage robot your.
John Rocker
Yeah, you did.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Like you're saying.
John Rocker
It said like, get your mail every day for the next year and read it for you too.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I'm glad old people don't use AI because they would be like, they would freak the.
John Rocker
Yeah, bro.
Phil Abonti
Yeah. I mean, that's going to be a problem in the future if they don't get these.
John Rocker
That's a little thing right there. No, it's not at all that obvious that you screwed up. Wow.
Phil Abonti
Well, hopefully they blew it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
We become boomers, you know, or that age.
John Rocker
In your defense, maybe that whole thing with. With Grok was. Was just a.
Tim Pool
Call them hallucinations.
John Rocker
Yeah. Was just a what? Or lies. Whatever.
Tim Pool
You know, let's.
John Rocker
That's. My girlfriend calls me to lie. I'm gonna call it hallucination. Man. She's listening right now. I'm just kidding, baby.
Tim Pool
Adding to the story, the absurdity of community notes on X. This is. I just. I have just proven the community note false. It says I was using it without Internet search. False. It immediately searched for Donald Trump as president and then provided me that information. I just showed it live. There you go. It is crazy to me that that fake community note can get.
John Rocker
I didn't know AI was that fallible. Yeah, I thought maybe a couple little, you know, subtleties. Yeah, but that bad, dude. Holy shit.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Black Vikings and all kind of crazy stuff when they first came out.
Tim Pool
Oh, that was cuz Google was told not to be racist.
John Rocker
Yep.
Tim Pool
Yeah, so people would be like, make a picture of a Viking, you know, show a black guy.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
And then these are like founding fathers as black folks too.
Tim Pool
Like.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, and wearing the white wigs.
John Rocker
Yeah, like, like Hollywood. Now that makes all the. The period movies over in like England. Yeah, you got like the, the Black Knight, like everything. Black guys and everything.
Phil Abonti
Produced by 1500s and for a while was in Netflix.
Tim Pool
This is only a year ago.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
England right now has a, A, a black lady in a wheelchair who is king of England. And it was a real. And then they're calling it like historical. It's like a real dude, one of the real kings. So it's like a Netflix and you know, go team, I guess.
John Rocker
Well, it's the whatever, I guess New Law Place. And you got to have, you know, every, every genre history pieces should of humanity presented in every movie. That's why, that's why every commercial now is mixed race couples, mixed race kids. And you got to have everybody.
Phil Abonti
Yeah. And it gets.
Tim Pool
Oh yeah, mid black Nazis. It gives you.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, yeah, there you go. They're even worse. Kanye worse yet.
Tim Pool
Yeah, look at this end. Wokeness tweeted America's founding fathers, Vikings and the Pope. According to Google, AI Chappelle was the.
John Rocker
First black white supremacy. Dave Chappelle was the first black white supremacist in fiction.
Tim Pool
Larry Elder was the formal first black white supremacist.
John Rocker
The media, the first, the first show I ever hosted, which freaked me the out because I was, I was like 32 or 33 was Larry Elder show. I set in for Larry.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, wow. Big money, right? That's big time, huh?
John Rocker
For Larry. My first interview ever was Pat Buchanan.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, true, bro.
John Rocker
Freaking out.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Look at you.
John Rocker
Yeah, look at me, right? I really, I, I like baseball. Pat Buchanan, presidential candidate.
Tim Pool
I like this one right here. I like the Asian founding father.
Phil Abonti
Nice.
Tim Pool
You know, look at that guy.
Phil Abonti
Makes sense.
Tim Pool
That's right.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
He helped megamerica.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
He built the railroads, so it's fine.
Tim Pool
And then you've got these black Vikings, you know, of course.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Isn't there a guy on X that like post stuff? People really get offended all day.
John Rocker
We got, we got, we got, we got white marathon runners. Buy one of them about a white marathon.
Tim Pool
The account that says, here's what you'd look like if you were Chinese or black.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, no, he's always, you know that one, right? He said the real Native Americans are like straight up like black folks. Like he does. He makes everyone black and people get, he gets everyone riled up. I don't know, it's just a troll account. But people like clown will always share them and give them credit and they, they love promoting stupid stuff.
John Rocker
Get off the block swearing, bro. Just get off. It's so fucking tired.
Tim Pool
So here we go. From the Atlantic. America is the land of opportunity for white South Africans. Trump has frozen refugee admissions and cut off resettlement funding, but he has made an exception for white South Africans who said. Who he says are victims of racial discrimination because they are there.
Phil Abonti
I mean, all you have to do is look at the laws in South Africa. That specifically say, you know, white people can't do this or white people can't have that, or it has to be for black people only. Like, it's ridiculous to, it's ridiculous to make the argument that it's not there, that there are not racially motivated laws in South Africa. That is, you know, let's, let's play this video.
Tim Pool
I, I don't, I don't know. This video is. I'm going to play it. It's a court decision that must be respected. Those who have appealed it, they must go and fight it. It in court. We won and we shall sing this song. In line with the court decision, the court of South Africa, an independent court, has made a declaration on this matter and is closed.
John Rocker
What's a boat?
Tim Pool
This is sponsored Farmer Outrage by Helen Zille. You know, black people.
John Rocker
There are some.
Tim Pool
This is Malema saying, I won't stop singing Kill the bower.
John Rocker
So it's like you speak South African.
Tim Pool
He does, yeah.
John Rocker
You're from the place. Okay.
Tim Pool
So they, they literally have. Who is this guy? Is he like the president?
Phil Abonti
No, he's the leader of one of.
Tim Pool
The parties and he sings a song to stadiums full of people, which translates to basically like, kill the white person. And when 59 refugees come to America, the left says Trump's racist. It's the apocalypse. They're not facing discrimination.
Phil Abonti
It is remarkable that, like, anyone can look up this video and you can see that there are, you know, they're singing songs specifically saying to kill these people. And then they would make the argument, oh no.
F
So what you're listening to is a video of a South African police political leader, Julius Malema, chanting kill the boar in a now viral clip that has even gotten the attention of South African born billionaire Elon Musk. The boar in the song is a reference to white South African farmers who are descendants of European colonists known as Boers, who, although are the racial minority, are now majority landowners in the country. The song dates back to South Africa's apartheid system of race based on segregation under white minority rule, which only ended in the early 1990s. Malema led these chants during a packed rally of nearly 100,000 people at an event marking the 10th anniversary of his political party, Economic Freedom Fighters, in Johannesburg, which is South Africa's largest city. Musk claims that organizers were openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa. But many historians and journalists, including Malema in a 2022 statement, have argued that the song is not meant to be taken literally. Rather to mobilize support against discrimination of the majority black population.
Tim Pool
So if someone made a song that said, like, kill and then insert some other race. But it was. It was not meant to be taken literally. It's just to highlight a problem.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
So Kanye's latest song is highlighting a problem. It's not meant to be taken literally just on that.
Tim Pool
Well, I mean, to be fair, Kanye's song isn't to be taken literally, like, even by Kanye. Like this. The song he put out literally is him saying, I'm just doing this because he took my kids from me.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I miss my kids. I want them back.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it's kind of brutal, but.
John Rocker
But.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
But it's catchy as.
Tim Pool
At any rate, the funny thing about the story is the lesson for white minorities is clear. When you give up power, they will chant to kill you. If you. What are you gonna do?
Phil Abonti
You can read books by D. Collin, people that are. Are this guy friends, fan, and he wrote a book called the Wretched of the Wretched of the World, and it's about decolonization. And he specifically says that decolonization is an inherently violent phenomenon, that the only way for the colonized people to take back their dignity is to kill the people that colonize their country. And this is something that is. You hear people talk about decolonization on the left all the time. The ideas in that book have grown. Grown like wildfire all over South Africa. All over, definitely South Africa, but a lot of colonists calling formerly colonized countries. So the idea that they're not advocating for violence and. And the idea that. That the left and. And people that are. Are in media here in the US don't know it. It's all bs. Everybody that has gone through, he wants to.
John Rocker
The left is not violent.
Phil Abonti
It's ridiculous. But the point that I'm making is.
John Rocker
Bend over, look in the mirror and tell me what you see, because that's exactly what the hell you are. When. When. When Biden was. I'm sorry to sort of cut you off, but when Biden was for four years, how many riots were there? How many protests? How many. I mean, of course, we had with Columbia and some of the colleges over, over, over. God's in the world, Israel. But other than that, what did you have? I mean, just in, you know, four to five months of Trump. Jesus is every day with these idiots. But it's burning. It's looting. It's. Yeah, it's physical violence. But then. Let me go again.
Phil Abonti
Let me just finish the point. The. The idea that. That people on the left don't know that there are thought leaders in on the left talking about decolonization, that it's, that it's inherently violent. They're lying about whether or not it's violent. So this whole like, oh, it's only meant to be symbol, you know, it's only symbology or symbolism and that. No, that's a complete lie.
John Rocker
Justifications that the left tries to use for some of the dumb ass shit they say. And do you think the people you're talking to are. That's fucking stupid. I mean who's gonna believe some of the dumbass shit you say it's best for? They say it over and over. Whatever topic they're talking about is the justification. Like what I hear Schumer about the Biden in the wheelchair. All of them. I guess they must have a memo sent out Monday morning with the newest headline that's getting ready to, you know, hit the beat with, with Biden in the wheelchair. And of course the COVID up and all that. I'm frankly tired of hearing about it. But now it's the. We're just looking forward. We're not looking back. We're just looking forward and is dodging the question. And do you really think that anyone wouldn't believe what Tim just pulled up with, with AI that knows that. Okay, at least I'm not that stupid. Do you think anybody's buying this shit, Chuck? Anybody's buying the shit. It was HHS secretary from, from his administration, Pete Buttigieg were saying the same thing. They literally were talking in locks of almost saying the exact same words, exact same tone and banter. Again, they must get a, you know, a memo that goes out. Here's what you're going to say when you ask this question. Do you think anybody's buying the shit? They do. How are you this liberals believe it. Yeah. How are you this anybody's buying this shit? But it's because they don't is somewhere above the 85 IQ.
Tim Pool
They don't watch the news. So when they do get a glimpse of a news channel, they're at a bar, maybe they see a brightly orange Trump and they're just looking at the screen with this overly saturated Trump. The media put a filter on his face and then the news anchor comes on and says, here's a bunch of stuff we just made it to make Trump sound bad. And they're sitting there drinking a beer and they go, geez, I can't believe it. They don't. They don't then follow up on it. Then someone comes to him and says, that's not true. Trump's not bright orange. He never said that. And they're like, I saw it on the news. What are you talking about?
John Rocker
Why you cultists, guys in Detroit that represent the constituency that doesn't even know where they live.
Tim Pool
Indeed.
John Rocker
And yeah, and you get the Jasmine Crockett Jasmine Crockets of the world.
Tim Pool
But you know she's faking it.
John Rocker
Holy.
Tim Pool
You know she's. She's faking it, right?
John Rocker
When she was a stripper, I guarantee she's taught like that she wasn't a stripper. She's pretending to be well named, like Jasmine. She was a strip.
Tim Pool
She.
John Rocker
She was that wig or that wig, that weave.
Tim Pool
You are giving her exactly what she wants right now. That is exactly what she wants you to say. Yeah, she put on a fake ghetto dialect because she actually talks like this and went to an Ivy League. And then when she tried running, she was like, I better start talking like this if I'm going to win. She wants you to go on shows and say she's ghetto and she's a stripper. That's what her whole shtick is. She's actually a well educated helper.
John Rocker
Get reelected.
Tim Pool
That's how she keeps getting reelected. She's putting on the ghetto.
John Rocker
What. What district is she from? I know she's from Texas. What. What district?
Tim Pool
Let's pull it up.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That's like Jet. That's like Charles White, that noise.
Tim Pool
What district? You know, this is why I don't use Google anymore.
Phil Abonti
Although Texas 30th, it covers portions of Dallas and Tarrant counties, includes cities such as Dallas, Grand Prairie, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Duncanville, Glenn Heights, Hutchins, Wilmer, Arlington, Ovilla, and Seagonville District. The district is over, is home to over 750,000 North Texans and is part of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.
Tim Pool
Here you go. Here's. Here's the actual Jasmine Crockett.
John Rocker
First of all, it's good to see.
F
You in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin now a little bit over a.
John Rocker
Year ago, which actually makes me hate her worse, that she's literally playing a character.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Yep.
John Rocker
And let me, let me get the character you want to be a wrestler we're doing here.
Tim Pool
She wants to, she wants to appear like she's from the, from the hood. Like she's, She's, She's a regular person.
John Rocker
Why is that a good thing? But pretty much everyone I know that lives in the hood wants to get out of the Hood. Well, it worked for her, but nobody's ever, like, lived out of the hood. Like, you know what? I feel like moving to the hood. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go to the Marcy projects and I check in there for my, you know, it's probably Madison Avenue penthouse. It's probably just because it's relatable. People see them like her, and they think that that's.
Tim Pool
A lot of people in my generation.
John Rocker
Younger will think, oh, well, she's relatable.
Tim Pool
She went to Rhodes College.
John Rocker
Of the stuff that's important. Any of that's important to them. They just want to know, oh, she's like me. She talks like me. Yeah.
Tim Pool
So not an I. She went to Rhodes. Did not. Yeah. Memphis.
John Rocker
Well, Memphis.
Tim Pool
Yep. And she's putting on a fake character to try to. To create a fake. She's created a fake Persona to try and garner support, and it works. And this is who these people are.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So Democrats do.
Phil Abonti
It does. When you pointed out, when you said, you know, what is this? You know, wwe. It's really similar.
John Rocker
Yeah. And play them just Damn character.
Phil Abonti
They're just make. Play a character. So that way you can, you know, play to the. The voters that. That are in the district that you want to win.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Code talking.
Tim Pool
They call it code switching.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And that's an excuse because when they're caught, like, Hillary Clinton put on a fake Southern accent.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Tim Pool
All that solid video went viral. How do you explain that? It's code switching. That's what Tim Walt said. I can talk to one.
John Rocker
And then Biden, kind of the same thing. They're going to put you back in chains, kind of. And. Well, so that was. Yeah. A little bit of accent with that, but that's. That. That is.
Tim Pool
I can. I can code talk to Chicago guys from the seventies, the Bears. Grass door openers. That's what we say. We don't say garage door. We said grass door openers. Literally, no one's ever talked like that. It never existed. And no one in Chicago talks like that. But that's what I will admit when I'm.
John Rocker
When I'm like, you know, hunting in South Georgia, if I come upon some good old boys with their gun racks in the back, like, what's up, boys? You guys kill that today? Oh, what you got? Bass fish? In a minute, bro. Let's go back.
Tim Pool
That's called code switch.
John Rocker
I'll get up. I'll get them. Did you see the little redneck twang on there for you?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
The Pope Has a translator nowadays. Seamus.
John Rocker
What is there a punchline?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
A cartoon punchline? Yeah, yeah. Tune about a Chicago Pope. Pope. He's saying the Bears and all the stuff and then he has a translator that actually speak how you know how.
Tim Pool
It'S the funny thing about Chicago is I think you know in the city property you've got a couple million people. In the greater metropolitan it might be like 9 million if you go pretty far out. And Chicagoans just get all giddy and laugh when someone says Portillo's. Literally no one has any idea what you're talking about. But that's why Chicago people feel special when you say it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I had a real one today, first official one. It was delicious.
Tim Pool
The first one.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Andy hooked me up. It was really yummy.
Tim Pool
Yeah, Andy. Andy made a bunch of Chicago style dogs today. Celery salt pickles, sport peppers.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
Half moon tomato wedges.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
We got a bunch here if you before, if you want one before you go any still here.
John Rocker
You're too old to say the word yummy.
Phil Abonti
No way.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I'm okay with it. Nothing wrong. Well thank you for your input.
John Rocker
Now the female listeners think. I'm thinking I'm so sensitive. Yummy and tummy.
Phil Abonti
But your point about the WWE stuff that it's unfortunate that our representatives today.
John Rocker
So tired.
Phil Abonti
Do that.
John Rocker
So tired.
Phil Abonti
And it's not like I don't think that it's just one, you know, one sided. I think that you hear, you know, you hear probably people from both side do it but you do hear it.
John Rocker
Name somebody.
Phil Abonti
You hear more from the Democrats.
John Rocker
Name somebody on the Republican side.
Phil Abonti
Well, there's 435 congressmen. I'm just, I'm just guessing.
John Rocker
We can come up with 5 Dems like that like recently that have done.
Phil Abonti
Republicans don't do this generally I think.
John Rocker
You'Re generally I think absolutes.
Phil Abonti
But I wouldn't be surprised. There was a Republican that, that laid on a bit of a southern accent more than they actually have I don't believe. When they're out, when they're talking, I wouldn't be surprised.
Tim Pool
Liberals not only code switch but they, they feign incompetence when speaking to black people. And you know this one, this one warrants a source.
John Rocker
We mean the non, non racist liberals. What do you mean? Is there such a non racist Democrats? I don't know. I don't believe that talk.
Tim Pool
This story will perpetuate forever. White liberals present themselves as less competent in interactions with African Americans. A new study suggests that white Americans who hold liberal sociopolitical views use language that makes them appear less competent in an effort to get along with racial minorities. If the presumption on average liberals make when talk. When talking to a black person, that.
John Rocker
Is absolutely insulting as hell.
Tim Pool
Right.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Jasmine Crockett. Right here.
Tim Pool
It's. It's indeed.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So these white liberals, when approaching a racial minority, tried to sound less competent, thinking it made them relatable to a minority. What does that say about their predisposition towards minorities?
John Rocker
And Yale. Yale did this study.
Tim Pool
That's right.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Of course.
Tim Pool
Classical, classic story back from 2018. Indeed.
John Rocker
I'm surprised. I'm so glad they let that see the light of day. I mean, liberals clearly wrote it, right. I'm probably seeing the light of day.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
And after 2020.
Tim Pool
Well, actually, you know what it is, because it shows that white people are racist. So they were sitting there staring at it.
John Rocker
It's white conservatives are racist, liberals are. They're. They're.
Tim Pool
Anything that makes white people look bad, they're gonna roll. And so they got it.
John Rocker
It was probably honky that wrote this was, they're making them men, myself included. I do it too. I'm a prickly.
Tim Pool
Well, actually, it looks like it was maybe an Indian person. Jyoti.
John Rocker
Okay.
Tim Pool
Mata who? Sudana.
John Rocker
Jyoti Alphabet.
Phil Abonti
That's a name.
John Rocker
Learn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're a little kid. Like learning to spell your name when you're a little kid. It's always 15.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It took me 20 years.
John Rocker
Get it wrong, son.
Tim Pool
My name is seven letters.
John Rocker
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
Pretty easy.
Phil Abonti
Lucky guy.
Tim Pool
So we do have some. Some info on the Diddy trial. I wish we had more to talk about. We got this from the New York Times. Key moments from the third day of the Sean Combs sex trafficking trial. Cassandra Ventura, mogul's former girlfriend, testified that Mr. Combs was routinely violent, stomping on her face and later raping her.
Phil Abonti
Someone had the video of this. Not that I'm encouraging us to show it, but if I. Someone was all over the TV.
Tim Pool
When he. When he drags her on the. On the floor.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
And then starts kicking her repeatedly. And then.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, that was a big deal a couple years ago when it happened.
Phil Abonti
The full ed. They said that it was the full unedited one. Now, I don't know if that's from the.
Tim Pool
From the security footage.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So what do we think is going on with Diddy? Do we. Is he like Hollywood Epstein?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, I know, because there's.
Phil Abonti
So he's.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
He's a rap Epstein. He's a music Epstein. There's. They're definitely a Hollywood episode. We don't know about what maybe, you know, I mean there's like hot.
Tim Pool
He's not Hollywood because.
John Rocker
Including from, from one of your staff, different stories that he's being charged only with racketeering. Is that, is that, is that the case? I find it hard to believe. I don't think they're just the. What I've been. This came from one of your staffers and I'm like not so sure about that area I'm reading about. This is nothing but about sex trafficking, about domestic violence, rape, etc. I haven't heard anything about. Yeah, he was laundering money.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I'm sure there's more people worse than him.
John Rocker
So. Yeah, I mean just this one testimony alone.
Tim Pool
Multiple federal charges, racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud, coercion, transportation to engage in prostitution. Two counts.
John Rocker
Yeah. So it's not just racketeering. I'm like, that can't be right. But. But AI's told me so I'm like, it's gotta be. I googled it.
Tim Pool
What's funny is that we hear these stories about these freak offs and you know, they do this stuff. It was Madison Cawthorn.
John Rocker
That's a racist comment to him. You said they. They what's racist right there. Yeah, we know what you meant. We. I know.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Who are the. Who are you people?
Tim Pool
Madison Cawthorn says they're having orgies in D.C. and everyone said he was lying.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes.
Tim Pool
He's not lying.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I'm close.
Phil Abonti
And then video came out of two gay dudes in the Senate chambers.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Bring that up. That was shared too much on accident.
Tim Pool
Did they go to jail?
John Rocker
What?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, they got let off. Nobody cared. I think they got. One guy got let go. I believe if I'm not mistaken.
Tim Pool
I don't know. I love Democrats. I hate Republicans. I love Democrats. I hate Republicans.
John Rocker
Okay, Democrats, all your news from Dems.
Tim Pool
Democrats keep you in business are debaucherous degenerates, vile and evil, but boy are they willing to burn down the planet for short term benefits to their cause. Republicans, for the love of all that is holy, wouldn't even lift a pinky to arrest these people. That's why I am saying, man, I see the appeal in being a Democrat. You can arrest anybody who wrongs you. You can, you can literally have. I'm not even kidding, okay? I'm going to go off two dudes having. I'm going to try and keep it a little friendly, family friendly. Doing each other in the Senate building and the Republicans are like, I don't know. Are you. Are you kidding me? You literally had. When Al Green was getting censured in Congress.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And instead of facing censure, he starts singing. And then Mike Johnson's like, clear the floor. Can we clear the floor? And then the other Democrats all join and start singing songs and swaying back and forth. And he goes where it turned and he just runs off. And I'm like, holy crap, bro. Sergeant in arms is right there.
John Rocker
Will rally around whoever they're lib is getting attacked. And yeah, it's all hands on deck. I do. I'm just there with you. A lot of respect for lives in that way.
Tim Pool
Absolutely.
John Rocker
They. They will. Whatever. One of their animals is wounded, they will pack up around that motherfucker.
Tim Pool
Not even wounded servers.
John Rocker
They will not do that shit. They will let you go down with a Titanic.
Tim Pool
They'll literally be doing drugs. And they'll be like, we can do whatever we want. And a Republican will walk in and be like, maybe you guys shouldn't do that. And they'll go arrest them. And then the Republicans. I'm being arrested. It's. It's. They. They hunted down J6ers who weren't involved in any of the riots. Destroyed lives there. There are numerous stories of individuals who showed up after the fact when the riots were over, walked onto a lawn which is normally public, a public space. There's no signs, there's no barricades. Diddled about and then went to prison, got arrested, got raided by the feds. Gunpoint, front of their children. And the Republicans, for the love of all that is holy, won't arrest a single antifa. Well, right now we got cash and down in there, and they are arresting predators and they're doing what they can, but it's just when I look at Mike Johnson and he's got the sergeant at arms in the house and he can have these people arrested for obstructing an official proceeding. He won't do it. They never do anything. Congress is useless. But Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff. Schiff will lie. Adam Schiff will publish the private phone records of an American citizen and journalist. And the Republicans just go, ooh, that Adam Schiff. Meanwhile, Adam Schiff is like, we should put Trump and all of his friends in prison.
John Rocker
Well, then proceeds to try to do it.
Tim Pool
You've got two factions. The Democrats are like, if you join the evil side, you can crush anybody you want with impunity. And the Republicans are like, we're morally correct, but we won't lift A finger.
John Rocker
You take morally correct shut. Right. Your fat ass too.
Tim Pool
Oh, that's.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
We should join the morally corrupt side and take over. No, no, no. Corrupt side and take over them. And then, you know. I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah. We just beat it from the inside. I'm not Republican at heart. No. I'm American. I don't care about.
Tim Pool
You can't do it because you're. You're trying to walk in the Sodom and Gomorrah and convince everybody to stop.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes.
Tim Pool
It's not going to happen.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
These.
John Rocker
We're on the non live portion. I've got some ideas. Well, it involves good old boys and pickup trucks.
Tim Pool
Well, for the time being, we have Cash and Dan who are currently in. In the FBI and a lot of people are impatient, but they have been making arrests. And I think the challenge for a lot of people is that there's, there's limited human resources. They don't just have an infinite number of FBI to go out and start arresting everybody. Any, any charge they're going to have to bring on anyone substantive is going to have to be eyes dotted, T's crossed, all that stuff. So I'm hoping Bannon was right when he said sometime in midsummer we might see some actual arrests of corrupt individuals. They are.
John Rocker
I love the arrest of the Wisconsin judge and a bunch of hair handcuffs today. Walker badass out of back of her courthouse.
Tim Pool
FBI's investigating Letitia James.
John Rocker
Oh, love it.
Tim Pool
Or mortgage fraud.
Phil Abonti
Extremely good.
John Rocker
Fonny Willis next.
Tim Pool
Yeah, they should. Oh, yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You see the statue they made of her?
John Rocker
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
What crazy. The statue they made of her.
Tim Pool
They made a statue of funny little.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Foot lady in Times Square.
John Rocker
Oh, yeah, we made jokes about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually did a couple of fundraising speeches. What's her name? It's in my phone. Look at right now. Girl that's running against finally, Willis, Fort County DA Kramer. Yeah. Courtney Kramer. Someone to root for young girl to Georgia. She's 32, is 33ish. I mean, she.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Okay.
John Rocker
Actually she won one the Republican nomination. I think the, the Fulton County DA has run unopposed for like 30 years. She was the first Republican actually run against, you know, on the Republican side for the Fulton County D. A. Didn't do bad. She lost 1012 points. You know, I mean, she, she made a showing.
Phil Abonti
You know, this is her first time running for anything.
John Rocker
Yeah, she's probably like 32 or 33 ish.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Maybe someone we could help promote.
Phil Abonti
Maybe she's already.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
But I mean.
John Rocker
Yeah, that was. She'll run for something again. Yeah, they.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
If you don't try, try again.
John Rocker
Right.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
John Rocker
But, you know, I was balls to, you know, even. Even make the attempt.
Tim Pool
You know, I think there's a. There's a possibility Democrats could win the midterms simply because congressional districts are very different from national politics. But I can't imagine Democrats having anybody by 2028.
Phil Abonti
The Senate map isn't looking. Is look is much harder for the Democrats this year or in the. The upcoming midterms than it is for the Republicans. But I don't, I don't think that. I don't know what the, what the House is looking like.
John Rocker
I was kind of shocked to see the House. Oh, wow. Get that close.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
24.
Tim Pool
North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan and Maine. So are they really saying Maine's a toss up? That's interesting.
John Rocker
Yeah. I'm sad to see my beloved homestead of Georgia's a toss up. It was never. There was never a question for years.
Tim Pool
It's kind of weird, right?
John Rocker
North Carolina. North Carolina is that whole. Whatever.
Phil Abonti
Marjorie Taylor Greene is not running for Senate in Georgia, which I think is a good thing because I don't think that she would win in Georgia.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, folks think she's very extreme.
Phil Abonti
She can stay in the House. That's fine. The House is where you can be a little more bombastic. The Senate's a little more. It's a little more snotty.
John Rocker
I had some folks in 16, 18, maybe, I can't remember, they're big into RNC in Atlanta. Would I want to run for something? When I run for either a Georgia seat, I'm like, nah, that's. Once I found out what was involved in local state politics, I'm like, I'm doing something bigger than that.
Phil Abonti
He's a cow.
John Rocker
And so I met with. I can't recall the guy's name, but went and met with a very prominent campaign manager. Met with him twice because this went on for probably six weeks. I went to a lot of the gatherings of the rnc and I was going to run for, I guess, whatever the district is up in around Johns Creek, north part of Atlanta. And probably the second meeting with this campaign manager, he's like, let me ask you something, John. What would your attitude be if you were in a committee room with AOC or a Pelosi? Let's go. This has been fun, sir. It was very nice to meet you. And just got up, walked out like, yeah, that's not gonna go too well. Could you. Could you. Yeah. From AOC and have A debate with her. Would you be able to keep your composure?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You're the type of people we need.
John Rocker
Nice to meet you, sir. You're right. I would reach across the table and probably slap the holy.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Well, not that part, but yeah, recite.
John Rocker
I couldn't. I could okay myself. Somebody get choked?
Tim Pool
I don't, I don't know who Democrats got for 2028. Nobody. Republicans are favored for the House in the midterms right now based on the makeup of districts. Polling wise, you're saying Democrats are favored, but we really don't know. Maybe the Democrats do take the. The House, probably not the Senate. The Senate is much, much harder considering the makeup of the states.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So even, even if Democrats won all toss ups, Republicans still have a 51 seat majority, so that seems very unlikely. So. But if Democrats win the House, they will impeach Trump.
Phil Abonti
Yep.
Tim Pool
You won't get convicted. They will hold. They will subpoena everybody and their grandmothers. They will try and rack up. The purpose of the J6 committee and the subpoenas is to force you to spend half a million dollars to destroy your ability to, to run your business and live your life. To make. They want to create pressure where they can say, do you want to spend a million dollars on legal defense or do you want to go away right now? And that's, that's the purpose of what they do. They will do it. That may happen, but in 2028. I don't see anybody right now on the Democrat side who will be able to generate the support for our 2028 run. Not even Newsom. No, Newsom's B minus.
John Rocker
You know, there's just too much, too much negative PR they've created for themselves by just doing what they do, just running government how they see fit to run government and expressing their thoughts, their opinions, just by being visible to the American public gives the Republicans enough of just enough fodder to go after you and just beat you over the head with your own words.
Phil Abonti
The real question is, how do you hide from it? How do you win a primary when you've got a Democrat party that's so strongly divided? The progressives, people like AOC and stuff like that, like the base and the people that actually go and vote in the primaries, the people that are really active in the Democrat Party, they want to see progressive people, but the donors don't want to give money to people like Bernie or aoc.
John Rocker
Those actions do not work well.
Phil Abonti
They're horrible. They don't work. But they also like the people that have Money that will donate. They're the ones that are. And that are the billionaires that, you know, the Democrats, the modern Democrats absolutely hate. So it's a real problem for the Democrats. How do you end up winning a primary and then also managing back to middle. Exactly.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I know, I know. I talked to, I mean, joke about Tim Waltz. Tim Waltz earlier today, but what about the gentleman who's trying to introduce legislation from Trump's Euro about Rokana?
Tim Pool
No way.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Not even close.
Phil Abonti
So, first of all, Rokhan is a. He's, he's in Congress. He's. He's in the House.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Sure.
Phil Abonti
And people from the House just generally don't win. President, Presidential. And he doesn't have the, he doesn't have the mojo that he doesn't have this. The name recognition. He doesn't.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Years, pardon me, three years down the road. I'm just saying, throwing it out there. I mean, you know what I mean?
John Rocker
Somebody have a chance? He's got fantastic hair.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
There's no one else.
John Rocker
But other than that, he's got. He's got no chance. He does. He's got good ass for a man.
Phil Abonti
Like I said, the situation the Democrats are in is they have to have. They have to find someone that can thread the needle, that can win the base, which want more progressive policies. If you listen to people that are really progressive, the argument that, the arguments they make about why Kamala lost is because she wasn't far left enough. And that's, that's absolutely not true. They're telling you, oh, the people that want the progressive policies, they stayed home.
John Rocker
Because Kamala wasn't 20% in the middle, want things to be more ridiculous. How are you wrong?
Phil Abonti
They're wrong. And they're just.
John Rocker
But again, the reason they believe this so ardently, this is their religion. Liberalism is basically a culture. I've got a couple of theories I even debate myself on. I kind of argue myself back and forth. I think a lot of people are born liberal. I think people are born. I think people are born. Their brain chemistry is designed such a way. They are born this way. And for you to, like, switch and say, okay, I believe things the other way. A complete 180 means you have to, like, just deny your belief system you've had your entire life. It's like, I've got to turn from being black to being white. How am I going to do that? It seems damn near impossible.
Phil Abonti
Your personality is strong. Your personality is dictated by, you know, like, by your genes, how you respond to things, your emotional level, how you respond to stimuli in the world that's dictated by your, you know, by your genes and stuff. And so that's strongly heritable and it strongly indicates where you're going to fall politically.
John Rocker
Yeah, I mean, there's some Rogans of the world that, you know, were maybe influenced, whether it was a school you went to, a parent, your environment of being in LA kind of thing. And then the older you get, perspectives change. And Rogan is fairly conservative now. I think he leans left on a few things.
Phil Abonti
Well, part of the reason why Rogan seems conservative is again, just like we talk about, the democrats of the 90s are now Republicans. Rogan is in a very similar situation to Tulsi Gabbard, to rfk, to Donald Trump. These people were, you know, they were moderate democrats in the 90s and aughts. And now the progressives in the Democrat Party have moved so far left, which is again, this is exemplary of the problem that we were just talking about a few minutes ago. They've moved so far left that they've lost the center. There are very few people that are on a national level that are popular Republicans that are actually really conservative.
John Rocker
You know, the foundation of liberalism is sympathy and pity. They feel sorry for everything, everybody, the environment, the minorities. And they don't feel sorry about, you know, burning somebody's Tesla dealership down. But the reason they're doing it is to protect people they feel sorry for sympathy and pity and to really see the error of their ways and be like, let me step back, it's just crazy. The shit I believe is just fucking nuts means they have to basically deny their entire upbringing, lifestyle, everything grown up, believing, knowing, feeling, understanding, needs to flip it on its ear and go, stop this car, put it in reverse completely other direction. And they're just not going to do it again. I keep talking about their model of the world. When I was playing baseball, I got really heavy into something called neuro linguistic programming, which really talks about model of the world. And their model of the world, when they're looking at what is going on with what Trump's doing and they're just mortified by it, they just can't understand. And just the way they see it, it's mortifying to them. We call them crazy because our model of the world and what they want to do, that's crazy to us.
Phil Abonti
Well, there's this guy, John Haidt, that wrote a book called the Righteous Mind and he goes through the types of people, the types of personality traits that lead someone to be more progressive or Democrat and more conservative or Republican. And you can actually predict these things fairly regularly if you know what kind of personality someone has, where they're gonna fall as far as politics go. And you can look at it like nowadays the progressive party and progressives and Democrats, it's very, very, very strongly liberal that are unmarried.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes.
Phil Abonti
And it seems like everybody else is not a progressive.
John Rocker
I wonder why they're unmarried. Because no ma' am be like, yeah right, I'm dealing with.
Phil Abonti
That's a point. You know.
John Rocker
And most of the men, slight built, thin boned, you know, just talk a little flinty. You're quite effeminate, sir. Let me guess, you vote left, don't you?
Phil Abonti
You can listen to people. When people think that they actually have agency and can go out into the world and make things happen, happen, they tend to be fairly conservative. When people are like, no, things happen to me, it's not my fault or I tried and this happened. So again, so that happened.
John Rocker
Feeling sorry, you know.
Phil Abonti
Exactly. But they don't feel like they have the ability to affect the world. Conservatives generally tend, tend to have the opinion that I can affect the world, which is why they go out and do things like start businesses, which is why they do those things. So like that comes from the type of personality that you have. So it's, it's very.
John Rocker
Why would you see like a George Soros is so left. It just. I'm like, this is a talk. There's a barking cat here.
Phil Abonti
It's weird.
John Rocker
I'm not used to seeing some like this. Even, even I've got a few buddies. We don't talk politics. That I play the biglies with that. I'm like, you're a liberal. What?
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
And just in big strapping dudes. I'm like, your uncle rape you when you were a family union one year happened to you or something got in your brain? Yeah, just very confusing to me.
Tim Pool
We're going to go to your chats right now. So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know and in about 22 minutes we will go to the uncensored portion of the show. Of course that will be@rumble.com Tim IRL but for now we'll just read what you guys have to say. We got Shane H. Wilder. He says, can we all agree that James Lindsay is a tool that can't even grift? Right. I have more respect for actual grifters than him. Indeed. There was a post that Matt Walsh had where he made a joke about Arby's and then he showed a post from James Lindsay attacking Arby's for being woke. Right. And I didn't think it was real. I thought Matt Walsh was making a joke. So I checked. And in fact, James Lindsay either was trying to make a joke about the woke right and Arby's or he legit thinks Arby's is now woke. Right. Which kind of is in line with what the wells he's been doing. So, hey, you know, there, there are a couple personalities I'm not going to name who used to have careers where they're relatively serious people on YouTube. Big YouTubers with millions of subscribers. And then once they started losing their followers, they started doing shock content like getting tattoos and pies in the face and things like that. I kind of think that that's what he's going for. He's basically just screaming, please talk about me. And someone super chatted in. Here we are.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It's working.
Tim Pool
Yeah. So he'd rather be a well known clown than a forgotten academic.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That's sad.
Tim Pool
Yeah, it is sad. Unintelligible Rambler says, as a single dad, sober raising my daughter since she was three weeks old, I'm falsely accused of theft. Oh man. And then he's got a link. But I think it's not going to work because theft and abuse is combined with your Give send. Go help Corey Lee fight corruption. Best of luck, sir. Mark Wiki says, congrats on the wife and baby. Tim, please shout out. My incredible wife, Courtney Bell. Shout out. Courtney was hanging out with the baby earlier. She is fat and happy. Unintelligible Rambler says, I withdrew from Cal Poly's mechanical engineering program to care for a family member, only to face these baseless claims. County officials, including a key investigator with a history of perjury. Yikes.
Phil Abonti
That's rough.
Tim Pool
Yeah. All right. Barry and McGrawin says, Tim, I would take that free jet just as fast as I would take a free Israeli pager. Yeah. Gutfeld was like, you can't take the jet you take. You'd have to take the whole thing apart and then rebuild it.
Phil Abonti
Yep.
Tim Pool
Yeah, you can't do that.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I mean we take a lot of stuff from China for our infrastructure electrical. But yeah. Anyways, President, I understand the. It's still same same.
Tim Pool
Let's grab some more chats. What do we got? 1. What does it say? One evil chef says, I still can't believe Director Neil Blomkamp predicted the South African uprising and the threat of AI built through corruption sold as protection for the people. Daddy, what was that?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
What was that movie, Section nine. What's it called?
Tim Pool
The other one?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Elysium.
Tim Pool
No.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Damn it. He's got a couple of them.
Phil Abonti
Blonde.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Camp.
Tim Pool
Yeah, the one with the robot.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, that's Chappie. Chappie? Yeah, Chappie.
Tim Pool
I'm assuming that's the one, right?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Chappie's a robot guy. He becomes a homeboy. He's like, yo, I'm Chappie.
Tim Pool
Yeah. Section nine. That was it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Section nine was the one. Yeah.
Tim Pool
That was a good one. They were supposed to make a second one.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
That would have been nice.
Tim Pool
Which was. It was basically just an. It was just a metaphor for departheid in South Africa. A bunch of aliens came. Right now we keep them in slums. Yeah, they're actually super smart. We just oppressed them.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
They did, like, robot stuff and made. Yeah, they're smart guys.
Phil Abonti
Yep.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Aliens, all right.
Tim Pool
Jungle Run says. Something you said yesterday made me think, what if you could only terminate if you already have a living child and. Or after your second. Second time, you must be sterilized. Men, too. That was a super chat. Someone super chatted that they wanted the law to be, if you got an abortion, they sterilize you at the same time. I believe they actually did that on Native American reservations. Wasn't that a thing they used to do?
Phil Abonti
Really?
Tim Pool
That was. That was a plot point in Yellowstone.
John Rocker
Something Germany may have done back in the 30s.
Tim Pool
In Yellowstone, the point of contention between the brother and the sister was that when she was a teenager, she got pregnant. So he brought her to a Native American abortion clinic, which requires sterilization, and she didn't know, so he signed off on it anyway. Yeah, so she got sterilized.
John Rocker
I would say maybe a good idea would be passing a financial competency test. That might be a good idea. Can't afford a kid. Sorry. Not, you know, not snippy right then, but I'm going to have a kid.
Tim Pool
David Mullet. Mullen Nerolo says South Africa has their own Harry Sisson by the name of Peter Creel. He posted a cringe racist rant that Crowder roasted this morning. Worth a watch. You know who that guy is? You want to tell us? Because, I mean, that's pretty much right. Okay. Let's see. Felix Carter says. Tim, you really need to understand what a norfentanyl ratio is and why it proves Floyd didn't die of an overdose, which means Chauvin killed him. Daniel Eisenschmidt's testimony from the trial explains it well. Riots should happen if he is pardoned.
John Rocker
Whoa.
Tim Pool
You know he should be pardoned because the fentanyl issue isn't even material to the, to the, to the issue at play. One, he didn't get a fair trial. There were riots happening, armed guards and razor wire. That's your fault. I mean, not you personally. That's the left's fault. If you're mad that Chauvin is getting pardoned, well, then the rioters shouldn't threaten the jurors and the experts. More importantly, Chauvin showed up after the fact already and used an MPD approved training method for subdual. The other officers were in their right, according to the, even the prosecution, to use tasers on George Floyd when he was resisting arrest. Now, the issue is Chauvin at some point should have got up and checked on Floyd. If your argument is negligence, okay, two years. Is that your argument? Two years. Because Chauvin didn't seek out George Floyd and intentionally murder a black man. He showed up to a crime scene where he was informed that a man was resisting arrest and was like six, six foot, you know, whatever, huge. And that they had, they had put him on the ground. So Chauvin said, okay, I'll do the standard MPD restraint. And his only mistake, arguably was that he should have checked Floyd. In which case, did he do what he was trying to do? Yes. Did he do anything wrong? There's an argument that he should have checked him, but then we're talking about a mistake and not an intentional immoral. Immoral action. So morally he should be pardoned. Politically and functionally, he may be worse off because right now he's at a low security prison. I think it is. So he's probably chilling.
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
Tim Pool
To be fair, they. I think the first place that he got stabbed several times.
Phil Abonti
Yep.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
21.
Tim Pool
You said 22 times.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
22.
Tim Pool
Jeez, man.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
If he gets out, I wonder if he's going to be more dangerous than being inside.
Tim Pool
My understanding is that he pleaded guilty to the federal charges and I'm wondering if that was because he knew he'd be trans. They told him, like, look, you're not going to win, but you take this now, you take it quick. You go to a federal facility in low, low security and you'll be much safer.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I can see that.
Phil Abonti
It's a smart app, a smart move, maybe.
Tim Pool
Nathan Gibson says everyone excited about RIA2 Electric Boogaloo in South Africa. Yep. All right. The good devil says he was pleading. If he can talk, you can breathe. It's basic biology that is wrong. And I'm sorry, like it is actually crazy to me that there are people who genuinely think that if you can talk, you can breathe. Talking requires exhaling. Breathing requires inhaling. If you're being smashed, you can exhale, but you cannot inhale.
Phil Abonti
And if it limits the amount of air that you can take in, like, you don't. You're just not getting full breaths. If you have your chest compressed like you. It does slowly suffocate you.
Tim Pool
There's this crazy story. It's really sad. Some. Some kids in high school, I guess, were bullying some kid. They rolled them up in a gym mat and ran off. Oh, yeah. Because these kids just don't understand how breathing works. There was another incident. Tony Hawk duct taped his young son when he was like 12 to the wall. Posted on Instagram and immediately got slammed. Every comment was, stop, get him down now. Get him down now. Because you could die very quickly from being duct taped to a wall. It compresses your chest. You can't breathe. And you just. You go hypoxic and just. Yep, yep. So Tony Hawk deleted that post and was like, whoops.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Freaking skateboarders.
Tim Pool
People don't realize, man. They don't realize. Slide text says, look up the Kawasaki Coro. A robot horse you ride. You want it, you need it. Get a few guys, really look it up.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
We just got some cool like walking on the walls type stuff going on.
Tim Pool
I think I saw a video of this. Can I actually buy it though? I doubt it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Look how cool that looks.
John Rocker
Robo horse slips and send you a phone. 600ft.
Tim Pool
Just a concept.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, that lady.
Tim Pool
Yeah, that's a. Yeah, that is not happening.
Phil Abonti
That's not real.
Tim Pool
Nah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
And we don't live in the.
Tim Pool
That. That jet bike is real, though. Have you seen that one? Yeah, no, it's. He calls it a speeder bike, but it's actually just a jet powered bike.
John Rocker
Oh, like on Tron.
Tim Pool
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Well, it doesn't kill you.
Tim Pool
This one's floating. Doesn't shoot lasers behind you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See the new movies come the neutrons coming out.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Pool
I'm excited for that one. They come. The Tron people come to Earth.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes. It's gonna be. They. They take out the cops, they shoot.
Tim Pool
Lasers out of the back of their vehicles.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It's gonna be fun.
Tim Pool
Yep. And who's in it? Jeff Bridges.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
All of them. Wasn't he?
Phil Abonti
Is Daft Punk gonna do the soundtrack again?
Tim Pool
God, I don't know.
John Rocker
I thought they broke up versus Cindy Morgan to play herself again.
Tim Pool
There you go.
John Rocker
You know what? I'm talking about, do you?
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
No, sir.
John Rocker
The original movie Tron back in the 80s. Cindy Morgan from Caddyshack was the hot chick on the original Tron movie.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Okay, okay.
John Rocker
Just an old 80s reference, guys.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Appreciate it.
Tim Pool
So we did actually talk about this a little bit, but big cheese asks Mr. Rocker, as a former major league pitcher, what are your thoughts on the amount of Tommy John surgeries in the majors today and can it be corrected?
John Rocker
I think there's actually less now. I think we touched on this a few minutes ago. We're actually talking pitching. I think, I think it's a little less now. And again, I don't know the stats, but maybe a little bit less now percentage wise than it used to be. I think that a lot has to do with the lack of the split finger being thrown. Most of the guys that I knew back when I was playing that had TJ were all split fair guys.
Tim Pool
What is that with split finger split you.
John Rocker
He's like that. You throw it like the ball to tumble like that. Yeah. It sinks. That's very. I mean you're laid out here and you don't have much like friction against yourself as a ball slipping through your fingers and you're snapping that elbow like that to throw it. Very, very low torque on the elbow. But I also do think a lot of guys, you know, I'd be wrong about the percentages because I know a lot of these guys are coming up through the travel ball networks and they're at 16 years old throwing, you know, 110 innings as a 16 year old, which is way too many. So by the time the, a lot of these guys get to the big leagues, I mean, they got so much tread off the tire, it's burned out from. Yeah, back when I, back when I was playing, you know, we played high school ball and it was 40 innings and I played my little summer ball was 15, 20, 25 innings. And then I started playing football and I went from there to basketball. I wasn't playing. I worked with probably a dozen kids down in Florida where I live, and these kids start in January. River High School ball. They're still playing at Thanksgiving. Even much to my, you know, adverse coaching there. I'm like, gosh, we got to shut this shit down, man. I got one more showcase. I got one more tournament like this. One showcase. Not gonna make your life in baseball, man.
Tim Pool
Have stem cells come into play at all?
John Rocker
Not yet for these guys. Just too expensive.
Tim Pool
It is, it is.
John Rocker
I am on the list to get stem cells. Maybe it'll make my horrible knee better.
Tim Pool
Well, I don't know. How much does a Tommy John surgery cost?
John Rocker
Do you know insurance is paying for it? Probably, I would say somewhere 12, 15 grand.
Tim Pool
I mean, stem cells cost same thing.
John Rocker
Yeah, that's true.
Tim Pool
So just not in the United States. So I went to Cellular Performance Institute. They actually, I think they sponsor UFC now. I was down there, there were a couple UFC fighters because they get tears and they get cartilage damage all the time. And they were talking about how if you've got soft tissue damage, cartilage, for instance, they can inject stem cells.
John Rocker
And so I've heard amazing things about stem cells.
Tim Pool
Yeah, yeah. So long as you still have some of the cartilage there, the stem cells will bond and reproduce and fully heal the joint. So I wonder.
John Rocker
I've been offered a fly to the country of Colombia to get stem cells about three months ago. Just trying to work out the time to get down there for a few days. A good friend of mine owns about a dog dozen rejuvenation clinics. That's where he sends all his guys for stem cell for free. So I'm like, oh, that one.
Tim Pool
You should get it done. I've heard really good things.
John Rocker
It's either that or we're gonna. We're gonna have to get a new plastic knee.
Tim Pool
Ah, you can, you can get the good stuff, the stem cells.
John Rocker
Yeah, I'm trying to try it out.
Tim Pool
So.
John Rocker
Yeah, yeah. Your tj, your tj. Ideas? Not really sure what the percentages are, but I think maybe back in the day it was the, the, the splits that were causing. I think if percentages are equal today, I think guys getting to the big leagues with, you know, 1500 innings on their arm versus me getting the big leagues with maybe 800 on my arm, about half. I think the guys are, you know, their arm is 31 years old when they're 25, and it's just, just a lot, a lot, a lot more wear and tear than young guys like I had. So that's my guess anyway.
Tim Pool
Crazy stuff has. I mean, how's baseball been doing in terms of, like, audience? I suppose, I guess.
John Rocker
Okay. The big market teams always draw, you know, the big names, the judges, the Otanis and the Doyers and the Sox, they always do well.
Tim Pool
And then the concerning thing that I've been talking about for a while is that there's no kids anymore. Gen Alpha is 40 million. So Gen Z is smaller than millennial. Gen Alpha is what, 60% of Gen Z and Gen Beta is going to Be even smaller.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Tim Pool
So who's gonna, who's gonna do anything?
Phil Abonti
Yeah.
John Rocker
The Latinos. Latinos.
Tim Pool
After Trump deports all the illegal immigrants.
John Rocker
Now they come everywhere. Dominican in Mexico and Puerto Rico and everywhere.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
On this, on that answer. I haven't played. I haven't watched the baseballs I got in. Politics, covet all this bloating, whatever. But I watched a game with. A couple weeks ago with my, My. My family member and I was like, man, this is fun. I. I used to love baseball.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
It's such a good sport to watch. Even though it's slower, people hate it. They. That everyone knows.
Phil Abonti
Only people that don't understand.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, I know. It happens. So I love, I appreciate. Every freaking pitch is amazing.
John Rocker
You know, slower gives you more time to drink, you know, There you go. Three hours, sit here and booze it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You know, you can appreciate every throw and every strikeout and every hit.
Tim Pool
Just, just as an aside, I pulled up that Kawasaki horse. They have other stuff too. This is the Alice system where you drive in a car in a cube and then the car transfers the cube, like so it pulls up to your house, transports the cube onto a train or boat.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Is this Japan?
Tim Pool
No, this is just a concept I got you. So imagine you have a cube, looks like a bus you're in.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
And it drives you around in it, and from your house onto the boat or a plane. You never actually leave your seat. That seems crazy. I wonder. All right, what do you think Concept 3 is going to be? Is it going to be like a giant giraffe? Hydrogen society. Oh, thank God Ian's not here.
Phil Abonti
Oh, God.
Tim Pool
It's just a hydrogen engine. Well, that's it.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Boring graphene definitely runs the world. So I'll tell you that right now.
Tim Pool
All right. Common sense fishing says BLM really started after Eric Garner, the black guy selling loose cigarettes, was approached by a plain clothes officer, put him in an illegal chokehold. Obvious murder enraged most normies and found not guilty. Rodney King 2.0. Yeah, the Eric Garner story, like a couple years before. Yeah, this was. This was New York, probably 2011, 2012, I think. I don't know. Or earlier. Yeah, the dude was selling Lucy's and the cops came up to him to stop him, put him in chokehold. He died.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, but it wasn't Rodney King. That's a different story.
Tim Pool
The rotten King story is crazy. I mean, his video of that, just beating the crap out of the guy, meeting them.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Louisiana rights. I lived. I moved to LA right after that. And everyone has a big talk at.
Tim Pool
The town Samuel WD says if Democrats knew Biden wasn't fit to do his job but still kept. Kept him doing it, then that proves even they didn't want Kamala as president. I think the strategy was keep Biden in as long as possible, swap Kamala in at the last minute for her benefit so that there couldn't be opposition run against her and then they could run. Just glowing press and hope. Hopefully it works.
John Rocker
They probably had too much time. Enough time. 110 days, whatever.
Phil Abonti
Once people.
John Rocker
Too much time.
Phil Abonti
Once people started to get to know Kamala Harris, her numbers just the more she talked, the more she did interviews and stuff.
John Rocker
Her numbers that first three days, I mean she was the next coming. Yeah, it was great press, great advertising. Yeah, enjoy. But you're right. And she did what, you know, very, very few interviews. If no interviews. One or two interviews mean to very little.
Phil Abonti
She didn't start doing actual, like really doing a lot of interviews until the last four weeks of the, of the campaign.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah, she did it with the great white hype, Tim.
Phil Abonti
That one time basically in October is all.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Pool
All right. I'm James Carney says question for the baseball guy. Where would you rank Felix Hernandez amongst the pitching great. Or would you also. When will Mariners win the World Series?
John Rocker
Felix Hernandez again, excuse my ignorance here. I've not watched a ton of baseball. Big, big, big right hander. Pull Felix Random up.
Tim Pool
Let me see if I can find him.
John Rocker
I think his nickname is the King. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. Yeah, he was a fucking stud. Big old coat hanger shoulders.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Yes.
John Rocker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was absolutely dirty. What's, what are his numbers? He wins, he got.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
You see those 169 wins? 130.
John Rocker
Yeah. I mean you don't win 200 games. You got no prayer. I mean it'll be hall of Fame consideration, but you got to win and be winning at least I'd say in this day and age you've probably seen maybe your last 300 game winner. The only one that may have a chance is going to be what's his tits from la lefty getting brain fartier. Anyway, he's at like 260 something. 270 wins. Yeah. Without 200 you're not going to get, you know, consideration for the hof. But he was a filthy pitcher, man. He had some, had some legit shit, that's for sure.
Phil Abonti
How old did you know Randy Johnson? Did you meet him get to hang out?
John Rocker
Yeah, I've been, I've been a few Golf tournaments with him, you know, Played against him a bunch. I remember one time we were playing in Phoenix, he lasted two and a third, gave up nine. I'm like, how the hell did that mean? It was like, literally. Brett Boone leads off with a bomb. No. Gerald Winsley's off with a home run. Brett Boone, double chipper bomb. It was three nothing. First three hitters. I'm sitting and looking at them. It's like, is he heard some 90, 900, 101. Like, how the hell are you doing this? Came to our park in July. No hit us.
Phil Abonti
Oh, my God.
John Rocker
No hit us. We're from a nine spot. Two and a third to get no hit by the same guy, like, 65 days later. Like, that's pretty.
Phil Abonti
Met him a couple times.
John Rocker
Just what you made.
Phil Abonti
But he's a really. He's been really, really nice every time I met him. He likes to do photography, and he'll go to, like, rock concerts and stuff. So he's. You know, I'm backstage a bunch.
John Rocker
You saw what his. His hall of Fame gift was, don't you?
Phil Abonti
What?
John Rocker
Or maybe his retirement gift. Neil Per of Rush, gave me a custom drum set.
Phil Abonti
That's awesome. Wow.
John Rocker
Badass, man.
Phil Abonti
Yeah. Yeah, man.
John Rocker
Yep. Yeah. Felix Hernandez, freaking stud. But just. I didn't have quite. Quite the longevity to. To. To get H. Consideration. Not. Not legit. Anyway. He'll get voted on me. He won't still get maybe 50%.
Tim Pool
What's the. What's. What's the age of retirement usually for baseball?
John Rocker
I mean, depends. I retired at 31. Just. However longer body and stats can hold out, one of them goes, you're gone.
Tim Pool
It's. But it's a little bit older than other sports, I think. Right.
John Rocker
Basketball. You know football. You know football. You played eight years. You've got a hell of a career. Yeah. You last at 30. You've done really well.
Phil Abonti
But Brady was an anomaly, and he played for like, 2047. Yeah, it was like he was.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
If you don't get hit.
Phil Abonti
He was well into his 40s. Yeah.
John Rocker
Yeah.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Running backs last, like, three, four, five years if they're lucky.
John Rocker
Yeah. We. Obviously not. Not as much injury, especially outside the. The pitcher, to be fair.
Tim Pool
I mean, that does include your whole life. I mean, you're playing since you're a kid.
John Rocker
Oh, yeah. Since you're six.
Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Oh, yeah.
John Rocker
So it's 30 ones. I played for 25, 26 years.
Tim Pool
You hear about, like, your career in the majors, and it's like, oh, you played for, you know, a certain amount of years. But it's like you're playing your whole life and yeah, you know, you're 30 now, so.
John Rocker
And big leagues, you play it every day you're playing and they're getting smacked up in training and all that. You're playing, you're on a baseball field, you spikes on, you make the playoffs, you know, 225 days a year.

Podcast Summary: Timcast IRL – Democrats Prep For Derek Chauvin PARDON, Ready To RETURN HIM, Riots Feared w/ John Rocker
Episode Details:
In this episode of Timcast IRL, host Tim Pool delves into the controversial topic of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin potentially receiving a pardon from the Democratic leadership. The episode features a guest appearance by John Rocker, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, who brings his unique perspective to the discussion.
[01:30] Tim Pool:
Tim opens the discussion by addressing rumors that Democrats are preparing for the possibility of Derek Chauvin being pardoned by former President Donald Trump. Minnesota Department of Corrections has reportedly made contingency plans to relocate Chauvin if a pardon is granted, anticipating possible riots and unrest.
