Jocko I'm in the hospital right now for an infection in my bloodstream that ravaged my heart, and lungs... and I am suffering from hands that are unabled to open all the way due to a 2016 operation on my brain stem in my spine. I had triple epidural brainstem and spinal abscesses that was scraped off of me from the back of my skull to the middle of my back at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Hopkins neurosurgery saved my life and I am grateful for that, however, I am left with hands that cannot hold tools so I lost my career as an ironworker, and I also lost the ability to play guitar and to hold drumsticks. This is because my tendons were destroyed during all of this. Also, my back and neck after being scraped doctors saw this abscess wrapped around two of my discs in my neck, and decided it would be safer just to remove them instead of scraping them around to the front where I could have been disabled even more like paralysis or even death. So now, as I see myself in the hospital again for the same thing, I have you two watch and the amazing guests you have and their stories give me the fight and the will not only to continue living, but the will to Livestrong and get after it! Right before I was sentenced to 25 years in the year 94, I tried every branch how to service, and the Army recruiter allowed me to take the test, but due to one auto theft when I first turned 18, even they turned me down. So I continued to live a life of crime and wound up with 25 years which I did 21 years on it. Freedom from prison, and freedom in general it's something we must fight for continuously, because there are evil forces trying to take that from you continually. So be prepared everybody to get after it, and thank you Jocko for your words of encouragement and the actions you performed while serving this country. Not only do your actions confirm what you say, but they strengthen the weak, but inflame those needing a reminder. Over and out. From Baltimore Maryland. Frankie
Always heartened to hear and know how impactful Jocko has been to many of us and even to turn around scum of the Earth people like Frankie and get him on the "righteous path". get good brother. Love from India.
Joe Piersante is a knarly dude. He's an ex DEA agent who's exploits found him in Afghanistan as part of a DEA Fast Team that does not exist any more. In 2009 while on a mission in Afghanistan he was shot in the head that left him permanently blind in both eyes.. His story is truly inspirational.
Indeed.He's a remarkable guy and when he was talking about the African-American criminal organization/group out of Detroit he helped roll up once,I think that he might have been talking about ''The Black Mafia Family''(also known as ''BMF'' and they've been associated with rappers such as Jay Wayne''Young Jeezy'' Jenkins and Barima''Bleu Davinci''McKnight).
I agree with most of what you said, but technically he isnt "permanently blind in both eyes" he is in one, but the other is in the legally blind category, and he is waiting for stem cell treatments that may increase (I think the left) eyes ability
@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYTyeah but when shit gets really raw spelling drops the K n picks up the G.. Cause ya know, thats when G shit happens....... Wait a minute. .. I see what I did there..
Echo Charles biceps are ripped, Joe Piersante has come to the table with another set of awesome biceps. “Get after it” Joco and Echo Charles and all guests knock the cover of the ball. Thank you!
This story touched my soul.........in the most positive way. Thank you Jocko and Echo for providing your platform for the world to enjoy and learn. Thank you Joe for such inspiration on how to overcome the obstacles in life.
Listened to the podcast on Spotify, and as always, it blew my doors off. This man's outlook and positive attitude lit a fire under my ass, just like this podcast does every week. Get some🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽.
Just saw Jocko in Tulsa this last weekend. It was a pleasure to see you in color, sir - Tho this B&W Format is legit in a way that exceeds words. Thanks for all you do and what you brought to the event. Thank you for your service, and thank you for your continued service in teaching others how to lead.
You’re guest is wearing a shirt that reads to “Live Unconquered”. I have absolutely no idea what that brand is or does, but that message speaks to me in a way that so many do not. I’m thankful enough to have my sight and to be able to enjoy reading. I do not know what’s it’s like to live unconquered in the aspect that this man does, but I found my own meaning in this slogan that he displays.
Probably not the best idea to give away tradecraft and publicly out your own CI's but this was the realest episode of life in law enforcement, one of the best episodes yet.
I’ve listened to a lot of jocks podcasts going back to 2017 and this guy is definitely one of the coolest and most interesting guests. Heard all the crazy notable ones but something about him. Having a great time with this one.
Joe is a Don!! This has been so inspirational considering his life !! Wow what a guy!! An inspiration and someone I wish to be more like 👍🏼 great guy a credit to his perseverance through adversity!! Love the pod cast! Thank you Jocko & thank you Echo
Joe is such a great stand up person who never gives up. Amazing story for what he has done for this world and he still challenges himself daily even blind and a titanium forehead etc. only if we could all be like him… you can, you just need to believe and never give up. Such a great story I wasn’t expecting. Thanks and hope people reach out to him and give him any help he could use because he deserves it. I’m sure he won’t accept it being so strong minded but if you can force him to take some help from anyone that can deliver him . We do owe it to guys like this and pay it back. Cheers
Anybody else having trouble watching it? I have service in UA-cam is working for everything else but this particular video it’s saying no stream tap to retry
Jocko needs to interview Dr. Carl Hart who studies drug abuse at Columbia, teaches medical students, and advocates legalization of all drugs for adults. His book, “Drug Use for Grown-Ups” describes his research and his own use of illegal drugs. Dr. Hart has been on JRE multiple times.
S far as PTSD, my service dog as been blessing for me, it makes me rethink about myself, and attention is now focused on him and not myself, if that makes since.
He’s absolutely right about fitness saving your life during traumatic injuries. I had a colleague in his early 60s who a few years ago got in a car accident. A drunk driver, ascending a mountainous stretch of highway where we live/work, swerved out of his lane and hit my colleague who was descending head on. He was badly injured, unconscious (might have been a brief coma?), numerous broken bones and had a couple years of surgery and PT to this very day. He wasn’t a spring chicken but he’s a beast of a hiker here in the mountains of Northern NM, regularly doing 10+ miles on the weekends and probably hitting the gym or cardio equipment. The doctors told him that saved his life. Just another anecdote to prove this gentleman’s point, take care of yourself!
Former army having only limited cooperation with police I'm glad to see jocko understanding there's shit we don't do normally in the military especially back in the old days
❤️❤️❤️ I loved this interview & his story- after the accident during his recovery when he thought he was black for a couple days was Hilariouss 🤣🤣 joe got one Hell of a personality. funny as hell. But I definitely a good man. A Good Soul & im glad he’s still here💯🇺🇸
Indeed he IS a warrior. (And this coming from a Buckeye that grew-up with Woody, Bruce, Pooper, Tressel, and Urban. As I explained to my 9 year old son-wouldn’t it be boring if you didn’t lose once in a while?” He ended-up playing 5th grade to 12th grade ball. I tip my hat to ALL of you guys out there who know what I mean. Semper Fi. 0331 1986-1990. These guys are the real deal. I was proud of my service but it pales in comparison to them. 👍👍❤️
Pffft - this guy's just in another league. I can't even begin to relate I'm ashamed to say. Serious respect due. I wish I had half of what you've got sir.
From a recovering addicts perspective the war on drugs will never be won. We’ve thrown to much money fighting a losing battle. Legalize it regulate it, tax it and set up places that are safe for users. We can have places with nurses on site clean needles pipes etc. We won’t have to worry about overdoses, aid’s hepatitis rates will fall dramatically. Some people will always get high and that’s reality not everyone wants the help.
Ok this is fantastic but I do urge you once again to make the GOGGINS podcast happen. Please. For us all. There are many other podcasters who would host you guys first before the JOCKO podcast
Good luck on that. David Goggins has a cake ass existence. It's always easy for someone who gets a fair chance. This comment section is always filled with idolatrists ?
@@streamsoflivingwater In your situation it turns out I am in fact wrong and for that I do apologize. You actually have created videos and pretty damn good ones at that. Just a shame there's not a lot of views. 👍
I don't think that Goggins is ever going to be on the podcast. It seems like neither Jocko or David Goggins thinks all that much of the other and that's fine because neither one really needs the other(and Andy Stumpf already said that he won't have David Goggins on his Cleared Hot podcast).
This man woke up blind, and said point to the weight room.

There is excuses if u have weak genetics or a weak immune system

Joe really attempted to walk it off when getting off the helicopter. Absolute legend.

It’s humbling listening to a Blind person share a story. So descriptive and Immersing 💯
I'm not getting any audio with e video. It plays but no sound. Someone Sneed's to reach Jocko about it.
Yup, same
"Someone Sneed's to reach Jocko"
I can't stop laughing about how your phone's autocorrect ratted out your shitposting habits. God bless, man.
A true hero and patriot, thank you for a lifetime of service sir.
Jocko is the smallest dude on this episode.
DEA agent that takes illegal drugs XD
Sheesh...it's a good thing he doesn't read the comments 🤣🤣🤣
On the planet
He could also strangle, and otherwise dispatch the other two guys with his eyes closed.
Lol
I don't know if it's just me but I'm not getting any audio
Me too
Me too

Anyone else getting no sound on this video alone?
No sound.

The laugh Jocko reels off when he hears Team guys trained the FAST team was priceless. 🤣🤣
Listened to this episode on spotify. Definitely not what i was expecting this dude to look like 🤣
Probably not the best idea to give away tradecraft and publicly out your own CI's but this was the realest episode of life in law enforcement, one of the best episodes yet.
Pretty sure he’s got it covered man fake names and long time ago locations can be changed
No audio? Have y'all been Audio-banded 😁😁
It is really cool seeing jocko asking all these questions I really like it.
I’ve listened to a lot of jocks podcasts going back to 2017 and this guy is definitely one of the coolest and most interesting guests. Heard all the crazy notable ones but something about him. Having a great time with this one.
I think it's because Jocko is so wholesome this podcast. Like you can tell he hold a lot of respect for Joe and Joe is humble as hell
“…wake up the next day and give it hell.” Awesome and inspiring story.
That collective giggle at 4:29 made me smile.
I was one of the Australian SF operators on that operation.
Joe is a Don!! This has been so inspirational considering his life !! Wow what a guy!! An inspiration and someone I wish to be more like 👍🏼 great guy a credit to his perseverance through adversity!! Love the pod cast!

I’m getting the “No Stream” error
Same. Did UA-cam decide being physically active was "Hate Speech"? Is this on Rumble or Bitchute or Spotify or Odyssey? Or?
Guys like Jocko who talk about things like Ownership, Leadership and Stoicism have been deemed “Unsafe” and “Dangerous” evidently.
When you going to release the interview with the USS Liberty survivors?
Asking the real questions
@@PoonDestroyer69 i see he's released it in bits and pieces but not the full uncut interview, unless im just blind which could be the case also.
