It’s a more dangerous thing than we realize and is polarizing our country. United we stand, divided we fall. And yet Fox News and CNN broadcast the new end of the Union threat on a daily basis!
True and I feel the same Have a great day ahead of you! 😄 God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! 😇 💗
He hit the nail on the head when he talked about why he didn’t want to do a current event podcast-he didn’t want to put in the effort to make content that was out of date by the time it was published (which manufactures a demand for stories and coverage; if there are no “real” stories, find something)
@Sic Semper Tyrannis crazy that you can listen to a political speech and depending on the camp of the politician they will make up stuff to make them look bad or look good. No longer journalism, its political bias... the fact that the political bias and hatred is now in most American sports, misic, and Hollywood means no escape from it unless you do as I do and ax the TV
I just want to say that one of the main reasons I listen to these podcasts is the very fact that you don't talk about current events (along with the fact that your podcasts are amazing). There's just so many things happening these days that get blown out of proportion and this podcast is one of the few places that pulls you out of the crazy and gives you some actual perspective on things that matter.
Unfortunately nothing matters more than the threat of climate change so sooner or later everyone's going to be confronted by reality and the politics of what's going on we'll have to confront it for our own survival. Everything else is a distraction at the moment.
His comment about it being binary is so spot on. It has turned into me against you, us against them, we're right, they're wrong, etc. There can't be any discussion anymore, it has to be left vs. right and if you don't agree with me than FU. There's no more compromise or meeting in the middle or seeing both sides and trying to come up with a solution every one can agree on. I also follow Dave Ramsey for his financial advice/getting out of debt stuff, and he has a great quote. "What's going on in your own house is more important than what is going on in the White House." Basically most of us have other things to worry about than what the news and politicians consider "important." Jocko has been my distraction from it all this year, I was getting way to bogged down worrying about all the nonsense and drama and negativity going on and then stumbled on this podcast one night. Not going to even lie, it was life changing hearing this perspective and watching your episodes with Rose and Jordan Peterson. Been binge watching ever since, been inspired to get back in the gym and clean up my diet and take control of life again, deleted 90% of my social media and just focusing on myself and those important to me. The rest of it is as Jocko says, micro-drama that just doesn't matter.
Word. You pretty much said it all. Good for you, good luck on your endeavors. I feel ya, some of my friends spend all their free time on their phone learning about what happened in the White House daily, where, I’ll read the WSJ daily for 20 minutes and then spend the rest of my time learning and doing things that are way more important than all these micro dramas. And then they’re like, well don’t you care????? Yes, and I stay informed generally speaking, but not about all these micro dramas. Politicians are liars anyway. I got my life to focus on, not sit and watch Fox News or CNN for hours on end and talk about how fucked up the world is. Move on.
Jocko getting political would be a huge distraction to his goals. The comment section would turn into a political arena bloodbath with people yelling and screaming at each other ruining the goal oriented and supportive nature of his podcast.
I think it’s very irresponsible of him to never mention anything, he knows what camp he’s thought to be in, and that is the camp with a person that exhibits an astonishing lack of leadership.
Jocko once again shows why he is one of the best. Such a breath of fresh air to have someone that focuses on the human condition and issues that we all share and not the micro-political nonsense that comes with the 24-hour news cycle.
Yeah, it's propaganda on both sides. At the moment the left is worse, since it has been 4 years now of major TDS...But Fox isn't innocent. Controlled opposition.

Greetings from Russia, Jocko! Your words have touched the very depths of my heart. Your wise approach to the issue that has been brought up deserves great respect.

This video is a great example of how I feel and formed certain views and opinions in my life. When he talked about forcing an opinion down someone's throat, it was spot on. As a child growing up, my mother and father had different views on politics and religion. I will not mention what political party they followed or what religious beliefs they had, so I don't upset anyone who may have the same beliefs, but let me just say one thing... My mother tried to force her beliefs on me and basically told me her way was right and if I didn't follow her example then I'd be nothing in life and doomed to fail. My father, on the other hand, was laid back and pretty care free. Sure he lacked a little bit of discipline which might have been bad, but he never tried to force or convince me that his way of thinking was right. Now that I am an adult, I can say with confidence that the things I believe in today more resemble and what my dad believes in. There are a couple of things I might agree with my mom and her way of thinking, particularly her strict anti-drug use and discipline of self.

Exactly. Surround yourself with positive people. I can appreciate multiple perspectives of any argument and understand where people are coming from and then make my own damn decision. If you constantly look up topics on current events and surround yourself by people that have NOTHING better to do than talk about political theatre and pay attention to every comment online then that is on you. Feel free to waste your time with them. Thanks for the reminder Jocko.
This podcast is gold. The "news" is designed to create drama and instability in our lives. I have stopped watching the MSM years ago and only listen to selected reporters for a couple of minutes a day. I would rather listen to Jocko and Jordan Peterson than be bombarded with Covid, Antifa, BLM etc. Thank you for adding value to our lives rather than drama.
@D31 5M The government let itself be infested with satanists, pedophiles, and treasonous freemasons to our detriment. In a righteous society with a righteous government, this would not happen
Yea, but I remember when Jordan Peterson came to the podcast that he (jocko) acknowledges that the "little things" do matter more than he thought, because fascism grew from the silence of those that did not support it.
Echo: "Yeah the whole unhappy campers was me making a joke." Jocko: "Yeah I know it was a good attempt at humor. Well actually no it wasn't, it was a failure, but that's cool." 😂 😂 🤣
Extraordinary chap. I regularly listen to Jocko since I first came across him. By and large - I'm in the "a little messed up" camp and Jockos smarts helps enormously: fortifies my resolve, takes me out of my comfort zone and helps me to me snap out of it when im feeling under the weather. Im Irish but his reaction to America's weak and disastrous exit from Afghanistan was stirring and inspiring and in such stark contrast to the lame and pitiful actions of the current incumbent, President Biden - whom I used to have a lot of time for (apologies republicans, but Trump was just a little too much for me). President Jacko..., there's something I could get on board with.
Most people don't want to talk about politics. Most people have political opinions and participate in politics. Most people's lives depend on politics.
Folks Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away at 87 from complications from pancreatic cancer. I didn't agree with a lot of her decisions, some I did. This being said, RIP. "Even enemies can show respect".
@C B thanks. At the end of the day she's still human and had a big family. She did a lot for discrimination against men too. She was also against Kaepernick kneeling to the anthem, but backpedaled.
@@Citizens4DefenseLLC yes she will. But I'm not her judge, and I'm pretty sure your not either. Like Bill Maher said about Rush when he was diagnosed with cancer what his opinion was on the issue. "We used to wait until the dead were in the ground before we start shitting on them. He took up for me on 9/11 and I'll never forget him for that" ~Bill Maher. You're too mad. Let God sort things out brother.
I come to this podcast because I am tired of hearing about all the current affairs. Jocko and Echocharles help me to improve my life. I give thanks that this podcast is here. THANKS FELLAS
But the issue is that this can only last for so long. You see that the mob is energized. They will come for you. They will come for Jocko. A person has to take a stand against evil.
I agree 💯 with Jocko on the current events. Im more for being happy...family... In general my family and my life. Teaching my kids good morals being kind and getting out of life what you want... But enjoying it as you go...if you are not enjoying life what's the point.
@The Lone Stranger in spanish cat is "gato". "gato" is also the name given to a jack that you use to fix a flat tire. So when dogs chase cars is because they are after the "gato". Bad joke I know
Jocko, I get it, I get you're trying to stay above the bullshit, you've got a lane and politics isn't it. It's focusing on the big picture, the greater good and I respect that. What I don't get, is how someone who put their life on the line and fought to liberate people who weren't even his own countrymen could lump a violent occupying force on American soil (chop/chaz) which was allowed to happen by other Americans in power who sat idly by for 30+ days and still had remnants of chaos continue for over 100+ days, as something that doesn't matter in the big picture. I'm not disagreeing that in a few years we will probably look back and to us it will be water under the bridge. But, It's just really disheartening to hear anyone lump these current events into such a generalized group of things and say, "they don't matter" . They matter to the people who lost their lives, their property and livelihood, those who were raped... There's no love or respect lost. In all honesty, I'm probably dwelling on the wording more than I should, but in this day and age where we have former "patriots"/veterans taking part in these protests/riots. Y'all a have to forgive me for being caught up in the nuisance of language.
He hasn't lumped that into the things that don't matter, he just thinks enough people are barking about it. Plus he gave his opinions on the whole chop/chaz and police situation etc on one of his podcasts with Rogan.
I respect that Jocko doesn't participate in the nonsense, but whether we like it or not our beliefs, values, principles, and worldview land us in one camp or the other. Patriotism, small government, strong military, and a warrior poet ethos are conservative principles. Even if we choose not play the game, unless our values are totally split between two worldviews, which I have not really seen and which would take serious cognitive dissonance given opposing ideas are often mutually exclusive, we can't avoid landing on one side or the other. In my experience, even if we are fair, objective, respectful, etc., the VAST majority will stop listening when they find we align with opposing ideological views. I'm sure we all know Jocko's audience is nowhere near split down the middle despite how much he has avoided playing the game.
Your beliefs, values, etc. need not land you in "one camp or the other". The belief that there are only two camps is ridiculous, childish nonsense. Just because it's nonsense that we've normalized and bought into doesn't make it true. This is just the elites fucking with us, playing on our idiot tribalism to keep us busy fighting each other so we won't come after them.
I understand your reasons sir, with much respect. However, current events, including people losing their livelihoods across the world, our statues being torn down, and a communist attack on our country from within and without are macro dramas of the highest order. You have given so much to our country and I understand why you don't want to go there. I just hope our active military can quell this real attack on America, if needed. Otherwise, I believe other civilian patriots, like myself, will never surrender to the thought police and people of the lie, who are most certainly attacking our Republic.
please point me to one episode where speaking on politics vice military history, bjj, leadership, accountability, working out, etc fits in line with this podcast.
What communist attack? Would be great but I don’t see shit from inside America with nothing from outside communist countries “wanting to attack America.”
I enjoy your content because it isn’t just updated on the world if I wanted that I could watch news and educate myself. And the issue I see is getting bogged down with temporary news cycles . There are important issues but the constant bombardment of it almost gets hopelessness or feeling “not in the know” but listening to the podcast and learning lessons that can be applicable in decades down the road it helps me relaize how amazing I feel after getting motivation and seeing ways I can help myself and cope with your all’s topics and words and guests etc . Never atop
Wasn’t a genocide. Millions did tragically die due to a mixture of natural disasters, a revolution in agricultural and the slow technology of the ussr’s day however it was not a targeted attempt to exterminate Ukrainians by the ussr.
What Jocko said in minute 7 is exactly why I quit listening to Glover. Stay neutral. Speak facts that are more important rather than riling up and separating the country more with these current events. Jocko for president! No matter what side he chooses. 🇺🇸

so the cdc is wrong about it being tied to the year :D?
Michael Murphy I was making an attempt at doing the jokes. 😐
Jfr45er you nailed it! 😂 I thought it was funny
Exactly. Surround yourself with positive people. I can appreciate multiple perspectives of any argument and understand where people are coming from and then make my own damn decision.
If you constantly look up topics on current events and surround yourself by people that have NOTHING better to do than talk about political theatre and pay attention to every comment online then that is on you. Feel free to waste your time with them.
Thanks for the reminder Jocko.
I like Jocko's perspective. Focus on what matters.
This is some of the best of wisdom I've heard on line. It comes from a position of total strength of character.
Needed to hear this. I’ve felt like my brain is melting lately. Thanks.
"Someone is listening to this right now and it's 2022" WTF Jocko Goosebumps!
"Now you know why those sleeping dogs lie"...
"you put me in a camp the other side is not gonna listen anymore" my guy hit the nail on the damn head.
Echo's epic Thanos-ian biceps.
This podcast is gold. The "news" is designed to create drama and instability in our lives. I have stopped watching the MSM years ago and only listen to selected reporters for a couple of minutes a day. I would rather listen to Jocko and Jordan Peterson than be bombarded with Covid, Antifa, BLM etc. Thank you for adding value to our lives rather than drama.
The Government needs to let us live our lives . And stop trying to run our lives for us .
That will make things worse
They'll keep doing it as long as we let them. 🤷♂️
@D31 5M The government let itself be infested with satanists, pedophiles, and treasonous freemasons to our detriment. In a righteous society with a righteous government, this would not happen
Thanks for this, we need your voice right now
Good timing. Get some
I didn’t think I could love Jocko any more than I already did.
Yea, but I remember when Jordan Peterson came to the podcast that he (jocko) acknowledges that the "little things" do matter more than he thought, because fascism grew from the silence of those that did not support it.
Jocko seems to love moral equivocation.
Gurus dont like to rock the boat
Jocko's very smart & always thinking tactically!
if people focused on improving themselves rather than telling others how to live political dogmas would become pretty much obsolete
This is why I like Jocko, Jocko wisdom, timeless podcast. Wow what this guys podcasts transcends space and time.
Echo: "Yeah the whole unhappy campers was me making a joke."
Jocko: "Yeah I know it was a good attempt at humor. Well actually no it wasn't, it was a failure, but that's cool." 😂 😂 🤣
This joke was underrated 😂
Extraordinary chap. I regularly listen to Jocko since I first came across him. By and large - I'm in the "a little messed up" camp and Jockos smarts helps enormously: fortifies my resolve, takes me out of my comfort zone and helps me to me snap out of it when im feeling under the weather. Im Irish but his reaction to America's weak and disastrous exit from Afghanistan was stirring and inspiring and in such stark contrast to the lame and pitiful actions of the current incumbent, President Biden - whom I used to have a lot of time for (apologies republicans, but Trump was just a little too much for me). President Jacko..., there's something I could get on board with.
To the person in 2022 watching this, what's up!
You were so dam right Jocko. I sit here today watching / listening to your podcast as 27 year young male and UT is indeed 2022👌
Yes. That's why I listen.
This is so simple, yet simply brilliant.
Most people don't want to talk about politics. Most people have political opinions and participate in politics. Most people's lives depend on politics.
Holy shit. I'm listening to this in 2022. Jocko you called it
Can you get Tim Kennedy back on again :)
I am listening to this podcast right now. It's 2022, and it's still relevant.
Folks Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away at 87 from complications from pancreatic cancer. I didn't agree with a lot of her decisions, some I did. This being said, RIP. "Even enemies can show respect".
@C B thanks. At the end of the day she's still human and had a big family. She did a lot for discrimination against men too. She was also against Kaepernick kneeling to the anthem, but backpedaled.
She supported infanticide and now will face true judgement for her crimes against humanity. Eternity is a long time.
@@Citizens4DefenseLLC yes she will. But I'm not her judge, and I'm pretty sure your not either. Like Bill Maher said about Rush when he was diagnosed with cancer what his opinion was on the issue. "We used to wait until the dead were in the ground before we start shitting on them. He took up for me on 9/11 and I'll never forget him for that" ~Bill Maher.
You're too mad. Let God sort things out brother.
I come to this podcast because I am tired of hearing about all the current affairs. Jocko and Echocharles help me to improve my life. I give thanks that this podcast is here.
THANKS FELLAS
Straight facts as usual 💪🔥
And the life and business lessons in Jocko podcast 1 to current, it's insane. So much wisdom
Is sometimes much healthier for both the career and the own mind not to engage in such things...
But the issue is that this can only last for so long. You see that the mob is energized. They will come for you. They will come for Jocko. A person has to take a stand against evil.
Came to watch this during the Presidential Election. Much needed.
Who’s watching in 2022?? ✌🏻💀
Me! I'm listening to this podcast and it's 2022 right now 😄
Temporary uselessness deserves no attention...LEADERS FOR LIFE🔥🤘🔥🤘
Fuck...scared the shit out of me when he said 2022 lol
How many Seals does it take to change a lightbulb?
Zero. They just let the world revolve around them.
More like they scare the world into revolving so that everyone else doesn’t die.
I love the black and white filming
I agree 💯 with Jocko on the current events. Im more for being happy...family... In general my family and my life. Teaching my kids good morals being kind and getting out of life what you want... But enjoying it as you go...if you are not enjoying life what's the point.
Blowing my mind with the space time continuum.. great Scott!
Too many barking dogs with nothing to say that hasnt already been said
The Lone Stranger that was really well said.
@The Lone Stranger in spanish cat is "gato". "gato" is also the name given to a jack that you use to fix a flat tire. So when dogs chase cars is because they are after the "gato". Bad joke I know
@The Lone Stranger well a tip from one of those “barking dogs”, it’s spelled they’re*
@The Lone Stranger no but some empathy would
@The Lone Stranger even tho you fixed that but spelled my name wrong twice
You are building an informed audience, much better than a large audience. Thank you.
Jocko, I get it, I get you're trying to stay above the bullshit, you've got a lane and politics isn't it. It's focusing on the big picture, the greater good and I respect that.
What I don't get, is how someone who put their life on the line and fought to liberate people who weren't even his own countrymen could lump a violent occupying force on American soil (chop/chaz) which was allowed to happen by other Americans in power who sat idly by for 30+ days and still had remnants of chaos continue for over 100+ days, as something that doesn't matter in the big picture. I'm not disagreeing that in a few years we will probably look back and to us it will be water under the bridge. But, It's just really disheartening to hear anyone lump these current events into such a generalized group of things and say, "they don't matter" . They matter to the people who lost their lives, their property and livelihood, those who were raped...
There's no love or respect lost. In all honesty, I'm probably dwelling on the wording more than I should, but in this day and age where we have former "patriots"/veterans taking part in these protests/riots. Y'all a have to forgive me for being caught up in the nuisance of language.
He hasn't lumped that into the things that don't matter, he just thinks enough people are barking about it. Plus he gave his opinions on the whole chop/chaz and police situation etc on one of his podcasts with Rogan.
@@sbot8158, ok thanks I'll check it out.
Correct. Protect the fundamentals, the constitution. Unfortunately, we are slowing eroding the fundamentals.
I am setting a google calendar event to look for this video in 2022. Hopefully youtube allows Jocko to continue his podcast.
I respect that Jocko doesn't participate in the nonsense, but whether we like it or not our beliefs, values, principles, and worldview land us in one camp or the other. Patriotism, small government, strong military, and a warrior poet ethos are conservative principles. Even if we choose not play the game, unless our values are totally split between two worldviews, which I have not really seen and which would take serious cognitive dissonance given opposing ideas are often mutually exclusive, we can't avoid landing on one side or the other.
In my experience, even if we are fair, objective, respectful, etc., the VAST majority will stop listening when they find we align with opposing ideological views. I'm sure we all know Jocko's audience is nowhere near split down the middle despite how much he has avoided playing the game.
Wordy, but well said.
Your beliefs, values, etc. need not land you in "one camp or the other". The belief that there are only two camps is ridiculous, childish nonsense. Just because it's nonsense that we've normalized and bought into doesn't make it true. This is just the elites fucking with us, playing on our idiot tribalism to keep us busy fighting each other so we won't come after them.
Someone IS listening to this podcast in 2022!!!
Jokes on Jocko, UA-cam and Podcasts become illegal in dec 2021
still kicking
‘ someone’s watching this rn in 2022 ‘ damn jocko you got me🗿
I understand your reasons sir, with much respect. However, current events, including people losing their livelihoods across the world, our statues being torn down, and a communist attack on our country from within and without are macro dramas of the highest order. You have given so much to our country and I understand why you don't want to go there. I just hope our active military can quell this real attack on America, if needed. Otherwise, I believe other civilian patriots, like myself, will never surrender to the thought police and people of the lie, who are most certainly attacking our Republic.
please point me to one episode where speaking on politics vice military history, bjj, leadership, accountability, working out, etc fits in line with this podcast.
What communist attack? Would be great but I don’t see shit from inside America with nothing from outside communist countries “wanting to attack America.”
I enjoy your content because it isn’t just updated on the world if I wanted that I could watch news and educate myself. And the issue I see is getting bogged down with temporary news cycles . There are important issues but the constant bombardment of it almost gets hopelessness or feeling “not in the know” but listening to the podcast and learning lessons that can be applicable in decades down the road it helps me relaize how amazing I feel after getting motivation and seeing ways I can help myself and cope with your all’s topics and words and guests etc . Never atop
Has Jocko ever talked about Holodomor? The Ukrainian genocide?
@Jack McCabe yeah it's a really not discussed enough and Jocko would be a great person to educate more people on it.
👃
You get it 👃
Wasn’t a genocide. Millions did tragically die due to a mixture of natural disasters, a revolution in agricultural and the slow technology of the ussr’s day however it was not a targeted attempt to exterminate Ukrainians by the ussr.
Just set my calendar reminder to re-listen to this in 2022🤯
Soon there will be no more barking, only bites; be wary. Centrism can only go so far...
I admire your thought process.
What Jocko said in minute 7 is exactly why I quit listening to Glover. Stay neutral. Speak facts that are more important rather than riling up and separating the country more with these current events. Jocko for president! No matter what side he chooses. 🇺🇸
One of the most eminently sensible people on UA-cam
