I come from ex communist country. experienced this first hand, and i am terrified by the mass of far left leaning youth in the west. I was amazed to see huge shops of e.g shoe brand "soviet" with a red star for a brand. Yeah so cool and hip. Not hoping that it is possible to convert any of these airheads, But you are doing good work. By the way, we are free from this only because of US military led and US won, cold war. Glad you cared.
My mother's grandfather, Ruvim, was "arrested," and sentenced to 25 years for owning a Holy Bible. This wasn't during WW2 or 1920. It was 5 years before the Soviet Union collapsed. He was freed after it had collapsed and spending 5 years in prison. His wife had married another man because life was too hard and he ended up forgiving her for it.
Echo should make a side channel as the “Connoisseur of Comfort”. He could do “un wrapping videos”, talk fashion, talk physiology, and put out extended enhanced videos. I love seeing Jocko and Echo together, but if Jocko can make Warrior Kid Podcasts happen, I know Echo has it in him to do some creative stuff on the side that would drive Jocko nuts on the channel. Get after it!
One thing I’ve learned in all of my years of troop leading . You cannot effectively counsel anyone if they know you are full of it. Not a single peer, subordinate, or child.
I'm loving these. I literally started reading the the books about a week before the Jordan Peterson episode came out, so it couldn't have been better timing for me. I hope he ends up doing all 7 parts.
I see a flaw in his Hope argument. If I have nothing left to lose, and it causes me to fight for my life... that means that I have abandoned hope of mercy from the enemy and instead placed my hope in that aggressive action in the moment might possible change the outcome for the better of something even if not my own life. Its always hope that fuels. Its always hope that fuels, but what is it fueling? Hope that the enemy will have mercy fuels your compliance. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's bad. Always be aware of where your hope is being placed and what the result of that will be.
Doing the entire saga like this would be an important and impactful journey for your audience this journey into Hell is transforming and incredibly well written. Thank you for this Jocko
It's absolutely depressing... Reading this book makes you want to get all your emergency travel arrangements ready at arms length because some of us know exactly where this is heading.
Just recently stumbled onto Jocko's podcast. So frigging cool. Will be getting this "Gulag Archipelago" once its out. Looks like it is/was a critical book
I read Gulag Archipelago abridged (condensed) version which is normal book length. It was life changing, mind-hardening, purifying, horrifying but cleansing read. You will be more of a real man if you read it. You will know Man.
This book should be obligatory to every student to read. Here in Brazil, nobody knows this book, i have the blessing to know a little of english and watch Dr.Peterson's lectures ,so i saw the gulag archipelago lecture and got the book to read.
I am now 76, and I read Solzhenitsyn in the 1970's. He won the Nobel Prise for literature. I am dismayed that the ideas that he warns about are creeping into Western Civilisation through post-modernism. The radical feminists, the identity politics people, the dominant voices of the Left/liberals are under the enchantment of Marxist/Maoist ideas. Unless opposed and defeated we are doomed to destroy the greatest prosperity of the greatest number that the world has ever known. I am now reading about Michel Foucault, the primary source of this poison - know your enemy. Equality of opportunity: good. Equality of outcome:bad.
Reading stories about the atrocities that occurred during the 20th century makes me feel incredibly lucky to live in the west during the 21st century...
Many in the West today are again looking to Marxist inspired govt because they don’t know what it was like and/or have been insulated from its effects when it ravaged the globe killing millions for nearly 100 yrs from 1918 in SE Asia, South America, Southern Africa and its parent countries of USSR, China and Eastern Europe. As Solzhenitsyn recounts, even in his own life, Marxism appealed to him and to those who feel and probably are powerless in society. It appears to be an offer to share in power but always, after much harm is done to others and without fail there is a reckoning and you are the one in the small dark basement room with no windows, one light bulb and a large drain in the middle.
Monitor your hope is so true. When the coronavirus lockdown first hit at first I kept hoping and believing that the next week things were going to get better... and then the lockdown would get extended and me and my whole family would be devastated. I was really depressed until I eventually just said I have to let this hope go or it will undo me, so I told my family we’re no longer going to look forward to when things will get normal, we’re just going to accept the reality as is, and when it does get back to normal, cool. But we’re not going to get our hopes up. Made all the difference.
ive always wanted jocko to have goggins on and also marcus luttrell, they seem like obvious choices as guests but there seems to be a weird dynamic/issue or maybe simply Jocko and some guests are busy and dots dont connect at the right time.
I think, if you listen to the David Goggins JRE episode you can answer your own question. Goggins literally says he wasn't liked in the teams. Now why would that be? The way Goggins comes across is being focused on himself. He even says he divorced because he doesn't believe in compromising with his female partner. If he doesn't compromise and/or puts people down for not being like him and/or is not a good leader that will get you or your teammates killed. While Goggins is a badass and a good athlete, he could definitely benefit from acquiring some leadership traits.

Ho ho ho! Everyone gets 20 burpees and a "Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual!" Merry Christmas! As Jocko Claus prepared to breach the chimney, he could be heard saying, "Stand by to get some." Remember kids, Jocko Claus hates cookies and milk. If you want a copy of Way of the Warrior Kid, leave Jocko Claus Molk or you'll get coal in your stockings.
Our war on drugs is the closest thing to this madness now. In the future people will be shocked in horror at the sentances people got for a bit of a plant these days. Although thank god we are still magnitudes less in severity, torture etc.
Just one correction, when Jocko said that if you take one grain from the state you would get a tenner(get 10 years), that's wrong. The right answer is YOU WOULD BE SHOT. If you were a mother and everyone in your family is STARVING and the state collected the grains and forgot one, even a rotten one, and you take it to your home to feed your children, YOU WOULD BE SHOT. In Ucrania, from 1930-1933, everyone was dying from hungry(also known as THE HOLODOMOR), the state put some ads saying to the people to NOT EAT THIER CHILDREN, because that happened... There's lot more, but you have to read the book, and be fortitude to keep going because is horrible to read those atrocities and not be sick to what happened in USSR. SO, READ THE DAMN BOOK, this will change your life, because you will learn how to fight an authoritarian regime without violence!
Well I just ordered all 3 volumes after the Jocko/Jordan podcast. When Jordan says a book is the most influential book of the 20th and 21st century, I believe him. Not sure what I’m in for. But I’m excited for them to arrive.
Proactive hope is good, escapist hope is harmful. Hoping to overcome a challenge is good, hoping to get out of the fight through no effort of yours can be morally and biologically deadly. This is why the Ancient Greeks say Hope was a dove in Pandora's box, which contained all the evils Zeus sent the mortals.
Jocko you should review the book by Richard Wurmbrand entitled tortured for Christ. He went through Russian oppression and emerged with his hope intact with the spirit of forgiveness and love even for his tormentors. He and his family were tortured. His wife raped. But he stayed faithful. How? I’d like to see that podcast and your thoughts on this book.
"Organ" means body, a larger organizational structure, an agency - as "in the KGB is the organ protecting the security of the state" - or their officers. The word was exported to the satellite countries as well.
Be very careful with Inquisition. Which one are you talking about? What period? Where? Because for example, in 13th century france, I would go for the Inquisition Trial over any other form of Justice. Then again, if we talk Spanish Inquisition ... Damn, I'd run.
Good evening. Uh oh. Looks like Jocko is violating his rule about shaving. Or, maybe this is a seasonal change for the holidays? Learning about things not to do.
Chainsaw Warrior- They were faithless atheists who used their Jewish ancestry as a shield and excuse for their evil deeds, real George Soros types. Big difference. Faithful, practicing Jews didn`t buy into it, nor did they participate in the carnage. Later they were punished for it. Don`t let yourself be confused.
@@patricksachs3655 Being religious doesn't prevent being evil. It seems you are attempting to claim the head of the Cheka acted out of 'atheism'? If so - that is just a bit disingenuous. Yagoda was a Jew, and converted to Christianity later on. He was never an atheist.
@@patricksachs3655 not to mention...during the antisemetic reign of stalin...coupled with the emergence of the protocols of the elders of zion (a fabricated anti-jewish document hailed by extremist muslims to this day) made russia not exactly a place where jewish heritage was any kind of 'shield'.

You seem to associate atheism with lack of virtue and faith (or as you claim to be able to judge it...'true faith') to be aligned with it. For all of that folly I can only direct you to god is not great by the hitch.
Absolutely did not do the crime but absolutely will take a plea deal because he "only" will do 5 years - if this happened even once, the system is almost hopelessly flawed.

I agree with you 100%, brother. We have many scary things going on in the west right now.
Better dead than red
@@thomasgibson4583 so much if the purges and invented crimes are coming true, treating police like captured re army etc
I often say I would happily trade millions of our own ingrate and foolish citizens for clear thinking immigrants such as yourself.

Soo sad my man. Love your great grandfather for his integrity, hate the leftist state that caused so much pain.
Our life is easy....
The Gulag Archipelago is like watching Schindler's List, but it lasts 2000 pages instead of 3h15 and there is no Schindler.
SardaukarQC- Excellent observation. So true

It's absolutely depressing... Reading this book makes you want to get all your emergency travel arrangements ready at arms length because some of us know exactly where this is heading.
Thank you for educating me Jocko. Before watching 155 and 156, Gulag just reminded me of Call of Duty Warzone
Enjoyed the on the path of this episode. Also love hearing people talk about the archipelago
Just recently stumbled onto Jocko's podcast. So frigging cool. Will be getting this "Gulag Archipelago" once its out. Looks like it is/was a critical book
Get Thomas Sowell on your podcast
YES PLEASE!!
He is nearly 90 and no longer doing media.
Good evening Echo!

Read the Gulag Archipelago because of Dr. Peterson, now that you did a podcast on it I feel like I was destined to read the book.
This book should be obligatory to every student to read. Here in Brazil, nobody knows this book, i have the blessing to know a little of english and watch Dr.Peterson's lectures ,so i saw the gulag archipelago lecture and got the book to read.

Great podcast!!
Tom Sowell is the man! Need to do an entire episode on basic economics. There is a ton of wisdom in that book.
Thank you Joco.
1:48:11 "That was alot of heat there for no dips on the rings" :D
Just finished the first volume last week
You are both awesome and bro complement eachother very well . Best regards.
Guess it comes down to simple
choice? Get busy livin, or Get busy

anyone else here chuckle when Jocko said "Popoff"
I'm looking at Jocko's growing stubble and thinking what would happen if he grew a beard. I guess Odin would have to give up his throne in Valhalla.
Jocko with a beard would mean bad things. Imagine a civil war and jocko is leading a army. In that case I hope I'd be on his side.
Been waiting for you to cover this hell yee

You should bring Rob O’Neil on the podcast would be epic @Jocko
Yo Jocko, did you see the documentary about AF on Showtime? It's pretty cool
I did get pulled over...check...back to the book... clownin
Are Jocko’s grooming standards relaxing or is he gearing up for Christmas Eve deliveries 🤔
He has to store all this knowledge somewhere
