Jocko Podcast 322: Sometimes the Mission Chooses You. With Tony Cowden

[@RamadiTaxiDriver60M]

Was on a Team with him in 09. I didn’t necessarily get along with him on a personal level but hearing more of his story I get it now. I am truly glad he is doing this and hope we change the trajectory of this country. Good luck “Kidd.”

[@DontLetTheOldManIn]

Easy to imagine how he might be a bit difficult, personally, especially the younger version, to which he referred, somewhat.

[@Scipio_Americano_III]

This is my favorite episode so far because this guy actually thinks outside the box. Great job with podcast Jocko keep it going Brother. 🇺🇸

[@Sloshbu]

What part is outside the box?

[@markcurtis4465]

Hey Jocko, thanks for sitting with Tony for 4 hours, I really enjoyed every minute of it.

[@matingram6718]

Tony is a serious over-achiever and will absolutely fight for your rights as NC House Rep. Go get ‘‘em Tony. Good to see you bro. Thanks Jocko and Echo for giving us all our daily leadership and advice.

[@jessicalacasse6205]

hope not another crenshaw

[@vanivari359]

This system corrupts everyone. You need the voters, the donor money and the party to keep that job. And what the people want is usually the opposite of what the party and donors want. That's why they all focus on pretty irrelevant stuff like "culture war": It's the easy way to keep the voters on your side without doing anything for them and against donors and party. And after a couple of month Tony will start to make compromises because right now is not the time but they promise him to give him what he wants later. And then he starts to meet with all these lobbyists and they present opportunities to make money together with very good reasons why he should vote in their interest and then he has to take care for the next election... at the end there is a 95% chance that he will be another Crenshaw, he will chose money and influence. He already was a contractor profiting from that system.

[@rmmm6725]

I’m sure there is an abundant amount of fellow vets subbed to this channel. This podcast hit me more then any other, as a combat vet who served in the Middle East I’ve had some doubts for a while now. Tony opened my eyes even more. Wow

[@TRockett55IRISH]

You are not alone in what you said mate could not agree more brother .

[@preludethomas1061]

Thank you for this conversation. Jocko for president.

[@Luc_95]

The Congress/Economy portion of the interview is the best part I enjoyed listening to Tony and Jocko speak about that, it was so empowering and informative

[@gjezik]

Men like this amaze me. The balls, determination, commitment

[@diego.247]

All due respect he sounds like Theo Von if Theo was a military vet But This man 100% needs his seat. I’ll vote, Jocko for President and Tony for VP

[@nate2838]

This is the type of person we need representing us. Someone that sees there is a CORE problem, and symptoms. One who recognizes the need to work with both, ultimately working to solve the core problem. I'm generally more liberal than conservative. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

Tony is easy to listen to, "gift of gab"....great interview

Wish more service people were willing to take that second vow for their country. I dont think most Americans are cognizant of just how bad things are, and the true intent of the people in charge.

Tony cowden is the real deal. Would love to have him in a political position in any state. Especially pa where I live..

[@Mike_Phoutrides1611]

Wow this guy is right on about all our wars

[@robertirwin7016]

Tony has a few good things to say but I can't say I agree with everything. However, I can appreciate that he's out there trying to make a difference.

[@deadarmd]

He sounds like a politician which is what he'd have to sound like to win unfortunately. I think he's got good ideas and the ones i dont agree with hes at least searching for solutions. Which I respect. Which I dont respect politicians. So it's nice.

[@matbettez3495]

The machine he stole from the Air Force is called a RTCH. I used fix these big stupid machines and if he really did just hop in and operate it correctly that is seriously impressive. There's so much going on with that top handler its confusing as hell

[@coreymitchell9132]

Not sure I believe him !

[@jasonm9264]

That’s what they did to me at work. Work at a subsidiary of Oshkosh truck. Not sure why they have them, but I assume they get deals with all the military equipment we make. Our main 13 ton machine was down for loading chassis, they told me to grab RTCH and get them loaded. Played around with it for a couple minutes, had it figured mostly. After some time you learn some more tricks with it. With all his farm and construction equipment experience, I’d say it’s easily possible.

[@rmmm6725]

They may be hard to fix but not all that hard to drive around and pick stuff up with.

[@matbettez3495]

Lol yall are all right, it's not impossible to drive them obviously..unless your an 88H in the Army and ur only job is to drive forklifts and RTCHs, then you will suck at it. Hahaha at least that was my experience as a mech in a transport unit.

[@Dillonmac96]

I came back to finish this multiple times because I won’t skip legendary soldiers and I’m right again this starts slow but then gets better. His sentiment is making me feel so smart because I always said we made our own enemies and people would call you a terrorist… also his knowledge on the boarder is epic there is stuff we are ignoring in our country and it’s going to cause our collapse…. Not that we need to build a wall we need to let good people in and save refugees and legalize drugs to fight the cartels not letting them make billions off of us… I would expect that would be more important than Afghanistan wars… we will prolly have to root out the cartels or at least make the world a better place
