Red Wave (Patriots Only) Live Stream
An election-night watch stream from November 2020, most of it pro-Trump results commentary, with Joe answering health and OMAD questions between map refreshes. The food substance covers joining rather than fighting cravings, night-shift liquid cutoffs, and his contested near-opposition to mainstream medicine.

Detailed notes
A closer look at the ideas, examples, and reasoning Joe presents in this recording.
A watch party, not a fasting class
This is the most atypical recording in the catalog: a ninety-minute election-night stream from November 3–4, 2020, titled for "patriots only." Joe says outright that it is not a normal broadcast and spends most of it refreshing results maps as an open Trump supporter — predicting a landslide, repeating claims of ballot fraud and platform censorship that circulated that night, characterizing political opponents and liberal-run cities in harsh and sometimes derogatory terms, and reading out subscriber losses as viewers depart in protest. He also voices skepticism of a hypothetical mandatory COVID vaccine and, more broadly, of mainstream medicine. The stream is documented here because health and OMAD counsel is threaded through the political chatter, and because the recording marks the one point where Joe deliberately set his stated policy of a nonpolitical channel aside. All of the political commentary, election claims, and vaccine views are Joe's own, presented without evidence in the recording.
The health material between map refreshes
The food substance arrives in viewer questions. Joe revisits his craving tip of brushing teeth to end an urge, recommending a baking-soda-and-peroxide toothpaste and adding his claim that baking soda keeps the body alkaline. He explains taking BCAA capsules at the meal for protein without what he asserts is whey's strong insulin response. On night-shift logistics he advises cutting off liquids a few hours before sleep, explaining that early weight loss flushes water before fat and drives constant urination. And he holds that fasting should not hurt: hunger and the blood-sugar adjustment are the legitimate discomforts, so actual kidney pain during a five-day fast deserves a direct explanation rather than perseverance. Each mechanism here is Joe's account.
Cravings, depression, and perspective
The strongest teaching goes to a viewer stuck in a fail-and-regain cycle. Joe's counsel is not to fight cravings but to join them: welcome the discomfort in, and recognize that the objection to the pain — the choice to classify it as unhappiness — is the real problem. Easy and hard, he says, are variables of perception, like jump rope that is infuriating until the day it is suddenly easy. Asked whether OMAD helps depression, he answers yes through delayed gratification, then pushes further: depression is only depression if allowed to be, and rightly seen it is a gift. He pairs this with his domain teaching — no one outside you holds the key to you, and caring how others view you makes them your master — advice he applies equally to a viewer demoralized by her political surroundings.
The contested medical stance
Late in the stream Joe states plainly that he now almost opposes mainstream medicine, describing much of it as dangerous and corrupt: one pill for the condition, another for its side effects, the beginning of what he calls medication hell. His counterclaim is that a balanced mind tends toward a balanced body, and that mindfully acknowledging hunger, disease, and pain is more powerful than chasing treatments. His exhibit is a 58-year-old regular viewer off her blood-pressure medication after losing weight. These are sweeping medical assertions made without support, and they sit beside his darker principle of people beyond the age of rehabilitation — those whose motivation has died and cannot be restored, like a diabetic parent who will not fast. Readers should weigh all of it as Joe's personal conviction rather than clinical guidance.
Two smaller notes round out the hour: his warning, from a fresh injury pressing 150 pounds behind his neck, against behind-the-neck presses; and his figure of polar exclusivity — extreme diet camps as Venus and Mars, one hot, one cold, neither livable. The stream's own closing lesson is the equanimity Joe reaches for on a night he admits fear: whatever the result, life goes on, and bad election news is not fundamentally different from bad medical news or a family tragedy. It is the one piece of the evening where the channel's usual teaching and the unusual occasion meet.
