Great video. So sad James is no longer on this Earth. His lessons will be with us forever

[@BruceCross]

That's so sad. I looked him up. James Yeager died on Sep 1, 2022 of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

[@ProjectHipChristian]

Love the interview five years later. Thank you for always bringing GOD in the conversation.

[@Coffee1776]

Hearing James and John joke about James not having much time left is really something to hear now. You never know. RIP James. We all miss you. 😔

[@MichaelJones-yl8kk]

Has to be the coolest grandpa on Earth.

[@KellyNGabe502]

Oh he’s alright... he’s older than 60...

[@Breaker197]

Nah, John, these are the best kinds of interviews, where the structure gets quickly eroded and turns into two good buddies chatting it up! Thanks to both you fine gents for this. I'm up north, but one of these days, I'm gonna have to come down and do a whole bunch of training. Hopefully, with my son when he's old enough too.

[@Nick-fm9ux]

Are they good buddies?

[@wattsobx]

To alphas trying to figure out how to have a conversation.... (i kid)

[@virgil8574]

its yeshua not jesus so get over it I’m sorry what?

[@engineeredlifeform]

@Uskeezmeout 1519 But luckily you were there to save them,......

[@MotorcycleMouse]

He didnt leave his guys he got to cover, returned fire then got his guys. If you haven’t been to combat and honestly even if you have you should probably screw off with calling people cowards.

[@davidbarnett8941]

John Lovell James Yeager I just watched both of y'alls interviews on tactical response and warrior poet society channels and I have to say thank you. James I started out watching your videos and loved them and the more I paid attention I realised how hated you are but I beg to differ. You obviously care, are committed, and are responsible for where I am today! I appreciate you Mr. James Yeager. John, I think of all the you tube channels out there yours is the best! I have learned so much about fighters mind set which is the difference between wolves and sheepdogs! I really appreciate you as a human and would love to meet you in person. I started my interest in self defense via firearms after the incident in Dallas where all of those police were killed a year or so back and since then have dedicated alot of time and effort into collecting and self training with firearms. You both have helped me immensely! Much appreciation guys! If only Arkansas was I'm the middle of you two guys!

[@brokenarrow420]

Watched this video when it was first posted and now today... still epic, love it , thanks guys! Have a great day!

[@40Spec]

Thank you John for pressing and getting people to think about the God question!

[@jakek7598]

God question? As an non believer myself I do believe ones religion or belief is very personal. I dont believe any GOD or diety makes you who you are. But what you chose to do in the name of whatever your beliefs are is what matters. Maybe there is a creator. Maybe not. But only you as an individual can create the world you want to live in.

[@rustymacshackleford6276]

Wrong. Your God definitely makes up of who you are, your identity etc. The good news about my God is that he sent his only son Jesus, to die for the entire world's sins, past, present, and future, so long as you receive him as your savior - that's it, nothing else. No good works, no traditions, NO RELIGION. Jesus paid the price on the cross so I can breathe easy and know my salvation is secure with him. Having that level of comfort has put my mind at ease for years. So you bet it makes up who you are, absolutely.

[@derekweikart35]

Great video John! I'm glad you were the one who asked James these questions. Two instructors that I respect greatly.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Derek Weikart thx my friend. Hope you are well

[@leeroywilly]

Actually really enjoyed watching that. Great back and fourth interview. Thanks for the vid!

[@NorCalCJ]

This is the best thing I've seen all day. Thank you both.

[@therichie9916]

I cannot believe this video escaped my attention. I laughed so hard and ended up spitting coffee everywhere! Awesome

[@fmxmyway]

I seriously love how honest and exposed this interview is. Rare thing these days.

[@iofthestorm]

Very nice. Thanks to both of you for all the knowledge you've imparted. Helped a lot.

[@wisemencompany]

God bless you James.

[@skipdawg702]

I am proud to say I have trained with both of these gentlemen. great dudes, great instructors!

[@chadhaire1711]

Yeager couldnt instruct his way out of a paper bag

[@zulu700]

Very good interview. Good insights from both of you. Appreciate what both of you bring to the table.

[@expandfreedom2283]

I sure appreciate the video. I trained at Tactical Response in May of 2015. The training on Mindset transformed the way I think about a lot of things. I would highly recommend training with James, his lecture on day 2 of Fighting Pistol was worth the price of admission alone. Excellent stuff gentlemen. Thanks for the video.

[@nathanwhitfield4462]

How am I just finding this I follow both of you?!? This is awesome love it!!

[@hammockdave4410]

best interview i've seen in a while. good stuff gents!

[@aarontooley570]

Thanks for sharing and being brave for sharing a personal glimpse of yourselves.

[@kurtcutterwood1724]

Both very witty and unplanned I dug it, I even watched it twice . Both very good trainers thanks to both of you

[@danbyers8462]

This interview with James Yeager had me rolling in laughter! Good job!!

[@mwa66212]

I agree James...I believe you were called to do this AND you were given the gifts (tools) to do it. You are faithful and truthful...thanks.

[@alanjones3990]

You're both awesome, going to have to train with you both

[@jsshous]

Great interview. I love both of your channels. You both have a lot of good information to share.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+jsshous thanks man. I have done some videos, and James has done ALL the rest. It's like an encyclopedia of everything I want to check out

[@markkirkland1836]

Man!...I really enjoyed watching this video...Thanks to both of you! Take Care!

[@GrimBrotherIV]

This was fantastic. Hope you guys do more together in the future!

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

[@Blockhead369]

[@mclyker]

Serious stuff made lots of fun. Thanks guys!

[@hambone7777777]

I know you're supposed to be on You Tube also, James... And your message is spot on Mr. Lovell... Fantastic interviews gents\warriors.

[@smu1129]

I am definetely glad I have watched that! Pros goofing around is always a win in my book. Also, Mr. Yeager comes across in a surprisingly likeable manner, in stark contrast to most of his other videos. Which is, in no way, a judgement of his videos' content. Also: Thanks for the jab at the gearaholics. That made me laugh.

[@skipdawg702]

Yeager is a good man! In person, hes just a dude like all of us.

[@jamesgreen4522]

Yes it was a good interview. I had the good fortune to meet James a few years back and he is a hell of a guy. He is just like he is on videos, like him or hate him he does not care. I like that.

[@kylelassiter1044]

I completely believe there are callings to many things, not just preaching. You do this well, in terms of teaching James. I like your classes.

[@usMarinecuv902]

I love it when my subscriptions on KZbin collide. I've been subbed to James for years I subbed to do it with Dan a year ago A few months ago Dan told me about John. And now John is interviewing James. It all comes together

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+FutureMarinecuv902 the circle is complete Tie Fighter. 🤗🤓😉

[@donalberda1344]

It’s so nice to see James after his last adventure! Knock that off the bucket list.👍

[@rben1624]

I love this channel more each time! Good stuff man!

[@richardjohnson8599]

Absolutely Awesome!!! I can't stand a "Tactical Instructor" type that can't laugh, that doesn't seem human. It takes all kinds in this world. Good interview guys. Keep teaching, keep protecting, be safe. God Bless

[@0552steve]

No. Not a waste of my time. Thanks JL for the intro to James Yeager and the list of instructors you mentioned.

[@Not_Mussolini_]

This needs to happen again. Well done John.

[@matthewstreeter8805]

Love it guys!!! Thanks to you both. Love the topic of conversation. I agree you have to have the heart question answered and be on the same page with God if you want to be serious about your role as a protector.

[@mistermusik]

Holy shit! Man, these guys are great. I’m just stunned that they are so aware.

[@stillenacht8518]

Totally worth. You guys together are great.

[@konicu]

this video is so much win. the interview almost just ended in shooting the breeze. lol

[@RedboneCH]

Now this was an awesome interview. Funny and real. Nice.

[@RobbySk8erBoi]

"This is a gearbook but it mentions mindset" resonated with me. Best mindset book I've found was "The book of five rings" second was "Hagakure"

[@NathanDuP]

Great informal video James & John! For a Newby in the world of firearms like myself, your videos have provided me with solid fundamental knowledge in not only firearms but personal character traits to learn and develop.

[@wafflbonkr]

Love this candid discussion of faith haha Thank you guys

[@TheVikingSailor]

I just saw this for the first time. Thanks for the laugh that was awesome. Two good dudes.

+Pierre-Joseph Kamel thx man! Welcome

[@believethehype8936]

This was a great video! When I saw their two mugs on the video I thought, Oh I have to see this. Love the Dynamic between these two. Different personalities that just work. A Perfect display of the DRC. Diplomacy, Respect and Camaraderie. Would love to learn from these two.

[@gunna2cool]

Great interview, glad I watched it

[@229glock]

Great throwback video of you two.

[@rsbrehm]

Me Likey! See, the sense of humor was what I liked about James's youtube channel back years ago. The best, peace y'all.

[@pro2civilian753]

John - "But, this is my interview..." lmfao! XD

Entertaining hope to train with both of you.God bless!

I'd love to see a force on force drill with these two against Haley and Costa.

[@Axiomaticness]

This was a fun interview!

[@marklayton5374]

Bloody fantastic. Love you guys.

[@chelikhkahn]

Props for the interview! 😁💪

[@user-dv8ge8hf1o]

Please do more of these with awesome guys like Clint Smith, Travis Haley, and, Reid Heinrich. I'm sure there are many more awesome instructors out there I have not mentioned. Yeager has done a lot to discredit the profession.

[@JohnG1000]

Just subscribed . I've been watching your videos for a couple of days now on my free time. You have some good advice and seem to be real level headed. Would love to see a John Lovell vs Jerry Miculek shooting video.

[@oneonebravo11B]

I’m a Surgeon, and I’d recommend getting that lymph node on your R neck looked at. It’s concerning. Good luck and glad you are back.

[@oneonebravo11B]

Never mind. I just looked at the date. Glad it wasn’t anything too bad.

[@brianjarrell9203]

I believe I remember him saying it is a bullet fragment.

[@tonydowd8566]

Definitely one of my favorite Yeager vids.

[@jmo0311]

That was awesome. You guys go at it like brothers.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+The2ndPatriot ha! James is a riot

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+James Yeager why are you so sweaty??

[@jh-fb7ss]

Man, I laughed hard watching this! Good job! lol!

[@surfersoldierforchrist5928]

In Eastern Cape province they're still scared...of being crammed into a Toyota Tazz by rustlers.

[@backdoor5993]

It was fun to watch the interaction. I watch both of you, you're both vastly different, and at the same time similar. Good interview!

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+bmud first thanks and yes we are and yes we ar

[@ericfitzgerald4249]

Just wanted to say love what your doing thank you for your service if your ever out Seattle Washington way would love to take your class an thank you again

[@BrianMcKinny]

That was a lot of fun! :)

Watching in 2022… good interview.

I don't really care for JY but I did enjoy this video and the banter.

[@billyburd789]

[@zackp5294]

[@BCmachine]

Hilarious interview. Loved it.

[@brianbrown4303]

Two of my favorite gun channels ever. Throw in demo ranch and Paul harrel in one video with these guys and you tube dreams came true.

[@emv1031]

John, recently stumbled on your channel... great stuff. Is there a video where you address YOUR points of view on these theological aspects you asked James?????

[@MeesterGonzalez]

LOVE James' response on following God's plan for him as a protector/defender and teacher. Awesome! Love you both, maaaan! (platonically...bro!)

[@FernandoGarcia-qe3oc]

Great video. Not a hater been watching James for sometime. And yes mindset, very important 👍🏼

[@larrykaminer8725]

Regardless of what people think of James, the thing that stands out to me is his individuality and conviction to speak his mind and train they way he sees best. He also said it. 50 plus folks who have thanked him for the skills and training / mindset that he imparted that helped folks save their lives!! There is a lot of information out there. Its up to us to us to assimilate and take away what is best for each of us.

[@BatmanShampoo]

Not sure if this has been addressed, but my assumption is that tie fighters and x wings bank in space due to the g forces exerted on the pilots during those maneuvers, as humans are less comfortable and tolerant of lateral g forces. Now the bank angles don't match that theory, but that's just the movie magic isn't it?

[@jaredmendez9705]

JustinMorales91 NERD! JK

[@thepewplace1370]

I would assume its because, as shown in the cutaway books that (used to be) canon, they are still using directional thrusters/vectoring to perform their maneuvers (as opposed to something in other scifi like gravity well projection or similar that "pulls" on spacetime and pulls the vehicle towards/around a point). IE a TIE fighter/X wing has nozzles at the back that vector/slew to direct a pushing force, and due to the lack of medium to fly through, would also have to have lateral/vertical thrusters somewhere forward of the center of gravity (similar to bow thrusters on long cruisers/house boats), but because these vehicles are set up for atmospheric flight as well, with the appropriate control surfaces, they use almost the same controlled vectoring for maneuvers in vacuum as they do in atmo.

[@ralphyboy3856]

@JohnLuvell I bumped into your video looking for an apendix holster. Very good demonstrations on how to draw and wear them. I have to say i did go with Gcode the one with the mag caddy still getting use to it. I follow you and also @carrytrainer, Mickey both you guys are straight foward no BS on your video's lots of knowledge you give to us and its FREE. Thankz again

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Ralph Lugo Gcode is a good rig I think you'll be happy with. Welcome to the WPS

[@TheJG247G]

Love it great vibe, would love to chill with you to and discuss any and everything

[@rdb8509]

That was funny as hell. Am going on Yeager' channel to subscribe now.

And no it was a superb interview. 💯

I'm in dalton ga. Where can I find your info for your classes

[@bradchenoweth7584]

I did not realize Yeager was a Starwars fan... freaking awesome.

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. James is a legend.

[@armedcitizen1268]

“Stop!... let me talk.” “It’s my interview!”

[@mbenjamin292]

1 million thumbs up I hope you all do more vids together.

[@69gunnr]

Hey John, yes it was a great interview. 2 guys shooting the shit laughing and talking about a myriad of things with humor.... It's good. James and his people at TR just rock. I hope to have the pleasure to meet James some day...

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+69gunnr I hope you do too. Sign up for a TR class!

[@69gunnr]

when I can afford it and have the time I intend to. I live in Pahrump NV and train at Front Sight at a very low cost. I want to go to various places to train (more school is a better education) TR will be one of the first on my list. It's a long way to go but the knowledge is priceless.
