This was a great interview. Carr is such a warrior and gentleman. I love how he gets his inspiration etc. I was a Marine for 29 years and served as a MSG in Paris France, and Prague Czechoslovakia and did several mini tours, of which one was in Beirut in 1987. I retired out of the Marine Corps reserve as a LtCol in 2012. Also was an American living in Iran with my parents during the Iranian revolution, which got me very interested in foreign affairs, military, cultural/religious issues. This experience led me to joining the Marine Corps and later joining CIA, which I just retired from. I am not much of a fiction reader (I know Carr wants to change that, and after this interview maybe I will start), but I LOVED Terminal List and am looking forward to True Believer! Keep up the great work John. And CARR don't ever stop being you....Semper Fi!!!!
Very interesting background! While reading your comment, I couldn’t help be reminded of Andy Danreb, a very cool character that is introduced in TRUE BELIEVER.
John is such a great interviewer - the way his channel has developed over the years is excellent. Jack is such a treasure. I am so glad he’s out there writing and I loved the tv adaptation of the Terminal List
The terminal list got me back into reading again, love the series and also picked up warrior poet way for my son and myself, but now my daughter is reading it, so I’m buying her a copy. Love reading again.
This interview absolutely made my day. Two of my hero’s sitting down for a chat. Thanks to both John and Jack for all you do to educate, encourage, and support this great nation and its people. Train Hard Train Smart and Never Tell Me the Odds.
I’ve loved reading since I learned how. It’s such a blessing to see my oldest son reading now. He truly enjoys it. I’m currently teaching my youngest son to read.
Jack and his monthly book recommendation videos he did a few years ago got me back into reading. I was someone who maybe finished a book a year, now I clock over 40 books a year and absolutely love reading. Jacks passion and enthusiasm for reading and books was/is infectious, thank you Jack.
Okay, so after recently subscribing to Warrior Poets, and listening to this interview, I read Red Sky Mourning. Mr Carr, you have two new fans. I finished the book in 3 days, then passed it on to my husband, a long time Jack Reacher fan, who also devoured your book. I also listened to the Audio version which added another rich layer of threads to the tapestry of your storytelling. Now, I am going back to the very beginning to see where James Reece's story began. Thank you for this rich treasure trove of words woven together so intricately and with such passion for your craft.
Great interview! Thanks for bringing it to us. I remember that I was thrilled to hear that one of my favorite books was becoming a tv series, and I hope they continue to do justice to all of Jack's books. I finished Red Sky Mourning, and it has become my new favorite!
Love this book series. James Reece is a beast. Thank you Jack Carr for amazing books. Thank you John Lovell for having him on the show. Thank you both for your service to this country.
Speaking to Jack’s experience in Jamaica, one of my most fond memories was sitting in Oxford, eating dinner and having a couple pints sitting in the pub where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien would gather with friends to brainstorm and read their works aloud. As a fan of their works, it was a surreal experience. [Edit: Lol, wild that John mentioned C.S. Lewis immediately afterward 😂]
Agree! I’ve been there, it’s called “Eagle and Child”. So cool to enjoy a pint where two of my favorite authors would meet for a pint and conversation!
The poet TS Elliot was also one of their “drinking & thinking” buddies. I haven’t been to the UK yet but when I do, will definitely have a few pints here!
@@freidrichnietzsche6643 Yep, the pub is called “The Eagle & Child” but the locals in Oxford call it “The Bird & Baby”. If you want to read more about Tolkien, Lewis and their literary group, they called themselves The Inklings.
For reading. Your competition is that I have to read all day long for work and I do not want to in the evening and its a time factor. But.... Iove audio books and listen constantly while driving and working around the house.
All of Jack Carr's books are awesome. And yes, he is developing his gift as each book is written. Thank you for your service to our country and the truthfulness of your writing. I do hear your your voice. Are you aware that you are following your spiritual path? May the Lord continue to bless you. Respectfully, Elaine
I first read the Terminal list when I was in holding company at Camp Pendleton. It was an awesome ride. Already bought and read Red Sky. Thank you Mr. Carr it has been a wonderful journey thus far
Love his genuine character, his background and books are incredible and this brings him closer to a regular guy status but I can see his genius at the same time. Thanks John for sharing this wonderful person.
I love the fact that i can relate to a lot of these locations through the deployments with the marine corps and my 12 years as a contractor(wps). Love all the different think tank concepts brought to the books as well. Great book! Bad news is i blazed through it and have to wait for another lol!
I saw Star Wars in the theater when it was just "Star Wars" not "A New Hope".... And, Offgrid Homestead could indeed also be a castle! Thanks for the awesome interview guys! I can't wait for more Terminal List, the books AND the show.
Outstanding interview!! Bravo Zulu to both John and Jack for leading and inspiring us from the front. You HAVE to put up the video of you two on the range when that happens!!!! Stay safe and healthy & Check 6! -Cold War Carrier Veteran. MM3 CVN-68
Here’s one of those comments that sit in the back of your head and occupy space that you wish didn’t. And also for the UA-cam algorithm. Love you and Jack’s creative content. 👍🏼
Jack, as an NROTC Midn in 1985, our AMOI, SSGT, was at the Barracks. He told his story. He was coming off night patrol heading back to get some rack time. As he was walking back one of his buddies was heading out to search for something and asked for his help. He got brow beat into helping and it saved his life. As an 18 y/o Midn listening to that was sobering. Can't wait to read that book.
Outstanding interview. Love all of Carr’s books. Can’t wait to get the current one. I read a lot of fiction, Ian Fleming, Alistair McClain when I was young and various authors since then, Tom Clancy, W. E. B. Griffin, C. J. Box to name a few. I like historical military works such as 13 Hours, Neptune’s Inferno, Blackhawk Down, Band Of Brothers, etc. But get me into something like philosophy and I am out like a light. What amazes me, though, and I never gave it much thought until recently, is the writing process. Taking an idea for a book and finishing it up with the final chapter. I can’t imagine the focus it takes a writer like Carr to push out a book every 12 to 16 or 18 months. To me that is phenomenal and I have a tremendous amount of respect for authors. Thank you, gentlemen.
I’ve been listening to the Terminal List series for a couple months now. I’m currently on his 5th book, “In The Blood” and it is fantastic! “Savage Son” is still my favorite though. Can’t wait to check out his book about Beirut, as it’s an event that happened before my time, but is something I’d want to learn more about.
I admit i haven't read much since i got out of high school and im pushing 40 this year, however, i love my audio books. This year alone I've listened to your book on audible, 1984, one second after series, day of wrath, America falls series, and quite a bit of content on ancient civilizations and some books by Billy Carson. I also enjoy the Shawn Ryan show podcasts, making the argument with Nick F., and Joe Rogan podcasts, these generally fill my work day.
Love this guy. I’ll run to buy the books he wrote. And of course I really like you and this format. I would like there’s someone like you in my Country
I only recently in the past 6 years got into reading and honestly I do not like the idea of digital books. I firmly believe books are the way to go as it was said here in the podcast best way to be a well informed citizen.
I've bought 3 copies of Mr. Carr's books. I hope it helps put a little jingle in his pocket. Anyone that writes like he does, I'm gonna support. I've got your book too Mr. Lovell.
Excellent interview and I hope Joh n you get to spend some time with “Jack” and have opportunity to pull on the Bible & religious threads offline - again great conversation and some good outside the norm questions to make Jack think - Bravo!
Great video. A young friend of mine was still in the navy and was on the carrier that parts of Tears of the Sun was filmed on. I forget his title but he had something to do with the weapons they used.
Proudly i can say i read to my daughter before she was born. I would lay across moms belly and read to Audrey. She would kick me in the head most of the time but now she is a reader, she loves to read and now, at 15, she is studying creative writing...
Just finished Red sky mourning. It's epic! I wonder did Mr. Carr got sponsorship from the guns & gears industry? Because in the book he name dropped so many companies and their products while describing them in details. Sometimes it feels like product inserts in the movies.
Cut me to the core when he said every middle aged man should have amassed enough books to call it a library. Last time I moved I was so tired of moving stuff we sold a lot of our belongings. Among those was a large part of our book collection. Once we moved it just felt empty and now we are buying books left and right, books we’ve read and owned before as well as ones we’ve never read. I am still only able to say I have some books. No library yet. Lesson: never sell your books!
Jack seems like such a genuine, cool dude
He sure is.
The terminal list series is one of my favorite book series.
The amount of wisdom and leadership in this interview is 🔥

Thank you!
CMDR Carr is an incredibly sharp guy. He's a fantastic author and I can't recommend his books enough.
Sounds like someone else needs to write a book! Quite a career!
Very interesting background! While reading your comment, I couldn’t help be reminded of Andy Danreb, a very cool character that is introduced in TRUE BELIEVER.
I listened to red sky morning in one weekend fishing the river and it was incredible. I wish they would never end
I know what you mean. When I get near the end of a JC James Reece novel, I get a little sad that it's going to end soon.
Great interview with Jack Carr. He's my favorite author without a doubt. Thanks for all you do, John.
John is such a great interviewer - the way his channel has developed over the years is excellent.
Jack is such a treasure. I am so glad he’s out there writing and I loved the tv adaptation of the Terminal List
Two Rennesance men hashing it out, reading, philosophy, the Ethos of being men. Love it. You better film any range time you spend with Jack!!
The terminal list got me back into reading again, love the series and also picked up warrior poet way for my son and myself, but now my daughter is reading it, so I’m buying her a copy. Love reading again.
Well done gentlemen, peace to you and your families 🕊️
This interview absolutely made my day. Two of my hero’s sitting down for a chat. Thanks to both John and Jack for all you do to educate, encourage, and support this great nation and its people. Train Hard Train Smart and Never Tell Me the Odds.
Dude, I love Carr's library. Sweet mercy!
Right?! Super jealous! 😊
Love both of these men. So happy to see em together
I've read all his books and I'm currently reading Red Sky Morning 💪
I’ve loved reading since I learned how. It’s such a blessing to see my oldest son reading now. He truly enjoys it. I’m currently teaching my youngest son to read.
My favorite series right now. I’d love to have a pour of Hooten Young with Jack. Seems very genuine!!
Didn't read books at all, but now jack carrs books got me back in, about to start the 3rd book
The mashup I've been waiting for for years!!!!!
Jack and his monthly book recommendation videos he did a few years ago got me back into reading. I was someone who maybe finished a book a year, now I clock over 40 books a year and absolutely love reading. Jacks passion and enthusiasm for reading and books was/is infectious, thank you Jack.

Finished red sky mourning today. Another great book in the series. Would love to see John and Jack talk about just about anything.
"The Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read" -Mark Twain
Not true, in the sense he can still understand warning labels ("High Voltage" etc etc etc), whereas the man who can't read isn't even able to do that.
Great interview! Thanks for bringing it to us.
I remember that I was thrilled to hear that one of my favorite books was becoming a tv series, and I hope they continue to do justice to all of Jack's books.
I finished Red Sky Mourning, and it has become my new favorite!
LOVE the James Reece books and TV series. Keep 'em coming Jack.

Awesome! I love Jack’s books. I don’t read a lot of fiction, but his are a guilty pleasure.
Next up, we need an interview with Paul Harrell!
Very good interview!! Thanks 👍 God bless y'all!!!!
I love this dudes office/Library
Excellent interview that covers a lot of the stuff we discussed earlier.
Great show!!! Loved Terminal List show. Will pick up the book series.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jack in Texas during his '23 book tour. Awesome human, and hands down my favorite author.
I’m so glad to get my hands on the latest book. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it.
I've read all the books and still reading Red Sky Mourning, James Carr keeps knockin' it out of the ballpark.
Great interview! Almost finished with Red Sky Mourning. Jack always delivers! 👍
Amazing interview, congrats to you both.
I like this guy so much! Thanks for having him as a guest 🇨🇦
Great interview!
Very excited about the new shows coming out
I love the fact that i can relate to a lot of these locations through the deployments with the marine corps and my 12 years as a contractor(wps). Love all the different think tank concepts brought to the books as well. Great book! Bad news is i blazed through it and have to wait for another lol!
I saw Star Wars in the theater when it was just "Star Wars" not "A New Hope".... And, Offgrid Homestead could indeed also be a castle! Thanks for the awesome interview guys! I can't wait for more Terminal List, the books AND the show.

Loved the Terminal list on Amazon! I served 23 yrs in the Army . yeah there was some whatever stuff . but the story was awsome!
Outstanding interview!!
Havnt had a chance to listen to this yet but pumped my fist when the notification popped up. This is gonna be fire
I admit i haven't read much since i got out of high school and im pushing 40 this year, however, i love my audio books.

I have one problem with Jack Carr books once I pick it up can't put it down. Love your books Jack keep them coming.
A guy like Jack Carr needs more time!!!!! This was really great!
just finished red sky, really digged it! def hits close to home with the mission set this book
Love this guy. I’ll run to buy the books he wrote.

Great Interview
What I like about his books is that they feel like just as much warning as story.
I've bought 3 copies of Mr. Carr's books. I hope it helps put a little jingle in his pocket. Anyone that writes like he does, I'm gonna support. I've got your book too Mr. Lovell.
Always enjoy listening 👍🇺🇸
finished red sky morning this morning. Great book
Let's go I can't wait to see this new video!
The tv series of Terminal List was great. Now I ha e to read all his books!!!!!
The collision of 2 of my favorite worlds it's a great way to start the morning....
Love reading! Guess it started as a child in the early sixties reading comic books.
Both of these American heroes are the mold that forms the true masculine good man. Thank you gentlemen.
💥BOOM💥NO WAY!?! Lovell and Carr in the same location?!?
Excellent interview and I hope Joh n you get to spend some time with “Jack” and have opportunity to pull on the Bible & religious threads offline - again great conversation and some good outside the norm questions to make Jack think - Bravo!
What a great guy Jack is.
My middle aged library was sold off during our retirement move. Jack’s books would have made great additions to those literary works.
Thank you.
I really need to start reading this guys novels
Great video. A young friend of mine was still in the navy and was on the carrier that parts of Tears of the Sun was filmed on. I forget his title but he had something to do with the weapons they used.
Great TV show adapted from a great book series! Can't wait to get started on Red Sky Mourning (sorry to say I'm late to the game).
Happy birthday Jack
Jack Carr’s books are great 😊
Been waiting for a new upload😆
Proudly i can say i read to my daughter before she was born. I would lay across moms belly and read to Audrey. She would kick me in the head most of the time but now she is a reader, she loves to read and now, at 15, she is studying creative writing...
Can we choose an off-grid Castle? Solar, wells and outher water collection, garden in the center court, ballistas, ect sounds lit.
Thinking the exact same thing, plus it has that spooky factor at night
I will NEVER be able to unsee this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just finished Red sky mourning. It's epic! I wonder did Mr. Carr got sponsorship from the guns & gears industry? Because in the book he name dropped so many companies and their products while describing them in details. Sometimes it feels like product inserts in the movies.
That library has a secret switch that flips the walls and turns into a fully stocked armory, doesn't it? I'm so jealous.
😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing.
I'd never give up my hard copies (books) - WiFi and electricity can go out, but a book in hand is a comfort and can be loaned or reread many times.
100 pages in and great so far!
jack! photos of all your books on those shelves please!
I literally just got all 7 books recently, and I can't put them down. I'm already on book 4!!
two great dudes!

Amen and Amen
Nailed it with the firefighters watching firefighter movies lol
UA-cam in the right corners, has a lot of interesting content in a more condensed and accessible format, on non fiction subjects.
Man love all those books! Incredibly realistic
audible brought me back to books
