dennis wolff Clint is not any.. any. He is wise like not many people on this planet. Today what is "normal" it is far far from normal. Raw Clint is what give You, Real Right Point of view on life. You should have God in Heart and Clint in Head.
@@RED1775-u No clue, but what I said is still true. And thats incredibly general too, plenty of places do it so they can have stores in CA and not have store by store policy.
Thank you to James and Ryan for one of the funnest interviews we had done in a long time! Looking forward to getting you both back here on the ranch for some more shooting! Semper Fi Clint and Heidi
Clint, thank you for your service to our Country sir! A year after my Dad and Mom got married, my Dad got drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam. While my Dad was over there, he was exposed to Agent Orange. Then in 1989, when I was in high school, my Dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, directly linked to Agent Orange. Our family lost everything, literally, overnight. My Dad was a long distance truck driver from the time he graduated high school, until his diagnosis. He is now 71, almost completely 100% immobile, is in a wheelchair, and requires continuous home care. He gets seen and treated at the VA, but they don’t do a lot to help him. Nor has the Government, even though they are the ones responsible for his disease, and losing not only his career, but everything he ever had, they have done virtually very little for him. No monetary settlement, no 24/7 care at their expense etc.. They do have him set up for some home health care but continuously try and take away the amount he gets. We then have to threaten with law suites so they do not decrease his care, even though his disease continues to get worse. Seeing all of the crap that my Dad has had to go through and then fight for rights and care rightfully entitled and due to him, it has made me appreciate and empathize what you all have gone through! So again, thank you very much for your service sir! And for your videos. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and your videos.
Yeap, mine too. I can still hold a couple extra shells in my fingers and keep it reloaded as fast as need be! Dove hunting as a 12 or 13 yr old taught me how to Keep a shell under the hammer ALL the time! Old guys used to sit in the shade and gamble on my missing a bird!
Had a single shot 16 ga years ago, and for some reason my brother, brother in law and a number of others would hound me about buying that light scatter gun all the time. They are just handy, light and simple. What's not to like.
except that he just explained that the only alcohol he's ever had in his life was half a beer back in the 80's lol..... but I definitely relate to the basis of your point. He's definitely a good ol' gun lovin' American boy who isn't soft as baby shit and feminized like 95% of millennials now days...
Here ya go: Paul Harrell, Clint Smith and Massad Ayoob in the same room. The room would explode from the critical mass of testosterone. Hell, the only person who could conduct a proper interview would be Chuck Norris.
James, I am super jealous. You are truly blessed to have met such a legend and I am sure you felt honored to be able to sit and chat with the man. Great video, brother!
Wow, it's funny how fast people get pissed off. . . well they didn't have to read the comments on the video they disliked (EDITED) probably cuz they were looking for a fight.
Had to pause the video to say, I inherited my Granddaddy Duncan's Stevens 410 single shot and have since passed it to my son. It WAS MY very first gun and it killed lots of rabbits!
Probably one of my favorite parts of this interview was actually a picture of James and Clint in the class, and Clint's shirt said "staff." Speaks volumes about him...
Clint Smith is a man's Man and a patriot's Patriot. He IS a True American, Period. Enough good things could never be said about Clint Smith. ~What a Great Video. I thank you both.
If asked if i could meet anyone in history, living or dead, who would it be? Clint smith is definitely on the short list. Ive had a job that allowed me to meet many, many celebrities, atheletes, etc , and clint is way more appealing than any of them. Just good old fashioned, down to earth, straight talking guys are getting to be harder to find. Then this video tells me he is also a fellow hoosier just makes it even better.
Papi Maximus then you can understand why i chose my words carefully when i said he was on the SHORT LIST. list being the key word here. And if you really want to pick nits, the phrase “short list” is relative and you have no way of knowing what MY definition of the term is for the statement. If you consider that there have been untold hundreds of millions(?) of people that have lived throughout history, i could actually put a thousand people on the list and may define that as a “short list”. Quit trying to sound like a know-it-all and correcting other people who are just making positive comments about something they enjoy. Not only do i not care about your opinion on my comment, but i also dont need to be corrected on what i meant to say.
Two things I admire most are his answer to "what is your greatest accomplishment" and how he spoke of his beloved dog(s). Having lost two of my dogs this year, Argos and Hildy, I can see on his face how much his furry baby meant to him instantly.
i love how when he was asked "what was your greatest accomplishment", his was really trying think then said he didn't have any... i mean usually anyone would have a couple things they did in life that they like to brag about, or even something they honestly feel proud about it, and this guy admitted he never did anything "great" in his life, and his proud just to be able to wake up every day, and live a life that he enjoys... respect
For a gun guy, having a mag signed by Clint, is like having a Shelby Cobra signed by Carroll for a car guy. I could watch "clint interviews" all night long. Thank you both.
Just watched the interview with Clint, really like him, and make me laugh.i just seen your interview on a pop up and watched it, I just subscribed to the channel thanks for the interview 😎☕️👍
Clint Smith is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever listened to on firearms. I was born and raised in eastern Oregon, I could throw a rock across the snake river into Idaho. I sincerely hope one day to be able to go to Thunder Ranch in southern Oregon (I faught fire down there in my younger days) and gain more useful knowledge from the “Buddha” Clint Smith. 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you for having these amazing videos with Clint the legend for us!!! The knowledge saved in these files are priceless, I hope I get to go to one of his classes one day. Again, thank you for the videos with Clint, Ive been watching all of them!
Wow! "probably when my hair was darker, and my heart was lighter, Vietnam"... That answer seemed to hit me hard in the chest, and I am 25'ish years junior to Clint. Great interview, with an awesome man...
Most of the time, a person's best quotes will be when it just pops out off the top of his head and will be and remain the most memorable as time goes by.....
James you really caught me by surprise. Interviewing Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch is the best in my opinion. And he likes Glock-17; I wish he had added two more numbers.
Nothing but respect for that man, but he’s kind of nothing to me until he admits the 1911 .45 ACP is dead. Great interview James! Clint rocks. 9 > 45 😏 fight me.
Im from Poland..I dont understand. Why Clint is not Your president?
LOL;-)
Prep Sho ANY BODY BETTER THEN DRAFT DODGER DONALD TRUMP

@@denniswolff7300 Fuck off, loser.
Because he knows it's more trouble than it's worth and he's already fuckin GOD in the gun world.
"Have you ever been inside a whole foods"..... lord clint: "a whut?"
I carry my 380acp (AIWB) in to WF all the time.....no joke, Clint and I have very little in common
Hands down the best part of the interview. 🤣
Its owned, and is a funder for the Republican party. So not a liberal store at all.
TK uhhhhh then why do they forcefully eject you from their stores if you are armed....?
@@RED1775-u No clue, but what I said is still true. And thats incredibly general too, plenty of places do it so they can have stores in CA and not have store by store policy.
There's more gravel in that voice than my driveway.
Sounds like scruffy the dog
👍🏻 👍🏻 I think that was standard issue for brass balled Vietnam Veterans that saw multiple combat tours.
My life won’t be complete until I hear him say
“Uhh....ok bawse”
It’s a little scary if you know what Clints voice really sounds like. I hope he’s okay.
@@Syrpens
What do you mean?
Thank you to James and Ryan for one of the funnest interviews we had done in a long time! Looking forward to getting you both back here on the ranch for some more shooting! Semper Fi Clint and Heidi
Great interview. Clint still rocking it!! Semper Fi and happy Thanksgiving to Thunder Ranch.

So, did anyone crack wise about those short shorts from that training? Those things were pretty hilarious.
@@j.r.777 just read your post, it saddens me how your country looks after freedom fighters.
Yay! Booty shorts!
"Your Mom was wrong, sometimes violence is the answer..."
"My hair was darker and my heart was lighter!" Clint just quoted Lee Marvin in his role in "The Professionals!"
Cool!
My favorite part was watching Jame's physical discomfort at the thought that people still use and like single shot shotguns.
Yeap, mine too.
I can still hold a couple extra shells in my fingers and keep it reloaded as fast as need be! Dove hunting as a 12 or 13 yr old taught me how to Keep a shell under the hammer ALL the time! Old guys used to sit in the shade and gamble on my missing a bird!
Have to be good to use them :-)
the best was seeing him hear how the 1911 is his favorite gun
Or when he made fun of appendix carry...
Had a single shot 16 ga years ago, and for some reason my brother, brother in law and a number of others would hound me about buying that light scatter gun all the time. They are just handy, light and simple. What's not to like.
"All the cool logos were taken, like the dragons and the chickens." lmao
"I'm actually a motown guy." As if I needed another reason to like Clint Smith.
Also, that feeling when you think you've seen the guy that Clint Eastwood bases his characters on....
James is the sole reason why TFB is still good. This was a solid interview with one of the best Americans we have. 👌🏻
(sad Hop in the distance)
Hop
AND because our glorious host isn't a sellout.
a lot of wise words
Epically the coney island recommendation
I agree Clint is a legend!
"17"
i lol
You have one of the top comments on the Sippin On Some Syrup video… and on this video. You’re an animal.
Hard as a woodpeckers lips 😂
He seems like one of those legit old school badasses you'd love to have a beer with and just listen to his stories.
except that he just explained that the only alcohol he's ever had in his life was half a beer back in the 80's lol..... but I definitely relate to the basis of your point. He's definitely a good ol' gun lovin' American boy who isn't soft as baby shit and feminized like 95% of millennials now days...
Ok boomer
It was over steak, not a beer, but yeah, pretty much awesome.
@@SaraphDarklaw what kind of cringe-lord is still actually saying that? ........oh yea.... you.....
Ok boomer
Pity you couldn't swing by wherever boondocks Oregon he's hiding and a make a cameo in one of Paul Herrell's videos.
Here ya go: Paul Harrell, Clint Smith and Massad Ayoob in the same room. The room would explode from the critical mass of testosterone. Hell, the only person who could conduct a proper interview would be Chuck Norris.
Clints voice is probably shot cuz he wakes up every morning and sings along to thunderstuck.
Yep;-)
His voice is shot because he was actually shot.
Hilarious
You know, I'd have guessed Shoot to Thrill, but on further reflection, they both make perfect sense.
reallife Godfather from Generation Kill ;D
"You can't use any words you can't spell" . There is a ton of meat hidden in that saying . Words to live by .
By far my favorite Clint Smith video EVER. Clint's my favorite Boomer.
Nice! Knew most of his answers before he answered. Best one; "Longest you've stayed awake?" "Vietnam." Figures.
Monkeys, tigers and cobras, that would keep my ass awake!!!!!
The balls James showed us by training with Clint while wearing short shorts.
Literally his balls were hanging out
@@jonvilla1159 :-D! AAAAAAAAHHH! GEMME THE EYEBLEACH!
Anyone else get a boner?
Jack Mehoff LMAO
James is such a f'ing legend.
Take the best parts Wolverine, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, and Chuck Norris and you have this man.
"Your wife should live close to her momma." Words of wisdom
The look on Clint's face when he says "Vietnam....".
13:37
Sitting behind a table cuz Clint wouldn’t get in front of a camera with a man in shorts
or Hot Pants.... ;o)
"My hair was darker and my heart was lighter." Lee Marvin couldn't say it better.
Remember Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge"? He got the idea for the voice from Clint Smith!
Clint Smith is as hard Clint Eastwood pretended to be in film.
He's the real deal!!!!!
100%
Thunder Ranch was the best training I have received. I learned so much from Clint. I’m pumped to be going again this summer.
“I’m offended that your offended so we’re eve” great line
The only way this could've been any better would be if it were, "100 Questions with Clint Smith." I could listen to this all day!
At least another hour, what a cool dude.
James, I am super jealous. You are truly blessed to have met such a legend and I am sure you felt honored to be able to sit and chat with the man. Great video, brother!
An absolute honor and a privilege for me, of course.
He reminds me of my Father. R.I.P Clint Smith answes the questions with No BS an straight to the point.
Epic interview. Training with Clint is on the Bucket List. The man is a legend.
Dude! I just put that on my bucket list! It SEEMED unreal for me to consider that. I've been a fan of his for so long.
You should've asked what he thinks of the Pen-15 build
He should love it. It's got a tiny handguard on a super long barrel like Clint's DMR.
For the people who thumbed down... You are what's wrong with America.
J D YOU ARE WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA .....TOO MANY OVER OPINIONATED ASSHOLES LIKE YOU ....
Yeah how dare you be a fan of this honorable man that imparts wisdom on new generations for a greater cause. Fucking sickening.
@Evan Moyer Just curious, do you dislike the man himself or did you disagree with something he said here?
dennis wolff thanks for sharing your opinion, asshole
Wow, it's funny how fast people get pissed off. . . well they didn't have to read the comments on the video they disliked (EDITED) probably cuz they were looking for a fight.
" I'm not teaching finger painting " my new favorite
I cleared my throat about 20 times watching this.
*Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch* Nuff-Said. God Bless, fellas.
Had to pause the video to say, I inherited my Granddaddy Duncan's Stevens 410 single shot and have since passed it to my son. It WAS MY very first gun and it killed lots of rabbits!
Clint is more of a man than most of us. Listen. Learn. Pay attention to his wisdom. It’s real.
“AC/DC...pretty solid” just when I though Clint’s stock couldn’t go any higher...
You've had some great videos but this one is going to be historic!
My favorite gun guy. Clint Smith is indeed a legend. Thank you for this.
I could listen to that man for hours! Our Lord God has blessed earth with his presence! 1 of a kind!
When I started watching Thunder Ranch videos, the guy who played Harry Callahan and Josey Wales quickly became my *second* favorite guy named Clint.
I could listen to Clint Smith all day. He reminds me of Paul Harvey.
Holy, I learned so much more about Clint...the man is full of surprises!
That was fantastic. Clint has good humor and the questions asked were great.
Probably one of my favorite parts of this interview was actually a picture of James and Clint in the class, and Clint's shirt said "staff." Speaks volumes about him...
Clint Smith is a man's Man and a patriot's Patriot. He IS a True American, Period. Enough good things could never be said about Clint Smith.
~What a Great Video. I thank you both.
Clint Smith not only shouts out my hometown, but my favorite restaurant. 😊
Taking Clint back to his childhood was the most rewarding question of the bunch. Well done interview.
Clint is a badass.
Clint’s wisdom is priceless. A humble man is a great man
If asked if i could meet anyone in history, living or dead, who would it be? Clint smith is definitely on the short list.

I have been a teacher for 37 years. The most stirring part of this was to hear a master teacher talk about how much he loves teaching.
Clint is an absolute legend. Thank you for your service. Thank you for teaching. Thank you for not being afraid to say it how it is 👍
Two things I admire most are his answer to "what is your greatest accomplishment" and how he spoke of his beloved dog(s). Having lost two of my dogs this year, Argos and Hildy, I can see on his face how much his furry baby meant to him instantly.
That my man was totally badass! Clint is an awesome individual.
Mr. Smith just seems like such a cool guy to just hang around with!
This was the best interview of Clint Smith, Thanks TFB tv.

Coney Island for the WIN!!!!!! Know where I'm getting lunch tommorow!
This and the john wick series with TTI are some of the best videos on YT and I mean that james . Good shit brother
Clint and Heidi are FIRST CLASS PEOPLE!!! Definitely two people you want on your side!! Beautiful place!!
Just watched the interview with Clint, really like him, and make me laugh.i just seen your interview on a pop up and watched it, I just subscribed to the channel thanks for the interview 😎☕️👍
Fantastic interview, mainly ‘cause you told Clint to answer any way he chose; so refreshing to hear someone who speaks his mind with no PC bullshit.
3:44
So much for those laws, I feel bad for Clint.
God bless Clint!!!! Coneys, Tigers baseball, and Motown?????? Cool as hell
Would have loved him to say
Best movie : Toy story

Love Him And His Teachings.
15:18 James moving it on real quick there. Wanted to hear more of Clint's thoughts on Ed.
I have to much respect for this man. And i have alot in common with him too. What an American treasure
Hell yeah! Love this man
"Legend" Doesn't Even Come Close To Describing Mr. Smith ! God Bless You Sir ! From one Old Boomer LEO to Another!
This video doesnt have enough likes!!??! The Legend Clint Smith and James in short shorts?
Thank you for a great interview. Clint is a great American Hero.
This is great James thanks bro.
Wow!
"probably when my hair was darker, and my heart was lighter, Vietnam"... That answer seemed to hit me hard in the chest, and I am 25'ish years junior to Clint.
Great interview, with an awesome man...
Best TFB video ever.
Most of the time, a person's best quotes will be when it just pops out off the top of his head and will be and remain the most memorable as time goes by.....
He did two tours of Nam, I haven't done one of Air Supply.
1 tour in Nam w/bs and I'm not a living legend!
Imparting his plethora of knowledge to others is by far his greatest accomplishment.
His voice sounds like pouring gravel over sand paper and that's exactly what I needed.
I grew up in Detroit listening to Motown and Ernie Harwell broadcasting Tiger baseball! Clint is the real deal dude!
What's this 2 of my favorite UA-cam Gun guys on the same video 👍. Hek yeah Christmas in November this is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
“I’m teaching a Gun class not fingerprinting” LOL the man is a national treasure!
James you really caught me by surprise. Interviewing Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch is the best in my opinion. And he likes Glock-17; I wish he had added two more numbers.
I get teary eyed whenever I hear Clint speak.
Hey jame , great video,can make a video about your top favorite guns next.
Every time I hear Clint speak I learn something .
Nothing but respect for that man, but he’s kind of nothing to me until he admits the 1911 .45 ACP is dead.
