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.
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.
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...
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!
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!
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 😎☕️👍
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.
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.
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...
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.
James, next time you're in Oregon check in with Paul Harrell. I think everyone would love to see you do an interview with him. He is notoriously reclusive though when it comes to the gun community.
Clint Smith on open carry: “they are idiots, why would you give up the advantage of surprise? Part of the reason for carrying a gun is to gain back the element of surprise.” Print.
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.
Well, he certianly is a boomer. - Carries a 1911 - Thinks the AK is based on the STG44 - Thinks the AK is better than the AR - Shits on appendix carry. But at the same time man there are some pretty great knowledge bombs. - Don't buy shitty holsters.
Clint nailed it when he was talking about professional athletes. I stopped watching when they started hating America. Look, man. If this country sucks so much (the same country that allows you to make millions and millions of dollars playing a game), here's what you do. Stop taking a knee during the National Anthem...Instead, Don't Cash The Check.
I would like him to elaborate on appendix carry and being in a fight. I see appendix being the best place to carry in a fight. I have been in fights, not with my gun. But I feel it would be much easier for someone to grab it if it were anywhere else other than appendix.
Holy crap are you saying that you took a whole class using nothing but double tap ammunition?? Obviously it was sponsored but still, just image how paying for that out of pocket. Probably cost more just for the ammo then the actual class he took or the AR-15 he used it in. Bonkers!!
Not my greatest accomplishment but pretty cool when I received my expert Pistol certificate from Colonel Jeff Cooper at Gunsite in 1982 with Clint Smith as my instructor....
I like how James doesn’t elaborate on the Whole Foods question because Clint doesn’t know Whole Foods exists. Just moves on😂😂 James: Have you ever been inside of a Whole Foods? Clint: A what?
The ghost ping from the en-bloc. “You just shot 8 rounds of 30-06. No one’s gonna hear that”. Newest Clintism? 😂 But a better question re: AC/DC: Bon Scott era or Brian Johnson. . .
Im from Poland..I dont understand. Why Clint is not Your president?
LOL;-)

@@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 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.
Also, that feeling when you think you've seen the guy that Clint Eastwood bases his characters on....
"All the cool logos were taken, like the dragons and the chickens." lmao
"My hair was darker and my heart was lighter!" Clint just quoted Lee Marvin in his role in "The Professionals!"
Cool!
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
Sitting behind a table cuz Clint wouldn’t get in front of a camera with a man in shorts
or Hot Pants.... ;o)
"I'm actually a motown guy." As if I needed another reason to like Clint Smith.
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.
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 😂
"You can't use any words you can't spell" . There is a ton of meat hidden in that saying . Words to live by .
Thunder Ranch was the best training I have received. I learned so much from Clint. I’m pumped to be going again this summer.
Clint Smith is as hard Clint Eastwood pretended to be in film.
He's the real deal!!!!!
100%
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.
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.
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.
By far my favorite Clint Smith video EVER. Clint's my favorite Boomer.
You've had some great videos but this one is going to be historic!
Remember Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge"? He got the idea for the voice from Clint Smith!
"My hair was darker and my heart was lighter." Lee Marvin couldn't say it better.
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.
"Your wife should live close to her momma." Words of wisdom
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
The look on Clint's face when he says "Vietnam....".
13:37
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.
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!
“AC/DC...pretty solid” just when I though Clint’s stock couldn’t go any higher...
He reminds me of my Father. R.I.P Clint Smith answes the questions with No BS an straight to the point.
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.
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.
.....talking about his dog, wow stopped me in my tracks.
“I’m offended that your offended so we’re eve” great line
Would have loved him to say
Best movie : Toy story
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 😎☕️👍
I cleared my throat about 20 times watching this.

That was fantastic. Clint has good humor and the questions asked were great.

*Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch* Nuff-Said. God Bless, fellas.
His voice sounds like pouring gravel over sand paper and that's exactly what I needed.
When I started watching Thunder Ranch videos, the guy who played Harry Callahan and Josey Wales quickly became my *second* favorite guy named Clint.
Take the best parts Wolverine, Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, and Chuck Norris and you have this man.
" I'm not teaching finger painting " my new favorite
Holy, I learned so much more about Clint...the man is full of surprises!
My favorite gun guy. Clint Smith is indeed a legend. Thank you for this.
This and the john wick series with TTI are some of the best videos on YT and I mean that james . Good shit brother
I could listen to that man for hours! Our Lord God has blessed earth with his presence! 1 of a kind!

Clint is more of a man than most of us. Listen. Learn. Pay attention to his wisdom. It’s real.

What's not to love about a handful of G17, love my glock!!!!
3:44
So much for those laws, I feel bad for Clint.
I would watch Clint Smith teach a class on painting clay figurines. The man is walking testosterone.
"What was the best rifle ever invented?"
"In my opinion, The Sturmgewehr."
This man is based as fuck.
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!
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 👍

Ever been in a Whole Foods?

This man is Howling Wolf's long lost brother.
Aaaaand let me google "60 Minutes interview Clint Smith". This should be awesome.
Great interview, Clint is absolutely a legend.
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.
This was an absolutely awesome interview.
Well, he certianly is a boomer.
- Carries a 1911
- Thinks the AK is based on the STG44
- Thinks the AK is better than the AR
- Shits on appendix carry.
But at the same time man there are some pretty great knowledge bombs.
- Don't buy shitty holsters.
In all of UA-cam videos out there, this is now my favorite.

He may not have a good answer other than he just doesn't want to blow his junk. He is awesome, but, I don't agree with everything he says.
Holy crap are you saying that you took a whole class using nothing but double tap ammunition?? Obviously it was sponsored but still, just image how paying for that out of pocket. Probably cost more just for the ammo then the actual class he took or the AR-15 he used it in. Bonkers!!
That my man was totally badass! Clint is an awesome individual.
Not my greatest accomplishment but pretty cool when I received my expert Pistol certificate from Colonel Jeff Cooper at Gunsite in 1982 with Clint Smith as my instructor....
15:18 James moving it on real quick there. Wanted to hear more of Clint's thoughts on Ed.
I like how James doesn’t elaborate on the Whole Foods question because Clint doesn’t know Whole Foods exists. Just moves on😂😂
