I totally get it. At 42, I was diagnosed with cancer. They gave me about a 50-50 up front. I told my wife "I've had a good life. If it ends here, I consider myself a lucky man. A woman loved me. No matter what happens, you will be proud of me." I'm 50 now. still here. I'll be praying for James.
Russia is in charge, it will be a quick death for him. Hopefully body parts wo t be on tiktok. He is a good.man but his meds have him confused. Search Azo v articles
As someone who sees people with ALS for physical therapy, having MS myself, seeing James’ speech change, and ultimately hearing his decision is difficult to watch. Praying for you brother 🙏
@@loudieselj3165 most of the reason is because there is no "ALS test" that can give a diagnosis so it's more of a diagnosis of elimination - meaning you have to do tons of tests over the course of at least 6-12 months before everything that COULD be causing them is excluded other than ALS. There also has to be adequate passage of time to observe progression of symptoms because that is one part of the diagnosis. TLDR; cuz it's really complicated to diagnose and you don't tell someone they're going to die unless you know for sure (or at least as sure as humanly possible).
"fear of death only prevents life. It doesn't stop death" I don't recall where I heard or read that statement, but James Yeager absolutely drives it home.
@@trumpwon20204 troll.... I hope that you educate yourself and find solace in your heart that keeping ugly thoughts to yourself is the best thing to do when you disagree with another person's life choices. Live free neighbor.
@@carbonking53 absolutely. I wish I could recall the author. I want to say it was bible scripture, but I am not religious (in the typical sense" so I can't say for sure.
I’ve never witnessed a more honest, pragmatic, real, relevant,valuable, humbling, human conversation. Thank you both for sharing. Role models for us all.
James Yeager made me tear up...and he wasn't screaming or cussing at me. Damn, this was powerful. America needs men like this. This was the most Warrior Poet thing I have ever seen.
America has 1000s of men like this. We aren’t just the most powerful nation. We’re the most powerful peoples in the world. A lot of us know better than to get involved in any of this. James has trained his while live to fight and die for someone who’s needs his help. He deserves that chance
Ukraine dose not want him. The Ukraine foreign region is sending people to the Hotzone with no supplies. They purposely want foreign people to die in this war to help their cause. Don't believe me just look at their very own reports and please for god's sake PLEASE STOP listening to MSM and other BS News sights. Charity starts at home not the other side of the planet in a war you don't remotely understand. Is that what Freedom means today.
@@NoNo_IStay they are literally taking Americans passports and tearing them up and putting them on the front line. Ukraine is a cesspool of corruption. They are also shelling their own people in donbas. Klaus, soros, Hillary, Obama so on and so forth are supporting Ukraine is all you should need to know. BTW nice name.
James, my dad was a triathlete in top shape well into his 70s. He was diagnosed with cancer at 76 and died at 77. I saw his physical body wither away during that last year, but I will always remember him for the fucking stud that he was. fight on!
Existing gun law unjustly punishes and permanently removes 2nd amendment gun rights for drinking & driving. Who is the injured party to question in court, and who is the victim when all offenses are pull-over-and-blow arrests void of the accident, incident, victim, or injured party? (This crazy law denies Jurisprudence!) Michigan law says 3 DUIs in a lifetime create a permanent non-reversible felony. These newly created (Mom & Dad) non-violent criminals cannot hunt, and protect themselves, their wealth, or their family by firearm, ever! (A permanent felon!) The CRAZY LAW has a nexus with federal law and its based on imaginary death and destruction that drinking and driving often create and do not discriminate between "victim" and "victimless" offenses. (There's no distinction in law between driving accidents, incidents, or having a victim vs simple pull-over and blow arrests without a victim!) When DUIs are in fact victimless, without having an injured party or victim, the severity of punishment should never permanently remove 2nd amendment gun rights ... This law lacks distinction between the two classes (With Victim/Without Victim) offenses! THIS OBSCURE CRAZY LAW CREATES SLAVERY AND SERVITUDE OUT OF THIN AIR/..
@@turtletruth maybe the law was made because if your that stupid to be pulled over 3 separate times for Driving drunk you might be a fuk’n drunk… and Lord knows we don’t need drunks behind a fuk’n gun .
James Yeager/Tactical Response was my introduction to firearms. His videos started me on a path of love and understanding of freedom. Thank you for everything, Brother.
Hey clowns, going to Ukraine is a death sentence. Only a fool would want a foreigner to come and establish their freedom for them. Enough people have reported getting made and blown up.
I knew a guy who was dying slowly. I was assigned to stay by his side at work should he collapsed. He worked hard and had his hobbies. He didn't want to lay down and die. I feel like James is at this same place. But there are so many things we can learn from him. And the time with the family. I don't know anyone who doesn't love the guy.
"Your responsibility to be ready for the fight never ends." Thank you, James, not just for telling us this, but also for living it out. May we be worthy of your example.
and this country America is over run and you punks want to fight for a place that you don't have a dog in the fight are you punks smoking off the binden crack pipe
Shhhh….. Americans have always deployed as volunteers to war torn countries since our founding. Name a conflict and it’s a pretty good bet that there’s been an American contingent operating there. French Revolution, Crimean war (first one) Russian Revolution (on both sides) Spanish civil war, Mexican War(s) WWI, WWII, etc… I disagree with him going and I’m pretty sure John does as well. There’s way too many downsides to any American going over there. But sure, keep up the ad hominem attacks. Really mature.
Soooooo George Washington was a Demon. Gotcha…. So God telling the Israelites to slaughter everyone in cities and countries made Him and them demons. Gotcha. This is a perfect example of incongruous of thought and gross generalizations. There were and are people that fight because they are war mongers and psychopaths, just as there are those that fight just as hard and are lover’s of peace. From my experience those that like to throw out the “war monger” phrase are quite foolish to reality and often weak people scared of their own shadows.
@@decline.enjoyer There's always one douchebag, isn't there Collin? You just had to be him today. Probably every day, if I don't miss my guess. Carry on.
I trained with James and stayed in his home. This is gut wrenching to watch and listen to. James my prayers are with you every day. God bless you Brother. America needs more Men like you now more than ever.
I'll bite my tung on this one and be greatful I don't bite it off for suicidal out of anger 👆🤬🖕and yeah say what you want you can do so but have guns by tons coming by tomorrow if someday mess with the wrong one or piss off anyone whom will sleep in cells as long as needed to esp if ever in revenge of a loved one
Quote: "We always know how much money we have, but what we don't know is, how much time we have." Gave me the chills- thank you James- I'll make the best of your words and remember you saying them.

This made me cry. I have the upmost respect for James Yeager. Real human being, a mans man, and a true patriot. I hope a miracle happens and we have him for 20 more years. His content and character is a real inspiration.
This was the hardest and bittersweet video to date. Two of my hero’s having an honest conversation! Prayers to you both. Stay strong James Yeager! Thank you both for everything!
I don’t think anybody can watch this with a dry eye. Thank you James for everything that you’ve done is country and for us here on UA-cam for enlightening us with your knowledge. I will pray for you. May you walk with God on this last journey of yours, amen.
It's just heartwarming to see two such good friends joking and caring about each other. Both of you are just wonderful people and I appreciate your videos and what you do.
I, like most wasn’t a fan of James at first. After learning more about him and listening to him in different interviews, including WPS, have changed my mind. Seeing him like this is heartbreaking and prayers from my family will will start immediately. If James feels lead to do this, who am I or anyone else to judge. Love the conversation John and thank you both for your patriotism.
I had similar thoughts about Mr. Yeager initially. Turns out, he has a really dry sense of humor, and really sarcastic tone when he speaks. Actually reminds me a lot of my step dad. Looks and personality and even character.
So he fights for other countries politicians but thinks Trump grammas should rot in jail for the super duper " insurrection" like Black rifle Coffee company.
@@starrynightpoolspacare186 you are involved in the wrong conversation with the wrong people considering your views bubba. Please don't stoke this fire. Be on your way unless you truly want to understand the viewpoint of the Americans that tend to disagree with your current opinion.
@@starrynightpoolspacare186 you just called out a dying man standing up for what he believes in. Does that make you feel like a really big and strong powerful man now?
James Yeager, I believe, has done everything for what he believes was right. The same goes for John Lovell. It’s a shame that James is finally fighting a fight that he can’t win. This video will be a beautiful memorial, and a reminder of the time before the fights we will be fighting a few years from now. I for one, will be praying for James, John, and all the other great fighters we owe an urepayable debt to. Thanks to James and men like him we will be better prepared for the hard times that I’m sure are ahead of us. Godspeed James.
Man, how heartbreaking. Seeing James being that vulnerable was a beautiful thing. I love how he just refuses to feel sorry for himself and how blessed he feels to have led the life he has lived. God be with him and his family during this difficult time. What an amazing way to honor your friend John. Love you guys.
"When have we not been pawns?" His complete honesty and humility in acknowledging what he knows that he does not know, makes him a master of being truly enlightened in his self awareness. It's so impressive seeing that level of humility in human beings, especially facing down his own mortality. Dude is so courageous, so real, so aware, so enlightened, so brave, and so dammed dignified. Hey James, if you read this, God bless my friend. You are my hero. You're everything I would ever hope or wish my own child could be. Stay safe and Godspeed my friend. You Sir, your spirit, your legacy will remembered for eternity. And THAT,...is immortality.
R.I.P. James Yeager!!! What a legend, a true patriot and good man who was loved by so many and trained so many in defense of the liberty that we must all never stop defending! My prayers to his friends and family!
@radioblitz1494 what's so nonsensical about the idea of liberty and the only thing we will accomplish in Ukraine is 100 billion more in debt and a depleted armory just to defend a country that buys our politicians and does nothing for us so why should we defend Ukraine
Although I don't agree with his decision to fight in Ukraine, the man is truly living up to his ethos - “Your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never ends.”
Never disliked one of your videos before, but I feel like this was a bit more pro establishment than is appropriate. He has a calling and that’s fine, but that calling is BS and supportive of the deep state. To give that shit a platform is whack af. Should have called it out for what it is. I love you John, you’re a true badass and I respect you tremendously but this one was a nah from me.
@@AZPatriQt yep there is so much corruption in that country i wouldnt wast my time. but im not dying like james . so my mind would be different place then.
@@MRsolidcolor You would think James would want to spend his remaining days with his family. Not fighting in Ukraine just to get blown up by some missile attack.
The fact that James is emotional shows how serious this is. I may not agree with a lot of what he says and does, but there is no denying he is a great man and a warrior. Not as much a poet, but definitely a warrior. Thank you for having this conversation with him. Good luck James.
I've not always been a fan of James. However, the strength of will pouring from this guy is awe inspiring. I hope they make a movie about him. Call it 50 good years.
This the essence of being a warrior poet. Men who love and fight fiercely. Thank you both for being so real to your audience. It will truly have a lasting impact.
Yeah but it takes a real man to realize when he is a detriment. If you leave your family to go overseas and fight for the security of foreign land…or you really protecting your loved ones? Id wager no. And im not sure i can be convinced a family without a patriarch is an objectively “good” thing.
@@peternorth1721 if he with utter certainty has a terminal illness that is both unrecoverable and lethal and has a very limited time to continue living Then he, Yeager as 2 options, obviously there is more but in this case, in this simple dichotomy, its either fight a war that has some value to the west or lay down and rest with the proximity of his family I know I would pick family and go in peace, but I would be lying If I didn't also think that fighting one last time, with yeager's talents ofc, to go in a blaze of glory is an equally acceptable way to go to me, as either way his family is gonna be without a father, so he is gonna be remembered as the man who passes peacefully with his family around him? Or a man who didn't go down without one last fight? A difficult choice, and im not yeager, but I certainly understand why he made the choice he did
Love him or hate him he’s a warrior and he wants to go out his own way and you have to fully respect that. Hopefully all goes as best it can and best wishes
Its sad to hear about James's passing. As soon as I heard it I immediately thought of this conversation, and had to go watch it again. Another reminder that " your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never ends." James Yeager God bless you John, keep fighting the good flight.
Seeing two friends, brothers in arms, warriors, shedding tears together and discussing openly about one last fight and death. It hits anyone with a pulse in the soul. Best video of 2022.
This was absolutely heart wrenching, and inspiring. I can't even find the words for how much I appreciate both of you. God has a plan, stay strong and be vigilant. I love you, God loves you.
Whew, that was tough to watch. My grandfather died of ALS. I agree with John but I absolutely understand James' thought process. Love both you guys. Stay safe! 🙏
Never been a fan of Yeager, but im sorry to hear about his illness. I was in such a good mood and then decided to watch this. It's sad all the way around. Here's to you, James.
@@baloo1522 he is against national concealed carry. He calls people who own carry idiots, and has said people that open carry shouldn't be allowed to own guns, all sorts of anti 2A crap.
This was an intense conversation. Having a calling, facing death, the mortality of our lives. John and James getting deep. I should have waited to watch this until after work and not watch this during lunch. I'm going to have go back to work with tears in my eyes. 😂
Thankfully, I didn't see this till about ten minutes before clocking out. Haha. About the 15 minutes mark was definitely the cause of that dirt that the wind blew into my eyes.
It's best if we embrace our eventual death early on. Lost my dad a year ago. I was 26. I tried to ignore it before that because dad and I had gone through a lot and I always tried to be positive for him I guess. With him gone, I'm a lot more melancholy, or stoic I suppose (not really sad per se), about the whole thing. I chose not to take the cowards way out when he went, so now it's just living life out until I go there by some other means.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I can't say that I understand(because I have never experienced someone close to me passing the finish line in my life), but I can say that I am scared to experience the same. I'm not sure if I have the strength you have facing that scenario. That thought also scares the hell out of me. I'm glad you are strong though, because I had an opportunity to read someone's perspective regarding that situation. Thanks for teaching a stranger about difficult situations. Cheers bubba!
James-- when you do reach your last patrol, know that this interview, is how we will remember you. Watching you both tear up put things in perspective. Come back with your shield or on it, brother.
Yeah, it definitely shoves all the politics aside when you remember how temporary this all is. God we fight over some dumb things. So many people have died and all for what? To build an Orwellian hellhole? To turn the whole world into a warzone? I think the thing that would bother me if I was in his situation, is that we are nowhere near the Star Trek like future most people wanted. We have the technology to destroy ourselves, but not to create the first space dock. We have made no social progress at all. Actually, we regressed. 11,000 years of civilization, and we're worse than we ever were. That's what we all get to look at when it's our time. We were given the whole world and this is what we did with it.
@Cyrus Freeman You're missing the point. None of that matters if people are continually getting more wicked and narcissistic. You can have all the disruptor cannons and mechs in the universe, and if the people suck, then the whole civilization sucks. We even made a whole universe like that! It's called Warhammer 40k! It's supposed to be fiction.
@@manictiger This is kind of true, yet uninformed. We just focus more on the negatives of humanity than the positive. The space dock you want has been in existence for years on the space station, you just don't see or hear about it every day because it's not depressing or negative and will not draw in ratings.
@@mikegrizzle3014 No, that's a space station. Space dock. As in, ships come in from asteroids to dump off payloads and pick up supplies for colonies. That's a space dock. It implies that there's so much space industry, that you need an entire dock for all the fleets of ships moving stuff around.
@@manictiger saying we're worse off than ever or that people are more wicked than ever just shows how little you know of history and how overwhelmed we are by the effects of social media. 50 years ago there was still legislation that allowed for the sterilisation of deaf people on the count of them being lesser humans. Let that sink in for a moment. And this was in the progressive west. And don't even get me started on life expectancy, child mortality, poverty and violence. We are way better off than ever. But then you have social media. Even if we have alleviated suffering by a factor of 10 we have learned how to broadcast it by a factor of 1000. This leads to a self-propagating spiral of depression and hopelessness. Fight the illusion, spread hope. Despair won't lead us anywhere.
This was the most depressing episode of WPS I have seen. I wish James Yeager nothing but the best! Your dedication and self sacrifice is greatly appreciated. I wish more people in society had the heart and mind of James Yeager and John Lovell. Best of luck and God bless!
RIP James Yeager. James was one of the first channels I watched when I got into the 2A community. He taught me alot of what I know today. He will live on for a long time, and his teachings forever. Thank you for leaving your print on this community brother.
I've always loved this guy, he's such a straight shooter, and a courageous man. All the respect I can dole out goes to him. God be with you brother. War Poet to the max. Respect to you
Really hoping he's able to make the most out of his final service and doesn't just become someone the Ukrainians have to put in the ward after a few months. Praying for his physical, emotional and spiritual strength.
Honorable. Nothing but respect for him. As I get older these kinds of things play more on my heart than they used to. Thank you both for sharing this moment of sadness and joy between you two.
It’s difficult to see the mighty James Yeager choke up, I’ve never had the honor to receive training from him in person but his videos have taught me so much. Give ‘em hell James and godspeed brother, you will live on as a legend 💪🔫🇺🇸
All the respect in the world for James. I get where he is coming from and he’s living life how he’s choosing to do it. This was a heartfelt video, thank you both for sharing this with everyone.
I could not respect a man more. Tears flowing, I send you all the best. We are all behind you. Men like you are what we are all striving to be. Good luck James
I've been watching James for years, just after he came to UA-cam. He's been super inspirational and one of my biggest regrets will be to not have trained under him at Tactical Response.
Yeager, from the German Jaeger, or Jage, “Hunter, to Hunt”, or “Marksman”, and used also as “Fighter”. Living up to his name, truly. Gotta respect his strength & resolve. May God bless him and his family.
Only you John, can interview James and bring out his intimate heartfelt feelings. Thank you both for bringing your UA-cam family into your lives. You are both honorable and respected good guys, touching and making an impact on many lives. Stay safe in Ukraine. Im sure your family is understanding of your calling to go help as you know how.
God bless James as he deals with this ALS. Still holding out hope that maybe it’s something else besides that, since there has been no official diagnosis. Prayers to James and his family 🙏🏼
My man. What a great interview. I weep with you today, having watched this video again. Kudos to you. God Bless James, and his gift that has passed on to us all.
Since we are talking about it. There is only one time James made me mad. I was filming a video at SHOT that he crashed. I had some people keeping the crowd out of the way while we did the spot. One of those people was my dad. Of course those two are the two that clashed. I didn’t brief anyone on the possibility that this is something we do. There was a small physical and verbal exchange between them that I had to quickly resolve. Afterward I introduced them and it was all good. When I informed my dad that James had ALS he wept, something I have seen only a few times in my life. Thank you for doing this video John.
Wow, this is heartbreaking to hear. I met James several years ago at Shot Show and he was a humble guy. We spoke for a while and he provided quite a lot of encouragement as I was starting out my journey on YT. Godspeed James.
Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." We're praying for you James, much love from Florida. John I agree with everything you told him 💯 Well said brother
With tears rolling down my face, I wonder what kind of man am I. This is a good moment in time to reflect on our lives, our loved ones, and the friendships and relationships surrounding us. Thank you for sharing this live call with James.
My thoughts and prayers go to James and his family and friends. We all have a path and it's always good to be able to choose as much of it as you personally can. Keep fighting until the very end.
One of the most inspiring things I’ve ever heard. He’s falling apart but refuses to quit fighting or seeking justice in exchange for comfort. Go James! Show us how it’s done!
I've disliked James at times in the past, but this honestly made me tear up quite a few times. Seeing a strong man suffer is honestly traumatic, I've seen it a handful of times in my personal life and its honestly deeply unsettling.
You know the the first time I heard of Yeager was the 50 reasons episode and at the beginning I wanted to call John and ask him, do you want me to split up lip for you?! Then as I got more familiar with him my feelings completey changed. This a a guy who seriously gives a F%&*. I got mad respect if anything at all. Do your thing James!
God created us and to him we shall return. Sometimes it’s challenges like this, that humbles us and prepare us for our return for our permanent life. It also serves as a wake up call for us.
Same boat. Trained with him in years ago, haven’t always agreed or liked the man but I respect him and I feel for him. This breaks my heart. Best to you Mr. Yeager.
Listening to James talk and give his thoughts on his diagnosis and his reasons for wanting to go to Ukraine, I am reminded of the words of Gen. George Patton. "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather let us rejoice that such men lived." RIP James, you will be missed, thank you for your wisdom and example.
As a Marine and 22 year Law Enforcement Officer and trainer, I have to say that the “call” to go is an individual choice. Regardless of age, illness or decree you have to make your own choice. I do know that I want to support Yeager and his decisions. It’s a personal decision and as a cancer and stroke survivor I simply say this, “ May your worth be seen, your will be strong and you warrior spirit be unleashed and free” . God speed and carry on.
Some some people are pushing some religious facade to justify the fact they really want to do *Soldiers of Fortune* stuff in some country with politics they don’t understand, in a war they don’t understand. “RRRRUSSIA BAD” Cold War Programming Trigger Like if they could be in a time machine they would fight for Rhodesia.
That was the most "real" conversation I have ever witnessed. The love that John and James have for each other is unmistakable. God bless James and grant him the end of this earthly life that he desires. Warrior Poets they both are.
James Yeager is a beast. I understand his motives. If he feels he is being called, the best anyone can do is to support him in his endeavors and wish him the best. It has to be very difficult for his family and friends, but James has a magnificent attitude towards it all and it is truly inspiring.
Supporting evil make should evil. If he's being called it isn't by anything more than ego. I have met James. Trained there. All this is for two reasons. Ignorance and a thirst for blood. Thats it.
I lost my best friend to ALS. He was 37 with a wife and 2 kids. He was larger than life and then he was gone. It was a very difficult experience to watch him go through this.
I’ve watched hundreds of James Yeager’s videos and I’ve never understood why anyone would dislike this guy. Much love and respect to you James. I pray you are able to go, you will be an asset to the Ukrainians war effort.
@@islas357 I am aware of several controversial incidents over the years. And I have disagreed with him on a lot of issues, but I never lost respect for him, nor have I ever felt the need to dislike him.
Very sad to see someone losing their abilities. James is a brave and honorable man. I know it was a tough video to record because he's you're friend, but this really was a great video and we appreciate it. Thanks John and James. .
It is more sad to see a young kid not have the same abilities that we all have. Instead it turns into a genetic disease or something neurological. The hard part for the communities who have any type of disability is the aspect of getting out there and talking about it. I feel bad for a lot of the young kids and having to deal with a lot more weight. The dream killer is in front of that script and it might slow down or not. Be faithful, healthy, work on finding the right people.
It is impossible to live a complete life. When you really can put more on your resume and in life. Check out Scots DaleMan UA-cam Channel and Book American BadAss
John, if James hasn’t gotten saved yet, you keep working on him! We all want to see him again when we’ve made it to the other side of glory. God bless you guys, and Godspeed to you James.
Sounds to me like James have taken charge of his relation with God. Having John at his side might have helped, but ultimately er all have to save ourselves. I dont think anyone can do that for us.
@@moparman1692 that's the paradox. The Truth is that it's not having the courage to step up and save ourselves, it's having the courage to realise that we cannot save ourself. And that's why the free of gift of God is so precious. He is the one who saves us, we just need to have the courage and humility to accept that free gift. It is a simple choice, recieve or don't... We're free to choose, but we're not free from the consequences of our choice. Choose wisely brother. And pray for James to make a wise choice too.
I completely understand what James stated while alive…. My mother is dying of peritoneal lining cancer, doctors are giving her less than a year. The day she got the news was the worst, but after that, she’s always been telling that she lived a good life and did more in 52 years of life than some do that reach 80. It sucks seeing her deteriorate, but seeing her take it well for sure helps.
Good for James having a positive attitude. He said he feels he’s lived a full life even if it ends up being a shortened one. God bless him and his family
Man that was an emotional video. God bless him and his family. He's gonna be able to help Ukranian citizens better defend their homeland. Corrupt system or not, they are defending their homeland.

With heredity being 10% why do you think the doctors are having problems figuring out what he has.. I have seen Lyme's disease do this
@@loudieselj3165 me too as a Lyme survivor. It runs in families and is misdiagnosed on a continuing basis.
@@loudieselj3165 most of the reason is because there is no "ALS test" that can give a diagnosis so it's more of a diagnosis of elimination - meaning you have to do tons of tests over the course of at least 6-12 months before everything that COULD be causing them is excluded other than ALS. There also has to be adequate passage of time to observe progression of symptoms because that is one part of the diagnosis.
TLDR; cuz it's really complicated to diagnose and you don't tell someone they're going to die unless you know for sure (or at least as sure as humanly possible).
"fear of death only prevents life. It doesn't stop death" I don't recall where I heard or read that statement, but James Yeager absolutely drives it home.

Existing gun law unjustly punishes and permanently removes 2nd amendment gun rights for drinking & driving. Who is the injured party to question in court, and who is the victim when all offenses are pull-over-and-blow arrests void of the accident, incident, victim, or injured party? (This crazy law denies Jurisprudence!)
Michigan law says 3 DUIs in a lifetime create a permanent non-reversible felony. These newly created (Mom & Dad) non-violent criminals cannot hunt, and protect themselves, their wealth, or their family by firearm, ever! (A permanent felon!)
The CRAZY LAW has a nexus with federal law and its based on imaginary death and destruction that drinking and driving often create and do not discriminate between "victim" and "victimless" offenses. (There's no distinction in law between driving accidents, incidents, or having a victim vs simple pull-over and blow arrests without a victim!)
When DUIs are in fact victimless, without having an injured party or victim, the severity of punishment should never permanently remove 2nd amendment gun rights ...
This law lacks distinction between the two classes (With Victim/Without Victim) offenses!

Americans have always deployed as volunteers to war torn countries since our founding. Name a conflict and it’s a pretty good bet that there’s been an American contingent operating there. French Revolution, Crimean war (first one) Russian Revolution (on both sides) Spanish civil war, Mexican War(s) WWI, WWII, etc…

Seeing him like this is heartbreaking and prayers from my family will will start immediately. If James feels lead to do this, who am I or anyone else to judge. Love the conversation John and thank you both for your patriotism.
I had similar thoughts about Mr. Yeager initially. Turns out, he has a really dry sense of humor, and really sarcastic tone when he speaks. Actually reminds me a lot of my step dad. Looks and personality and even character.

Imagine being such a warrior that when you're in a fight you absolutely cannot win, you STILL fight.
Exactly right John, well said!
I came back to watch this again just to see the real James. I hope he's resting well with the Creator.
Man this was hard to watch. Heartbreaking, inspiring, emotionally wrecking. James is a real one. Godspeed James.
When he describes the end of his life, it nearly broke me brother… he’s going out like a warrior!
Man, how heartbreaking. Seeing James being that vulnerable was a beautiful thing. I love how he just refuses to feel sorry for himself and how blessed he feels to have led the life he has lived. God be with him and his family during this difficult time. What an amazing way to honor your friend John. Love you guys.
"When have we not been pawns?" His complete honesty and humility in acknowledging what he knows that he does not know, makes him a master of being truly enlightened in his self awareness. It's so impressive seeing that level of humility in human beings, especially facing down his own mortality. Dude is so courageous, so real, so aware, so enlightened, so brave, and so dammed dignified. Hey James, if you read this, God bless my friend. You are my hero. You're everything I would ever hope or wish my own child could be. Stay safe and Godspeed my friend. You Sir, your spirit, your legacy will remembered for eternity. And THAT,...is immortality.

@@peternorth1721 if he with utter certainty has a terminal illness that is both unrecoverable and lethal and has a very limited time to continue living
Then he, Yeager as 2 options, obviously there is more but in this case, in this simple dichotomy, its either fight a war that has some value to the west or lay down and rest with the proximity of his family
I know I would pick family and go in peace, but I would be lying If I didn't also think that fighting one last time, with yeager's talents ofc, to go in a blaze of glory is an equally acceptable way to go to me, as either way his family is gonna be without a father, so he is gonna be remembered as the man who passes peacefully with his family around him? Or a man who didn't go down without one last fight?
A difficult choice, and im not yeager, but I certainly understand why he made the choice he did

It's best if we embrace our eventual death early on. Lost my dad a year ago. I was 26. I tried to ignore it before that because dad and I had gone through a lot and I always tried to be positive for him I guess. With him gone, I'm a lot more melancholy, or stoic I suppose (not really sad per se), about the whole thing.

Yeah, it definitely shoves all the politics aside when you remember how temporary this all is. God we fight over some dumb things. So many people have died and all for what? To build an Orwellian hellhole? To turn the whole world into a warzone?
I think the thing that would bother me if I was in his situation, is that we are nowhere near the Star Trek like future most people wanted. We have the technology to destroy ourselves, but not to create the first space dock. We have made no social progress at all. Actually, we regressed. 11,000 years of civilization, and we're worse than we ever were. That's what we all get to look at when it's our time. We were given the whole world and this is what we did with it.
@Cyrus Freeman
You're missing the point. None of that matters if people are continually getting more wicked and narcissistic. You can have all the disruptor cannons and mechs in the universe, and if the people suck, then the whole civilization sucks.

No, that's a space station. Space dock. As in, ships come in from asteroids to dump off payloads and pick up supplies for colonies. That's a space dock. It implies that there's so much space industry, that you need an entire dock for all the fleets of ships moving stuff around.
@@manictiger saying we're worse off than ever or that people are more wicked than ever just shows how little you know of history and how overwhelmed we are by the effects of social media.
50 years ago there was still legislation that allowed for the sterilisation of deaf people on the count of them being lesser humans. Let that sink in for a moment. And this was in the progressive west. And don't even get me started on life expectancy, child mortality, poverty and violence. We are way better off than ever.
But then you have social media. Even if we have alleviated suffering by a factor of 10 we have learned how to broadcast it by a factor of 1000. This leads to a self-propagating spiral of depression and hopelessness.
Fight the illusion, spread hope. Despair won't lead us anywhere.

This was the most depressing episode of WPS I have seen. I wish James Yeager nothing but the best! Your dedication and self sacrifice is greatly appreciated. I wish more people in society had the heart and mind of James Yeager and John Lovell. Best of luck and God bless!
RIP James Yeager. James was one of the first channels I watched when I got into the 2A community. He taught me alot of what I know today. He will live on for a long time, and his teachings forever. Thank you for leaving your print on this community brother.
I've always loved this guy, he's such a straight shooter, and a courageous man. All the respect I can dole out goes to him. God be with you brother. War Poet to the max. Respect to you
James Yeager’s calling is def as a warrior poet. Hearing him speak truth to this was heartening.
Godspeed, Mr. Yeager.
Really hoping he's able to make the most out of his final service and doesn't just become someone the Ukrainians have to put in the ward after a few months. Praying for his physical, emotional and spiritual strength.
Hey man sorry for Hijacking your comment but UA-cam is censoring me and I need Yaeger to see this
ua-cam.com/video/8wEvj2uuB_8/v-deo.html
Man this was a tear jerker. Such a beautiful interview. God bless these men
Honorable. Nothing but respect for him. As I get older these kinds of things play more on my heart than they used to. Thank you both for sharing this moment of sadness and joy between you two.
PS I am NOT having any water tricking from my eye, nope.
All of us have to face our mortality and death alone, its very horrific thing to think about.
It’s difficult to see the mighty James Yeager choke up, I’ve never had the honor to receive training from him in person but his videos have taught me so much. Give ‘em hell James and godspeed brother, you will live on as a legend 💪🔫🇺🇸
All the respect in the world for James. I get where he is coming from and he’s living life how he’s choosing to do it. This was a heartfelt video, thank you both for sharing this with everyone.
I was never fortunate enough to meet him but I learned so much from his videos over the years. He is truly missed.
I could not respect a man more. Tears flowing, I send you all the best. We are all behind you. Men like you are what we are all striving to be. Good luck James
I've been watching James for years, just after he came to UA-cam. He's been super inspirational and one of my biggest regrets will be to not have trained under him at Tactical Response.
Yeager, from the German Jaeger, or Jage, “Hunter, to Hunt”, or “Marksman”, and used also as “Fighter”. Living up to his name, truly. Gotta respect his strength & resolve. May God bless him and his family.
Thank you James for all you did for our civil liberties and for teaching folks to defend themselves. Rest easy
Only you John, can interview James and bring out his intimate heartfelt feelings. Thank you both for bringing your UA-cam family into your lives. You are both honorable and respected good guys, touching and making an impact on many lives. Stay safe in Ukraine. Im sure your family is understanding of your calling to go help as you know how.
Watching you two men run the emotional gamut from tears to laughter together speaks to your strength and fortitude. Be strong and of good courage.
God bless James as he deals with this ALS. Still holding out hope that maybe it’s something else besides that, since there has been no official diagnosis. Prayers to James and his family 🙏🏼
My man. What a great interview. I weep with you today, having watched this video again. Kudos to you. God Bless James, and his gift that has passed on to us all.
Since we are talking about it. There is only one time James made me mad. I was filming a video at SHOT that he crashed. I had some people keeping the crowd out of the way while we did the spot. One of those people was my dad. Of course those two are the two that clashed. I didn’t brief anyone on the possibility that this is something we do. There was a small physical and verbal exchange between them that I had to quickly resolve. Afterward I introduced them and it was all good. When I informed my dad that James had ALS he wept, something I have seen only a few times in my life.
Thank you for doing this video John.
I teared up. God bless you both for sharing this private moment.
Wow, this is heartbreaking to hear. I met James several years ago at Shot Show and he was a humble guy. We spoke for a while and he provided quite a lot of encouragement as I was starting out my journey on YT. Godspeed James.
lol good riddance
Putin? Is that you?
Why?
CP! Love your channel. I’ve learned a lot from you.
I've always followed James but hate watched him a lot of the time. But that aside, I'm welling up watching this. What a brave man.
Respect.. The 52 things and on got me. You're a good man John. RIP Legend
Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." We're praying for you James, much love from Florida. John I agree with everything you told him 💯 Well said brother
With tears rolling down my face, I wonder what kind of man am I. This is a good moment in time to reflect on our lives, our loved ones, and the friendships and relationships surrounding us. Thank you for sharing this live call with James.
For me it reminds me to put all petty differences aside with friends and family. Sad to hear about James condition.
My thoughts and prayers go to James and his family and friends. We all have a path and it's always good to be able to choose as much of it as you personally can. Keep fighting until the very end.
Hard seeing such a beast of a man in this state. He was never my cup of tea, but what a fucking UNIT. God be with ya James.
This was a tough one to watch, but it's a true testimony to the warrior's spirit and the warrior culture. Love both of you
Yes, a “true warrior” fights for every land
But his own, at the behest of the EU and Israel.
One of the most inspiring things I’ve ever heard. He’s falling apart but refuses to quit fighting or seeking justice in exchange for comfort. Go James! Show us how it’s done!
I've disliked James at times in the past, but this honestly made me tear up quite a few times. Seeing a strong man suffer is honestly traumatic, I've seen it a handful of times in my personal life and its honestly deeply unsettling.
You know the the first time I heard of Yeager was the 50 reasons episode and at the beginning I wanted to call John and ask him, do you want me to split up lip for you?! Then as I got more familiar with him my feelings completey changed.
This a a guy who seriously gives a F%&*.
I got mad respect if anything at all.
Do your thing James!
God created us and to him we shall return. Sometimes it’s challenges like this, that humbles us and prepare us for our return for our permanent life. It also serves as a wake up call for us.
Same boat. Trained with him in years ago, haven’t always agreed or liked the man but I respect him and I feel for him. This breaks my heart. Best to you Mr. Yeager.
Listening to James talk and give his thoughts on his diagnosis and his reasons for wanting to go to Ukraine, I am reminded of the words of Gen. George Patton. "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather let us rejoice that such men lived." RIP James, you will be missed, thank you for your wisdom and example.
As a Marine and 22 year Law Enforcement Officer and trainer, I have to say that the “call” to go is an individual choice. Regardless of age, illness or decree you have to make your own choice. I do know that I want to support Yeager and his decisions. It’s a personal decision and as a cancer and stroke survivor I simply say this, “ May your worth be seen, your will be strong and you warrior spirit be unleashed and free” . God speed and carry on.
Thank you for your service Cecil.
God bless you.
Or I dunno, go volunteer at an orphanage, or a dog rescue. Not fight in some banker's oil war.
Some some people are pushing some religious facade to justify the fact they really want to do *Soldiers of Fortune* stuff in some country with politics they don’t understand, in a war they don’t understand.

Like if they could be in a time machine they would fight for Rhodesia.
Well said Mr. Higgins, well said.
@@Skripontoast Well said Mr. Skripontoast, well said.
That was the most "real" conversation I have ever witnessed. The love that John and James have for each other is unmistakable. God bless James and grant him the end of this earthly life that he desires. Warrior Poets they both are.
James Yeager is a beast. I understand his motives. If he feels he is being called, the best anyone can do is to support him in his endeavors and wish him the best. It has to be very difficult for his family and friends, but James has a magnificent attitude towards it all and it is truly inspiring.
Supporting evil make should evil. If he's being called it isn't by anything more than ego. I have met James. Trained there. All this is for two reasons. Ignorance and a thirst for blood. Thats it.
I lost my best friend to ALS. He was 37 with a wife and 2 kids. He was larger than life and then he was gone. It was a very difficult experience to watch him go through this.
I’ve watched hundreds of James Yeager’s videos and I’ve never understood why anyone would dislike this guy.
Much love and respect to you James. I pray you are able to go, you will be an asset to the Ukrainians war effort.
He has a more abrasive personality but when it comes to gun fighting he’s not wrong very often.
Theres a lot if reasons over the years. But I don’t wish the guy the fate he’s been dealt.
@@islas357 I am aware of several controversial incidents over the years. And I have disagreed with him on a lot of issues, but I never lost respect for him, nor have I ever felt the need to dislike him.
Very sad to see someone losing their abilities. James is a brave and honorable man. I know it was a tough video to record because he's you're friend, but this really was a great video and we appreciate it. Thanks John and James. .
It is more sad to see a young kid not have the same abilities that we all have. Instead it turns into a genetic disease or something neurological. The hard part for the communities who have any type of disability is the aspect of getting out there and talking about it. I feel bad for a lot of the young kids and having to deal with a lot more weight. The dream killer is in front of that script and it might slow down or not. Be faithful, healthy, work on finding the right people.

John, if James hasn’t gotten saved yet, you keep working on him! We all want to see him again when we’ve made it to the other side of glory.
God bless you guys, and Godspeed to you James.
amen!
Sounds to me like James have taken charge of his relation with God. Having John at his side might have helped, but ultimately er all have to save ourselves. I dont think anyone can do that for us.
@@moparman1692 that's the paradox. The Truth is that it's not having the courage to step up and save ourselves, it's having the courage to realise that we cannot save ourself. And that's why the free of gift of God is so precious. He is the one who saves us, we just need to have the courage and humility to accept that free gift. It is a simple choice, recieve or don't... We're free to choose, but we're not free from the consequences of our choice. Choose wisely brother.
And pray for James to make a wise choice too.
Amen to James’s salvation!
I completely understand what James stated while alive…. My mother is dying of peritoneal lining cancer, doctors are giving her less than a year. The day she got the news was the worst, but after that, she’s always been telling that she lived a good life and did more in 52 years of life than some do that reach 80. It sucks seeing her deteriorate, but seeing her take it well for sure helps.
He's a legend. A man with many talents. Go give em hell James. And if all else fails, go out in a blaze of glory!
James was built for this. He literally trains civilians to use weapons to defend themselves against all threats foreign and domestic.
Good for James having a positive attitude. He said he feels he’s lived a full life even if it ends up being a shortened one. God bless him and his family
His honesty, and lack of self pity is a great thing.
Man that was an emotional video. God bless him and his family. He's gonna be able to help Ukranian citizens better defend their homeland. Corrupt system or not, they are defending their homeland.
"Corrupt system or not.. " Are you that dumb? I bet you're willing to send American kids off to die for a "corrupt system or not", while sitting at home.
@@jasonm949 Ukraine is trap. Mercs getting killed and the Ukraine government gives no damn about the mercs
@@bigboss7189 they’re not getting killed. They’re sitting around in bars not knowing what to do. James isn’t going to get over there and fight. They won’t know what to do with him. He won’t speak the language and doesn’t fit in any command structure. What a fucking joke
The Ukraine army has been conducting warfare against the people of the Donbass for 8 yrs.... the good guys, the country leaders, are not good guys

I just started getting into guns. For the last 2 weeks I’ve been grinding all James and war poet videos just got to this and oh my god never thought I could feel for someone who I didn’t even know about until after they’ve passed. Rest in peace
