James positively changed and affected so many lives. We are all better for having had him in this world. He will live on through all of his teachings. Tell someone about Tactical Response. Take someone to Tactical Response. Send someone to Tactical Response.
A lot of people nit picked James but that was because he was a free spirit, did things his way and didn’t give a grasp. Thats what I loved about James. His individuality and his genuine heart.
This is a Great way to celebrate his life. I never met him personally, either way it was A honor to have learned from him via TH-cam or articles he was in. 😊
Jack, I cherish the day a few years ago when James was riding his Harley across the US and stopped in Park City. After breakfast, you and I got to accompany James for podcast. So glad we did that.
Jack, you not only write a good book, you're also a great interviewer, asking the good questions, and asking them in a way to bring out the real James. Thank you, thumbs up.
Really enjoy the books. Yep, JY got me hooked. I'm a truck driver and enjoyed agreeing and disagreeing with J. This by far, the audio books fill in the long drives. I Never met him. I still hope to take a class, but his shared experiences are golden. We are lucky to have shared the moments.
RIP James. I Followed Him For Years.I Developed Some Of my Life Practices From Him. I Took 2 classes with Tactical Response So Far. My Regret. I Was In A Room with Him & Didn't Want To Bother Him By Introducing My Self
James yeager was among the first gun youtubers most people started watching on TH-cam regularly. I remember watching him on hit first channel before I was even able to purchase firearms yet, and I'm 29 now. He will be dearly missed. The firearms community lost one of its best.
Thank you for posting this. Despite growing up in Tennessee, and hunting in Yeager's home county I never looked into his material. After this discussion my perception of him has changed somewhat.
@Jack " G' Damnt .why did you bring so many onions to the chat! I will miss our brother greatly. Especially our chance about the 70s and 80s and how different life has changed.
Deepest condolences on the passing of two dear friends and brothers -in-arms. It’s been a couple of difficult weeks, but know they both gave it their all to a good fight. Your memories keep them alive in everyone’s heart and mind. You’ll meet again in Valhalla, all of you who are a part of the brotherhood. Meanwhile, lift your glass in a toast to all who were the best of the best.
He's have been pleased with the celebration of life party in Camden. Incredible turnout and lots of great stories. He was a genuinely decent guy and one of the most generous people I ever knew. How did you guys meet in the first place?
The National Guard gave me a leave of absence to work as a security contractor in Afghanistan. People always asked me what it was like. I told them I was still doing SSG work but I was getting Brigadier General pay. There was a lot less shit to put up with but there was no support, not like I had with the Army.
@@jfk767 Hey Joel can I ask you a personal question? How much would you make doing security contractor work in Afghanistan? I always wondered that as it should be alot for the dangers involved.
@@cwatson42785 I cleared $129K after taxes. The first 90k was tax free, I was taxed after that. This was June 2008 to June 2009 so it was after the high paying push of 03-06 or so.
@@jfk767none4 Wow I really appreciate you willing to answer as some people get weird about it. That's pretty good money for sure but I think as sure as you do that you earned every penny and should've been more. Could I ask you a couple questions if you don't mind?.... Are you former military? (Thank you for your service if yes) and when in country where would you stay? Seems it would be really dangerous being in country and not on a base so I was curious. Also were you security for a company doing work there? And did you run into any trouble with the people there during your time? If you don't want to answer any of these nosey questions no worries brotha. But I do appreciate letting me know what you guys get. Thanks 🍻
@@cwatson42785 like I said, I was in the National Guard at the time. I had a few years active duty Army before I went into the reserves and then the guard. I was probably the worst paid security contractor in country and in fact when I finished my contract I was the director of security for our program and I was paid less than the gate guards at dyncorp's other programs. When I started we were dyncorp's only firm fixed price contract and the program manager has so screwed things up our program was $16 million in the red. We didn't have any real serious incidents. One of our perimeter guards got shot in one incident and we had two riots targeting our compound but no injuries came from it. We also had an armed standoff with another security detail but again, nothing serious came of it. After an airport run there was a serious bombing outside one of the embassies and some of my Afghan detail, former Afghan Special Forces soldiers wanted to go help out so we went. One of my guys was a SF medic and he rendered aid to a dozen or so wounded Afghans. When he ran out of supplies we left as there were hundreds of first responders on the ground by then.
Doing the Route Irish or Michigan run in thin skinned vehicles. Glad James got to Share Jay Hunts Story, I believe those who survive war have a duty to live a honorable life to honor the sacrifice of those who do not make it home alive. I know 4000 US Service people KIA, Jack ? Have you heard anything about how many contractors KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The idea of private prisons are doing it better than the public sector is ridiculous on multiple levels. They main incentive is high prison count, high recidivism and give the prisoners the least amount possible.
April 2004 was the month the Insurgency in Iraq went into overdrive, It was the golden time of contracting, James was absolutely right in not trading a career for a Job. In that time frame I was working as contract Security Officer for Homeland security. I first talked with James shortly after He returned from Iraq. He encouraged me after I got Injured In 2008 worked with K-9 EDT for 3 years and got took out by a 23 feet stairwell. I remember when 2003 Iraq Kicked off someone had actually convinced W that Iraq would pay for itself with it oil reserves I hope whomever that was got fired.
Dammit Jack!!!! These videoless podcast really suck man!! Lol on Spotify makes sense, on a video platform. Not so much 🤷♂️ Lol this was WAY before he got bad!! Sounds like good ole James 😢
If I may , why is everyone saying he was a great man ? I had the unfortunate time in my life to meet him . His attitude sucked , he said he was “ bullet proof “, unstable and he said that all people that shoot .40 caliber were losers. Who is the one that lost now . Sorry if your ass hurt by what I said but I’m sick and tired of someone being praised as a warrior when the truth is , all of us face death . Yes , even us that shoot .40 cal.
Jack, thank you for posting this. Training with James and spending time in his home was an honor. I am thankful for the positive impact he made on my life.
Wow, how ironic he spoke about his "people to kill" list, should he ever develop a terminal illness. And, then goes on to talk about how he has a clean bill of health. It's amazing how you can do everything right, be health conscious, stay fit, and still just lose it all in the blink of an eye
What a Great Man and Patriot. I am so sad for His Family's Loss and that of so many friends and fellow Patriots. A Life well lived is not measured in years, but in accomplishments and those who were touched by that Life. Rest in Eternal Peace Mr. Yeager.
I was introduced to you by Yeager. Awesome man who did more to help others than anyone else. I know of nobody in the business who gave away anywhere near as many classes, was involved in as much charitable work, or gave out as much truly valuable information as James Yeager.
Jack, thanks for this tribute. It’s eye opening to learn that you and he were friends for a long time. I trained with him and have been enthusiastic about your books since The Terminal List came out. His legacy will live on for a long, long time.
The last conversation I had James we talked about books. I told him I attended a class with Mark Greaney. We talked about the Gray Man series, but then he closed it with have you read Jack Carr's books? Told me I really needed to check it out. And I have.
Thanks Jack, this is the second time to see this. James was my friend of 24 years. He told me in 2021 that y’all were friends and we both love your books. James helped so many people and I’m so thankful to have been his friend.
It's been several years since I've watched his channel and I learned so much from his videos. I loved his practical, no bullshit advice about firearms and I'm a better gun owner because of it. I recently bought a new shotgun and thought of James as I was setting it up and taking the first few shots with it. I realized it had been a really long time since I checked out his videos. I looked at his channel today and found out he died over a year ago. I am absolutely shocked and saddened by this. He passed on some incredibly valuable knowledge online and didn't charge a dime for it. The guy is a legend. RIP James
A similar thing happened to me to bro... I feel you. Sometimes, we don't realize how big of impact these people have on us, even though we are "strangers".
Thanks Jack, I’m looking at my still sealed copy of True Believer that James gave me in 2021. He gave that to me after he read something I’m writing and told me y’all were friends. James was my friend of 24 years and I’m so thankful to have known him.
When He talks about Jay Gibson, A Marine Security Guard, also known as a Marine Embassy Guard, MSGs receive specialized training in various types of firearms, defensive tactics, first aid, fire suppression and improvised explosive detection. They're also trained in disaster response and recovery procedures. Training equipment is sophisticated and cutting-edge. When He says graduates of this School are handy to have around its such an understatement, i was lucky enough to have two former MSG on my Security Detail and it was those two guys who helped us be more self sufficient than other details.
Thanks for posting this, James was a amazing teacher and salt of the earth man. He had an amazing gift for summarizing things! Not a word or round wasted.
I watched and listened to James often. I was attracted to Jame's personality, heart, humor, and knowledge and the fact of how well I could relate to the man. The being misunderstood and judged, mostly by people less principled and honest than yourself. I can handle UPFRONT - to your face people, such as myself, rather than the backstabbing chicken-chits who deny deny deny when confronted. Jame's style speaks for itself, The love and respect from the people who did know him, from his friends speaks volumes. I listened to Sootch's words honoring his friend Yeager, his words "THAT WAS JUST JAMES" says it all. America cannot afford to lose more men the caliber of James Yeager
![Andy McNab: Behind Enemy Lines [Rebroadcast] - Danger Close with Jack Carr](/img/n.gif)
RIP James... You paved the path for so many of us to follow.
He wasn't afraid and faced death head on. Rest in peace Jimmy until Valhalla 🇺🇲

Listening again while organizing the safe and found my 1st fighting pistol student handout. RIP James Yeager.
Two incredible humans. Thank you for this. ♥
James was the reason I picked up Terminal list, your writing is why I kept buying the next book. Kudos man.
It was a good conversation, thanks. Godspeed James Yeager.
Jack, you not only write a good book, you're also a great interviewer, asking the good questions, and asking them in a way to bring out the real James. Thank you, thumbs up.
Thank you for posting this, it helps. RIP James Yeager.
First time i heard this story. We need more people like James.
Really enjoy the books. Yep, JY got me hooked. I'm a truck driver and enjoyed agreeing and disagreeing with J. This by far, the audio books fill in the long drives. I Never met him. I still hope to take a class, but his shared experiences are golden. We are lucky to have shared the moments.
Just started watching this interview best sit down withJY I’ve seen yet thanks!!!
Thanks for putting this out Jack!

Thanks for reposting! No sad shit. But man he effect so many lives. He will never be forgotten!

the past the hour mark hits hard hearing him talk of health and grandchildren.
I to was introduced to you Jack by James! Truly a great man!
That was fantastic. I missed this last year. Thank you for sharing it again.
Thank you for posting this. Despite growing up in Tennessee, and hunting in Yeager's home county I never looked into his material.
After this discussion my perception of him has changed somewhat.
I first heard of you trough James as well. Thanks for putting this interview up in memorial!
A great tribute.
Appreciate that you did this. James was always a controversial guy but always stayed true to his word and the morals he had. Such a solid dude!
Thank you for doing this, Jack. James had a huge heart.
This was great. Thank you for posting again.
Thank you for posting this, James truly cared about people, its funny how he started tactile response as just a side gig teaching CCW classes in 1996.
That's a fantastic podcast. Thank you sir.
He was a great person & changed so many lives for the better!
@Jack " G' Damnt .why did you bring so many onions to the chat! I will miss our brother greatly. Especially our chance about the 70s and 80s and how different life has changed.
R.I.P James 🙏🏼
Valhalla is gotten a real Warrior, an awesome Teacher and just a genuine good Man.
James is the man. Super sad. Makes me think about how lucky I am. Who knows what will happen.
Deepest condolences on the passing of two dear friends and brothers -in-arms. It’s been a couple of difficult weeks, but know they both gave it their all to a good fight.

He was a warrior through and through, rest in peace 🙏
Tru-dat!

God Bless James and God Bless you Jack
Yeager was an American Badass. RIP
GODSPEED Mr . Yeager
A video James made was my original motivation to not be a fat useless human. I will always be grateful for that.
Sometimes i loved to hate James, but I always loved him. Tragic how the end came.
We lost a great man and leader of our rights. Rest In Peace
Yeager was a true American fuckin badass. His company is spreading our culture and saving lives. Go train at Tactical Response.
badass... how?
I messaged him before he left was going to Ukraine. Didn't realize that would be the last time. Feeling some sadness big time.
Jack, are you going to work with James’ team to finish his book? That would be an awesome tribute.
Til Valhalla!
Doing the Route Irish or Michigan run in thin skinned vehicles.

Rest easy brother
James passing is just like Obi Wan Kenobi passing. Now he has become an even more powerful teacher who will guide us as a force ghost!!!

Damn he was a homie
RIP James
RIP
Damn...I was just wondering if he was alright, I didn't know him or anything, but hope his family is doing okay
WTH? This is how I found out. I just stopped YT to focus on rebuilding my life for a year and a half.
🇺🇲 James Yeager 🇺🇲
Until Valhalla Brother
It’s still not real for me. RIP James.
James went to Ukraine to train People to fight, now that was and is good story! GO to Tactical Responce
CM4L
☯️
Thank you Jack for this. I will regret forever not getting my dumb ass to T.R. to take a class from James.
Squadica65 - No reason why you can't honor James by taking a Tactical Response class. I did. Best thing I've done for myself in a decade.
Fantastic interview. I'd seen the video of the ambush, but I had not heard the story nor Jay's name.
Ok
Dammit Jack!!!! These videoless podcast really suck man!! Lol on Spotify makes sense, on a video platform. Not so much 🤷♂️ Lol this was WAY before he got bad!! Sounds like good ole James 😢
Hilarious. About 3:30 when James is giving you crap about running the tech. And there's no video. Hahahahahahaha!! RIP JY.

I have said if its my time to go nothing I can do to stop it. Try to go out my way in the end but when the reaper comes all you can do is accept it.
He knew he had als for a long time before going public
What a Great Man and Patriot. I am so sad for His Family's Loss and that of so many friends and fellow Patriots. A Life well lived is not measured in years, but in accomplishments and those who were touched by that Life. Rest in Eternal Peace Mr. Yeager.

His legacy will live on for a long, long time.
Found your books through James. He’ll be missed!
I already miss him. The world took a hard hit. He was a good mentor and changed my life..
Same here, I first heard of Jack Carr from James Yeager. He will be missed.
RIP brother. I lost my uncle to ALS recently.
Sorry for your loss. Now he's training Angels how to shoot a gun! RIP
Thank you for posting this again, when he died it helped a lot hearing his laughter again. He is the reason I found your books
My wife is a huge fan of yours, has read all your books, as a direct result of Jame’s reference.
The last conversation I had James we talked about books. I told him I attended a class with Mark Greaney. We talked about the Gray Man series, but then he closed it with have you read Jack Carr's books? Told me I really needed to check it out. And I have.

1:05:00 James was still so strong and healthy on his 50th birthday during this interview… then ALS took him so quickly! He was a legend!
Thanks for posting this, James was a amazing teacher and salt of the earth man.

This was terrific. Thanks for making this available.
This country needs more Yeagers…. That’s for sure..
1:04:20 ...eerie RIP Mr. Yeager.
Wow,this is a great interview !👍🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great interview of James.
just found this... miss him

James was a truly great human being on so many level.
James seemed like a really good dude. RIP!
