ANGRY WISDOM with Vietnam Vet and Legend Clint Smith + Funny Intro 

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." -- Mark Twain

The country’s overall testosterone level will drop by 17 percent when this man leaves the physical world. 🤘🏽🇺🇸

A HUGE THANK YOU to John....our students, staff but most of all to our Media Boss Brady sale who put these videos together for all of us!! Clint and Heidi

“I’m actually a pretty nice guy, I own a goose...” lmao

Guys like Clint are the salt of the earth! They're not angry, they're just direct and don't have time for bull shit.

The TRUTH about the Chicken. From Clint:" With John's permission he told me I could post here and so here is the chicken story. We know a very good ER doc that was working one night in San Diego and a gentleman came in with a trench coat on and he said he had an "issue". THE ISSUE was he not able to remove HIS pet chicken..from his privates. Now the BAD part.. he was UPSET that his favorite chicken was killed during the removal from his privates. So there ya go ...There ARE Chicken rapists out there in the world. Tip for the day...Don't be a chicken rapist ..Clint"

You're right, i carry a knife everyday since i was 15, (i'm 53 now). Always on me, never used it until the day when it saved my life avoiding me a fight with 7/8 drunk people... Cause in France you can't bear arms for self defense. Even the knife would have get me in court for using it to defend myself even confronting multiple aggressors... Laws suck in France. But i'm a proud gun owner (3 precision riflles a shotgun two handguns) and fight for my rights everyday... Never let your gun rights away. The second amendment is the founding of your liberty. Don't let it go! From France. 🖖🏻😎🇫🇷😇🖖🏻

"Enemy marksman award" classic Clint humor.

There's no interservice rivalry, when my son graduated as a brand new Green Beret, I grabbed his hand and said, "Son I'm so proud of you, and congratulations by the way, you are officially as close to being a Marine that you can possibly be, Semper Fi".👊😎

He's like an Angry Gun Master Yoda.

2 of the best instructors in the business, great job!

Clint Smith is a national treasure!

"Tougher than a wood peckers lips"...best line ever !

I know it’s an older video but I’ve been on a Clint Smith binge for the last three days. One thing I have realized in life, and Clint is a perfect example of this, is that if you don’t feel at least somewhat intimidated when learning wisdom from a mentor with experience, you aren’t learning anything.

THE thing about Geese.. is...you will NOT sneak past them. You CANNOT turn off the electricity and shut off their alarms. And unless you know where they are, they won't be silenced.

**Quietly reholsters pink .380...**

Memories! My dad used to always say to me "boy, the older you get, the smarter I was". At the time, that made nooooo sense at all. Looking back my dad was a genius! Thanks for bringing that back into my mind...Aaron

I just got past that “college age” demographic and I’m from the first of the millennial generation. I take nothing that you or Clint say as a personal attack. Your speaking truth. I wish that I had had a strong god-fearing man that cared enough about me to tell me how it is and lead me in a positive direction. Thanks for putting yourselves out there to share your values and upbringing with us that don’t have direct access to people like you. God Bless the both of you!

"They're tougher 'n woodpecker lips" I f lost it.

“If you don’t stop imitating me. I’m going to stab you you right in the heart. OK?” Classic. I took a couple of courses with Clint Smith many years ago in Texas. I learned a lot. I learned that I didn’t know shit. His hard exterior, developed through life experiences and learning what works, hides a cerebral thinker. Do Not underestimate the value of that character trait. He adapts his teaching to the student. That is his true talent.

The interservice rivalry is like a bunch of brothers and sisters who pick on each other all the time until someone outside the family picks on one of them...bad news for the outsider...

I genuinely think you should do one of these with Paul Harrell.

good times!

I'm 20, you're right. My dad is extremely smart and I respect him so much more since even last year. I used to be a punk, now I'm attempting to become an officer. I appreciate the honesty. (also im still stupid)

"Give the Marines more money so they don't get hand-me-downs!" The reason that is so funny is that it is so true. I worked on gear older than I was from 1988-1995.

First night I stumbled across Clint on RU-vid I found myself 3 hours later much wiser and wondering where the night went. Never heard of the guy before that night and I immediately knew to listen carefully to every word he was saying. Look at the guy and you can tell he's been places and done stuff. Legend.

Holy shit it's John Lovell and Clint Smith in a video together.

It's very hard to learn new shit in the middle of a fight.

I love his standard line "no disrespect intended or implied" He has that down pat. I love that!

This was the best 28 minutes I have ever wasted on RU-vid. I am in awe of you both 👍👍👍💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That intro though. awesome lol

Tougher than woodpecker lips.....I'll remember that one.

I heard that Clint was once bitten by a cobra and after 3 days of agony the cobra died! G.O.A.T!

Wow I'd pay for a class and be happy if I never fired a shot and just talked to Clint. Great stuff

My Dad (retired 28 yr military vet, E9) told me I never listen to him. "NOT TRUE" I Replied, "I listen to everything you say and I decide if that applies now and if not then I hold it back for later reference. He smiled and said, "Oh, OK". Thanks for all your wisdom Dad. RIP. I met Clint at Gunsite with Jeff Cooper Jul 1983? and again at TR Texas 2003. Love his insights.

Clint is legendary and John you are awesome thank you for the video!!👍👍

Have you ever enjoyed an interview more? One of the most "natural" interviews with Clint, I've ever seen! Good job poet!

This Marine is LOVING the banter (about minute 26)! The interservice stuff is for the young pups that don't know any better. We worked with Navy SEALS and those guys were hilarious!

A true warrior when you admire a man whose always looking for a real fighter spirit even in birds.

What have I done for my community? I am a former Police Officer and SWAT Team member, now a Pediatric Intensive Care Flight Nurse. I continue to train n and take care of my family. Please keep doing what you two do, you are both awesome!!!

Hands down, the best interview I’ve seen on RU-vid. Makes me proud to be an American, and can’t thank these men and the men and women like them for their service to the nation enough. We owe you everything sirs! Keep bringing the great videos John! Clint should do some open mike nights and an HBO comedy special! Clint! Clint! Clint!

OMG, I have attempted several time to watch this dang video. I laugh so dang hard, I miss several minutes of footage. I watch again, bust out laughing, repeat, repeat, repeat. It says 3400 views, probably only 5 guys ran those numbers up. Glad you and the Fam got to spend a little time in our incredible Outback.

Thanks for introducing Clint to me, Always appreciate the company of another good Marine. He is not angry, he is a Marine! OOHRAH!

EVERY class I've taken with Clint has been a very rewarding, educational and fun experience.

"Easy to run your gums when you haven't contributed anything..." truth.

I bet this class was epic. Also I’ve always said the trash talk between branches is like sibling rivalry. We can give each other crap all day. But no one else better mess with any of us or we are all jumping in.

I have 10 days till basic training which is in Fort Sill Oklahoma im really excited but im really nervous I think its mostly because I just turned 18 going in straight out of high school and I come from a town of 500 people. Thanks for making these videos John they’re AWESOME!!

John & Clint would be great on a podcast covering any subject they would care to discuss - self defense, life lessons, how to find the perfect chicken, all entertaining.

Thanks for introducing us to Clint Smith, he’s a world class character.

Young men should look to their elder men in awe and willing to seek wisdom from them. Today's narrative makes aging out to be a negative thing, but it is a true gift from God, worth respect and admiration from from the young, and praise to our Creator for such a generous gift.

words of wisdom.....this industry is WAAAAAYYYYY TOOOOOO SEERRRIIOOUUSSS!!! We need to lighten up. I agree.

I’ve never met Clint Smith however just listening to his videos reminds me of my grandfather who is just as ornery and salty as Clint.

Exactly what Clint said "people are way too serious"...i think they are the definition of tactitards. The types of guys that make most people not want to train.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain Pretty much what Clint said about his father.

Clint Smith and Robert A Heinlein, that combination should run society.

Best Clint smith interview ever. Period.

16:00 when he talked about Harry's daughter joining the IDF I legit said "woah!" out loud. Same with the son. Mad respect to those two.

You two are AWESOME! Thanks Clint, for letting John film with you. Like to hear from you for more than 6 minutes.

😂 My 380 isn’t pink, but I still feel called out.

I'd love to have more Clint and John videos in my life. Watching Johns reactions to what Clint says make it so much better.

Warrior Poet Profile: Clint Smith I could definitely see Clint having a pet velociraptor. 🦖

"I'm a pretty nice guy. I own a goose..." LMAO! Fucking Clint Smith! Thank you! And FYI, Marines have always been instrumental in the development and implementation of Close Air Support. They were on the forefront of these tactics when the technology was in its infancy, going clear back to the 1920s in Nicaragua, and has always been a priority to them. Other services viewed aircraft as primarily a means of deep interdiction and favored long range bombing raids behind enemy lines while Marines were constantly trying to get assets for support missions. Close Air Support is something the Marines have always been good at and cared about. Semper Fi!

Clint, Garand Thumbs Grandpapa...thanks daddy John for the best interview on the family reunion

These guys are giving pearls of wisdom young men listen up.

I'm a 24 year old father of four (started early lol), my father passed a month before I was born.... everything I know I had to learn on my own, now my two sons (10&8) and I love watching you fellas and others like you as a bonding thing, keep up the good work my kids get to have bonding time with their father like I never had.

Lovell you are a good dude. I don't think Clint is angry one bit. He is just a savage who expresses himself in that manner.

Two of the true firearms guys that talk the truth. Love the video.warriors hold alot in. Semper Fi my brothers. Keep at it and support all 2A supportive legislators. God Bless and MAGA

The two best trainers youtube has to offer! Awesome vid, and awesome intro!

Clint truly speaks the truth. Very honest guy who cares about people.

my grin muscles are out of condition. gonna feel this tomorrow...thx

You know he's a real nam vet because he sounds like he just got out of satan's smoke house

Really appreciated I mean REALLY appreciated the part we're Clint referred to his father. The last approximately two and a half years of my father's life were spent in a bed at home slowly dying that started with a slip in the bathroom that broke his hip and caused him to be laid up at the age of 88. This then stopped what had been an active man and caused his heart to slowly fade and build up fluids in his body. But thank God up until the last four days of his life his brain was as sharp as a razor, I took advantage these last few years of time as one in which he and I could not talk man to man, not father to son, not even authority figure to subject, just man to man who both had been through their wars, married, had children, mortgages, car payments, braces and college. And made sure that my view of him had evolved from hero worship to what can this guy be thinking?!, and finally how smart he had gotten by the time I was 30 years old, and that I hoped I had been the best son he could have hoped for, because he was the best father a kid could have hoped for. I racked my brain to try and think of everything I wanted to tell him or ask him, but have thought of so much more since his passing on September 20, 2012. V Rangers 6th June 1944 to 106th Infantry Division 21 December 1944 and then prison camp Stalag IXA and IXB to the end of World War II. If I were granted 3 wishes from the genie in a lamp it would be to go back in time and spend 24 hours with Jesus, 24 hours with my father before and right after his war, and considerably more time with myself at 21 to tell me not to make all the mistakes I eventually did make. Retired cop 24 years. 'NAMVET'70

Clint Smith vs. Clint Eastwood in an anger battle... need I say more?

gotta love conversations like this, talking about something very serious and throw in some crazy hummer

I think Clint Smith is the a great man at his young age im just barely behind him in age and feel his wisdom is well earned we need more guys with his thought process to mentor our future thanks

John, I'd never come across you before, and tbh it's only the 'legendary Clint Smith' that made made interested, but you're an excellent interviewer. Let the interviewee talk is what matters, and of course some nice interjections from yourself. Great stuff, and hello from the UK.

0:35 that look on clint's face is priceless! The original BMF

Mike Tyson "Everyone has a plan in a fight, until they get hit"

"Angry Clint and pissed off goose" is the action movie we all desperately need deserve!!!!💪💪💪

I wish I had the money to go train with Clint. He is a American icon! There should be way more men in the world like him!

Political correctness is destroying this amazing country, lord help us all...

Hilarious! Love the intro! It's awesome that you did a interview with him. Keep up the good work!

Really good stuff John and Clint. I remember when I thought my Dad was a jerk and didn't know anything..... .....and I remember realized he knew way more than I ever would. So grateful he's still around today and I was able to tell him myself. ;~) Thanks to both of you men for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. Be safe. Randy

The last thing I expected to see was George Patton and King Leonidas having a chat.

Passion and anger are different IMHO. A passion for your work is an awesome thing.

Clint!! The man, the myth, the legend!

Fantastic discussion. I can relate to the tension between an 18/19 year old versus their parents. I'm 40 now, and there have been many times that I look back at myself at age 20 and think how foolish I was. Selfish, arrogant, demanding, and unwilling to yield to anything. If you're in that age group now, please take that part of this video to heart. Be more humble. Be more open to direction and instruction - especially from your parents.

18:15 John laughing up a storm. 18:28 "Try out for Army Rangers..." John's face goes stone cold. ;) Memories are a cruel mistress, Sir, a cruel mistress.

When I was 15, running a rifle range, at Scout Camp, first job I ever had where I had W-2s. It really pissed me off that I had to pay taxes and I couldn't vote.

"They got curb feelers on those bitches." Love it!! I didn't know Clint was right down in Oregon, pretty close to me. I think I might take a class.

One of the best Clint Smith Interviews I've seen.

I have bought Clint's DVD's and watched him......John...this guy is truly one of the best for a common civilian. What I learned from those DVD's I still would practice today and say to police officers if I were to shoot an intruder of any type. Clint was my guy before I saw you. TAP, RACK, ATTEMPT FIRE.....Tap, Rack, PULL MAG....UNLOAD./....RELOAD....Tap, Rack, ATTEMPT FIRE

One of your best! Your intro was great. Time with Clint talking is gold.

Love this guy ..... need a couple million more just like him .... and I will never look at chickens the same way again without laughing !!

I had to google Clint because he sounded so much like a Marine, yep! I was right. 67-69 Marines that made it home are still “legends” in my mind. Then 10 yrs. As LE makes him incredible. As a firearms instructor I would just be mesmerized sitting and listening to him. 3rdMARDIV Vietnam Vet. Semper Fi.

This was a great video, great stuff...Some of the biggest hearted guys Ive ever meet were old Marines from Clints era, the "anger" is about focus to task, do what you got to do when your suppose to do it!

Both of you guys are the “real deal”. It was a pleasure watching you both work together. Thanks...

I really like Mr Clint. He pretty much tells it like it is. And, he knows what he is doing. When you do it ,and money is not your main driver, you will be successful. The best video I have seen in a while.

Finally watched this video after so many others... and I’m so glad I didn’t watch it first. I would’ve been completely ruined. I laughed way too hard through this episode. The magic that happens with John and Clint is perfect, and I’m glad no chickens were harmed in the making of this video.

"They got a .380 in pink and think they're good to go..." Lol.
