Latest / Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags / The Motor City Madman Unleashed: Ted Nugent’s No-Holds-Barred Truth about America 250
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We've got to talk about the America two fifty concert series.
- 0:02Speaker 1: You had the President of the United States. I don't
- 0:04Speaker 1: care if it's Barack Obama. I don't care if it's
- 0:06Speaker 1: Joe Biden or Bill Clinton. If they asked me to
- 0:09Speaker 1: go and play the national anthem on my saxophone, I'm
- 0:10Speaker 1: going to show up and play it. If somebody, if
- 0:13Speaker 1: the president asked you to go celebrate the birth of
- 0:15Speaker 1: this nation, the quarter of a millennium celebration, you say, yes,
- 0:19Speaker 1: don't you ted?
- 0:21Speaker 2: You know what, we're surrounded by such whimps, I mean,
- 0:24Speaker 2: such eddy little goofballs. Yes, the answer is a resounding yes.
- 0:29Speaker 2: This is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this
- 0:32Speaker 2: unique United States of America DNA. It's called rebel. It's
- 0:37Speaker 2: called rebellion. We met King George's punks at the Concord
- 0:42Speaker 2: Bridge when coincidentally they came to take away our right
- 0:46Speaker 2: to self of defense and the right to keep the
- 0:48Speaker 2: bare arms. So we met them at the Concord Bridge
- 0:51Speaker 2: and we shot him in the face. And that's what
- 0:54Speaker 2: happens when you try to denude and try to take
- 0:56Speaker 2: away freedoms from a free man who relies on self
- 0:59Speaker 2: evident truth and actually wrote down the self evident truth
- 1:03Speaker 2: in these sacred documents. So yes, you know, the Nugent
- 1:06Speaker 2: family is celebrating in two hundred and fifty years. I'm
- 1:08Speaker 2: doing the best concerts of my life. I have the
- 1:10Speaker 2: best band in the world, the best audiences in the world.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I play the national anthem every night, Joe, and it's emotional,
- 1:19Speaker 2: it's powerful. There's a lot of clenched fists, but there's
- 1:21Speaker 2: all smiling faces and people know. The whole world sucks,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but America sucks less. And with Donald Trump, we're sucking
- 1:29Speaker 2: less and less every day.
- 1:31Speaker 1: You know, when you've got Morris Day and the time
- 1:33Speaker 1: who hasn't had hit since nineteen eighty seven, and then
- 1:35Speaker 1: you've got million Vanilli, half of which I think died.
- 1:39Speaker 1: When they're saying no, I mean, I don't get it.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So what is it about the pressure that falls on
- 1:45Speaker 1: somebody like a Morris Day or like a half a
- 1:48Speaker 1: million Vanilly? What makes them think or Martina McBride, what
- 1:52Speaker 1: makes them think I can't possibly do this because this
- 1:54Speaker 1: guy is president. Isn't the country bigger than any one man.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Isn't the actual opportunity to for the annals of time, ted,
- 2:02Speaker 1: whoever plays of this concert is going to be seen
- 2:05Speaker 1: in the historical books. And they said no because somebody
- 2:09Speaker 1: on Twitter said something, what goes on in the brain?
- 2:12Speaker 1: Do you think of people that would say yes and
- 2:14Speaker 1: then quickly say no when somebody called him out.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Well, I've been around for seventy eight years, seventy eight years,
- 2:20Speaker 2: clean and sober, so my mental spiritual radar picks up
- 2:24Speaker 2: accurate information, It digests and analyzes that accurate information, and
- 2:28Speaker 2: it makes sensible decisions. The only person, the only person
- 2:32Speaker 2: that I can blame on anything in life, is the
- 2:34Speaker 2: guy in the mirror, and that goes for everybody out there.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But you know, we've talked about this before with the Teachers'
- 2:39Speaker 2: Union intentionally dumbing down of America. We are so dumb.
- 2:43Speaker 2: If you see the roving reporter on the streets and
- 2:45Speaker 2: they ask who we won the independence from seventeen seventy six,
- 2:50Speaker 2: we are graduating the dumbest people in the history of
- 2:54Speaker 2: the world. And the Left celebrates lack of knowledge. You
- 2:59Speaker 2: listen to these people, try to form a sentence, try
- 3:01Speaker 2: to form a syllable without getting in a fight. And
- 3:04Speaker 2: these artists, they're a manifestation of this dumbing down process
- 3:09Speaker 2: where you nailed it, Joe. You know, we have our
- 3:13Speaker 2: problems in America, but I'm having the greatest year of
- 3:17Speaker 2: my life because I improvise, adapt and overcome. I pay
- 3:21Speaker 2: attention to my conduct and my actions to make sure
- 3:24Speaker 2: that my actions and conduct are beneficial not just to me,
- 3:28Speaker 2: but to my family and my neighbors, and my land,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and my band and my crew, and the people who
- 3:33Speaker 2: pay to see us perform. So all you have to
- 3:35Speaker 2: do here's a rare one. I don't think this is
- 3:37Speaker 2: legal in the Democrat Party, but you have to actually think.
- 3:41Speaker 2: You have to use your head. So these people, they've
- 3:43Speaker 2: been so dumbed down and brainwashed. I mean like Bruce Springsteen,
- 3:48Speaker 2: God bless him in his East Street band. They've made
- 3:50Speaker 2: some wonderful, soulful music. Both of us were inspired by
- 3:53Speaker 2: Mitch Ryder and James Brown and Wilson Pick Chuck Berry.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But how can a guy who has become a billionaire
- 4:02Speaker 2: through capitalism condemn capitalism? This is don't try to figure
- 4:07Speaker 2: out you'll get a headache. Just know that they're really
- 4:09Speaker 2: really stupid people and we need to just ignore them.
- 4:13Speaker 1: It is a ted nugent rock and roll a legend.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I can't believe that we've been friends for twenty six years. Ted,
- 4:19Speaker 1: by the way, inducted into the Michigan Outdoor Hall of
- 4:21Speaker 1: Fame this August. Congratulations on that. Go and check out these.
- 4:25Speaker 1: These are smaller venues on purpose. You can still sell
- 4:28Speaker 1: out giant auditoriums, but smaller venues on purpose. These are
- 4:31Speaker 1: more personal concerts. And from what I hear from every
- 4:34Speaker 1: toy who goes, you're better than you were in nineteen
- 4:36Speaker 1: seventy eight, which is hard for me to believe. But
- 4:38Speaker 1: then again, I've sat next to you as you played
- 4:41Speaker 1: a Stranglehold and everything else, so I know how good
- 4:43Speaker 1: you still are. With all that in mind, did you
- 4:45Speaker 1: ever when you were jumping off of amplifiers for cat
- 4:48Speaker 1: scratch fever and going crazy in those concent in the
- 4:51Speaker 1: late seventies in the early eighties, did you ever think
- 4:53Speaker 1: to yourself, let me make sure that I understand everybody's
- 4:56Speaker 1: politics in the audience, or were you doing it for
- 4:58Speaker 1: the masses? Ted, Because they don't seem to do that anymore.
- 5:00Speaker 1: They want to only play to the side that they
- 5:03Speaker 1: think they agrees with them. That's a big difference, isn't it.
- 5:06Speaker 2: You know, we said in a tennis record at Bike
- 5:08Speaker 2: Week in Arizona a couple months ago, at tens of
- 5:10Speaker 2: thousands of people just dancing their asses off every night
- 5:14Speaker 2: on stage. I look out there and I see little
- 5:16Speaker 2: boys and girls. I see teenagers, I see thirty something.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I see guys that are older than I am. Even
- 5:21Speaker 2: when they're younger than I am, they look older than
- 5:23Speaker 2: I am. But bottom line is, it's about the art.
- 5:26Speaker 2: And I've had people come up that I don't agree
- 5:29Speaker 2: with my politics, and of course I scold them because
- 5:31Speaker 2: my politics are the US Constitution. Hey, uncle Ted, I
- 5:34Speaker 2: love your political views. The Constitution isn't a view, the
- 5:39Speaker 2: Declaration of Independence isn't a presumption. So bottom line, as
- 5:44Speaker 2: you're right, I've been playing for the last sixty eight years,
- 5:48Speaker 2: sixty nine years, I've been playing rock and roll on
- 5:50Speaker 2: rhythm of blues, soul music, and I don't care if
- 5:54Speaker 2: they've prayed their hard earned money to see my band
- 5:57Speaker 2: and I my boys. We put our heart and soul
- 5:59Speaker 2: into every song, every lick, every concert, every night, and
- 6:02Speaker 2: they realize they're getting their money's worth. So in twenty
- 6:05Speaker 2: twenty six, I did my seven fifty first concert here
- 6:09Speaker 2: last week in Texas. These are the best, most gratifying,
- 6:13Speaker 2: energized fun fun. The music Little Richard taught us how
- 6:18Speaker 2: to have fun. So it really doesn't matter what walk
- 6:21Speaker 2: of life, what perspective people come to my concert. There's
- 6:24Speaker 2: probably animal rights people come to my concert knowing that
- 6:27Speaker 2: I'm distributing venison after the show, but they come because
- 6:31Speaker 2: the music has a life of its own. I'm Little
- 6:34Speaker 2: Richard was a gay guy with a pampador singing about
- 6:37Speaker 2: abusing your daughter. But everybody loves the energy and the pisson,
- 6:42Speaker 2: the vinegar. So that's the bottom line to artists. So
- 6:45Speaker 2: I don't understand how artists can compartmentalize and try to
- 6:50Speaker 2: deal with just their favorite people. My music is for
- 6:53Speaker 2: people who love life and have a positive energy in
- 6:56Speaker 2: a attitude, and my soundtrack is the ultimate soundtrack for
- 6:59Speaker 2: those people.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Rock and roll legend Ted Nugent go to Ted NuGen
- 7:02Speaker 1: dot com. Twenty twenty six American Outdoor Sportsman of the Year.
- 7:05Speaker 1: There you go. Let's just add some more awards and rewards,
- 7:08Speaker 1: very very deserving. By the way, let's talk about the
- 7:11Speaker 1: reflecting pool. I want to talk about how stupid this is.
- 7:14Speaker 1: We now have a faction of people. I saw a
- 7:17Speaker 1: guy get arrested yesterday trying to make the reflecting pool
- 7:20Speaker 1: green again, or trying to cut a hole in the
- 7:23Speaker 1: line or the reflecting pool because somehow Trump is a fascist. Literally,
- 7:27Speaker 1: there was a reporter yellington, what are you doing? Why
- 7:29Speaker 1: did you do that? Oh, you're on their side. You're
- 7:31Speaker 1: a fascist.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Ted.
- 7:32Speaker 1: If you think somebody's a fascist, you make the pool green.
- 7:35Speaker 1: What is going on in the mentality of America right now?
- 7:37Speaker 1: Can you figure it out?
- 7:38Speaker 2: You know? I know I can't figure it out, and
- 7:41Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna try because I get such a
- 7:43Speaker 2: kick out of idiots. By the way, it's just a
- 7:46Speaker 2: but I'm actually drinking some of the algai from the reflection.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Here's some advice that I know you respect your elders.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Don't try to figure out supid. Just identify it as stupid,
- 8:03Speaker 2: and hopefully we can have some law enforcement to stop
- 8:06Speaker 2: stupid from ruining everybody else's life. I've learned a long
- 8:11Speaker 2: time ago. And people would attack me because I carry
- 8:14Speaker 2: a gun keep it in bearing arms is perfect. People
- 8:17Speaker 2: would attack me because I killed deer and eat venison.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Conservation and venison is perfect. So I knew instinctively, even
- 8:25Speaker 2: though I didn't know what a debate was, and I
- 8:27Speaker 2: graduated from the anti American education system. I instinctively raised
- 8:31Speaker 2: by a great mom and dad and a family who
- 8:33Speaker 2: had to earn their own way, live within their means,
- 8:35Speaker 2: safe for a rainy day. I knew instinctively that self
- 8:38Speaker 2: defense is perfect. So you can take your criticism against
- 8:41Speaker 2: my gun and shove it, and eating venison is the
- 8:44Speaker 2: most perfect of perfect, balancing the herd and maximizing the
- 8:48Speaker 2: productivity of wildlife habitat. So I instinctively knew that my
- 8:52Speaker 2: critics and people attacking me were just idiots. So I've
- 8:56Speaker 2: had a lot of fun laughing at idiots. Here's some
- 8:59Speaker 2: good advice. Everybody laugh at the idiots.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Very good advice from Uncle Ted. Now we can laugh
- 9:05Speaker 1: at the idiots, and you're right, it's kind of fun.
- 9:08Speaker 1: But when the idiots become forty to fifty percent of
- 9:10Speaker 1: the country, that becomes a problem. Ted, I mean, you've
- 9:13Speaker 1: got people who truly believe Donald Trump is a tyrant
- 9:16Speaker 1: or a fascist. They truly believed that You're no good this,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and that the truly believe that I'm gon no good this.
- 9:21Speaker 1: In that because we love the Constitution, because we love
- 9:23Speaker 1: our freedom and liberty, because we don't think government should
- 9:26Speaker 1: intrude in our lives, like they want government to take
- 9:27Speaker 1: over everything you got. Somebody like Mam Donnie gets elected
- 9:31Speaker 1: in New York by lying about affordability, and now he's
- 9:34Speaker 1: basically said, we're going to increase the bus fares, We're
- 9:36Speaker 1: going to take over private businesses, We're going to take
- 9:38Speaker 1: over privately owned homes. Ted, what's going on again? We
- 9:42Speaker 1: can laugh at them, but they're getting a lot of
- 9:44Speaker 1: power suddenly.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Well equal to the laughing at idiots. I'm a fighter, yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 2: I know that the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary is
- 9:52Speaker 2: a celebration of rebels who knew that kings shouldn't have
- 9:57Speaker 2: any say so in our destiny or a of life.
- 10:00Speaker 2: So I remain a rebel against those forces. And it
- 10:03Speaker 2: really is the lunatic fringe. But even a fringe in
- 10:05Speaker 2: this modern world is a huge number of people. They
- 10:08Speaker 2: still control academia, they still control the media for the
- 10:12Speaker 2: most parts. They still control most of the bureaucracies that
- 10:15Speaker 2: are all corrupt. All bureaucracies are corrupt. So the enemy
- 10:20Speaker 2: is quite substantial out there. So I fight like a
- 10:23Speaker 2: son of a bitch, and I try to make sure
- 10:26Speaker 2: that I endorse John James for Governor of Michigan, for
- 10:29Speaker 2: Gina Johnson for District thirty three, Bill Sage for District.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I'm a political animal because the experiment in self government
- 10:38Speaker 2: is all about politics, and I make sure that the
- 10:41Speaker 2: people I endorse and get elected are Christian constitutional conservative
- 10:47Speaker 2: conservationists who stand up for earning your own way, private
- 10:51Speaker 2: property rights, law and order, never letting rapists ever out
- 10:56Speaker 2: of the cage. So these are the kinds of quality
- 10:59Speaker 2: of life issues that I fight for. While I'm laughing
- 11:01Speaker 2: in their face, I'm fighting to get rid of them
- 11:04Speaker 2: and elect accurate representation for Christian constitutional conservative conservation representation.
- 11:12Speaker 2: And by the way, hunter nation dot org, we're gonna
- 11:15Speaker 2: put it on the screen. Joe hunter Nation dot org
- 11:17Speaker 2: is going after conservatives that didn't vote. We are getting
- 11:22Speaker 2: them to vote those core values because as we laugh
- 11:26Speaker 2: in the face of the idiots, we're going to replace
- 11:28Speaker 2: them where people who represent the core values that created
- 11:32Speaker 2: the greatest quality of life the United States of America
- 11:36Speaker 2: in the history of the human experience.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I was blown away by what I learned from you.
- 11:40Speaker 1: A couple of times ago that we spoke. I think
- 11:42Speaker 1: it was actually before the twenty twenty four election. How
- 11:45Speaker 1: many Hunters did you sign up? Was it two or
- 11:47Speaker 1: three hundred thousand that were not even registered to vote?
- 11:50Speaker 2: Many millions the seventh doing states in twenty four. Hunter
- 11:55Speaker 2: nation dot org played the biggest role. We scolded them.
- 11:59Speaker 2: We found million and I use the term hunters because
- 12:02Speaker 2: those are conservationists, those are conservatives, Those are hardworking people
- 12:08Speaker 2: who are in the asset column for godfamily country. We
- 12:11Speaker 2: found that no state had even fifty percent of hunters
- 12:14Speaker 2: that had ever registered to vote. So I went after
- 12:17Speaker 2: him and we got millions to vote, and we're getting
- 12:21Speaker 2: more and more. In fact, Keith Mark, thefounder of hunter
- 12:25Speaker 2: Nation dot organs in Washington, d C. Once again making
- 12:28Speaker 2: sure that the bureaucrats represent people in the asset column
- 12:32Speaker 2: instead of represent people in the liability column. And we
- 12:35Speaker 2: know what those columns look like. Hardworking people who abide
- 12:39Speaker 2: by the law and take care of their family and
- 12:42Speaker 2: produce versus those that suck blood from the rest of us.
- 12:46Speaker 1: It is a technowge. You got to tech nugent dot
- 12:48Speaker 1: com twenty twenty six. American outdoor Sports one of the year.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Check out his program. What is it Saturday at three
- 12:52Speaker 1: on Real America's Voice.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, Real America's Voice, the spirit campfire.
- 12:56Speaker 2: That would be flames coming out of my ass. So
- 12:58Speaker 2: be sure you bring marginalists.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to fry some marshmallows on those flames.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It is Ted Notion his hot self. Amazing to have
- 13:06Speaker 1: you every single time. I think you told me this before.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Can you tell my audience again, why weren't these hunters
- 13:12Speaker 1: signed up? Why were they just complacent? And I mean
- 13:15Speaker 1: were they apathetic because of a specific reason? Were they
- 13:18Speaker 1: too busy? Why weren't they signed up?
- 13:20Speaker 2: Well, Number one, voting takes place during the peak of
- 13:23Speaker 2: the hunting season. But that excuse, that is such a lame,
- 13:27Speaker 2: spineless excuse. But ultimately we've talked about it before. Worst
- 13:30Speaker 2: than Democrats, worse than Marxists, worst than communists, worse than
- 13:34Speaker 2: the enemies of America are Americans constricted by apathy, non players,
- 13:41Speaker 2: non engagement is the worst person America. This is an
- 13:44Speaker 2: experiment in self government. Every family has a moral, spiritual obligation,
- 13:49Speaker 2: of patriotic obligation to vote for accurate representation. We do
- 13:54Speaker 2: the Tea Party, then but right now we're scrambling for
- 13:57Speaker 2: damage control because we didn't vote family values for quality control.
- 14:02Speaker 2: So apathy is the worst curse mankind can exist. So ultimately,
- 14:07Speaker 2: everybody get out there, register to vote, vote for Christian
- 14:11Speaker 2: constitutional conservative conservation representation, and the toilet flush of America
- 14:16Speaker 2: will come to an end.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah it is Ted Nugeen. Go to Ted NuGen dot
- 14:19Speaker 1: com right now. I always have to talk to you
- 14:21Speaker 1: about music. As I'm watching a lot of videos over
- 14:24Speaker 1: on YouTube and elsewhere people are breaking down music. I
- 14:26Speaker 1: love the clip that I'm sure you've seen by now,
- 14:29Speaker 1: Joe Rogan asking a guy who's interviewing have you heard
- 14:33Speaker 1: a stranglehold hold by Ted Nugent And he's like, I
- 14:36Speaker 1: don't think so. And then Rogan plays it and he's
- 14:39Speaker 1: like you got to hear it. He plays it and
- 14:40Speaker 1: the guy goes, oh, yeah, no, I do know this song. Ted.
- 14:43Speaker 1: There's something about your music and I want look, I
- 14:45Speaker 1: know that you're very confident in who you are, but
- 14:48Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody's ever asked you this. When you
- 14:50Speaker 1: write something like stranglehold, do you know that it's going
- 14:53Speaker 1: to hit me in the gut. It's not just a song.
- 14:56Speaker 1: It's not just a riff, it's it's like, Okay, my
- 14:59Speaker 1: blood's pumping a different now. It's almost like Welcome to
- 15:01Speaker 1: the Jungle by Guns n' Roses has the same effect
- 15:04Speaker 1: on me. Catskrat Fever does too. What is it about
- 15:07Speaker 1: the riffs that you write to open your songs? Is
- 15:10Speaker 1: it a visceral ethereal thing that you feel in your body?
- 15:14Speaker 1: And then you're like, okay, that's the one.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Well, Joe, the best way to explain it. But just
- 15:18Speaker 2: before I came out with you, I was signing a
- 15:20Speaker 2: bunch of these guitars. I was playing these guitar too.
- 15:23Speaker 2: You can go to Toby at ted nugent dot com
- 15:26Speaker 2: and purchased one of these, making donating for our children's
- 15:28Speaker 2: charity nonprofit. But ultimately, I don't think about anything when
- 15:33Speaker 2: I make music. I channel Little Richard and I'm a
- 15:37Speaker 2: music lover. I love what James Brown does. I love
- 15:41Speaker 2: what the Motown Funk Brothers do. I love what Chuck
- 15:44Speaker 2: Berry and Bo Diddley created. This this sexy, grinding, spiritual
- 15:50Speaker 2: rhythm that really encompasses the spirit of adventure and the
- 15:54Speaker 2: spirit of fluidity, if I may. But when I create
- 15:58Speaker 2: a piece of music come in from shooting my bow,
- 16:01Speaker 2: or training with my firearms, training my dogs, uh, snuggling
- 16:05Speaker 2: with Chemaine, playing with my grandkids, and I'll grab a
- 16:08Speaker 2: guitar and immediately a rhythm that is like the son
- 16:13Speaker 2: of Chuck Berry, the son of Motown. The rhythms happen
- 16:17Speaker 2: because I crave a rhythm, I crave a groove. I
- 16:21Speaker 2: crave a note pattern and sequence. And because my hand's
- 16:26Speaker 2: been there so many millions of times, my hands can
- 16:29Speaker 2: deliver what my ears crave. And then the song makes
- 16:33Speaker 2: me think of a stand in a belief system. Especially
- 16:36Speaker 2: Wang Dang Sweetpoon Tang. That was an emotion. But the songs,
- 16:42Speaker 2: when I make these songs, it's martial arts. It's it's
- 16:47Speaker 2: out of body. I don't think I've never sat down
- 16:50Speaker 2: in my life with a pencil and paper and written
- 16:53Speaker 2: a lyric. I have a song called Crave, and I
- 16:56Speaker 2: just sat down and went a simple life. I will
- 16:58Speaker 2: not have. It doesn't satisfy me. I don't believe in
- 17:01Speaker 2: the status quote kind of leave me weak. A mountain
- 17:04Speaker 2: high is what I climb. I swim a river deep,
- 17:06Speaker 2: and if you want the time of your life, try
- 17:08Speaker 2: to keep up with me. I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly,
- 17:10Speaker 2: I'm gonna soar till the day I die on the
- 17:13Speaker 2: wings of a bird of prey. This is what I crave.
- 17:17Speaker 2: That embodies my approach to music. Because little Richard Mitch
- 17:21Speaker 2: riding the Detroit Wheels, those soulful Masters, Howling Wolf and
- 17:26Speaker 2: Muddy Waters Motown, they so move us that I didn't.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I wasn't happy just hearing it and listening to it.
- 17:34Speaker 2: I wanted to express myself in that same way. And
- 17:36Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty six, Joe, this is a miracle.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I'm old. I'm seventy eight years old. I am creating
- 17:42Speaker 2: the most dangerous animal breeding soundtrack fun music of my life,
- 17:47Speaker 2: and we unleash it on stage every night. That's why
- 17:49Speaker 2: it's seventy eight. I don't look like those other seventy
- 17:52Speaker 2: eight years old because I've been clean and sober and
- 17:54Speaker 2: I let my life fly every day no doubt.
- 17:58Speaker 1: My friend go to Technisian dot com tm ted, is
- 18:00Speaker 1: there any artists today? And the reason why I bring
- 18:03Speaker 1: up the breakdowns of songs like like you came up
- 18:05Speaker 1: with and others because we're going back to the seventies,
- 18:08Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. We're going back to when music
- 18:10Speaker 1: had added a richness to it that meant you're not
- 18:13Speaker 1: going to release it if it doesn't make you feel
- 18:14Speaker 1: a certain way. Like today, we're just putting it out.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Just put it out. Download the MP three over here,
- 18:18Speaker 1: here's the latest album on Spotify. Whatever. Is there anybody
- 18:21Speaker 1: today that you think to yourself, that young person has it?
- 18:24Speaker 1: Is there anybody that you go, all right, I get
- 18:26Speaker 1: it if you're sixty four or older. This is critical.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Medicare is a nightmare in thousands of plans, confusing rules,
- 18:33Speaker 1: spam mailers, conflicting advice. It's all a mess. Let's clear
- 18:37Speaker 1: that up for you. Nobody in Washington, by the way,
- 18:39Speaker 1: really cares about whether you picked the right plan or not.
- 18:41Speaker 1: That's not an accident. The system is not built for clarity.
- 18:44Speaker 1: It's not built for you. It's built for confusion. Chapter
- 18:48Speaker 1: is the only Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide,
- 18:52Speaker 1: not just a handful, every single plan available, and they
- 18:55Speaker 1: match it to your doctors, your prescriptions, your life. Real advisors,
- 18:59Speaker 1: No pressure, just support. It's a free call that takes
- 19:02Speaker 1: under twenty minutes. Don't let the system pick you're playing
- 19:04Speaker 1: for you click the link right now and connect to
- 19:07Speaker 1: chapter today.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I mentioned Chruck Barring Little Rich
- 19:11Speaker 2: and all the Motown masters, and certainly my buddies Tommy
- 19:14Speaker 2: Shaw with Sticks, My Damn Yankee, Buddy Jack Blades with
- 19:16Speaker 2: night Ranger. Now they're not new bands, but they still
- 19:19Speaker 2: keep that fire going. The Mitch Ryder band mate, Jim
- 19:24Speaker 2: McCarty and Johnny Banajik, they're still playing in Detroit. There's
- 19:26Speaker 2: a kid named Mark Cassa in Detroit that has a
- 19:29Speaker 2: band called Slight Return. There's a kid, he's a teenager,
- 19:32Speaker 2: called Sam Bittenbender. There's a new guitar player out there
- 19:35Speaker 2: called Jared James Nichols and Wes Jeans. These guys are
- 19:39Speaker 2: unleashing fire, grooves and energy every night. Now they're not
- 19:44Speaker 2: having hit wrecords right now, but they're still out there
- 19:47Speaker 2: performing and people are coming to see him. The Ted
- 19:49Speaker 2: Nugent is able to take my amazing band and do
- 19:52Speaker 2: gigs all across the Heartland in the summer of twenty
- 19:55Speaker 2: twenty six and have the time of my life. Certainly
- 20:00Speaker 2: a gift from God. So it's about the spirit of
- 20:02Speaker 2: the music. And there's Sam wherever. Sammy Hagar plays, that's
- 20:06Speaker 2: the real McCoy. That's Chuck Berry and bou Dilly. When
- 20:08Speaker 2: Sammy plays that's Little Richard, that's James Brown. So the
- 20:11Speaker 2: best music is still alive.
- 20:13Speaker 1: And well, if you were starting today, could you be
- 20:16Speaker 1: who you are now? And I know it's a loaded question.
- 20:19Speaker 1: You obviously are somebody who's going to succeed no matter
- 20:21Speaker 1: what you try. I get it. You're an A type.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I'm an A type. People like us, we're gonna do something,
- 20:25Speaker 1: going to grind until we succeed. But if you were
- 20:28Speaker 1: just starting today, you were that eleven year old kid
- 20:30Speaker 1: at the soda shop or whatever it is, could you
- 20:32Speaker 1: have made it to where you are today? If you
- 20:34Speaker 1: are starting in today's music industry, which is light years
- 20:37Speaker 1: different than than the way it was in the sixties.
- 20:41Speaker 2: You know, you say eleven year old at a soda shop.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I was an eleven year old at Waltz Malt Shop
- 20:45Speaker 2: on Grand River and Warwick Avenue, Detroit, nineteen fifty nine.
- 20:49Speaker 2: That was me. I literally know it.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I know, Chad, That's why I said it.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but it needs to be emphasized because
- 20:55Speaker 2: that's not how you think it starts. But that's how
- 20:59Speaker 2: it can start wonderfully. Bo Diddley Licks and a couple
- 21:02Speaker 2: of kids would show up, and then the next night
- 21:04Speaker 2: at the Rosedale Park Theater, a couple more kids showed up.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Because I was really grinding. I wanted to be bothuck Berry.
- 21:12Speaker 2: So I think with my spirit my work ethic, and
- 21:17Speaker 2: that goes for all those bands I just mentioned, and
- 21:19Speaker 2: all your bands, even the music that I don't care for,
- 21:22Speaker 2: they all have an amazing work ethic because it takes
- 21:25Speaker 2: a lot of work to put these songs together and
- 21:28Speaker 2: make the band tight and authoritative. So that spirit and
- 21:32Speaker 2: that work ethic, I absolutely believe that if Ted Nuger
- 21:35Speaker 2: was born in nineteen ninety nine and I found a
- 21:39Speaker 2: malt shop that I could play chuck Berry and I
- 21:41Speaker 2: played it. Where my forehead you gotta have forehead veins popping.
- 21:46Speaker 2: I want to hear these four crescendos for every song,
- 21:50Speaker 2: and I want fingers to bleed at the end of
- 21:53Speaker 2: every set. And if you put that kind of passion
- 21:55Speaker 2: and energy into it, people will celebrate it with you.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Ways and again, Ted NuGen dot com, It's the MotorCity
- 22:02Speaker 1: Madmen rock and roll legend. Ted NuGen friend of mine
- 22:05Speaker 1: for over a quarter of a century. That's crazy had
- 22:09Speaker 1: you had the music ability that you have starting today
- 22:13Speaker 1: with more access because I think there might be a
- 22:16Speaker 1: positive to today's ability as well. You can press a
- 22:19Speaker 1: button and you're on the Internet and anybody who's got
- 22:21Speaker 1: an Internet connection might hear what you're doing. Might there
- 22:24Speaker 1: be a better way in for really driven people, very
- 22:27Speaker 1: intelligent musically people in today's day and age. I know
- 22:30Speaker 1: that the music industry is very different. I think there's
- 22:31Speaker 1: a lot of fake out there, a lot of people
- 22:33Speaker 1: not really doing what they pretend like they're doing. But
- 22:35Speaker 1: I think that if you're starting up in your Ted
- 22:37Speaker 1: Nugent in twenty twenty six, I think you press a button,
- 22:40Speaker 1: put it on the internet, you might be a sensation overnight.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I mean, is there an ability for young people to
- 22:44Speaker 1: take advantage of the new technology that we have?
- 22:48Speaker 2: Well, channel Robert de Niro in Heat when he said
- 22:50Speaker 2: there's a flip side to that coin. So there is.
- 22:55Speaker 2: The flip side is not very pretty, and that is
- 22:58Speaker 2: that you can have. I think strength Hold is approaching
- 23:01Speaker 2: a billion what they call streams wow, and my Fred
- 23:05Speaker 2: Bhaer is approaching a billion streams because people love powerful, emotional, dynamic,
- 23:13Speaker 2: fun music. But in the old days, I could get
- 23:17Speaker 2: a couple bucks per album sold. I think if you
- 23:20Speaker 2: have a billion stream you might get twenty nine ninety five.
- 23:25Speaker 2: So capitalism is about putting your heart and soul into
- 23:29Speaker 2: creating a product or service that I was blind to
- 23:33Speaker 2: the compensatory consideration as well. They actually said compensatory considerations.
- 23:39Speaker 2: I wasn't. I wasn't aware of getting paid. I just
- 23:42Speaker 2: wanted to make music until I started realizing that instead
- 23:45Speaker 2: of ten people came to the gay get a buck ahead,
- 23:47Speaker 2: there was two hundred people. Well that's my money. They
- 23:50Speaker 2: came to see. They didn't come to see the walls.
- 23:52Speaker 2: So you have have And if you're going to put
- 23:55Speaker 2: a band together and get an amplifier and get guitar strings,
- 23:57Speaker 2: and get a van and get a trailer and pay
- 24:00Speaker 2: for the gas and change the oil and get new tires,
- 24:02Speaker 2: you got to get paid to keep afloat. That payment
- 24:07Speaker 2: has dramatically been reduced. And I know guys that bust
- 24:11Speaker 2: their ass, that are incredible virtuosos, and they can they
- 24:16Speaker 2: can barely pay the fee to keep that boat afloat
- 24:20Speaker 2: because the compensation in the in the music selling industry,
- 24:23Speaker 2: the records, the CDs whatever, I don't even know what
- 24:26Speaker 2: they are. Now you can't keep up. Now we're selling
- 24:29Speaker 2: a lot of my original vinyls. There's a new system
- 24:32Speaker 2: called nuge Vault, nuge vault dot com where we're getting
- 24:36Speaker 2: all this archives, all these old recordings and outtakes and
- 24:40Speaker 2: extra songs from the recording sessions of my forty million
- 24:43Speaker 2: albums sold and people are buying these. So I'm still
- 24:47Speaker 2: lucky that people dig into what makes Ted Nugent tick
- 24:50Speaker 2: and there's a lot of It's called nuge vault dot
- 24:53Speaker 2: com and it's it's a huge success because people want
- 24:56Speaker 2: to know what makes this maniac tick. And as soon
- 24:59Speaker 2: as you figure it out, call me, would.
- 25:01Speaker 1: You it is a Ted newge and go to Ted
- 25:02Speaker 1: Nusi dot com, nuge vault dot com, go there as well,
- 25:05Speaker 1: and hunter nation dot org. Is that what it is?
- 25:07Speaker 2: Dead? That's right, Joe, very important, Go.
- 25:10Speaker 1: There and check all of those out. Let me throw
- 25:12Speaker 1: a name out and you might not even know much
- 25:15Speaker 1: of his music. But a guy who looks like he's grinding,
- 25:17Speaker 1: like he doesn't like he needs a job, and he's
- 25:20Speaker 1: very very successful, as Bruno Mars Bruno Omars goes on
- 25:23Speaker 1: stage and will perform and entertain you. I think that
- 25:26Speaker 1: his music is fun music. A lot of it is
- 25:28Speaker 1: in a major key, and it's danceable music. But he
- 25:31Speaker 1: looks like he's sweating his face off when he's out
- 25:34Speaker 1: there working it. He's not like these you know, all
- 25:36Speaker 1: packaged up and you know everything's perfect people. But I
- 25:40Speaker 1: think there's something about his ethic that reminds me of you.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Is that something or not, Well.
- 25:44Speaker 2: It's not out of the ordinary that you identify that.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Because Bruno Mars is a musical force to reckon with,
- 25:50Speaker 2: because he's son of James Brown, He's son of Richard,
- 25:54Speaker 2: he is son of Michael Jackson, who whether people love
- 25:57Speaker 2: him or not, I don't know how I can't love him,
- 25:58Speaker 2: eve though we had a tragic life. But his work,
- 26:01Speaker 2: his focus on cultivating his musical gifts from God. That
- 26:05Speaker 2: describes Bruno Mars. I'm a huge Bruno Mars fan. But
- 26:09Speaker 2: let's get right to the important thing. Way more important
- 26:11Speaker 2: than Ted NuGen is my band. Way more important than
- 26:15Speaker 2: Bruno Mars is his incredible band. Way more important than
- 26:19Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen is the East Street Band. So never forget
- 26:23Speaker 2: that these guys and us guys, we bust our ass
- 26:27Speaker 2: to deliver the musical beast to the best of our
- 26:31Speaker 2: ability every night. And that described Bruno Mars, which is
- 26:34Speaker 2: why you and I are huge fans of his.
- 26:36Speaker 1: It is Ted Nudge. I'm a huge fan of his
- 26:38Speaker 1: because I think you nailed it. I didn't think about
- 26:40Speaker 1: it until you said it. But he is feeding off
- 26:42Speaker 1: of James and you know, Chuck Berry and all these
- 26:45Speaker 1: guys because he's not playing music that you would think
- 26:48Speaker 1: is typically twenty twenty six music. He's bringing us music
- 26:51Speaker 1: that's like seventies funk. He's bringing us like early eighties
- 26:54Speaker 1: you know, I mean the stuff that he's doing. And
- 26:56Speaker 1: then you're right, the band that he's got is amazing.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Let me circle back to something that you and I
- 27:00Speaker 1: know very well, which is work ethic. I got my
- 27:02Speaker 1: first job at twelve. I was cleaning out fish tanks
- 27:04Speaker 1: in South Florida. Twelve years old. I wanted twenty five
- 27:07Speaker 1: cents a day. You're at the malt shop, you know,
- 27:09Speaker 1: playing guitar, and you've been working ever since. We had
- 27:13Speaker 1: this work ethic. But Ted, any day of the week
- 27:15Speaker 1: on the news, we can see a teen takeover in Chicago,
- 27:19Speaker 1: in Detroit, in DC, ruining places, throwing chairs at the Chipotle,
- 27:24Speaker 1: attacking people because they're wearing the wrong jersey. What happened
- 27:28Speaker 1: to a work ethic where we were young, even preteens,
- 27:31Speaker 1: out there trying to make a buck cause we had
- 27:33Speaker 1: a future that we were looking at. What caused this today?
- 27:35Speaker 1: Is it bad parenting? Is it bad governance? Is it
- 27:38Speaker 1: bad teens? Why are we seeing this so much? Do
- 27:40Speaker 1: you think it's all.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Of the above? And that is a real heartbreak, a
- 27:44Speaker 2: real tragedy. It's a manifestation of a cultural abandonment, and
- 27:48Speaker 2: the parents are to blame. But at some point a
- 27:52Speaker 2: human being has a spirit and has a soul and
- 27:55Speaker 2: will look in the mirror because when you look in
- 27:58Speaker 2: the mirror, that's that's the guy who's responsible for all
- 28:02Speaker 2: your conditions in life. If you're having a hard time,
- 28:05Speaker 2: the guy in the mirror did that. So at some point,
- 28:08Speaker 2: even though your parents have abandoned you and let you
- 28:11Speaker 2: get away with murder and destroying things and being a
- 28:14Speaker 2: complete punk, at some point the spirit and brain has
- 28:19Speaker 2: to click on and go, you know, I should probably
- 28:22Speaker 2: do good. I should probably start stop being evil and
- 28:26Speaker 2: negative and destroying stuff. I should probably start taking better
- 28:30Speaker 2: care of myself and being responsible, but that's gone the
- 28:33Speaker 2: way of the Dodo bird, and that is one of
- 28:35Speaker 2: the great tragedies in America. Those monster kids and those
- 28:39Speaker 2: people destroying airports and McDonald's and doing what they do.
- 28:44Speaker 2: They should be put in a cage and hose down
- 28:47Speaker 2: until they wake up and quit that nasty law breaking behavior.
- 28:52Speaker 2: That is a real curse in America. And as we
- 28:54Speaker 2: get people from around the world coming to these sporting
- 28:57Speaker 2: events and coming to America and realizing that Americans don't
- 29:01Speaker 2: hate America. Just liberals hate America. Only democrats hate America.
- 29:06Speaker 2: And they've brainwashed a segment of society to just be
- 29:10Speaker 2: the worst that they can be. And remember when we
- 29:13Speaker 2: first started talking many years ago, and on this interview,
- 29:17Speaker 2: I improvise a daft and overcome. I'm having the greatest
- 29:20Speaker 2: year of my life. It's going to be the worst
- 29:21Speaker 2: for my enemies, but it's going to be the greatest
- 29:23Speaker 2: life for my nugent family, my friends, my band, my team,
- 29:27Speaker 2: my hunting buddies, because we take responsibility and when we
- 29:32Speaker 2: see our fellow Americans trashing cities and raping and pillaging
- 29:37Speaker 2: and carjacking and stabbing and robbing and just destroying property.
- 29:42Speaker 2: It breaks our hearts. So some law enforcement starts cracking
- 29:48Speaker 2: some skulls, start stopping these people from doing these because
- 29:53Speaker 2: the taxpayers have to clean up their mess. And that
- 29:56Speaker 2: is so anti American in the two hundred and fiftieth anniverse.
- 30:00Speaker 2: We got to stop this from stop it now.
- 30:02Speaker 1: You know, we've got people like Brendan Johnson, who's the
- 30:04Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago, saying things like they just need a
- 30:06Speaker 1: place to gather, they just don't have enough to do. No,
- 30:08Speaker 1: I didn't need a place to gather. I needed a
- 30:10Speaker 1: place to go and figure out what my future was
- 30:11Speaker 1: going to be. But then again, I had a mother
- 30:13Speaker 1: who if she gave me the withering look, I was
- 30:15Speaker 1: scared to death. Like I had a father who I've
- 30:17Speaker 1: even looked my way I was running. So I mean,
- 30:20Speaker 1: we were kept in check and we learned values early on.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Can we save a generation that things taken over the
- 30:26Speaker 1: mall is the right thing to do?
- 30:28Speaker 2: Joe, I don't know, it's so out of hand. But
- 30:31Speaker 2: once again, you've met my son, Toby, my son, Roka
- 30:33Speaker 2: my son fleets Dasha, Heather Chantelle. I have thirteen grandkids.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Now I got a new grandson, River Wolf, Nugent, Nice Lindusk.
- 30:44Speaker 2: You have to be accountable and actions have consequences, and
- 30:51Speaker 2: the abandonment of parenting, the abandonment of fatherhood, the abandonment
- 30:57Speaker 2: of goodwill and decency that runs amos. I have a
- 31:00Speaker 2: song called My Bow and Arrow, where the second verse
- 31:03Speaker 2: is I grew up into a world and I started
- 31:05Speaker 2: feeling strange. I saw the cities kill their souls, and
- 31:10Speaker 2: I started and so I grabbed my bow and arrow
- 31:13Speaker 2: and go down to the woods. We need to get
- 31:15Speaker 2: back to down to earth accountability. You will never be
- 31:18Speaker 2: happy if you don't produce. You can't go to bed
- 31:22Speaker 2: happy if you're not being productive, and you have a
- 31:25Speaker 2: vapor trail of positive. If you've got destruction, you are
- 31:29Speaker 2: a sad, soulless, heartless, bad human being. And the person
- 31:34Speaker 2: in the mirror is responsible. So I know we have
- 31:37Speaker 2: the right commander in chief. Now I know we have
- 31:40Speaker 2: an upgrade taken place in the United States of American government.
- 31:44Speaker 2: The bureaucracies can't be trusted, but we're on our way
- 31:46Speaker 2: to a better day. I'm hoping that the celebration of
- 31:50Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years of the only experiment and
- 31:53Speaker 2: self government the history of the world will wake people up.
- 31:56Speaker 2: And there's so many great black leaders out there. I
- 31:59Speaker 2: mean Alan West and Sage and Kevin Cork and Jason,
- 32:07Speaker 2: so many great black leaders. They've got to get organized
- 32:11Speaker 2: and tell these blacks to stop destroying each other shooting instead.
- 32:16Speaker 2: What was there over one hundred shootings in Chicago's gun
- 32:19Speaker 2: free zone over the weekend, Something like a dozen killed
- 32:22Speaker 2: the people in the mirror did that? And nobody's raising
- 32:27Speaker 2: enough hell. I'd like to raise some hell. I wish
- 32:29Speaker 2: I could help. And I have a real America Voice
- 32:31Speaker 2: Spirit Campfire podcast, and I raise as much hell as
- 32:34Speaker 2: I can. You're doing a great job. There's so many
- 32:37Speaker 2: great voices out there. But we can't go downtown and
- 32:40Speaker 2: start beating people up. But somebody, mom and dad better
- 32:44Speaker 2: start beating people up. And if kids are destroying property,
- 32:47Speaker 2: make them pay for it. That's the only hope to
- 32:51Speaker 2: bring America back to this great, shining city on a hill.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Did I just quote Reagan? I think I quoted Reagan.
- 32:56Speaker 1: I think you did. It was a great quote. And
- 32:57Speaker 1: by the way, it is important that that figures in
- 33:01Speaker 1: this country come out and do that because these team
- 33:03Speaker 1: takeovers are all young black people who are doing me no. Well, no,
- 33:08Speaker 1: they probably won't. But Ben Carson, you got Wesley Hunt,
- 33:12Speaker 1: I mean, and the members that you just named as well.
- 33:14Speaker 1: These are all great people that should be listened to.
- 33:17Speaker 1: And I think that we can bring this thing back.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Let me finish it here, Ted, I want to finish
- 33:20Speaker 1: it on the the status of masculinity in America. I
- 33:24Speaker 1: think under Obama we saw a very feminine man as
- 33:28Speaker 1: the President of the United States. I don't even hesitate
- 33:30Speaker 1: to say that he just is. And we had this
- 33:32Speaker 1: push that masculinity was bad, that patriarchy was bad. But
- 33:36Speaker 1: what you just talked about, what you and I have
- 33:38Speaker 1: been talking about for the past half an hour, is
- 33:40Speaker 1: that you do need a patriarch. You do need a
- 33:42Speaker 1: strong male figure to make sure that everybody stays in
- 33:45Speaker 1: the straight and narrow. Are we back? I feel like
- 33:47Speaker 1: we're back, But are we well?
- 33:50Speaker 2: I I struggle with effervescent masculinity myself. I'm such a man.
- 33:56Speaker 2: I can hardly stand myself. I have two guns, now knives.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I'm surrounded by about billion rounds of AMMO. I got
- 34:03Speaker 2: over ten thousand horsepower. I got a truck over there
- 34:06Speaker 2: that only gets nine hundred yards to the gallon. I'm
- 34:09Speaker 2: such a man. I stand no and my son's But
- 34:12Speaker 2: you know what, My daughters are tough. My daughters are hunters.
- 34:15Speaker 2: My daughters have a garden. My daughters get their hands dirty.
- 34:18Speaker 2: My grandkids get their hands dirty. My grandkids catch fish
- 34:22Speaker 2: and turn them into family sized portions. We eat squirrel,
- 34:25Speaker 2: we plant trees. We work hard, We get dirty every day.
- 34:29Speaker 2: And once again, Ted Nugent's life is surrounded by those
- 34:33Speaker 2: kinds of rugged individuals that are not afraid to do anything,
- 34:37Speaker 2: not afraid to get dirty and get down and fix
- 34:40Speaker 2: stuff and repair stuff. And it's alive and well. But
- 34:43Speaker 2: I see a lot of wocification, a lot of spinelessness,
- 34:47Speaker 2: a lot of soullessness out there. But Joe, I think
- 34:49Speaker 2: you've nailed it. I think the patriarch, the man of
- 34:53Speaker 2: the household, the protector, the provider. A woman can do
- 34:56Speaker 2: most of that, and women can do what we can't do.
- 35:00Speaker 2: But a man's got to stand strong, take good care
- 35:02Speaker 2: of himself. I look at life as a building, and
- 35:06Speaker 2: if it catches on fire, as a man, I'm gonna
- 35:09Speaker 2: save everybody's life. In that building, I'm pant and like
- 35:13Speaker 2: those heroes on nine to eleven, I will run up
- 35:15Speaker 2: those stairs into the fire to save innocent people. And
- 35:19Speaker 2: that describes every man. I know, my ban my crew,
- 35:23Speaker 2: my management, my sons, my grandsons, and the women in
- 35:26Speaker 2: my life. The women in my life kick ass. The
- 35:30Speaker 2: women in my life would kick every Barack Obama's ass
- 35:34Speaker 2: that exists out. So I'm proud of that.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Well, it's the same for the women. I've got five daughters,
- 35:39Speaker 1: as you know, I've got two granddaughters and a grand son,
- 35:42Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I mean, we're building a stronger society.
- 35:45Speaker 1: You build a strong society through strong men. And that
- 35:47Speaker 1: doesn't mean that women don't have to be strong. Like
- 35:49Speaker 1: you said, they could do things that we can't ever
- 35:51Speaker 1: even imagine doing. But with that a strong male figure,
- 35:54Speaker 1: it's sort of that guiding light and that compass in society.
- 35:57Speaker 1: We're going to be lost, and we were lost for
- 35:59Speaker 1: eight years under Obama. I believe that. And we're still
- 36:01Speaker 1: trying to weed out the idea that masculinity is somehow toxic,
- 36:05Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. Ted Nugent dot Com go there right now.
