00:00:21.140 very special guest coming up on this what is this the fourth i think or fifth episode of

00:00:26.520 the anchorman podcast uh quick programming note for tonight's podcast though mr matt gates is in

00:00:32.800 the swamp all week long doing some great investigating for our network oan the one

00:00:37.660 american news network so matt couldn't join us tonight so we brought back somebody that you saw

00:00:41.780 on last friday's episode our newest anchorman if you will to the oan primetime lineup riley lewis

00:00:48.400 the real story host how you doing riley very good how are you dan well i appreciate you uh sitting

00:00:59.640 member here at oan with matt and i uh you're before my show matt's right after my show but we learned

00:01:04.840 something about mr riley lewis on last week's episode and that is besides wanting to become

00:01:10.980 the next rush limbaugh which you're working on now you got your dream come true at 26 years old

00:01:16.020 you became a prime time host of your own political conservative talk show you're also a huge music

00:01:22.420 buff oh yes sir a lifelong passion of mine if i wasn't doing this i'd be doing something with

00:01:26.780 music did you tell matt and i last week that you were in your first band in like middle school or

00:01:32.240 freshman in high school or something like that yeah high school okay yeah so music has been your life

00:01:36.440 next to television yes they kind of blend yeah that's right it's a good thing to put together

00:01:40.700 so when matt informed me he couldn't get out of the swamp in time for this podcast this friday

00:01:46.140 i was like riley i think you might be excited about our special guest tonight and i figured that

00:01:52.480 because matt wasn't here and he's the fire brand that we needed somebody that was a bit oh maybe even

00:01:58.540 more fiery than matt gates or myself and since our theme song is stranglehold by a guy that i

00:02:06.440 affectionately call uncle ted you know him you love him ted nugent i thought well let's give uncle ted a

00:02:12.620 call see if he wants to come on and chit chat on the show for like an hour um and also we can thank

00:02:18.420 him for graciously allowing us to use that amazing song which i heard and you can correct me if i'm

00:02:23.780 wrong and i'm sure he will when we bring him on here in a sec did that song is it celebrating its 50th

00:02:28.260 anniversary this year yes uh still timeless still amazing still rocking people all over the world but

00:02:33.580 it's hard to believe it's been 50 years so wait a minute that means i'm going to be 51 this year

00:02:38.420 because i think i was like one or something or two when that song came out and my brothers and my

00:02:44.340 dad we were rocking to strangled that's why when i knew we were going to get it as our theme song for

00:02:49.780 this show i was so pumped and so let's just not waste any more time with the show yeah should we

00:02:54.180 just get to it let's do it so iconic rocker uh amazing hunter um patriot also known as the motor

00:03:04.100 city madmen that's right the nuge the nuge uncle ted ted nugent joining the anchorman podcast there he 0.98

00:03:11.560 is uncle ted welcome brother i feel welcome riley you deserve me because if dan ball has determined

00:03:18.240 that you're a truth logic common sense guy that actually loves real american soul music then we're

00:03:23.420 going to have a fine time tonight dan thanks for having me on i appreciate it man uncle ted we

00:03:27.480 appreciate it it's going to be a fun uh hour or so so let's get right to it uh for our viewers

00:03:32.840 listeners and for riley we asked this of him when he told us he had a huge music background

00:03:37.420 that took me about 10 seconds to explain because i do not no one wants me to play an instrument

00:03:42.320 or sing it's never going to happen my wife payton will tell you no i want to know how uncle ted got

00:03:48.800 his start because when i was looking up your background to find out things i didn't know

00:03:52.680 you got started in like 63 in some band that amboy dukes or amboy is that what the band was called

00:03:59.160 back in the day tell us that yeah well i'll tell you i was born in 1948 right after les paul

00:04:04.280 electrified the guitar to cleanse our souls and chuck berry and beau diddley and little richard

00:04:09.520 and jerry lee lewis and i was born in detroit so i had this unbelievable powerful soulful music

00:04:15.080 authority of motown surrounding me along with fred bears bow and arrow and my dad taking me up north

00:04:20.460 every year to be a martial arts backstrapper uh the bottom line is i had a band we're celebrating 50

00:04:26.600 years of stranglehold but we're celebrating 68 years when i first started performing in detroit

00:04:32.220 riley said he started in high school i started when i was like seven or eight years old playing my guitar

00:04:37.280 and i played at the michigan now state fairgrounds when i was 10 years old so i've been doing this a

00:04:41.960 long time and i'm still craving the next lift i got the best musicians at my side the best audience

00:04:49.600 that love real music they pay attention to the work ethic virtuosity of my soulmates my bandmates

00:04:55.240 so it's 2025 we're celebrating 50 years of stranglehold which by the way there's a 50 year

00:05:01.000 stranglehold commemorative t-shirt at ted nugent.com and people love to stand up for what they believe

00:05:06.320 in and stranglehold is the theme song for that which is why you use it yes i mean it just fit right i

00:05:12.180 remember talking to you when we were talking about launching this show with matt and we were trying to

00:05:16.580 find a song and first obviously came up with the name the graphics whatever and we're like okay matt and i

00:05:23.060 live in san diego we're technically talk show hosts but anchorman sounds about right right yeah and

00:05:28.900 then i'm like okay well people associate that with the movie which was set in the 70s even though we

00:05:32.560 weren't we're not doing that we're not trying to go after the movie we're just like we're anchorman

00:05:36.360 and if you go with that 70s theme then obviously i know it you weren't born yet but i'm like that

00:05:43.220 song just clicks that opening riff we gotta use it and so ted god bless you god bless you god bless you

00:05:50.220 for giving us permission to use it because we love it i think it's an awesome way to kick the show off

00:05:55.380 every week um and this show wouldn't be the show without it and i hear some freedom loving barking

00:06:00.620 back there from ted yeah whenever you mention stranglehold my dogs get excited because they know

00:06:05.580 that's the theme song when i bring dead stuff back to the camp well look here ted if i may so

00:06:11.060 looking through your catalog including your most recent album detroit muscle it's it's just one

00:06:15.360 timeless riff after another wango tango stormtrooper stranglehold cat scratch fever dog eat dog

00:06:21.600 paralyzed it just goes on and on so where does the does the music just come to you i mean how does that

00:06:26.340 happen riley i'm always surrounded by piss and vinegar and attitude spirit and i had a bumper crop of

00:06:34.760 middle fingers again this year so there's no there's a whole lot of freedom demanding in the

00:06:38.980 nugent tribe and i've always got guitars and amps i'm surrounded by guitars and amps right now this

00:06:43.760 is a custom gibson birdland that was given to me by my manager doug banker and toby keith for my 60th

00:06:50.500 birthday a long time ago but it has a life of its own it feeds back it has a very low threshold of

00:06:57.520 making really outrageous sexy noises and i was turned on to that in 1962 opening up for billy lee and the

00:07:03.560 rivieras and martha and the vandellas so i was bombarded with the inspiration of chuck berry and

00:07:09.840 bo diddley and little richard and such musical authority and groove and spirit and and piss and

00:07:16.940 vinegar so every day i'm not kidding every day i train with my guns and i hunt varmints and critters

00:07:24.440 with my dogs every day of my life i run a trap line i do outdoor ranching farming stuff and every day

00:07:30.380 when i get in with still dirt remember the gladiator before we got into battle he would get a little

00:07:35.400 bit of dirt in his hand that's down to earth grounded well when i plug in my birdland even at the old age

00:07:41.800 of 76 it's like the 10 year old ted it starts making noise and my hands go to a variation of a chuck

00:07:49.980 berry or a motown grunting grinding soulful rhythmical centrally stimulating rhythm and those licks they

00:07:57.960 i don't write songs i have never had a piece of paper and a pen in front of me i just let these

00:08:04.000 licks happen and they have a cadence they they inspire a lyricism and a vision whether it's great

00:08:10.160 white buffalo or our favorite love song wang dang sweet poontang no matter what the riff is

00:08:15.640 there's an organic instinctual um pursuit of lyrics and theme that go with the grinding rhythm so once

00:08:24.500 again i attribute it to my bandmates when i unleash these licks to my bandmates when they come pounding

00:08:29.980 in with bass and drums it's it's literally out of body our feet don't touch the ground i played the

00:08:36.100 national anthem at mar-a-lago on tuesday and because of the way i play it with that rhythmical grind of my

00:08:42.540 right hand that you hear in the opening of stranglehold and all my licks um it's you can't escape it

00:08:48.660 unless you're uh unless you're neutered or a democrat which is the same thing we'll get into

00:08:55.100 politics in a minute uncle ted hold on they're just they're absolutely spontaneous without any thought

00:09:02.800 like the martial arts guy says too many minds i don't think about it i don't plan it i don't have a

00:09:09.600 vision or a key or a rhythm or a tempo in mind i just get in from doing outdoor spirit of the wild

00:09:15.520 lifestyle and and funk happens it it the grind just comes out i'm a lucky luck i've been clean and

00:09:22.560 sober for 76 years so i'm i'm easily stimulated because everything still works pretty good yeah think

00:09:29.020 about that folks how many rock and roll stories have we heard of rockers over the decades unfortunately

00:09:35.460 falling prey to alcohol and pills and drugs and uncle ted his drug is the music and his patriotism

00:09:43.500 riley when you were in bands and you're still in one today right you told me

00:09:46.720 can you do it like uncle ted do you put pen to paper or you're like him it just happens

00:09:51.340 like the magic happens i think that's it i think like you said it's with the bandmates the other

00:09:56.160 musicians you surround yourself everyone brings ideas to the table everyone has a lick or a riff

00:09:59.900 maybe it starts with the with the words and then that leads to music or the other way around but

00:10:03.320 i think surrounding yourself with other people that just ooze creativity all the time the ideas just

00:10:07.720 come to them and there's just a secret sauce that the inspiration strikes when it does it could happen

00:10:11.820 when you're in the shower in the morning on your way home driving from work whatever it is it's just

00:10:15.520 it's finding people that understand that that are on the same wavelength and frequency that can

00:10:19.580 help sort of pull that out of you as a musician putting those creative people around you yes and

00:10:25.160 uncle ted got that decades ago it kind of reminds me of a guy named uh who am i thinking of oh donald j

00:10:30.260 trump who always says you know yes smartest person in the room you put the smartest people in the room

00:10:34.980 around you like trump's doing with elon and doge and so since uncle ted brought up politics even though

00:10:40.700 we try to keep our show to pop culture and not dig too deep i knew i couldn't invite you on and not

00:10:45.520 go political so here we go uh uncle ted i missed you on tuesday i was supposed to be there uh just

00:10:51.320 scheduling and stuff couldn't happen but i saw a cast of characters show up to mar-a-lago and i think

00:10:56.880 we pulled a pic off of uh uncle ted's x page if you want to throw it up i saw a cast of characters

00:11:01.400 actor russell bram amazing fighter mike tyson um general michael flynn patriot donald j trump

00:11:11.500 oh and then yeah that guy named ted nugent holding baseball bats at mar-a-lago having a hell of a good

00:11:20.480 time this week i'm so upset i missed that party ted please fill me in on what i missed

00:11:25.720 well you know you talk about politics and bring up politics everything comes from politics politics

00:11:33.820 in america is the experiment in self-government which means that all responsible accountable

00:11:39.560 participating americans should continue to experiment in self-government based on the

00:11:45.220 the divine intervention of the founding father's vision of we the people guiding our life instead

00:11:50.240 of kings and emperors and and tyrants and furors and and marxists and slave drivers so i figured 0.98

00:11:57.540 that out even though i was a victim of the american anti-education system i learned really quickly when

00:12:02.460 i got i was contacted by heroes coming home from vietnam and my dad was a sergeant in world war ii in

00:12:09.440 korea and they never talked about it but when the guys came home from vietnam they would hear my radio

00:12:15.320 interviews celebrating the second amendment and talking about shooting aim small miss small the

00:12:19.680 firearms marksmanship discipline and and and raving about how the mystical flight of the arrow is not

00:12:27.320 just an arrow to get dinner and to be accurate and disciplined but the flight of the arrow is your

00:12:33.580 life and god gave us everything we need to control the path of your arrow slash life so i discovered

00:12:41.260 painfully um that the vietnam war was um illegal and immoral and manipulated and that we did

00:12:49.660 on the the bodies of 58 000 heroes and that uncle sam i was starting to figure out was a conniving

00:12:56.960 corrupt manipulative enemy of the founding father's vision whether it's the cia or all these alphabet

00:13:03.580 super organizations that have been better since the 70s let's be real well it got better on november

00:13:08.900 5th and so and so the reason i started raising hell and dan we've talked about this in the music

00:13:15.820 entertainment world they would attack me for carrying a gun and eating venison which happens to be the

00:13:21.620 two most perfect things a human can do self-defense and conservation so as they would attack me i'd go

00:13:28.980 well you've you've got to be kidding me so you don't think your life is worth defending plus you're

00:13:33.960 going to want to say that i'm not allowed to and you're going to eat chicken that eats its own feces 0.92

00:13:39.080 but you're going to criticize my squirrel souffle i mean i realized that the hippies and the people in

00:13:44.660 the entertainment the leftists and the democrats were completely brain dead so instead of getting

00:13:50.200 defensive i started having fun with it and so the music you've got to have a positive attitude no matter

00:13:57.120 what but if you're going to play music like i do the intensity the the the passion the uh the

00:14:03.100 uninhibited the defiance the irreverence the the sensual outrage then you got to be free and open

00:14:10.460 and uninhibited so i started raising hell for uh people running for office ultimately defined by the

00:14:18.080 great donald trump that represented real independent freedom and i guess i can summarize it like this when

00:14:23.800 somebody recently again said hey we got constitutional carry and i went to shut up i was born with

00:14:30.020 constitutional carry you can't introduce me to a man that can give me the right to keep and bear 0.94

00:14:35.060 arms i was born with that and i can keep and bear arms wherever i may roam while i'm alive on planet 0.99

00:14:42.040 earth so take your constitutional carry and shove it up your ass i already had that and no man can go by 1.00

00:14:48.600 the way i give you constitutional carry i eat so my point is is that i'm very passionate about my freedom 0.99

00:14:55.680 that happens to define my hunting ranching private property rights conservation trapping fishing self

00:15:02.100 defense and the fun of firearms activities and i was attacked for all those perfect things so i stood

00:15:09.280 strong and i crushed them every time in fact i discovered dan if you're going to arm wrestle ted

00:15:15.040 nugent you might want to bring an arm because they have they're helpless to debate me that's true 0.81

00:15:21.500 yeah you cannot debate this man which is why i i'm so glad i align with him like i have 12 new

00:15:27.800 questions now and everything he just said but riley i'll let you throw one at him because he threw so

00:15:32.100 much in there my mind's racing now and what i gotta ask him next so yeah so well dan's news just for a

00:15:36.480 moment here uh well here's the thing though it's a lot everything you're saying that the freedom the

00:15:40.240 rebelliousness the sort of primal instinct taking care of your own that it's it's that's at the core of

00:15:45.340 rock and roll music so what i don't understand as a lifelong rock and roll and blues fan

00:15:49.760 is to see so many modern rock groups become so pro-establishment thank you pro-tyranny we

00:15:54.720 discussed this completely neutered earlier i think that's such a good way to put it yeah how did we

00:15:59.420 get here where did they go because ted and old school rockers used to be anti-establishment and in 0.73

00:16:05.460 the last four years the biden harris regime all we saw was rockers and even country stars and actors

00:16:11.100 and all these people that used to be anti-establishment suck up to the establishment but

00:16:16.360 then you got uncle ted who's never done it so why do you think so many of these modern day rockers 0.99

00:16:21.400 now kiss ass to the establishment instead of kick it like you always have i'm gonna drive our enemies 0.99

00:16:27.120 completely batty once again because i'm gonna give you the answer why they became sheep and they bought 1.00

00:16:32.780 the lie of peer pressure because they got stoned and comfortably numb is actually uncomfortably dumb 0.99

00:16:41.260 and the more dope you smoke and the more you play in intoxicating games the more your brain 0.97

00:16:48.420 deteriorates and they went from being little richard defiant to being bruce springsteen compliant

00:16:55.240 and it's just embarrassing so and i've been and that's not just a hunch i was there keith moon made

00:17:03.120 fun of me because i wouldn't smoke his dope jimmy hendrix made fun of me because i wouldn't take his

00:17:06.820 acid bon scott made fun of me because i wouldn't drink his jan jack daniels john belushi tried to

00:17:11.720 make fun of me because i wouldn't snore his cocaine and meanwhile they got high they're dead i went

00:17:17.220 hunting i'm still ted any questions call 1-800-numbnut it that sounds too simple but the more you get high 0.93

00:17:25.360 the dumber you get and here here for the people that are high out there let me put it in your language

00:17:31.680 ted um well this is in the headlines in the last week uh and you and i brought this up uh before we 0.98

00:17:43.720 came onto the studio today and that's a show i used to love growing up saturday night live because it

00:17:49.980 used to be funny and it used to stick it to the man and they had their 50th anniversary show last

00:17:56.040 sunday they put up some skits that weren't so funny like the one with tom hanks making fun of mega

00:18:01.020 and then i remembered didn't uncle ted get into a little scuffle with snl a dozen years ago or so

00:18:07.380 when they were messing with my friend ted would you like to expand on snl and the shit back and 0.77

00:18:12.560 forth that was going on between you guys well once again uh god bless you know i i knock people to get

00:18:18.880 high and you have the right to do that i spent the weekend with uh with keith richards my musical hero

00:18:24.920 the literally still had a hand on the chuck berry baton he didn't just hand it off he still

00:18:29.880 chuck berry had a hand on one end of the baton and keith richards had his hand on the other so

00:18:34.640 they became my musical heroes and i don't think there's been a date keith richards has ever been

00:18:38.960 straight but he but i respect the man his work ethic and if you want to get high get high but you

00:18:45.080 will be a liability to your family if you're high you're not an asset if there's a fire in the house

00:18:51.220 instead of you helping someone out someone's going to have to help you out this is not conjecture these

00:18:57.780 are not opinions i've watched it my whole life and so when they were inviting me on these different

00:19:04.620 programs and the reason they debate whether i should be in the rock and roll hall of fame and i won't make

00:19:08.800 the case for me but that triumph and sticks and ario speed wagon are not in the rock and roll hall of

00:19:15.280 fame but grandmaster flash is this is too funny for words it's so offensive it's so it's so dishonest

00:19:23.660 they got abba and and and uh i don't even know madonna they got abba and madonna in the rock and

00:19:30.100 roll hall of fame but not ario speedway so i rest my case the point being is that whenever my name

00:19:36.920 came up the majority of the people in the entertainment industry go i hate that guy like 0.95

00:19:42.860 murders innocent animals and he thinks everybody should have a machine gun and shoot people that 0.96

00:19:47.680 that's that's dope talking that's literally so you're saying literally someone on their own 0.94

00:19:53.420 supply on snl way too much yes funny anymore but you have to admit because they used to be funny

00:19:58.300 they were john belushi what a gift but once again they were funny it's not funny when you're dead

00:20:07.440 and i i know these guys spent time they would have still been funnier i believe

00:20:13.680 funnier if they'd taken good care of themselves to remain respectful to their gifts from god

00:20:19.640 staying clean and sober so that all the brain things worked in unison and effectively we needed

00:20:25.360 a brain doge back then to make these stoners to be more efficient uh and so it broke my heart

00:20:32.220 and i've helped a lot when eddie van halen got out of rehab he called me right away and said that i

00:20:38.040 influenced him to get off the poison and off the the mind destroying chemical warfare he was

00:20:43.600 inflicting upon himself so i have a great relationship with people from every imaginable

00:20:49.800 point of view and lifestyle but i'm i'm having the time of my life and i think we can just all

00:20:55.800 take a deep breath and go you know ted nugent has not stumbled on a syllable yet

00:21:00.640 meanwhile interview ozzy or interview joe biden or interview some of these guys who can't form a

00:21:08.080 sentence and i'm alive and i thank god every day so i put my heart and soul into being his best

00:21:13.520 husband the best father the best grandfather the best interview the best patriot the best guitar

00:21:18.500 player the best trapper the best hunter the best gut pile guy i try to be the best that i can be

00:21:24.260 and you can't be the best unless you're clean and sober period how about that from uncle ted well

00:21:31.760 it's just interesting you say that because that like you said there's such a long documented history

00:21:35.180 of this especially in rock and roll music look at the 27 club look at jim morrison look at jim

00:21:39.580 hendrix it's it happens over and over and over again but so few rockers learn the lesson and that

00:21:44.520 applies to so many other entertainers too uh chris farley being one a great snl guy so people would

00:21:49.980 learn eventually after watching enough of these guys tragically od that hey maybe that's bad news

00:21:55.180 and we should just stay away from but there's enablers all around them that's the thing you get

00:21:58.620 into the music industry and ted knows this you get into uh even the sports world you definitely get

00:22:02.660 into the acting world and the people around you your agents your talent scouts your publicist your 0.91

00:22:08.200 personal assistant your damn personal chef all of them nobody tells these people no hey maybe that 0.99

00:22:14.180 fifth line or 25th line of cocaine tonight is a bad idea maybe that 38th beer before you drive your 0.99

00:22:20.820 lamborghini or porsche is a bad idea but nobody's gonna tell a celebrity that right ted can't tell them

00:22:25.960 that they're celebrities yeah it's unbelievable when i you know when i got an award after selling out a

00:22:31.340 couple nights at madison square garden with ac diesel acdc opening up for me we had a big banquet

00:22:36.260 with uh bill graham the world's greatest rock and roll promoter and we went to club studio 54 i went

00:22:42.960 with keith richards i had a walther ppk on me and he just stuck to me like glue he wanted to be around

00:22:48.760 a guy with a gun um what a great story that is but anyhow i wanted to talk to him about his chuck

00:22:55.260 berry love affair i wanted to talk to him why the stones had motown bow diddley little richard

00:23:01.320 and chuck berry songs which i was in that same whirlwind i wanted to have a conversation with

00:23:07.200 him but he couldn't have a conversation i wanted to talk to bond scott i wanted to have a conversation

00:23:13.480 because i'm a funny guy and i'd like to talk to john belushi about having fun and being fun but you

00:23:18.960 can't talk to these guys now i talked to sam kinnison who was a hopeless chemical warfare guy

00:23:24.400 and i influenced sam to get clean and sober and then tragically he got hit by a drunk driver

00:23:29.580 on his way to a gig i think yes it was outside of uh palm springs where i used to live i remember

00:23:34.140 that story you talked about awards and i know riley you and i were discussing the grammys

00:23:38.020 and we were discussing beyonce and other people in different genres and we wanted to get uncle

00:23:43.780 ted's take kind of on how the music industry how the grammys are handed out how these people are

00:23:48.620 flipping genres and making money or not making money and how all that has changed the evolution

00:23:53.340 right of music the awards scene and all that it's a lot different than when uncle ted you were

00:23:59.000 rocking it 70s 80s and even 90s it's changed quite a bit in the last 20 years i want to get your take

00:24:03.900 on that well and again the music as riley has expressed and you you celebrate dan and everybody

00:24:10.380 does music is the sonic guiding soundtrack to the mile markers of our lives this this this special moment

00:24:19.340 there was a song attributed to that moment there was a musical relationship with that girl with

00:24:25.820 when why when you meet your wife when you my wife when your dog dies yep when when you when you welcome

00:24:31.500 a baby when you say goodbye to a loved one i mean there's music that coincides with the most human

00:24:36.980 motion emotions and time in our life the best of the best and and the most painful of the painful

00:24:43.020 true yes so i was discussing it with uh my buddy calvin ross lone star music we're doing these ted

00:24:49.680 nugent shit kicker speakeasies in texas and michigan this year i'm not going on tour because the dogs 0.96

00:24:54.800 won't let me spend the night anywhere except with them and so we do these michigan gigs where i can get 0.98

00:24:59.460 back to my cabin at night and do the texas ones where i can get back to my ranch and we're talking so

00:25:04.600 what's your favorite killer guitar driven band today there ain't any there isn't any i guess if

00:25:11.340 you think ain't none right love the fool fighters but they've been around for 30 years and they don't

00:25:15.900 have any guitar solos i mean they're supposed to be a crescendo i mean whether it's junior walker on 0.82

00:25:20.780 the sax or or eddie van halen on guitar or billy gibbons or or the great tommy shaw that there's a

00:25:27.740 crescendo when the guitar solo happens gone that's these poor these poor people right now

00:25:34.420 trying to think of new bands in the last five years let's just say yeah that rock out like ted

00:25:38.860 and the old rockers that i grew up with right listening to being 50 years old i can't think of

00:25:43.440 any like new bands no well i think that is a lot of a lot to do with the political landscape now i

00:25:47.580 think people are just so depressed and they're so just i don't know what it is but that sense of

00:25:51.380 rebellion and that primal freedom chasing after that again that's what every rock and roll group had in

00:25:56.280 common they were completely uninhibited and you just don't find that kind of spirit and and

00:26:00.900 restlessness well now they're created by the record labels and then they're auto-tuned and then they're

00:26:04.880 stuck out on these shows and some of them are lip-syncing any damn way and they don't have that 0.69

00:26:08.860 damn talent yes or they have songwriters for them that just write all their stuff it's like you used 0.96

00:26:12.720 to have bands we had people that came everyone in led zeppelin came to every studio session with a 0.99

00:26:17.080 clear set of ideas musically jimmy page has the music for stairway to heaven robert plant writes the

00:26:21.300 lyrics in one single sitting with them john bonham has the the groove every everyone is

00:26:26.020 contributing to that now you have these pop star sensations that have a whole team of writers and

00:26:30.380 songwriters and producers it's all digital they don't have to actually create in order to become

00:26:34.760 a creative icon it's a problem i want to know who ted's inspirations you mentioned a few of the

00:26:40.220 older ones are no longer with us but who today that's still out there playing rocking whether it's

00:26:45.860 country rock whatever genre but who do you think today is still doing a great job like one of my

00:26:51.340 favorites is a rocker turned country star because i think he's amazing at writing and singing and

00:26:57.680 that's my buddy aaron lewis i love aaron so i want to hear uncle ted's monster right thank you i think

00:27:03.300 he's one of the beasts today who else he's a dear friend of mine he's i know he said we should all go

00:27:07.940 hunting ted you me and aaron let's go but who's telling three of the guys that you like well first

00:27:14.140 of all we should celebrate in 2025 as we uh get teary-eyed that there's no new bands coming on

00:27:20.280 that really kick our ass the sticks and ario well it's kevin cronin now but ario speed wagon music 0.87

00:27:25.760 sammy hager's out there billy gibbons is easy top is still out there um they're still great great 0.89

00:27:31.200 classic rockers that are still absolutely on fire even for being old men i i know that tommy shaw and

00:27:37.940 his band sticks are still playing as if it was 1975 they still got the fire and the passion the

00:27:43.440 piston vinegar and the reverence for their chuck berry little richard soulful black musical authority

00:27:50.840 influences so i can't i cannot list all the black heroes that all the bands i just mentioned i talked

00:27:57.380 to sammy hager we we know that we would not be musicians if it wasn't for james brown just something

00:28:02.760 happens when the hardest working man in music who delivered such inescapable groove and grind and

00:28:09.900 tightness and musical adventure and movements this just an etude of music outrage and that and that

00:28:16.480 goes back to the kinks and the who and certainly stones and the beetle and the dave clark five um 0.98

00:28:21.900 and zeppelin eventually of course but that influence is still alive and well my band the ted nugent band

00:28:28.640 with jason heartless and johnny biggan here in texas with john kutz we get up there and i'm telling you 0.99

00:28:33.580 it's like a bunch of horny teenagers that can't wait to grab that cheerleader's ass we just can't wait 1.00

00:28:39.360 to play stranglehold we can't wait to play cat scratch fever it's such a grind and then the girls 1.00

00:28:44.740 all of a sudden elevate and you go i'm even further inspired now so so that you talk about primal scream

00:28:52.300 primal authority the primal uh groove that is still the grinding motivation for all of your favorite music

00:29:02.500 if there's we're still out there playing even though i'm 76 i should be limping especially with

00:29:08.940 these fake knees i got um the point is is that the stuff that turns you on is still available and people

00:29:14.940 should get out there and see them every chance they get awesome you know what turns me on besides that

00:29:19.280 when uncle ted talks about hunting i grew up in northwest ohio only about an hour and 40 minutes

00:29:25.760 from d town uncle ted so i know detroit very well i'm a red wings fan just like you even though i'm a

00:29:32.500 buckeye i grew up at five years old a mile man putting a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun in my hand

00:29:37.940 my first gun was a breakdown single shot 410 and we've been out hunting squirrels and coons and deer

00:29:45.640 and you name it since i was a little kid and something that ted and i've talked about on the talk show

00:29:50.720 that i wanted to expand here on the podcast is his love for conservation because too many people out

00:29:57.380 there on the left and even some i would say in the right don't understand the importance of hunters

00:30:03.680 yes because if we're not out there thinning the herd and i'll let uncle ted take it from here

00:30:08.960 you would have people die not people pardon me animals critters dying of disease starvation it would

00:30:14.380 be horrible they would be in way worse shape than they are if we weren't out there thinning the herd plus

00:30:19.560 as ted said some of that stuff tastes damn good uncle ted well one of the reasons shemaine and i are

00:30:26.280 so healthy and we started make america healthy again a long time ago we've been married for 36 years and

00:30:31.040 we started raving about the the obscene demonic chemical warfare is perpetrated upon american citizens

00:30:37.780 by the fda and the usda and the who and the cdc and the uncle sam gangsters man santo and big pharma it's

00:30:45.040 just an absolute horror story what americans are being put through because of uncle sam's chemical

00:30:51.260 warfare upon us however i have been raised on venison and squirrel and ducks and geese and quail and

00:30:58.400 woodcock and grouse and doves and and and and woodchucks i eat woodchucks like a little cow i think

00:31:05.840 the cuter the critter the sweeter the meat the point is is that woodchucks yeah no you got to do it

00:31:12.000 hunt what do they eat they eat clover and grass really same as a good cow groundhog i've had all

00:31:17.320 the others you mentioned yes you know growing up in a small farming town you get the squirrel gravy

00:31:21.680 on top of the rabbit legs with the mashed potatoes and it's good yeah really but groundhog

00:31:28.380 i haven't done that one big squirrel they're delicious anyhow but you got to handle it right

00:31:34.160 just like you have to handle all game properly but yeah the bottom line is the irrefutable science

00:31:39.260 truth is thank you that hunters have brought back more deer more cougar more bear more geese more turkey

00:31:46.480 than ever in recorded history because not only have we safeguarded the habitat critical to the survival

00:31:53.680 and expansion of those species but by harvesting the surplus every year we generate trillions of

00:32:00.400 dollars to manage wildlife based on the true science of sustained yield habitat carrying capacity

00:32:07.380 winter severity index and to mitigate the slaughter on the highways which is still out of control because

00:32:13.860 we err on the side of caution but it's not rocket science it's science science and if you're against

00:32:20.900 hunting and you influence game departments those animals will not be saved your tax dollars will

00:32:27.060 hire some usda guy to go in and clean up the mess that we weren't allowed to manage and they will kill

00:32:34.700 the animals after they get sick after they get diseased after they kill people not just killing animals on

00:32:40.600 the highway we kill hundreds of people a year with wildlife vehicle collisions right so i'm on a war path to

00:32:48.580 get game departments to be honest about science-based game management here in texas the texas parks and

00:32:54.400 wildlife there's some bad bad dishonest people they're anti-hunters michigan department of natural

00:32:59.520 resources illinois department of natural resources wisconsin resources the pennsylvania game commission

00:33:04.400 connecticut these are animal rights hunter haters right nature haters and we have to figure enough game

00:33:13.240 to make room for next year's production you they're not going to survive during the winter that's why

00:33:18.960 it's called the death of winter so we manage and harvest a surplus the hunters for the hungry program

00:33:25.920 distributes 250 million quality nutritious natural organic meals of venison every year across this

00:33:34.860 country 250 million i know you do that personally right hunters when you have your hunts if you guys

00:33:41.200 can't uh eat everything because i know you you people hire uncle ted they go out on hunts either at the

00:33:46.720 ranch up in detroit uh outside of detroit rather or down in texas and if you guys don't eat all your

00:33:51.060 meat i've seen you post before you were always donating to the hungry i think that's amazing and so 0.97

00:33:55.540 hunters get this horrible rap that we're just killers of little bambi that's bullshit it drives me crazy

00:34:02.860 you were talking about the science of it and you know how these podcasts go uncle ted we got to pay 0.97

00:34:07.340 the bills so bear with me for a minute because speaking of science we got to pay the bills real

00:34:11.220 quick and thank our friends health care should be simple right not a constant battle with red tape

00:35:32.580 not the government's and big thank you to all family for sponsoring the anchorman podcast now back

00:35:38.280 to uncle ted and we'll talk some more hunting uh because that's one of the main reasons besides the

00:35:43.400 music was the hunting that i wanted to get him on and you know that we were talking about ahead of time

00:35:47.300 uh you're not a big hunter you're the music guy i don't think matt is i've been hunting since i was

00:35:51.300 a kid here he goes he's gonna get the bow and arrow boom and so i do appreciate this though about it

00:35:57.180 because you're living off of the land and you're eating food that was made by god not by man all of

00:36:01.800 the junk and highly processed food going around it's making people sick so even seeing that with the bow

00:36:05.960 it just connects you to nature you're actually providing food for people that is nutritious that has

00:36:10.860 real value for them as opposed to the kind of junk food that so many people live on and it makes them

00:36:15.600 sick and ultimately it kills them it takes their life prematurely well bobby kennedy's gonna clean

00:36:20.120 that up and i bet ted's a fan of bobby's now that he's in with trump and gonna clean up hhs to look 0.98

00:36:25.700 at what's in the food in the water and in the damn vaccines right ted yeah but robert kennedy jr is a

00:36:31.640 visionary when it comes to being healthy because uh once again the fda and the usda people remember 0.99

00:36:37.920 this they're waging chemical warfare on americans the poison the trash the garbage the chemicals 0.83

00:36:45.440 in all the food out there almost all the food produced in america is against the law in all

00:36:51.900 other countries and we're supposed to be the best country in our government the fda does not protect

00:36:57.660 the quality and healthiness of our food and drugs there they make sure because it's the same man santo

00:37:03.360 chemical warfare monsters that now run these governmental agencies but the bottom line is

00:37:09.140 i gotta tell you yes the venison is the ultimate rocket fuel for the soul it really makes you healthy

00:37:14.660 and elk it's the it's the best there is and it's so simple to prepare properly everybody i turn on to

00:37:19.800 wild boar or venison or pheasant or ducks or geese they taste it and they go this is incredible

00:37:25.540 because they actually have taste but more important riley is the higher level of awareness especially with

00:37:32.440 the bow and arrow because it is a martial arts the higher level of awareness awareness absolutely

00:37:38.480 essential to bring venison home is so good for you because you pay attention to the accountability of

00:37:46.240 each step you take on the hunt because if you take it conscientiously and accountably god will reward you

00:37:54.260 with getting close to game and if you have put your heart and soul into being an efficient archer or marksman

00:37:59.960 then that gift of sustenance will be the reward for that dedication hunting is very difficult it's

00:38:07.540 with a bow and arrow it's almost impossible you got to be so stealthy you got to be so tuned in you got

00:38:14.580 to really be able to make the shot in the presence of the beast that was designed not to let you do that

00:38:20.860 and i've been doing this since i could walk following my dad and fred bear and the people that we've turned

00:38:26.440 down with our ted nugent camp for kids it's a non-profit 501c volunteer charity for 36 years

00:38:32.360 we have kids we taught about archery and marksmanship and safe gun handling and being clean and sober

00:38:38.180 and turning precious wildlife into family size portions those kids from 20 30 years ago are now

00:38:45.460 bringing their kids to the ted nugent camp for kids and we're literally saving these young americans lives

00:38:51.500 from the alternative outrage that's out there so people should go to ted nugent.com and see what

00:38:57.200 we're doing with the ted nugent camp for kids it's literally teaching people that hunting fishing and

00:39:02.640 trapping is the most beneficial activity for environmental upgrade available to mankind if

00:39:10.260 you want clean air soil and water learn to hunt fish and trap because your money's going to go

00:39:16.000 to safeguard that habitat which produces clean air soil and water like duh amen so let's talk about

00:39:22.960 some of the animals and and the hunts that you do at the different properties if people want to sign up

00:39:27.300 and go on one of them i know obviously deer wild boar pheasant depending on season and depending on if

00:39:32.980 you're up detroit or you're down in texas but just fill them in on those hunts and what you do and what's

00:39:38.140 the difference too ted some people go on these hunts that are for yuppies where everything's all well 0.98

00:39:45.100 they are rightly they're yuppies they've never barely shot a gun in their damn lives all their 0.94

00:39:48.980 hunting gear looks all clean it's a brand new carhartt woke company anyway and they go out there 0.98

00:39:53.580 and it's all in just a couple acres and they're fenced in and they're farm raised animals and

00:39:57.260 they're feeding them versus if you're getting wild kind of like with fishing people you know if you go

00:40:01.460 buy something it says farm raised or caught in the wild i want uncle ted's opinion on that farm raised

00:40:07.700 stuff that wild caught those those uh ranches in texas and elsewhere where they got everything

00:40:13.360 combined and you're guaranteed to get something versus how uncle ted hunts and how we should be

00:40:18.080 hunting well it's fascinating uh how it all developed because whenever i would do an interview

00:40:23.440 about a tour or a new record or just raising hell about my love of rock and roll i i didn't

00:40:29.540 intentionally start talking about hunting but they'd ask me where i get my inspiration and i would tell

00:40:34.520 them about the spirit of the wild and that when i cleanse my soul from this outrageous sonic bombast of

00:40:41.040 my musical unleashing that the peace and the quiet of the outdoor especially with the bow and arrow

00:40:47.160 because you're not going to shoot much but you're going to learn much and so people started asking me

00:40:52.420 well how can i get into it that sounds exciting ted nugent really gets excited about this bow and arrows

00:40:56.500 and killing deer i'd like to try that so i started sunrise safaris she's almost over 55 years ago

00:41:03.060 and we started guiding and outfitting now we do hunt in michigan we have wild boar and we have

00:41:08.640 white-tailed deer okay and we have a lot of small game hunting and again you go to ted nugent.com you

00:41:14.100 can find out how to book it but we sell them out every year every week and i personally guide and

00:41:18.640 campfire and we track and gut and butcher it's it's really the most organic primal scream available to

00:41:25.200 mankind i don't think bon jovi does this but the point is is that that we hunt even on a high fence

00:41:31.360 operation if you wanted an easy deer to kill you would hunt a farm in in illinois next to a forest

00:41:37.660 preserve where you're not allowed to hunt and the deer are used to pick nickers and campers and

00:41:41.860 hikers and they're not afraid of man all the wildlife on my property are scared to death

00:41:47.360 they're so elusive they're afraid of their own shadow so it's it's a true challenge some animals

00:41:54.420 are a little bit more attuned than others but yeah we we hunt uh all august september october into

00:42:00.600 november in michigan every week and i guide hunters we sell out every year we just it's just the

00:42:05.080 greatest campfire the greatest people fun people smart successful cocky people that want to learn

00:42:12.200 about this incredible excitement of an outdoor hunting fishing trapping lifestyle and then we

00:42:18.000 do a birthday hunt and a new year's hunt here at our spirit wild ranch in texas and it's really

00:42:22.980 fascinating we have in texas you have all kinds of asian and african animals that are free ranging 1.00

00:42:29.240 from scimitar horn oryx to uh axis deer and fallow deer and psyched deer and all of that um sheep from

00:42:36.460 africa peat ranchers brought them in back in the 1930s and you never know what you're going to bump

00:42:42.180 into guys go opening day of deer season and shoot a zebra because there's a zebra loose on their

00:42:47.420 it's it's really and by the way zebra is delicious and don't get excited about shooting a zebra it's a

00:42:53.160 striped deer um and and so we we kill the surplus every year we have a limit we have a bag limit based

00:43:00.000 on the herd size and the habitat necessary to support that herd and we just have a great time

00:43:05.860 and i've turned i've turned lots and lots of people in combination with our spirit of the wild tv show on

00:43:11.560 the pursuit network and the most watched hunting show in the history of hunting shows we're on eight

00:43:16.560 times a week ted newton spirit of the wild on the pursuit network and what shemaine does with her real

00:43:21.640 america's voice uh faith and freedom she has become the most deadly bow hunter if shemaine grabs 1.00

00:43:27.280 her matthew's bow i sharpen my knife because something's gonna die um it's very exciting she's so

00:43:34.060 more deadly accurate than you with the bow i'm telling you she can out shoot me and and something 1.00

00:43:39.540 about i give off kind of a death ray where the deer scatter when i even think about going hunting

00:43:46.440 but something about shemaine she doesn't scare him away i will hunt 10 15 20

00:43:51.500 days before i get a shot shemaine gets a shot in the first hour of the first hunt there's something

00:43:58.880 electric going on here she's convinced i walked by a trailer hitch last week and got it pregnant 0.94

00:44:03.520 so there's something about my aura that causes the animals to run in fear but there's something

00:44:09.980 about shemaine's aura she literally is a buck attractor obviously she got the ultimate buck so 1.00

00:44:15.480 so there's a different level of challenge for everybody but with the bow and arrow it's so

00:44:20.840 difficult because you have to move you don't have to just take the safety off and squeeze the trigger

00:44:26.000 which doesn't take much movement but with the bow and arrow you've got to move in the presence of

00:44:31.840 the beast so you got to time it know when to move and your your conscience and your ethical barometer

00:44:39.020 drives us to be efficient to kill that game cleanly and the average deer i shoot over 100 deer a year

00:44:45.920 with my bow donate tons of venison to soup kitchens and homeless shelters they think i'm mother teresa

00:44:50.820 with a sharp stick um that that i kill so many deer that i make sure i only shoot when i know i'm going 0.89

00:44:58.000 to kill them right now and there's not a quicker more painless death in nature than a razor sharp broadhead

00:45:05.940 they die they don't even know they're hit most of the time when you dedicate yourself to proficiency 1.00

00:45:11.920 they literally will jump because it's like a razor cut it goes through them and they look around like

00:45:16.600 what was that and then they tip over it's really magic it's it's mystical yep i got i have no problem

00:45:22.740 with it i think that's mother nature and the way god intended and there is nothing wrong at all with

00:45:28.840 that no it's perfect and the thing that you're not wasting any of it either i mean everything gets used

00:45:33.000 absolutely whether it's the skin and the fur or anything else the meat donating it yourself

00:45:36.340 everything is getting used so it's completely there's no waste in that it's no it's the circle

00:45:40.280 of life that's a beautiful thing that animal gives its life for you so that we can have and we and

00:45:44.260 that's for sustenance it's not just junk food there's real value to that so there's a symbiotic

00:45:48.380 relationship there i think yeah and to spirit i love hearing about what uncle ted you do after the

00:45:55.280 hunt with the folks that purchase a ticket to go on one of these hunts you have these fireside

00:46:00.660 cookouts and chats right and you hang the people you and the wife make the game that day in different 0.98

00:46:06.040 dishes and you get to sit around the fireside with uncle ted and shoot the shit now who doesn't want 0.86

00:46:10.660 to do that i'm telling you my campfires are the best campfires and again i attribute it to the 0.99

00:46:16.280 quality of people that come people from every imaginable walk of life from all around the world

00:46:20.700 they want to see what makes this goofy guitar player tick and it is the spirit of the wild when you kill

00:46:26.660 your own game it is the physics of spirituality because that is a living creature that you're

00:46:32.360 taking the life you're not actually taking the life based on the native american lore god when you

00:46:38.220 dedicate yourself to proficiency god is actually providing the gift for your dedication and that's

00:46:45.480 the way we look at but the campfires there we i whip out the guitar and i'll play fred bear and i just

00:46:50.700 want to go hunting and my bone arrow and occasional stranglehold and cat scratch fever and we actually

00:46:55.060 change it to can't trap beaver but we what we do is we just i'm a fun guy if you don't have fun with

00:47:01.860 me you might be a michael moore fan the point is we just have a ride around the campfire so go to

00:47:07.840 ted nugent.com we're booking next falls hunts now and my son toby my son rocco shemaine is there uh

00:47:14.340 jim knapp up in michigan uh bob bohannon here on spirit wild ranch we just the best the best fun people

00:47:21.620 kind loving giving cocky funny people we have the best campfires in the world i'll tell you

00:47:28.460 we have got to get out whether it's michigan because that's close to my hometown in ohio or

00:47:33.880 down to texas i know that aaron lewis said let's go i was talking to him a week or two ago at one of

00:47:38.680 his gigs here in southern california i don't know that mr gates has been on a lot of hunts but maybe

00:47:43.920 we could drag matt along riley you've been on many hunts in your life no sir none at all no but would

00:47:49.240 love to wow love to change that we might have to break i can't say pop two never mind we might

00:47:53.720 have to break in two non-hunters uncle ted matt and riley i'll tell you most of in fact i think

00:48:00.120 every one of our campfires remember it's every weekend august september october november and then

00:48:04.900 here in texas in december every hunt has a number of brand new people who want to find out what this

00:48:12.960 thrill is that i'm always celebrating and promoting and so we we guide them on what kind of equipment to get

00:48:18.660 how to prepare themselves how to practice and become proficient you need to be accurate and

00:48:23.620 knowledgeable with that firearm there's only one gun law needed on planet earth and that is to never

00:48:28.880 point it towards anything you're not willing to destroy boom and exactly and all other all other

00:48:33.860 regulations are infringements all other gun laws are illegal amen and i and i defy all of them the point

00:48:41.460 is is that a lot of brand new guys come and we take our time we'll go to the range with them even

00:48:47.020 though they have to put in range time before they arrive they have to be familiar with their bow

00:48:51.300 familiar with their weapon they need to know it intimately you have to know it intimately like a

00:48:55.720 guitar um a gun and a bow is should be an extension of you just a muscle memory natural connection the

00:49:04.180 point is is that these people come and they get teary-eyed whether they kill an animal or not

00:49:10.880 that they're the camaraderie that the caliber of people that you find in a hunting camp they're just

00:49:18.360 the best of the best and these guys when they're done with their two or three day hunt with me

00:49:23.640 they go i had no idea that such incredible experience was available and it's only available

00:49:32.000 at a hunting camp because there is a physics of spirituality to participate as a reasoning predator

00:49:40.740 in god's miraculous creation balancing the herd and it goes right to your spirit it's it's magic

00:49:48.660 stuff it is i agree and you know what you'll find out riley when you go with other uh men and women

00:49:54.240 that have the same love you will because i've gone by myself and i'm sure ted probably has too it's a

00:49:59.960 different feel when you're out there in northwest ohio in the flat fields standing up next to a tree at

00:50:04.780 5 30 in the morning freezing your ass off for hours all alone waiting for that hopeful big buck to come 0.79

00:50:09.940 walking through your little woods it's it's amazing it is it's thrilling but there is something about

00:50:15.480 camaraderie having the guys out there like i was just in iowa a few weeks back ted and i got taken i

00:50:20.460 was giving a speech and the folks that flew me in said hey one thing we do in iowa all the time is

00:50:24.520 pheasant hunting and because you're coming in we want to take you on a hunt with some of the local

00:50:28.800 leaders and business leaders and whatnot and we got about nine folks out there and let me tell you it was

00:50:34.820 two or three gals young and old four or five guys young and old and when those birds flutter and those

00:50:41.440 dogs are popping them up let me tell you what by the way i shot more anybody else um i'm pretty deadly

00:50:47.020 with that gun it was it's just that camaraderie and then with the with the with the critters as i like

00:50:53.040 to call them when you see them drop and you know you nailed that shot and the dog did his job and

00:50:57.160 you did your job and the dog brings it back and you see that beautiful bird and then you go and cook

00:51:01.920 that tasty pheasant and it's better than chicken it's something you just can't explain unless you've

00:51:06.860 done it uncle ted well i think in other in other areas of life too just having that sense of

00:51:10.580 accomplishment like you worked for your own yes the food that you're eating comes from you it's it's so

00:51:15.220 simple it's something we take for granted now you just go to the store and it's all there for you but

00:51:18.400 there's at some point in the way somebody actually has to produce something it has to come from

00:51:22.740 somewhere so being that that self-producing entity thinking i actually went i hunted this i was patient i had

00:51:28.640 to work for i had to earn it i think it just makes that much more rewarding oh it does there's a real

00:51:32.900 sense of just innate accomplishment and you're living as god intended so it's a double whammy

00:51:37.220 yeah i want intended amen amen yeah we only got a couple minutes left with uncle ted and the whole

00:51:42.140 show and there was three things that i told riley i wanted to touch on with ted nugent and that was

00:51:47.580 music hunting and patriotism and so when we got two three minutes left i think the producers are telling me

00:51:54.260 ted has and is so passionate about our flag about this nation and about his patriotism too i just

00:52:03.280 want the last two minutes of the show for uncle ted to be able to go off and and tell especially these

00:52:08.360 lefty a-holes who are anti-american these days why we all need to get in line love this country

00:52:15.060 love this flag and stand by her and i thought the best way to end is just give the mic to uncle ted and

00:52:20.260 let him go about the flag and patriotism with about two minutes left on this podcast ted

00:52:25.440 well dan thank you very much and ronnie it's great sharing a campfire with you and the anchorman here

00:52:31.140 uh i'm proud to share truth logic and common sense with you but i was uh baptized into the reality of

00:52:37.380 good over evil when those heroes of the military welcomed me into their lives coming back from vietnam

00:52:42.500 and then a very emotional high of my life was when a survivor of the baton death march said he wanted

00:52:49.480 to meet me before he died wow and then a survivor of pearl harbor 104 year old guy in michigan wanted

00:52:56.420 to meet me before he died because they both they both were unaware of each other but they both said

00:53:02.440 the same thing marcus luttrell said it to me mark geist from benghazi said it to me john wayne walding

00:53:08.400 from uh fallujah said it to me greg stewby said it to me these heroes say the same thing to me

00:53:13.800 thank you for fighting for the freedoms my buddies died for because i got a big mouth because the

00:53:19.880 founding fathers wanted everybody to be like ted nugent to be suspicious of all authority and to

00:53:25.120 demand a constitutional accountability from our elected employees so i raised hell because i've

00:53:31.660 saluted too many flag draped coffins as a sheriff deputy for 40 years now i take a sacred oath to the u.s

00:53:38.800 constitution and those words have iron they are the soul yes of existence of freedom of independence

00:53:45.100 so god bless america and i i'm done apologizing to the heroes of the military and law enforcement for

00:53:51.080 joe biden because now we have a real commander in chief and we're on a true north compass setting now

00:53:56.740 and dan you've played a big role in that with your truth logic and common sense crowbar so god bless you

00:54:01.900 for that riley thank you and uh yes pursue that rush limbaugh dream because he was a great friend and a

00:54:08.160 great american so truth logic common sense god family country constitution builder race 10 commandments

00:54:13.920 golden rule declaration of independence law and order we're radicals amen damn right we are uncle ted

00:54:21.200 nugent everybody uh ted i will get with your people let's get this hunt happening later this year we'll

00:54:27.100 bring our cameras out and then we'll have you back on the podcast all three talk shows and we'll see

00:54:31.680 who's got the best damn aim probably none of us as good as uncle ted but i'm going to try and give you a

00:54:35.960 run for your money come on dan thank you very much god bless the anchorman hey god bless you thank you 0.76
