Starting point is 00:00:00 In 2022, nearly everything you see and hear is filtered. Social media companies are deleting ideas they disagree with. The mainstream media is reporting only what fits their agenda. And our so-called leaders are using them both to fight personal battles, oftentimes leveraging your livelihood and safety in the process. Just like you, I've had enough, and that's why I created this show. Here you get unfiltered and unapologetic content. I don't care if I hurt your feelings or if I take a position that isn't popular.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I call them like I see them. I'd like to ask you to do two things to keep this show going. First, please share it with two people today. Let's show them what brutal honesty looks and sounds like. And second, please go to nickdip.com and make a contribution so we can keep this show going. Or even better, subscribe at the Comics Gym or on Patreon today and get an extra encore show each day, discounts on merchandise, and more for being a monthly subscriber.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Thank you guys so much for watching, sharing, and contributing to the best show around. You guys make it happen. Thanks so much. 🎵 Oh yeah, welcome to the show ladies and gentlemen. Happy Veterans Day to everybody out there. It's a big day. We take free speech serious and the men and women in the military allow me to shoot my big fat mouth off and
Starting point is 00:02:10 we always thank them for that and this is Veterans Day so if you see a vet tell them thank you very much I see them all the time when I'm traveling and yeah it's very important as a comic nobody takes it more serious the free speech thing okay and that's what they're doing nobody takes it more serious, the free speech thing, okay?
Starting point is 00:02:25 And that's what they're doing essentially. So it separates us from the third world shitholes, as Trump would say. Real quick, I want to thank Nicholas Simone and John McMorty, who have joined at the veto level. It's the highest level here at the show. Thank you guys so much. We appreciate the support. We can use all of it. And, yes, that's money well spent, I'll tell guys so much. We appreciate the support. We can use all of it. And yes,
Starting point is 00:02:46 that's money well spent, I'll tell you that much. Real quick, Kansas City Comedy Club, what a weekend. I had three shows. They were so close to being sold out, all three. And people, I had a couple people come up. They heard me on Glenn Beck. We had a ton of
Starting point is 00:03:01 people because of this show come out. Those are all good signs. That means we're doing something right. And special thanks to Jeff Hoffman and his friend who came. They drove, I don't know how many hours, six hours to see me, which is just so flattering. Anyways, thank you. Great club, by the way, Kansas City Comedy Club. Tomorrow on the show, remind me, I uh i had hormone therapy i had pellets injected into my ass my ass they cut an incision they put pellets in and i sprung a leak about an hour after the minor surgery i'm going to show you pictures i'm warning you now they're graphic
Starting point is 00:03:39 they are fucking bloody uh and uh later on today, Ted Nugent. I had Nugent called into the show. Had a great conversation with him last week. So that's coming up in a few minutes. You won't want to miss that. The guy can talk. And I've loved him since I was a kid. He was one of my rock and roll idols.
Starting point is 00:03:59 So don't miss that. What's going on in the news? Remember I interviewed a Donald Trump Jr., the phone interview last week, and I told him, I thought Bloomberg, Mayor Bloomberg, the guy who hates sugar and big sodas. I thought he, I've been predicting this for what, a couple weeks now, that he's going to jump into the race. It's not official yet, but he's running the primary in Alabama.
Starting point is 00:04:25 But here's what I said to Donald Trump Jr. First of all, I don't even think, any of the people running on the Democrat side right now, I don't think they're going to be the nominee. Here's my prediction. It's either going to be Hillary jumping in with her fat ankles or Mayor Bloomberg. Your thoughts? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know, they did this thing with Hillary, you know.
Starting point is 00:04:46 There were six donors that really want to recruit her. I'm like, six donors? That's going to be interesting. You know, and I don't think Bloomberg wants it. I don't think he wants to go up against Trump one-on-one. I'm not saying he's not a smart guy. He's very accomplished. He doesn't want to go one-on-one against Trump and have the inevitable, you know, Jeb Bush low-energy moment.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I think he's got too much of an ego for that, so I don't see that ever happening. But you never know. But in the meantime, I'm very happy with the field that we're competing against, watching the lunacy that is there. Joe Biden's the leader. Most days he doesn't remember what state he's in, but minor details. I think he'll do great one-on-one against Trump. This should be fun.
Starting point is 00:05:21 There you go. So, as he said, you never know. Well, I did know. Again, it's not official yet. He's still kind of a puss, but he's sitting there going, Jesus, Biden's out of his mind, and the rest of them
Starting point is 00:05:32 are left-wing fucking kooks. I'm a moderate. I'm a billionaire. I can afford it. And so the last few days, it looks like he might do that, just like I said. ABC News told Bernie Sanders,
Starting point is 00:05:42 the former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, may run for president because he did not like the current field of candidates. And the senator from Vermont responded, that is the arrogance of billionaires. I think he's just Jewish. I mean, jealous. Jewish. Here's a Freudian slip point.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I think he's jealous because he's Jewish. He's not a billionaire. Nick, that's a horrible thing to say. I think he's jealous because he's Jewish and he's not a billionaire. Nick, that's a horrible thing to say. Sanders went on to criticize the reported plans of the not-yet-announced billionaire to skip the first primaries. Here's Bernie. It's too important.
Starting point is 00:06:18 You see, when you're worth $50 billion, I guess you don't have to have town meetings. You don't have to talk to ordinary people. What you do is you take out, I guess, a couple of billion dollars and you buy the state of California. But I happen to believe the American people are sick and tired of the power and arrogance of a billionaire class, which increasingly controls not only the economic life of this country, but the political life of this country. We are a democracy. That means one person, one vote. You want to run for president? That's fine. Don't think you can simply buy an election by spending billions of dollars. We're a democracy. Somebody tell you that, you fucking socialist-less communist.
Starting point is 00:06:52 That's right. We're a democracy. We don't want your fucking handouts and welfare programs either. The senator was joined by AOC, excuse me, campaigning with the candidate in Iowa. I think he might be banging that. I think he might be hitting it. I think he might be hitting it. I'll tell you, she's attractive. I know she's one-eighth of my age.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I don't give a shit. So, unsurprisingly, she wasn't keen on the idea of a Bloomberg candidacy. First, she took the former mayor to task for his support of New York City's stop and frisk policies. Here she goes, playing the fucking race card, that have been criticized for being ineffective. Yeah, they're so ineffective that crime is at its lowest rates in New York City history. And she says they're ineffective, discriminatory, and racist. And she spoke about how the measures affected her personally. Oh, fucking idiot!
Starting point is 00:07:47 I don't think billionaire, she said, should be president right now. I don't think that's what the country needs, and I think it's going to take us further in the direction of wealth and political power concentrating at the very top of our country. And I think that our democracy should be for everyday people.
Starting point is 00:08:02 She gets into the whole thing about the stop and frisk and how racist it was and they stopped people who looked like her. Yes, because that's where the crime is happening. It actually protected people. Crime went down, and the statistics to prove it, I was living in there. Crime went down in those neighborhoods where people live that look
Starting point is 00:08:20 like you. Okay? And a lot of them didn't have a problem with it. Jesus Christ, they have to play that race card, don't they? The reporter also asked if Congresswoman were old enough to run, would Sanders ask her to join the ticket? AOC laughed and Sanders showered her with praise and then said, if I'm in the White House, she'll play a very, very, very important role. No question in one way or another. Health care. Health care and Medicare.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Anyways, the Democrats aren't crazy about the idea as far as Bloomberg getting in. A new poll found Bloomberg would have 4% support and will be the most unpopular Democratic candidate if he were to enter the race. Bloomberg hasn't formally announced he's running, but he filed paperwork in Alabama. Can you imagine this? A Jew from New York running in Alabama. Oh, God. One of Bloomberg's advisors tweeted, Bloomberg is considering a run because he's increasingly concerned the current field of candidates are a bunch of dumb fucking morons.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And they're not well positioned to beat Trump. That's what they're really. That's why they're trying to impeach him. We all know that. But we're waiting for Bloomberg. Speak up. Bezos reportedly called Bloomberg months ago and asked if he would run. The former mayor told his fellow billionaire at the time he would not.
Starting point is 00:09:46 But news of the call galvanized progressives in the race, particularly those who have made concerns about wealth inequality. Here's the easy thing. Bezos is a multi-billionaire. He's the richest guy on the planet. He's calling Bloomberg, who's worth about $50 billion. And you can put this together, right? Because Bezos and guys like him don't want to see Elizabeth Warren win,
Starting point is 00:10:06 who said she's going to tax the shit out of guys like Bezos. And Bloomberg's already made it clear in public that he doesn't like how Warren attacks billionaires in the top 1%. Anyways, Sanders echoed the sentiment, saying Jeff Bezos worth $150 billion, supporting Mike Bloomberg, who's worth only $50 billion. That's a real class of solidarity. And Liz Warren jumped in, but I don't want to talk about her. She's a fucking waste of my time. Former Vice President Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:10:36 What are we doing? What's going on right now? The candidate whose campaign, perhaps most similar to what Bloomberg would be like, did not respond to the story. But he told reporters in New Hampshire Friday, I love Hawaii. No. That he was unperturbed by a Bloomberg run, adding, in terms of he's running because of me, the last polls I looked at, I'm pretty far ahead. Yeah, but you're also two minutes away from wearing an adult diaper, stupid.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And Bloomberg is waiting for you to fall on your face. I think Bloomberg would be a threat. I got to be honest with you. He's got a ton of money and he would, you know, people are afraid because Trump's so off the rails. And this guy's just, he's a nanny. It would be my worst nightmare if this guy gets in. But anyways, before I get to the Ted Nugent interview, we want to thank mybookie.ag. guys we're uh halfway into the football season there's no better time to bet you like winning money who doesn't i'll tell you where to put your money down at my bookie.ag my gambling friends swear by this site if you're trying to bet on the nfl baseball mma whatever uh my bookie's got it not to mention the nhl and the the NBA seasons have just kicked off.

Starting point is 00:12:45 absolutely a fascinating personality. The great Motor City Madman called into the show Ted Nugent. Here's how it went. Please welcome Ted Nugent. Ted, thanks for being so patient. It's hard to get good health these days. My pleasure, Nick.
Starting point is 00:13:11 No problem, man. I'm here in Michigan celebrating a wonderful fall, my 71st fall in the great swamps of Michigan, so I'm a happy son of a bitch and I'm all yours. How the fuck are you 71? That is not possible. I'm looking at a picture right now, and you look like you're 69. Well, if I had a little bit of sleep, I'd be downright handsome, I'll tell you that right now. But during the rock and roll season and the hunting season,
Starting point is 00:13:34 you know, I've been clean and sober my entire life, no poisons in the sacred temple. And I've always eaten wild game, and it's got to be the most nutritious, healthiest, And I've always eaten wild game, and it's got to be the most nutritious, healthiest, most delicious, and fun to shop for food in the world. So I've really taken good care of myself. That's how I was disciplined growing up in Detroit. And I thank my mom and dad and the world around us back then in the arsenal of democracy, Nick. I was born in the arsenal of democracy. How cool is that let me tell you Michigan is I look I've
Starting point is 00:14:07 done comedy a few times in Michigan and first of all the broads are very cute in Michigan not if it's that Nordic blood or whatever but you really are like the all-american male I saw you know if you look up the picture shit kicker in the dictionary you'll see me naked with two middle fingers on fire. I think that pretty is unambiguous as it gets. You know, I'm the funniest black man since Richard Pryor's afro caught fire. So I think most people really appreciate me more than you can imagine. Hey, I did.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Let me tell you something. I know you have damaged, a little bit of damaged hearing, which makes sense. We have that in common. i went to a concert i saw you circa 1977 cape cod coliseum a band called me and tucked it open for you and the curtains open you're standing on a stack or like marshall amps or whatever 20 feet you jump off i still don't know how you didn't break your fucking knees or ankles I hope you enjoyed that Nick because I did that for thousands and thousands of concerts and I never heard the word meniscus I hope you enjoyed the sacrifices I made for your entertainment value but no I had to have both of my knees replaced up back a
Starting point is 00:15:22 couple years ago because they were completely gone. And I attribute it to that insanity because, you know, people love my music. I play American soul music. I play defiant middle finger shit kicker working hard, playing hard, you know, Motor City roustabout, hell-raising music. And who doesn't like that? But I love my music more than anybody so i really i really become possessed obsessed and just intoxicated by the drums and the bass and my incredible gibson guitar tone from kalamazoo michigan so i kind of lose my mind when i'm up
Starting point is 00:16:01 there i'm lucky i'm still alive much less having my knees replaced I'm telling you I I left there it was like the greatest show I'd ever seen I I go home that night my ears are ringing I'm like well that's normal but now they can fast forward two weeks later they're still fucking ringing I'm like okay what's going on three weeks later now only one's ringing and to this day when I talk to somebody in the phone, if they're talking too loud, I have to switch from my left to my right ear because of just what the doctor ordered. Well, not only you, you can imagine me. I was there with the howitzer.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I mean, I literally, the only reason I can understand one syllable you're conveying to me, Nick, is because I have a miracle ear hearing aid in my right ear right now. But, you know, it's a combination. I always carried a gun, and I did a lot of shooting. I've always maximized my time in the great outdoors, and I like the aim small, miss small marksmanship, not just for hunting, but the discipline, the shock mantra, the samurai Bruce Lee ballistic ballet that is the shooting sports and marksmanship.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So I always carried some pretty big guns, and whenever I'd see a coon or a possum or a skunk or a coyote, I mean, I'd just jump out of the truck, run to the swamp, and I'd start shooting, and I never wore hearing protection. And so it's a combination of Gibson guitars and a Smith and Wesson hearing damage. But I, with a miracle ear, I can still hear clearly. I, I mean, I'm talking to you and you mumble. Yes, I do mumble. Well, I'm, I'm talking my rock and roll hero here,
Starting point is 00:17:36 but let me ask you about that, Ted, you're a big hunter. I own a couple of guns. I didn't until I got on Twitter and I had to fucking get guns to protect myself so I'm shooting a different kind of rascal but what what um how do you feel about I see these big game hunters like these people they go on safaris and shoot African elephants what is that about I can walk up to an elephant and punch it in the face. There's no sport in that, right? Boy, Nick, I'm glad you asked that. Hang on one second.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Entertain the people for five seconds. I'm going to shut the bacon off. Medicine. Literally, I just shut the bacon off. But here, it's a great sequel. It's a great transition into your question. Nick, I want you to take a deep breath. I want everybody listening to take a deep breath and listen to me. I've been a hunter my whole life. I've spent many, many years in Africa with the villagers, with the aboriginal people, with the African citizens, please make a note. You have to reduce the elephant population, the rhino population, the giraffe, the zebra, the kudu, the gemsbok, the warthog, the inyala. All those wildlife species are African deer.
Starting point is 00:19:10 species are African deer. There is a finite science-based carrying capacity to any habitat on planet Earth. And most emphatically, when you don't allow the regulated hunting of elephant, particularly in all those animals, then there's no money from the license sales and the tips and the business platform. There's no money to pay for game wardens to stop the indiscriminate, unregulated slaughter. Nick, you have to harvest the surplus every year. It's a value commodity that people are willing to pay to do. And I got to tell you, when I killed my elephants, when my friends killed their elephants or the lion or the leopard, that meat is sacred to those villagers. They want that meat. And if we didn't pay ridiculous amounts of monies to
Starting point is 00:19:58 kill those elephants and those zebras and those, if we didn't pay that money, they would kill them and those zebras, and those... If we didn't pay that money, they would kill them indiscriminately, and they'd kill each other to get the meat. Do not be so outrageous and pompous in America to think somebody in Detroit can dictate wildlife policy in Zimbabwe. Nobody in Africa is belligerent enough to think that they can tell
Starting point is 00:20:27 us how to manage our deer. The animals have to be maintained as an asset in the asset column so that they're valuable, the people get the revenues, and the precious protein. I mean, when we kill an elephant, you can't find bloody sand within five hours. Those natives use everything from that elephant. And by killing that surplus percentage of elephants, or it doesn't matter, giraffe is just a long neck deer. It's meat. They use the skins. They use the bone. They use the sinew. They use the hoofs, they use the eyeballs, neck. It's a renewable resource, and I wish people in America would shut the fuck up and let Native Africans manage their wildlife in the asset column
Starting point is 00:21:18 instead of some asshole like Pam Anderson trying to save Bambi, and then all of a sudden it's a liability if you're against hunting in Africa Fuck you Okay, so you're saying we have to you have to kill those animals to conserve those animals You have to make you have to make room in finite habitat Next year's production. They're going to have babies, Nick, but the ground is not going to expand. Surely you can grasp that.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Are we talking about the elephants or the Africans, as far as babies? I'm talking about everything, quite honestly. That's why people die. So when I see a story, and again, I'm not taking a side either way here. I used to hunt... If you're smart, you'll take my side, but go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Of course, I'm going to take your side. You know 12 times more about it. So these stories I see when these people just kill these elephants just for their tusks. No, they don't. No, there's no such thing. So that's propaganda. Nick, the only place where elephants are killed for their tusks are where hunting has been banned, and there's no hunting dollars to hire game wardens.
Starting point is 00:22:32 I get you. Now I get you. When we kill an elephant with a license, just like when we kill a deer with a license, that meat, Nick, those native villages, they need that meat. They eat every scrap. I swear swear to god they use the tail they use the ears they use the toenails man they use it all they'd sit for tools and medicine and weapons and and food and shelter and clothing well it's not working out for them because they're
Starting point is 00:23:01 still 100 years behind well yeah but that's because they haven't got freedom. They haven't got a Constitution or a Bill of Rights. So there's still tyranny over there. That's the problem. Perfect segue into my next question. I'm going to give you a hypothetical. You're hunting, and you're out there with your bow and arrow. You're in the woods.
Starting point is 00:23:20 You see a 10-point buck, but then you look to your left, and you see Beto O'Rourke. Who do you shoot? I wouldn't waste an arrow on goofball Beto, you know what I mean? I'd just get out of my tree stand and punch the shit out of this son of a bitch for being such a treasonous traitor, an anti-American dirtbag who hates everything about America, and then he wants to somehow lead America so we can turn into Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Hey, Beto, fuck you. Hey fucking men. Pete Buttigieg, explain this to me. This guy, he saw action. He's a veteran in Iraq and whatnot. How can he have, Ted, the political views that he does after being a veteran and seeing action? Explain explain square that up for me you're way smarter than me please explain that to me well Nick you're asking a question that mystifies the human mind if you feel guys like Bruce Springsteen and these guys that condemned the very system by which they've had a successful life. How do you do that?
Starting point is 00:24:29 How do you see a system that has provided the greatest quality of life in the history of the world and then run a campaign that would destroy it? The work ethic, the fact that we don't want free stuff because free stuff makes you stupid and weak. And the reason people want to come to America is because we busted our ass, we earned our own way, we live within our means, we save for a rainy day, and we all give to the needy and help out the truly needy when we witness the needy instead of somebody like Beto O'Rourke telling us that his people need a handout when they claim disability before they go water skiing.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I mean, we could go into the gory minutia of the disconnect and the treason of the left and that they don't believe that America needs secure borders. Let me put it real clearly uh but a judge if you don't believe america needs secure borders you are the enemy of america exactly right you have uh locks on your doors for a reason i the whole socialist i you know i just read 70 of millennials don't have a problem with socialism. What this generation needs, Ted, is another Ted Nugent for them. Well, you know, if you met my band, my crew, I think you figured me out. I'm pretty easy to figure out.
Starting point is 00:25:58 I get up early. I bust my ass. I put my heart and soul into being the best that I can be. my ass. I put my heart and soul into being the best that I can be. I force myself to be in the asset column for my family, my neighborhood, my community, my state, my country, planet Earth, and the environment. Ted Nugent is in the asset column of the world. I have planted more trees with these Motor City Madman greasy soul music fingers than anybody you will ever interview. I plant thousands of trees almost every year since 1970. I have created forests which help clean air, soil, and water. I have spent gazillions of dollars with conservation charities and hunting licenses
Starting point is 00:26:39 and supplies and sporting goods that we tax ourselves to go for game departments, to go for the regulation enforcement so that wildlife habitat is valuable and that wildlife habitat is where quality air, soil, and water comes from. The people should just be getting on, they should genuflect and say, thank you, Uncle Ted, for making life worthwhile. So when you have people that attack the fundamentals that provided them the quality of life, I guess you just have to kind of furrow your brow, momentarily wince, and then charge forth doing good anyway. Sometimes you give the world the best you got, you get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you got, you get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
Starting point is 00:27:27 That's the mantra for the Nugent family, everybody I hang with, my band, my crew, my management, my friends, my brothers, my sisters, my children, my grandchildren. Everybody I know makes sacrifices and busts their ass to be in the asset column so that they can give Instead of take that's why I'm a radical What do you say back to the guns and hunting? What do you say if a Fed knocks on your door as a beta was having a wet treat even though he's done But there's still people who believe the horseshit he believes in what would you do if a federally knocked on your door and tried you know asked you to hand your guns over to how would you handle that situation well if it was a federality i'd shoot him in the forehead because we all we all know that the federalities are basically
Starting point is 00:28:21 their drug cartel um the entire mexican government is the drug cartel the mexican army is the drug cartel i didn't mean federally i mean a federal agent of the united states one of my federal agents they probably call me ahead of time and we sit down and have a cold burners ginger ale and discuss how indecent how immoral how constitutional oath violating such a decree is and then that federal agent and i would go to their boss and we'd fix him i i i think of you when i watch like uh you know after a mass shooting that we've had many of a few years uh and and there's all this hyperbole and all this overreaction, and I think of guys like you. Are you still on the Director's Board of NRA? I am.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I've been on the Board of the National Rifle Association, the greatest family grassroots freedom civil rights organization in the history of the world, for over 28 years with the highest votes except for Charlton H heston and uh and uh i think uh ollie north but yeah the people believe in me because i'm an absolutist i know the keep means it's mine you can't have it bear means i have a couple on me right now and they're loaded fuck you you must uh lose your mind when you're listening to all this pablum after these mass shootings that don't occur as much as the media would like you
Starting point is 00:29:49 to believe, but the first thing they want to do, what don't they understand? It's not the fucking weapon, it's the person. I mean... Well, Nick, you know, when I was growing up, here it is in a nutshell, and I have all the evidence to support what I'm about to say. The other side doesn't have any evidence. They just got, you know, when I was growing up, here it is in a nutshell, and I have all the evidence to support what I'm about to say.
Starting point is 00:30:05 The other side doesn't have any evidence. They just got, you know, comfortably numb, influenced dreams. Here's the evidence. When I was growing up, we had unlimited access to unlimited firepower. Keep those words in mind. When I was growing up, you could go to Montgomery Wards and buy a machine gun. When I was growing up, everybody brought their guns to school during the hunting season, or maybe they're just going plinking.
Starting point is 00:30:36 When I was growing up, we had unlimited access to unlimited firearms. Zero mass shootings. Zero. But we also had this little thing, very controversial, it's called discipline. We also had a very controversial thing going on called respect for life. We also had this little crazy idea back when I was growing up that you actually cared about your fellow man and you were disciplined by parents and school and society in general as a culture that respected life and respected law and order that's when i was growing up now you have the most restricted commodity this side of plutonium you have to wait to get a gun. You have to go
Starting point is 00:31:26 through an FBI background check to get a gun. You have to limited magazine capacity, limited types of firearms, limited rate of fire, limited type bullets. You can't have hollow points in New Jersey. You can't buy ammunition in LA. So it's the most restricted commodity, this side of weapons, plutonium. And now we have mass shootings. Let me tell you the difference. It's not a hardware issue. It's a heart wear issue. Back when I was growing up, we cared. Today, with the dumbing down of America by an academia who is more in line with Mao Zedong than the Constitution, you have people that don't give a shit. And they have glaring threats in every instance. I've studied every mass shooting. Everybody knew that goofball was going to start
Starting point is 00:32:22 shooting people. Everybody knew that asshole one and asshole two were making pipe bombs in their garage that their mom and dad walked by every night for three years and didn't say anything because they didn't want to hurt little Johnny's feelings. My dad would have ripped my head off and shit down my neck. Nick, are you with me? I'm talking to Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And yes, I'm with you 100%. I think there's such an easy solution as far as the school shootings that you put somebody out front with a gun and you add extra exit doors in the classroom for them to get out. But that's just me. Let me ask you, you're saying nobody cares about the neighbor anymore this is all true and it all it's left-wing ideology and
Starting point is 00:33:12 uh we're pushed god not that i'm a religious person but would push god of the public square how do we change all that the libs have their grasp in academia and Hollywood. How do we turn all this around, Ted Nugent? Well, Nick, it's so simple, it's stupid. Thank God we have a president that is as close to Ted Nugent as you'll ever get in politics. Absolutely. We have a shit-kicker crowbar fan in the White House. kicker crowbar fan in the White House. This guy is about truth, logic, common sense, goodwill,
Starting point is 00:33:55 decency, work ethic, and priorities. America first. We should negotiate all contracts with everyone on the globe that benefits America first. We need to drain the swamp and get rid of the J. Edgar Hoover fan club and Jim Comey and all these turncoats from the CIA and these America haters that have infested our government forever. And I'm pretty good expressing myself, but I am helpless to adequately describe my respect, reverence, and love for President Donald J. Trump. reverence and love for President Donald J. Trump. This guy is fixing America, draining the swamp, and has reinstituted the battle cry, America first. We love America. The rest of the world can kiss my ass. It's so beautiful I can hardly stand it. Sometimes I get naked and just dance to wango tango with the virgin real splashed on my balls because this guy is so good at what he does he really is i i'm glad you said right into him because that's where i was going this guy like you said work ethic is unbelievable uh very very smart
Starting point is 00:34:59 uh but he's uh what's the one i'm looking for? Well, he has a lot in common with you. No drugs, no alcohol. Is he the greatest president? Let me ask you, Ted. Is he the greatest president of your lifetime? Because he isn't mine, in my opinion. I believe he's the greatest president since George Washington. Now, who's that again?
Starting point is 00:35:24 I went to a liberal college you know it by the way the liberals want to come to come to my face book i'm on my face book multiple times every day and i've always said this and i challenge anybody anywhere anytime anyhow to debate me because if you come up and try to challenge my addiction to truth logic common sense of the
Starting point is 00:35:44 evidence to support everything I stand for, I will gleefully and readily eat your family tree and shit sawdust in your face because the Ted Nugent detractors got nothing. They are consumed by hate and lies, and I like to dance on their empty skulls with my deer boots and then clean the guts off the cleats later on to feed to my hunting dogs. I was wondering if anybody heard my new song called Eat, Shit, and Die. Are you with me, Nick?
Starting point is 00:36:17 You shit me, I've been with you since 1976 when I was 14 years old. But the beautiful thing is, is everything I'm saying right now is great as Donald Trump is. He really wants to talk like I do. He really wants to say these things, but he's got to have some element of decorum. Me, I don't. Yeah, me either as a comic. And I cherish the First Amendment. And you do, obviously, because you're an artist.
Starting point is 00:36:43 And I don't take it for granted one second it's what i love most about stand-up comedy and i love that my art form is at the center every time there's a debate about ooh is was that too mean can they did they go over the line i love that comics are at the center of this uh my friend dave chappelle who's one of the greatest comics ever he's getting all the credit, Ted, for what I've been doing as a fucking white guy since 1995. Help me out with that one.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Well, I got, you know, I've been such a lucky guy. My God, I got to hunt with Fred Bear. I got to race with Parnelli Jones and Mickey Thompson. I played bass guitar for Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Nick, are you fucking kidding me? Did you really? I married Shemaine Nugent. I opened up for the Supremes and the Bo Brummel's at Cobo Hall in 1963.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Holy shit. I mean, I've literally been to the mountaintop of every dream a rock and roller and a horsepower guy and an American dreamer could have. dream a rock and roller and a horsepower guy and an American dreamer could have. But let me tell you, equal to all those amazing gifts that I was given, I got to hang out at the comedy store in L.A. with Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and Rodney Dangerfield. And don't underestimate Bruce Willis. He's a funny son of a bitch. I thought he said you don't do drugs.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I got to hang of it. They were all hired. Shit. I was the only guy there who was taking care of business. Believe me. But I'm a funny guy, too. I mean, I'm funnier than all of them because my brain works without the drugs. And they were all phenomenal talents.
Starting point is 00:38:20 They were gifted super humans, and they were great, great people. They were great, great people. They were great, great, positive people. But let me tell you, what you're doing as a comedian, I mean, I'm friends with those guys. They were far left. Most of them, Sam Kinison was with me in most stuff and Bruce Willis was, but the rest of them were, I mean, George Lopez is a dear friend of mine. And this guy is basically, you know, a reject from the Mao Zedong School of Venezuela. But he's a good man. He has a work ethic. He has priorities.
Starting point is 00:38:51 He's a conscientious person. But he thinks he's a liberal, but I'm trying to, you know, wake him up that he's not really because liberals don't have the work ethic that he has. Now, Bill Maher has a great work ethic, and he's off the fucking charts. But I consider him a friend. I mean, we don't
Starting point is 00:39:08 beat each other up. We have dialogue, and I, you know, when you're comfortably numb, you kind of lose track with the dialogue when you're hanging out with Ted Newt. I'm a little too fast for these people. But I'm respectful when they stumble, and I even help mop up the spittle in the corner of their mouth,
Starting point is 00:39:24 both literally and figuratively, by the way. So, yes, First Amendment and opinions matter, but when it gets so vile and obscene that you don't believe your country needs to be secure, that you don't know the difference between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, when you believe that sanctuary cities, giving sanctuary to MS-13 is a reasonable policy, when you are so out of your cotton-picking mind that you know gun-free zones are where the most innocent lives are slaughtered, and you want more of them?
Starting point is 00:40:09 them? So you don't believe in any, you know, you want abortion legal, and then you claim it's your woman's body, she has rights over her body, even after the baby's out of the body, they get to kill them? Really? You gotta be fucking kidding me. These people are gone. It's planet of the cuckoo's nest. It's clockwork dayglobe pink. It's like a twilight zone on acid. So I just keep fighting. I keep standing up with truth, logic, and common sense. And thank God my president does the same. And there's a lot of conservatives out there like yourself. I don't know if you're conservative or not, but you obviously adhere to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, goodwill, decency, positive energy and spirit more giving than taking i mean that's the that's the mantra of conservatives i'm gonna be honest i'm a bit of a selfish cocksucker but uh uh yes
Starting point is 00:40:57 i stand for all those and uh i just can't believe like you said we are at this point where people uh believe in sanctuary cities and giving free health care and tuition to people who i hear illegally it just i see ilan omar uh she's out there now she's on bernie sanders side saying bernie sanders will end western imperialism this bride with the hijab on her head, 18 years after the worst attack on our country. How did they get elected, Ted? And this is in Minnesota, you know, Minnesota, the heart of the country.
Starting point is 00:41:36 How does that happen? 18 years after 9-11. I mean, Jesus Christ. Well, here's a perfect example of the left. They want to eliminate the very foundation of the quality of life that capitalism brings from being compensated based on talent, sacrifice, and work ethic and ideas that you can provide services and goods and supplies to people who want to purchase them. I mean, duh. Duh. But then you have people who want to eliminate the system by which they've enriched themselves.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Then you have someone like this Omar, good-looking bitch, but dumber than a rock. If she was successful in implementing her agenda, she couldn't be in the position she's in. And all you have to know about them is that they believe in genital mutilation. Fuck you! Look, when I was doing cult back, I mutilated
Starting point is 00:42:36 a few genitals, but not on purpose. It was dark, and I don't know what I was doing. Well, Nick, I appreciate you opening up an uninhibited, total First Amendment opportunity here. I consider this the Nick and Ted truth, logic, common sense, we the people, shit kicker campfire. So I dearly appreciate that. And I'm glad that you're out there doing what you do.
Starting point is 00:43:00 I do media almost every day. I mean, in between gut and my deer. And I don't run into any resistance out there. I mean, they do it behind closed doors. They're scared to death of me, because they know they can't debate me. They can't debate me. What, are you going to tell me that genital mutilation is something we should aspire to? Jeez, oh God. So thank you for doing what you do, because yeah, you have a little bit more creative license as a comedian. That's why Bill Maher gets away with the stupidity that he spews. Whenever he wants to make some asinine, anti-American joke, he covers it and claims that it's comedy and he has the right to do so.
Starting point is 00:43:38 But he actually believes in that bullshit. Yeah, that's what scares me. And he gets away with it because let's be honest his people run the business and it's it's planet of the cuckoos but i gotta tell you on a positive note nick yeah i had the greatest tour of my life my band jason heartless on drums 23 year old animal from detroit yeah and greg smith on bass guitar i had the greatest tour, the greatest crew, the greatest music, the greatest audiences. My guitar tone was absolutely out of body. And now I'm having the greatest hunting season of my life.
Starting point is 00:44:13 There's turkeys and deer and there's beaver and there's coons and squirrels and doves and pheasants and ducks and geese. My dogs are drunk on gut piles. and pheasants and ducks and geese. My dogs are drunk on gut piles. I'm having a real life liberty and pursuit of happiness every day of my life because I prioritize. I give more than I take
Starting point is 00:44:33 and I work my ass off even at 71 years of age. Well, there's no doubt about that. You just completed your 59th tour. Well, I did 6,000... 6,756 live concerts. I was at number 46.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Unbelievable. No, seriously, you're an inspiration. You were when I was a kid. And as I followed you as you got older with your politics, I don't mean to kiss too much ass,
Starting point is 00:45:03 but seriously, you're an inspiration. Let me ask you real quick. Do you have a son named Rocco? I do. your politics uh i don't mean to kiss too much ass but seriously you're an inspiration let me ask you real quick do you have a son named rocco i do rocco winchester nugent a great great man yeah well do you know that's my middle name and my grandfather's first name hey what do you have italian in you that i don't know no actually we were hunting in africa and uh the owner of the ranch that we were hunting on, his name was Rocco Gioia.
Starting point is 00:45:26 And because Rocco was born just before we returned to his ranch, we loved the name Rocco. I didn't really think of it as an ethnic angle. I just liked the sound of it. Like his middle name is Winchester. I mean, why not? Rocco Winchester Nugent. Yeah, you got my oldest boy is Theodore Fleetwood Nugent, because I was driving a Cadillac at the time. This has been unbelievable. I can't thank you enough for doing this.

I played that till the needle broke monster to play and I'm unbelievable as good as it gets and they say greatest guitar play in Detroit's history how about on the planet but crying I'm not well you know I'm my favorite guitar player I like to milk blood and guts out of my Gibson Birdland and this year you know I got a I got a studio in my barn here and a bunch of guitars and amplifiers, and I'm always dicking around and experimenting.

In fact, I'm going to have Linda send you a new jam I just did with the great Carmine Apice on drums, Tony Franklin on bass, and Kelly Keeling on vocals, a song called Days Are Nights. And you've got to play it. You can play it on your show. It is the ultimate firestorm. All-American shit kicker roust about hell-raising Motor City firestorm of music you've ever heard. And I love the music now more than ever. I love the silence of my duck blind and my tree stand. I love America. I love freedom.

And one confession before I let you go. I use the intro to stranglehold every time I'm introduced at a comedy venue to bring me on. Do I owe you any money? I would.
