Peter Montgomery

Richard Mack, a former Arizona county sheriff and founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, is making the rounds of right-wing podcasts demanding that President Donald Trump pardon a sheriff who was convicted in December on federal charges of conspiracy, fraud, and bribery.

Mack recently appeared on the show hosted by intensely antisemitic far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters as part of his campaign to win a pardon for Scott Jenkins, the former sheriff of Culpeper County, Virginia, who was convicted by a jury and sentenced last month to 10 years in prison. Peters introduced Mack as “a longtime friend of the Stew Peters show.”

Mack portrays Jenkins as the victim of political persecution. Here’s how the Justice Department described the evidence against Jenkins:

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Jenkins accepted cash bribes and bribes in the form of campaign contributions…

In return for the bribes, Jenkins appointed each of the bribe payors as auxiliary deputy sheriffs, a sworn law-enforcement position, and issued them official Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office badges and credentials. The bribe payors were not trained or vetted and did not render any legitimate services to the Sheriff’s Office or the citizens of Culpeper County.

Some of the money Jenkins received was reportedly in the form of $15,000 cash in a bag. More details from NBC channel 4 in Washington, D.C.:

Each of the bribe payors was sworn in as an auxiliary deputy and given a badge allowing them enhanced gun rights and, as some testified, the hope they could get out of speeding tickets. Others used the badges in attempts to get a COVID test, drive in highway emergency lanes or get around a TSA line.

Jenkins’ lawyer suggested that the scheme was a “creative” effort by the sheriff to get around Virginia legal limits on gun ownership. Mack, who made a name for himself as a plaintiff in a successful challenge to part of the Clinton-era Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, praised Jenkins’ oppositionto gun regulation:

…this guy, this Sheriff Jenkins, was the first sheriff in the country to respond to Joe Biden and say, there will be no gun confiscation, not on AR-15s or AK-47s—nothing. Nothing will be confiscated in my county by your federal government. Don't allow them to come in here. If they do start to come in here, I will deputize every single person in my county, and they will be required to keep their guns and be armed with high-powered rifles. Don't try it.

On Peters’ show and a recent appearance on Michael Jaco’s podcast, Mack complained that he, former Trump aide Michael Flynn, and MAGA rocker Ted Nugent had all tried to get Trump’s attention to promote a pardon for Jenkins, but that they had run into “blockers” in the White House. Flynn has also raised money for Jenkins' defense. On Jaco's show, Mack compared Jenkins’ badge-selling to the badges Mack offers in return for membership in CSPOA’s posse for a $760 fee. Mack and Jaco also commiserated about federal judges who have ruled against Trump actions and about what Mack called “some real evil RINO Republicans” in Congress.

Before introducing Mack, Peters delivered a rant denouncing immigrants as “parasitic criminals” and “savages.” He slammed the Trump administration for not delivering sufficiently on its promise of mass deportations. “Sheriffs have the power to enforce federal immigration laws in their jurisdiction,” Peters said, “and they also have the power to arrest treasonous government officials who allow this country to be invaded.”

Mack didn’t disagree with anything Peters said, though Mack said he was “really thrilled” that Trump was elected, and that the president has made a “good start” in securing the border in his first 90 days. He said there's "no way" that mass deportation will be successful without sheriffs' participation.

Mack and the CSPOA train law enforcement officers in Mack’s views about the Constitution and his belief that sheriffs are the “only legitimate law enforcement officers in this country,” as he told Peters. Mack partners with far-right figures like neo-Confederate Michael Peroutka and participated in the ReAwaken America tour, which brought together conspiracy theorists, MAGA insiders, and far-right activists. The often-unaccountable power of local sheriffs and the impact of Mack’s “constitutional sheriff” movement are exploredin a recent book, “The Highest Law in the Land: How The Unchecked Power of Sheriffs Threatens Democracy,” by journalist Jessica Pishko.

tED NUGENT

Known for his wild man stage persona, Ted Nugent—born December 13, 1948 in Detroit—grew up in a strongly Christian household under a disciplinarian Army staff sergeant father. “There’s quite an unlimited list of ingredients that goes into where I got here today, but I guess it can be summarized with ‘discipline,’” Nugent said. “I was disciplined to do the best that I can do or I wouldn’t get dinner. My allowance was food, and that’s only if I cut the lawn perfectly.”

Nugent soon found the guitar, and by the early ’60s, he was playing his wild brand of Detroit rock in several local bands. Upon forming the Amboy Dukes in 1965, Nugent took his raw rock beyond the local borders and released several albums with the Dukes, scoring a Number 16 hit with 1968’s “Journey to the Center of the Mind,” which the anti-drugs-and-alcohol Nugent claimed he didn’t know was about being under the influence (his teetotalist views are often cited as an influence on the no-drugs-and-alcohol lifestyle so common to hardcore punk, epitomized by Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins).

After a few more albums with a rotating cast of musicians that backed him, lead singer/guitarist Nugent officially dropped the Amboy Dukes name in 1975. Without missing a beat, Nugent went on an incredible solo run, releasing one multi-platinum album per year between 1975 and 1978 while cementing his status as one of rock’s most intense and energetic guitar showmen. Following a steady stream of solo albums throughout the ’80s, Nugent went multi-platinum again with supergroup Damn Yankees (including Tommy Shaw of Styx) in the early ’90s. In 1995, Nugent returned to solo work with Spirit of the Wild, after which he turned his attention to his incredibly rigorous touring schedule, which has topped out at over 300 shows per year and has yielded many live albums over the past two decades.

In addition to his work as an author, columnist, USO performer, radio host, television personality, actor, philanthropist and conservative/humanitarian/Second Amendment activist, Nugent still maintains that rigorous touring schedule. This year’s two-disc live album, Ultralive Ballisticrock, captures a 2011 performance in Pennsylvania. That title tells you pretty much all you need to know about Nugent’s sound.

wiki update 11 24

...Family and relationships

Nugent has been married twice and has six children with four women. In the late 1960s, prior to his first marriage, Nugent fathered a boy and a girl, both of whom he gave up for adoption in their infancy. This did not become well known to the public until 2010. The siblings were adopted separately and had no contact with one another. The son learned the identity of his birth father in 2010, through the daughter's quest to make contact with him and their birth parents. According to a news report, over the years Nugent had discussed the existence of these children with his other children.^[70] His son Ted Fleetwood Nugent owns a restaurant in the Bay Ridge, Brooklyn section of New York City called Cebu.

He was married to his first wife, Sandra Jezowski, from 1970 to 1979. They had two children, a son and a daughter.^[71] Jezowski died in a single-car crash in 1982.^[72]

His second wife is Shemane Deziel, whom he met while a guest on Detroit's WLLZ-FM, where she was a member of the news staff. They married on January 21, 1989. Together they have a son.

In 2005, Nugent agreed to pay $3,500 in monthly child support for a son fathered with a woman named Karen Gutowski while he was married to Deziel.^[73]

Relationships with teenage girls

Nugent's 1981 song "Jailbait" describes having sex with a 13-year-old girl.^[74][75] He admitted to several affairs with underage girls in a Behind the Music episode.^[76][77] Musician Courtney Love claims that she performed oral sex on Nugent when she was 12.^[78][79] On a later occasion she said she was 14.^[80]

In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with 17-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. However, they could not marry due to the age difference. To get around this, Nugent joined Massa's parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian.^{[81][82][83][84}]

Health

Since the 1970s, Nugent has promoted anti-drug and anti-alcohol stances. He is a national spokesman for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program.^[85] In 2018, he admitted that he drinks "a little wine".^[86]

Nugent suffers from hearing loss.^[87] He said in a 2007 interview: "The ear's not too good, especially with background noise, but that's a small price to pay. Believe me the journey was worth it."^[88]

Politics

Political views

Nugent is a vocal supporter of the Republican Party and various associated conservative causes, particularly gun rights and hunter's rights.^[89] He is a supporter of former President Donald Trump and has made a number of statements critical of former President Barack Obama, one of which was perceived as potentially threatening and led to Nugent being investigated by the Secret Service.^{[90][91][92][93}]

Nugent speaking at a campaign event for Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Scottsdale, Arizona

In addition to Nugent's support of Trump, he also endorsed Mitt Romney for president^[94] and Joe Arpaio for Sheriff of Maricopa County, in the 2012 U.S. elections.^[95] He also worked as the treasurer and co-chairman for Sid Miller's 2014 campaign for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.^[96]

Despite his support of Republicans, he has been critical of several Republican politicians, stating during the 2008 presidential election that John McCain was "catering to a growing segment of soulless Americans who care less what they can do for their country, but whine louder and louder about what their country must do for them."^[97] He also clashed in 2014 with Jay Dean, then the mayor of Longview, Texas and an incoming Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives after Dean moved to cancel Nugent's scheduled appearance at the Longview Independence Day concert. Dean said that he finds Nugent's music unsuitable for family-oriented audiences on July 4. Longview hence paid Nugent $16,000, half of the amount he had been promised, to drop him from the concert. Nugent in turn called Dean "racist" and "clueless, dishonest and one of the bad guys."^[98]

Animal rights

Nugent, an opponent of animal rights, said in a long interview, "I'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their lungs."^[99] In a 1992 radio interview, Nugent referred to Heidi Prescott of the Fund for Animals as a "worthless whore" and a "shallow slut", asking "who needs to club a seal, when you can club Heidi?" He was ordered by a court to pay Prescott $75,000.^[100]

In 2000, Bhaskar Sinha was jailed briefly following an incident outside a department store in San Francisco in which he threatened and physically assaulted Nugent, who in turn took Sinha into custody until San Francisco Police arrived and arrested the protester. However, protesters claim that Nugent started the altercation by spitting in the face of one of the protesters when offered an anti-fur flyer. A San Francisco police officer, who stated that he was on the scene, said that he did not believe Nugent spat on anyone.^[101] Nugent has reportedly received death threats against him and his family from animal rights activists. On the Penn & Teller's Bullshit! episode about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Nugent said, "We've got reports and files with law enforcement across America where the animal rights extremists are on record threatening to kill my children on the way to school because we eat pheasant."^[102]

Nugent defended Kid Rock, a fellow musician and hunter, when he killed a mountain lion in January 2015, calling the people who targeted Rock "braindead squawkers" and that Rock did good by keeping predator numbers low and helping the deer population, which is vital for hunting.^[103] In July 2015, Nugent referred to people outraged over the killing of Cecil the lion as "stupid".^[104]

Nugent owns a 340-acre hunting ranch near Jackson, Michigan, called Sunrize Acres.^[105] Anti-hunters claim this fenced facility offers "canned" hunts. Nugent has said, "I understand the criticism from those who say canned hunting violates the ethic of fair chase", though he still operates the facility and refers to it as "high fence hunting".^[106]

In April 2012, Nugent agreed to a plea deal to plead guilty to transporting an illegally killed American black bear in Alaska.^[107] His sentence included two years of probation, a prohibition on hunting and fishing in Alaska and on any U.S. Forest Service lands for one year and a fine of $10,000 and he was required to produce and broadcast at his own expense a 30–60 second Public Service Announcement (PSA) on the responsibilities of hunters.^[108][109] The judge in the case, Michael A. Thompson (Alaska), admitted in court that he had never heard of the law in which Nugent was charged.^[110] Nugent explained his side of the situation in an interview with Deer & Deer Hunting.^[111]

Nugent's views on animal rights have prompted criticism from fellow musicians such as Paul McCartney^[112] and John Feldman.^[113] Feldmann wrote a song for his band Goldfinger, titled "Fuck Ted Nugent", on their album Open Your Eyes.^[114]

:{:{Civil rights}:

Nugent's views have been considered racist by some.^{[115][116][117][118}] In an interview in 1990, a few months after the release of Nelson Mandela during the negotiations to end apartheid in South Africa, Nugent stated, "apartheid isn't that cut-and-dry. All men are not created equal." He described black South Africans as "a different breed of man" who "still put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands".^[119][120]

In November 2008, coinciding with the election of Barack Obama as America's first black president, Nugent appeared on The Political Cesspool, a white nationalist radio show.^[121] In 2012, he stated, "I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War."^[122]

Nugent is also a staunch critic of Black Lives Matter, stating "Black Lives [Matter] don't give a shit about Black lives" and that they are a "terrorist organization".^[123][124]

During an interview with Piers Morgan in 2011, Nugent was asked if he would mind if one of his children came out as gay, saying "Not at all ... I'm repulsed at the concept of man-on-man sex, I think it's against nature. I think it's strange as hell, but if that's what you are, I love you. I'm not going to judge another's morals. I say live and let live. I have friends that are gay."^[125][126]

Environmentalism

Nugent has stated, "You have to have shit for brains to believe this global warming bullshit" and said people "have to be mentally ill to believe in electric vehicles".^[127] At a 2009 West Virginia rally sponsored in part by Massey Energy, Nugent "defended mountaintop removal mining", according to reporters on the scene. "On behalf of the Nugent family, I say, start up the bulldozers and get me some more coal, Massey", Nugent was recorded as saying.^[128]

Nugent was a vocal opponent of a proposition to reintroduce gray wolves into Colorado passed in 2020. He urged Colorado citizens to vote against the proposition, which had widespread support from environmental groups.^[129]

Foreign policy

In 2004, while entertaining U.S. troops during the Iraq War, Nugent visited Saddam Hussein's former war room. He commented on Iraq, "Our failure has been not to Nagasaki them."^[130] In addition to Iraq, Nugent has criticized Islamic-run countries as a whole. He has called the religion a "voodoo religion" that "believes in world domination".^[131]

While speaking at a rally for Donald Trump in 2023, Nugent shouted in regards to American support of Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine War, "I want my money back, I didn't authorize any money to Ukraine, to some homosexual weirdo."^[132]

Gun rights

Nugent is an advocate of the right to bear arms, and currently^[when?] serves on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association (NRA).^[133][134] He has said "If it was up to me, if you uttered the word 'gun control,' we'd put you in jail."^[135] When interviewed by Texas Monthly editor Evan Smith in season 5 of TexasMonthlyTalks, he said, "I would rather that the [victim of a violent crime] in Massachusetts last month who was taking her daughter to soccer when they were carjacked by a recidivist maggot, who had been in the prison system all his life but was let out again because we feel sorry for him, maybe he had a bad childhood – instead of her being hijacked and murdered, I'd rather she just shot the bastard dead... But in Massachusetts, somebody decided she can't do that. So she's dead. I would rather she was alive and the carjacker was dead."^[136]

On July 9, 2010, Nugent was interviewed by Alex Jones and criticized the latest policies issued by the Obama administration and the U.S. Supreme Court concerning gun policy. He claimed that rejecting the idea of the right to self-defense being expressed in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which Nugent called "gun control" policies, is most likely to destroy American society. Nugent also claimed similar policies were the cause of the downfall of every society in human history.^[137]

In 2016, Nugent posted an image on his Facebook page implying that Jews are behind the push for gun control.^[138] Nugent's rant sparked outrage and some called for his NRA resignation.^[139]

In March 2018, Nugent criticized the survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting who became gun control activists, calling them "mushy brained children" and stating that "the evidence is irrefutable: They have no soul."^[140]

In June 2018, Nugent said that "evil, dishonesty and scam artists have always been around and that right now they're liberal, they're Democrat, they're RINOs, they're Hollywood, they're fake news, they're media, they're academia and they're half of our government, at least ... There are rabid coyotes running around, you don't wait till you see one to go get your gun, keep your gun handy. And every time you see one, shoot one."[90][92^]

Healthcare

In 2008, Nugent was a guest on the episode Southwest Road Trip Special of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, where he spoke against obesity and public health care.^[54] Despite his stance against drugs, in 2015, Nugent declared his support for the legalization of marijuana for medical use.^[141]

On April 19, 2021, Nugent announced on Facebook that he had tested positive for COVID-19, which he referred to as the "Chinese shit".^[142] He said, "I thought I was dying ... I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days."^[143] Nugent had refused to get the vaccine saying, "nobody knows what's in it", and had denied that the COVID-19 pandemic was real.^[144] At a rally in Austin on April 29, 2023 (which focused on border security for Texas), a protester heckled at Nugent about the vaccine. Nugent responded by telling the person to "bring your needle up here, I'll shove it up your ass."^[145]

Obama administration

Nugent was particularly critical of former President Barack Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, saying they "should be tried for treason & hung",^[146] among other comments^[147][148] directed towards them. On Facebook, he shared a video depiction of Clinton being shot by her 2016 Democratic presidential primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, commenting "I got your gun control right here bitch."^[146]

At a concert on August 22, 2007, while wielding what appeared to be assault-like rifles, Nugent said in reference of Obama, "suck on my machine gun". In the same gun-wielding rant, Nugent said of Dianne Feinstein, "ride one of these you worthless whore".^[149]

In 2012 he said of Obama, “He is an evil, dangerous man who hates America and hates freedom, and we need to fix this as soon as possible”.^[150]

In January 2014, Nugent called Obama a "communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel".^[151] That February, Nugent endorsed Greg Abbott in the Republican primary election for Texas Governor. Abbott, however, distanced himself from Nugent due to the "subhuman mongrel" comment, saying, "This is not the kind of language I would use or endorse in any way."^[152] After being further chastised about it by Senator Rand Paul, Nugent apologized for the comment.^[153] However, when asked in April 2017 if he regretted his comments about Obama, he replied "No! I will never apologize for calling out evil people."^[154]

On April 17, 2012, while campaigning for Obama's opponent, Mitt Romney, at the 2012 NRA Convention, Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."^[155] Nugent received a visit from the Secret Service for these remarks.^[93] Following these comments, commanders at Fort Knox opted not to allow him to perform at a previously scheduled event.^[156]

On February 12, 2013, Nugent attended the State of the Union address given by President Obama. He was the guest of U.S. Representative Steve Stockman of Texas's 36th congressional district.^[157]

Donald Trump

Nugent at the White House in April 2017

In February 2016, Ted Nugent praised Trump's 2016 Republican Presidential Primary opponent Ted Cruz, stating "My dream would be if Ted Cruz became president tonight. I really admire Ted Cruz, on many levels."^[158] Nugent later endorsed Donald Trump and during the last week of the U.S. presidential election campaign performed at a number of Trump rallies in Michigan, including Trump's final campaign rally in Grand Rapids.

On April 19, 2017, alongside Kid Rock and Sarah Palin, Nugent had a "long-planned" visit at the White House. According to Nugent, the visit lasted four hours and was like "a family reunion." Nugent described it as "a wonderful personal tour of every room" followed by photo sessions and dinner with Trump.^[159]

Potential runs for office

Referring to Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (in office 2003–2011), during performances he would frequently interject "Jennifer Granholm, kiss my ass" into his songs and shoot an arrow at her likeness. In a 2007 interview, in discussing running for governor of Michigan, he stated that Granholm "is not doing an ugly job, but as the perfect woman, she is scrotumless".^[160]

Although Nugent has never run for government office, in the 2000s, he publicly speculated about doing so on several occasions. In May 2005, he announced he was "getting real close to deciding to run" for governor of Michigan in 2006; while in 2007, he talked about running for that office in 2010. During the latter period, he stated, "Michigan was once a great state. Michigan was a state that rewarded the entrepreneur and the most productive, work-ethic families of the state. Now the pimps and the whores and the welfare brats are basically the state's babies."^[88] Earlier, Nugent had been rumored to be under consideration by the Illinois Republican Party as its candidate in that state's 2004 Senate race, given his roots in Illinois.^[15]

In July 2008, Nugent declared "I was serious when I threatened to run for office in the past if I cannot find a candidate who respects the U.S. Constitution and our sacred Bill of Rights."^[97] When asked by Imagineer magazine in a 2010 interview about what he would do if elected to political office, he responded: "Slash the living hell out of the waste and corruption and the outrageous army of do-nothing bureaucrats. I would fire every government worker whose job I would deem to be redundant and wasteful. No able-bodied human being would ever get a handout again."^[161]

In a July 2013 interview with The Washington Post, Nugent expressed interest in possibly running for President of the United States as a Republican in the 2016 election.^[162] He never sought the office.

Shemane Nugent gets 'goosebumps' as Lee Greenwood shares bold Bible prediction about Trump's 2024 bid

Shemane Nugent, the wife of conservative rocker Ted Nugent, experienced "massive goosebumps" over the weekend after Lee Green](https://news.meaww.com/shemane-nugent-gets-goosebumps-as-lee-greenwood-shares-bold-bible-prediction-about-trump)

raw story

shemane Nugent, the wife of conservative rocker Ted Nugent, said she had "goosebumps" over the weekend after singer Lee Greenwood suggested that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was predicted in the Christian Bible.

During an interview on Shemane Nugent's Real America's Voice program Sunday, Greenwood urged viewers to purchase a copy of the Bible that he was marketing alongside Trump.

"And so with faith being a forefront for President Trump's campaign and my family as well, my wife Kim and I and our two boys Dalton and Parker, we pray at all our meals, we pray at everything that we do about what's coming tomorrow and the next day," Greenwood explained. "And so we kind of listen, and we listen as hard as we can to the message from God and see exactly what he has planned."

"And I will tell you that after the assassination attempt of President Trump, if you go to the pages of Leviticus and find out that the person that gets blood on his right ear from an injury is then anointed, President Trump will become our next president," he added. "I guarantee you that."

"Wow, I just got massive goosebumps," Shemane Nugent replied. "And I've heard that too. And I've read that in Leviticus."

Evangelical leaders have criticized Trump supporters for misinterpreting Leviticus following the assassination attempt.

“This is an example of gross mishandling of Scripture,” Alabama Baptist pastor Derek Allen wrote following Trump's shooting. “When one small part of something kind of fits something that supports something we want, we run with bad interpretations and applications of Scripture."

“Those of us who believe the Bible is the infallible and inerrant Word of God often criticize liberal interpretations of Scripture that take the same approach. We have to guard ourselves from letting our emotions take us to such places.”

Nugent and His Wife Ask God for Forgiveness, But Not for What They Should

March 21st, 2024 Hesher Keenan

It’s been a minute since we took ol’ Ted Nugent out for a spin. We haven’t posted his pasty, hateful alt-right ass on our page since last September and that’s mostly because he hadn’t said anything particularly interesting or worthwhile. I mean, he still remained the hateful bastard that allegedly shit his britches to dodge the draft and allegedly adopted a 17 year-old girl so he could marry her, but everyone knows that already.

Yet during a recent episode of his shit-spewing podcast The Spirit Campfire, he and his wife Shemane did the unthinkable — they prayed to God to apologize.

Oh, they didn’t apologize about the right thing, mind you. They failed to come to grips about the people their words and actions have harmed or the countless people he’s turned into alt-right fools by using their own fears on them. Nugent never apologized for any of the anti-trans, racist, violent rhetoric he’s spewed over the years; you can throw that notion right out the window.

He used the power of prayer to apologize to God for not being hateful enough. The pair apologized for letting America fall to some unseen evil force. It’s truly some Looney Tunes, cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs type shit that falls in line with all the other unhinged rhetoric we’ve seen from a certain subset of American politics over the decades.

“God, we apologize. We apologize for being so spoiled, so disconnected, so irresponsible to support the evil that we have allowed, where men can enter women’s bathrooms and locker rooms and destroy women’s athletic records, and there is a segment of humanity that actually stands for that evil.

“We are sorry that we have allowed our government to become so evil that they are importing people to rape, carjack, murder and traffic children for demonic sex. We are so apologetic, but we promise you, God, we are not gonna take it anymore, and we are going to rise up and fulfill our ‘we the people’ responsibility to monitor the conduct and constitutional oath adherence and respect and reverence by those that we have heretofore mistakenly put into that kind of power.”

I’m not going to share the video link to his prayer since I’d rather not give him the ad money.

I’m sure plenty of you on either side of the aisle will blast me and the website for sharing this. Those on the left will yell about platforming the jackass while those of you on the right will say “soft,” “snowflake,” “you sound vaccinated,” and some other 10/10 commentary.

Let me just remind you that my predecessor expertly laid out the two reasons we cover Nugent. Read that and understand our intent.

James Woods

Actor James Woods has also publicly backed Trump, using his social media profile to voice his support.

Although he originally backed Carly Fiorina in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, Woods has since become a loyal devotee of the former president.

On Twitter in 2017, Woods called Trump "a man who is willing to work for free to make his beloved country a better place."

As promised during the campaign, Trump did not take a salary during his time in office. Instead, he donated his presidential salary, which was $400,000 annually, to various federal agencies and initiatives each quarter. However, Trump's financial interests outside his presidential salary did generate revenue during his time in office. Reports indicated that his hotels and resorts, particularly the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., often hosted diplomats, political events, and others seeking access, which brought scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and the financial gains his business experienced due to his position. And in 2021, The Washington Post reported that was no record the former president donated his salary in the last six months of his term. He also still gets a presidential pension of more than $220,000 a year.

In 2019, Woods described the entrepreneur-turned-politician as "the voice of the American people," slamming news outlets that criticized Trump.

Kelsey Grammer

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer has publicly supported Trump since 2016.

Later that year, Grammer backed Trump's decision to withdraw from the G-20 climate agreement, in which 20 of the world's largest economies work together to fight global warming.

"A vote for Trump is a vote for no tax on tips," he wrote in June.

Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid, brother of fellow Trump supporter Dennis Quaid, remains a loyal Trump supporter, having voted for the Republican since his first campaign.

"I lost control of myself," she told host Gina Loudon. The pair shared a hug, before Barr told Trump: "We know that you're the only one with balls."

Ye—who legally changed his name from Kanye West in 2021—and Trump had a brief friendship in 2022.

Appearing on Tim Pool's Timcast podcast that year, Ye said he'd continue to support the former president, despite Trump being "known for lying"—although the Grammy winner didn't specify what Trump was lying about.

Where Is Donald Trump Today?

Trump is doing two rallies in major swing states today, with one in North Carolina and one in Wisconsin later in the day. Combined, these states have 26 Electoral College votes, which could be the difference in November.

Vance is in Pennsylvania, also a swing state, following in Trump's footsteps.

ERIC BOLLING (HOST): Here they go again, Ted. Obama tried to do it. Biden's trying to do it, go around Congress and take a God-given right away from us. Your thoughts.

TED NUGENT (GUEST): Well, the entire US government right now, it seems, only the guilty need to feel guilty, which would be about 99 percent are liars - psychotic, maniac, evil, tyrannical, oath-violating liars. Let me get this straight - if I'm keeping and bearing arms, then I'm legal based on, not just the self-evident truth of a God-given right, but those that are attempting to infringe on it, those are the bad guys. So let's say, I'm working with some of my friends at the ATF -- I think there's three good ones there -- and maybe some of the FBI -- I don't know if there's any good ones there anymore -- let's say they try to infringe on me. Let's say they try to tell me to pursue an immoral, illegal law in the United States of America and register my guns and get a permit for my First Amendment, or maybe a permit for my Second Amendment. If they give me that decree, I'm arresting them. They're infringing. He's infringing. Somebody arrest the president. He's the one violating the Constitution. Eric, who the hell doesn't know this?

BOLLING: You know, Ted -- you know, meanwhile, they want to take our guns away, as you point out, which isprotection against a tyrannical government.That's what it was put in place for, noteworthy on Ides of March when, you know, Caesar was shot by Brutus and others because it was tyranny.

NRA Board Member Ted Nugent Compares Obama To A Nazi On Conspiracy Theorist's Radio Show

Special PROGRAMS

GUNS & PUBLIC SAFETY

WRITTEN BY TIMOTHY JOHNSON

PUBLISHED 03/22/13

National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent made inflammatory comments about President Obama and said Cubans “haven't figured out personal hygiene” during an appearance on an online radio show hosted by9/11 truther and conspiracy theorist Pete Santilli.

Santilli, who has promoted conspiracy theories relating to the December 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six educators dead, does little to hide the fact that he is a conspiracy theorist. The recorded introduction to his radio show says that it is broadcast from “FEMA region nine” and that the show's purpose is to counter “the New World Order, the global elite and their eugenics agenda.”

In an article posted on his website, Santilli shared a conspiracy theory about the Sandy Hook shooting created by “911 truth Switzerland” that the massacre was a “satanic sacrifice” and posted images to his website that suggest the shooting was predicted by a map seen in the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.

Nugent himself has spread false information about Sandy Hook, claiming in his regular column at birther website WND that an assault weapon was not used in the massacre. Nugent's claim that the shooter used handguns originates from a video frequently promoted by conspiracy theorists who believe Sandy Hook may have been a government hoax.

In addition to pushing Sandy Hook conspiracies, Santilli links to a series of videos on his website that promote the fringe theory of Judy Wood that the Twin Towers were brought down by a “high-tech energy weapon” possibly fired from space. Santilli also promotes the work of William Cooper, an anti-government conspiracy theorist who was killed in 2001 after opening fire on law enforcement agents.

Here are five outrageous moments from Nugent's appearance on The Pete Santilli Show:

Nugent: Cubans “Haven't Figured Out Personal Hygiene Yet”

Discussing his lifestyle which involves abstaining from drugs and alcohol, Nugent recommended avoiding “fat chicks” and said that he would not “chew on a Cuban” because “they haven't learned personal hygiene yet”:

SANTILLI: You were inducted into the National Bow Hunter's Hall of Fame, by the way.

NUGENT: Yeah, you know I didn't invent the middle finger but I did perfect it in my youth. So I know that if you believe animals have rights, I promise I will kill an extra hundred just for you. Yeah, you know, I was raised to be honest and accountable and I'm sure you are on the phone right now, Pete, with the only guy you will ever talk to that has planted thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of trees. It's annual spring ritual at the Nugent house.

You see, I never poisoned my body. My parents taught me that my gift of life is embodied in the sacred temple. So no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco and no fat chicks. Stuff will kill you, Pete, I'm telling you, it's deadly. But I have been known to chew on a Cuban, that's a cigar. I wouldn't chew on a Cuban, they haven't figured out personal hygiene yet. But I do chew on a cigar once in a while when I shoot my machine gun around the camp fire.

Nugent Compares Obama To A Nazi

In discussing how the president “pretended to show respect and honor” when paying tribute to veterans at the Vietnam Memorial Wall, Nugent compared Obama to “a German in 1938 pretending to respect the Jews and then going home and putting on his brown shirt and forcing his neighbors onto a train to be burned to death”:

SANTILLI: Do you think right now we are in the final throes of implementing communism?

NUGENT: Well, you know, let's put it in the most heartbreaking frame, shall we? And you may have never heard this before, Pete, but I want everyone to listen, even the people that might be listening that hate me and want me to shut up. Just take a deep breath and give me a second here.

The President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama went to the Vietnam Memorial Wall. He did his smoke and mirrors scam. He pretended to show respect and honor, 58,000 American warriors who died fighting communism. And then he hired, appointed and associates with communists.

If you can't see through the dishonesty and the scamming of this president with that scenario fresh in your mind, then that's literally like, I guess that would be like, I don't know, a German in 1938 pretending to respect the Jews and then going home and putting on his brown shirt and forcing his neighbors onto a train to be burned to death.

So we really have a rotten, rotten man in the White House who I am convinced hates America, hates individuality.

Nugent Wanted To “Sock” Michael Moore “In The Throat” For NRA President Interview

During a commercial break, Santilli continued to broadcast his conversation with Nugent. In the recording, Nugent can be heard saying of filmmaker Michael Moore, “the man has no soul” and added that if he would have been there when Moore interviewed then-NRA president Charlton Heston for his Bowling For Columbine documentary that he would have “socked [Moore] in the throat.”

After Santilli Suggests U.S. Is Arming Al Qaeda, Nugent Says “The Devil Got [Obama] Voted Into The Presidency”

Reacting to Santilli's claim that the government is arming Al Qaeda in Syria, Nugent claimed that “the devil got [Obama] elected” and that the president is “pure evil”:

SANTILLI: Our politicians like [Republican Sens.] John McCain and Lindsay Graham and this communist-in-chief Barack Obama facilitating, supplying the Syrian rebels who are Al Qaeda. How do we stop these guys from doing this? I understand the War on Terror, going after Al Qaeda. But what do we say to all of the men and women who have given their lives trying to kill Al Qaeda and now we are supplying them. What would you say to McCain and Graham?

NUGENT: The reason the devil got him voted into the presidency, I mean I really believe the guy is just pure evil.

Nugent Compares Former Obama Administration Official To Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer

Nugent, who has previously compared Attorney General Eric Holder and Vice President Joe Biden to serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, revived the comparison during a rant that targeted Democratic politicians, current and former Obama administration officials and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg:

NUGENT: I've always been on the right path. The fact that the lowest forms of sub-human mongrels hate me, and I can name a few, [Minority Leader] Nancy “You Don't Have To Read This, You Need To Sign It” Pelosi, Michael “The Second Amendment Is About Deer Hunting On Weekends” Bloomberg. I mean, I could go on and on. But you look at the [Democratic Senator] Dianne Feinsteins and the Barack Obama and the gunrunning Eric Holder and the [former Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton who refused to provide basic security for heroes of the American representation in the most dangerous areas of the world. I can go on and on. The criminality of [former White House Chief of Staff] Rahm Emanual and [former White House special advisor] Van Jones and [former Treasury Secretary] Tim Geithner. I have a good idea, Pete, let's appoint a tax cheat as Secretary of Treasury. Hey good idea. Then we will hire Jeffrey Dahmer to take care of the children's playground.

bs org src of 94% gun free BS

...John Donohue, a gun researcher at Stanford Law School who has scrutinized Lott’s good-guy-with-a-gun assertions, said that simply giving Lott access to a trove of federal crime data may be problematic, as it “may allow him to spin more tales. Anyone who runs a crime institute whereTed Nugentis a member of the board, you get a sense that this is not an organization that is really interested in true science, but is rather trying to tell a story to match a political agenda.” (Nugent, a longtime NRA board member known for inflammatory statements directed toward Latinos and Jewish people, served on theCrime Prevention Research Center’s board of directors until 2018.) “So in that sense, any power that John has to steer funds and data in a certain direction is likely to be harmful to the public interest.”

---

armed with reason

Given Lott’s national influence, it is unsurprising that the gun lobby relies heavily on his research. The NRA and other pro-gun organizations also frequently cite his work on their “fact sheets.”Recently, the NRA even leapt to Lott’s defense after a column questioning the “More Guns, Less Crime” hypothesis appeared in the Washington Post.

The gun lobbies’ ties with Lott extend much beyond merely citing his research and occasionally defending his work. The NRA frequently promotes Lott’s events and he is often a distinguished guest at the NRA’s annual conventions. Ted Nugent, a NRA board member who has called Lott “…my academic hero,” has helped Lott with fundraising efforts for his research center.

Ted Nugent Signed book

$100 USD

If you donate $100 or more, you will receive a signed copy of one of Ted Nugent's book "Ted, White and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto." 5k$ backstage pass [or students for conceal carry?!]

with major funding and Obama’s support, flawed studies supporting gun control will soon reach Americans everywhere. The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) needs your support to conduct academic quality research to find the truth and accurately measure the extent to which guns protect citizens, reduce crime, and save lives.

Gun Control advocates are pouring money into research that will be skewed to show that guns are dangerous and should be restricted. Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $250 million to Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health to hire new professors, many whose primary objective is to do expanding research on gun violence. President Obama has also been directing federal government funds towards gun control projects. Still other funds are being set up, such as the Fund for a Safer Future, which has$16 million to fund gun control research and is one of the many gun control projects being partially funded George Soros’Open Society Foundation. Recently, the MacArthur foundation has also been given a large million dollar grant. This public health research being funded is very flawed as are studies funded by Bloomberg.

CPRC President, Dr. John Lott Jr., has already exposed the flaws in many of these studies including a report on the Analysis of School shootings funded by Bloomberg which claimed that 44 shootings occurred in schools and colleges nationwide since the Newtown, Conn. massacre on Dec. 14, 2012 and Feb. 10 of this year. Out of the 44 shootings, a total of 28 died. To dramatize their numbers, Bloomberg’s groups emphasized that one of these attacks occurred every 10 days.

But their statistics are not what they seem. Included in the numbers are suicides. Also included are late night shootings taking place in school parking lots, on their grounds or even off school property, often involving gangs. As “shootings,” they also include any incident where shots were fired, even when nobody was injured.

Look at some of the cases included in their misleading statistics:

•A student at Eastern Florida State College retrieved his gun from his car when two men attacked him. One of the men was striking the student with a pool cue, and the student fired his gun wounding him. The gun was legally stored in the student’s car and the police found that he had acted in self-defense.

•A 19-year-old was killed at 9pm in a field near the Hillside Elementary School in San Leandro, California.

•A professor at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology committed suicide in an empty classroom.

•A 23-year-old man committed suicide late at night on school grounds when no one was around the Algona High/Middle School in Iowa.

•A 38-year-old man was shot to death at 2am on the grounds of the Clarksville, Tennessee High School.

•A 19-year-old man committed suicide in the parking lot of a Portland, Maine high school. No one at the school was threatened.

CPRC doesn’t have millions from Bloomberg and Soros but we believe we have the support of the American people. That is why we are asking for your help to fund research to counter these studies and expose their flaws.

Dr. John Lott Jr., economist and author of More Guns, Less Crime decided to launch the CPRC since it is the only organization of its kind that will provide honest, accurate academic quality analysis of these issues.

nRA board member Ted Nugent: “Asian culture” is “evil”

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-artful-dodger/

If various rock ‘n’ roll memoirs are to be believed, nearly every American musical group of the 1960s had at least one member who evaded the Vietnam-era draft by scheming to fail a physical examination through some combination of drug use, sleep deprivation, neglected hygiene, deliberate starvation, feigned homosexuality, and assumed bizarre behavior. Johnny Rogan’s biography of the Byrds, for example, describes such plotting by two of the group’s members, frontman Gene Clark and drummer Michael Clarke:

Gene had previous escaped [the draft] due to a knee injury incurred when he played football in his teens. But the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatters disease was remedied by rest and physiotherapy, so it was not long before he was re-examined. This time, he feigned madness, employing whatever drugs were at his disposal to enhance the desired effects. “Gene was living with me at the time,” Clarke told me. “We did a programme and it was hard getting Gene out of the draft. They weren’t buying that bullshit about his leg. I kept him up for a week. Thanks to massive amounts of dexedrine he screwed up all the tests. They looked up his ass. It was seriously demeaning. But we were the best of brothers and I helped get him out.”

“When I went in, it was major shit. I wore these stupid pants and sandals. I sat there cross-legged and suggested I had a problem. They were waiting for somebody to try and get out and their attitude was ‘You’re front line, dude.’ I got through the tests. There was a form with the question, ‘Are you a homosexual?’ I wrote ‘No!’, then changed it to ‘Yes’, then ‘No’ again, then crossed it out a few times. I knew all the answers and freaked out. I followed the yellow line and I had to take a piss. They give you this thing to carry and I threw it down on the floor and went over in the corner and took a piss. The guy said, ‘This is very serious … You can’t do that!’ I turned around and accidentally ended up pissing on him. Then somebody tried to take my stuff, so I jumped in and said, ‘Take your hands off my stuff or I’ll kill you. I’m serious’ I’d got my hands round this guy’s neck. Right away, they sent me to the psychiatrist’s office. They were looking at me thinking, ‘Is he for real or is he bullshitting us?’ There was one guy there with long hair who went to Vietnam, but I didn’t. You had to be good. The psychiatrist asked me, ‘Have you ever done it with a woman?’ I said, ‘No!’ He said, ‘Have you ever wanted to?’ I said, ‘No!’ He said, ‘Have you ever done it with a man?’ I said, ‘No!’ He was just looking at me — that’s all he was doing. Finally, he said, ‘Get the hell out of here.’ They ran me down the red line and booted my ass out of there — ‘Get out of here, you faggot bastard, schizoid homosexual, not fit for military service at any time — 4-F.’ I ran out the door, jumped in my Porsche, beat it back to the beach and was laughing all the way. If you think I wanted to go to Vietnam, you were out of your mind. I was making too much goddamn money.”

In an interview with published by High Times magazine in 1977, Ted Nugent claimed he had engaged in similar behavior to deliberately fail a physical exam in 1967 and be qualified 4-F (not acceptable for military service):

Interviewer: How did you get out of the draft?

Ted Nugent: Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, mother****in’ rock and roll musician.

I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ’em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf*cker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was — ’cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball — I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You f*cking swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.

They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?

Questioned about that account some thirty years later (by which time Nugent was known as a staunch political conservative, a supporter of the Republican Party, and an advocate of hunting and gun ownership rights) in an interview with the UK’s Independent newspaper, Nugent disclaimed that previous account of his draft-evading activities as story he had made up and fed to a gullible High Timesreporter and asserted that he actually had avoided the draft through the legitimate means of a student deferment:

He has the rage, but he doesn’t have the war record. At 18, he was called up to serve in Vietnam. “In 1977 you gave an interview to High Times [the cannabis user’s journal of record] where you claimed you defecated in your clothes to avoid the draft.”

“I never shit my pants to get out of the draft,” says Nugent, good-naturedly.

“You also told them you took crystal meth before the medical — as a result of which, and I quote: ‘I got this big juicy 4F.'”

“Unbelievable. Meth,” he replies, in a tone of deep sarcasm. “Yes, that’s my drug of choice. You’ve got to realise that these interviewers would arrive with glazed eyes and I would make stories up. I never did crystal meth. And I never pooped my pants.”

“But you did dodge the draft.”

“I had a 1Y [student deferment]. I enrolled at Oakland Community College.”

“You said then that you wanted ‘to teach the stupid bastards in the military a lesson’. I’d have thought you’d have loved the army. Guns. Travel. Danger.”

“Back then, I didn’t even understand what World War II was.”

“So basically,” — I admit that I have, unaccountably, started to speak Nugent — “you didn’t want to get your Michigan ass blown off in Vietnam.”

“Correct. I did not want to get my ass blown off in Vietnam.”

Clearly, though, Ted Nugent didn’t make up the tale about his snorting crystal meth before his pre-induction physical as a one-off jape just to fool a High Times reporter, as he said the same thing in an interview with CREEM magazine:

Q: “Are you still a hard case on drugs?”

A: “Real hard. I have never done a drug in my life. I have never smoked a joint in my life. I took two tokes off a joint with the MC5 one night and almost gagged and thought it was stupid. And that’s it. I took two tokes off a joint once. I snorted one line of cocaine. And one line of crystal methedrine before my draft physical — but God, that was worth it because I wanted to see the look on the Sergeant’s face. That’s it for drugs.”

An analysis of Ted Nugent’s Selective Service classification record doesn’t prove or disprove either version of the story. He did indeed receive a high school student deferment (1-S) in 1967 and then (as he stated) a college student deferment (2-S) in 1968. However, he was reclassified as “available for military service” (1-A) in 1969 and then subsequently rejected as a result of a physical examination and given a 1-Y classification. (The 1-Y classification denoted persons “qualified for service only in time of war or national emergency” and was generally assigned to registrants who had exhibited medical conditions that were limiting but not disabling.) After the 1-Y classification was eliminated by the Selective Service at the end of 1971, Nugent was reclassified as 4-F (“registrant not qualified for any military service”).

So, Ted Nugent did have a student deferment for part of the time he was eligible for the Vietnam-era draft,but he also did fail a physical examination and receive a medical exemption (which, as far as we know, he has neither acknowledged nor explained). But in the absence of more specific information about the results of that physical examination and the reasons for his medical exemption, it cannot be ascertained how truthful the account Nugent gave to High Times magazine back in 1977 might be. (Ted Nugent’s press representative did not respond to a request for additional information about this subject.)

28 May 2006.

NRA suddenly announced a new president this week: Fox News contributor and Iran-Contra figure Oliver North. When people pointed out that the NRA's new president was a gunrunner, Fox News hostedNorth and tried to deny that he ran guns. If you want to be technical about it, North sold missiles to Iran so he could buy guns from a terrorist and give them to death squads in Nicaragua, with the help of a Panamanian dictator. So all in all, calling what North did as just "running guns" is being extremely charitable.

And North wasn't done. He called it "civil terrorism" to push for any legislation concerning guns. He also called Parkland survivors pushing for new legislation criminals, and complained that they were engaging in harassment. Parkland survivors promptly mocked North on Twitter, and the father of Jamie Guttenberg, who was murdered at Parkland, told North that his attacks don't matter.

Also: Violence against women is a guns issue, but the NRA has it completely backward. The truth is that the presence of a gun in a house where there is domestic violence drastically increases the likelihood that women who live there will be killed or injured.

Lastly: If this all wasn't bad enough, accused child molester and NRA board member Ted Nugent spoke at the NRA Women's Leadership Forum.

https://www.alternet.org/nra-annual-meeting-feature-ted-nugents-racist-spearchucker-gun-line

2018 National Rifle Association (NRA) annual meeting in Dallas, TX, will spotlight a gun line sponsored by NRA board member Ted Nugent, who branded the product his “American spearchucker series,” a reference to an obscure racial slur used to disparage Africans.

The multiday meeting, which begins May 3, will feature exhibits in which manufacturers of guns, ammunition, firearm parts and accessories, and tactical gear can showcase their merchandise. Additionally, the meeting will feature several speaking events, including a May 4 “Leadership Forum” where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will speak.

Aagil Arms -- a “sister company of Tuff Zone and the official manufacurer (sic) of the Ted Nugent Signature Series upper assemblies” -- will be featured in the meeting’s exhibit hall. According to an image of the product's packaging Nugent posted on Facebook in December, the line is officially called “Ted Nugent’s American Spearchucker Series AR15-style Upper Kits.” An "upper," terminology for an upper receiver, is a firearm component that is used, along with other parts, by enthusiasts to assemble their own custom weapons. Nugent is no stranger to using racial slurs. He has repeatedly used the N-word, called then-President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” in 2014, and once defended apartheid in South Africa while calling African people “a different breed of man” who “still put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands.”

Nugent on April 30 tweeted that he will “see you all in Dallas standing against tyranny.” He has caused controversy during past annual meetings for comments he has made, including his 2012 statement that he would be “dead or in jail” if Obama was re-elected, and his 2015 comment about shooting then-Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) during a speech and offer to “pilot” a boat that would take Obama to Kenya.

Ted Nugent.

This tough-talking, gun-totin’ rascal told the magazine High Times in a 1977 interview that he avoided the draft during Viet Nam by taking crystal meth and pooping his pants. He confirmed this story to the Detroit Free Press in 1990, saying he used the inside of his pants as his bathroom for a week to purposely fail the physical. Nugent later denied this, saying he got his deferment by enrolling in college, but that is not true as his actual deferments for 1969 and 1972 were for physical, psychological or moral reasons. It seems he strongly believes in our rights, just not that they are worth fighting for on his part.

http://www.salon.com/**2015**/04/15/ted_nugent_tells_nra_audience_he_would_like_to_gun_down_harry_reid/

At the National Rifle Association’s annual convention — a meeting that featured appearances by legitimate Republican presidential candidates like Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Ted Cruz — conservative firebrand and ’70s rock icon Ted Nugent called Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid a “lying prick” and said, if the opportunity arose, he’d “shoot him.

Media Matter’s Timothy Johnson reported that during the question and answer section following Nugent’s speech, he was asked, “How and why did the NRA ever endorse Harry Reid to serve as the front man of Osama Obama?

As Johnson pointed out, the NRA never actually endorsed Senator Reid — but the organization did once contribute $4,000 to his reelection campaign. The relationship soured, however, after Reid introduced a bill that would have expanded background checks and closed gun show sales loopholes.

Nugent responded to this question about the minion of “Osama Obama” by calling this “possibly the most important question we could confront here because it is so confusing and, on the surface, so diabolical.”

After performing a brief Harry Reid impersonation, he called the senator “a lying prick.” Nugent then went even further, saying: “And because the left has no soul, he admitted he’s a lying prick, and we haven’t sent him to Cuba yet.”

Nugent mocked NRA members who have threatened to quit because the organization donated to Reid, or because Grover Norquist is on the board of directors, or because the NRA “sends too much shit in the mail. Shut up! There are Marines with no legs who fought for your freedoms. I don’t want to hear about too much mail.”

“The NRA is it!” he shouted. “If your child is dying, and there is only one way to get to the doctor, would you get on Harry Reid’s boat to get there?” When audience members started mumbling that they wouldn’t, Nugent shouted back, “Then your child’s dead!”

“I’d get on the boat, get there, and then I’d shoot him.”... mma video

Bringing a self-proclaimed extreme right-winger to speak at the University of Wisconsin created a spark that nearly blew the roof off Memorial Union Theater Wednesday night. The conservative student organization Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow hosted a lecture by rock-legend turned political-activist Ted Nugent. Security guards and a police dog were present at the rowdy room filled with Nugent supporters and objectors of all ages.

Nugent drew a large crowd from the UW campus and surrounding areas. Tom Talbot, who traveled from Portage to hear Nugent, said the rocker's blunt opinions were entertaining.

Talbot said Nugent's political outlook is "from the heart."

UW freshman Jason Bergsbaken said although the lecture was politically incorrect, it was still exciting.

"Some of the stuff was shocking, I agreed with some of it, but most of it was a little over the top," Bergsbaken said.

Nugent's ideas drew a variety of reactions — from raised eyebrows and boos to screams of "Cat Scratch Fever!"

UW senior James Sands said the strong-willed speaker made several inappropriate comments.

"I think he's a moron — he's a raging idiot," he said. "He just likes to do it for the publicity."

Nugent spoke extensively about his anti-substance stance and the "assholes who gave up their life to be hip."

Nugent joked about speaking "at" his fellow drug-influenced rockers such as Ozzy Osbourne and Kurt Cobain.

"I got to jam with Jimmy Hendrix— he laughed at me because I wouldn't take his drugs, and I said, 'Jimmy, you've got a booger hanging out of your nose,'" Nugent said.

UW sophomore Stephen Collins said Nugent's ideas were clear, but that he wrongly attacked people with substance abuse problems.

Clearly expressing his Republican leanings, Nugent riled up the crowd with conservative credo.

"A conservative gets up early to be productive, driven by the pure instinct to be self sustaining," Nugent said. "A liberal thinks they can sleep in, and someone will cover their lame ass."

Nugent also touched on his conservative views on unemployment.

"When I see a beggar on the street, I say, 'Hey asshole, there's a help-wanted sign right over there!'" he said.

The already rowdy crowd at the theater erupted when a member of the audience criticized Nugent's non-involvement in the Vietnam War.

Nugent ended the prolonged verbal exchange between the two with the short demand, "Eat shit and die."

The argument allowed both parties to express their viewpoints, despite the chaotic shouting match, according to CFACT president Adam Ostrum.

"I like to hear both sides of issues, and it's something that should be encouraged on this campus," Ostrum said.

Nugent praised political activism with his unique brand of lobbying.

"It's time to break out the crowbar of independence and bop some politicians on the head."

12. Ted Nugent: Wildlife Populations “Actually Increase” Because Of Energy Development. In a column for The Daily Caller, National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent falsely claimed that wildlife populations “actually increase and expand” in areas where pipelines, oil drilling, fracking, coal mining, and other forms of energy production occur. The next day, Nugent posted to Facebook that he wanted to drive “over the rotting corpses” of “algore [sic] & all the pathetic greenies.”

OMG

DENTON – Greg Abbott defended his appearance Tuesday with ’70s rocker Ted Nugent, saying he’d rather be associated with the abrasive Motor City Madman than be Wendy Davis connected to the president.

“I don’t think there is anybody in the state that is disliked more than Barack Obama,” Abbott said after a get-out-the-vote rally with about 75 supporters at El Guapo’s restaurant.

Abbott, the attorney general and Republican front-runner for governor, came under fire afterinviting Nugent to join him on the campaign trail.

Just last month, Nugent called Obama a “subhuman mongrel,” and has described feminists and female politicians as “varmints,” “fat pigs,” and “dirty whores.”

He has used the “N-word” in radio interviews and been called racist for his views on blacks.

Both Republican and Democratic opponents slammed Abbott for staging joint appearances with Nugent on Tuesday in Denton and Wichita Falls.

Lisa Fritsch, a primary opponent who has been a leading voice for black Republicans, said Abbott put the election and future of their party at risk by offending key voters who “are leaving this party in droves.”...

Ted Nugent

Misdeeds: Went from heading a psychedelic band in the '60s to touring in militia fatigues and howling "suck my machine gun, Obama." Hangs out with Sean Hannity and Massey Coal's Don Blankenship, and played guitar at Don's '09 "Friends of America" mountaintop removal celebration. Said our problems in Iraq are caused by the fact that we decided "not to Nagasaki them." As an inspiration to today's obtuse libertarians, he purports to despise all "Big Government" regulation and handouts, yet as the national spokesman for DARE, Ted receives federal funds to help local law enforcement regulate drug use.

Alex Jones

Alex Jones is perhaps the most well-known conspiracy theorist in the country. For years, he has spun any number of current events into elaborate conspiracies, usually involving a secretive New World Order of global elites that are supposedly running the world behind the scenes.

Jones believes the government actively carried out or was otherwise involved in the 9-11 attacks, the Space Shuttle Colombia disaster, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the mass shootings in Newtown and Aurora. (He also recently suggested a government "weather weapon" could possibly have created the devastating tornado in Oklahoma.)

Despite Jones' widely-known endorsement of absurd conspiracies, his show has become a favorite of gun activists, particularly Pratt and Nugent.

Pratt has also been visiting Jones' show for years, including several appearances so far in 2013. As recently as May 20, Pratt was on Jones' show labeling President Obama a "full-bore Marxist" who stole the 2012 election.

Pratt has also used appearances on Jones' show to endorse bizarre conspiracies about mass shootings. In a July 2012 appearance with Jones, Pratt suggested the mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, may have been staged. Discussing the shooting, Jones asked Pratt, "am I wrong for being suspicious?" Pratt responded: "I don't think you're wrong," citing as evidence the failed Fast and Furious program. Pratt elaborated, saying that while he does "think the evil of the human heart is sufficient to account for somebody that wants to go and shoot people at random," nonetheless "we have to admit that maybe this is something that our government is capable of. Because this is only 12 people murdered -- they were good for 400 in Fast and Furious."

Later in the same appearance, Pratt thanked Jones "for having me on, because we have a much bigger voice because of you, my friend."

Nugent has also visited Jones' show to push back against efforts to strengthen gun laws (he has made at least three different appearances on Jones' show this year), and the two men share an apparent admiration for each other. In February, Nugent called into Jones' show and praised the radio host for doing "God's work." During that appearance, Nugent told Jones, "what you are sharing with the radio listeners out there is indisputable, it's irrefutable." Jones returned the favor, lauding the NRA for "getting hardcore."

When they aren't showering each other with niceties, Nugent and Jones' conversations regularly veer off the rails. Nugent has used his spots on Jones' show to call forObama's impeachment and engage in conspiracies about government attempts to seize Americans' guns.

During a characteristic appearance on Jones' show in April, Nugent suggested that the recent epidemic of suicides among veterans and active duty military on their supposed frustration with President Obama for "violating" the Constitution:

---

National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent appeared on Alex Jones' radio show where the two swapped conspiracy theories about Benghazi and other topics, called for President Obama's impeachment, and praised the National Rifle Association's new "hardcore" direction. Nugent claimed that Jones, a prominent pusher of 9/11 and New World Order conspiracies, is doing "God's work" and that the information on his radio show is "indisputable" and "irrefutable."

Nugent legitimizing Jones is the second recent instance where a high-profile member of NRA leadership has conducted an interview on conspiracy-geared programming. On February 16, NRA president David Keene appeared on the television show of Gary Franchi, a well-known 9/11 truther.

Jones, one of the country's leading conspiracy theorists, describes himself as "one of the very first founding fathers of the 9-11 Truth Movement" and has also promoted the existence of FEMA concentration camps as part of his claim that President Obama is transforming the United States into "something that resembles Nazi Germany." He has also theorized that the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was "carried out by intelligence agencies" with "Bill Clinton's involvement."

Furthermore, Jones believes that Obama's birth certificate is a forgery and has pushed conspiracy theories involving weather control, mass sterilization by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and an effort by the government to use "estrogen-mimicking" juice boxes to "encourage homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children."

Nugent's appearance was billed by Jones' InfoWars.com website as "a surprise call in to thank Alex Jones for waking him up to the NWO."

Ted Nugent is the former Amboy Dukes guitarist and enthusiast for "self defense" gun rights, hunting, meat eating, vigilante killing and a drug free lifestyle. At the 2005 Meeting of the National Rifle Association in Houston, Nugent announced that, "No one is allowed at our barbecues unless they are an NRA member." He also demanded, "Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em! To show you how radical I am, I want to carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em." The convention audience erupted in cheers.

Since the early 1990s Nugent has become both popular and criticized for his conservative beliefs and his anti-drug and anti-alcohol stances. He is a national spokesman for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, advocating the "natural highs" to be found in an outdoor lifestyle.

Nugent is a strong advocate of the right to bear arms. When interviewed by Texas Monthly editor Evan Smith in season 5 of TexasMonthlyTalks he said, "I would rather that [a victim of violent crime] in Massachusetts last month who was taking her daughter to soccer when they were carjacked by a recidivist maggot, who had been in the prison system all his life but was let out again because we feel sorry for him, maybe he had a bad childhood. Instead of her being hijacked and murdered, I'd rather she just shot the bastard dead... But in Massachusetts, somebody decided she can't do that. So she's dead. I would rather she was alive and the carjacker was dead."^[32]

Nugent currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association (NRA).^[33][34]

Conflicts with animal rights groups

Nugent once said in an interview, "I'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their lungs."^[35] In 2000, Bhaskar Sinha was jailed briefly following an incident outside a department store in San Francisco in which he threatened and physically assaulted Nugent, who in turn took Sinha into custody until San Francisco Police arrived and arrested the protester. However, protesters claim that Nugent started the altercation by spitting in one of the protester's faces when he was offered an anti-fur flyer.^[36]

Nugent has reported receiving death threats against him and his family from animal rights activists. On the Penn & Teller's Bullshit! episode about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Nugent claimed, "We've got reports and files with law enforcement across America where the animal rights extremists are on record threatening to kill my children on the way to school because we eat pheasant." In 2006 he stated in an interview that "anyone who thinks hunting is terrible can kiss my ass."^[37]

In a 1992 radio interview, Nugent referred to Heidi Prescott of the Fund for Animals as a "worthless whore" and a "shallow slut," asking "who needs to club a seal, when you can club Heidi?" He was ordered by a court to pay Prescott $75,000.^[38]

Nugent owns a hunting ranch near Jackson, Michigan, called Sunrize Acres. Anti-hunters claim this fenced facility offers "canned" hunts. Nugent has said, "I understand the criticism from those who say canned hunting violates the ethic of fair chase," though he still operates the facility, and refers to it as "high fence hunting". Nugent was interviewed in October 2011 by Field & Stream magazine regarding "canned" hunts.^[39] At Sunrize Acres he personally guides customers on a hunt for trophy bull bison ($5,000), Russian boar, or white-tailed deer ($1,000 each).^[40]

The band Goldfinger released a song called "FTN", which is critical of Ted Nugent.^[41]

Illegal hunting charges

In September 2009, Nugent embarked on a hunt near Somerset, El Dorado County, California. He was accompanied by a guide and a cameraman, filming for his Outdoor Channel show "Spirit of the Wild." The video taken appeared in an episode of the show first broadcast on February 9, 2010. California Fish and Game wardens who watched the broadcast noticed that it showed Nugent killing a very young buck which had been attracted by commercial bait. Both the killing of such a young deer and the use of bait are crimes under California state law. On August 13, 2010, he pled no contest in Yuba County to two misdemeanors: illegally baiting a deer, and failing to have a deer tag signed by a government official after a kill. He was fined USD $1,750 by the court and was banned from hunting in California until June 2012. In April 2012 Nugent signed a plea bargaining agreement to plead guilty to two misdemeanors for illegally taking a bear after shooting one earlier at a bait station. He will be fined $10,000, banned from hunting in Alaska and on Federal land for one year and must complete two years on federal probation.^[42]

Politics

:{Nugent is a strong and vocal supporter of the U.S. Republican Party and various associated Conservative causes, particularly gun rights and hunter's rights.^[43] He is known for his outspoken, often piquant political statements: in 2007 and 2008, during a period of years when he publicly speculated about running for governor of Michigan, Nugent singled out prominent Democratic politicians with violent or vulgar rhetoric or gestures.

At a concert on August 21, 2007, Nugent made controversial comments about Democratic Party presidential aspirants Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and California's senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. He complained, "Obama's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun."^[44][45] Referring to Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (in office 2003-11), during performances he would frequently interject "Jennifer Granholm, kiss my ass" into his songs, and shoot an arrow at her likeness. In a 2007 interview, in discussing running for governor of Michigan, he stated that Granholm "is not doing an ugly job, but as the perfect woman, she is scrotumless".^[46]}:

:{Although Nugent has never run for government office, in the 2000s, he publicly speculated about doing so on several occasions. In May 2005, he announced he was "getting real close to deciding to run" for governor of Michigan in 2006, while in 2007, he talked about running for that office in 2010. During the latter period, he stated, "Michigan was once a great state. Michigan was a state that rewarded the entrepreneur and the most productive, work-ethic families of the state. Now the pimps and the whores and the welfare brats are basically the state's babies."^[31]

Earlier, Nugent had been rumored to be under consideration by the Illinois Republican Party as its candidate in that state's 2004 Senate race, given his roots in Palatine, Illinois.^[47]}:

:{In May 2007 Nugent criticized rap metal band Rage Against the Machine after singer Zach de la Rocha's onstage proclamation at the 2007 Coachella festival that the "current administration . . . should be hung and tried and shot."

Nugent appeared on the Hannity & Colmes program on Fox News and said "We've disagreed with a lot of administrations in the past, but none of our rhetoric included threatening lives, these guys are over the top, but they're the lunatic fringe that even your average democrat and liberal doesn't agree with. But unfortunately, nobody is silencing these guys — or not necessarily silencing, but condemning this outrageous violence that they're recommending."^[48] Critics cited this as hypocritical given his many aggressive and controversial political statements and described him as a Conservative extremist.^[44][49]}:

In July 2008, Nugent declared "I was serious when I threatened to run for office in the past if I cannot find a candidate who respects the U.S. Constitution and our sacred Bill of Rights."^[50] When asked by Imagineer magazine in a 2010 interview about what he would do if elected to political office, he responded: "Slash the living hell out of the waste and corruption and the outrageous army of do-nothing bureaucrats. I would fire every government worker whose job I would deem to be redundant and wasteful. No able-bodied human being would ever get a handout again."^[51]

On July 17, 2008, during the presidential election season and shortly before the Republican presidential nominating convention, Nugent expressed his skepticism about presumptive GOP Presidential nominee John McCain stating that McCain was "catering to a growing segment of soulless Americans who care less what they can do for their country, but whine louder and louder about what their country must do for them. That is both un-American and pathetic."^[52] He was a weekly contributor to the newspaper, the Waco Tribune-Herald until 2009.^[53][dead ^link] He has been a special deputy sheriff in Lake County, Michigan since 1982 and he also has been a reserve deputy constable in McLennan County, Texas.

At a 2009 West Virginia rally sponsored in part by Massey Energy, Nugent "defended mountaintop removal mining," according to reporters on the scene. "On behalf of the Nugent family, I say, start up the bulldozers and get me some more coal, Massey," Nugent was recorded as saying.^[54]

During an interview with Piers Morgan, Nugent denied that he considered himself homophobic, saying "I’m repulsed at the concept of man-on-man sex, I think it’s against nature. I think it’s strange as hell, but if that’s what you are I love you. I’m not going to judge another’s morals. I say live and let live. I have friends that are gay."^[55][56] As a reward for entertaining U.S. troops in Iraq in 2004, he visited Saddam Hussein's war room. "It was a glorious moment. It looked like something out of Star Wars. I saw his gold toilet. I shat in his bidet."^[57] Nugent also said: "Our failure has been not to Nagasaki them."^[57]

Nugent was initially scheduled to speak at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on August 28, 2010, but subsequently cancelled due to a scheduling conflict.^[58]

At a Republican event in February 2012, Nugent said, "The whole world sucks, but America still sucks less," followed by, "But with this administration, we are catching up."^[59]

On March 2, 2012, Nugent endorsed Mitt Romney for president.^[60]

In a Romney stump speech at the 2012 NRA Convention in St. Louis, Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." He also compared the Obama administration to coyotes who needed to be shot, and encouraged voters to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November."^[61] Nugent received a visit from the Secret Service for these remarks.^[62] Following these comments, commanders at Fort Knox opted not to allow him to perform at a previously scheduled event with REO Speedwagon and Styx.^[63]

Following the reelection of President Obama on November 6, 2012, Nugent posted several angry tweets on Twitter:

"Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America" (Posted November 7, 2012 10:36 am)
"What subhuman varmint believes others must pay for their obesity booze cellphones birthcontrol abortions & lives" (Posted November 7, 2012 11:30 am)
"Goodluk America u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools" (Posted November 7, 2012 11:34 am) ^[64]
