the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day
the two important somebody gave me this recently check that out real McCoy that's
the real McCoy
yeah they find these on my property outside of Waco they're all over the place
in Texas I mean
this this land was occupied for a long time by Native Americans think it's
something think it's
obsidian I don't know what it's made out of I don't know much about rocks but
it's something
special about holding one of those isn't it always I killed a goose with a Port
Orford cedar arrow
real natural turkey feathers built by George Nichols at Jackson Archery in the
30s
the arrows the head I found on the Rouge River in Detroit and I was shooting a
U longbow I might
have been eight so you found a Native American arrowhead and you use a 1930s
wooden arrow
with real turkey feathers high high profile shield cut that George Nichols made
who I eventually got to
hunt with who made all of Fred bear's arrows there's much mojo that that that
emits from my spirit because
I've been in such unique environments but anyhow I went to uh I went to the
what was the name of the
cemetery why Wildwood cemetery and Grand River and and six mile road in Detroit
right off the Rouge
River there's a cemetery there and the geese always landed in the ponds and the
little cricks that ran
off the Rouge River and I snuck in there with my cousin Mark Schmidt and I
still have that you would long
get an electric tape around it because it started to split a little bit from
1955 maybe wow and there
was some Canadian geese on a pond and we snuck in almost like ishi like like
org from the year three
and sneaking in through the reeds and the nasty shit and I drew back and shot
that goose and it flopped
all around but we got that goose ran to the fence climbed over the fence and
took it home I think it's
amazing but I would feel so nervous to lose one of those heads there's
something about those heads
like I don't think you're supposed there's a lot of places where you're not
supposed to pick them up
which I find very bizarre yeah when I was in Nevada we were hunting mule deer I
was with Steve Rinella
and I found one there and they informed me that you're not supposed to pick it
up huh what man has
the authority to tell you that I don't understand well I think they the idea is
that it's an artifact
and that you're supposed to just leave it there which I don't understand
because
like either I'm allowed to pick it up and it should go to some sort of uh
some museum or something I mean I don't know where they would keep them I would
like to leave it there
hand-me-downs um continue the mojo pass the mojo on don't you think the mojo
handed from hand
to hand from generation to generation would have more spirit div production
spirit productivity
than leaving it on what they might call sacred grounds yeah I mean the native
americans some
native american folks have had a real problem with people picking up artifacts
and claiming them as
their own I think that's that's the issue with it but um for me I mean we were
on a bow hunting trip
um and to find an arrow and to know that someone some native american had been
in that same area
hundreds and hundreds of years ago and you know hunting for their food to feed
their family
in that same ground and then I had picked up a part of their weapon it's pretty
amazing well it
might not be historical artifact but I bring I come bearing you've got a lot of
stuff there's like
what do you got there come and take it I brought you this they have one at the
exact oh
it's signed except this one's autograph so yeah all right I like it they have
one just like that
at the range in austin signed by our governor let's put that and I also just
because I ran out of
the garage with them also a come and take it hat oh come and take it hat sign
also a very joe rogan
I will not comply autographed hat and the reason I'm grabbing these because it's
a great story this
is a great story in my life you can have that one then uh reelect that and this
is a
ted nugent sunrise safaris will hunt for food and because I gave these to my
grandkids over the holidays
this is so important I don't know if you carry a flashlight with you but
starting today you will
this little browning flashlight from my buddy george britain at at britain's
archery in tarpon
springs florida it is so bright and then when you're going to your stand in the
morning oh you got a
green one too so you don't double it up nice and then this will go super bright
middle and low
that's amazing that it's that bright and so small i use it 10 times a day when
we came to the studio
earlier i had to show it uh show it jeff where the lock was 360 lumens that's a
lot for a little
tiny thing like i used to carry a big ass flashlight in my pocket well and it
clips onto your pants with
that little or your hat when you wear a cap oh right yeah yeah i wear one of
those when i go into the
woods so merry christmas happy thanksgiving happy birthday this should these
are enough gifts for our next
four or five years if we don't run into each other again i like it thanks very
much appreciate it so
my first opening volley okay most important thing joe how are you i'm good how
are you you seem good
thank you you seem good i'm good i'm good i'm good you're healthy you're happy
you're yeah focused
you got a samurai thing going on yes everything's good i'm very happy i want to
know a samurai thing
what do you mean well supreme focus oh dedication to being oneness with any
given endeavor and obviously
if you're arrowing elk with cameron and hunting with steve ranella that's that's
what i call the
samurai touch with nature those guys live that stuff you live that stuff i live
that stuff so i want to
make sure you're feeling good i'm feeling good yeah very fortunate to know
those guys to be able to
have a mentor like my first mentor steve ranella to be able to to have that guy
take me on michigan
boy time yes michigan boy great great tradition so what do you got in this pot
here that's coffee
sir can i have a slug of that there you go let me slug of that black cross so i
bring you positive
spirit and energy and attitude and bring everything goodwill and decency i'm
having the greatest hunting
season of my life i'm shooting some mystical arrows into some sacred pump
stations i'm getting a lot of
venice and donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters and neighbors and
making gifts to the
band and the crew since we haven't toured and everybody is horny to unleash the
musical beast yeah
that is a beautiful thing about that hunters for the hungry program beautiful
nationwide it's incredible
to hunt when i took i do media all the time and the hunting thing always comes
up of course and if they
don't bring it up i make sure i do because it needs to be promoted and
celebrated in the face of
stupidity which boy i have a great story for you you're gonna i don't know you're
gonna love this
you already love me but you're gonna love me more in a moment really yes let me
prepare so anyhow when
i do the media and i explain to them about venison organic renewable nutritious
pure natural healthy
good good win win win win win i never get any pushback not since the 60s and 70s
where hippies pushed
back um because it's universally at least understood in its most basic truism
yeah but whenever i bring up
that the hunters for the hungry has been going on hunters for the hungry sportsmen
against hunger
various state organizations where they distribute natural harvested surplus venison
to homeless shelters
soup kitchens needy families even the glenn becky goes 250 million hot meals a
week a year come on yeah
that can't be true and i go well you got ted nugent talking to you if it's
coming out of my mouth
it's true i do research i don't have opinions i have facts i have 250 250 250
million pure nutritious meals
of venison how many animals is that that's crazy i mean but we kill obviously
you kill uh tens of
millions many many many meals nationwide yeah but it's um that's is that pigs
as well or is it just
elk deer mostly deer probably 90 percent deer not many people donate elk meat
that's plate no
don't i donate to friends but i have to love them dearly well i i'm a generous
loving guy
but i keep the back straps okay i'm generous but i'm not an idiot yeah well the
roasts are pretty damn
good too um i have played on this podcast multiple times you uh shooting pigs
out of a helicopter so
beautiful you're just talking about samurai but it's it's a crazy thing that
like people that don't
understand will look at that and go this is horrible this is awful it's like
you don't understand
invasive species you don't understand the fact that this actually has to be
done and if you're a person
that likes to eat vegetables guess what they're going to eat them all they're
going to destroy them all
like they they need to do something about these animals and there's no way you
can stop them from
breeding there's millions of pigs in texas alone tens of millions yeah if if i
may put the definitive
comment on that yeah please do if you have a problem with killing pigs from a
helicopter you're an
idiot and let me help fix you because we're all idiots at some point in life
because we don't know
nothing there's ignorance and i've been ignorant i'm currently ignorant on how
to weld i need to learn
that but i admit my ignorance so that i don't up a weld i get a guy who's not
ignorant about welding
so let me fix the ignorant out there and see if i can't weld some intelligence
into their otherwise
craving mind for information when we kill pigs from a helicopter it benefits
the environment
because they destroy the environment they erode everything and it causes devastation
to waterways and
riverine habitat and just every habitat so we're saving the environment so shut
up we're saving
agriculture because they destroy tens of millions of dollars of agriculture
every year so we're saving
out that's i think that's just in texas yeah just just texas not to mention california
yeah all over
mississippi and so when we when we kill pigs from a helicopter we have created
an industry that i
legalized before i called then governor perry and then attorney general greg
abbott it was your idea
the helicopter thing yeah it was against the law you couldn't pay a helicopter
pilot to shoot pigs
only government agents were allowed to do it in texas i know that sounds like a
new york law
but it was in texas and when the my buddy johnson said you can't pay me for gas
i go well it's got
to be expensive the helicopter cross pilot collateralization the the you i can't
pay you
and the game warden go i hope you're not uh paying him to do that i go well who
are you how how
could you possibly think you have the authority to determine whether i pay for
the gas in a
helicopter as i go up and shoot pigs where do you well that's the law when i so
the law was you
couldn't pay for it you couldn't pay for it well why is it like a prostitution
don't start asking
don't ask why right why isn't hillary in prison i mean why isn't she that's my
point the why
question is is if eternal anyhow so i called governor perry and i said rick you've
got to be kidding me
because everybody knows that wild hogs and texas are an absolute scourge of a
liability you're craving
systems by which we can reduce the population and then you make the most
effective solution
illegal he goes i had no idea like well the guitar player will help now i need
to call greg abbott so
on the hunt was chris kobach who happens to be a constitutional attorney really
a wise one really
super one right up there with cruz and so we he googled the laws and he rewrote
them at the camp at the
helicopter camp we're slamming hogs from the helicopter we're saving farmers
money we're saving
the environment we're saving wildlife because hogs kill everything they can
finally they run into
whether it's eggs or fawns and they're delicious and pigs are delicious that's
why we created hogs for
a cause charity where we pick up the dead hogs we process this organic pork and
we feed soup kitchens and
homeless shelters so don't you see it's win win win win everything is good
there's nothing bad about it
well it's not sport well then you share with me your last helicopter hog hunt
where you hit the pigs
every time from a moving helicopter and an erratically running hog shut the
fuck up anyhow so after we
called abbott and and perry and chris kobach these guys are attorneys and i don't
hold it against them
uh they rewrote it two weeks later it was legal and here's the next win we
created an enormous new
industry that is generating tens of millions of dollars for travel hotels
groceries ammo sporting
goods taxidermists ice beer guides outfitters helicopter owners so which win
win win win so i'll go
back to my opening statement if you're against this completely conclusively
definitively win situation
for everything you're an idiot now take the information i just shared with you
and try to
eliminate your idiocy now let i know you're gonna listen to me this is the most
important thing we're
going to talk about today i had a great time with you in la and we talked about
stuff and i talked about
a vegan diet a vegan vegan diet you corrected me i called it vegan you said
vegan my son is one and i
said well don't you know if you really wanted to kill the most things possible
you would be a vegan
because the plow and the disc kills everything preparing the field for your
being your tofu and then
anything that might just be dismembered and slithered out of the way or the
disc of the plow
then they come in with man santa and poison the out of them are you aware joe
rogan that i was
bombarded and i understand you heard from a lot of people that never thought of
it that way that the
preparing of tofu is the most genocidal slaughter procedure available on planet
earth because you have to
kill everything that interferes with the bean production well last night on
yellowstone a very
popular series kevin costner playing the boss hog of the yellowstone ranch
quoted me almost verbatim on
that statement as he confronted some animal rights people on the show last
night and i have been bombarded
lately with people going costner quoted you from the joe rogan interview when
he confronted animal rights
from hundreds of people who saw it the producers share taylor sheridan
according to my son toby is a big
fan of my defiant ballet my defiance ballet and he must have heard our exchange
and it joe it was almost
verbatim of what i said on your podcast that's amazing it's it's awesome
because people who respond
to me said yeah i see what you mean i never thought of it that way well maybe
you should start thinking
the thing is like people think of animals dying as like a deer is like if you
shoot a deer you you
killed an animal but they don't think that if you want to grow lettuce you have
to displace wildlife
you have to do what's called monocrop agriculture and when you have thousands
of acres of soybeans
for example that's not normal it's not normal for the ground to have only one
plant for thousands of
acres and it's not it's not sustainable the only way they can do that is to
kill everything that
was everything and the amount of rabbits that they have to kill gophers songbirds
birds everything
snakes turtles voles trues anything that's ground nesting gets churned up in
the in this
in the in the wheels it's just it's they think of it as you're eating plants
and but you can
do it in a way you're not going to kill anything if you grow your own if you
want to grow your own
vegetables you have your own garden you do it organically you compost all your
you know your
your waste and it's possible to do but most people are not doing that most
people are a part of
something that's awful and most people who eat meat are a part of something
that's awful too and i think
you and i will both agree that factory farm is disgusting disgusting infuriates
me and and you know
before i became a hunter i was on the fence i remember so many pita videos and
i was like i'm
either going to be a vegetarian or i'm going to be a hunter i met ranella he
took me hunting i shot a
mule deer we cooked it over a fire and i heard this is what i'm doing perfect
from it felt like i had
tapped in like i'd opened up a door to some dna that i didn't know existed and
the way i explain to
people that i've never hunted i'm like do you know that feeling when you catch
a fish there's a feeling
when the fish is on the line there's an excitement that doesn't even totally
make sense but what that
excitement is there's there's a primal door that opens up where you realize you
are now going to
feed your family you have this fish it's on the line you're going to pull it in
this wild animal that
you've captured will now it will now give nutrients to your loved ones that is
there's in it's in there
it's in your dna and when you hunt when you the first time i shot that deer and
we were sitting
there cooking and eating it over the fire i knew it right away i was like okay
this is how you're
supposed to eat because you're a smart man this is how you're supposed to eat
meat you're supposed to
go get it yeah that's why i was attacked all throughout my career for murdering
innocent animals
and i knew that what i was doing was pure well there's also the reality that no
animal in the wild
dies in a nice way they don't die of old age tooth fang and claw i've used the
term tooth fang and claw
and nobody knows what that means i have to explain it but when i was growing up
that's the description of nature yeah because it is the description of nature
tooth fang and claw there
is no gentle death in nature it's all prolonged heartbreaking to the human
psyche yeah and real
it's natural that's the way the cycle works i mean there's a reason the the
horrible thing is if if
it didn't happen that way they would overpopulate and it would be terrible
diseases yeah destruction of
habitat yeah and here's the bottom line has to die yes the surplus has to be
utilized with reverence i.e.
garlic and butter revenue generated family hours of recreation well how can you
enjoy killing an
animal because it's a challenge because it's a fulfilling spiritual experience
knowing that
god created these beasts much like the aboriginal people put the the uh the
hieroglyphics on the cave
wall because they they were desperate to adequately convey reverence for this
beast that was difficult to
get close to with a sharp stick they had to dedicate themselves to a higher
level of awareness predator
capabilities reasoning predator in order to kill it cleanly because the mastodon
would kill them if
they didn't kill it cleanly and then that hunter brought not just food food
clothing shelter medicine
tools weapons and more important than any of that and i'm just a stupid guitar
player but i figured this out by the
time i was 12 more important than the tools and the weapons and the food and
the protein and the
the the clothing and the and they're the shelters which was what the bison and
the mastodon provided
there is a sense when you're done of eternal spirit that this isn't just
tangible physical stuff
that something else happens like you talked about around the campfire chewing
on a mule deer back strap
when you teach your grandkids how to catch that fish and fillet that beautiful
fillet off of that
skeleton and fry it up and you eat it it is a it's a physical ballet but it's
equal as a spiritual ballet
because you're for a dirt bag if you're a dunce and if you don't care you're
gonna have to hire somebody
else to do it and that's where the factory farming comes in and i gotta i gotta
comment god bless the
farmers and ranchers because if we want 10 billion chickens a week that's how
you gotta do it yeah i'm
not in this by the way there's a lot of ranchers that they treat their animals
very well and they really
just have one bad moment of one day yes and that's when they get that piston
through the brain and it
happens instantaneously there's there's a lot of great ranchers out there i've
hung out with them
all my life it's not all factory farming like you can buy ethically raised food
the majority of them
are conscientious stewards they they watch the water the soil the air there's a
company that we work
with too it's called butcher box and they great great stuff yeah it's a good
great company and they
source all their food from ethically uh ethical ranchers ethical like their
seafood all it's also
from sustainable sources all their chickens or free-range wild chicken i mean
that's a reaction
free-range chickens that's a proper responsible reaction to the dumbing down of
america where they
don't care right and then of course we can get into the insanity of squaloring
for health care because
people don't care about their health and it starts with diet the sugar is the
most important thing
isn't that funny that like all this health care talk very very very little talk
about losing weight
and and then making sure you eat good nutrition very little talk of it through
this whole pandemic
it was an amazing opportunity for the government to say folks here is one of
the most important things
you can do for your immune system make your body healthy tucker carlson is the
only guy i've seen
that mentions that specifically yeah i think he's a great guy but i tucker's a
fisherman you know
hardcore yeah hardcore flyer yep that's why he was on ranella's podcast and i
was really impressed with
his knowledge of fishing and the fact how he's so dedicated to it and he
understands this physics this
physics of spirituality about the dedication and tying that fly just like the
midge it's an art form
the fly fishing thing is weird though to me because a lot of them just let them
go
they're just out there i can't catch them with fish yeah i know there's some
screams where you
have to and i i admit that but i'm not going to fish there because i like a
slab yeah i i find it
odd i mean i know that's fun to do i've done it before you know i've gone fly
fishing i've gone um
salmon fishing when you have to let them go i get it but it's weird it doesn't
feel right no this is
food you don't let food go it also feel like imagine if you could like shoot an
elk in the head with
like a blunt dart and it knocked them out cold don't do it walked up on them
took a picture of
them and then gave them some smelling salts and got your rhino hunting in africa
the green rhino hunts
right yeah they dart them but i'm not interested in that either i'm not
interested in that well i i
would be interested in going to one of those things because you know there's a
whole conservation effort
to try to save those rhinos and i think it'd be fascinating just to be around
and watch it happen but
sure that you know there was a guy that i had on the podcast many years ago cory
knowles
knowlton or no cory knowlton no well tonight yeah he's a guy who uh there was a
big because he bought
a black rhino tag for hundreds of thousands of dollars and people wanted to
kill him and he did
a great job of explaining the money that he's spending to go and hunt this
black rhino first of
all they had to kill that rhino because that rhino was killing it was a rogue
it was i have my own story i
did one i killed one well let's i'll get that in a second but his story was
interesting because the
black rhino is an endangered animal it is and it was killing all these viable
young males but it
wasn't viable anymore so it wasn't it was no longer breeding but it was still
killing it had to go they
had to do something about it and so the money that he spent doing that goes
towards conservation to
take care of these rhinos and cnn of all places this is back when cnn wasn't
quite as fucked up
they did a really good job explaining this and they followed him around and the
guy who is the
reporter said i have a much better understanding of what this is all about and
it's very confusing
honesty from cnn it's it's a look can i have a copy of that i i would worship
it was just a video of
it but it's it's a very confusing thing to people that don't understand that
the whole reason why the
animals are thriving in africa is because people want to pay to shoot them and
that's like to a lot of
people that is a real problem like they have a real problem with that they're
like that except that
that's that's not all that is i i'm 73 in two weeks you look great uh like i
said if i had some sleep
i'd really be handsome um but i hunt so hard every day i just beat the out of
myself and it's so fun
the only thing you were saying you were on date before we get started you you
you were saying before
the podcast you were on day what 30 what i don't know no this is uh what is it
november 29 i started
mid-august wow and i hunt every day this first day i slept in wow first day i
slept in if it's
raining i duck hunt if it's not raining i deer hunt or i hunt every day i live
on a ranch and
needs to die and i get a kick out of sneaking up on him with a bow and arrow it's
so
difficult that the challenge how many meals do you think you donate every year
to the hunters for the hungry
thousands thousands thousands that's incredible yeah it really is amazing
because if like if you
just donated to soup camps or soup kitchens rather and you donated to any other
organization that feeds
the hungry you know you'd have to spend a load of money to get thousands of
meals and they need
meat they can get dented cans of beans they can get four day old bread but they
can't get meat right
so the majority of soup kitchens and homeless shelters i work with uh project
caritas in waco
and we got butchers in michigan where we donate whole carcasses and again i'm a
sweetheart but i'm
not an idiot i keep the back straps i mean not all of them but most of the back
straps that's what we
like but anyhow um that system regarding the rhino is a perfect example because
it's so controversial
i killed a white rhino in south africa in 95 96 this rhino had killed three
rhinos ravaged entire
agriculture operations and had killed young elephants it was a rogue rhino he
was 20 some years old and
they had to kill him now there's a choice if you want to save rhinos and save
other animals this rogue
rhino has to die you can take tax dollars or however they do it in africa and
you can hire people to go
kill it or you can sell that tag someone who wants the big five or someone who's
fascinated by dangerous
game and big giant animals and i'd never killed a rhino and as grown up rhinos
were the symbol of like
the ultimate dangerous hunt even though they're not um something i learned
later but the money i paid for
that rhino paid for years of salaries for anti-poaching squads to save the rhino
so my killing
the rhino saved many rhinos and other wildlife and the the elephant that i
killed in south africa had
already killed people it came over from the tule herd in south af from botswana
across the uh
the the lompopo river and had ravaged agriculture destroyed villages the
elephant had to die now
that's not the typical scenario it's not like the deer and the elk and the moose
and antelope are
threatening people but they produce surplus the animals have babies every year
the ground doesn't expand
the population increases every spring but the ground not only doesn't expand it
recedes because
of habitat destruction i think it's a hard pill for a lot of people to swallow
well they need to start
swallowing it i know but i don't hear it enough i mean if it wasn't for you and
me i don't think
anybody here this it's hard to hear it it's it's hard to have the conversation
because if you go go to the
average person you say is there ever any reason to shoot a rhino they'd be like
no don't you know that
rhinos are dying okay well what if the rhino's killing other rhinos they'd go
does that happen
like they don't even know they don't even know joe you're talking to the guy
who's been on the front
line of this stuff all my life i know you have but i go to whole foods or i'm
at the starbucks or i'm in
mill valley north of san francisco people come up to me all the time that don't
look like
conservationists or conservatives or ted nugent fans and they initiate this
dialogue with me and within
minutes if they have certain questions about assault weapons or shooting in
dangerous species i i take
a deep breath and i be in the consummate gentleman trying to educate them in a
gentle way but in a
non-compromising way and within minutes because you've been no not at all
because the the edu the
anti-education system has so efficiently dumbed down such a huge swath of our
culture that i feel
like i was just going to share the the gal from starbucks and is it mill valley
or valley mills
north of calip north of san francisco um confronted me and i just took a couple
minutes to explain
surplus and value what did she say to you she goes i can't believe that you
would kill an elk
and i go well have you ever eaten elk i mean what do you eat i mean i'm a vegan
i then explained the
whole tofu slaughter system she goes yeah but still and i go no not no it's not
not yeah but still
that's never a legitimate response you have to ask him does one animal equal
does one life is one life
equal or lives more valuable when they're big and the beautiful thing about
that environment in that
ultra-liberal environment she is aware of the field the the field to table
restaurants in in that area
where they're getting these wild pigs and they're getting the permits to
process them and deer meat
and and wild squirrels and and raccoons they're eating raccoons who's right
where they're up in san
francisco there's a field table specialty restaurant where they need to eat
looters
we need to trap them um so so common sense once explained with adequate
evidence to support the
explanation i find that it's approaching a hundred percent of the time those
hardcore against it literally turn i literally have seen this happen so many
times
oh i didn't know that they always took their head and they kind of wince and go
because they want to
cling to the fantasy that they can save a life by not killing a moose right and
within minutes one
and i do this on our spirit of the wild show you should see you should see the
bombardment of emails
and correspondence i get where when i was on your podcast jesse james who
builds the guns and the hot rods
here in austin he said i fixed his daughters who were viciously against him
hunting and catching fish
and not releasing them until they heard the explanation of how many things die
for a salad
and he said they never heard it like that before and quite honestly neither did
i but i lived this
stuff i i've driven a tractor i see the seagulls and the crows behind me and i
see the the slithering
dismembered creatures that the plow destroyed and that's why the seagulls and
the crows are following
the tractor to eat these wounded animals because in order to get a tofu salad
you got to kill the
shit out of a whole bunch of stuff what i was getting at is that you got to ask
a lot of these
folks too does one life equal one life does the life of one small rodent like a
mouse that gets run
over in a tractor is that the same as an elk because if i shoot one elk i eat
that elk for a year yes
joe i had this conversation with my son rocco who's in the other room how'd
your son become a vegan
he's a very nice guy don't mean to pick on your rock he's an amazing is he in
here right now i love
him mad i love him so much it's immeasurable and he's so smart he's such a
smart ass he's such a
is that a rebellion critical thing because i know that's ted nugent no some
people jump to that
conclusion but he has a digestive condition and he discovered a diet where he
didn't have
complications and that diet ended up being hardcore vegan what is the digestive
complication um he'd have
to explain it but it's a you know that i have a buddy of mine who's a hunter
who got that um
that lone star tick disease oh geez yeah you know that yeah the lone star tick
these people it's
it's something called alpha gal allergic to meat yeah and he's he's a hunter
and he's allergic to meat
he got it during a hunt he had a tick burrow itself it's it's really kind of
ironic he had a tick
burrow itself on a hunt in into his belly button and he didn't realize it was
even in there and then
eventually by the time he got it out there he was feeling sick he didn't feel
good he went and got
diagnosed and he started whenever he'd eat meat he'd have headaches and he'd
feel awful man and he
got this disease which is um there's a lot of uh diseases that come from ticks
folks and lyme disease
is the most notorious one but this uh one from the lone star tick it has
something called it's like
alpha galactose or they're called alpha gal for short i believe i don't know
the exact term of the uh
uh the uh the the enzyme or the whatever it is that it targets but that is what
is in meat and when
you eat meat it makes you really sick and it could last for a year or more you
know so he's in the
process of it right now shout out to my friend evan yeah a moment of education
for our fellow hunters
out there examine the creature you're about to go yes check for ticks check
your body for ticks because
you can get those ticks off within the first 24 hours you generally don't get
the lime and you don't
get um the alpha gal we've had friends that have become really really borderline
paralyzed from tick
bites oh my god that lime disease will you up my brother jeff his young son patrick
is over in
switzerland or germany right now getting treated he's got it so bad and they
don't treat it in the same way
here in the states what's the difference how they treat it over there i have no
idea some kind of
incubation where they turn up the heat and they give them a fever of 104 105
for prolonged time under
control and try to burn it out of them jesus oh it's just horrible generally
over here they just
give you like a shitload of antibiotics yeah if you get the antibody here's a
great here's a tick
story for all you tick hunters out there because if you're hunting you're going
to run into them if
you're in the outdoors especially spring turkey hunting you're sitting on the
grass waiting for a bird to
come in right there and tick epicenter yeah a friend of ours brother two
brothers in uh
jackson county michigan this must have been back in the 70s they both shot deer
during the gun season
and when you gut the deer you cut down the pelvic and on the usually on the hams
on that white hair you
can see ticks especially here in texas well they dismissed it because there
wasn't much knowledge
about that back then well they both found ticks on themselves and the one
brother had another
bronch bronchite bronchial infection so his doctor prescribed hardcore
antibiotics to the one brother
but the other one didn't get the antibiotics and the other one's in a
wheelchair now because it it
metastasized and just crippled him yeah my friend's son got um he got bell's
palsy and he's only five
years old half his face turned paralyzed and it you know was up for quite a
while before it came back
jamie would do me a favor and look that up i want to make sure that i'm saying
this right this alpha
galactose from whatever the it is i know it's alpha gal for short it's from the
lone star tick
lone star tick makes you allergic i mean have it on the mayo clinic so it doesn't
say what alpha gal
stands for it just says alpha gal syndrome oh there it is alpha gal syndrome
alpha gal syndromes
recently recently identified type of food allergy to red meat other products
from mammals in the united
states conditions most often caused by a lone star tick bite the bite transmit
a sugar molecule called alpha
gal i think it's a short shortened version of the real name into the person's
body in some people
this triggers an immune system reaction that later produces a mild to severe
allergic reaction to red
meat such as beef pork lamb or other mammal products lone star tick is found
predominantly in the
southeastern united states and most cases of alpha gal syndrome occur in that
region the tick can also be
found in the eastern and southern central united states the condition appears
to be spreading further north and
west however as deer carry the lone star ticked to new parts of the united
states you know what's
weird have you heard that um a large percentage of deer are carrying covet 19 i
don't believe it
it's true i i just don't based on what the cdc no no no no based on they've
they've these uh hunters have
um captured or um taken samples i think what state was it in that they've wisconsin
a bunch in michigan yeah
found a bunch they found like more than 50 percent carried antibodies yeah but
just how do you measure
50 percent of the deer herd no no no not 50 percent of deer herd 50 percent of
those they tested but
what's interesting is um this was on ronella's podcast which is very
informative meat eater podcast
one of the best hunting podcaster is um the best he goes back in time the uh
the doctor that was uh the
scientist that was studying this and so they had been collecting uh blood
samples on these deer for decades so
they went back a decade ago and there's none and so this is a very recent thing
that these deer and
they don't know how whether it's from the captive cervid industry you know
people come in contact with
these deer you know when people farm deer sure they really don't know they don't
know why and how but
they that's one of the things that they're saying about these viruses like this
idea of stopping the
spread of the virus there's always going to be animal reservoirs and it's it's
almost impossible
to stop a virus entirely and that the best case scenario is the virus
eventually mutates to a point
where it's not nearly as dangerous and they think that that's what happened to
the spanish flu and they
also think that that's what's happening currently with with covet that slowly
over time it'll mutate to a
point where it's not as dangerous and they think that this new one in south africa
even though
everybody's freaking out about this new strain was it called what are they
called omnicom omicron
sounds like one of the transformers the uh they think that this new one is the
all the cases have
been extremely mild yeah basically the symptoms of an average cold yeah and
they're going nuts about
it yeah it's crazy i've been hearing from emergency in new york city they
declared a state of emergency for
what literally is very mild for all the people that have caught new york city
did that i'm shocked to
hear that they overreacted and they're following the i think it's the whole
state the narrative uh new
york yeah i don't know if it's new york state or the city but i think they're
both the new the new
governor's wacky well here's here's what i think is the most important element
of that story where they're
shutting down um people coming in from africa first of all uh biden and his
sidekicks
immediately attack trump for being racist for doing that and now they're doing
it i think that's an
interesting observation uh that is very indicative but i hear from a bunch of
outfitters huge gazillion
dollar industry billions and billions of dollars uh that are generated in south
africa desperately needed
revenues some of the highest revenues brought into that country not just south
africa but whole southern
africa botswana zimbabwe zambia mozambique namibia and they're all shut down
they're all shut down and
all the safari club international dallas club safari houston safari club all
these conventions that
generate billions of dollars per convention yeah these guys can't come and put
on their exhibits and
can't book hunters and a lot of people would dismiss it as a inconsequential
industry it's a
consequential well and it's not just that industry it's also safaris where
people want to go and just
see wild animals sure and that's a huge industry as well and what's really
crazy is this this did not
they don't think it came from africa it was found there they think it was found
there and they've
also found it in brazil they found it in new zealand they found in a few other
places and they think
someone who is a vaccinated traveler because in order to go there you got to be
vaccinated they think a
vaccinated traveler went there like from europe because to travel from europe i
believe most most
of the countries you have to be vaccinated they think that that's how it got
there that someone
picked it up somewhere else brought it to south africa and then in south africa
it was identified
clusterfuck who knows i mean that it might have come from south africa it might
not have but the
point is like why this to shut down africa it seems incredibly cruel like i i
believe you have to give
people freedom you got to give people the opportunity to make their own choices
and i think you know
there's ways to test people it's not hard to test it's one of the things they
did when the people
landed uh one of the planes landed from uh south africa i forget where it
landed but they tested 61 people on
the flight tested positive um 61 and then they put those people in hotels to
quarantine for where it's
over but again very mild symptoms so this is like a huge overreaction in so far
we've seen a whole lot
of that god damn it's i never would have thought that it would be this easy to
get people to not just
comply but to turn on their fellow americans and to i mean not just americans
all over the country
australia has probably got it worse than anybody but one of these hats i gave
it says i will not
comply it's got a picture of a beautiful rifle on it uh a buddy of mine came to
me and had one of
those hats and asked me to sign it and a bunch of his buddies say where can i
get one i'd like one of
those sign so i made a few and after a couple thousand we're at like 50 000 of
those right now
that people go to ted newton.com and get autographed i will not comply hats but
it's not just about
gun confiscation it's about arbitrary punitive capricious nonsense founded decrees
from people
who don't have the authority to give those decrees right yeah that's the
clusterfuck 20. they never
have had it before they never had the ability to tell you you can't work before
and now they do
and they're using it a lot and it's not they're not using it in a rational way
and they're not using it
with a real understanding of the consequences of what they're doing to these
people that have
literally had these businesses through their family for decades and decades
they've worked so hard
and now it's all gone it's all gone and then you look at florida florida made
completely different
choices and florida's fine so it's it doesn't make any sense like if you look
at overall rationally
like if you look at the state of the country and what california did versus
what florida did
right now florida has the lowest numbers of cases per day florida's economy is
booming the real
state economy is booming because people are escaping all these states where you
can't do anything yeah
and they're going to florida yeah we did the first yes in texas we did the
first ufc in florida in
april so the pandemic shut everything down in march we did a ufc in florida in
april i mean we didn't
have a crowd because people were still a little skittish but florida at least
we could go to restaurants
you know you had to wear a mask i was like fine i'll whatever i thought it
would last like a couple more
months and then we'd be over with but florida was the first and they were
widely criticized but now
if you look at it i mean except for times where these these surges where people
love to capitalize
on that those moments and say look you're killing people you're killing people
the if you adjust for
age florida has done as well if not better than any state in the country when
it comes to what happens
with this virus they've shown over time that if you look at how this virus
works and if you look at the
response to it lockdowns don't help they just don't yeah i've been following
that and they definitely
don't help these people's lives and they definitely don't help overdoses they
don't help depression
they don't help people losing businesses that again they've worked for decades
for i i firmly believe
that you have to let people make their own decisions and once we understand
what this is
this is not the black plague it's not killing 50 of the population and there's
all these remedies that
are completely ignored that no one cares about no one cares about vitamins and
vitamin d and the fact
that at one point in time they measured i believe it was 84 of the people in
the icu with covid had
insufficient levels of vitamin d sure and only four percent at sufficient
levels and if you look at the
country in general it's more than 70 of the people are deficient in vitamin d
that's a crazy number and
it's not an expensive thing to get vitamin d if you can get it outside it's
natural you just lay in the
sun you get it which is the best form of the best way yeah that's the free form
but you can buy it as
a supplement but meanwhile you don't i've never heard that once from these
press conferences you
mean fauchy doesn't recommend natural uh intelligent taking care of your health
before you ask for
health care well you know what you could say that too if they want to talk
about vaccines and they
want to talk about all these other things say that say that but also talk about
these other things
talk about quercetin talk about zinc talk about ionophores talk about how
important it is to take
care of your health and drink a lot of water and lose weight there was an
article a peer-reviewed study
recently about what is happening with see if you can find this with overweight
people that overweight
people one of the things that's happening with uh covid and overweight people
is that their body is not
producing the um the antibodies correctly because of the fact that they their
body's so overweight sure
there's something happening there's a process that goes on while you're obese
that doesn't go on with
a person who's lean and that this it's like a significant issue and it comes to
your immune
system and your immune system's response to covid and it's one of the reasons
why so many people
at one point times 78 of the people in the icu for covid were obese well the
new family is in mourning
this year we've lost some great friends and most of them were dramatically
overweight here it is right
here the results of the study show that the majority of covid 19 patients with
obesity
make almost indiscernible amounts of neutralizing anti-sars cov2 antibodies
suggesting that obese
individuals may be at a higher risk to respond poorly to covid 19 infection but
i think overall before we
even get into the minutiae uh i'd like to think that one thing we can
accomplish and you've done so
in your podcast and i salute you and thank you for that is for people to focus
on their lifestyles
yes what what is mr hand putting in mr grocery cart yeah and can you pronounce
the ingredients right and
is it really something you want your children to eat there is a pandemic of blubber
in this country
that is just inexcusable if it says diet or sugar free don't buy it yeah best
thing you can do is go
hunting and have a garden yeah drink water and drink a lot of water literally
the best thing you can do
sugar and the carbs out of your lifestyle my wife shemaine my son rocco my son
the whole nugent family
hardcore intelligent caring conscientious taking care of sacred temple that's
another term i think we
talked about it on our first podcast together that when i was growing up this
was known as the sacred
temple yeah when i use that term to anybody under 50 they don't have the faintest
idea what i'm talking
about just like the term tooth fang and claw that nature isn't cuddly and cute
and it's not bambi
it's savagery it's it's hardcore blood and guts and that's beautiful in its own
way but people have
to start paying attention to what mr hand is putting into mr mouth and here's
another one joe
the chemical warfare that is intentionally waged upon our families with the air
fresheners the chemicals
the downy fabric softeners those are bad the scented but they smell so good
wait a minute
don't smell good it smells smells like a french whore on a bad day wait a
minute that's some poison
shit shemaine and i it smells good if you open somebody's brainwashed you if
you if you open the door
to your house and we've had this happen where our friends invite us to these
beautiful homes
and they open the door to welcome us in we can smell the fabric software we can
smell the plug-in
heated chemical air fresheners yeah it's it's just horrible it can't be good
for you more chemicals
is not better than less chemicals yeah i don't think that those are good for
you flowers are good for
you should have flowers they smell good i like i like dishes full of dirt that's
what i like
do you wear deodorant i do wear to your all natural stuff from a uh uh an
organic store
what is all no chemicals does that work because uh yeah mine work i smell i
smell good do you yeah
give me a good whiff before we get out i will i'm gonna hug you i'm gonna give
you a whiff i keep all
chemicals out of my life now do let me think what i have that's probably not
good i have this thing
called ginger beer that's got some sugar in it i like that but not a lot you
know in moderation right
mostly our life is organic vegetables and fruits and venison well again like if
you get to be your
age and you have the amount of energy that you have you're doing something
right obviously clean
and sober for 73 years is a good start that's a good start that's a good start
you do you drink a
little wine every now and then i do drink some good red wine and shemaine
chooses and picks my wine
because i have no idea you just don't get blasted i i drink i i like it this
much right you can still
stay that's fine everybody at the shakesgiving dinner table the new just drink
beer and wine they have
a couple of highballs whatever that is um but i don't i can't stand the taste
of liquor i like a good sweet
wine but a couple drinks and a good cigar around a campfire i've shot our
machine guns and there are
certain procedures that seem to be good for the psyche yeah i enjoy a good
cigar as well i i and i
like an ice glass of wine but i do like to get drunk occasionally a lot of my
friends do too
i take counter measures but see i can i can accomplish all things getting drunk
without getting
drunk if you want crazy and stupid and out of control all i have to do is go
crazy stupid and out of
control i don't i'm sure i don't need any impetus i don't need any outside
influences the great apache
chief said god has already given you everything you need and i believe that
wildness uninhibitedness
absolute gonzo misbehavior whatever you need to do is already in here you just
need to know how to
unleash it for example recently they i do all these interviews i have a new
record coming out called
detroit muscle which is i sent you a bunch how many records have you had 40
million i've sold but i think
20 some 30 albums that's pretty incredible yeah i started in 67 not when i was
67 1967. do you know
how many fighters come out to stranglehold by the way of course i do well what
a lick shall i yeah
please do i mean there's so many fighters come out to that song because like
for a jujitsu guy and military
military guys going into battle
hitman
look look at this look at this look at your goosebumps those are real look at
that hair standing up on end
it really is after a thousand years of that thousand years and you still get
fired up what a great lick
though it's a great song that all comes from bo diddley when you first get a
guitar when i was like
seven years old of course who doesn't feel
that is such a natural rhythm i just on the phone with billy gibbons and he
said
that a fetus at conception if that bo diddly lick is happening move his little
toes it will dance so my
point is is that this right hand if i jacked off i'd pull my dick clean off
because this right hand
you jack off with your left hand but no i i hired never mind i i i signed so
many autographs and all
these hats every day and all these flags and i play my guitar every day and i
started with the his god
bo diddley
you hear all the conch
jack jack well what is
that and i learned that not just bo diddley but a guy named jimmy mccarty know
the name jimmy
mccarty 1960 my band the lords opened up for billy lee and the rivieras martha
and the vandellas and
gene pitney who had a hit song called um town without pity this history so i
opened up i was 12
going on 12. my band the lords opened up billy lee and the rivieres 12 and you're
opening up for them
yeah i when i was 14 i opened up for the supremes and the beau brumbles at coble
hall because my
band the lords won the michigan battle of the bands because we were bad for
white boys i'm telling
you 14. yes it was awesome so anyhow going back to wald lake casino novi michigan
wald lake michigan
billy the rivieres it was billy levice destroyed 10 tambourines per song every
song had three
forehead vein popping crescendos johnny benanjic 15 years old on ludwig drums
playing it
nobody played bass drums like that and there's this kid
throttling like some kind of industrial beast and then earl elliott on a rickenbacker
bass through a
uh an ampeg b15 uh joe kubrick on a gibson 335 cherry through a fender twin amp
and this long-legged
motherfucker on a gibson birdland and a fender twin reverb jimmy mccarty and
they started a song
called jenny take a ride i was already into the bow diddly chucka chucka chucka
stuff but when he started jenny
take a ride only i can do this only i can replicate what jimmy did that night
and it went like this
did it oh see cc rider come on see baby what you have done now oh see cc rider
come on see you baby
what you have done now ah you made me love you nah nah nah your man is watch
this right hand well i go
get the fuck out of here do you feel that yes yes what the kind of music is
that it's amazing so i
saw this birdland nobody played a birdland it's a jazz guitar it's made for
playing things like
which is cool great tone huh right
great rich bell kind of tone
but the but when jimmy played it that
fuck wow so that imprinted gibson birdland fender twin gibson birdland fender
twin right hand bow
diddly on stair holy so eventually i had to get a gibson birdland and the way i
play comes from the
bow diddly chuck berry and if you chuck berry i mean
my right hand was was playing all the counter rhythms and so that's where the
whole
cat scratch the new record's got a song called detroit muscle
i don't write songs i ejaculate them i just pick up my guitar go
it's just made me play so chuck berry bo diddly little richard jimmy mccarty
billy lee and the
rivieras by the way changed their name years later to mitch rider in the detroit
wheels i talked to mitch on
thanksgiving i still keep in touch with these guys 60 years later wow so the
new record is the
continuation of you use the word primal primal is my life whether it's with a
sharp stick or a guitar
a chainsaw primal is pure and i think that field to table is a return to primal
i think you discovering
that you can either go vegan or a hunter you made the primal decision i think
primal is the answer to
every problem mankind has subjected themselves to getting back to tooth fang
and claw the earth
accountability your step did the step that you take benefit the world or did it
harm the world
both literally and figuratively so that's how i've conducted my life and the
new record
it's just it's a orgy of killer songs and my drummer jason hartless and bass
player greg smith
are what every guitar player dreams to have at their side the best musicians
you've ever heard that's
awesome you know i don't play music i don't have any musical talent i've never
studied it but i'm
always fascinated by the fact that especially with guitar that i can hear a few
licks and i'm pretty
sure i could guess who's playing sure you know like gary clark jr for example
sure he has a very
specific sound here's his tone here
he got that deep bass bass tone yeah you know steve rayvon obviously but jimmy
hendrix particularly get
out of here get out of here you know i mean that that guy he was he the first
that really had his own
like legitimate distinctive sound
jimmy hendrix
what the did you ever work with him i jammed with jimmy i was in a little room
with him
wow it's unnatural i've yeah he was the guy that took what chuck invented chuck
had the distortion
he played a gibson 335 he played a birdland on his first record it was a it was
the prototype birdland
1955 i think um but he got a little bit more distorted than the typical country
you know
right but he took it to like voodoo child sounds yeah and then jimmy of course
just turned everything
i i was invited steve steve paul had a club in new york called the scene steve
paul scene everybody jammed
with johnny winter and edgar winter and rick derringer and jimmy mccarty and jimmy
hendrix and
and just every steve steve winwood we just go there and we just jam three or
four in the morning
and i was invited by steven green i hope i got all this right at a he was going
to start a club and
it was going to be the debut of a new band called um sly and the family stone
their first east coast
performance and the amboy dukes were in new york city recording journey to the
center of the mine
great song that's that right hand again
just this young kid playing all these
illegal notes and so we were invited down because there's going to be a slide
in the family stone
debut and we were on uh mainstream records i don't know how they invited us but
my journey
this turn of the mind solo was really quite outrageous for back then because it
was so melodic
but it was you know feeding back
so
so
so
just a great song for a bunch of kids so we're invited and we're in there and
they told me to bring my
birdland because i only got to play the birdland what's the difference well it's
hollow body it's
hand carved arch top made of north american spruce so it has a even without an
amplifier it's got the
if you don't want to indulge me like when when like robert johnson was playing
what was he playing
well he robert johnson started with an acoustic guitar and they played such a
nasty noisy
you know i tried to you can hear more string than electronics when i listened
to his music
you know because uh there's you know it's always a the legend of himself yeah
so primal but also um
really knew right there wasn't a lot of that music around before him well that's
what you know let's
talk i'll tell you why i'm here to help so you want emotional sincere beckoning
defiant
raw primal yeah you're gonna have to get it from a guy who was enslaved because
his spirit has been shackled
and his pain is unprecedented they were controlled by other men which is so
obscene
so wrong they knew it was wrong but they couldn't break free so when they sang
it was
the ultimate heartbreak anger fear yet craving to be free so you hear it in
their in their angst and
the pulse of their lyrics and the the dirt literally and figuratively just come
out of the cotton fields and
they going to play music of what they're feeling so it was so sincere so
definitively authoritative from
a painful position blues gospel and then the emancipation proclamation i give
you a little richard
you're talking about a defiant motherfucker bursts out of yeah explosion you
you can't manufacture that it
has to come from the guts it has to come from the horror of slavery to the
unprecedented explosion of
freedom and i'm gonna sing about your daughter long tall sally and i'm gonna i'm
gonna wear a
pompadour and i'm gonna put a mascara on it yeah you mother yeah beautiful and
chuck berry look at him
look at little richard my hero my god he was amazing long tall daddy is he
still alive is he still alive is
he still i i think so i think he's alive i think he's alive i want to be alive
i want him to be alive so
anyhow so that music touching oh 2020 man he died last year motherfucker so
that yeah i didn't hear a peep
out of that yeah he died last year may 9th wow
my favorite is tutti frutti used to be called tutti frutti good booty yeah they
made him change it
he made hit records out of you white man
so my point is you can't manufacture it you can't design that there's no
formula for that you just got to
come from your your soul and the you know it's it's the the horrible truth of
that kind of art
is that it comes from that pain and that you can't create anywhere else and it's
almost like
that's the only benefit of that pain is that it produces this spectacular art
and you had to let it
out some way yeah and the music did that and then you don't get that from a
good childhood right
you know i don't know i mean i don't think you get that you probably said get
something great you can
get something great but you won't get that great i thought it's a different
kind of great not that
authentic right not that raw um there's a believability factor to that black
influence i had a tour years
ago called black power because every night on stage since the 50s i've meant i've
celebrated and
thanked chuck berry about dealing a little richard and james brown and wilson
pickett the motown funk
brothers i mean there is no music that means anything that wasn't inspired by a
black guy
name me music that right that moves you that doesn't have a black history like
how much of
an impact did hendrix have on guitar players in this country when he came
around what was it like because
you were there and you said you you jammed with him but what you know i'm a
giant hendrix fan monster
when i was a kid i remember hearing voodoo child for the first time just
thinking like
how is this guy doing that like how is he making personally left handed upside
down
well geez there's so much i could tell you so yes when les paul electrified it
about for 1945 before that it was a background strumming instrument um folk
music and
background so it was 45 was when it changed 1945 is when les paul electrified
it and all of a sudden had this
this fiery sound this electric sound when did they first start recording like
when what was the first
me or him no anyone well what was the first ball also invented a lot of the
recording procedures
i mean the double tracking the multi-tracking the echo stuff because i think we
we've gone over this
before we tried to figure it out there's like a really really old recording of
someone singing it
sounds fucking terrible but um they're they're i mean i want to say it was the
1700s was that what
somewhere around that seriously i think so would they record on the papillus
reads 1860.
okay so 1860 was the first recording and so wasn't even a hundred years later
you have hendrix
or a hundred years later yeah yeah well musicians plus actually right we're a
we're a crazy bunch and
you want to talk about the ultimate application of critical thinking take take
the foundation of
electric guitar honky-tonk actually it's in the key of f but
well okay let's spend the night together now i need you that's all honky-tonk
that's all honky-tonk i saw the stones last week great what about mick jagger
what species what
species is that 78 years old dancing around singing that's all i need to know
people go people go how
long are you going to be doing this mc jagger will let us know he's a bad
motherfucker he's
fucking still so they put on an hour and a half show at the circuit of the americas
in austin so it's
this enormous racetrack and they have a huge amphitheater out there it's an
incredible place the circuit
of the americas and they have these fucking gigantic screens and when he was on
stage i swear to god i felt
like i was in a dream it didn't feel real to watch him to watch him dance
around and singing you know
they had to take brown sugar out of their playlist i can't see isn't that crazy
wrong that's so wrong
you're not allowed to celebrate black girls now right how crazy is that how
crazy is that the girl
who is the the inspiration for that song was hugely upset by it she was like it's
an amazing
so was aunt jemima when she was banned from the shelf i don't think aunt jemima's
a real person
but this is a great mentality man no one's protesting that song they just didn't
want to deal with it
it's like the the woke that kind of let me down because the stones were a defiant
bunch and i'd
like to think that they would retain that but i think they just don't want any
hate at this i mean
they're in the finish line right they're at the home stretch and but goddamn
the show was good when
they played kimmy shelter holy monster holy fuck it was incredible yeah keith
richards can
fucking still wail he's a he's a guy i spent two nights with keith richards at
studio 54 in new
york city in 1978 because i'm i'm militantly anti-substance abuse and he's
militantly pro-substance
we had such a good time together it was just funny because he was a hero of
mine i mean all my songs
came from chuck berry little richard bow diddley but remember the first stones
album the british
invasion stones album beatles kinks the yardbirds they all had bow diddley
chuck berry and motown songs
because that's what i was raised on so i was playing that music before the british
invasion
and so when the british guys did it and they did it such a good job because
they so revered those artists
and they they they they presented the chuck berry songs oh carol i mean just keith
richard
oh don't let's do your heart away
well i got to learn to dance if you tell me all night and day
well come into my machine so we can cruise on out
what keith richards did to the chuck berry songs was so respectful
but i don't know not more youthful you can't be more youthful than chuck berry
but something about
their just put a different spin on it yeah with with jaggers over exaggerated
bluesy vocal approach
and all those great players but that was so influential so take that influence
which was a bombardment
unprecedented and then take it all the way to jimi hendrix and then the next
chapter of guitar
sucker punching was eddie van halen so and i've got to jam with all these guys
i got to jump
you name the best guitarists i've jammed with all of them and to sit there you
don't sit there you
kind of dance there and you're paying attention to what they express and how
they how they unleash
these note volleys and and phrases and musical authority it it it settles in
your psyche it settles
in your soul and it's like an arsenal of licks that you can do in your own way
but you're not afraid
to do it the way they did it and if you have a certain touch of your own then
it comes off as
your signature style that's what's always so fascinating to me is that out of
all the notes
that have been played all the songs that have been written and sang and and
recorded that there's
still new ways to make a guitar joe you see this landscape yes it looks it
looks restrictive doesn't
it right it looks like it's only that long right it's only that many frets lewis
and clark wouldn't
know where to send sacajawea on my guitar neck i got a song in the new record
called driving blind that goes
and there i was minding my own business i'm kind of caught off guard
i wrote the book on sexual healing i swear to god well i think i found the
answer
to get me peace of mind don't flirt with disaster and don't get caught driving
blind
you know it's a got a groove it sounds like something you've heard before but
you never have
where does clapton fit into it for you monster monster i mean the whole i mean
i can do
that whole can you do leila all right i i don't know leila but but he's he's a
yeah the beast i mean billy gibbons the beast i mean now joe bonamassa a beast
um who's joe
joe perry joe bonamassa joe bonamassa is a super duper blues guitar player that
played albert hall and got
eric clapton to join him on stage look into joe bonamassa he's got he's on tour
all the time he's a
great guitar player um he's he's no hendrix and he's no billy gibbons even my
guitar player derek
st holmes for years one of the greatest guitar players in the world you won't
hear his name
mentioned but he's better than most so there's ricky medlock with leonard skinner
my guitar player in
the damn yankees tommy shaw these are unbelievable musical forces just genius
soulful grinding
authoritative guitar statements but you won't hear their name because there's
so many of them
out there there is so many and there's more coming every day this kid's
listening to this
right now just picking up a guitar for the first time yeah well learn bow diddley
and chuck berry if
you can't go
and if you can't go
and if you really want to go someplace try to do
what a great lick i love playing that lick great fucking lick that's a great
fucking look that's a
great that's in my workout playlist here i come again now baby like a dog in
heat you can tell us
me by the clamor motherfucker i'd like to tear up the street i've been smoking
for so long you know i'm here
to stay i got you in a stranglehold bitch get the fuck out of my way what a
love song it's a great
song the road i cruised is a bitch now you know you can't turn me around if a
house gets in my way
i'll burn the motherfucker down remember the night that you left me you put me
in my place got you in
a stranglehold motherfucker and i crushed your fucking face fuck you whoa it's
a love song um
you feel the love i don't but i get it it's about standing up for what you
believe here's a great story
you're not going to believe this so i signed with epic records 1974 tom worman
god bless him tony reality
the engineer derrick st holmes monster forest rob grange on bass unbelievable
cliff davies god rest his
soul on drums i got this rock and roll band from hell we're playing all over
the country 300 nights a year
cultivating this musical relationship with music lovers that love the dynamic
and the crescendos and the
experimental and the outrageous uncharted territory musical mayhem but mostly
the intensity of a
detroit piss and vinegar band which i define and so they signed me because they
liked the songs got
stranglehold and stormtroopin just great licks great song motor city madhouse
just all these great songs
derrick's got this ungodly voice so we get in the studio and we're setting up
equipment and they had heard
stranglehold but they called a meeting and i didn't know why they called a
meeting but the production
company the the engineer the management company the band uh the producer uh the
all the record company
a and r artist relations all had want to have a meeting i go all right maybe we
should have a meeting
before we start recording make sure it's like a team energy thing like a pre-fight
gathering right and uh
they get in bottom line the meeting was about they all voted that stranglehold
shouldn't be on the record
because it doesn't have a chorus oh my god could you imagine if you listen to
them i i'm in the room
and it's like an intervention oh my god and they're trying to tell me that i
gotta stop taking this drug
god and i'm listening to all their things it doesn't have a chorus so who gives
a shoe
sisters how to have a but nobody likes long guitar jams anymore i go oh my god
i do
how is that possible so i said this is 74 so i said are you guys done what year
was freeberg yeah
that that next year maybe how the did they get that so wrong
they're in new york city that's so dumb and they're monitoring hit records oh
god i hate that
shit that shit drives me crazy there was a moment where those lyrics to that
song stranglehold
came to fruition in a meeting where they all voted that it shouldn't be
recorded because it's a long
jam nobody likes long jams and there's no chorus and i said we play this every
night i've been
unleashing this song the people go nuts every night i'm going with the people's
vote not only that but
even if the people didn't like it it's my statement this i believe in this song
let's shut the
up let's record it if you hear it for one time how the can you not love it that
is such a classic
it's a monster it's such a classic the fact that they wanted to take that
author imagine if you
listen to them oh my god i mean between cat scratch fever and that like what is
your biggest hit
well i don't think there were any there was a hit i mean derrick wrote the song
hey baby on the first
record but i mean as far as like songs that are identified as a ted nugent song
throughout
the history of music they've run the triangle holes right up there right up
there at the top probably
between there's a song called fred bear yes amongst hunters that's a big one
see it's got that pound thing going that might be there i was back in the wild
again
and i felt right at home and i felt right at home where i belong
i had that feeling coming over me again it's just like it happened so many
times before so many times
beautiful songs
i gotta tell you joe i got a call this morning
when that song happened after fred died
i've always been surrounded by the best musicians on the planet they're
dedicated to their craft they
have a work ethic they're smart asses they're adventurous they're critical
thinkers they're gifted
michael lutes on bass the author of smoking in the boys room for brownsville
station
gunner ross a drummer from detroit of just super thunder
and when i played that song i cried through the whole thing i was completely
out of control
because fred had died and my mom had died and that that pattern had a life of
its own i didn't
play it i facilitated it but michael and gunner immediately grasped my emotion
for fred
and what the song meant and what you hear on the the song that the navy seals
play when they come home
with flag draped coffins and people bury their children or have an anniversary
the song like every
day i get people testifying what the song fred bear means to them just so
emotional so powerful
well this morning gunner ross died my drummer on fred bear 67 years old and he
died this morning and that
moment when he embraced my pain and love for fred the pain of the loss just a
smart ass detroit drummer
monster but my people they they they they own the spirit of every song that we
play they become one
with it and gunner did that day and it was take one i played it for him and
then we pushed the record
button at pearl sound in canton michigan and gunner and michael
loved fred they didn't know who fred was but they knew what it meant to me and
they they put their
heart and soul into that performance and gunner just died this morning at 67.
will you tell everybody
who fred bear was because there's a lot of people listening to this that don't
have any idea who that
guy is fred bear is the essence of american entrepreneurial man in the arena in
the swirling dust of
the industrial revolution born in pennsylvania in 1906 or thereabouts and uh
was a hunter farmer trapper
you know lived on the land and he moved to detroit during the industrial
revolution to
be a wood carver for the four four moco four moco ford motor company making
cabinets for the radios
and the dashboards and the woodies the vehicles and uh he had become so proficient
with the 30-30
that he was looking for more of a challenge if he saw a deer with his 30-30 he'd
kill it
he learned stealth you give within 100 yards up with an open sight rifle you
should be able to kill it
and he that's great that's how you get venison but he's looking for something
else
so he started making his own bows in the 1920s and a couple buddies uh nels grumley
i can't believe i
remember all this shit nell that was his name nels grumley was his boyer it
takes a real art
craftsmanship to make us a bow from a stave and pick the right grain and the
right hickory or the you
or the osage orange and pick the right tree and know that that core is going to
make a good bow
and then know what the the resistance and the flexibility of those wood limbs
will produce
uh what they call cast how it would cast an arrow it's quite an art form and so
fred bear and nels
grumley had a little shop in detroit and when they weren't making cabinets for
their business the
foamoco and the the radio industry he was making his own bows he and nels and
it was catching on a
little bit but then up in oroville california i think in 1908 maybe they found
an indian cowering in a
corral and they determined that this was from the yanni y-a-n-i the yanni indian
tribe and back then
if you killed one of them you get 25 bucks what year was this yeah northern california
1908 maybe
you could get 25 dollars if you kill an indian yeah 1908 yeah jesus jesus maybe
they should have wrote
some blue songs holy shit so anyhow so instead of killing this guy they
determined his name was ishi
and they wanted to study him the last he's the last survivor of the yanni tribe
northern california
oroville just heard a story in oroville california this morning on the radio
and i said to rocco and
shimane i go that's where they found ishi um so this guy ishi his whole life
was based on the bow and
arrow getting close to game taking a freezing river bath before the hunt to
deserve an encounter with
the beast that would provide life food clothing shelter tools medicine weapons
spirit deep into the
spiritual realm and so the the sheriff department put him in a jail and they
said let's call some
anthropologists or one of these scientist guys and so they called a guy named
saxton pope
um pope and young yeah the saxton pope so saxton pope came down and tried to
figure out what tribe and
and language and started communicating with ishi and then he called his buddy
art young who was also a
professor i believe i might i'm probably getting some of the details a little
misconstrued here but this
is the proceedings that took place and so they were so fascinated they took ishi
out into his native lands
in northern california and he showed them how their life pivoted on effective
bow hunting and so saxton
and pope became fascinated how could you not as their world was developing
better ballistics for longer
range killing um pope and young went yeah this is fascinating trying to get
close to that columbia
blacktail with a sharp stick i gotta try that because there was already this
this maniac movement of
sophistication so they called it away from the land and to be more certified
and more educated and have
other people kill your for you um but they discovered there was something
powerful about ishi well ishi
eventually died from white man's germs as so many did but saxon pope became
dedicated to the bow hunting
lifestyle and they went on to go bow hunting in yosemite and yellowstone went
to africa and hunted and
filmed it all and so meanwhile fred bear and howard hill in california and ben
pearson down in arkansas
were fancying bow hunting as a little sideline fun thing well back then the
only vehicle of promotion
for any given entity or endeavor were newsreels and they don't go to the
theater and play a newsreel
on a trip to the arctic in a boat or how to build a canoe well saxon pope and
art young created newsreels
about this fascinating rediscovery of the mystical flight of the arrow and how
to kill game with it
real primitive real port orford cedar shafts that they'd have to heat up to
straighten out by the eye
how to cut uh turkey feathers to fletch with a helical to steer the air this is
all what they
use it for broadheads back then they made their own out of just raw stock steel
eventually fred bear
made his own the razor head which became most popular and in michigan there was
one called the
ma3 and the ma2 and the bodkin all of which i still own um so fred bear saw
that there was a newsreel
coming to the detroit theater in downtown detroit this is 30s and this is
fascinating it is see i got this
right from fred wow wow wallow bask in the glow and so fred said well these
guys got a newsreel hunting
with the bow and arrow let's go check this out so can you watch that anywhere i
think so hunting with
the bow and arrow yes saxton pope art young what year 30s 1930s jamie's gonna
find it and uh and the book
they wrote hunting with the bow and arrow they both wrote that anyhow so i'm
not even born yet
les paul hasn't even electrified the guitar yet but my dad came back from world
war ii and fred bear
already had enough influence in michigan that my dad became a bow hunter and i
still have his bow from
1945. so fred bear from working for the ford motor company and and then
starting becoming a bow hunter
had influenced so many people that young men in that area were taking up bow
hunting for the first time
yes wow my dad was one and there was was bow hunting anything was was anybody
bow hunting in the
country other than that or was it extremely rare uh let me see if i remember
the name roy case how do i
remember these names roy case in wisconsin fred barron michigan george nichols
in michigan
owner of jackson archery who fred contracted to build fred's arrows because fred
was experimenting
with the lamination invention of laminating thin sheets of fiberglass to thin
sheets of woods
to build up that beautiful recurve you've seen artwork yeah and it increased
the cast that's how they
identified the delivery of an arrow it was the cast how well a bow of certain
wood would cast an arrow
did they weigh their arrows back then they did typically 600 grain port orford
cedar with 140 grain
or even heavier bodkins i think were 180 grains ma2s ma3s were 150s um and how'd
they keep their arrows
within that range especially with the wood i would imagine it varies quite
select that's why they use
port orford cedar because it was controllable and it had a grain conducive to
straightness even though
effort had to be applied to perfectly straighten them though that never perfect
so anyhow so fred now
he's so enamored he saw the pope and young video he goes holy to hell with fomoco
man let's
build bows and arrows so he moved from detroit to grayling michigan up in the
middle of the state up
in the north country where the only deer were there were no deer south of claire
all the deer were north
because after they cut down every tree in michigan except for the hartwick pines
um land of the
kirtland's warbler i got all this i register all this information um so after
the denuding of the
michigan forest i mean white pines as big around as this room joe you see their
stumps today
and these guys cut the entire state down with hand saws but shockingly not so
much if you know a
little bit about botany what does that do lets the sunlight hit the ground and
the habitat exploded
to such supportability such sustainability for wildlife that animals can only
use what they can reach
and now this explosion of low growth provided sanctuary shelter thermal cover
during the severe michigan
winters and escape and so the deer herd exploded in the 1950s so fred's up
there so now i'm born in 48
my dad's already a bow hunter and every kid in detroit every kid in america was
fascinated with a bow and
arrow i live right next to the rouge river i was in detroit but right next to
the rouge river all in
industry came by waterways for transportation of goods and so i even i didn't
know who fred bear was
i just knew that my dad would shoot his bow and every kid got a little kid's
bow and i probably shot
stuffed animals with you know suction cup arrows in the living room by the time
i was two and according
to my parents i was a high energy maniac borderline dangerous but i always shot
my bow and arrow so by
time i'm four or five we're going north every year in the ford country squire
station wagon with our bows
and arrows and we'd stop in this town called grayling and go to this little cinder
block
shack that said bear archery over the front i still didn't know what was going
on i just knew that i
loved bows and arrows but in this little shack in grayling michigan were lots
of bows and arrows and
this tall lanky guy named fred bear who my dad would with we'd go to the grayling
restaurant have chocolate
milk and cherry pie and by the time i was seven or eight it registered holy
this is the guy in the
cover of true magazine with a polar bear this is a guy on american sportsmen
eventually with kurt gaudy
shooting moose and caribou and hunting with the maharajji and shooting chittle
deer and and and nil
guy on the the the estate of the indian ruler and i'm fascinated so now this is
my chuck berry of bow
hunting i was already gung-ho guitar gung-ho bows and arrows we all got daisy
red rider bb guns we all
made our own slingshots i started out with bows and arrows i made myself out of
reeds and saplings along
the rouge river so just a natural inclination projectiles they've always
fascinated mankind
how can you control the projectile how good of a marksman can you be i was put
in charge of sparrow
control with my daisy red rider bb gun in my garage because the sparrows were
shitting on the
there's the country squire station wagon window so i would kill the sparrows in
the garage so i was deep
into shooting and so i met this fred bear guy and eventually i realized that's
fred fucking bear
well he was funny kind big tall six foot six something lanky and just a natural
killer
it's a natural stealthy sneaky bow hunter real slow talking not to be confused
with me
and real easy going which makes for a great bow hunter which john what's john's
name that you
dudley yes that's a perfect example of a dangerous bow hunter because old john
is uh
just so uh naturally um relaxed right am i right he's very relaxed yeah i'm not
so i have to turn the
corner before i go boy so anyhow so fred bear invited me into his life and from
this little shack my dad
was transferred every year i couldn't wait to stop and greatly meet old fred
every year we'd stop there
and most years he was there for the opening october 1st michigan bow season
which is why michigan is
the number one bow hunting state in america to this day because of fred bear's
influence so i fell in love
with fred bear as a mentor as a hero and he welcomed me into his life wholeheartedly
even though he told
me that his buddies i don't know about this rock and roll guy sex drugs and
rock and roll i don't
know if you want to associate with nugent you're a long-haired fellow long-haired
hippie looking dirt
dog um but his buddies all fred told me he says no my buddy said no no nugent i
heard him on the radio
all he does is promote clean and sober all he does is promote the mystical
flight of the arrow and being
one with your projectile management and this guy's high energy and is getting
bow hunting promotion to
people who will never hear of you and fred bear actually said every sporting
event he went to
everybody under 40 always asked him do you know ted nugent because i'd shoot my
bow on stage every
concert with the amboy dukes i'd always promote hunting every interview is
supposed to be about a
new record i'd promote my weekend with my mom and dad hunting with a bow and
arrow so i was constantly
countering the animal rights lie by promoting conservation especially the
discipline of archery
and so fred embraced me long story short and i can keep you here for 100 days
in 1987
i did my annual hunt with fred i'd go over every year up to a place called grouse
haven up in rose
city michigan the gateway to the north country and we'd be around the campfire
and around the fireplace with
um just all the old guys bob munger who we went to africa with so many times
and all his buddies
and i just sit around the campfire just sponging the stories from these guys
because they were pioneers
of the new bow hunting challenge versus what roy weatherby was developing you
kill a deer four
or five six hundred thousand yards which is a discipline unto itself that's
marksmanship
if you dedicate yourself but bow hunters were looking for something more
challenging more difficult and more
spiritual in understanding your relationship with the animal that the native
americans always proclaimed
rightly so that if you dedicate yourself to conscientious stealth reasoning
predator that the great spirit will
provide a shot at the game which means if you dedicate yourself you can earn
that shot
powerful lesson in the industrial explosion to go back to a primal
scream yeah so then in in in april of 88 after our last hunt in 87 and fred i
didn't even go hunting i just
stayed with fred because he was on an oxygen tank he carried it around i just
hung out with fred very
emotional because he was so powerful in all of our lives huge force and he told
me to keep doing what i do
promoting hunting in a rock and roll way because it got the word out to people
who would never hear
it at the shot show right um and then that next april he died and it was a a
force wave
of heartbreak just he meant so much to so many people and so one morning i was
going out to do
my chores like i do every morning but instead i stopped and i came in the house
and that song
happened wow wow and i called my guys gunner ross who died today and i said
mike get a studio
something's happening and my guys know how serious i am he goes it's not like
he's no what's happening
man he said okay hang on i'll get a studio so we got in a studio and recorded
that song and it's it's
so powerful in people's lives did you find that uh pope and young video this is
the best i could find
i don't let's see it 1926 grizzly how'd you do that wow 1926 you gotta be
kidding me sound on it but
watch him there he is look at his hat at saxton pope right there i think a
gentleman's hat look at the
quiver tucked under his armpit by the way what kind of balls do you have to
hunt a bear with a
recurve in the 1920s and look at those bears getting up to try to find out what
the hell he is watch him
he missed oh no the bear's like we're getting the out of here there he got him
in the second arrow wow
look how long the arrows are yeah you got to have a titan you got to have t-rex
scrotum to take that
on yeah i mean look at the boots look at the clothes 1920s is that awesome
there's a big close-up on the
area that's crazy that was even before me joe this is wild that they were
interested in doing that
they're interested in bow hunting look at the arrow wow that is wild
that's wild yep 1926 see if you can find any fred bear footage there's a lot of
a lot of that on there
there's a lot of that on there see if you can find uh fred bear hunting moose i've
seen that video
so i've been in the i i got to play bass for chuck berry and bo diddley i got
to bow hunt with fred
bear that's pretty awesome i went around the indie track in a roush mustang
with parnelli jones at the
wheel i was trained on off-road racing by mickey thompson and roger mirrors
there he is and i have an
iron man there's fred i like how he's putting stuff on his face he's camouflaging
his face with his
flannel shirt on he's got sticks in his hat the the old school hat do you ever
hunt with a hat like
that i have not i have put seems like i have put vegetation in my hat emulating
old fred so he's
got a it seems like he's got a camo uh that's a stag huh or a caribou he's uh
it seems like he's got
a um uh some kind of camo on right no that's just a pendleton that's just a
pendleton plaid shirt which
is but he put something on over the plaid shirt when we started that is just a
plaid shirt when we
started there was no camo you wore military cam and then eventually mossy oak
now i i wear mossy
oak and there's all kinds of camo out were they the first guys to come out with
camo for um i think uh
grumley uh uh is that not camo he's wearing because look at his pants pants
looks like uh
woodland camo yeah there's some camo so he had some kind of camo on back then
this is probably in the 50s yeah and look at this he's got a quiver mounted to
the side of his bow
too was that one of the first ones oh he invented that that's his bear archery
is that from him yeah
that's he started yeah wow let me let me emphasize this to all your listeners
all of joe rogan's listeners
please take heed if you want to find the beast of your spirit and when i say
beast i mean the best of
the best of the best of you get a bow and arrow find a bow that is comfortable
and graceful
even if it's in your living room at 10 feet with the proper backstop and i've
trained my children
do not underestimate the power of spiritual growth available just by getting mr
left hand
to be one with mr right hand as guided by the oneness of mr brain and mr
eyeball and see if you can put
the arrow of your life in the spot of your desires i swear to god joe i don't
care if you're a copper
a teacher or a butcher a mechanic or a plumber or a carpenter or a radio dude i
don't care what you do in
life whatever point you're at today within a few days of really discovering
your arrow control
whatever you pursue you will be better at incrementally as you become one with
the mystical flight
of your arrow especially young people i think it's uh it's an amazing form of
meditation because it's so
difficult to fit i can't find a better one yeah it's so difficult to do that
and you don't have to even
hunt just shoot at a target yes find a bullseye find the bullseye of your life
it really is but you
should hunt you should hunt it's so difficult and people don't realize how
difficult it is to have
perfect form in archery and how to execute a perfect shot especially in the
field under hunting conditions
because form goes to shit it's not the olympic range but you have to discover
how you can control
manipulate manage that form in an awkward field position so that from the waist
to the face from
your waist to the face you can control your form no matter how awkward the
position may be and that's
the trick to consistent accuracy with a bow and arrow and it doesn't matter
whether it's a compound or a
longboard or an old recurve bow to to become consistently efficient with an old-fashioned
long or recurve bow is one of the most joyous fulfilling gratifying
accomplishments in life because
it's a bitch yeah it's a lot harder right with a recurve or a long bow any kind
of traditional archery bow
a lot harder to be more accurate but it's also there's something about the
satisfaction of being
accurate that's even more accentuated right sure it is accentuated no doubt and
i'm not dismissing
i shoot a compound 99 of the time i shoot a matthews that's lightweight 50
pounds it's graceful
it feels like a recurve because i'm at full draw under uh you know graceful
conditions and i know that
cameron and you shoot heavy bows because you're strong but archery has to be
graceful you have to
be able you can't it's not weight lifting it's stealth and grace you need to
find a bow that is easy to
draw easy to come to full draw and make sure that your full draw stops at your
face not back here
if it's too long of a draw especially the compound because it has a let off and
if it's let off too far
back you'll never have form because it's supposed to be hand eye coordination
and if you're anchoring
back here your eyes out of the equation now so in in texas there's a lot of
great archery shops all
across america there's a great archery country right here in austin what's the
name of it archery country
archery country it's it's a great shop a really great shop um who was the matthews
was the first to
come up with a compound right no um was it no uh uh allen the allen compound
and uh from allen archery
like the guys who make uh still stuff today i i don't know um allen and my
first one was uh geez
why can't i remember uh uh i bought it in 1977. anyhow i thought it was matthews
that had the patent no
there it is the compound bow was developed in 1966 by wilbur allen in northern
kansas i just got that
kansas city missouri a u.s patent was granted in 1969 the compound bows become
increasingly popular
what is that wikipedia get the fuck out of here wikipedia wow look at that look
at his first bow
look at that that's wild yeah look at that photo that thing's crazy looking
yeah that's just engineering
ingenuity you know that fella got no pussy look at him yeah just just sitting
around shooting bows and
arrows all day obsessed there they are look at them beautiful isn't it amazing
how things come out of
obsession like just look at that guy's face while he's holding that bow go back
to that picture
that guy had probably been working on that thing it probably been in his head
for years yeah look how he
made it out of wood but what what uh matt mcpherson of matthews has done is he's
taken engineering to a
mad scientist level where the the uh the the finite measurements of the wheels
and the the the cams
they're so efficient they are so capable now it's just incredible that anybody
figured this out that
this guy figured this out in 1966 when you look at that bow right there that he's
got in his hand
like look how crazy that contraption is with all those strings and we all hated
it when they first came
out we all went what is that's not a bow and everybody shot it with fingers and
shot an instinct you shot
instinctive with a all up until just 12 years ago yeah 12 years ago wow and so
you brought the bow the
arrow up to your eye like eyesight not necessarily i did have it i used three
fingers under what they
call the apache draw so it was closer to my eye than it was to my corner of my
mouth like i started i used
the split finger when i started and you see a gap when you do it that way can't
the bow like fred bear
and everybody did they can to the side to open up that path to the target and
you see the arrow under
you and you know that it's going to be rising to come to your eye level just
like a bullet rises to the
scope um and you learned what those gaps are different yardages and i got to
tell you when i was a kid i wish i could shoot
today like i did when i was a kid i couldn't miss as i i don't care if it was a
flying bird or a running
squirrel i just got natural no baggage no psychological considerations like the
samurai warrior said to tom
cruise when he couldn't quite master the samurai he went too many minds you can't
think about some
things you don't think about a 90 yard pass i'm not a football fan but you have
to instinctively know
what this thrust is to that guy's running and when it will coincide with the
receiver it's a thing with
training i mean that that is the number one thing about martial arts is that
you execute based on your
training yeah you don't even think about it not just muscle memory but spirit
right yeah he's got
it that's i use the term samurai a lot and i use the term out of body a lot i
think bo i think archery
is a martial art no question about it yeah it really is and i think people don't
talk about is a martial
the way you do it i really i really do believe that i don't i don't write songs
i don't
contemplate patterns i pick up the guitar and things happen based on where i am
um emotionally um
spiritually cocky defiantly easy going not easy going um and those patterns the
new record i can't
rave enough about detroit muscle the songs there's an instrumental it's called
winter spring summer fall
and i'm i'm notorious for instrumentals that have beautiful melodies that that
grow like a song
called earth tone goes
it's just beautiful
i recognize that from the spirit of the wild tv show
and the new album has one called winter spring summer fall and just listen to
this pattern one day i
got up like i do every day and i went
so
so
so
so
so
so
it's where you are and if you can express sonically and maleviously and
make a statement and i i hunt every day i do chores out every day i plant trees
or i fill feeders or i
work on fences so i have dirt in my hands all the time and when i sit down i
didn't i didn't sit
down and go hey a neat title for a song would be winter spring summer fall what
would that sound like
no i just play and after i played it i realized that i'm playing my life in a
year winter spring summer fall
what do i do in the winter i'm continuing to harvest because come spring there's
going to be regrowth and
planting summer ideal conditions for the growth of that spring planting fall
harvest
so if ever there was an organic musical consciousness it's me can i ask you
again
about um what why did you switch from uh using uh instinctive with fingers to
using a release and a
sight old man's eyeballs i started missing yeah my buddy brian shootback just a
guru of archery
runs a little it's actually quite a sporting goods store in jackson michigan
shootback sporting goods
people come from hundreds of miles to let brian and his team set up their bows
because they're
dedicated archery craftsmen engineers because on a compound bow it really is
uh a mechanical beast and everything has to be timed really specifically the
wheels the cams the the
tiller between the limbs and the string the way the cables connect where the
arrow comes out where
the rest allows the air to come out straight um and so brian shootback i would
call him and say i missed
a buck this morning again he goes let me set you up a bow with a peep sight i
can't do that let
i'm setting you one up just use it so he set it up and a peep sight but no no
no housing no no
no actually it had a peep and a pin i had one pin and it had a loop and a
release
the whole moderns you'd never use a loop before then so you'd been hunting for
how long without a d loop
50 years 50 years 50 years how apprehensive were you to try to switch over and
change um
i respect brian and i was really frustrated slash angry at making bad shots not
all the time but
enough to piss me off because to get a close range encounter on a michigan whitetail
is one of the most
impossible tasks under the sun these animals are born looking for guitar
players and trees
they're twitchy they're so white tails are so smart especially the michigan
ones because they've been
hunting since they were born anyhow um so i respected brian's recommendation
but it was difficult for me
because instead of the smoothness of looking at my target and coming up muscle
memory let go now
i'd have to find the pin in the peep and hang on for a second which is really
uh uh contrary to my
shooting system um but within a couple days i stuck with it and boy i was zapping
them right in there
because once that pin and that peep is there if you can control mr right hand
and mr trigger finger
like a rifle shot right um breathing sight acquisition pin in the peep on the
spot okay
do it did you ever fuck around with hinges did you ever use like back tension
releases or anything i
have yeah couldn't do it why couldn't you do it i i i'm here to admit joe rogan
live on the joe
rogan podcast experience i ted newton have target panic a lot of people do but
i have it but i've
managed it with that right hand thing mr right hand when i draw down on a
target or a deer i'm thinking
first of all i have an orange square on every target i have a day glow orange
tape on all my 3d targets
i shoot out to 60 yards and i have my pins set accordingly and i as i draw it
down i have an orange
tape on my bow so it reminds me orange tape okay this we're just going for the
orange tape it's not a buck
it's not a target it's not a bullseye okay orange tape he missed a right hand
remember it's all about
the orange tape i've actually cured people not cured but help them manage
target panic which means you
freeze off target in desperation you fling yeah it's it's a curse most olympic
guys have had most archers
have get it at one point or another and so when i shoot now i shoot various matthews
bows and they're
lightweight 50 pounds and i shoot mostly shoot two blade broadheads and i go
orange tape on bow okay
or that's right just orange tape just just we're going for the orange tape it's
not that big of a
deal all right mr right hand not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet okay and i
zap the out of it's
just awesome but i had to have a a diversion reference to orange tape but i
swear to god joe
when i shoot when i shot at buck two days ago a real buck a live buck i saw the
orange tape on his crease
now just did you have any target panic when you were using fingers and you're
shooting instinctive it
just became down to the trigger so beautiful have you ever paid attention to do
you know joel turner
the shot iq system i don't i know there i know this you know who he is he's uh
he's got a really good
website and he used to be i think he still does uh it works with uh swat teams
and he trains people in the
the difference between open loop and closed loop thinking and that uh in open
loop thinking
um i can always fuck these two up i believe open loop is like swinging a
baseball bat like uh the the
ball comes and you swing and at no point in time can you stop it like you're
just swinging right you're
not going to check it but a closed loop is like you're in complete control of
every movement through
the entire process and you're thinking yourself through it and what he does is
he has like a mantra
that he talks you through and the idea is to keep your mind conscious and to
keep yourself from
being just working on reflexes just like hitting anxiety and then punching the
trigger and instead
of doing that you work through your shot process and you achieve a surprise
shot and one of the ways
you do that is by keeping your mind on a mantra and talking and i think his you
know his not yet mr
right hand yeah yeah and then he talks you through this the thing that he does
the way he says it um
it works yeah i think his is drawback and aim get it done watch it to keep it
and the idea of watch
it to keep it is like follow that arrow like watch become you know like remy
warren says be the arrow
stay on your form until the arrow hits yeah and this idea of keeping that that
conversation constantly
going in your mind keeps your mind on conscious thought rather than going on
instinct and yeah it's
helped me tremendously good but one thing that's helped me tremendously is a
hinge i started shooting
with a hinge and i shot hinge yeah in other words where uh it it won't release
the arrow till you finish
your back tension exactly and i use dudley's i use this one called too smooth
god damn i love this
thing i'd love to try amazing i shot john send me one of them i'll have him
send you one i wish i'd
known i would have brought one but um the it's called a hinge yeah i know they
made the the release
comes from the movement of your hand yes right and there's like a little click
i hear it like when i
get to like right here i'm pulling my fingers back i hear a little click and i
know all i have to do is
just pull with my back muscles and it'll go off and i have no idea when it's
going to go off but it's
going to go off that's it right there i love that damn thing and i shot the
biggest elk i've ever shot
in my life this year with that hinge well you know you mentioned the click
there was back in the old
days during longbow and recurve competition there was what they called the
clicker are you aware of
that yes where it goes on the top of the limb and you come to full draw but
this little this little
spring steel piece of steel is against the string and you have to finish your
draw with the same back
tension right and when you hear that click little click come off the string you
let go yes so that
there's a lot of there's cycle yeah deep psychology to definitive archery yes
yeah you'll tell really
talk to any olympic archer and they'll tell you that archery accuracy is 99
mental anybody can grab the
bow anybody can hold the string and anybody can pull it back to some discover
form archery form is
critical especially on the olympic line especially when there's an elk out
there especially if it's
further than 30 yards but that form it's it's it's when you execute the shot
that is all mental and
especially you know it's a great big one what that yeah it becomes it's like it's
like there's no world
there's only that elk and you gotta hit them in the crease and sometimes people
shoot the antlers
because that's what they're thinking about which is nuts well i've studied all
the shootings and
typically in a shootout between good guys and bad guys you get this tacky
psyche where the whole
world is towards the weapon and they typically shoot the weapon yeah which isn't
necessarily a bad thing
but not the best thing not the best thing yeah it's it's when you are shooting
a target whether it's
uh an elk or whether it's a target just a 3d target are you looking at your pin
are you looking at the
spot you're looking at the spot i want to hit yeah that's a weird thing too
right it's different that's
where the very man's eyes it's also very different than a rifle yeah right if
you're shooting with a
rifle you want to center that reticle and you just squeeze squeeze squeeze
squeeze squeeze boom
ultimately that reticle and my grandson shot a beautiful doe yesterday with my
ga precision 308 from
george gardner out of kansas city he wins all the long range stuff he just
creates one of the
most accurate rifles on the planet plus i got a new one from the u.s marine
armor that i haven't even
shot yet i'm such a lucky guy but anyhow i do a lot of shooting i do a lot of
training every day
i shoot my handguns every day and i shoot long range every day and it is a a
conflict because on long
range you don't want to waste your time on that little plate you want to see
those crosshairs because
the plate's so small at that long range even with a 24 magnification so
hand-eye coordination spirit breathing sight control you get a good rest
obviously every
time with a bow and arrow you don't get a rest and this guy this guy's in
charge of your life that
finger i missed your right hand all right mister now here's one thing you
probably like to shoot long
range rifle stuff don't pull the trigger anymore with your finger get that
finger on the trigger
know when it's going to go off and wrap that finger on just like a release but
squeeze your whole hand
because when you squeeze your trigger finger you're actually pulling to the
side it's not coming
straight back you can discover that but if you use you squeeze your whole hand
get your finger on the
trigger and you squeeze your whole hand that trigger figure is going to come
back and it just seems to
work really good for me you know lee lakowski right i know the name yeah from
that show oh yeah from
lee and tiffany yeah lee and tiffany he's a killer he is a killer um he i had a
nice long conversation with
him in elk camp we shared elk camp this year and he was telling me that he has
uh he shoots with a
carter target four right and he gets that the the trigger in his thumb and he
makes a fist so that's
that's a thumb release yeah it's a yeah i use that off and on too the thumb
goes in the hook of his
thumb that's what he's talking about the whole hand yeah he doesn't shoot with
the thumb he just makes a
fist yes and he just practices that so often and he's been shooting with that
same release for
20 plus years and that's muscle memory and shot sequence management it's all
about shot sequence
management no increments of the shot sequence are isolated they're all
relatives with the bow and
arrow or a firearm you have to have a muscle memory and the only way you
achieve that is repetition
repetition shoot every day you gotta shoot everything that's why i mentioned a
little while ago
if you get into archway i don't have any place to shoot your living room well
you don't expect me to
shoot a bow in the living room do you yes that's where i shoot my bow i shoot
my bow in every hotel
on tour every year for the last 50 years bring your bow on tour yeah what do
you do you like put up
i got a little target little tiny ball but it's right there but what am i
practicing shot sequence
it's all it doesn't matter whether it's an elk at 40 yards or the ball at 10
feet this guy has got to be
like when you pick up the guitar i don't have to look where i'm going to play i
know where the strings
are and i know where the frets are because i do it all the time since about
1949 same with the bow and
arrow i think it's probably more crucial with the bow and arrow but as i tell
everybody i'm doing a
master class a rock and roll fantasy camp master class when is it um december 8th
anyhow you you
booked this master class with me and i explained how to express yourself on a
guitar quite honestly on
anything do they transfer over like the idea of expressing yourself with a bow
and arrow expressing
yourself with a guitar same if you're a great welder same a great electrician
same great mechanic samurai
miyamoto musashi said that yes once you understand the way broadly you will see
it in all things yes
in all things now see i didn't know that but i knew that yeah instead i'm an
instinctive guy
my instincts rule my life they're they're tuned in they've walked wild grounds
they've got you honor
those instincts like you treat them yeah respect i'm i genuflect at the altar
of my instinct
and in the hotel room or in your living room you could do archery if when you
first start you might
want to get a big backstop yeah but my kids learned archery and marksmanship in
the living room with
daisy red rider bb gun shooting the clothes pins in the fireplace with a bunch
of cardboard behind it
why not um archery will only be optimized repetition repetition i think
anything in life yeah guitar for
sure music um all the important things like welding and mechanics and how about
mechanics don't you just
worship great mechanics i do i worship these people i was going to bring my uh
1970s chevelle here
but uh unfortunately what's under the hood on that a 454 that's awesome you saw
my my fighter jet out
there what do you got out there i got a brand new it's just so much fun dodge
challenger hellcat
super sport wide body red eye 840 horse oh yeah and based on what's in the
trunk it is a fighter jet
i have a ram trx that's what that's a great truck except it's got a governor on
it won't go more than
118 miles an hour uh get rid of that you got to get it from hennessy yeah that's
right but i'm a high
performer i love high performance i do too i know you do that's why i was gonna
bring but i had to go
somewhere afterwards and i can't park the chevelle anywhere yeah it's like a
velvet prison i can't just
leave it somewhere you're 70 yeah and all rebuilt oh the suspension who did it
roaster shop yeah awesome
i i i got a 74 bronco that the texas metal maniacs i know you do yeah you have
a great collection of
cars your uh your love for broncos i love horsepower 72 i i got a i got a 66
completely frame off rebuild
but stock except for the improvements suspension drive train i got a 74 that
the texas metal maniac
gods of thunder have created for me that is just a snort monster i got an 82
with 90 body parts that
brian shoot back and dave miller you gotta go for a ride with me in this thing
it's got a roush yates
800 horsepower got curry axles it's i could take it to baja and just crush it's
so powerful it's so
performance it i it i something about those american muscle cars too american
muscles except the old
sound except the american muscle car from the muscle car era which i missed out
on because i was
too busy buying station wagons for the amboy dukes i've more than made up for
it because the hottest
most powerful muscle car from the muscle car era couldn't touch this fire
breathing hellcat red eye
no couldn't touch it not even close not even close so once i found out that
dodge was producing 700 800 840
horses from the factory i immediately called him and said i need i need a
couple of these you know you're
gonna hate this what can't touch any of these cars is my tesla that's what i
know everybody tells me that
i have a tesla model s plaid the new one jesus christ zero to one hundred and
four seconds
it's zero to 120 in four seconds it's zero to 60 in 1.9
it's a time machine like it doesn't make any sense like when you merge into
traffic i love that part it's
fucking insanity it's like this hellcat red eye whatever i want to go yeah i'm
there yeah they
don't even know i'm in town this thing is silent i know it's the most up part
about it you don't even
feel obnoxious outrageous like when you stomp on the gas on the trx it's like
bro i love it too
but there's something special about doing it in total silence the opening lick
of my new record detroit muscle
says strap your ass in i got a fire breathing mopar downtown detroit is like a
rock and roll dream
kick out the jams if you really want to go far motor city soul gonna make you
scream
every night down at woodward and telegraph every red light is like a drag race
hell
it talks all about the detroit fire of muscle cars they're canceling the hellcat
engine there's what
they're canceling the hellcat engine so does that mean they're going to
continue the demon i don't
think so i think they're going to go all electric they're going to go all
electric everything's going
electric it's so joe let me ask you all the lithium batteries where where they
going they're conflict
minerals they come from the ground ted and you got to get them from really up
places in the world who
convinced these idiots that this is right i think the idea is the emissions are
better so it is better for
our air but as far as like what it does for the environment and what it does
for conflict and
what it i mean you negative you have to get that stuff i mean all negative
there's the places in
the world where lithium is very plentiful or just some sketchy and our enemies
own it all yeah a lot
of them yeah i mean afghanistan is a huge uh place where they get lithium afghanistan
has a massive
supply of lithium but a lot of it is uh taken from also like africa has a lot
of it a lot of the different
areas where people are mining for lithium and there's a finite amount of it too
you know they're
like they were worried about running out of oil which they never did but they
were worried at one
point in time before they figured out how to do fracking a lot of other stuff
and then they figured
out that there was more reserves than they thought there were but they um they
kind of run out of
minerals too i'm sure unless they figure out how to recycle them the ones that
we have i like horsepower
my one bronco is uh tuned up because about 800 yards to the gallon the thing is
the sound it sounds so
sound is so the hellcat is so beautiful roush yates v8s so beautiful i love
them all but the old
sound is the best sound yep the old sound like i have a 1970 barracuda and you
hear that thing
it's awesome yeah but the new ones are just as good they're amazing the new mopars
are just as good as
the old ones it's like having sex with a condom on it's all coming through all
right i wouldn't know
1970 chevelle ss found parked on a garage is that yours 1978 oh no what yeah
that's insane just
looking in uh six days to go the story oh my god 454 or 396 454. oh my god that's
the one
well how about this joe how about you get incredible how about you could get a
454 in a corvette in 1974
that put out 190 horse they were dog shit absolute embarrassment well that was
after the gas crisis
right no but still kiss my ass horrible if we can get a horse per cube if we
can now get almost two
horses per cube what were they thinking back then well back then everybody lost
their mind when they had
a wait in line for gas during that whole gas crisis era america 73 fell apart
the golden age for american
muscle cars in my opinion is between 65 and with with a barracuda you can get
to 71. after 71 things
start getting real slippery they just start looking like you could get a comet
a mercury comet caliente
with a 411 rear end 427 that rated at over 450 horse with a hearse four speed
on the floor for
like three grand oh my god just three grand in america today's dollars yeah
what was that in today's
dollars if you like accounted for inflation 80 80 grand yeah that makes sense
my first bronco 1970 my
first bronco three grand brand new right off the showroom floor wow those cars
now now a hundred you get that
same view three thousand 1970s worth oh it's only worth 21 000 today oh that's
not that nicely done
jamie just a random calculator jamie is a technician i have no idea how he does
that jamie's the master
that's that's not that bad that's actually really reasonable jamie right yeah
see jamie is a perfect
example what i'm talking about if you want to play killer guitar you got to do
it every day if you want
to be a great welder you got to do it every day if you want to be a great
technician in the google world
you got to do it every day like jamie does a big salute to you jamie you are
the samurai of google
ology or whatever the hell do you use duck duck go at all jamie you should yeah
they don't track you
that way when you when you're googling something sketchy maybe you might want
to go over to duck
i know some of the landmines you're going to watch out for when you're googling
i pay no i have no idea
how to work that should i'm glad i just have this thing on my phone that you
gave me the address and i
punched it in and rocko my son showed me how to put it on the screen told me
where to go i remember in the
old days you have to stop at a pay phone have to stop at the golf station get
out a map and find
where you're going it was awesome i'm so glad i paid my dues in the 60s and 70s
you had to improvise
adapt and overcome you had to be a critical thing to read maps yeah you have to
know how to get from
point a to point b when there was only a map at the shell station i'm so glad i
busted my ass people
consider it a struggle it wasn't a struggle it was a orgy it was a riot it was
so much fun unbelievably hard
work yes but so invigorating so titillating so stimulating so intriguing every
out we played 350
concerts a year from 67 through 74 350 yes we played five days off a year i
dared my booking agent to let
us have a day off we play 40 50 shows in a row oh my god and i drove all of
them i did all the driving
i set up the equipment i booked the holiday and just about holiday and was a
three-folder uh brochure
and you could i could find the ones that were 9.95 a night we'd get one room
and we'd all stay in the
same room oh my god when when we stayed in a room typically it was on the road
the whole time everybody
slept in the car wow what a what a riot i've had and i've never do it again i
couldn't i couldn't possibly
survive that now when i go on tour next summer to make up for last year and
this year god damn it are we horny to
play again grayson jason hartless on drums greg smith on bass my crew linda doug
bobby my crew
it's if the military operated like my rock and roll machine we'd win every war
and we wouldn't go to
any illegal ones i have the best band the best crew the best team the best
management so efficient their job
description i was telling your buddy uh jeff here that's my brother's name i
was telling jeff i asked
him what he does and he goes a little bit of everything i went you could work
with me because my
everybody in my life the job description is yes i can do that and if i can i'll
figure it out be able to in three minutes
yeah that sounds like jeff now when you talk to a guy like you that's been
doing something
like playing music for as long as you have and you still love it as much as you
do that makes me very
happy it really does it makes me so i love that when people appreciate what
they do and love what they
do and and feel like they're in the right line of business the saddest in the
world is when you're
talking to someone who doesn't like what they do but let me i got let me
comment i think that's why i'm
here you know who i adore and worship and pray for and am inspired by kamala
harris yes because once
you identify that level of evil you know you have to fight for good sorry to
interrupt no but that's
who do you love that was good one because my response was even better my point
is you know who i
worship the rush hour motherfuckers of america the people at the checkout
counter at the grocery
store the people at the at the stores the the mechanics the people who bust
their ass to go in
some of them really love the mechanic work they really love being a a a chef
but some of them don't
but they still do it they know they have to be self-sufficient they know they
have to be
productive they know and i know these people and i am so humbled and honored
that i've been able to
pursue my my cravings not just my preferences i i i couldn't not play music it
it's it's it's who and
what i am i couldn't not go bow hunting it's it's it's my heartbeat but a lot
of people bust their ass to
be a good checkout guy and a good mechanic and a good janitor and a good and
they're not really in
love with it but they do it every day and as i come here today driving down 35
which by the way
you must know how much i love you because i would not do this i would not go
down i35 for just anybody
is i35 bad wait well today's the first time i've driven it since uh probably a
year ago when the
construction was still just a death wish but my my far tree stand is a pain in
the ass for me to get to
i don't go anywhere okay but to express myself with joe rogan i'm more than
happy to so to me coming from
los angeles these highways are a dream here there's no one it isn't coming from
los angeles yes it's so
much better my point is is that we have to give a huge heartfelt gonzo salute
to the working army of
america because a lot of them don't love their gig yeah but they still do it
and they're not getting rich
they can still live a good life if they use their head and what they spend
their money on and how the
how the improvised depth overcome and use their heads and i know all these
people i i have a campfire
every weekend september october into november i got a birthday hunt next in two
weeks i got a new
year's hunt and these people book these hunts with me from every imaginable
walk of life from every
imaginable job description from every imaginable ideology this sunrise safaris
yes sunrise and so you
are you doing this in michigan like where you where do you have in these we
start them in
michigan in september october for early november then we come down here and i
have
my birthday hunt and then my new year's hunt and then i go to the triple seven
ranch in hondo
for an annual hunt so i book ted nugent hunts and they go on the campfire i
play my guitar we
bullshit we shoot at the range together and how do people sign up for these
they go to sunrise safaris
on my website and just any normal person yeah with ted nugent book it they sign
a waiver i think the waiver
says if i if i snap and stab them in the head it's their fault um a lot like
the waiver you tried to
get me to sign coming in here which i will sign after we dissect it but my
point is is that i know
these kickers right i i hear them and around my camp you can tell that there's
no inhibitions
nobody hesitates to tell me anything they believe whether it's conflicting
suspicious
uh out of character out of line so i get such beautiful feedback raw unvarnished
honest feedback about every imaginable from the good the bad the ugly
especially with all the bad
and the ugly that the world is producing right now so i know these people and i
know that that hardware
store clerk saved money to go hunting with me and he tells me about his truck
and his new rifle and he's
a hardware clerk i know how these people operate they're frugal they're smart
their work ethic is
is godlike and they're my campfire and they share what fred bear means what stranglehold
means what
what my music means to them what freedom means to them what the first amendment
means to them what the
second amendment means to them how distrusting the government is how they love
their family how
they they love their daughter at the volleyball i mean i get such a a totality
of input from just great shit kicker americans that when i speak it's not ted
nugent stuff it's the
accumulation of this raw honest unvarnished evidence that goes into my psyche
so when i comment about
something it's not well my my presumption would be i don't presume i hear from
then i've been doing this
the campfire thing for almost 40 years so for 40 years you've been having these
just yeah it's with
yeah and random and then the backstage and then the backstage banter and then
the people stopped
me at the gas station the people stopped me at old foods and the coffee shop
and the input they're
uninhibited and they they they want to share with me because they see me saying
what they're not even
allowed to say that's what they all almost all of them reference that god i
wish i could see what you
said i'd get fired if i said it thank you so much that's the real problem with
the job right that's
the real problem it's uh being able to express your opinions is very hard yeah
that's a giant and
harder so today because of social media i mean it's uh people are getting fired
for stuff they said on
their social media 10 years ago unbelievable yeah and particularly today with
like it doesn't even
have to be controversial i was talking to this guy uh uh dr mike hart from canada
guy who's been on my
show today uh before in the past and he was telling me that he posted something
on linkedin and it was
just a study showing um how people uh should take vitamin d and it was associating
high levels of
vitamin d with positive covet 19 so far so good outputs that's it it was just a
scientific paper
he shared on linkedin and he it got banned like they they they pulled it down
and there was nothing
he i go send me what you wrote like i'll read it to you because it's so crazy
isn't that heartbreaking
here it is this is what he wrote vitamin d treatment shortened hospital stay
and decreased mortality in
covet cases even the existence of comorbidities vitamin d supplementation is
effective on various target
parameters therefore it's essential for covet 19 treatment it's a pubbed study
it's a peer-reviewed
study and it is in no way anti-vaccine it's in no way anything there's nothing
negative about it at
all it's just saying that vitamin d is very important to your immune system so
he put he publishes this
and it gets pulled from linkedin they literally said you know we're pulling
this down it's been removed
because it goes against our professional community policies like sure what the
does that even mean this
guy's a doctor he's a medical he's an md and they're professional it's crazy
devil paul i mean
how i don't understand how evil can you not to be understood there is evil in
this world and when you
have someone recommending an upgrade procedure for quality health and someone bans
it the people who
bans that recommended upgrade for quality health is pure evil that's all you
need to understand there's
a there's a there's a narrative holy shit hey jeff or josh bring me some water
there's water right
here buddy is there water yeah there's water in that there for you that's it
never mind jeff and josh
you got it the there's no reason why anybody should not be able to talk about
things that are helpful
and the narrative today is it's either the vaccine or nothing and anything that
shows you that you're
healthier because of it in some way or another could increase vaccine hesitancy
like they they want you
to be sick unless you take a vaccine it's really strange cruel evil hateful
rotten to the core that
whole leftist agenda that media academia big tech censorship hollywood it's
fucking strange rotten
it's not really straight strange in america because it's never been this
horrible but historically
this level of evil and rot has existed if you're aware of the trail of tears or
the baton death march
or the uh or the rape of nan king um if you're not aware of that stuff then
this would be shocking to
you but if you're aware of the depth of evil and cruelty and demonacy of
mankind then this is nothing
different than the history of evil and cruelty and demonacy of mankind and that
describes the left
how'd it come out like this though because the left was all about like make
love not war i don't think
so but what happened like what why did it shift very careful totalitarian like
ideology that must be
subscribed to and then this this giving into authority which is weird i will
not comply joe i'm here to
help you know i'm here to help and i respect your elders right yes do not
bother yourself with the big
question why just acknowledge if the guy's breaking into your house you have to
shoot him you don't
need to know why he's breaking into i know but i'm a curious person so i just
don't understand how so
many people are going along with this i understand that it's anxiety that goes
along with the pair the
pandemic and there's also this desire to not be attacked so you attack others i
get that i get i get
all the psychological mechanisms that are at play that allow people to fall
into this sort of totalitarian
thinking because the the totalitarian thinking is so strange to me that it's
coming from the left that
they're giving in to this authoritarianism they're giving in to this idea that
the government is your
friend and the pharmaceutical companies are looking out for your best interest
it's the craziest thing
ever to have that come from the most educated i mean if you look at
traditionally the people on the left
traditionally have the most education or they might not be the most intelligent
where did that education
come from what is the content of that education for sure but it's it's still in
their eyes
like for throughout history if you if you talk to people like if you talk to
people in the 1990s about the left
from the left and you ask them do you trust the pharmaceutical companies they'd
be like
no if you talk to people in the 2000s that were dealing with the opioid crisis
and all the other
issues i mean if you watch that show dope sick if you see like the depths that
these pharmaceutical
companies have gone to in order to sell poison to people and to talk to people
and lie to them to
tell them this poison is not addictive and to trick politicians and i have a
friend who used to be a
sales rep and he and i were talking about this the other day and he used to be
a sales rep for
pharmaceutical pharmaceutical companies and he said they would tell him you are
going to be best friends
with that doctor you're going to know his kids names you're going to show up at
his kids games you're
going to get them free tickets to baseball games you're going to get them free
meals you're going
to do whatever you can to get inside their good graces and the idea is to get
them to prescribe as
much of our drugs as possible and he was i had never heard this i i knew that
he had done something in the
pharmaceutical industry but i didn't know how deep it was and he and i had this
conversation about it
it was mind-blowing and he's your friend because his conscience kicked in yeah
well he's not in that
business at all that's my point his conscience kicked he was young he was like
21 years old when
he was doing this like fresh out of college well the movie the fugitive yeah
manipulate it to become
rich and controlled in control and they could they could give a about how many
lives are lost but when
he was explaining how this guy makes this amount of money because he sells this
amount and he has this
and they they had a list down of all the doctors that prescribed the most drugs
and all the doctors
that'll prescribe the most ssris the most painkillers the most anxiety
medication and that they're just
fucking handing this out like candy and they're being encouraged to do this
from these pharmaceutical
companies and they're sort of paid but not really it's a lot of it is influence
a lot of it is
influence through giving them free things giving them free meals it is but it's
also like they develop
this reputation and this relationship with these doctors and these nurses and
they take everyone
to dinner and then when someone comes along they go well well pfizer's your
friend pfizer's my friend
and then next thing you know they're prescribing whatever the fuck pfizer's
selling mankind is so
capable of soulless weakness where you can buy their soul you can buy their
decision you can you can have
them look away from their morals to enrich and empower themselves but again
when you start asking why i
don't know why isn't eric holder and uh barack obama in prison for killing brian
terry i mean why is
brian terry brian terry was the michigan uh border agent that was killed with
the guns that barack obama
and all right gave to the mexican drug cartels that killed brian terry was that
operation called yeah
fast and furious furious that's right i mean that was that was the crazy i mean
explain what that was
because it is one of the craziest things to imagine that they thought this was
a good idea they legally
sold i mean legally in court according to them sold drugs or sold guns rather
than mexican cartels
because they wanted to be able to track them yes they what they were so figure
out they were so anti-gun
barack obama and eric holder two of the biggest punks that ever slithered the
earth that they were
going to provide as much firepower to the most evil people the child molester
the child traffickers the
drug importers the fentanyl producers they provided guns to the mexican drug
cartel devils
to show that those types of weapons were will end up committing crimes in america
because they
also had the borders open where they could bring the guns that eric holder and
barack obama gave to the
drug cartels american guns mostly ars in in 1911 45s and 10 millimeters a lot
of delta elites they
provided them in fact mike mike the ffl in uh in uh prescott in phoenix that
the fbi and the dea used to
provide all these firearms to the mexican drug cartels knowingly claiming eric
and holder barack
obama claiming well we need to track these guns to show you where they go so we
can we can get the
guys that use them illegally no that's what they were doing they were doing it
so that they would
use them illegally so they could pass more restrictive gun laws in america in
other words
providing firepower to the mexican gangs would somehow support the theory that
gun control in america
would make our streets safer is this this is brian terry was shot with one of
those uh sks's it was
ak-47 no it was not a collision to cough machine gun it was an sks semi-automatic
now is this a theory
that this is why they did this no it came out i mean the book i got to get the
book i'll get the guy's
name but is this is it a theory that this was the motivation for them selling
these drugs or these
guys came out it came out in documents that surfaced so in documents it surfaced
that showed a direct
connection between them selling the guns and wanting to pass more restrictive
second amendment laws yep
who's hey hey anybody wants to take my guns you whoa that's strong strong words
from ted nugent
i can't believe you're saying that when you handed me this flag with a cannon
on it that's what's
hilarious mike daddy you ready yeah fast and furious mike daddy get up hey jamie
get the book by mike
daddy i think it might be called fast and furious uh d-e-t-t-y he filmed the dea
and fbi instructing
him to sell guns to known gang members from mexico he had cameras in his house
as he had mountains of
1911s and colt ar-15s as the dea and fbi operation wide receiver everybody and
if i struggle the book to
expose the corruption and deceit that led to operation fast and furious mike
daddy wow cheryl atkins did
anybody go to jail for that operation fast and furious no no one went to jail
and so when you
start asking why you'd have to start there why so explain that he had cameras
in his house he had
cameras in his house filming and recording the dea and the atf by the way let's
let's take a little
side trip here shall we okay mr government bureaucrat um we decided the
different bureaucracies that we
need another bureaucracy to maybe milk some more tax dollars out of the
american public and uh bloat it
to such a degree that we have ten thousand people doing the job of nine follow
me on this so they
had a little meeting one day in a room and we need another bureaucracy you know
we could probably make
it really over bloated and expansive and waste a lot of tax dollars well but i
don't know what the
bureaucracy should be about somebody in the back room went alcohol well now we
don't really need the
government doesn't really have anything to say about alcohol not since the
prohibition so uh
uh somebody else went well that doesn't matter let's just have an alcohol
bureaucracy so the
bureaucrats in the room went yeah why not let's have it the bureau of alcohol
somebody in the back
of the room went tobacco tobacco throw it tobacco in there they went well what
does the government
have to do with tobacco it's just a fucking agriculture crop we don't have any
say in that
somebody in the room went yeah we don't need to just throw out tobacco tobacco
tobacco so these
bureaucrats went yeah we could create a giant bloated wasteful um arbitrary
bureau of alcohol and tobacco
great somebody in the back of the room went skateboards skateboards skateboards
they went no that's a
little fun i don't think we'll ever convince anybody we need to control alcohol
tobacco and skateboards
so somebody in the back of the room went guns let's do throw guns in there well
that doesn't really
make what is really alcohol tobacco and firearms that just there's really the
second amendment there's
no reason to have a bureaucracy and the people in the room went the does that
matter let's just create
a bureaucracy that deals with alcohol tobacco and firearms that is a weird
group and so these
assholes in the room went yeah we could probably start a law enforcement agency
and bloat the
shit out of that and then we could tax and we could have studies and we could
go after people and we
could so we could infringe but it says it shall not be infringed ah that we can
infringe if we want to
joe rogan smart smart man i dare you to explain why there is such a bureaucracy
that deals with alcohol
tobacco and firearms it's impossible it's what's the kind of numb nut came up
with that by the way all
you atf agents out there you soulless pricks how do you not challenge your boss
that your agency
is against the law in the united states of america and i know some of these
guys and some of these
guys are pretty good guys but if you were a pretty good bass player you couldn't
be in my band
because you have to be a really good base they have to be the best bass player
and you have to be
honest and you have to stand up for what you believe in and all you atf agents
and de agents and fbi
agents you took an oath to the constitution of the united states of america you
punks
every day you violate that sacred oath how can you live with yourselves how can
you face your children
knowing that you support an agency that has to do with alcohol tobacco and
firearms don't you know
deep in your soul that that is so stupid and so anti-american that you must
have bouts of guilt and i would recommend that
you implement those bouts of guilt and you fight with good americans to
eliminate these illegal immoral
anti-american anti-freedom oath violating bureaucracies i rest my case and now
if you come after me because
of my joe rogan rant bring it the on wow how did it start like how long ago
what's holding a rumor yeah i understand shoe laces but i mean prohibition
prohibition so it's been
that you want out since the 1930s before that even but the atf oh nugent's
really going to get in
trouble now we're rooting over the top fuck you i'm a free american if i want
to have to alcohol
tobacco or a firearm there's no man that has any input into that decision-making
process those are my
decisions what is the idea of the atf like today i can't imagine do they serve
i can't imagine are they
in is that the only regulatory body when it comes to firearms like there there
are some regulations
when it comes to firearms your sheriff department has that control your state
troopers have that control
your city police have that control and unfortunately there is federal control
right there's some federal
control firearms no why is there it's it's a constitutional right what the how
how does a
federal agent think he can control tobacco where do you get the authority the
idea is that you need
a tobacco stamp but that's an agriculture right why do you need a tobacco stamp
yeah why do you why
do you need a tomato stamp do i need a permit or paperwork or a license for my
first amendment i guess
the idea is all three of them kill people i mean is that the only thing they
share in common it seems
like it is joe i have a first amendment yes before it was written down i had it
before they wrote it
down how'd you do that because i was born with it i got it from god oh the
founding fathers wrote it
down because king george and his punks thought that they can control our
religions and our speaking you
know it's interesting what's going on in australia today you think the uh over-the-top
police state
in response to my whole point yeah that that would not be possible in america
under the current laws
the way it sits right now because too many people are armed particularly here
hallelujah especially in
this room you wouldn't be able to you literally wouldn't be able to do that you
wouldn't be able to
just roam the streets and lock people down think of a president of the united
states when discussing the
second amendment who is so brain dead soulless and evil to the core he is the
supposedly commander-in-chief
president of the united states of america the one we have now yes whatever that
thing is
punk he barely knows he's a president though
might that's my point so he's talking about the second amendment not that long
ago recently
and he goes well you got to be kidding me i mean you can keep and bear arms but
what are you gonna
do we have nuclear weapons let's stop and take a a moment and examine the
thought process of the
president of the united states instead of supporting the people's god-given
individual right is guaranteed
by the second amendment to keep and bear arms instead of voicing compassionate
freedom loving support for
that self-evident truth he threatened us that our second amendment will do no
good against the atomic
nuclear power of that prick what what are you saying he said your second
amendment won't do any good
because we have nuclear weapons don't you remember that exchange no i don't
well i'm glad i'm here to
remind you well i'll get jamie to find it jamie find that one he literally said
he said are they
going to nuke the that's my point what kind of subhuman prick well it's just
their perspective is
so whirls his way up to the commander-in-chief position and then instead of voicing
support for
the self-evident truth that god gave us the right to freedom of speech and keep
and bear arms instead of
stating that as a representative of the american experiment and self-government
he took the
enemy's perspective and said your second amendment won't do any good because we
have nuclear weapons
is that real did he really say see your question just like i believe you i i
believe you but i'm
everything i say is true i believe you that's what glenn beck said when i said
you know 96 of violent
crimes are repeated hold on look at this wrote down i might add the second
amendment from the day it was
passed limited the type of people could own a gun what type of weapon you could
own you couldn't buy
cannon those who say the blood of the the blood of patriots you know and all
the stuff about how we're
going to have to move against the government well the tree of liberty is not
watering the blood of patriots
what's happened is that there never been if you wanted to think you need to
have weapons to take
on the government you need f-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons the point is
that there's always been
the ability to limit rationally limit the type of weapon that can be owned and
who can own it the last
time we had data on this look at that freak listen to this man purchasing guns
was more than 20 years ago
five percent of gun dealers turns out in the study we did showed that 90
percent of illegal guns were
found in the crime scenes sold by five percent of gun dealers five percent so
90 percent he's already
made the statement that we our second amendment won't do any good unless we
have f-15s and nuclear weapons
taking on the government that was i don't even that's not what he's there for
he's not there
for us to take him on he's there for to support us yeah he's supposed to work
he's supposed to help
defend us not defend against us he's not supposed to be our boss either he's
supposed to work for us
which is a strange concept for people to get in their head like these these
people are not supposed
to be running us they're supposed to be working for us to enhance our life here
in america but
this idea that there's always been a restriction on the type of weapons that
you could have that's not true
that's not true at all it's not in the constitution nope if you look at the
bill of rights if you look
at the second amendment it doesn't say anything about you can't have a cannon
bear arms it does yeah it
says the the right to a well-armed militia to keep and bear arms the right to
form a well-armed militia in
the atmosphere of king george's men coming to disarm us yeah and in the
atmosphere of the potential tyranny
from a corrupt government and if you don't think that it's possible for a
corrupt government
just look to the past it's it just doesn't mean it's happening right now we're
gonna have to take
arms against the government but there could and i think until covet came around
and until we saw
what's going on in australia and in some other parts of the world where you do
see unarmed populations
who are being controlled by police states like look what's happening in hong kong
right look what's
happening in other parts of the world where they they don't have any weapons
they don't have any control
and they're being controlled by these totalitarian regimes bingo yeah bingo
that this this idea of
taking up arms it it becomes more and more possible in a lot of people's eyes
today tyrants see the news
tyrants need unarmed and helpless victims they do yeah and you know it's also
the way people behave
they behave and think differently when they're governing people that are unarmed
they really do
always historically it's i mean i i never went to college i was too busy
learning stuff and i've never
read many books i haven't read any books i think i wrote king dog of the north
you know you don't read
books at all i don't read books um i write books but i uh study information and
i communicate with wise
people who do know history and i got to tell you stuff like uh um the discovery
channel and the
occasional nova special when they delve into the history and even a guy like tucker
carlson who
brings forth unlimited evidence to support his statements and whether it's
footage like the
footage of uh fast and furious or whether it's footage of the president
claiming that our second
amendment won't help against the government unless we have f-15s and nuclear
weapons i don't need to
know anything more than what i hear from the mouths of suspicious people that
are executing tyranny and
control over innocent lives and here's a part of the problem with what he said
the military is run by
regular people it's regular people that are the army it's regular people that's
right we the people
marines the navies the seals all the green berets the rangers those are regular
people those are
those are not tyrants i've i've done those are us i've done raids with atf
agents dea agents fbi
agents did you ask them why the tobacco and the alcohol and the firearms all
together and they they don't
like it of course they don't like it when i ask them and they don't they don't
like it when i ask them
how they face their children and they don't like it when i ask them how they
could follow somebody like
j edgar hoover or james comey right um they don't like it when i ask them
because and here's the horror
of it you're ready for the i've said a lot of hard things here today and i've
said a lot of lovely
buoyant things today a lot of positive stuff hills and valleys i think yeah i
got this thing called life
it's called a roller coaster you know you're all over the place it's an
adventure yeah i'm all over
the place i live a full life god bless me the fbi agents that decided to commando
up and go arrest
roger stone with the cnn cameras rolling how do you obey an immoral command
like that how do you obey an
oath violating command like that and i know these guys i hunt with these guys i
train with these guys i
i shoot with these guys i bullshit with these guys and you know what they say
the horror of horrors
this is going to be the lowest point of this entire exchange today i'd lose my
pension great great so
morals be damned your conscience is put on hold so you can get a paycheck even
though you're violating
your fellow american's rights i don't think we can be friends i i i mean i'm
incapable of that there's
morals there's conscience you all know what's right and what's wrong and there's
so many examples whether
it's lauren lon horiachi why that prick's not in prison or face that the guy
who shot vicky weaver
oh this is the ruby ridge ruby ridge yeah so this guy yeah so you can just
shoot people really how
about the how about the the atf clusterfuck of the branch davidians i mean
there's no accountability
how about the the heartbreaking tragic oath violating clusterfuck of benghazi
so it did it's that's water under the bridge really so if someone rapes your
daughter since
she's already raped we don't have to get the guy that did it no it's not done
till you get the guy
that did it and he's eliminated one way or the other there is no justice in
america and our our court
systems until kyle rittenhouse i didn't think there was any justice left thank
god for kyle rittenhouse
uh i i i'm gonna i think you probably read i'm sending him a lifetime supply of
good ammo um that
was a moment in time for america where we can take a deep breath and go thank
god a jury in kenosha
still has a soul a conscience and they understand glaring right over glaring
wrong glaring good over
glaring evil is there a story in our lifetime that has had more misrepresentation
in the
media in terms of like what the narrative is versus what actually happened well
maybe i'm in the
huffington post wrote that i adopted a nine-year-old girl to have sex with what's
her name the lies
they've said about me nugent dodged the draft didn't dodge the draft a nugent's
a racist my my bass player
is black um they because they can't debate me because i'm my my speech is so drenched
in evidence to
support everything i stand for pierce morgan that they they know they can't
debate me i remember
that the pierce morgan thing was fascinating because he tried to equate he was
talking about
gun violence but he he didn't understand that when he was quoting those numbers
so many of those people
that died were killed in the process of committing crimes yes or suicide yeah
or suicide with gun violence
yeah so many so many instances so but what i want to get back to the kyle rittenhouse
thing though it's
like so many people didn't even know that he shot white guys until the trial
was almost over or
people that i know that i was friends with they didn't even know that someone
had pulled a gun
on him they chased him down or that the riots were based on the claim by cnn
that the the the guy that
the cops shot was dead they didn't kill him the cops murdered an unarmed black
man the uh blake guy or
whatever his name was that the cops were called in kenosha which which was the
impetus of the riots
they go they murdered an innocent unarmed black man but he's alive isn't it
fascinating too though that
what happens during these uh a lot of these riots is people that are already
bad people use these riots as
an excuse to do violent acts and that's what you saw with the one guy that he
shot that was a multiple
offender pedophile lifetime yeah i mean he had had he had raped multiple young
kids i mean he's a
horrible person devil the other guy was a wife beater a domestic abuser these
these guys that were there
were horrific people i i get a shout out to you recently i don't know if
anybody told you that but i gave a
shout out to michael berry and joe paggs and tucker carlson and sean hannity
and and lars larson and
mark davis all these conservative talk show people there's a there's a term i i
beseech you to begin
parroting and it is at the core of all heartbreak tragedy and victimization
engineered victimization in
america and the term i coined in a recent well that's not recent it was years
ago is that based on
many uniform crime reports by the fbi one of the rare moments where they can be
trusted
is that upwards of 96 percent of violent crime that's a huge number it's as
good as 100 as far as
i'm sure if you're 96 likely to kill an elk on that hunt you're going to
probably kill an elk
96 percent of violent crime is committed by repeat offenders what we are living
in today
is the scourge of engineered recidivism the violent offenders that are
guaranteed to repeat their crimes
are led out by the courts the judges the prosecutors the parole boards and the
negotiation of early release
or plea bargaining well i know he shot a guy but maybe we can get him to
testify against the guy who
drove the getaway car no no stop engineered recidivism all the when you say
engineered do you think this
is done on purpose yes it has to be because you can't not know it if i was a
tinfoil hat wearing
conspiracy theorist person i would i would say that too and i'm resisting it
with with every fiber of my
being as do i but when i look at like what's going on in los angeles in
particular where they are
letting people out left and right and you've got robberies all over the place
it is engineered
but i know what la used to be like because i used to live there it used to be
different just five
years ago sure it's very different but the district attorney that they have now
this guy gascon
monster and george soros evil's best friend it's crazy the way they're letting
people out of jail
well you were talking people that commit violent crimes you were talking to
jackal or jaco one of
your guys yeah about the the shootout the yeah yeah the chicago one yeah and
they on film here's
these guys combat breaking felony after felony after felony with illegal guns
felony they got him on film
they know the guy there's his picture he's on film nobody's prosecuted not only
you've got to be
kidding me they dropped all the charges yes due to mutual combat which is
supposed to be two guys
having a fist fight that's what mutual combat supposed to be that's my point
that is shootout
that is engineered recidivism they know these are but here's the thing why are
they doing that there's
that why question again i don't give a but i do i want to know what's the end
goal there must be some
end goal to destroy society but why would they want to do that i can't imagine
i can't imagine either
but if i look and you have a great imagination i have a great imagination i
could probably come up with
some well maybe it's well maybe it's maybe it's this don't give yourself a
headache steps if you took
all these steps step one defund the police step one hire these insane
progressive air quotes crime
loving prosecutors da's that are letting people off and like the guy in wisconsin
that ran over those 50
people that guy they had just he had tried to run over his girlfriend engineer
he was out on only a
thousand dollars bail i tried to kill somebody with a car he was out on a
thousand dollars bail and then
he runs over 50 people in a car engineered recidivism and then here's the
fucked up part the way they're
covering that story in the news it's all about the car the man you know there's
it's not the man who
killed those people it's a an accident that was caused by an suv a fucking suv
caused an accident
what are you saying did it go haywire did the auto driving feature go nuts and
it just plowed into the crowd no that
engineered man with real problems like a really psycho psychologically
human being drove into a crowd of strangers listen to the words out of the
prosecutorial team
at the kyle rittenhouse trial listen to the words out of their mouths and don't
give yourself a headache
you'll get an aneurysm if you pursue the question why would they say that why
would that prosecuting team
say that when someone is attacking you with a gun and a skateboard that we all
have to put up with
a beating once in a while and there's no reason really what they said they said
that way they said
there's we all have to put up with a beating once in a while that was that
actual words that they said
we all have to put up with a beating listen to me closely really yes we jim you'll
find it
there's first of all i've seen a video of a security guard that got hit in the
head with a skateboard
that caved his skull yes that's my point brain damage it's a horrible photo
like the half of his
head is like caved in people in charge of justice are claiming that you must
take a beating with a guy
with an oak skateboard and a glock pointed at your head that you just need to
bend over spread your cheeks
and take it that's what the prosecuting team said that's what the chicago
prosecutor said that's what
the new york prosecutor said that's what the portland prosecutor said that's
what the seattle prosecutor
said that's what the atlanta prosecutor said one week before the cop shot the
guy that was running
he was on parole already stealing a mercedes and he turned the taser gun on the
cop the week before
that event the prosecutor said yes when faced with a uh the deadly force of a
taser gun deadly force
is justified now since the the guy with the taser was black and the cop was
white now the same
prosecutor said there's no reason to shoot a man with a taser gun because it
can only cause temporary
harm all right don't ask why don't ask why a guy would lie first of all that
that's not logical here's
here's why there is no logic if someone shoots you with a taser then they have
your gun because if
you're tased then they have your gun yes and if you're unarmed michael brown
and you're attacking
this cop you're unarmed until you get the cop's gun and statistically you will
he will kill him with
the cop's gun you must neutralize this person i just don't understand you will
never understand it's
not to be understood because you're a good man and you're good it causes evil
to be confusing so just
let it be confusing so much going on that's so crazy that it makes your head
hurt when you hear about
like them essentially like allowing people to come across the border from mexico
they're trying to
stop it now apparently biden is going to reinstate trump's stay in mexico
policy holy
which he criticized and called racist a little too late and now there's such an
influx of people coming
in from the mexican border that they're trying to do something about it but
they're moving these people
to all these different states at the same time they're trying to say that
having an id to vote
is racist which at the same time they're saying you have to have an id to show
that you've been
tested for covet at the same time or that you've been vaccinated for covet but
at the same time they're
not vaccinating these people who they're letting into the country it is wild
which is why i never ask
why but i ask why my brain my brain tells me that it is so bizarre it's so
bizarre so illogical it is so
wrong that you just old yeller brings you the newspaper and your slippers he
saves you from the
rattlesnake and the cougar hug him kiss him give him a bone you wake up one
morning an old yeller's
foaming at the mouth it's gonna hurt but you're gonna have to shoot the
motherfucker because he's
got rabies because logic should rule the day and if you try to ask why anything
from the left
you'll have an aneurysm because the there is no answer but don't you think that
there's something
to asking why because if you can at least show the path of corruption that led
to these district
attorneys that are willing to let out violent criminals that threaten everybody's
health
and safety and if you could show that to people that have been in support of
more lenient policies
in terms of like prosecuting criminals and you could show them that this is
what's going on and that
this is somehow or another there's it's almost like it's engineered if and but
that this will cause
people to question things and maybe make people more aware of how these people
are that are making these
laws are the people are that are enforcing these laws or not enforcing these
laws i will give you
the benefit of the doubt that the question why may facilitate an inquiry into
the origins of this evil
and corruption it's going to open people's eyes and what they call red pill
them right i have found
more effective just spotlighting the cockroaches identifying their insanity and
let's just talk left
versus right my brother and i have this unbelievable friction right now because
he hated trump to such
a degree that he called me the maniac and i love you jeff i truly love my
brother he's a great man
so you hated trump if so that means you're siding with this evil force that's
taken over our government
now so someone explain to me and give me an example of where open borders
brought quality of life you
can't tell me where engineered recidivism and the unleashing of the most evil
savages
in the human race onto our streets is benefiting quality and my i could go
right down the list
the left's agenda i don't need to know why they're doing it i just need to
identify that they are doing
it and how innocent lives are being lost look at the prosecutor in waukesha who's
on record that i know my
diverting prosecution will cause the loss of innocent lives that's quite a
statement
he said my this is the guy that let the guy out for a thousand dollars my
choice ran over 50 people
and jamie will put it up on the screen my choice my decision said the
prosecutor in waukesha
a great community i love those people i've been performing wisconsin for over
60 years so he said he knew
that it would cause a loss of life he said my diversionary prosecution diverting
prosecution
would cause the loss of innocent life but here's the clincher and don't ask why
but i stand by
my decision that is the same thing as saying i want innocent lives lost
don't ask why that's just don't you also think there's a political climate
there's a political
climate of police reform and of justice reform and this is you know i'm all for
i'm all for
letting innocent people get out of jail that you know the innocence project's
done amazing work exposing
where corrupt cops they got to put people in jail for corrupt systems did not
in corrupt systems put
people in jail for crimes they did not commit horror but when someone is like
that guy who ran over those
people that guy was a tortured soul he's a horrible human being like it's it's
clear if you pay
attention dangerous dangerous they let him out and he committed a horrendous
evil that is
fucked and i don't think it's a right or a left thing here's the thing about
open borders you know
you think about the left who's more left than bernie sanders it's about as left
as it gets right yeah
jamie go to my twitter go to my twitter because there's a conversation
with uh ezra klein who's also like super left who's talking to bernie sanders i
believe it's from
2015. well i admit they have sanders but no bernie sanders has an a fascinating
take on open borders
and i think a lot of people be shocked to hear this with the thoughts of today
like because if today
in this climate if you say anything against open borders you're you're some
kind of a racist and a
monster right listen listen to this because it's fascinating just press clear
something that is in what you
said about being a democratic socialist is a more international view but i have
seen the global
poverty that seriously it leads you to conclusions that in the u.s are
considered out of political
bounds things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit even up
to the up to a
level of open borders about sharply increasing open borders that's a koch
brothers proposal
the idea of course i mean that's a right-wing proposal which says essentially
there is no united
states but anybody it would make a lot of global poor richer wouldn't it and
make everybody in
america poor then you're doing away with with the concept of a nation state and
i don't think
there's any country on the world which believes in that if you believe in a
nation state or in a
country called the united states or uk or denmark or any other country you have
an obligation in
my view to do everything we can to help poor people what right-wing people in
this country would love
is an open border policy bringing all kinds of people who work for two or three
dollars an hour
that would be great for them i don't believe in that i think we have to raise
wages in this country
i think we have to do everything that we can to create the millions of jobs you
know what
youth unemployment in the united states of america today if you're white a
white kid high school
graduate 33 percent a hispanic 36 percent african american 51 percent you think
we should open the
borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers what do you think maybe we
should try to get jobs for those kids
so i think from a moral responsibility we've got to do work with the rest of
the industrialized world
to uh to address the problems of international poverty but you don't do that by
making people in this
country even how amazing is that it's amazing but i give him credit for a rare
maybe one-time hiccup
of sense but within that rare one-time hiccup of sense about borders he tried
to convince somebody not me
that it's a right-wing policy of open borders well i think you just thought
that because you could get
a lot of cheap labor to come in and you could pay them as little as possible
except that the evidence
is irrefutable and inescapable that the open borders is a direct result of barack
obama and and
joe biden and the left it's a left thing it is it certainly is now it certainly
is now i mean what's
what's happening now is certainly the way the way people are looking at it now
is a direct result of
this idea that to not have open borders is somehow racist to want to stop
people that are coming in
here and i want people to do better i i want people that want to come into this
country and work hard
i love immigration opportunity i'm all for immigration i'm all for banking i'm
not for bank robbing right
and i'm all right see but that's just this is just fascinating that ideologically
things have
shifted so much that like what the parameters are of like what's what is
acceptable points that you
could talk about and the way you could say it if someone tried to talk like
that on the left today
they they would say this is a alt-right person how old how old is that 2015.
isn't that amazing
six years later the world's gone wacky it's social media yeah social media and
these echo chambers of
these kids that get right out of universities or in in universities right now
and then get out and
they're in these social justice warrior echo chambers and they just spout out
this and they
they do without any understanding of what the ramifications are of what they're
doing when he's
saying that this is a koch brothers idea if you tried to say that today people
would laugh in your
face yeah because what the because it's laughable yeah but what he's saying i
understand his perspective
he's saying that and he's looking at it from this cartoonish version of what a
right-wing person is
the cartoonish version meaning this heartless person who wants slaves you want
people to work for pennies
so wrong it's so false it's just false false false false false but they have to
go to that outrageous
dishonest misrepresentation to make their point because bernie is a communist
and and i've never
i don't care if he supported buying me ammo he'd still be a communist would
probably just a tactic
to try to make a to weasel his way into a believability factor because overall
all of these leftists
the media academia big tech when they censor the recommendation of how people
can get healthy when
it's been proven from a doctor i don't need to ask why it's bad they're bad
people yeah well that that
this this the coveted narrative is the most insane so joe if i was in charge
and i am in charge of my
life yes i'm in charge of my life i'm the authority nobody has authority over
me now i obey the laws but
i'd like to think that the laws that i obey came from we the people for safe
secure um
compassionate um pleasurable quality of life perspectives yeah um my son rocco
all my kids
my grandkids my brother and sister my incredible wife shemaine shemaine i love
you so much it's
it's deep into the realm of stupid i love you so much my band my crew my linda
been my personal
assistant for 33 years oh linda i love you so much and doug my manager for 40
some years give it a lot
of shout outs yeah i do and i love these people that what's your what's your
experience and you invited
me i'm them i'm that i'm the mouth and effervescence dare i say of the positive
quality smart cocky
hard-working critical thinking buoyant energized people in my life all the
people in my life all my
friends i'm doing a ted nugent greasy speakeasy at tucker hall in waco on saturday
december 4th
with johnny cutts on drums and johnny big on bass with calvin ross lone star
music yeah i'm
getting a lot of shout outs because my life would be meaningless without the
people i'm shouting out
to right we're getting somewhere though and yes we're getting somewhere that my
perspective and how
i manage my life you can't call it right wing you call it sensible and
thoughtful that's the problem
isn't it that there is a right wing and a left wing because i think a lot of
people are in the middle
a lot of people are i think i believe me when i and i i would like your take on
it i'm a middle guy i got
gay friends and black friends and trans friends and i can get friends how many
transfers i got at the
last nra convention i had these trans guys coming up to me i guess they were
guys i don't know
they love me they hug me and they love that i stand up for their freedom self-defense
and first
amendment and and people on this i would love to see what this country would be
like without any
censorship on the internet i really would i'd be zero i would be fascinated to
be way better than this
with if you could express yourself with no limitations on social media i mean i
don't mean like doxing
people giving people's addresses you can't threaten right but what i do mean is
if you could argue your
position freely without any worry of being pulled from the internet because
that has happened to so many
people you know like there's so many people whose voices have been completely
silenced and there's people
that are famous that have had their voices silenced and there's people that you've
never heard of
that for whatever reason they said something that someone didn't agree with so
they just banned them
it's unbelievable it's so wrong it's fascinating because just like with mike
hart this thing with
it's just vitamin d unbelievable there's things like that you know there was a
thing called the unity
2020 project that brett weinstein tried to put together and the idea was to
bring people from the left
and the right there were sensible people the idea was to bring someone like dan
crenshaw and tulsi gabbard bring them
together and create this third party a unity party right they banned them from
twitter for that they banned
them from twitter there was no threats there was no violence there was no spamming
there was nothing
it was just a position that they thought could endanger the chances of the
democrats winning yes so they
justified pulling them and censoring them from the internet what would it be
like if people could have
these free conversations just talk about things and i think you know we we
could find a lot of common
ground if we could do that you do that and we salute you for that but have you
ever had a hardcore
communist leftist che Guevara fan on i've had bernie on yeah but does he i love
bernie does he hold
back still to the no he didn't hold back at all i i i think bernie is a good
person i think he has good
values and good ideas i just think he lives in a different world but how can
you find good in a
communist i don't think it's a communist agenda i think he calls himself a
democratic socialist and
the idea is doing better for the people the working people in the working
families and making sure
that people can't take advantage of these people by not paying them a fair wage
this has always been
this position i'm that's my position yeah but his original is to look at things
like speculative
trading and take a small percentage of that less than a fraction of a penny off
of these crazy stock
deals that they're doing where they're using algorithms take that and using it
for infrastructure
using it for education using it for healthcare i mean i don't know if it would
work great concept
i'm not the guy great i'm not an economist i'm not a politician i'm a fucking
moron i'm a cage
fighting commentator who's also a stand-up comedian you know i'm not that those
are quite the credentials
by the way strange almost as good as a guitar player yeah and i'm a bow hunting
fan all right
but let me comment on that so so that's his perspective that helped a little
guy to take
a little tiny little piece uh some crumbs as i said in the godfather 2 um to
wet my beak um
who do we put in charge of that would we put a bureaucracy that's in charge of
alcohol tobacco and fire
arms no no you're right you're right you're right this is untrustworthy well
the problem is anybody
dumb enough to want to do that job the problem is anybody that wants to be in
the position
to control where the money goes these people are almost always in some way or
another
entangled steal it right there's there's entanglements just like where i was
saying my friend
who was working and you know working for these pharmaceutical companies and he
would get deep in with these
company or deep in with these doctors and deep in with the nurses and know
their families it's like
this weird sort of legal corruption this this way that they can infiltrate
these people's lives to
influence them and that's the problem the problem is the size of government it's
just so big and it
has so much power yeah it has way more power than it ever had in the past and
they want more and during
covid those powers have grown here's the pulse i get from my campfires and
again people have to really
think for a minute what this perspective is we're working hard playing hard
american
kickers just people who bust their ass the the people in the arena of the swirling
dust of battle
of the ups and downs of life and they stumble and they dust themselves off and
get back up and try again
maybe they wanted to be a a musician but they couldn't make it so they became a
plumber um but
they're a great plumber and so they didn't get their dream dream but they still
bust their ass to
be in the asset column there's two columns there's the liability column the
asset right so my perspective
is from and again not just this year's but this year it was really quite quite
voluminous quite quite heated
good american families don't trust any of the bureaucracies we don't trust the
cdc
we know that the who is an arm of the communist party we don't trust the fda we
don't trust the usda
and i could give you examples in every instance how they're not trustworthy and
in michigan uh if you
use a feeder you'll uh cause the transmission of uh uh chronic wasting disease
so we must ban the use of
feeders but since the deer hunters didn't get enough deer because they weren't
able to use the
tractors uh the usda comes in with big giant feeders that says usda on it
who could possibly trust that glaring dishonesty and my favorite one is the
recent decision of the fda
where they tried to stop the freedom of information act releasing information
about covid for 55 years
about the vaccines yeah that's a trustworthy maneuver pull that up because it's
something to hold when you
look at it see i don't read or read books but i read this stuff this stuff is
this is so why i've sent
this to doctors and they and i literally sent it to a doctor friend of mine and
her and she's pro vaccine
and her her take was what in the yes yes that was her take so my hardly swears
i'm sharing a take from
hard-working this is reuters by the way folks we don't trust this is reuters
and i believe that
the head guy from reuters is on the board of pfizer which is or that's all you
need to know no no excuse
me on the board of the fda i believe or pfizer maybe but he was recently on the
board i think i'm
wrong they go from pfizer to the fda no no no no the guy from reuters i think
is on the board of pfizer
just check that because i want to make sure i'm right here because i saw this
but it's so but but my
point is it's so egregious that even reuters where the head guy is at the board
of pfizer
put this out and it says wait what question mark fda wants 55 years to process
freedom of information
act request over vaccine data that means they essentially want as much time as
it takes where
everyone who's involved is dead so no one can be held accountable something
like the warren report
maybe yes very similar to the warren report because they just initially
recently rather very recently
stopped releasing all the extended yeah extended it even further they would not
release the transcripts
so i i would like uh all my uh fda if that's the the guy from reuters because i
need to be
clear on this because i don't i don't i'm i'm pretty sure that's i'm right say
what say what it says
the ceo of reuters is on the board for pfizer thank you on the screen and then
meanwhile they'll still
they're still posting that that's how egregious it is it's so egregious that
even even reuters is like
what the are you doing and they their weight what is my what the god damn it
ted it's rampant it's
like they got the uh the uh the not the attorney joy i guess it is the u.s
attorney general um who's
got his fingers in the uh the books that goes to the education system his son
runs the bush his son-in-law
runs the books that are being sold to the the education systems across america
and he's banning
alternative uh education material because his son-in-law has a deal with the
teachers union well how
about this crazy one how about the hunter and biden laptop is that the most
crazy thing ever they they
literally banned new york post from the one of the oldest newspapers in the
country they banned the new
york post articles from being shared on twitter and i know you're inquisitive
and you're you're uh suspicious
but don't ask why there is no answer they're just all right horrible i'm not
asking why anymore i'm
going to take off a whole day for the rest of the day i'm not asking why go go
ted nuja we've been
