Yellowhammer caught up with the Motor City Madman himself via email today to get his thoughts on the expo, as well as other hot topics, like Remington Arms coming to Alabama, conservatives in the entertainment industry, what it’s going to take to get another Republican in the White House, and more.
YELLOWHAMMER:
You’re one of the few outspoken conservatives in the entertainment industry. Do you think conservatives need to make more of an effort to influence the culture through music and other entertainment industries?
TED NUGENT:
Of course I do. The America hating liberal left has been using their bully pulpit forever at every opportunity while the majority of the so called Hollywood conservatives remain mute, moot and trembling in fear of their own shadows.
YELLOWHAMMER:
Alabama beat out states all over the country to woo Remington Arms, America’s oldest gun manufacturer, to open a massive new facility in the state. What do you think about Remington choosing Alabama over New York where it’s been headquartered for almost 200 years?
TED NUGENT:
God bless Alabama and God bless Remington! New York for all practical purposes isn’t even America anymore. With the clear and present criminal violation of the US Constitution with their confiscatory so called “Safe Act” law scam, NY is the poster child for big government out of control.

YELLOWHAMMER:
So you’re coming to Birmingham as one of the celebrity guests for Rick & Bubba’s Outdoor Expo on Father’s Day weekend. What is it about this particular event that compelled you to get involved?
TED NUGENT:
I’m a sucker for anyone named Bubba. Things have got to be big fun when there is a Bubba involved! I’ve been aware of Rick & Bubba for many years, and this is sure to be a grand family event celebrating the great outdoors. I am honored to be invited. It will be wall to wall Spirit of the Wild backstrap BloodBrothers and I virtually guarantee the greatest of times.
YELLOWHAMMER:
What’s it going to take to get a Republican back in the White House in 2016?
TED NUGENT:
The GOP has lost its soul and a critical anatomical appendage necessary to properly represent the productive working hard playing hard families of this great country. They need to drop the Mr. Roger’s pleasantry BS and take a hard core stand against the liberal democrat goons who hate freedom, hate guns, hate hunting, hate individualism, hate entrepreneurs, hate independence, hate rugged individualism and expose the vile Saul Alinsky scam of their hateful agenda. We need a bigger, badder, bolder, tougher Ronald Reagan and we need him now!
YELLOWHAMMER:
People pay attention to what you say because you’ve been a passionate defender of Americans’ rights, especially the 2nd Amendment, but you also get a lot of attention for occasionally making some pretty inflammatory remarks. Cutting through all the rhetoric, what’s the overall message you’re hoping to communicate to the American people?
TED NUGENT:
Only wimps have a problem with my inflammatory remarks. Educated people know that it takes bold, even brazen language to honestly identify the criminal violations of such a lying, racist, America hating president and his criminal gunrunning AG Eric Holder. Trying to be civil with such a vicious non-civil enemy is why we are in the mess we are in today. My message is so simple, it’s stupid: We the people are supposed to be in charge of this country, and the US Constitution and Bill of Rights are the self-evident truths by which all decisions and policies must be made and enforced. I will go down in history as the good guy with balls. The Obama gang will go down in history as an evil force hellbent on destroying America, and if we let them get away with it, we will go down in history as the dumbest, most soulless society in the history of mankind. I fight nonstop daily to keep them from doing it. Everyone should.
