Ted Nugent Rocks Out on Glenn Beck Program: ‘We Came to This New Land in Defiance of Tyranny’

Encouraging Americans to use the “defiance and logic” born into us all, veteran rocker Ted Nugent appeared on the Glenn Beck Program Wednesday evening to discuss ideas of the Founding Fathers — freedom, liberty and eternal optimism.

To see Nugent  warming up for the GBTV program click here.

The never-shy Nugent had strong words on America’s decline and particularly, for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who he accused of implementing the policies of King George. “Nug” also likened New York to an “anti-American zone” due to its Sullivan Law regarding American’s Second Amendement rights. The controversial gun control law requires New Yorkers to carry a license to possess firearms small enough to be concealed. Failure to comply with the license is a misdemeanor and carrying the gun is deemed a felony.

“I see people being run through the mill or ending up in jail.” Nugent told Glenn, clarifying how people are “being demonized” simply for embracing their Second Amendment rights. The word “bear,” he explained, means you are “bearing” arms, not stowing them at the gun club miles away.

Despite his belief that Americans’ freedoms are increasingly threatened, Nugent told Glenn that he has ”eternal glowing optimism that Americans are waking up.”

Glenn agreed, and warned, “if we become indifferent we lose.”

“We came to this new land in defiance of tyranny… to have the right to speak your own mind,” Nugent said. “I celebrate that.”

Watch the clip below, as Nugent expresses his reverence for the Constitution. His performance of The Great White Buffalo follows:

Below, listen to Nugent rock out with Glenn:

 

For reference, below are the lyrics to Great White Buffalo:

Well, listen everybody, 
to what I got to say. 
There’s hope for tomorrow, 
Ooh,we‘re workin’ on today. 
Well,it happened long time ago, 
in the new magic land. 
The Indian and the buffalo, 
they existed hand in hand…. 
The Indian needed food, 
he needed skins for a roof. 
But he only took what they needed,baby. 
Millions of buffalo were the proof. 
Yeah,its all right. 
But then came the white man, 
with his thick and empty head. 
He couldn’t see past the billfold, 
he wanted all the buffalo dead. 
It was sad…It was sad. 
Oh yeah…yes indeed. 
Oh yes, 
it happened a long time ago,baby. 
In the new magic land. 
See,the Indian and the buffalo, 
they existed hand in hand. 
The Indians,they needed some food, 
and some skins for a roof. 
They only took what they needed,baby. 
millions of buffalo were the proof,yeah. 
But then came the white dogs, 
with their thick and empty heads. 
They couldn’t see past the billfold. 
they wanted all the buffalo dead. 
Everything was SO sad. 
When I looked above the canyon wall, 
some strong eyes did I see. 
I think its somebody comin’ around 
to save my ass,baby. 
I think…I think he‘s comin’ around 
to save you and me. 
Boys…… 
I said, above the canyon wall… 
strong eyes did glow. 
It was the leader of the land,baby. 
OH MY GOD, 
The GREAT WHITE BUFFALO….. 
LOOK OUT!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!! 
Well, he got the battered herd. 
He led em cross the land. 
With the Great White Buffalo, 
they gonna make a final stand. 
The Great White Buffalo, 
comin’ around to make a final stand. 
Well,look out here he comes. 
The great white buffalo,baby. 
The Great White Buffalo…. 
Look out,here he comes. 
He‘s doin’ all right. 
Makin’ everything all right. 
Yeah, yeah,yeah….

    I like the anti-tyranny spirit but “we” came to this land initially to find new resources. How quickly the patriotic propaganda blinds us to the truth. The first settlements were merchants, not people seeking religious or political freedom.

      You’re both right…the MC was written & signed here in the states while they were in the harbor. However, the purpose for the journey (as presented to the king who supplied the ships & supplies) was to find resources & riches for the king and his kingdom.

      We spit on illegal immigrants for running from their country to live in better conditions rather than fight to change the country they were born in…yet we lied through our teeth to our own “tyrant” to get the means to run/sail away…and only after arriving safely and putting an ocean between us did we flip him off and declare our real purpose.

      Just think what the world might look like today if we had fought for change where we lived rather than lie/cheat/steal, kidnap and enslave one race while commiting genocide on another.

      To those about to flame me for stating the truth…you can still be proud to be American because of the ideals we struggle for AND accept the truth of our beginnings.

      @The_Almighty_Creestof The Pilgrims had planned to land by the Hudson River and be under the domain of the London Virginia Company. However, the Pilgrims landed further north, in Massachusettes, out of the the bounds of the King’s territory, wherefore they were free to govern themselves. For this reason, the Mayflower Compact was written, to proclaim their own purpose for the journey. Most illegal immigrants are not running from their country for the same reasons the Pilgrims did. These modern immigrants are comming here to use and take advantage of the blessings and liberties WE ALREADY HAVE. They have not fought nor struggled to change anything in their own countries. The Pilgrims and their ancestors have a great history of fighting in Enlgand and Britain. England’s, Scotland’s, and Irelands’s (Britain’s) history is rich in reformation, revolution, and resistance in the three hundred yeas prior to the colonization of America.

A famous Patriarch once said to me ‘success is not ever failing, but getting up once you have fallen” he also said that “service to our fellow man is service to our God”
      Mr. Beck and Mr. Nugent give too many non-profits, help military Families and they serve there God with honor. Do I agree with everything they say, No! But I feel there heart is in the right place.

      I’ve seen the “Motor City Mad Man” in concert many-a-time. I never thought Glenn would have him on GBTV… I have new a faith in Glenn… I cancelled my GBTV subscription, but I may change that.

      I also may just ride my motorcycle to as many Ted Nugent shows as I can afford this summer. If you haven’t heard the Great White Buffalo played live… Then you can’t call yourself a real classic rock and roll fan, nor have you lived.

      I am also a huge fan of Teds military “Working Soldier” support… If I buy a concert ticket, Ted’s Ammo, or what ever Uncle Ted is into… I know where the “extra cash” is going.

They both probably do illegal drugs together and then go into the woods to kill innocent animals and not because they want or need the food, but because they just love killing innocent animals so that they can feel like a real man if at least for a few minutes or so…..
