Ted Nugent told Carl Higbie on Newsmax that Americans are done with merely complaining and it’s time to get to work holding every level of government accountable. He urged citizens to stop “squawking” and instead directly pressure elected officials, law enforcement, and agency bosses until they enforce the law and stop the waste. Nugent’s message was simple and unapologetic: if you want accountability, make it happen.
The rocker said he doesn’t leave this to rhetoric — he personally calls powerful officials and insists on action, even naming the Homeland Security secretary and the FBI director as people he has contacted to demand arrests where fraud and theft have been documented. He hammered that the evidence is out there and asked pointedly why so many taxpayers’ dollars still disappear without consequence. For those tired of corruption and mismanagement, Nugent’s blunt demand to “snap some handcuffs on these criminals” is the kind of no-nonsense leadership too many electeds lack.
Nugent reminded viewers that our republic depends on citizens who show up and act — register, vote, and keep the heat on your mayor, your sheriff, and your governor. He warned that officials who aren’t feeling pressure will keep running roughshod over budgets and liberties, and that real change comes from organized, sustained public pressure rather than passive outrage. This is a call to civic muscle, not surrender; the country survives only when patriots outwork the bureaucrats.
The term Fedzilla, which Nugent has used for years to describe the monstrous federal appetite for cash and control, was front and center in his remarks as he lambasted the bloated bureaucracy and runaway spending. He has long argued that Washington’s appetite for power and waste must be cut back, trimmed and, where necessary, dismantled so entrepreneurs and families can breathe again. That fight isn’t new for Nugent — he’s been urging radical cuts to nonsense regulation and a purge of the tax-and-spend mentality for a long time.
If conservatives want to win this fight, we must be relentless: primary the RINOs who fund Fedzilla, demand audits and prosecutions, and push for real budgetary shrinkage instead of performative speeches. Nugent’s advice is the kind of take-no-prisoners, bootstraps conservatism that built this country — hold them accountable at the ballot box and in the streets of every county courthouse. Hardworking Americans deserve a government that defends liberty, not a monstrous machine that squanders their sweat and steals their future.
