From the July 10 edition of Podcast One's The Laura Ingraham Show Podcast: 

TED NUGENT: The freedom hating media, they hate the NRA as much as they hate me, I couldn't be more proud that nasty, negative, hateful people hate me. They hate guns, they want to blame guns for crimes.

...

Bottom line is the NRA is strong, it's a mom and pop family civil rights organization that believes in self-defense.

...

We are online with our budget, all the allegations about misspending and inappropriate behavior are absolute lies.
