    Hunting is commonly seen as barbaric, psychotic and disgusting by an alarmingly large portion of the population. Especially among Generation Z. This episode dispels many of the incorrect and horribly mean generalizations cast upon hunters. Hunting allows us the opportunity to Harvest game meat that is not riddled with pesticides, while spending time with friends and family in the serenity of nature. We are also able to be physically active in ways outside of the "norm" of the gym. Carrying a rifle, your backpack with essentials for survival, and a thermos of coffee across long and difficult terrain is both beautiful and incredibly rewarding physically and mentally.

    WOW what a disaster. Trump was the clear winner. It was incredibly sad to see both men arguing over their golf game when families are arguing over what essentials to forgo this week. It was equally infuriating to see Joe Biden haphazardly mentioned the rape and murder of 12 year old Jocelyn Nungaray as he tried to somehow compare that with Abortion. Doubly, it was also infuriating to hear Biden claim he had no military deaths under his administration, clearly forgetting the 13 US Service members killed in action during the final hours of the Afghanistan withdrawal.

    I have frequently asked myself "What is an Episcopal?" every time I drive by one of their churches. In this episode I speak with Reverend James Reiss of St. Paul's Episcopal Church of Patchogue to give me a better insight as to what the Episcopal Faith is. The key difference between the Episcopals and the Roman Catholics, is their progressive nature. The Episcopal Church is accepting of the LGBTQIA+ community, allows women to be ordained, and allows their Priests to marry. You do not want to miss this incredible look into a faith not many get to encounter.

    Author of "Richard Nixon California's Native Son" Paul Carter joins me to discuss the Presidency and Life of Richard Nixon, as well as what motivated him to document President Nixon's life. Find "Richard Nixon California's Native Son" here: https://www.amazon.com/Richard-Nixon-Californias-Native-Son/dp/1640125604 Read about Paul Carter's Book below! "Modern biographies of Richard Nixon have been consumed with Watergate. All have missed arguably the most important perspective on Nixon as California's native son, the only U.S. president born and raised in California. In addition, Nixon was also a son, brother, friend, husband, father, uncle, and grandfather. By shifting the focus from Watergate and Washington to Nixon's deep, defining roots in California, Paul Carter boldly challenges common conceptions of the thirty-seventh president of the United States. More biographies have been written on Nixon than any other U.S. politician. Yet the territory traversed by Carter is unexplored, revealing for the first time the people, places, and experiences that shaped Richard Nixon and the qualities that garnered him respect from those who knew him well. Born in Yorba Linda and raised in Whittier, California, Nixon succeeded early in life, excelling in academics while enjoying athletics through high school. At Whittier College he graduated at the top of his class and was voted Best Man on Campus. During his career at Whittier's oldest law firm, he was respected professionally and became a chief trial attorney. As a military man in the South Pacific during World War II, he was admired by his fellow servicemen. Returning to his Quaker roots after the war, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate, and the vice presidency, all within six short years. After losing to John Kennedy in the 1960 presidential campaign, Nixon returned to Southern California to practice law. After losing his gubernatorial race he reinvented himself: he moved to New York and was elected president of the United States in 1968. He returned to Southern California after Watergate and his resignation to heal before once again taking a place on the world stage. Richard Nixon: California's Native Son is the story of Nixon's Southern California journey from his birth in Yorba Linda to his final resting place just a few yards from the home in which he was born."

    Hamas brutally killed, assaulted, and kidnapped the Israeli civilian population on October 7th 2023. This is a stark contrast to their main focus on attacking the Israeli Defense Forces. I reflect on my former support of Palestine, and how the events of October 7th, and the coinciding Day of Jihad declared on October 13th, encouraged this anti-Palestine stance. In particular, the motivations for this discussion are prompted by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran making threatening calls against the citizenry of the United States of America. While I am not a fan of foreign intervention, funding, training or support of wars and countries not our own, it is not too hard to be morally repulsed by the depraved barbarity of Hamas towards a civilian population. Further, it is of grave importance that the American people be fully alert, aware, and informed of International developments concerning the parties involved. It is even more important to be aware of your immediate surroundings. If you see something, say something.

    Tucker Carlson interviewed Larry Sinclair, one of Obama's alleged homosexual lovers, about his cocaine fueled affair with the former President. I theorize that, if this is true, the Democratic Party is aiming to suppress this as it would make them look homophobic by hiding his sexuality. It would also ruin Obama's and to an extent the Democratic Party's reputation in the generally socially conservative African American community. According to The Independent, a Love letter to Obama's now ex-girlfriend in 1982 resurfaced. In the letter Obama says “In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men,” he added. “But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency.” Want to see more BPA content & show your support?: https://linktr.ee/BackpackingAmerica SHOP: https://bpapodcast.threadless.com/ KART: Kreative Art Online Radio: https://kart.airtime.pro/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/backpackingamerica/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bpapodcasting Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/backpacking-america/id1485571395 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2IpWT8Xh8BkTIlNw7oBap7?si=fTtnuf5gSomjedJoBhgydw Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZC5jby9iYWNrcGFja2luZy1hbWVyaWNh?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjf9erVsZXuAhW0D1kFHTnXAr0Q9sEGegQIARAE

    I visit the Greenport Skatepark for their "Under the Lights" Summer Concert Series! The concerts are put on to draw people to the park in an attempt to highlight the community building space that it is. Donations were being collected to repair the poorly maintained and aging park. During this event, I interviewed Rena Wilhelm who organized this movement to save the park. I am also joined by Greenport Mayor Kevin, the coolest Mayor ever, who also used to skateboard at the same park. I was later joined by long time skaters of the park Angel and Bo. Then later by the youth that currently use the park today.

    I go through the Department of Homeland Security's 2009 Assessment on Right-Wing Extremism to show two things. The first being that not much has changed politically in the issues that affect Americans, and the security state being used to make the average person an enemy of the state. The second being a wide swath of the American public, diverse in thought and identity, being wrapped up in the Right Wing Extremist label. The label is applied broadly, making it easier to be labeled.
