Welcome to American Issues Take One. I'm Tim Apachele, your host. Today's topic is GOP ranks full of Christian Nationalists. Back in 2016, Hillary Clinton spoke up at a fundraising event and she spoke up and she spoke out that the followers of Donald Trump, specifically the MAGA followers, were a basket of deplorables. And what she meant by basket deplorables was she identified racists, the sexists, homophobic, the xenophobic, and the salamaphobic. The Roarer, a protest that followed her words was deafening. Hillary Clinton retreated, she apologized. Since that time, since 2016, we've seen all sorts of groups come out of the GOP. We've seen the MAGA wing support neo-Nazis, the white supremacists to include proud boys, the oathkeepers, and of recent, we've been watching a lot of what I would call Putin cheerleaders, those that wanna see Russia succeed and not NATO or Ukraine. Remember, Donald Trump in one of the debates said about the proud boys, stand back and stand ready. That was just before January 6th took place. So fast forward to this weekend at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee forum, where a gentleman by the name of Jack Prosbyek sat on a discussion panel with Steve Bannon of all people.  And what did Jack Prosbyek say? He said the following, we're here to overthrow democracy. We didn't get it all the way there on January 6th, but we'll endeavor to get rid of it. Hillary Clinton apologized. She shouldn't have, basket of deplorables. And with that, my co-host, Jay Fidels with me today to discuss the emerging strength and influence of Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party. Good morning, Jay. Good morning, Jim. You know, Jay, let's talk about some of the positions that the Christian Nationalists are hoping to accomplish, not just 2024, but for the future of this country. And we can kind of go down the list and I'll throw some of these at you to get your response. They would like to stop divorce and make it back in the old days where no fault is gone and now you have to find cause for a divorce. They want to stop contraceptives. They want to stop same-sex marriage. And presumably, they're all probably okay with discrimination of housing and job employment. They probably don't have a problem with that. They want to stop any kind of sex transitioning activities that are occurring in this country. They would definitely want to ban abortions. And in my opinion, these people want to go back to the days of John Withrup and his clan of Puritans that really messed up for America. The Puritan lifestyle really made things tough on the Native Americans. Your thoughts about other things that these Christian Nationalists are up to? They want to break down the wall between church and state. I've seen commentary by Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, are you ready for this? Are you sitting down? And I'm tired of the establishment clause. I'm tired of this wall we have between church and state. I think church ought to be in charge and state ought to respond to church. What do you mean tired? You're tired of the Constitution. You're tired of the First Amendment. You're tired of the establishment clause. That doesn't change it. What they are doing is they're ignoring it. And thus, as you said, they're ignoring democracy. They want to trash democracy. They want to trash the Constitution. And this comes from a comment from Trump. I have to reconsider the Constitution. Some of the Constitution I'm not going to follow. So what we have here is an anti-democracy movement and it's largely about the First Amendment. You know, I'm gonna throw out a quote from Trump because to your point, Donald Trump is supporting these Christian nationalists. He doesn't care about them. He doesn't believe in what they believe in. But they're a sizable block of his voting base. And he said this. This was in his Nashville rally that he had. He said, remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out churches just like every fascist regime has tried to co-op them and control them.  So he's talking about the current administration, the Biden administration, as now being anti-Christian, anti-church, and really trying to stir up all the Christian nationalists to say, see, this is the dark government we have to live with and this is Joe Biden and his administration is trying to stamp out your right to peacefully assemble and worship. It's misinformation, disinformation, manipulation. You know, the notion of evangelicals has existed in the American public conversation or maybe private conversation at some points, all the way through from before the revolution. And it comes from the fact that a lot of religious people were involved in policy and the formation of the government but they decided at the time of the Constitution to separate those things with good cause because they saw what had happened in Europe and they were concerned about those who would make this a theocracy. So it was sidetracked, but that didn't end it. And the notion of evangelical order and theocracy has existed even from then until now. And I, you know, without going into the details of it, you know, it played a role in the post civil war experience with the blacks. It played a role in many elements of American history but it never got to be a serious maneuver to achieve a theocracy until now. And really, you know, I wonder if we could examine a why until now, it hasn't been, but it is now. In the 30s, there were people who wanted to side with Hitler. They wanted to have fascism in the country and there were factors that stopped them. One of the factors was FDR. One of the factors where there were immigrants who really cared and were very patriotic. And the biggest factor of all was World War II where we saw with our own eyes that fascism was a murderous view of the world. And so we didn't have fascism. And those factors are worth looking at now because there's a movement to make this a theocracy, to have those who pretend to be religious delits govern the government. And they'll say it in so many words. Audrey Taylor Greene and Lauren Barber, they say it in so many words. They wanna throw out the division between church and state. That's really horrendous because, you know, everybody has a different view of God and church and state. And if you open the door on that, what happens is the ones with the view that serves their interests will, you know, dispossess the ones who don't have that religious view. So it's a question of interpretation. And there are virtually hundreds of religions in this country. So which one governs white, Christian nationalism? Is that what governs? What is that? And who runs it and who believes in it? And I told you before the show, I think this is reduced to simplest and most basic terms by saying the system is broken and we can, you know, discuss how and why. And it creates a vacuum of power. That's what's happened. Sort of like the depression in the 30s that led to the vacuum of power that allowed the Nazis in the door. And now we have a vacuum of power that allows the theocrats in the door. And theocracy is not about God. It's not even about religion. It's about power.  He understands there's the vacuum. He wants to fill the vacuum. He knows that people need to fill the vacuum with power. So a good device is to call it theocracy and thus use theocracy as a way to get into power. And that's the game he's playing. He is actually allowing this. He is inviting this. It could exist without him, but with him it moves much quicker. Well, let's look at the influence of Christian nationalism that it's already had in the influence of our government. Look at the composition of the Supreme Court. Many of those justices are very conservative Catholics. And I hate to say, but it appears that they make decisions based on their Catholicism or their belief thereof. Let's look at the most recent one, and that's our speaker of the house, Mike Johnson. Makes no apology for his desire to blur the line between church and state. The appointment of Mike Johnson, how do you think that's going to rear its ugly head as far as the Christian nationalist aspect towards future legislation or the lack thereof? Things that won't get on the floor. History will not be kind to him. You're right, he is the personification of God over government, God over the people. And by the way, it's his God.  It's his God, it's power. And Trump runs him. That's the other part, it seems clear that Trump runs him, Trump takes away his power, and fills Johnson's power with his Trump's instructions. So Trump is using this whole system, this whole movement, this whole theocracy thing for his own ends. He's controlling Johnson. History will not look kindly at Johnson. Johnson is in there against Ukraine because Trump wants him to be in there against Ukraine. And he can come up with religious reasons for that, but that's bunk. It's just because Trump controls him and in fact Putin controls Trump. So that's why he doesn't want to give any money to Ukraine. And it's that simple. It's almost like a border is an irrelevant manipulation. It's Ukraine that they're after. So I think that Johnson is a terrible choice for the country. And ultimately, as you suggest, for the GOP, they'll never recover from what they're doing now. They'll never have credibility again. I only hope that Trump loses the election so we can look at this rationally. Well, I don't think it ends with Donald Trump losing the election. I think there's enough of mega, if you will, the mega concept or theology that's embedded in the GOP and whether Donald Trump is elected or not now, I think is almost moot. I think the movement continues on after Donald Trump is hopefully not elected. Let's go back in history and I hate to point fingers, but I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna point some fingers. Ronald Reagan, much beloved by the Republican Party, by many Americans, much loved, but he alone basically allowed Jerry Faldwell and the moral majority into the Republican Party. Not like ever before had any religious group, particularly evangelical, I had the nose under the tent of a Republican Party or the Democrat Party. So that's what- Faldwell was remarkable in the sense that he's the first leader of the evangelicals to care about and insinuate himself into politics. Up to that point, they had been interested in religion, religious education with their own view of the world, but not politics. And you'll forget donations over the TV. Lots of donations over TV. For them, for the guys in the mega church, not for politics. Ronald Reagan, you are absolutely right. Ronald Reagan invited Faldwell into the political arena and it changed evangelicalism right there. And since that time, evangelicals have been involved in politics and power and less so in religion. Yeah, well, let's see how it's, basically he's leaving this thumbprint on some pre-court decisions. We're reminded that Washington State, we had a football coach who insisted to conduct prayer on the field before game time.  Now that decision to allow the coach to continue to do that was upheld by the Supreme Court. Now, if I'm a Muslim, if I'm Jewish, if I'm Hindi or I'm Buddhist, I'm not liking the fact that I'm forced to bow my head and conduct myself in a Christian prayer, but there it is, one of the Supreme Court decisions that said no problem. Let's look at public funding, our taxpayer dollars for funding for religious private schools. Again, a Supreme Court decision. How far does this go? What are areas, what other areas may we see either the Supreme Court or state legislatures to give a green light to the blurring of line of a church versus state? Well, you know, it was clear what direction we were moving at the inauguration of Bush, W. Bush. He said, let's do faith-based government. My administration will be faith-based. I said, what? What about the separation of church and state? What are you saying? But it made it visible. And clearly it's increased since then. But you can see that something very troubling happened at that point. Up to that point, the Department of Justice had been involved in trying to make sure that government was not faith-based. All of a sudden in his administration, the Department of Justice changed to protect churches, to protect them so they could do what they wanted. It was a whole shift, a major shift, in the paradigm and the policy of this country. And it happened with George W. Bush. So if I'd like to just raise one point that I find very troubling. First of all, we know that a good percentage of the GOP magas are evangelicals. I don't remember the exact number, but it's well over 30% of them are committed to evangelical government, the theocracy. That's a poll taken recently by a Pew organization found that. And by the way, some Democrats believe that too. But not nearly as many as the magas. Okay, now we have this very strange kind of inconsistency that I cannot reconcile. And that is that there's something called a Christian Zionist within the evangelical group. They believe that because the Jewish people and Israel is mentioned in the Bible, in the first Testament, that they have a special connection with the Jewish people and Israel. Ergo, when you see Trump moving the embassy of the United States from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, when you see him supporting Israel, and especially Netanyahu, who is a kindred spirit, and a kind of an autocratic personality with Trump, he's, he, Trump is doing it for a reason. He's doing it to stroke these evangelical Christian scientists. And it's good as far as Israel is concerned that they have this group in the United States that supports them. And of course, we have the woke liberals who don't support them. And the whole thing is very confused. And I hate to be on the side, or sympathetic to the side of the evangelicals, but there you have it. They are completely faithful not to use that term. No, use that term. Use that term because it's important. Yeah, well, it's some kind of a theocratic connection they have and Trump is stroking that. Trump is taking advantage of playing to that. So it's, I don't think it's really sincere, but a number of the, for example, the YouTube videos that come up of the news reports, even Fox News seems to favor Israel in this war with Hamas. You know, I don't welcome them to do that, but they are doing that. And I think if we look at the evangelical movement, we have to wrap around that phenomenon. Because one time they wanna, on the one hand, they wanna destroy democracy and the line between church and state. On the other hand, and Trump is, you know, stoking them on this, they wanna support Israel for biblical reasons. Well, if you're an evangelical, you probably believe in the book of revelations. And in the book of revelations, guess who gets slaughtered first? The Jews in the Middle East when the second coming is about ready to happen. So yeah, they're more than happy to support Jews because they know, according to a book of revelations, if the Jews don't convert, then they receive the forces of evil and they're all wiped out. It's not easy to support that when you are in the third or fourth rank of things to come. So, you know, I wouldn't want that support if I was Jewish. I don't need that kind of support. Thank you so much. But also look. Thanks, but no thanks. Thanks, but no thanks. You're right.  There it is. It's a very strange, twisted kind of mindset over it. Yeah, well, you said a perfect thanks, but no thanks. I don't need that kind of support. But let's look at something else that I've been saying and you and I, we've gone around the mulberry bush on this, is that we accuse the mega of being in an information bubble of facts from Fox News or Newsmax, whatever they get their news source from. But there's something greater to that.  Remember the evangelicals, they don't need proof to support their faith. They just need faith. So they need belief. They don't need facts. They don't need proof. They don't need evidence. They need faith. And when you have a political group that's based on the faithful, then who is their Messiah? Donald Trump, he doesn't give them facts. They don't need his facts. They just need to believe and they do. And that is why Donald Trump has unloyal, I mean, excuse me, loyal followings to the nth degree because they are the faithful. There we are. That's a problem, part of it. So that's what happens. You fill the ranks with true believers that no longer need facts, science or any of the above. And he asks them for money. Oh, they let them get money. They're used to giving money. They're not the high end givers but there are a lot of them and they are faithful to give him money. You know, one thing I can understand, and maybe you can help me reconcile these differential points. On the one hand, the stats are clear. Americans are not going to church. They haven't been going to church for a long time. The second is that you have these fall well kinds of mega churches, much bigger than what he was doing then with Ronald Reagan. And schools, colleges even teach, evangelical Christianity. And of course, part of that is political. Now, a big part of it, okay? And so you don't have people, Christians, who go to church in the various denominations. But what you do have is A, these huge ball field, you know, demi churches, semi quasi churches out there with these ministers who are really good on a microphone and thousands of people show up, thousands of them. It's a circus tent kind of, well, it's a circus is what it is. And not only that, and I have followed this as a technical matter, a lot of broadcast equipment is designed for them. In other words, when that pastor, quote, gets up and addresses these thousands of people, he's not just talking to them. He's recording himself. There are 27 cameras on him. He is broadcasting on the internet. He is reaching many, many, many more thousands of people. These guys are using modern technology. It's kind of a super social media thing to reach enormous numbers of people in the country and extend their influence. It's, but it's not religion. If it's not religion, what else could it be? They talk about Jesus a lot and they talk about Christianity and they talk about faith and they talk about turning the government over too. It's not religion. What is it? Oh, I can answer that. If you ever watched, and I'm not gonna do an imitation of it, but if you ever watched Ernest Angelie or Benny Hinn do faith healing on the stage, your first description was pretty good, a circus. And that circus brings in a lot of money from the faithful, a lot of money, just like Donald Trump's bringing in a lot of money when he asked for it because they're used to giving it. And when the call goes out, the term tithing comes up, but more than tithing. Donald Trump has played his faithful base as a bunch of suckers and they've responded in kind. And that's a sad statement. As far as I'm concerned, the Attorney General's in every 50 states should be looking at how Donald Trump is gaining his money and how he's spending it, particularly from the RNC, 50 plus million dollars for his legal fees. I'm not sure his faithful knew that they were gonna be paying for his attorneys, but there it is. So what is it? It's a circus, Jay, and you hit it perfectly.  He should be the one that leads it. He should be the one that brings this huge circus tent of people into what is no more, no less than a cult. It's a cult for Donald Trump. They are the followers of the cult and they believe in him and therefore they come into the tent. But you know what is very interesting, and I was listening to this on a podcast recently from the New York Times, is he has the expectation that somehow he is gonna get them to fund his underfunded campaign. He's behind Biden right now. He's gonna get his base to cough it up so to fund his campaign, which he needs. At the same time, he is asking his base to fund, this is a big question, to fund the half a trillion dollars, did I get that right? Half a trillion dollars that was awarded against him in the New York fraud case. Okay, he wants them to pay for that. So add it up, you need about half a trillion to run a presidential campaign these days or more, sorry. What they said was you needed a trillion dollars to run a presidential campaign, which he doesn't have, and he needs another half a trillion to pay off this, to get the security together, right? So they don't collect on his companies. They're not gonna be able to do that. The church members just don't have that kind of cash either. And so he's gonna run up against the wall on this trying to get the money to do both. Well, as of this morning, his attorney said we could cough up 100 million. I don't think that's gonna work. So they're asking the judge to reconsider the amount. 100 million's not gonna cut it. But I'm perplexed, Jay. Why would Donald Trump have to ask his minions of faithful followers for all this money when he's selling his tennis shoes for $399? Seems to me those golden Trump tennis shoes would win the day. Give him all the capital he needs for his campaign and his attorneys. But I'm perplexed, that's just me. Well, it could be that people are not so interested in the golden shoes. It could be that he's losing the confidence of his people. No, he should sell his golden toilet then to raise money. So I don't know. You know, I mean, the question was posed in his podcast and Maggie Haberman of the New York Times was talking about it. You know, maybe he doesn't have the same kind of draw, magnetism, charisma that he used to have. These cases against him are having a negative effect on his brand. And this particular case with a half a trillion dollars, that's gonna have a negative effect on his brand. So it could be that those members of the cult who might have been more enthusiastic a year ago are no longer so enthusiastic. And God bless them for not being enthusiastic. But who knows? We don't know that yet. He's a master at playing them. And I'm afraid he's much better at it than Joe Biden is.  He knows what we're saying. And he's gonna have solutions to the problem. You know, you had mentioned that church attendance down in the United States and it certainly is and certainly way, way down in Europe. As the Christian nationalists get a greater foothold in the Republican party and certainly in influence in government, does this turn off Gen Z, the millennials? If you're a member of a minority religion in this country, to what degree are you now? Your alarm bells are going off, going, I'm not sure I like the way this sounds and smells.  That is such a good point. And that's the point that Ian Bremmer was making in this other podcast I was listening to this morning. You know, it's another generation coming. It's not the same generation that have supported him in his base as a younger and they're more disenchanted arguably. They recognize the system isn't working. They don't give him credit for doing anything to fix it in his first four years. They, a lot of them do not believe that he can fix it in another four years. And they're disenchanted with the social institution and he caused this, right? He spread this poison. They're disenchanted with the government and disenchanted with the social institutions. At the same time, this level of disenchantment may not be the same kind of benefit for him as before. And they may not be involved in the evangelical movement as their prior generations. So, you know, one thing we can be clear about is change. Things are changing. Things are changing in the remaining eight months. I always think of exactly how many months we have left. Things are changing even in the remaining eight months and it could be that the new voters either won't vote or will vote in a way that Trump won't like. And so we gotta see about it. The evangelicals right now today would take Trump over the threshold. He would win against Biden if the election were held today. Trump has gotten so many negative points on Joe Biden. But in the next eight months, the electorate may be different. The next generation of voters may be different. The world may be different. So we cannot say what will happen in November. Good point. The only thing I word about is the old Christian song Onward Christian Soldiers. And that has a double meaning, particularly if Donald Trump accuses the elections of fraud as he did in 2020. And then we have that to contend with. Steve Bannon's, all the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, you name it, we haven't seen the end of this yet. So we'll see. No, and let me say that we talk about the world and another Trump administration. And we always, well, Ukraine will be over. I don't know what he'll do with regard to Israel. I guess his evangelical base will want him to support Israel and he'll do that. But I think what is really, really scary is the First Amendment, the very point of this show. It's the possibility of a theocracy. And when I talk about Marjorie Green, and I always do it with disdain and contempt, I talk about Lauren Boebert the same. Those two are on the shortlist for a vice president. They could be vice president, either of them. And if they are vice president with a president who is not living a healthy lifestyle and is already what he'll be in his 70s at the time, his 80s at the time, just nearly as old as Joe Biden, they could be a heartbeat away from being president. Both of them are articulated the notion that they're really tired of the separation between church and state. And they would take it to a theocracy for political and power reasons, not religious reasons, but there you have it. So we could be a lot closer to a theocracy than we think than we have ever been. Couldn't agree with you more. And it gets scarier every time I see these reports or certainly have to watch CPAC. Incredible things are said lately, openly, and there they continue. So I'd like to thank you, Jay. I'd like to thank you for your time today. Do you have any last thoughts before we conclude? Yeah, people always ask at the end of these shows. So where's the bright side? What are the solutions to these problems that are burying us in malaise and concern? And these days, when I listen to those shows and give those discussions, including now, today, I don't have a solution.  Okay, I know what I'm gonna do. You know what you're gonna do. But a lot of people in this country are raw meat and they can be turned one way or the other. And I fear that a lot of them are gonna stick with this notion of Trump. They're gonna forget all that they have already forgotten all the incredible and serious things he did with respect to January 6th and so many other things.  And so I don't have a solution for you, Tim. I wish I did. Maybe something will occur to me next week. I have a quotation from the New Testament that summarizes the last five years and certainly this campaign trail so far. Shortest sentence in the Bible. Jesus wept. And with that, I'd like to thank Jay Fidel, my co-host. I'm Tim Hapuchella. This is American Issues Take One. And won't you join us next week? And until then, a little hot.


Well, come on back to the channel everybody the program.  I kind of like that word That's kind of old school the program Thank you for tuning in. It's gonna be a hunting program on this one y'all and we are doing bow Hunting for whitetail deer back here in Texas opening day of archery season just looking for some meat just came off of a Really hardcore elk hunt backpacking in the Colorado Rockies I didn't show the entire length that it went on and on and on searching but we tracked that elk for about a thousand yards and It never bedded down once So I think that it lived and a big learning lesson that I got from that after watching the footage and talking to the guys You know I shot that that deer I've been whitetail mode now. I think I shot that elk in the shoulder Really far forward on honestly about a foot off my mark and I got back home and I'm shooting my bow And I was like trying to mess up and I couldn't even miss that far off at that distance. It's about 35 40 yards However, what I was doing I was leading That elk and I never really settled into my shot For a couple seconds like I should have a cow called meh meh And then you know kind of just took it right there and when I was still on a little bit of a lead and just my muscle Still going that way just trying to track the elk. So a huge learning lesson always settle into your shot Didn't help the elk also turned into the shot probably added an extra four inches into that the arrow trajectory, but I Do think that the elk is still alive out there and probably making some babies back here in Texas whitetail Country in the hill country. This is the first lease that I've ever gotten on and yes, we are on corn feeders out here and and honestly this place is really set up for rifle so we're kind of Doing our little bow thing out here right now and setting up bow blinds Tree stands and things like that and getting set up for this month of doing some some bow hunting I'm excited because there's not just whitetail out here. There's also pigs There's some other critters running around out here. I think we're gonna have some fun There's even some ponds out here or saw some bass so I'm gonna take a few practice shots make sure we're on Eat a good dinner and we're gonna get up early in the morning and you know opening day Excitement level is high Hey guys, what's going on we're gonna shoot deer in the morning We're looking through the spot in scope and that is a doe. She just walked out of frame I was literally about to shoot my 308 Sitting right there and Mike goes.  They're bow hunting anyway Yeah, well not to mention this place is MLD So you are legally allowed to shoot a rifle if it was even if it was tomorrow if it was Legalite in the yeah, but that's a good sign seeing deer already I've never hunted this place. So We don't know what we're gonna see tomorrow. So this is pretty cool. Y'all we are actually sitting Well, we're above the ridge that sits over one of the rivers that I fished in Texas quite a bit and Excited to maybe bring the kayaks down here in the spring do a little bit of that Opening day tomorrow. I think I think we're gonna do a little look in first I don't think if we're gonna shoot the first thing that walks out. Although I am eager I mean, I just came off a hunt where I went seven days without seeing anything and it was like just There he is. It's nice to just watch animals. You get to learn a lot when you're You know just watching them and taking notes watching their behavior. See how they behave with other animals See how they behave with wind and Temperatures and conditions we got a full moon right now. Look at this man. Just being out here It's pretty nice Cowboy stove rolling in here, and I think old eat good over here.   Eat good over here Just enjoy the sunset God bless Texas man. Whoo. Nothing worse than a burnt all dad man. Where what is Where is the game? I used to have to Discard the the all dad Remnants at a ranch I worked at and nothing would even eat an all dad's guts.   Don't get mad Let's settle this once and for all before we get up and go this This dear blind in the morning Critter glitter cheese I Just want to get a straight-up piece of it with no cheese See what we're dealing with here. No bun. No cover-ups You gonna go to your all dad now I'm sure they didn't talk there a little bit over cow, but super edible and tasty Okay, take back what I said That's awesome. Okay, we're gonna fill our bellies and we're gonna get ready for the morning I'll we'll see when it's dark. We got headlamps on and we're getting into the bow line itself Hopefully get some action, but it's looking promising so far Never good sign when a dope truck Comes in front of your stand never under this place. So I guess there's a rock moving rocks On opening day Saturday. It's consistent now the full moon, you know, they're moving really early So I'm gonna sit for another 30 minutes.  Hopefully he's got something down Just doing a little mid-morning plink in here With the 308 brace belt.  There's a lot of tags There's a lot of dough tags and we just haven't seen that many doughs, you know, I saw that one this morning things got a little squirrely We had that seven point That if that thing comes in again, it's getting popped I think everybody decided but we just just getting here not looking at all the the camera pictures And not really knowing, you know, I didn't want to just pull the trigger early and take something that I wasn't Totally a hundred percent confident and happy with it. You just don't want to do that You're not gonna feel great about it now knowing that there's some other deer out here There's a good population and that one is missing. It's not it's not missing a brow time. It's I think it's missing. It's G3 it's kind of a weird gap on the deer, but still a mature deer I want to make sure you're taking a mature animal What's also interesting about the MLD situation is you can use a rifle right now During archery season on a managed land tag So if worse comes to worst, I want to make sure we get the 308 Good to go. I don't I doubt we're gonna be shooting this far, but just kind of blinking around I haven't shot it past a hundred yards So getting the opportunity here to do that almost happened this morning It happens so fast everything was so fast and then we just had a few things It didn't go our way with the wind and the pigs and all that but plan is right now I'm gonna sit that same spot this afternoon and hopefully that seven comes back if not, I may even sit there again in the morning and You know first basically if that seven or any doe walks out That's what we'll do if the wind stays good first evening hunt of opening day weekend I think what we need to do a little some different this time We need it face paint up going back to the same blind same situation Go and skill green for fun. We think let's go frog Ladies and gentlemen We have deer meat that we're gonna be devouring tonight some tasty tendies Harvested by Mullet man himself. He got into a wad of does which is awesome There's one of the things we wanted to see coming in here. It's what we expected to see And I've been seeing nothing but bucks. It's been really crazy, but we finally got some meat We've actually ran out of dinner type stuff. We had some burgers and stuff for the night But we've already planned on getting something by now. So we're hunting a little later what I have decided now I've been very patient, you know, it's opening weekend And there's been a couple of deer that I could have shot the one that came in tonight that had a more reddish color It was an eight point. It was probably three maybe four years old.  It was gonna be perfect and then He kind of circled the pin where I couldn't get a shot and as soon as he started coming back around I was gonna draw back and the wind shifted for just a second and Caught wind and popped out of there. What was interesting to watch is he pushed the other deer out like you saw the other two deer Run away and it showed that he was more dominant Buck and I saw him this morning. He was sitting there forever. I could have shot him a hundred times but I was just kind of evaluating the deer and The last thing I want to do is shoot a deer that I'm not comfortable with and First time being on the sleigh. So I didn't want to shoot anything, you know that I wasn't comfortable with And everybody else wasn't comfortable with I think what I'm gonna have to do I didn't want to do this, but because of this wind shift. It just started this evening I might have to get into a rifle blind on that same stand. It's hot. It's a hot area I'm gonna show you all for an example. This is an app I have and it allows you to look at the wind This is hunt stand if anyone's curious about it. I'll just back up here You see that change right there Kind of good and then it gets bad about right there about 9 a.m. And Then we're just gonna be blowing out everything. I think we're gonna have to get the rifle out y'all I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to do it, but tomorrow's my last morning to hunt I've got a head out. You got to catch flight to Florida and do some more fishing Know everything I know now Dear city there 50 yards and I probably would have shot it had That 7.0 push the other ones away just because it was bugging me so much. It was one of those borderline, but anyway That's how it went tonight. Thank you guys for tuning in go ahead and smash it for some opening day action This is probably more whitetail Dear action that I've had then I've had on camera The then like any of my videos was awesome. I've had two fantastic sits Cannot complain at all. So I'm not in a bad mood at all. There's really just two fantastic sets, but Me it's what's for dinner and it's what I need to get on the ground tomorrow. So see you guys


Good morning friends welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here I am outside of the grocery store. It is my Saturday morning 7 a.m. grocery shopping trip It's still pretty dark out and it's actually a little later this morning because I had my work real estate Christmas party last night So I decided to sleep in a little bit longer this morning before I headed to the grocery store But I have quite the list of things to get I have to start getting ready for the holidays My baking and of course all of my food for the upcoming week So I'm gonna head in do my grocery shopping. I'll be back to show you my grocery haul We'll talk about what's on my plan for my meals and also cannot wait for meal prep once again this week So if you want to see what I picked up for the upcoming week my meal plan and meal prep just stay tuned So here is my grocery haul for this week. I went to Fred Meyer, which is also a Kroger store I got quite a bit this week because I'm gearing up for some holiday Meals as well as some baking both for Weight Watchers and also just for Christmas in general So let's jump right into what I picked up for the week So I saw these on Instagram and I wasn't able to find them and as I was walking towards the checkout I spotted them and had to pick them up. I've heard that they're delicious This is the equal gingerbread cookie. These are zero calories So they're zero smart points and they're just a flavored sweetener to add to coffee So if you're having maybe a second cup of coffee and you don't want to use points, this is a great alternative I have not tried these yet, but I will definitely let you guys know how they are They were 399 a box and there is 80 packets So equal gingerbread cookie and then I also picked up the equal peppermint mocha So I grabbed both of the seasonal flavors. They sound really good. I've heard that they're absolutely delicious So I will definitely let you guys know But I thought this was nice to have as a backup if you want to have a zero-point cup of coffee Also some light butter. This is for of course just regular eating as well as for some baking I did pick up some unsalted butter I make sugar cookies every year and it calls for unsalted butter and we only have salted So this is for those sugar cookies in the bulk section.  So these regular Kroger large eggs are for Baking and recipes and then for eating. I picked up the peat and jerry's organic eggs I had a coupon for these otherwise. I would have got the happy eggs, but these are pretty good They are a little more hit and miss as far as the orangeness of the yolk I find that the happy eggs are a little bit more consistent consistently a high quality egg But because I had a coupon a good coupon, I decided to pick these up for the week Some meat some 96 for extra lean ground beef. I have quite a few recipes that call for ground beef this week Also a pound of 93 7 ground turkey I am on the green plan. So the 99 turkey I have to count points for and I like the little fattier 93 7 a lot better as far as taste and texture and I need this for a recipe as well Center cut bacon. This is my very favorite the private selection You can have two slices of this bacon for only one smart point. So this is for meal prep as well For my snack for the week. I picked up some reduced sugar craisans. These are the 50% less sugar They are way less points. I think it's a tablespoon for one point So they're great to add to salads or again to use for any type of baking Canned goods. I have a very small can of tomato sauce for a recipe I also have a can of water chestnuts and again, this is for an upcoming recipe as well I always buy the sliced water chestnuts versus the whole Diced tomatoes no salt added And then I picked up fat free ready whip, of course. I pick this up every single week I do still have quite a bit but with the holidays coming up I wanted to make sure that I was you know stocked up and don't run out of the ready whip This is for Christmas But I wanted to share them because you can work this type of thing into your day These are the lint truffles. This is the assorted pack We play a game on Christmas that you wrap things in saran wrap And then you have to try to unwrap it as people roll dice So I thought that these truffles because they are individually wrapped would be great to use in that game So I picked those up Chicken broth for an upcoming recipe again some salsa for a recipe Actually, the croaker mild is really good and it is not spicy So if you are someone that doesn't really like spicy food, this is a great salsa Unsweetened applesauce again for 10 million recipes coming out for baking And then we do like to just eat this as a fruit with some cinnamon on top as well And then green olives just for snacking my husband loves green olives So we like to have these on hand and this big jar was a great price at croaker. And again, this is a great snack It's great to put out on your Christmas spread. So I grabbed those 100 cranberry juice. This is for my meal prep They this is very expensive to buy just raw cranberry juice that doesn't have any added sugar So this is for a recipe and then I don't know what I'll do with it from there Maybe I'll try to come up with another recipe Because it's not the best to just drink but it's really good for recipes and low in smart points I also picked up some popcorn because this last week I really wanted popcorn and we didn't have any And these are just the 100 calorie packs. I picked up the butter and sea salt from jolly time So now I will have Popcorn on hand when I am just craving some popcorn Some dark brown sugar for baking The only difference between dark and light is the amount of molasses. So my recipe actually called for dark So I went ahead and picked up the dark brown sugar Another bag of flour just because tis the season for baking Some itty bitty mini pretzels one of my recipes called for mini pretzels These are tiny teeny baby little pretzels, but you can have a ton of them for the smart point So you feel like you're getting a lot for a little amount of points So you can have 53 pretzels for I believe three points But of course it is here on the screen for you.  This is for Christmas We like to do meat cheese crackers and I did pick up that cracker assortment from trader joe's So I will have this and then we'll also slice up a couple different kinds of cheese So I have colby jack and extra sharp cheddar. So these will be for Christmas. So everything else I have is produce So I picked up blueberries. These were on sale for I think 4.99 or 450 for this big pack So I thought I would have blueberries as a fruit this week Parsley for a recipe two limes for my water I almost got lemons, but I remembered how much I just love lime in my water So I grabbed a couple more limes These apples are for an upcoming recipe Green onions for a recipe green pepper for a recipe Four avocados. I need this for my lunch meal prep and I picked up an extra one just to have on hand I've been loving avocados. I've been eating them almost every single day. I just I love them This was a great deal. This is the organic girl protein greens So these are sweet pea leaves and these were on sale for $1.99 And for my lunch meal prep I am making a salad So I thought that these would be nice To toss into the salad and you can see they're just little micro greens and they're actually really really good I've had I've had these before And then Italian style lettuce mix. So it's romaine and radicchio So I'll mix that with the protein greens and that will be the base for my salad And then a butternut squash. I really wanted the pre chopped pre cut pre everything butternut squash But they didn't have any so I get the pleasure of cutting this up Which is not fun, but it'll work because it's for my lunch meal prep So that is everything other than a case of water that I picked up for this week So let's get into my meal plan and what I am doing for meal prep So let's get right into this week's meal plan and what I am doing this week for meal prep This is my kary l meal planner My new one is going to be delivered today. So I'll definitely be sharing that with you guys She came out with some beautiful new covers That are awesome and the inside she kind of revamped the way she did the meal planner And I'm so excited to get mine for 2020 in the mail But this is the one I've been using all of 2019. I love it I still have a little bit left as far as meal planning go So I'll continue to use it until it has been used up But this is what my meal planner looks like. I do have the eight and a half by 11 Which is the larger meal planner. She also has a Seven by nine and she also has digital versions. So you can pretty much pick up whatever works best for you But these meal planners are very comprehensive There are several tabs down the side to help you plan your meals Give you recipe ideas resources places to take notes I am excited to use this section the gatherings for Christmas You can plan any type of event at your house the food that you're going to be Serving as well as making a grocery list to take to the store. So this section is going to come in extremely handy this time of year We're going to dive in a little bit more into the yellow tab, which is actually the meal plans tab So each month you do have a calendar where you can map out your meal plan by the month I use this everything single week as you can see I like it for two reasons one because what I'm making for dinner the next day is here at a glance So it makes it very easy for me to know exactly what is on my meal plan for the next day I can make sure I have all of the ingredients and I can also make sure that I have My meat pulled out of the freezer and ready to go. So I just take whatever recipes I'm making for the week and I just write them down And I only do track dinner in my meal planner only because I meal prep breakfast and lunch So there's no reason that to track it here in the meal planner And then every week there is also a weekly menu And this is where I'll go into a little bit more detail of what I'm planning And again, I only do my dinners for the entire week And there is also a detachable grocery list that you can take to the grocery store with you Which I do every single week. So mine is always missing. This is a great place You can track your breakfast your lunches. You don't just have to do your dinners That's just what I do do to meal prep. So love it. Love it So each week you'll see that I have my grocery list missing and let's dive into this week So this is the week of 12 14 through 12 20 My weeks go from saturday through friday. So today is saturday and my plan is to go out to dinner I don't know if this will happen I may actually end up making dinner because I used my weeklies yesterday at my holiday party But we shall see I may just pick something up after my open house, but that's the plan for tonight So tomorrow sunday, I'm going to be making italian turkey meatballs with potatoes So this is comfort food at its finest but low points. So I can't wait for that Also, I'm going to be making a crock pot meatloaf on monday veggie pot pies on tuesday Wednesday is upside down taco pie. This sounds really good.

So i'll be using my weeklies next friday And then on the back of my weekly menu is where I plan out my meal prep So it makes it just really easy everything's in one spot So for breakfast this week, I am so excited. I am making a gingerbread apple pancake bake So this is going to have all things christmas flavored with gingerbread and apples and spices Super excited about that for lunches this week. I've been craving salad I've really been wanting a big delicious salad. So i'm going to make a winter cob salad Stay tuned for this recipe because it's a little bit different.

Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book reading session. And we're in reading set number four for a comic book reads and since we've taken a long time I've tried to introduce, have some reads of some comic books that we didn't have on our list. And this is one of them. This is the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special and I've been meaning to read this for you guys for a couple of years now, two or three years now, because this is the comic book that I associate with this time of year. It's sort of a Christmas special that they put out back in 1991 and it's the one that stood out for me. I've read a few comic book Christmas specials over the years and this is the one that just every year I either try to track this down from my collection in my boxes or I sit down and watch a sort of fan movie that was made in 2002 I believe and it was uploaded to YouTube in 2005. So I came across it during that time, during the early days of YouTube. I think even before Google had bought it out, I think Google bought out YouTube in 2006 maybe and I started watching that fan-based film which is based on this comic book, the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special back in 2005, 2006 and it blew me away. It was one of the first fan-based comic book movies that was ever put out and it is absolutely fantastic and it follows the story of this comic book. Basically not panel by panel, but it follows it very closely. It will not disappoint if you've read this comic book and you haven't seen that fan-based movie. Take a look at it. It's available on YouTube. It's both 15 minutes, 13 minutes long or so I believe anyway and it's fantastic and this comic book when it first came out in 1991, it really blew away anything else that was being put out and it blew away anything else that was put out for this time of year for the Christmas specials that most comic books, most publishers put out because it was it was a sort of a different theme. It was basically extremely violent. It was, you know, I'm going to give it a little bit of spoiler right now if you haven't read this but basically the story is Lobo which is a galactic, basically the main man. This is considered to be the main man in comic books if anyone says who's the main man in comic books? It's Lobo and he's basically a assassin right? He's the galaxy's assassin and he's the number one assassin in the world and if you want to know who this character is, this Lobo character is, we've done the reading for the first appearance of Lobo and I've mentioned Lobo countless times through my comic book videos. He is basically one of my main top mainstream comic book characters that I love and it's he's basically the top character from DC comics that I like and the top character from the top two top two publishers Marvel and DC that I really like and the reason that I fell in love with Lobo, it was through Omega Men, it was through some of his appearances he made in DC comics but what really sealed the deal for me for getting into Lobo and just him being my favorite character in comic books for a number of years, a number of years and basically my favorite character from DC and Marvel right from big two was the Lobo miniseries that came out in 1990, Lobo the Last Zarnian and the creative team for that miniseries which I've mentioned numerous times, we haven't read that series yet, we might at some point but that comic book series came out in 1990 and the creative team for that miniseries was Keith Giffen and Alan Grant with the writers and the Penciller Ford were Simon Bisley and Keith Giffen and the Inker was Simon Bisley and the colorist was Laverne Konzinski, I apologize about pronouncing the name incorrectly, I'm not very good at pronouncing these complicated names but the creative team that put out Lobo the Last Zarnian, the 4 issue miniseries, that's the same creative team that worked on this special as well on this comic book as well and they're actually the same creative team that worked on Lobo's back, the second miniseries that came out after this Lobo paramilitary Christmas special, I think I got that chronology correct, it might have been a couple of one shots here and there before Lobo's back came out, okay so it's the same creative team that put out the Last Zarnian Lobo paramilitary Christmas special and Lobo's back which is the creative team of Keith Giffen, Alan Grant, Simon Bisley and colorist being Laverne Konzinski, okay and just to give you a little bit of a history on the second miniseries that they put out with Lobo's back, there was a little bit of controversy about that miniseries because Simon Bisley was doing the artwork, he was doing the covers and everything for it right and for the first three issues, Lobo's back number one, number two and number three, Simon Bisley did the pencils form and the inks form and with Keith Giffen doing some of the pencils right and then it came out that Bisley had sort of put in a little bit of art that was not supposed to be in the cover of Lobo's back number one and you can see that art in the, I believe it's the left arm of Lobo and it's a male's organ, private organ part that he sort of sketched in there sort of a hidden, some people say it wasn't meant to be in there, some people say that he put it out intentionally, put that art in there intentionally, we're not 100% sure, I didn't look at the time we didn't have the internet so I couldn't dig down any further into this but it was sort of controversial at the time and when Lobo's back was being put out there was a fair bit of delay between issue number two and issue number three, issue number two for Lobo's back came out in May, issue number one for Lobo's back came out in May 1992, number two came out in June 1992 and number three was supposed to be coming out in July but it came out in October 1992 and then number four came out in November 1992. Now I believe Simon Bisley had done the artwork for issue number three so Simon Bisley's artwork is still in issue number three but for issue number four another penciler was brought in to do issue number four and that was Christian Alamy okay and Keith Giffen still worked on the pencils on that as well okay so that's a little bit of a history on Lobo and the creative team of Keith Giffen, Alan Grant and Simon Bisley the people who have who put out this comic book and put out the first for you comics with Lobo the last Zarnian Lobo's back and this issue special issue and Alan Grant and Keith Giffen continued to work on Lobo in the 1990s and Alan Grant he was one of the he was a main writer basically for almost everything Lobo that came out in 1990s there was a few other people I believe that put out some issues but Alan Grant was basically wrote 95% of the Lobo issues that came out in the early mid and late 90s as well I believe and Keith Giffen was heavily involved in Lobo as well and unfortunately Simon Bisley I believe because of what he did for the cover of a Lobo's back he was sort of pulled out of Lobo and he sort of blacklisted and I don't know if he did any more Lobo stories Lobo comics in the 1990s I don't think I have any more in my collection okay and again if you want to know who Lobo is and his origin and stuff like this you can take a look at the video we put out with the first few appearances of Lobo you know Mega Man where we flipped through the books and read basically the Lobo parts right but what we're going to do right now I'm not going to give you any spoilers regarding what this story is about you can take a look at the fan-based fan-based film that was put out in 1990 in 2002 which is available on YouTube it's been available on YouTube since 2005 and it's fantastic and it follows this story very accurately right then you can read a little description on it on online if you want to know what the story is going to be about but fair warning goes out right and there is a warning here let me see if I can get the glare off this thing actually let's crack this open and then we won't get the glare from the plastic let's take these guys off and this was when this first came out I bought a few issues of this because I gave some of the issues to some people and I kept a few issues of these because I really wanted extra copies of these and every now and then I've given them as gifts to people and I still have a few issues left right so I don't I'm pretty sure this is an unread copy but let me give you the warning here this might be one of my red copies because it was easy for me to find and it's got a couple of things here I'm not sure if you can see it let me see if I can see that little creases there and there's a little crease here as well a little crease here if you run your finger on the edges of the comics you can feel the creases right but other than those things this is you know there's a little bit of let me see if I can get the glare on there so you can see it yeah right there see that little thing there it's very minor very minor but basically this comic would be graded like 9.2 or something right but let me read you this warning that they're giving and I don't think this is they said mature readers on this oh it does say mature say look at this let's see if we can read this seriously suggested for mature readers right and again lobo special 1991 okay and it came out the month that it came out well it says it's winter 1991 so I'm assuming it came out in December okay and the other warning that they have down here is warning contains bad taste in the form of ultraviolence icon bashing and the finger more offensive than Christmas usually is right and a lot of Christmas specials that have come out from comic book publishers they're very uh Christmasy they're very cheery and you know superheroes help out Santa Claus to deliver his presents and whatever it is and this one is a little different okay so the lobo paramilitary Christmas special and again the creators of this comic Keith Giffen Alan Grant Simon Bisley and Laverne Grzinski is the colorist for this and the letter was taught taught Klein okay and the covers definitely Simon Bisley right so let's take a look at this thing one thing has influenced every present present decision in the history of the united states the constitution the words we live by take a look at this one thing has influenced every presential decision in the history of the united states we the people right the constitution for over 200 years through war the depression let me bring this up a little the depression even civil unrest the constitution had influenced every presidential decision is what the framers of our constitution wanted they knew what it was like to live in a country governed by a king so when our founding fathers create the constitution they wrote article two specifically to define the powers of the presidency to take a close closer look at one of history's most important job descriptions sent for a free information kit which contains a copy of the constitution right constitution washington dc two thousand two zero zero zero six dash three nine nine nine the constitution the words we live by right that's cool cancel those are the people that are sharing this this is classic Simon Bisley splash pages right beautiful artwork let's get a close up of this and before we begin the reading we're going to read the little small print here they've written this thing really small so i'm going to try to show this
