Favorite Quotes
04:51 - "And I'm surprised how many people here the last couple years would lay their rights down and just expect the government to tell them what to do, where to do it, and how to do it.

35:33 - "Here's a sad part, I've been all around this state, talked to thousands of people, and there are so many people they don't know who their representative is in the house, they don't know who their representative is in the Senate, and they don't know how a bill gets into a committee or how it gets passed and gets around to the governor's desk. They are just totally blind." - Joe Blystone
44:10 - "You as a parent should be deciding if your children should be getting a vaccine or not, not your school, not your governor and not your job. Nobody should have their job held hostage for a vaccine or not." - Joe Blystone

When you think about the heroes of the pandemic, who comes to mind? Nurses? Doctors? Scientists? While all of these people are certainly important, there is another group of unsung heroes that deserve recognition: truckers. Truckers have been on the front lines of this pandemic since day one, and they have played a critical role in keeping the country running.
But when Canadian truckers began protesting against the vaccine mandate, the media was quick to label them as terrorists. Is this an accurate portrayal of these individuals? Or are they, in fact, misunderstood heroes?
In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about how the media characterizes truckers protesting as terrorists, why Defiant Ls is Jim’s next favorite, and what the media says about Donald Trump's spy claims.

Favorite Quotes
05:18 - "Yeah, they're blocking traffic but they're not burning cities down. They're not shooting people. But they're going against the narrative. They're going against the establishment and they're bringing attention to it. That's the worst thing for them. I mean really, did you know what Canada was doing with these mandates before this? No. But the world does now." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
03:00 - "During the lockdowns truckers were heroes, they were delivering all our goods. Now they're terrorists, absolute terrorists. Every one of them. They went from being an essential worker to essentially not needed." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.

Favorite Quotes
26:59 - "Conservatives do have a problem with this. We have a problem with it because you've just excluded everybody, everybody in the country from being a Supreme court justice because you're gonna pick up a black woman. I don't care if it's a black woman. But put her up against the white guy, put her up against the Hispanic chick, put her up against my Tongan girl and let's take the best one. Let's take who's gonna do the best job. Not because she's black and not because she's a woman." - Jim Larkin
11:57 - "He (Justice Breyer) would have liked to have announced his retirement at the end of the term, which would be June or July. That's pushed way too close to the midterms. And in the midterms, you have 34 Senate seats up in November, 20 Republicans, 14 Democrats. And if they lose the house, they lose the Senate, it's all Republican-controlled now. And then he retires, with zero chance that there's a nominee getting through." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
27:50 - He (Joe Biden) needs to do something to get those people back in. They need something right now to try to bring them back in, to get those votes because they know they're about to get wrecked in May and probably November." - Jim Larkin
29:24 - "Every candidate should be solely vetted on their writings and their decisions as it relates to the United States Constitution. It shouldn't matter what color you are. It shouldn't matter what sex you are. Whoever is the most constitutional candidate should get the nod." - Jim Larkin

Favorite Quotes
18:02 - "It's a peaceful protest. There's no violence. These truckers are just showing up. They're laying on their horns. They're blocking the roads, which over here block the streets, and manage disorderly conduct. That's all it is, certainly not insurrection. And they (government) are moving to cut off their money, their fuel, their food, any supplies coming into them, and that makes me feel like they're not gonna come in with the intent to negotiate." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.

Favorite Quotes
00:42 - "People don't care anymore, and it's ignorance. People don't know what's in the constitution. They don't know what the government is allowed to do. I'll tell you what the government is not allowed to do about 90% of what the government is doing. Their authority in the constitution is few and defined. They do not have the authority to be doing what they're doing." - Jim Larkin
1:06 - "Joe Biden is unconstitutional. He's admitting that the eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. But they're going to keep doing it until the Supreme Court tells him they can't do it." - Jim Larkin
1:47 -"All those people that feel disenfranchised now don't trust the elections. You can not stop voting. If you stop voting, you are giving them a legitimate victory at this point. You can't give up on the process. But if we aren't turning out to vote, then they're going to win legitimately. They're going to win strictly on numbers alone." - Jim Larkin
2:20 - "I am not anti-vax. I believe in vaccines and I believe in Science. You can be pro-vax and also pro-medical freedom. You do what's right for you. You do what you think is right for you and right for your family. If you choose not to do it, you should not be forced with losing your livelihood and not being able to provide for your family because you're making a decision that you think is best for you and your family." - Jim Larkin
3:04 - "Whether you have the vaccine or you don't have the vaccine, you better be standing up for freedom right now. You can not separate yourself and say, 'that's for those people, not me' because one day it's going to be you. If you don't stand up right now and you don't take a stand against the government, you don't have any reason at all to complain about it." - Jim Larkin
3:56 - "We have failed our founders and that we don't care anymore. Apathy has taken over and you think somebody's going to save you? You think that the one Congressman that you elect is gonna go in there and he's gonna save you? Well, I got news for you. Not only is he not going to save you, but your Congressman is also actively working against you. Your Congressman is working for his own good. He is working for reelection. Your Congressman is working for those dollars coming in from the lobbyist. It is up to you to save yourself. And how you gonna save yourself is this May, in the primaries." - Jim Larkin
5:24 - "You can say almost anything. And the left is labeling you a racist, a white extremist. I'm sure I'm an extremist right now because I believe in the constitution and you can't deny that. The fact that I want to have an opinion that is different from the left should not affect my employment, should not affect my kids in school, and shouldn't get docked. I shouldn't have people coming to my house. It's absolutely ludicrous that this is happening." - Jim Larkin
5:54 - "We gotta get back to conservative values. We gotta get back to what made this country great. And then we can start compromising. We've gotten so far to the left. We need to bring it back." - Jim Larkin
6:22 - "Think about the last time we were all together, when we stood for the same, it was 9-11. I thought the coronavirus itself, when it broke out, was going to give us that same sort of stand together against. But it totally didn't. It made it worse." - Dan Wilkinson Jr.
6:41 - "The government divided us into two more groups. So now it's not just black and white, gay and straight, conservative and liberal. It's not lefties and right-wing. It's now vaccinated and unvaccinated, mask and no mask." - Jim Larkin
7:31 - "The media absolutely is the fourth arm of the democratic government. The media is the propaganda arm of the federal government. And they're going to make sure that Joe Biden does not look to be in a bad light." - Jim Larkin
8:25 - "I think that's exactly what you need to do with the woke left. You can sit back and you can let them change everything that's important to America. Everything that's important to you your whole life. You can have them take the ‘Christ’ out of Christmas. You can have them take the pilgrims out of Thanksgiving. And you could sit back and be quiet about it because you're scared that you're going to be labeled something or you could stand up and you could fight against this woke mob and you could take this country back and the things that are important to this country." - Jim Larkin
8:57 - "So the woke mob is trying to control more than the government. The woke mob is trying to control what we can say, what we can't say, and how we say it. Conservatives are afraid to speak out against the left because they're going to be labeled racist and they're going to be labeled an extremist. And as soon as the woke mob gets a hold of that, now they're gonna attack you. They're gonna attack your job. They're going to attack your livelihood. They're gonna attack your family. And they're gonna try to cancel everything that you've ever been or ever worked for. " - Jim Larkin
10:09 - "Having a constitutional sheriff I think is more important to everybody with each election. I think when people elect you, they're not electing you based on your fiscal policies or anything other than the fact that where you are with the constitution." - Jim Larkin
10:48 - "I think the way to win this country back is through state governments. I think the way to win it back is to send people that understand state sovereignty and are willing to stand up to the federal government and say, ‘not today’." - Jim Larkin
11:56 - "Our founders right now would be rolling over. I mean, if they were all brought back to life for a month and they saw 81-year-old Nancy Pelosi running off the mouth like this, I can assure you that muskets would be loaded." - Jim Larkin
12:16 - "The United States of America that I know is not systematically racist. I know a lot of cops, a thousand of them. I don't know a racist cop. Every cop I know is doing the right thing. If you're a black guy and you got a gun and you're up to no good with it, you're going to get arrested. If you're a white guy and you got a gun and you're up to no good with it, you're going to get arrested." - Jim Larkin
13:50 - "And now you're saying, 'Well you know what, primaries don't matter. I'm going to vote in the general. That's the one that matters.' But by the time you get to the general, you got two bad candidates. So we continue to elect the same bad candidates who are in it for themselves, except in all this lobbyist money. They're not in it for you anymore. They're in it just to make leviathan get bigger and more powerful until you can't stop them. And that's where we're at right now." - Jim Larkin
14:47 - "So the country knows that there's a problem. The country knows that the government is dividing us and it's getting worse, but we can't get a third party off the ground? 82% know this, and we're gonna keep voting for the Republicans, we're gonna keep voting for the Democrats? And we know what they're doing to us? If you take that 82% and put them all into a third party, we take the power away from the Republicans and the Democrats." - Jim Larkin
15:56 - "She (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) is the poster child of the CDC until she gets to Florida and stars in a 'Congresswoman Gone Wild'. She's been in a packed venue with no mask on, having a great time, loving the beach, leaving her whole state of New York, and just coming down and vacationing in beautiful Florida. Problem is that she got caught." - Jim Larkin and Jim Wilkinson Jr.
17:06 - "There are a lot of people out there that have the vaccine that are still against this mandate. They understand freedom and they understand liberty. They're willing to lose their jobs, even though they've vaccinated because they believe so strongly in individual liberty." - Jim Larkin
17:52 - “When does this stop? When do we finally just say, 'My God, you put your hand on the Bible to uphold the constitution and your entire presidency is nothing but end games around the constitution. He knows he can't do it himself so he's having other people do his bidding. It's disgusting. He's imploring social media companies as a sense of Americans is what it comes down to. It is. And on his behalf." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
18:20 - "So that's their thinking. We're gonna lock you up, you're gonna be forced to detox. But here's the problem; so you detox but you don't get the mental help you need to fight the addiction, to understand the addiction, and to break free of that addiction. So when you get out, what's the first thing you do to celebrate? They go back and they use the amount they were using before they went to prison. Other bodies can't handle it. Boom! Done. You die with a needle in your arm. You don't even have time to take that needle outta your arm. Ask me how I know. I've seen plenty of them." - Jim Larkin

The states have a right to do what they want to do. and I will enforce that law." - Jim Larkin
18:30 - "Now you made the conscious decision the first time to try it (heroin). But after you made that one mistake and you tried it one time, you're done. You are rewired and your life now is consumed with doing nothing by trying to figure out where you're gonna get your next hit." - Jim Larkin

The right to liberty is a fundamental right that is enshrined in the United States Constitution. This right protects citizens from being forced to do anything against their will. The vaccine mandate, on the other hand, has been causing controversy as it is clearly an attempt to compromise this right.
In a stunning turn of events, the Supreme Court has ruled that the COVID vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. This is a major win for freedom and individual liberty.
In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the Supreme Court’s ruling on vaccine mandate, how the federal government is trampling on first amendment rights, and the way the Biden administration is dividing the country.
Also featured in this episode are a few audio clips, including Joe Biden's past speech about uniting America, yet his actions today undermine the constitution and create division.

And on his behalf." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.

26:31 - "What the Supreme Court is relying heavily on right here is that you (federal government) don't have the right to do this. There is nothing in the constitution that gives you the right to mandate private companies, to force vaccines on their employees." - Jim Larkin
39:04 - "The people that are on the opposite, they believe that those (SCOTUS) judges are Republican judges, that it's all partisan. But as long as they are ruling for the constitution, that's how it's supposed to work. They are always supposed to be on the side of the constitution." - Jim Larkin

39:36 - "So they're saying (CDC) that now it's (COVID) not so deadly that we can't be open. So all you, business owners out there who lost your business during the first lockdown, what do you guys think about this? What do you think about the fact that now it's not deadly? This is exactly why nobody trusts Fauci and nobody trusts the CDC anymore. This is exactly why the government should have stayed out of it from the start and let the CDC do what the CDS do and just let them be independent." - Jim Larkin

The American people are aware that the government is dividing the country. The two-party system has failed to provide a clear representation of the people and instead created a country divided by red and blue states. However, there may be hope on the horizon.

"So the country knows that there's a problem. The country knows that the government is dividing us and it's getting worse, but we can't get a third party off the ground? 82% know this, and we're gonna keep voting for the Republicans, we're gonna keep voting for the Democrats? And we know what they're doing to us? If you take that 82% and put them all into a third party, we take the power away from the Republicans and the Democrats." - Jim Larkin
"Give the independence a home to where they can be counted, to where they can get the funding, to where they can be seen as a force to be reckoned with. Because every election cycle, we get to have a face in a name." - Dan Wilkinson Jr.
"If we could get everybody on board with an independent party and we could push the Democrats and the Republicans out of the fringes or at least give us 33% share, politics changes." - Jim Larkin
"We need to quit buying into the stuff that the social media and the government is pushing on us. We need to start treating each other right and then we can move on into this. We're never going to be able to get a third party if we stay so divided." - Jim Larkin
"Start finding these younger generations that are sick of these older generations running this country into the ground. And they know it's time for a change. These are the young guys that are coming up that believe in term limits" - Jim Larkin

In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the US political parties - the known and the not-so-familiar, how American electoral politics have been dominated by two major parties, and why third parties can be a way to win back the country.

"And now you're saying, 'Well you know what, primaries don't matter. I'm going to vote in the general. That's the one that matters.' But the time you get to the general, you got two bad candidates. So we continue to elect the same bad candidates who are in it for themselves, except in all this lobbyist money. They're not in it for you anymore. They're in it just to make leviathan get bigger and more powerful until you can't stop them. And that's where we're at right now." - Jim Larkin
"The Republicans and Democrats are going to destroy this country and there's going to come to a point where we need to break away. And the third party is the way to do it." - Jim Larkin
"There is a higher power that gives you rights as a human being that cannot be taken away by government. So I don't know if I'm necessarily opposed to them saying that the constitution was created from inspiration from God. I'm not the most religious guy, but I don't have a problem with that." - Jim Larkin
"People have gotten away. Morality has gotten away. You can't argue the fact that you take the church out of society and society goes Sodom and Gomorrah. I'm not the most religious guy, but I do believe that the 10 commandments are a good way to live your life." - Jim Larkin
"The way to win this country back is through the states. You need to start getting rid of the dead weight and your state legislatures start electing legislators that understand state sovereignty who are willing to stand up to the federal government." - Jim Larkin
