Favorite Quotes
15:07 - "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
23:23 - "The simple fact that she (Marjorie Taylor Greene) is not following the narrative and she's getting kicked off of major social media platforms, that should scare everybody. Because if you're not following the narrative, now you're gonna be in jeopardy of losing your voice." - 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

E12 - The Two Party System Part 2
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. Though third parties have always struggled to make any headway in the two-party system, they have the potential to disrupt the Republican-Democrat duopoly. And now is their chance to change history.
In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the numbers behind the US political parties, what it takes for independent parties to gain seats, and why breaking the two-party system remains an uphill battle.

Favorite Quotes
"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

E14 - SCOTUS and Vaccine Mandates: Biden's Failure
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.
In This Episode
1:03 - SCOTUS ruling on vaccine mandate
2:30 - How vaccine mandates are leading to job losses
5:13 - How bold thinkers like Shane Hazel are being muzzled on social media
9:57 - What the government does to trample on first amendment rights
15:03 - How Joe Biden talks about unity, but his actions are dividing the country

Favorite Quotes
13:13 - “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 to censor Americans is what it comes down to. It is. And on his behalf." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
2:07 - "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, as they believe so strongly in individual liberty." - Jim Larkin
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
