E14 - SCOTUS and Vaccine Mandates: Biden's Failure
Explicit content warning
01/24/22 • 42 min
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.

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

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

Favorite Quotes
15:21 - "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
13:22 - "I've been in law enforcement for 29 years. It is illegal to possess, consume, use, and sell marijuana right now. And even though I do in my heart believe that it should be legal, it is a law. It's not unconstitutional. 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
