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 "I'll tell you where it's coming from (lawlessness). It's coming from the Democrats, supporting people burning down their cities. It's coming from Democrats launching a war on the police." - Jim Larkin "When you're down there with your family in these democratically run cities, you cannot be the guy who is just taking pictures and having a good time." - Jim Larkin "The United States of America that I know is not systematically racist. I know a lot of cops, a thousand of cops. 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 Engage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: [email protected] Listen to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
