When you say, 'we're going to sweep, we're going to sweep, we're going to sweep it,' all that does is put our side to sleep and energize their side. We need to handle every election like we're 20 points down." - Jim Larkin22:19 - "For whatever reason, the RINO, the Never Trump Republicans rather send the country in the state down into the toilet than vote for a candidate who happened to be endorsed by Trump. If you look at the state offices, the Republican candidates who did not get a Trump endorsement are winning their races." - Steve Hayes30:31 - "If you start speaking out against somebody who happens to be black, you're a racist. As soon as you start speaking out on this and saying, Hey, this isn't making sense now. You're an election denier. You're one of those right-wing extremist election deniers." - Jim Larkin1:07:39 - "We've got everyday patriots out there trying to educate people on the constitution and what the government can and can't do. You can't take the government on until you know what they're allowed to do. Never once on this show have we advocated for militias to take the government on with arms. Never once." - Jim LarkinFollow the Pod Bless America Podcast on GETTRSubscribe to Freedom Square to know moreEngage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: [email protected]: [email protected] to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
