Are you going to protect this county when the federal government comes in here to try to take our guns? Are you going to protect this county when the federal government comes in here and says, we can't speak out against them?" - Jim Larkin "From the beginning, it's the constitution with me. It's not waffling to whatever political win or group wants it. Right or wrong, some groups didn't want it, but they knew where I stood." - Sheriff Fredrick Stevens "In today's cancel culture and attack mode mentality, it is hard to take a stand on anything. I am not anti-vaccine and I am not pro-vaccine. All I am is pro-freedom! I am for each person's ability and responsibility to decide for themselves in cooperation with their family doctor whether to get the vaccine or not." - Sheriff Fredrick Stevens "I am not running for reelection. I'm running to make things right out here to stop the lawsuits, to bring stability, and to bring the constitution back in our country." - Sheriff Fredrick Stevens Engage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: [email protected] Listen to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
