Favorite Quotes
00:42 - "People don't care anymore, and it's ignorance. People don't know what's in the constitution. They don't know what the government is allowed to do. I'll tell you what the government is not allowed to do about 90% of what the government is doing. Their authority in the constitution is few and defined. They do not have the authority to be doing what they're doing." - Jim Larkin
1:06 - "Joe Biden is unconstitutional. He's admitting that the eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. But they're going to keep doing it until the Supreme Court tells him they can't do it." - Jim Larkin
1:47 -"All those people that feel disenfranchised now don't trust the elections. You can not stop voting. If you stop voting, you are giving them a legitimate victory at this point. You can't give up on the process. But if we aren't turning out to vote, then they're going to win legitimately. They're going to win strictly on numbers alone." - Jim Larkin
2:20 - "I am not anti-vax. I believe in vaccines and I believe in Science. You can be pro-vax and also pro-medical freedom. You do what's right for you. You do what you think is right for you and right for your family. If you choose not to do it, you should not be forced with losing your livelihood and not being able to provide for your family because you're making a decision that you think is best for you and your family." - Jim Larkin
3:04 - "Whether you have the vaccine or you don't have the vaccine, you better be standing up for freedom right now. You can not separate yourself and say, 'that's for those people, not me' because one day it's going to be you. If you don't stand up right now and you don't take a stand against the government, you don't have any reason at all to complain about it." - Jim Larkin
3:56 - "We have failed our founders and that we don't care anymore. Apathy has taken over and you think somebody's going to save you? You think that the one Congressman that you elect is gonna go in there and he's gonna save you? Well, I got news for you. Not only is he not going to save you, but your Congressman is also actively working against you. Your Congressman is working for his own good. He is working for reelection. Your Congressman is working for those dollars coming in from the lobbyist. It is up to you to save yourself. And how you gonna save yourself is this May, in the primaries." - Jim Larkin
5:24 - "You can say almost anything. And the left is labeling you a racist, a white extremist. I'm sure I'm an extremist right now because I believe in the constitution and you can't deny that. The fact that I want to have an opinion that is different from the left should not affect my employment, should not affect my kids in school, and shouldn't get docked. I shouldn't have people coming to my house. It's absolutely ludicrous that this is happening." - Jim Larkin
5:54 - "We gotta get back to conservative values. We gotta get back to what made this country great. And then we can start compromising. We've gotten so far to the left. We need to bring it back." - Jim Larkin
6:22 - "Think about the last time we were all together, when we stood for the same, it was 9-11. I thought the coronavirus itself, when it broke out, was going to give us that same sort of stand together against. But it totally didn't. It made it worse." - Dan Wilkinson Jr.
6:41 - "The government divided us into two more groups. So now it's not just black and white, gay and straight, conservative and liberal. It's not lefties and right-wing. It's now vaccinated and unvaccinated, mask and no mask." - Jim Larkin
7:31 - "The media absolutely is the fourth arm of the democratic government. The media is the propaganda arm of the federal government. And they're going to make sure that Joe Biden does not look to be in a bad light." - Jim Larkin
8:25 - "I think that's exactly what you need to do with the woke left. You can sit back and you can let them change everything that's important to America. Everything that's important to you your whole life. You can have them take the ‘Christ’ out of Christmas. You can have them take the pilgrims out of Thanksgiving. And you could sit back and be quiet about it because you're scared that you're going to be labeled something or you could stand up and you could fight against this woke mob and you could take this country back and the things that are important to this country." - Jim Larkin
8:57 - "So the woke mob is trying to control more than the government. The woke mob is trying to control what we can say, what we can't say, and how we say it. Conservatives are afraid to speak out against the left because they're going to be labeled racist and they're going to be labeled an extremist. And as soon as the woke mob gets a hold of that, now they're gonna attack you. They're gonna attack your job. They're going to attack your livelihood. They're gonna attack your family. And they're gonna try to cancel everything that you've ever been or ever worked for. " - Jim Larkin
10:09 - "Having a constitutional sheriff I think is more important to everybody with each election. I think when people elect you, they're not electing you based on your fiscal policies or anything other than the fact that where you are with the constitution." - Jim Larkin
10:48 - "I think the way to win this country back is through state governments. I think the way to win it back is to send people that understand state sovereignty and are willing to stand up to the federal government and say, ‘not today’." - Jim Larkin
11:56 - "Our founders right now would be rolling over. 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
12:16 - "The United States of America that I know is not systematically racist. I know a lot of cops, a thousand of them. 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
13:50 - "And now you're saying, 'Well you know what, primaries don't matter. I'm going to vote in the general. That's the one that matters.' But by the time you get to the general, you got two bad candidates. So we continue to elect the same bad candidates who are in it for themselves, except in all this lobbyist money. They're not in it for you anymore. They're in it just to make leviathan get bigger and more powerful until you can't stop them. And that's where we're at right now." - Jim Larkin
14:47 - "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
15:56 - "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 and Jim Wilkinson Jr.
17:06 - "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 because they believe so strongly in individual liberty." - Jim Larkin
17:52 - “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 as a sense of Americans is what it comes down to. It is. And on his behalf." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.
18:20 - "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
