## Resource

Manuel, host of 'The Manuel Fontes Show' joins the show to discuss the podcast wars and call out personalities like Dave Smith, Tucker Carlson, and Cenk Uygur. We also tackle misinformation, the Iran conflict, and Manuel gives his perspective as a father who's son is deployed to the Middle East, and actively enforcing the blockade. We then wrap things up by discussing the California Governors race, Eric Swalwell's resignation, and the possible strategy of the Democrat Party.Manuel's Links:https://substack.com/@stretchgoose?utm_source=global-searchhttps://x.com/stretchgoosehttps://open.spotify.com/show/14aH4FtBiGN5U1ivSCP3FP?si=4a8e885847d646e3https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-manuel-fontes-show/id1884146364Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.
