## Resource

My Guest Jesse Rucinski and I discuss the SAVE Act, and why there is even opposition to passing a bill that requires ID and proof of citizenship to vote in Federal Elections. We then discuss Bad Bunny and his Super Bowl performance which leaves u asking what is culture and what culture was represented by Bad Bunny on the world stage during a very American sport and pastime.We then ask when it's appropriate for U.S. Olympians to offer their political opinions while representing the USA.I read a news article that states the USA is heading towards authoritarianism, and we offer our insights and opinions on the matter.Subscribe to Ground News using my link and save 40%!!!https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=worldablazeSupport 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.
