This episode is the second part of Freedom to Speak. We go in-depth on the freedom of the press, the freedom to protest, and the freedom of religion.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

• Fact check: Luchi was convinced that the school spending in our district was $500 billion but it was $500 million.

Episode three focuses on an ongoing battle today in America: the war on drugs. We discuss the history of the war on drugs in the United States, the solutions America has tried to reduce drug usage, and lastly, our solutions on the matter.

Please join us today as we talk about the border. This is a very controversial subject with no viable solution. The future of America relies on the safety of its people. No American is left behind.

Quick disclaimer and apology: When Alex was talking about the number of migrants crossing into the United States, he was factually incorrect by a fact mix-up. The number of migrants entering the United States is over 2 million. We strive for creditability and are deeply sorry for being wrong on that statistic.

For granted is episode one of an ongoing series on America. We discuss our lives and how our parents came here to the USA. Today, many people take for granted what America gives them. We want to express our sights on America and showcase the opportunities that the USA has to offer.

This is the Sights on Podcast introduction with Alex Shvartz and Luchiano Fernando. Our journey starts here. We want to give our values and experiences and hope to provide our sights on the world. Stay tuned for our discussions and topics. Sights on!
