Episode 373 | Live From America Podcast Should sports be political? Andrew Heaton joins Live From America to debate the Super Bowl controversy and America’s growing identity divide. From celebrity activism to the Epstein files, we explore tribalism, immigration, elite accountability, and whether the country is more united or divided than ever. Comedian, writer, and Political Orphanage host Andrew Heaton sits down with Hatem Gabr and Noam Dworman for a wide-ranging conversation on American identity, sports and politics, media-driven outrage, and cultural division. The episode begins with a debate over the Super Bowl halftime show and whether sports should remain separate from politics. Andrew argues that Americans need cultural spaces where people can come together outside of partisan conflict — while examining how politicians and media outlets amplify division for power and ratings. From Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling to Bud Light backlash, from Billie Eilish’s Grammy comments to immigration policy, the conversation explores how cultural flashpoints become political battlegrounds — and whether that’s healthy for a functioning democracy. The discussion then shifts to the Epstein files, elite accountability, and the controversial behavior of powerful figures including Elon Musk. Are America’s political and economic elites insulated from consequences? And what does that mean for public trust? Topics Covered: Should sports and politics mix? Super Bowl controversy and cultural symbolism Tribalism and media outrage culture Immigration and American identity Celebrity activism: meaningful or performative?
