1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:00,720
Speaker 1: Well guys.

2
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: According to the Black Information Network, ESPN personality stephen A.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: Smith says he's now open to running for president after

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 2: previously dismissing the idea. Stephen A took to x that's

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: formerly Twitter, of course, to share that he's weighing a

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight presidential bid. He says, quote, it is

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: time to stop messing around. Life is great, especially at

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: ESPN slash Disney. Hate the thought of being a politician,

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: but sick of this mess. So I'm officially leaving all

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: doors open end quote. In addition, during a recent interview

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, steven A said, quote,

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: I've been approached by people on Capitol Hill. I've been

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: approached by people who are elected officials in office, whether

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: it's governors or mayors or what have you. People have

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: legitimately seriously asked me about it. And while he is

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: reluctant to quote be a politician, they said, if the

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: country remains an absolute mess after the twenty twenty six

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: mid terms, he will consider running.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Period.

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: All right, First of all, let me let me let

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: me help you understand a couple of things. The country

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 3: is going to be a mess after the twenty twenty

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: six mid terms. The country's in a complete mess right now?

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: Number two? Who is asking you to be the president? Next? Next? Next?

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: Do you have any idea what it is to raise

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: money for a campaign? Thirdly, you do know you will

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: have to give up your lucrative contract at ESPN at Disney.

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: You do know that, don't you? Number four? Who is

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: voting for you?

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Leron?

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: You wouldn't vote for Lebron number five, number five or Brice.

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Here's here's here's another thing. You have to be careful

33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: when you're dealing with politics because super PACs is smart.

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: They will send somebody to talk to you, acting like

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: his interest, just to draw you in as a distraction

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: and to take away from votes from a real candidate.

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 3: That happens all the time. They backed people all the time.

38
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: That's why they put herschel Walker up. Let me just

39
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: give you a prime exam. You know they dug him

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: up just to put him in there to run against somebody,

41
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: to be a distraction. It's crazy, man. And I just look,

42
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: steven A and I are cool, but bro for him.

43
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: See I mean, look, I would vote for him over

44
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: over Advance. I would vote for him over Ted cr

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: Ruse of course, Yeah, be his VP. I'm not fit

46
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,480
