Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well guys.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
According to the Black Information Network, ESPN personality stephen A.
Smith says he's now open to running for president after
previously dismissing the idea. Stephen A took to x that's
formerly Twitter, of course, to share that he's weighing a
twenty twenty eight presidential bid. He says, quote, it is
time to stop messing around. Life is great, especially at

(00:23):
ESPN slash Disney. Hate the thought of being a politician,
but sick of this mess. So I'm officially leaving all
doors open end quote. In addition, during a recent interview
at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, steven A said, quote,
I've been approached by people on Capitol Hill. I've been

(00:45):
approached by people who are elected officials in office, whether
it's governors or mayors or what have you. People have
legitimately seriously asked me about it. And while he is
reluctant to quote be a politician, they said, if the
country remains an absolute mess after the twenty twenty six
mid terms, he will consider running.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Period.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
All right, First of all, let me let me let
me help you understand a couple of things. The country
is going to be a mess after the twenty twenty
six mid terms. The country's in a complete mess right now?
Number two? Who is asking you to be the president? Next? Next? Next?

voting for you?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
You wouldn't vote for Lebron number five, number five or Brice.
Here's here's here's another thing. You have to be careful
when you're dealing with politics because super PACs is smart.
They will send somebody to talk to you, acting like

(02:11):
his interest, just to draw you in as a distraction
and to take away from votes from a real candidate.
That happens all the time. They backed people all the time.
That's why they put herschel Walker up. Let me just
give you a prime exam. You know they dug him

(02:34):
up just to put him in there to run against somebody,
to be a distraction. It's crazy, man. And I just look,
steven A and I are cool, but bro for him.
See I mean, look, I would vote for him over

to be his VP.
