00:00:00.000
The difference with Trump when he came out is, you know, Americans wanted closed borders.
00:00:14.640
Americans wanted those strong values and principles to be taking place.
00:00:31.580
And then, hey, we're sending all the bad people, the rapists, and da, da, da, da, da, da.
00:00:37.080
So then they're like, that's what we're looking for.
00:00:39.340
Today, Sesame Street puts a tweet up for Pride Month, okay?
00:00:50.360
Together, let's build a world where every person, da, da, da, da.
00:00:53.800
This right here, this tweet, on an account with 1.8 million views, 1.8 million followers.
00:01:04.560
How many retweets on likes do you think this got?
00:01:36.000
But I've heard you say, on the woke stuff, I'm not with it.
00:01:40.320
So imagine you're on the pulpit and you're saying, we have to put a stop to, you know,
00:01:51.540
Like, for example, I was just recently talking to Megyn Kelly about this.
00:01:59.680
So you remember the LGBTQ community, plus community?
00:02:14.820
And one of the things that people miss is that black folks in America, we've had to
00:02:22.080
accept coming out of the womb, whether it's right or not, this belief, you got to do twice
00:02:29.140
You're not going to necessarily be liked by everybody, et cetera, et cetera.
00:02:33.200
We were out for civil rights and civil liberties.
00:02:38.160
The society that we live in today, where they went too far, was trying to enforce embracement,
00:02:51.020
It's not enough for you to say, look, man, why are you holding them back?
00:02:58.280
It got to a point where if you didn't speak up and speak out and be full throttle in your
00:03:04.560
support for them and everything they wanted support for, you were anti.
00:03:20.360
If you have a relationship with somebody, okay, it ain't for somebody else to approve
00:03:30.880
But when you come and you want to compete, you want to transition from a man to a woman,
00:03:36.120
and you want to compete in women's sports, wait a minute.
00:03:41.300
It's about how fair is that to that young lady who was born a lady, who was born a woman,
00:03:51.960
To be 300 or 400th in the world as a man, as a swimmer, and that you transition to a woman
00:04:06.280
But how many issues are there that you care about?
00:04:10.000
And again, I'm not saying that, listen, Trump won the election.
00:04:22.260
Of course I'm going to have people that disapprove and play the numbers game.
00:04:28.200
So, for example, Rob, can you go on chat, GPT, and type in the following thing?
00:04:32.340
What are the top five most important issues for a Democratic voter in 2025?
00:04:35.700
What are the top five most important issues for a Democratic voter in 2025?
00:04:53.320
It's different than economic where you're thinking about.
00:04:57.420
Because you're not thinking about economic equality like Bernie Sanders and AOC.
00:05:01.020
That's not your – you're trying to get people, hey, I'm Stephen.
00:05:04.140
I came from nothing, and I made it to the top, right?
00:05:14.060
They don't relate to you, and you don't relate to them.
00:05:17.060
But centrist left, centrist left do relate to me.
00:05:30.540
It's the combination of what's going on on the left compared to how strong your candidate is in the right.
00:05:36.360
You got Steve Bannon out there trying to get Trump a third term.
00:05:40.100
I looked at him – I said, what's the affection and the affinity for Trump?
00:05:44.960
I said, Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance, along with a plethora of other candidates, are more than qualified, and they were governed along the same line as Trump.
00:06:02.860
And that once in a generation talent is now gone.
00:06:09.000
So because of that, that's where somebody else comes in, and they could steal votes from both sides of the aisle.
00:06:19.420
So what I'm going to do for you, I'm going to be in your ear, dog, for the next two years.
00:06:29.500
Because you're me two years ago, where I've been a Democrat my whole life.
00:06:36.880
I was, I loved, you know, Obama was all right, but he was better than McCain.
00:06:44.520
And when Trump showed up, I was like, hell to the no, no, no.
00:06:49.120
And 2020, I was, how much money did I make when I bet everybody that Trump was going to lose?
00:06:56.020
And now, how much do you joke about me being like the biggest MAGA guy now?
00:07:00.840
Like, we can disagree with something on Trump each other.
00:07:03.220
No, I think he's doing the right thing, you know.
00:07:09.800
But I'll still criticize him when he's doing wrong.
00:07:12.280
It's so liberating to vote for Trump and be like, all right, I agree with the positions.
00:07:25.920
Four years sitting in the wings looking at what's going on here.
00:07:28.840
Everything you said, brother, is my exact five.
00:07:32.260
The economy, the borders, safety, security, national security, defense, you know, peace
00:07:37.640
Not basically being an ostrich head in the sand.
00:08:23.820
And they don't like the fact that their individual choices in their eyes have been compromised.
00:08:29.740
And so, again, I'm not for abortion, but I'm not for telling a woman what to do with her body.
00:08:36.100
I'm not saying it's a top five priority, but that's just how I feel.
00:08:42.560
FYI, Planned Parenthood was built to minimize the amount of African-Americans having-
00:08:58.360
Number two, I used to argue with Democrats all the time because I thought they were swinging
00:09:10.320
And I don't know if I'll ever support them again.
00:09:17.440
Now, I don't want to be disrespectful to any specific individual Democrats.
00:09:20.740
I like Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania.
00:09:31.400
He's somebody, if you haven't had him on here, you should get him on here.
00:09:40.460
And I'm going to tell him he needs to talk to you.
00:09:42.860
These are guys that are more qualified than me, obviously.
00:09:50.460
I had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Cuomo.
00:09:54.100
It always rubbed me the wrong way when he was thrown.
00:09:57.520
And I know that he messed up with the nursing home stuff.
00:09:59.680
But it always messed with me that these cases were thrown against him.
00:10:05.240
And the second he was out of office, you didn't hear nothing about it.
00:10:10.160
Because I was like, so the objective was to get him out of office.
00:10:13.240
And like you pointed out, and I'm saying to you, I'm a guy that believes those people, that infrastructure that needs to be burnt down because they're hurting our country.
00:10:27.640
Because they're not letting and abiding by the wishes of the American people.
00:10:32.880
They're telling you who they want and compelling folks on their side to pick their candidate.
00:10:41.500
So if that is going to lead me towards, okay, look, look at how you feel.
00:10:47.440
I'm not going to oppose that because I'm not beyond voting for a Republican.
00:10:52.240
I didn't say, I might have disagreed with you on that one point you would make it about me.
00:10:57.080
There's a lot of stuff you've said, Vinny, I totally agree with.
00:11:07.720
Sean Hannity and I have known each other for 23 years.
00:11:13.880
But I'd be lying to you to say if I said I was more right than wrong.
00:11:25.640
And then I'm dealing with a dude that's just a veteran that's been on Fox News for 25 years.
00:11:35.780
Mark Levin and I have known each other for 20 years.
00:11:43.740
But my respect for their knowledge and their positions and why they have those positions are hard to dispute.
00:11:55.640
But let Sean Hannity try to show up on first take.
00:12:06.980
And I know, so Steve, and by the way, I know we said it.
00:12:10.940
It was one thing, and it wasn't about what I'm talking about.
00:12:13.220
When you said, I don't give a shit, well, you give a shit at all.
00:12:21.380
Somebody like you that would run for a president, that's the type of person.
00:12:25.420
Because all the stuff that you listed, that you were saying in the beginning, that's Trump
00:12:30.100
Come in, to hell with everybody, want to make change and do everything.
00:12:32.860
The only concern is that same infrastructure, those same people that had like a Trump that
00:12:38.980
to me would be like what you would come in as, they would destroy you with what he's
00:12:44.800
Anybody that comes in that tries to change their status quo, Stephen, they try to destroy
00:12:53.280
Somebody like you that's going to try to come in with them, they're going to look at you
00:12:56.160
and be like, who the, they will find anything that they can and do everything.
00:13:01.260
And I'm going to go there, look at all the ones that actually try to make a change.
00:13:06.680
JFK, Reagan, Trump, they don't like people like you.
00:13:11.280
You go in there, and I know that you give a damn about this country.
00:13:14.620
I know for a fact, Stephen A. Smith, you are an American, you love this place.
00:13:19.180
I don't mean we can go back and forth and argue, but I agree with you more than I disagree
00:13:23.140
But this system that just tried to destroy and kill Trump would go after you the same
00:13:30.320
way that they went after, especially that party.
00:13:40.180
And what they did in South Carolina, they changed the rules and pulled it out from under
00:13:44.720
Even with your voice, even if all the places you can go and your wonderful Republican positions
00:13:48.820
here, even where you, what do you do when they flip the switch?
00:13:55.380
Like what they did to Bernie in South Carolina.
00:13:57.780
If they decide, no, no, no, you're not, you're not, you're not our establishment.
00:14:01.640
I don't know the answer to that question because I can't imagine that you're just going to
00:14:05.860
switch, you're going to flip the switch and you're going to get away with that with me,
00:14:08.960
with the army of individuals that I have bringing us.
00:14:11.480
When I talk about bringing a tsunami, I'm not talking about me, just myself.
00:14:14.700
You know, you make a lot of connections and friends in this business.
00:14:17.820
You know, the industry that I'm in, which is the fourth estate, which I've been a part
00:14:21.960
I'm talking about that kind of tsunami because you got to remember, it's all about public perception
00:14:26.840
And you're going to have to deal with that reality because you're going to have a voice, but
00:14:30.220
I'm going to have a louder voice and I'm going to come down upon you to get to your
00:14:36.580
And I think that we got a lot of problems in this country and I blame most of it on the
00:14:41.400
politicians because I think they make a concerted effort to divide us.
00:14:44.860
And I think that the friction that we have in our communities throughout this country,
00:14:48.960
amongst people and all of that stuff, if we all got together, you'd find that we have
00:14:54.940
You'd find that we can get along a lot easier than people would want to believe.
00:14:59.040
But because of policies that they put in place and how they go about the business of
00:15:04.140
adroitly engaging in division to keep us all divided so they could have their cliques
00:15:09.980
supporting them and or somebody supporting the other side, it's really contributed to
00:15:17.880
And so when I look at it, I just say to myself, look, politics or no politics.
00:15:23.320
I'm the kind of person that like Sean Hannity holds me to this one.
00:15:26.320
You promise me every week you run it, you ever got an office, you're going to come on
00:15:38.240
If somebody like PVD is my guy, you think I'm not going to talk to him?
00:15:42.740
You think I'm not going to ask him what he's thinking about something?
00:15:45.000
You know, we got to get away from thinking that once in this binary system, that one side
00:15:56.100
Like I might listen, if if if if we're sitting around and we're talking about policies that
00:16:04.360
And we're talking about keeping peace in the streets.
00:16:09.160
But we're going to lean far more on what the right is, what the right side is, whatever
00:16:14.880
OK, and you might get you a little something, but they're going to get this something, too,
00:16:19.560
because the idea is better and it's better for America.
00:16:22.880
If we could pull that off, then we got a better country.
00:16:26.260
You got this big, beautiful bill that everybody's talking about.
00:16:32.440
What eight trillion committed pledge from companies and stuff like that?
00:16:37.980
You're talking about more drilling in this country.
00:16:39.880
You talk about a lot of different things that are going to benefit us.
00:16:42.160
But they're talking about it's going to contribute about another five trillion dollars potentially
00:16:47.640
Well, you can't find something that contributes less than five trillion dollars to the deficit
00:16:57.440
OK, you got millions of people that's going to be without health care.
00:17:00.380
You can't find a way to avoid there being millions of people without health care.
00:17:04.820
When you start asking these questions and dealing with stuff on a real level like that,
00:17:13.680
We don't have people that's thinking about what's best because they're on Capitol Hill.
00:17:17.080
And you got lobbyists in their face trying to get them to do their bidding.
00:17:21.220
And people are capitulating to that because they've turned it into a career.
00:17:24.680
If you already got one and you're making money and you surround yourself with people whose
00:17:29.060
ideas are about doing what's in the best interest of America, you might have a chance.
00:17:33.040
And by the way, you know, the best ideas will win.
00:17:38.220
During COVID, a lot of leftist ideas got exposed in a major, major way.
00:17:45.040
OK, for those of you that believe the future looks bright and you go to the gym and you
00:17:49.520
want to sport the gear and be part of the community that represents future looks bright.
00:17:55.240
Athletic wear of future looks bright with our models.
00:18:07.540
