he's also the host of "the stephen a. smith> yeah, i know. they can't stop talking about me. what's wrong with these people? [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: because you're good. because you're good, that's why, that's why they have to talk to about you. but i want to show everybody this. headlines here, "stephen a. smith for president." [ cheers and applause ] "could stephen a. smith save the democratic party?" >> yeah. >> jimmy: i mean, what's going on? what does this mean? >> folks are nuts, number one. [ light laughter ] number two, you knknow, i me, the democratic party, i mean, they're lost. they had a bad few months. we all know this. and even though there's a lot of qualified democrats all over the country from a local perspective -- governors, mayors, stuff like that -- there's no real national voice. enter moi. they've come to me. [ laughter ] and so, i mean, i did not ask for this. i don't want this. i happen to have a very, very, very good life, very good job. i'm good, very good. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes, i know. >>

. >> okay, it's stephen a smith. yes. >> yes, that is stephen a smith.ger question who did he offend this week? >> i don't follow sports that much, so i'm pretty excited to know this because i saw it recently and he offended lebron james. >> points for lauri. >> yes our greatest football player. >> lebron stephen a smith offended lebron james when he said this about lebron's son back in january. on espn's first take. >> i am pleading with lebron james as a father. we all know that bronny james is in the nba because of his dad. we know that he's not ready yet. >> now you would think after stephen a smith said that he would just chill out. but the next day on his youtube show, he went on to say more. >> we got to be real about what we're seeing. i am not a person that had a problem with bronny james being on the court for the season opener with lebron james, my position has always been that should have been the only moment we saw bronny james in a lakers uniform this season, because he's not ready. >> alex isn't ready, but we let him on the. >> show. >> i

stephen a smith is well within his rights to criticize this. number three. and i just want to make a political point. if stephen a smith expects to be the president of the united states, which it sounds like he does expect to be, that someday he's going to have to tighten up and toughen up a little bit. when i heard him talk about this this morning, i heard someone who had been backed down a little bit, who had been sort of cowed a little bit by lebron james brother. if you run for president or become the president, you're going to have a lot tougher conversations with a lot more important people. so toughen up and stand by your criticism. but i think in this case, lebron james huge baby, huge baby. >> carrie. he's not a baby. he is a father. and that was his reaction as a father. scott, i'd like to see if any of your kids ever make it to any type of professional level of sport, and they are being criticized. you would feel a way. that's just a fact. you can't deny that. secondly, stephen isn't a baby. i'm not defending stephen a but what he's saying is i hav

stephen a. smith i'm the old later it is true we don't have a great leader at this time.own, i wasn't supportive of 2018, 2019, i would not support that today. i would say the democrats should fight on trying to do a one-year continuing resolution. 3-6 months would make more sense. as far as the leader of the party it is tough. like i said i think we should go to town hall to make it local and really speak truth to what we think is going wrong with d.o.g.e and other things that president trump is trying to put forward it. >> like a bad football team where they immediately go out and say it is a rebuilding process. >> if stephen a. smith wants to run for president as a democrat i will run for president as a republican and i will beat him in 40 states. i would feel bad for him. i would wipe the floor with him worse than the lakers went to the maps with the floor when they traded lucas and got davis back for the injury. stephen a. smith the chicago bears and i would be the philadelphia eagles. it would be an ugly look for him i welcome him into the political arena. >> the la

i don't think that there's any type of real for, for instance, stephen a smith intellectual curiosity and talk to candace owens. i've had my issues with candace owens. but, you know, people are different. if i'm talking to candace owens, unlike stephen a smith, i'm not going to wait to the next interview. i'm going to get all of these things that i've had a problem. you know, that i've had an issue with with candace owens. i'm going to talk about it on that day, because otherwise you're just kind of letting her and charlie kirk, the guy who literally just said, charlie kirk, the guy who last fall said that, well, you know what? when i see a black pilot now. >> exactly. >> i am going to automatically think that they're unqualified. this is the same charlie kirk. so one thing to platform him, but i think this is all for clicks. >> we got to go. but i will just note that tonight he described newsom as inauthentic. essentially he said it was purely this was charlie kirk. he's describing his conversation with gavin newsom. he said it was purely transactional. so i'm not. >> sure that the g

stephen a. smith who i love was spitting truth.never getting invited back because they did not want to hear what he had to save your democrats are opposing trump on 80/20 issues. shot down the bill that would have -- is democracy really on the ballot? no, because they are ignoring the will of the people. >> sandra: thanks again for having me on your show. it was seriously fun. therapeutic. >> it was a good hang, right? that is why you come. >> sandra: come back any time. john. >> john: all right, the mystery grows after the deaths of gene hackman and his wife at their new mexico home. how investigators are shifting their focus and why it may take their focus and why it may take weeks for more answers. that coming up next. without lea? it's like all their apps and channels... are connected. oh, it's allll connected... shows, movies, sports, cooking shows. — oh my god cooking shows! — is she talkin' to us? tell me, how does directv put all your favorite stuff on one home screen? uncanny content suggestions based on your watch history

been saved. >> back now withrge: back now wh stephen a. smith of the espn. s the governor of new york, for a start, trying to make a political comeback. what was your impression? >> my impression is he is ready. obviously he was a governor for the state of new york and his mentality is he knows how to get things done. there is a lot in new york city that needs to get done, affordable housing, safety in the streets, anything that you want to do, that you want to accomplish, it starts with safety in the streets because if that is compromised, everything is compromised. >> george: forced out after questions and his personal conduct. let's take a look. >> is what you are saying -- or what the voters say, i'm worried about new york, i think the city is in trouble, i'm anxious. i'm anxious about the subways, about the crime, about the homeless, mentally ill on the streets. i'm anxious that there is no affordable housing. i cannot afford to live here. i'm getting priced out of new york. i need someone who can actually get something done. i'm tired of these politicia

and maybe it's stephen a smith. okay, at least in the near term. >> perhaps that's out. >> there, but you're going to need steph curry as well and a whole bunch of others. you're going to need the golden state warriors to help you. if you're the democrats send a message because they don't have one right now. >> you know, it's interesting. >> that you bring up stephen a smith because he says the reason why they're there, my name is being tossed around. and why i'm being mentioned is because there's no one else. democrats, you need to get your things together and really, really rally behind a viable candidate. >> he's the bridge for now. he's not the bridge to later. >> maybe not. >> all right. >> david, thank you. >> we appreciate it very much. od to se dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won

stephen a. smith has been a huge liberal for such a long time and now he's saying hold on.or harris because i'm realizing after-the-fact how much we have been lied to by the democratic party. he considers himself centrist but him coming out and saying things like that shows how the tide is shifting. it's not trump voters who were regretting things it's at the harris voters who wish they went into the opposite direction. >> greg: kamala harris regrets voting for kamala harris. terry i think the amazing thing about this it's not just transparent but spontaneous. for democrats everything has to be organized and completely choreographed the biden presidency. they can't keep up with it. >> everybody sitting here has relatives or friends or family or neighbors. trump broke them. and he broke them in 2016. when obama left office that dude was in my rearview. i don't think about them. if these on tv okay. but i don't think about obama. 's fingerprints or over the previous administration and did damage to the country but i don't spend time. they never got over the first trump thing

there is stephen a. smith is a sports guy for espn is more being talked about right now sounding like common sense than any other candidate they have today. they are voting for preventing boys from competing in women's sports and they voted 45-51. even think about the democrats who are sitting there, they want to vote democrat because their parents were for jfk, their parents were for hey we are going to land on the moon, their parents were all about what kennedys were. they are sitting there saying honey, what are we talking about right now. the democrats still want boys to compete in women's sports. i thought the democrats were for women. i thought they were for no war. why do we still want to fund zelenskyy? what happened to the democratic party? i hope they do exactly what they are saying they are going to be doing to try to disrupt, to make it difficult, to try to agitate. i hope they do that because it shows so much weakness. i can't wait for them to do it because they are so predictable. >> jesse: the p

listen here to stephen a. smith. >> the man won every swing state. increased the vote of black and latinos and young voters. 89% of the county shifted to the right. that's a mandate. >> he does not have a mandate. he won with the smallest margin of the popular vote since the 19th century. he's on his way in the first 100 days to be the most unpopular president in their first 100 days. that's not a mandate. >> dana: did you hear the uh-huh, yeah. >> jeanine: you know, dana, it's stunning. i'm so glad she's not in the press office anymore. we don't have to listen to the gas lighting anymore. that is a perfect exampling of the gas lighting that we heard for four years. the man -- president trump not only has a mandate, 70% of americans believe that he's a man of his word. why? because he's doing exactly what he said he was going to do. and 83% of americans who voted for him believe that 56% wanted substantial change, 27% wanted upheaval. so a total of 83% wanted a change in this country and now we have donald trump. so what karine has to say is irrelevan

and mark cuban and sports commentators stephen a. smith, one of the smallest ever. he won the general election by less than 50%. what kind of mandate is this really? it is a mandate and i will explain why. i don't mind the question but let me be clear. i'm not a supporter of trump but the truths and the facts. the fax is the man won every swing state any increased his voter turnout in his paper from the standpoint of blacks, latinos, young voters. he increased his numbers in that regard from 2020. 89% of the counties shifted to the right. that is a mandate! the man won every swing state and 89% of the county shifted. i don't understand how people can look at that and say there is no mandate! there is a mandate! >> kayleigh: emily, i wonder how joy behar found about a fact bomb dropped on her head. [laughs] >> emily: words never spoken on that set clearly. you mentioned mark cuban and he had an interesting interview and they talked about the democratic strategy. i thought firsthand and what i realized is the democrats, they will call in a s

one of them is a friend of ours, stephen a. smith, right?as on "the view" to try to get them and he says i'm not here supporting trump but i am supporting the truth. let me tell you what he has 80 9% he starts going to the numbers, 89% of counties, all of the states, everything. he is doing something they don't like and he can't be controlled to. gavin newsom does a podcast with charlie kirk and opened by asking the question what do you think the democratic party need to do to improve? he is not doing that because the democratic party told him to do that i think a part of him is... don't get me wrong of it a part of it is destruction he doesn't want people thinking about the fire so he is bringing people out to say going to be independent. but they need disruption to. 21% the house is there approval rating on the left. 21% is there approval rating. this is by far the most embarrassing moment for the democratic party i have seen in my lifetime. >> will: you can see on the screen 21% approval rating for democratic members of congress are. we a

. >> rule to everyone who's been stopping me lately and asking bill if by some weird fluke, stephen a smith run for president. who are we going to get? well, i'm going to tell you. but first, a word from common sense. the the democratic party's current approval rating is 21%, which is only slightly more popular than kanye's swastika shirts. maybe that's why, according to a new gallup poll, 45% of democrats want the party to move to the center, which is up 11 points from four years ago. now, whenever a political party finds a real star president, the other side always says, well, we have to find our bill clinton, our reagan, our obama. well, the democrats need to find their trump, not the authoritarian part, but the part where a politician bonds with every day americans because he talks like them. and the. the good news for democrats is they have that guy and his name is john fetterman. >> yeah, yeah, you. after the. >> election, instead of curling up in a ball. fetterman went to mar-a-lago, where trump assumed he was one of the guys from january 6th. and afterwards, trump said he's not libe

a lawyer down there. tell me about the stephen smith death that was like you're passing a car crash on the road. you know, it's bad. you know something's wrong, but you don't want to stop down and look, you don't want to get caught up in it because the rumor from the beginning that the murdochs were somehow involved, but separately, that to the incestuous question, i have the most amazing family tree. the most amazing family tree. and like when we talk about cousin eddie on the side of the road, the drug dealer, cousin eddie jahi, he is a cousin. he really is. if you go back to alec murdock's great grandfather started the law firm his father desire, putnam murdock was one of the founders of of hampton county. he was an in the confederate army. he was with lee at chapman. he and he his brother was lazarus. and lazarus was no. i mean, in those days you all the secessionists were there, their home was that area lazarus murdock was a fire eater. he was well known to president lincoln at the time because he would give these crazy speeches i'm sorry, completely virulent racist speeches out on literall

he should google yesterday's -- stephen smith defined what a mandate was. it was a mandate. the prime minister of greenland should put it to a vote to his people to see if they want to become u.s. citizens. lastly, i was a democrat for 45 years. i'm ashamed of the democratic party. none of them people could stand up and applaud for the young kid that's been through brain surgery or the family that took in 40 foster children, they are heartless. these people are heartless. if they don't get a clue, republicans are going to rule for 25, 30 years. i hope the dems come around and help president trump. host: deborah in pennsylvania on the democrats line. caller: hello. i have a couple of comments. i would like to say as a democrat i'm willing to give trump a chance, because he is try to clean things up. i agree with a few of the things he brought up, like the laken riley act. the transgender athlete thing. i know they should be trying to clean everything up. there is too much waste. but going in and chopping every thing up before they actually get in and identify exactly where th
