  • Racist

    Just another anti white race hustler that loves the jews that want him as a slave. Low Iq and loud about stuff he doesn’t understand. Typical of his “kind”.

  • My Lord, what gibberish. Smith claims to be neutral, unbiased, and well-informed. That couldn't be further from the truth. It is painful to listen to someone so ignorant on so many things. Speak so confidently and loudly on topics. He knows almost nothing about. He's just talking loud and saying nothing. Quite honestly you can tell he's getting paid a lot of money and that's his motivation. Don't waste your time. Stephen A is a fraud.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CHAOS IN AMERICA; DONAVAN MCKINNEY (D-MI), CORBIN TRENT
Q: What should Democrats stop and start talking about to win back working-class voters?
Stop emphasizing corporate favors and start focusing on getting money out of politics, re-centering policy on wage growth, affordable living, and practical steps to lower everyday costs.
CHAOS IN AMERICA; DONAVAN MCKINNEY (D-MI), CORBIN TRENT
Q: Why are you moving from the 11th District to the 13th District in Michigan, and what would that shift mean for you?
The move aims to represent one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation, with a focus on affordability and delivering resources back to the community; the incumbent has been delivering less, so the shift would enable more direct impact through federal representation and funding for local needs.
THE IRAN WAR; TIM BURCHETT (R-TN)
Q: What are your thoughts on the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president?
Burchett argues that while impeachment talks are political theater, there needs to be serious consideration about fitness for office, but he believes using the 25th Amendment is unlikely and undesirable, and he emphasizes practical leadership and constitutional process over dramatic removal.
THE IRAN WAR; FAREED ZAKARIA, LUTHER “UNCLE LUKE” CAMPBELL
Q: How big of a deal is it that Trump didn't go through Congress to authorize this action?
Zakaria notes that presidents often proceed without explicit declarations of war, while acknowledging the constitutional debate and the importance of congressional involvement for legitimacy; the situation mirrors historical precedents but lacks clear, unified authorization.
TRUMP HURTING THE GOP; KEVIN KILEY, MATTHEW WEIL
Q: What was the breaking point that led you to switch parties?
Kiley explains that the redistricting wars and the overall partisan environment pushed him to become independent, hoping to model a more issue-focused, constituent-centered approach rather than pure party allegiance.
