AF-fluent. Come on Stephen! If you’re running for Prez we don’t want another prez mangling the English language lol (Hey, you’re 100x smarter than agent orange) but you have to stop saying that word incorrectly. Either way if you run, you’ve got my vote.

Dude set-up this interview just to plant the idea in potential voters minds that he's a viable candidate. And based on the comments, many of you are falling for it hook line and sinker... He's attempting to be the moderate version of Trump. The truth of the matter is that a guy like him is the last thing Americans need in the White House. Haven't we learned our lesson here?
More User Perspectives
He have more qualifications than Obama ever had
@leonbui7158If he gets married soon he’s going to run
@DoubleR7769Talking loud and saying nothing that will help black people right leaning never leans towards helping black people!
@esercyethis interview is a prelude to his bid for presidency
@MidnightTracksDamn! I've never met a man more in love with his mother. No wonder he's not married!! 😂
@Shaun-q4e1dA paid shill
@ahmorganVery talented and smart. Wish you would try to run as independent!
@nathanielking4464Great interview and I know for sure Mama has a big smile on her face and in her heart how her son has carried himself and stands on business. Keep moving forward Stephen A and l know you would make an awesome
President and l stand with your Mom don"t do keep your freedom and keep doing what you are doing.
Stephen A, I'd bet you that the majority of Trump and Obama voters would vote for you in 2028.
@dominicmesserly7489Two men in a row that come from outside the political arena that realize America is in a pivotal, critical, state. Wake up Washington!
@JeremyShumansThey really want him to be a serious contender against Newsom 🥲💔 thank goodness we’re going with moderates like this and “Biden” and “Hillary” so that we can make sure we don’t get too extreme and can choose a winnable candidate. Oh wait….
@beausandovalthomasSAS would be interesting to watch on the debate stage
I think the people that have very negative things to say about him are just angry about the things he’d say about VP Harris. Which were fair arguments. Give the man a chance. Nobody knows what policies he’ll bring to the table foreign and domestic.
Idk if he’ll make it far enough to represent the Democratic Party but as an independent I’m willing to listen to the man.
VP Vance is also starting to grow on me. I’d also like to see gov Shapiro throw his hat in the race as well. Want to hear what that man has to say for sure. May the best person win 2028🙏
Stephen Anthony Smith would be a tyrannical president. Far worse than Trump. He’s wayyyy too egotistical, boastful, & he has a complete GOD complex in which I find appalling, embarrassing, & he’s an utter sell out to melanated individuals everywhere.
@FLiP_424I like a guy who says what he thinks, no matter what. I like Stephen A Smith. Damn few politicians are truthful.
@paulchapman1933BORDER NEEDED TO BE CLOSE...AMERICANS NEED HOUSING AND JOBS
@factstruth8007Is he really tryna run? 😂
@robinhoodhustsle1356https://youtube.com/shorts/x2BnvqVzgws?si=Tioj9vSBqI-p5LqG😂😂😂
@donroyster8692This dude really thinks he's important to our world. Wtf cares about your mom and your therapy. This is why I dnt watch the news and these stupid gossip segments.
@jaydontez5733Look what Trump did !? Now we got EGOMANIACS wanna be president! God help us 🙏! How about a platform of positions first?
@jeremiahallender1919His voice is needed on the Democratic primary stage. Dems are still too crazy and weird.
@SageTrader007This is sad because now everyone including this idiot thinks that he can become president and what’s really really sad is that he can. Rip America and btw thanks clown Trump.😅😅😅
@knowendsports84I voted for Trump’s in 2016. I voted for Biden in 2020 and I voted for Trump in 2024. And I’m currently not very happy with this administration. I am the definition of a swing voter. Stephen A would not have a hard time earning my vote
@mynameisnunyobuisnesIt’s unfortunate the interviewer was involved in this interview.
@kennethrobinson7647Grab the brass ring!
@aedelusI called he was gonna run pretty much as soon as he started talking about politics. The man just makes sense. I think he'll only do it this time if he feels there's not a strong enough candidate. But so far there's not really. I hope Fetterman runs.
@charleshessproductionsSmith seems more like a Republican than a Democrat, presenting a centrist ideology. In my view, he's the only one who can challenge the current scene. However, the real question is whether he can hold his own in the dirty world of politics, where shady tactics and secrets are bound to surface eventually.
@LenPhillPlease quit wasting people's time no, anybody feels that they can run for President with no political experience.Just because donald trump did this is a waste of time.I'm not saying don't ever go after your dreams but you have to ask yourself, what are the reasons Steven a wants to run for President?Is it to genuinely help the people?And I say , no , it's not , it's an ego thing
@CourtneyMiller-ui8xp"This" version , measured, personable, and quietly confidant, of Steven Smith could carry the flailing, obscene, unintelligent, inexperienced, criminally negligent, cache of characters-- who ostensibly do not and have proven such, qualify to compete in the democratic primary in 2028........SaS, I'm available for contracted consulting collaboration.
@gregoryhart-q6pWhat a Momma's boy. How Sweet!
@andilan200Great interview. I'm listening. Steven A..
@VictorArteagaJrWhat about your acting?
@edwinarowan962Never say Never
@edwinarowan962All we want is someone who does what they say they are going to do with the American interests at heart. Seems like American politics became more of “how can I benefit myself” with career politicians and such.
@nreyes6348How would Mom feel about you running or being president. Politics could change you in ways she may not like.
@edwinarowan962I hope this starts a new trend, more and more non career politicians putting their hat in the ring for presidency. I hate the us vs them stuff.
@jroderiguesHis ego exceeds his brainpower.
@Edwardnewgate0101“Well I’ma say this…..I ain’t backing down from nobody out here you understand that!? Cause I judge the Cowboys! I dictate player salaries!!! AND WE GET ALL THAT!”
@BarthBennett-qv5kyWhat is he reading from?
@di5stargeneralPlease Please Run for President… He would win easily.
@willmarteI’m not voting for an UNMARRIED TWO TIME BABY DADDY, hasn’t America been embarrassed enough by Donald Trump and his horrible lifestyle?
@TrustInGod59Dudes pouring his heart out and getting interrupted smh 4:12
@NFLWithKyleMax Kellerman needs to run for POTUS😂
@zee9erthis is what yall did with trump, entertaining this BS.
@PurplecatguyhairStephen A is a Total joke! This guy really think this country would vote him in as president!!!!?.. This guy can't even hold his own against Skip Bayless, so how does he think he could handle real national and worldwide problems and be taken seriously
