Lol , this man went to jail twice and one time for marijuana but was giving chances to redeem himself but at the same time want to not give other young men a chance to redeem himself who has the same charges. SMH
I am a 63 year old white conservative male. Stephen A. I don't agree with a lot of your views, but I love your passion and willingness to bring on people like Congressman Donalds and other conservatives. THANK YOU for having he intelligence and common sense to bring in all perspectives so we can all LISTEN to each other. Bravo! And it probably sounds crazy, but while I was listening to you, I thought, how cool would it be for you and Trump to have a sit-down. I think it's gonna happen and I cannot wait. You are amazing.
He's probably the best of the center-left. A liberal man that recognized the Progressives are becoming less liberal. Byron, on the other hand, is a very fine example of a liberal Conservative.
Agree. I am 76 and white and like Byron Donalds. Steven, I hope you know that democrats founded the klan and LBJ deliberately ruined the black family by giving mothers money As long as there was no fathers in the household.
NOT FAKE NEWS ,,,FAKE TALKING POINTS FROM BYRON DONALDS ,, (( HE BELIEVES THE GOP ) PARTY OF TRUMP.,,,😂 HOWEVER STEVEN A ,???? HE WAFFELS MORE THAN I HOP
I'm a conservative, and I enjoyed the interview. It was good. You allowed the Congressman to express himself. You did not talk over him. That was great. Thank you.
There is no history, practice, or provision in law for presidents to take official records with them when they leave office to sort through, such as for a two-year period as described in some reports. Under the Presidential Records Act (PRA), incumbent Presidents have exclusive responsibility for the custody and management of the Presidential records of their administration while in office.
This is awesome! Thank you, Stephen Smith for having him on your show! I appreciate your ability to at least listen to the other side of the aisle. And in today’s day and age in the media, that is very very far and few in between! Good on you, Stephen A.
Great conversation. Stephen A Smith, I applaud you for being open-minded and wanting to do your research. I think if all Americans did their research, a lot of people waking up and I think you're on your way there.
A SPORT COMMENTATOR TALKING ABOUT POLITICS WITH A MEMBER OF CONGRESS CANNOT GET MORE STUPID THAN THAT THIS IS FREAKING LAUGHABLE SMITH HAS NO CLUE ABOUT POLITICS HE HAS NEVER READ ABOUT THE RECORDS ACT. SMITH HAS NEVER READ ANY OF THE TRUMP INDICTMENTS BUT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION WTFFFFFFFFFFF
We need more of this. Glad to see people are having these conversations now. I guess better late than never. We are waking up to the real truth and the truth will set us free!
He was so calm . No jumping in, even though SAS hasn't 'gotten the memo' on a lot of stuff. 1.As to the Ga election,,DJT knew exactly how many ballots were questionable. The figures he quoted were the inappropriate ones - from the deceased,underage,out of district and non Americans. Why do people keep trying to forget this?? We saw the numbers he referenced. P.S. Ever since that election, there is a mountain of evidence that Trump won GA . And a lot of other states.
This was a very civil, articulate and SENSIBLE conversation. I'm not a BIG SAS fan but after hearing this interview, I have a new - found respect. Very respectful! Props SAS! This interview was excellent! God bless both these men.
One of the most civil and non bias and truthful conversations I have heard. Always loved Stephen as a sports reporter. He is always on point!! Byron is a certified intelligent..Good human being!!
Agreed….There are a lot of good speakers-but, very few who can speak knowledgeably, eloquently & powerfully off the cuff ( without a script) as he consistently does……That takes an extreme level of both focus & forethought that only a handful of very talented thinkers possess.
35 year white remale from ft.myers/naples area. As a large majority we love and fully support Byron Donald’s. He’s intelligent, down to earth, truthful, and cares about his community. He can frequently spot him out in the community. We are super proud to call him our representative and look forward to seeing him advance in his political career. I see great things for him and our country in the future.
If Byron doesn't get the VP nod, then I would like him to to have a large advisory capacity in the administration. He is knowledgeable and coherent. Like Vivek has had a lot of good things to say.
I agree with everyone! This was an interview that kept me glued to my seat. It was thoughtful and insightful. Much respect to you both, a pleasure to watch (and learn) from two fascinating men!!! Thank you!
I have never been a big fan of Stephen A Smith's, having said that this was a very surprisingly pleasant and cordial interview. Stephen A did an outstanding job. He asked excellent questions and unlike many interviewers he gave the interviewee plenty of time to answer without interruption. Excellent.
💯 u comment is exactly what I generally think of SAS but was very impressed with his yearning to learn & listen & BD was personable & direct & he's 💯 bout repub messaging & he explained it clearly
SAS is actually a trained, educated, professional journalist who worked as a beat reporter and worked his way up. His ESPN persona is just that…he talks about the “character” SAS.
This is the longest interview I’ve seen with Congressman Donalds. I’ve seen him in interviews and hearings before and he struck me as intelligent, straightforward and logical. Glad to see that’s still my impression. Currently very impressed with him and Vivek.
Yeah those are two rising stars in tht party and if republicans play it right they can be the in office for at least the next 12 yrs. Trump/Vivek 24 Vivek/Donald 28
Check out Anna Paulina Luna and Matt Gaetz. More future superstars in the GOP. It's so way past time to kick the likes of McConnell and Romney to the curb for trash pickup!
COME ON! VIVEK IS A PLAYER!! A POLITICIAN! BYRON DONALDS IS A GOOD PERSON THAT HAS THE QUALITIES THAT EVERYONE'S MOANING/GROANING BOT WANTING N A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PEOPLE! STOP JUST WATCHING TALKING HEADS, & DO UR OWN RESEARCH!! DONALDS THE BEST, RIGHT NOW 4 V.P.!! AND, HEAD TO HEAD, I BELIEVE, CAN DESTROY VIVEK & OTHERS!! WHICH MADE ME SIK AS THEY TRIED TO MIMIC T*U#M*P!! DONALDS IS WAT U C, IS WAT U GET!! TRUTH, INTEGRITY, HIS REAL SELF, & A THUMP ON THE HEAD IF U THINK U CAN WIN HIM N ANY DEBATE!!😂😂
I've been following this young man, Congress man Donalds, since he was elected. This country needs more young Americans who share in his values. He ALWAYS stays cool and calm under pressure. He's thoughtful, articulate and respectful. Watch how he always listens and waits for the other person to finish their thoughts without interrupting, before he speaks. He's fearless as far as going into any political arena and speaking a consistent message. Love this guy. I hope and pray he does great things for this country. But at least he's spreading the word.

1st time watching, Great choice for the show, He's my choice for VP. . .Up and coming Conservative, and he's doing a fine job! That man has conviction and don't back down!🥰
First time watching your program. I am a Naturalized Citizen who came here from Eastern Europe as a teenager. It was a shock to my system. I always wondered why America is so preoccupied with race?
Gotta respect Steven Smith for actually having a conversation with a smart Conservative. BTW, I'm 56, black immigrant Floridian, and huge Byron Donalds supporter.
Donalds is a supporter of Trump, the guy who tried to overthrow a democratic election. He is nothing more than a self-serving charlatan, and you're a gullible fool who is enabling authoritarianism.
Great interview, Stephen A. It was conducted with far more professionalism than what we see from many others. There were no rude interruptions or overtalking. Two professional gentlemen right there.
Stephen A. Ive been suoer skeptical of you in the past in some of your commentary. Bringing Rep Donalds on paints a very refreshing picture of you and definitely lets down my guard. Thank you sir for providing this man part of your platform. He is my favorite representative and im from PA
I 'll be a third timer too!!! I never liked him personally, but knew if anyone could get this country on the right track, it would be an International bizz man that couldn't be bought, wasn't darn lawyer, and loved this country!!! since you are black and also a woman, and voted from beginning for him, you are a rare bird indeed!
A great conversation. Informative and entertaining. To be honest, had to listen a second time, and did pick up things I missed. Thank you, Steve & Byron. I enjoyed every second of it.
Nice job, Stephen A. Way to interview. Byron Donalds is lights out awesome. He speaks articulately and balanced. Even though these are very controversial topics, the emotions were taken out.
@@LuisSilveira-c9m Consider the comments herein: he IS doing exactly what you are wishing forTruth coming out of his mouth every time he speaks will lead to success, just like a constantly flowing river erodes and breaks down huge boulders & rocks into sand.
Yessss, so hopefully now that Stephen is EDUCATED about this issue, we don't continue to hear it from his mouth. Absolutely love Donald's. If all politicians had values, common sense, and integrity like him,the country would be in a better place.
He is completely wrong and should read upon on Three-Fifths compromise(!) The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It dealt with the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted for the purposes of determining a state's population, which in turn influenced its representation in the House of Representatives and the distribution of taxes.Southern states wanted to count enslaved individuals as part of their population to increase their representation in Congress and thus have more political power. However, Northern states, where slavery was less prevalent, argued that slaves should not be counted since they were treated as property and did not have the rights of citizens. The compromise ultimately stated that for the purposes of representation and taxation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise effectively gave Southern states more political power in Congress than they would have had if only free individuals were counted, without granting enslaved individuals any political rights or freedom.
Stephen, i am a half puerto rican, quarter apache, quarter german= white dude from Delaware, i used to fix the a/c in the building you use for your shows when your in Philadelphia at video link, but never got to meet you,..just wanted to say that im a fellow Eagles fan, and always loved watching your shows w/Skip Bayliss and im honored that you are one of the voices of common sense these days!!!!❤❤
Hands down, one of the best "bipartisan" conversations I've heard. You guys clearly have some opposing views but regardless, you had a respectful and productive conversation. If the rest of the respective parties could engage in this manner, we would have a much more productive government, getting sht done for the American people. Lets get Stephen A in government, and Byron Donalds further up the chain. This is coming from 48yr old, white military veteran, just an everyday American trying to survive. I have lost all confidence in government but I can tell you this, watching this conversation gives me hope guys. We need more Americans like you leading the country and paving the way. Much respect to you both, thank you for putting this out there.
I happen to be off work today and found this interview, it was insightful and very informative. I dont agree with dude on a lot of his positions, but I respect how they were able to communicate and not scream at each other.
There was a time, only a couple of years ago, we all could have conversations in a civil manner. Much of the blame for people being divided is the main stream media. They attempt to sway opinions by adding adjectives instead of straight reporting. Now, they just tell you what you're supposed to think and how you should feel. Interviews like this one are sorely needed!
This episode needs way more views. We need more civil, informed and comprehensive conversations. I wish most elected members of congress were able to clearly articulate issues and speak to the public this way.
The problem with Byron, is he articulates himself very well with certain audiences like Stephen A Smith, but then when he gets among the group of Republicans he forgets to not play the political games, and participates in the lying etc. AOC called him out greatly for his lack of context and disingenuousness when he tried to talk badly about Hunter Biden. So it becomes misleading a lot of times, what you do behind closed doors are not interviews needs to be relatively the same for the public otherwise you have distrust and he gives a lot of that despite his intellect
Stephen A. in the end just wants to learn and ask the most potent questions. Major props for using your platform in a way that’s in the center of our polarized society
I’m enjoying this conversation. Smith is super respectful and listens. I also like how he asks his questions. And Byron is amazing. His banking and insurance background has helped him speak with authority in financial government matters. He knocks it out of the park.
Great interview! I love Byron Donalds- intelligent, and very wise for his age; excellent communicator, factual, speaks with compassion and speaks the truth. Thank you for your service and standing up for what’s right! God bless!
We need more blacks like Byron Donald'look around our neighborhoods what do you see? I see people that don't look like me and Townhouses we can't afford that has been bought and built by investors from other countries and we still vote Democrat 🥱
Donalds presented Misinformation at the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry: he was exposed during the hearing for his bogus hunter Biden text message. He's skumm
This young congressman will have a bright future.....leading this great country to be greatest place to live on earth called America 🇺🇸....taking care of your wallets with limited government involvement...i am an Vietnamese American businessman...hated to see so much goverment regulation killing business.....
I am a 76 year old conservative going all the way back to Barry Goldwater and Ronald Regan. I have watched you on cable TV for many years. What I particularly like about you is your intelligence which is on display at all times. Keep it up!!
Byron wants to identify with people who use him but don't like him. Political games that Black folks need to identify and make better choices about esp when it comes to serving people that look like them.
@@robertdaniels3029 Hes a traitor hes standing back on his butt. And would not speak up against the history of black people in Florida. Hes crain't no way to wear black people to have a vote for him. Hes not one of us, hes 1 of them. Hes Our skin color but hes not one to So that hell with him The black people in fort florida should put this behind out
Donalds is not a "conservative," he's a warped right-wing extremist who spouts endless lies and warped views. Shame on him for betraying his oath of office and his country with what he and the rest of his anti-truth and anti-democracy R swamp gang have been doing. A man who won't call out a loathsome demagogue, criminal and traitor like trump doesn't deserve our attention or our respect.
First time listening and really enjoyed the interview Stephen A. Thanks for sharing this and having Byron on the show to be a part of a straight up honest conversation with You
A very grass roots constitutional stand up guy. I like Tim Scott too but Byron seems stronger sticking to his guns. Tim Scott is a nice guy to a fault well intended to win over members of the left persuasion but these sickos on the left can’t be reasoned with. They’re either wildly insane enough to believe the garbage they spout or unethical enough to know the truth but still lie for a paycheck regardless of how much Americans suffer from votes casted based on their false word.
This was a necessary interview. Worth the entire hour no matter what party you side on. Notice just straight talk. No emotion pulling. Clear and concise with substance.
I loved this interview. Stephen A Smith made his points clear and Byron clearly communicated his positions. As a Florida resident I’m fired up and would love for you to Govern the state. I’m ready to run for congress.
Wow. What an impressive guy, Congressman Donalds. And what a fair interview by Smith. Better than 90% of the rest of the commentators/journalists on the air.
Love the interview Stephen A., my wife was an independent most of our marriage and wasn't really into politics until we met. I fully support Congressman Donalds, especially his politics.
So many of us have had to look more closely and change course in the last couple of decades . Making our issues white vs black and Republican vs Democrat is what kept us powerless .. Swamp rats of all types colluded to keep us shackled.
Stephen A, thanks for having a conversation. Too many times we see people talking over each other and not allowing people to truly discuss opposing views. We need more civil debate about issues. We are not as divided as the political powers want us to be.
Normally i don’t watch 1 hour long shows on YT, but this two gentleman kept me glued till the end. Great respectful back and forth.

He also has a stellar financial background to complement Trump. I for one will be disappointed if he isn't picked.

First time watching your program. I am a Naturalized Citizen who came here from Eastern Europe as a teenager. It was a shock to my system. I always wondered why America is so preoccupied with race?
Gotta respect Steven Smith for actually having a conversation with a smart Conservative. BTW, I'm 56, black immigrant Floridian, and huge Byron Donalds supporter.
Fellow Floridian love Byron!
67 years old Byron, Donald's is awesome.
Donalds is a supporter of Trump, the guy who tried to overthrow a democratic election.
He is nothing more than a self-serving charlatan, and you're a gullible fool who is enabling authoritarianism.
I'm 51, French immigrant to Canada, and a huge Byron Donalds supporter.
I’m Peruvian I love Byron Donalds ❤️🇺🇸❤️ he is a Patriot !!
Great interview, Stephen A. It was conducted with far more professionalism than what we see from many others. There were no rude interruptions or overtalking. Two professional gentlemen right there.
Stephen A. Ive been suoer skeptical of you in the past in some of your commentary. Bringing Rep Donalds on paints a very refreshing picture of you and definitely lets down my guard. Thank you sir for providing this man part of your platform. He is my favorite representative and im from PA
People like this is what the world needs especially in America 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hats off to you Mr Smith, that was one of the best interviews I have seen in a while!
What an amazing mother this man had. How did she convince him not to follow the crowd. Good for her!

I 'll be a third timer too!!! I never liked him personally, but knew if anyone could get this country on the right track, it would be an International bizz man that couldn't be bought, wasn't darn lawyer, and loved this country!!! since you are black and also a woman, and voted from beginning for him, you are a rare bird indeed!
Another fool....

This makes me have hope. Respect to you, ma'am.
Big props to Stephen A Smith, thanks for having this brother on.
A great conversation. Informative and entertaining. To be honest, had to listen a second time, and did pick up things I missed. Thank you, Steve & Byron. I enjoyed every second of it.
Nice job, Stephen A. Way to interview. Byron Donalds is lights out awesome. He speaks articulately and balanced. Even though these are very controversial topics, the emotions were taken out.
@tomwilcome2817 love Byron Donald’s but he should be working on getting joe out not waste his time whit Stephen .A.
you gotta convince the people to get him out, and the people watch Stephen A @@LuisSilveira-c9m
@@LuisSilveira-c9m Consider the comments herein: he IS doing exactly what you are wishing forTruth coming out of his mouth every time he speaks will lead to success, just like a constantly flowing river erodes and breaks down huge boulders & rocks into sand.
Good talk with Congressmen Byron Donaldson. My name is Herman Sims I'm a retired Army Veteran. Republican/Conservative. Keep it up Steven A.
Great Conversation by these men. AWESOME!!!
The best part of this conversation was when Rep. Donalds educated Mr. Smith about the 3/5 Compromise 1787 Constitution Convention!
Yessss, so hopefully now that Stephen is EDUCATED about this issue, we don't continue to hear it from his mouth. Absolutely love Donald's. If all politicians had values, common sense, and integrity like him,the country would be in a better place.
He is completely wrong and should read upon on Three-Fifths compromise(!)
The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It dealt with the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted for the purposes of determining a state's population, which in turn influenced its representation in the House of Representatives and the distribution of taxes.Southern states wanted to count enslaved individuals as part of their population to increase their representation in Congress and thus have more political power. However, Northern states, where slavery was less prevalent, argued that slaves should not be counted since they were treated as property and did not have the rights of citizens. The compromise ultimately stated that for the purposes of representation and taxation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise effectively gave Southern states more political power in Congress than they would have had if only free individuals were counted, without granting enslaved individuals any political rights or freedom.
COMMENT OF THE YEAR
It’s amazing how many people still get the 3/5ths compromise wrong.

Stephen, i am a half puerto rican, quarter apache, quarter german= white dude from Delaware, i used to fix the a/c in the building you use for your shows when your in Philadelphia at video link, but never got to meet you,..just wanted to say that im a fellow Eagles fan, and always loved watching your shows w/Skip Bayliss and im honored that you are one of the voices of common sense these days!!!!❤❤
I Really REALLY Appreciate This Interview!! We Need More Proffesional, Intellectual Conversations Like This 👍🏾 👌🏾
As a Hispanic conservative i love this. Love black conservatives.
Same! 🗽🇺🇸
They are the bravest
🇺🇲💪🏿💯🙏🏿❤️
Yup!!!!❤❤❤❤
An honest exchange 😊 so refreshing
This was a great conversation between two great men. Really enjoyed it! Byron is a blessing to us all.
Hands down, one of the best "bipartisan" conversations I've heard. You guys clearly have some opposing views but regardless, you had a respectful and productive conversation. If the rest of the respective parties could engage in this manner, we would have a much more productive government, getting sht done for the American people. Lets get Stephen A in government, and Byron Donalds further up the chain. This is coming from 48yr old, white military veteran, just an everyday American trying to survive. I have lost all confidence in government but I can tell you this, watching this conversation gives me hope guys. We need more Americans like you leading the country and paving the way. Much respect to you both, thank you for putting this out there.
I happen to be off work today and found this interview, it was insightful and very informative. I dont agree with dude on a lot of his positions, but I respect how they were able to communicate and not scream at each other.
There was a time, only a couple of years ago, we all could have conversations in a civil manner. Much of the blame for people being divided is the main stream media. They attempt to sway opinions by adding adjectives instead of straight reporting. Now, they just tell you what you're supposed to think and how you should feel. Interviews like this one are sorely needed!
#SAS, Great interview. I am a Black Conservative, and I admire your quest to seek understanding. Thank you.
😂😂😂😂
GREAT INTERVIEW??? REALLY A MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DEBATING POLITICS WITH AN SPORT COMMENTATOR WHAT IS SO SMART ABOUT THAT.
Great show!! Thank you to Byron Donalds 🙌🏼❤️🇺🇸
Congratulations, this is an enlightening conversation. Thanks, Stephen A.
This episode needs way more views. We need more civil, informed and comprehensive conversations. I wish most elected members of congress were able to clearly articulate issues and speak to the public this way.
💯👍🏼
I agree and after the discussions act on and put into action and do it.
Not when people lie! Like this 🤡 Byron. Despicable
The problem with Byron, is he articulates himself very well with certain audiences like Stephen A Smith, but then when he gets among the group of Republicans he forgets to not play the political games, and participates in the lying etc. AOC called him out greatly for his lack of context and disingenuousness when he tried to talk badly about Hunter Biden.
So it becomes misleading a lot of times, what you do behind closed doors are not interviews needs to be relatively the same for the public otherwise you have distrust and he gives a lot of that despite his intellect
@@callystarrso he shouldn't talk badly about Hunter? I'd say his only problem is his support for Trump. Everything else is great.
What a great interview!!! Love Byron Donalds
i appreciate Congressman Byron donalds
Agreed! I never fast forwarded. I listen to the entire interview. Great job, Stephen A! Keep that mind open.
This is a fascinating interview, I love this and I love that you're doing this, Stephen A!
Great show Steve, no loud outburst 🙂
Bryon talks in terms of strategy and accimplishing the goals ahead. Stephen A talks in terms of race.
True
What an amazing interview Thank You Stepen A Smith and Byron Donalds for making this happen.
I wish all of Congress could sit down and have a discussion like you two have had that's the way it's supposed to be!
🎯 💯👍🏼
This was one sided and Smith allowed to much spin not facts he is not prepared for people like this.
@jeffferguson9874 Too much spin? Perhaps you're the one not prepared to handle... facts like this.
@@jeffferguson9874 By spin, you mean facts that don't support your Victimhood narrative right?🤔
@@lbb-ridge482We are still stuck in 1865
Stephen A. in the end just wants to learn and ask the most potent questions. Major props for using your platform in a way that’s in the center of our polarized society
I’m enjoying this conversation. Smith is super respectful and listens. I also like how he asks his questions. And Byron is amazing. His banking and insurance background has helped him speak with authority in financial government matters. He knocks it out of the park.
Great interview! I love Byron Donalds- intelligent, and very wise for his age; excellent communicator, factual, speaks with compassion and speaks the truth. Thank you for your service and standing up for what’s right! God bless!
Props to Stephen A for sitting down with Byron Donalds despite their differences.
We need more blacks like Byron Donald'look around our neighborhoods what do you see? I see people that don't look like me and Townhouses we can't afford that has been bought and built by investors from other countries and we still vote Democrat 🥱
Props to Byron too
@bonnyedaise9465 Actually the Republicans have allowed the foreign money to flow into the Country!
Donalds presented Misinformation at the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry: he was exposed during the hearing for his bogus hunter Biden text message. He's skumm
Differences? Didn't hear much difference
This was six months ago?!?!?! Heard this man speak on the floor, and I wonder; are there more like him?
This young congressman will have a bright future.....leading this great country to be greatest place to live on earth called America 🇺🇸....taking care of your wallets with limited government involvement...i am an Vietnamese American businessman...hated to see so much goverment regulation killing business.....
He probably won't do anything for our community

Great show! Thanks for having a voice like his on your show. Everybody needs to hear from that man. Thanks again Stephen A
Yes Stephen A for using your platform to interview black conservative Byron Donald. This was a great interview. Loved it.
Your bunch of slaves that's what they are
Byron wants to identify with people who use him but don't like him. Political games that Black folks need to identify and make better choices about esp when it comes to serving people that look like them.
@@robertdaniels3029 Hes a traitor hes standing back on his butt. And would not speak up against the history of black people in Florida. Hes crain't no way to wear black people to have a vote for him. Hes not one of us, hes 1 of them. Hes Our skin color but hes not one to So that hell with him The black people in fort florida should put this behind out
Donalds is not a "conservative," he's a warped right-wing extremist who spouts endless lies and warped views. Shame on him for betraying his oath of office and his country with what he and the rest of his anti-truth and anti-democracy R swamp gang have been doing. A man who won't call out a loathsome demagogue, criminal and traitor like trump doesn't deserve our attention or our respect.
Wake up Black folk😄🙏
Very good conversation
First time listening and really enjoyed the interview Stephen A. Thanks for sharing this and having Byron on the show to be a part of a straight up honest conversation with You
Hoping Byron Donalds will run for Gov in Florida 🙏🏼
This guy is the next big star in politics. Real guy with lots of smarts and logic. Eloquent as hell. He is not afraid of anything
He’s looking for a Tim Scott spot. He wants to be the top token watch out Tim Scott is coming for your spot.😂
@keithcaldwell1871 being a hater is a full time job for you isn't it?
@@keithcaldwell1871Even if he is... GOOD. He has good values and knows what he's talking about.
A very grass roots constitutional stand up guy. I like Tim Scott too but Byron seems stronger sticking to his guns. Tim Scott is a nice guy to a fault well intended to win over members of the left persuasion but these sickos on the left can’t be reasoned with. They’re either wildly insane enough to believe the garbage they spout or unethical enough to know the truth but still lie for a paycheck regardless of how much Americans suffer from votes casted based on their false word.
Great discussion..... no BS discussion, enjoyed it
This was a necessary interview. Worth the entire hour no matter what party you side on. Notice just straight talk. No emotion pulling. Clear and concise with substance.
I loved this interview. Stephen A Smith made his points clear and Byron clearly communicated his positions. As a Florida resident I’m fired up and would love for you to Govern the state. I’m ready to run for congress.
Wow. What an impressive guy, Congressman Donalds. And what a fair interview by Smith. Better than 90% of the rest of the commentators/journalists on the air.
Great interview. Thankfully, real communication still exist!
This was awesome to watch!
An honest interview with no gotcha questions! Great job to both of you!
Love the interview Stephen A., my wife was an independent most of our marriage and wasn't really into politics until we met. I fully support Congressman Donalds, especially his politics.
If you are a republican of course you would support Byron Donald's.
Immature response ..... I bet I know the motive? @@dennisgeorge8345
So many of us have had to look more closely and change course in the last couple of decades .
Making our issues white vs black and Republican vs Democrat is what kept us powerless ..
Swamp rats of all types colluded to keep us shackled.
@@dennisgeorge8345 you don't have to be a republican to support morals and common sense.
Thanks for crossing the isle Mr Smith. B Scott!! I need you as FL Gov
Stephen A, thanks for having a conversation. Too many times we see people talking over each other and not allowing people to truly discuss opposing views. We need more civil debate about issues. We are not as divided as the political powers want us to be.
Good show. Need more of this. Thank you
This can be the start of something big 🤔
