Stephen A Smith on The View · Tony Katz | Popcorn Moment

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go off the watch.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Is the best moment. I thought.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: In the steven A Smith chat on The View where
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Sonny Houston tried to trap him, I tried to demonstrate
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: how wrong he was about something.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Stephen A.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Smith ranted about how ridiculous the Seditious Six as they're
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: being called are specifically one member of the Seditious Six,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and how their encouragement for military men and women to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: ignore orders from the president even though they couldn't identify
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: any orders the President had given that they thought were illegal.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And he ranted about Mark Kelly specifically stephen A did
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that this was bad, that this was wrong, and so
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Houstin confronted him about it, even played the audio of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: him talking about that story on his show that he
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: was definitely much more adamant about. And I thought this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: back and forth was great. Even if steven A didn't
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: go full steven A, which means screaming and yelling. He
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: actually was much more calm than you expect him to be.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: But here let's play a little bit of that audio.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Let me just I just remind you that Pete Hegseth
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: said in twenty sixteen, I do think there have to
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: be consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a consequence for that. That's why the military said it
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: won't follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. Now,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: given the fact that the Secretary.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Himself said that, it's also sort of insane that these
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: view audience members are so far to the left that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they're applauding this, because, yes, if there is actual orders
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that are given that are illegal, even HeiG set degrees
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and obviously hegg seth degrees, you shouldn't follow them.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That's not what's happening.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: They're politicizing things, pretending that something is illegal when nothing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: has been and they even admit to themselves nothing has been.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Regu let's see, when I respond.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I'd love to give you the opportunity to perhaps change
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: your position on what you said.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not changing the thing. You want to stay it loud, Well,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: you could call it loud and wrong. Oh you want to.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to mind. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: has to be out of the in the situation of
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: all I don't give a damn what Pete heg saith
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: has to say, because I will tell you right now
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: he was never qualified for the job. Can you talk
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: about David guide eradicating that? Excuse me, what was he
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: doing hosting Fox News on the weekend and all of
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: a sudden he's the Defense secretary.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Just give me a break.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I don't care what he has to say. He leaned
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: into the democratic narrative.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: About the way as it pertains to Mark Kelly, what
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I was talking about is military. What I did was
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: get on the phone with family and French who have
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: served in the military, and I said, we're not civilians.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: This is not the court of law.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: You can be implicated for implying something if you are
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a former military member or you are a present military member.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: It wasn't what Mark Kelly said. It's the fact that
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: he was a combat Navy pilot who served in the military.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Who would folks ignore an order when it could get.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I said illegal legal?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: There are no illegal orders. They've all admitted there's no
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: illegal orders. But I love that. Stephen A.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Smith was very good, in my opinion, at getting to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the point. In the second half of his answer, of course,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he leaned in and demons traded his democratic whatever as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: democraticqualifications by crapping on Pete Hegseth, who has done a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: fantastic job in my opinion as the director the Secretary
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of War, which is an awesome name for the Defense Department.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I just thought this was awesome that Steve
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and I would sit there and just absolutely rip apart
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the narrative that he said anything at all that he
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: regrets because he talked to people within the military, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: saying that you should ignore the orders of the sitting
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: president for any reason is actually fully insane. I want
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to move on to something else that I like a lot.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: This could also be a popcorn moment, although it's not political,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: so we don't have to call it that. But Columbia
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Sportswear has pledged to give their entire company to anyone
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: out there that can prove definitively that the Earth is flat.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think they even have a spot that they put
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: over on the Internet and other places talking about this.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I want to play this audio.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's the CEO of the company, Tim Boyle, saying flat earthers,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: come on out, prove to us this thing and you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: get the entire company.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Tim Boyle.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I'm the CEO here at Columbia Sports Square, and this
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: message is for flat earthers.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: You guys claim there's.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: An end to the earth.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: We'll just go snap a picture, send it to us,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: and you get the assets in the company.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: All of it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Awesome, no paperwork, no lawyers, no catches.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: I'm tim there is some paperwork.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're giving you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: All this, this and all of that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, flat earthers, do me a favor.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: You're going to the edge of the earth where Columbia.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You'll need it. Yeah, you probably do need it. What
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: do we think of this?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: That a company ad? That's really good, isn't it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's awesome, And I would like to take
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of deceptive photos that make it look like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I found the end of the earth.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Because he said, no lawyers, he said, no strings attached.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like I can take a photo that looks
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like it's the end of the earth and then I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: win the company.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Well, somebody's get to the edge of the Grand Canyon
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: take a shot.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I found it, found it, We got it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I love the challenge.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I love that this is out there and being talked about.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, the earth is not flat in fact, for
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: anyone that thinks it is so. Colombia is not risking
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: very much by doing this. But I feel like they
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: could branch even deeper into conspiracy theory and tell people,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: if you can prove this thing or that thing, you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: also get the company. I think we can go beyond
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the flat earth and dive even deeper.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: If you've had a family member get sick off Keemtrails,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: you can own the store.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I mean it would be It'd be awesome, man, Like,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: let's have the conspiracy theorists actually have something they can
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: win if they go into this world and really prove
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a thing.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I love this so much.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: If you can prove that Downtown Monument was built by
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: the Illuminati, you can own our store.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: If you can prove that Jeffrey Epstein hung himself, please
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you get the company, You get all the work boots
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you want. Yeah, And to be honest, man, I'm not
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: saying that I don't believe that that could have happened.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I just want someone to prove some of these things,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: some of the conspiracy theories might be true, and let's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: give somebody a reward for actually in the deep dive.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: B Because that'll always spill on purpose. Welcome and you
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: own the store. Now, Oh man, how great would that be.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'd love the press conference where one of these people
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: actually does prove something is in fact real, and then
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they're awarded an entire company for it. And then I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: love the way that their company might be run by
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the guy who did the deep dive into the conspiracy theory,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because Columbia Sportswear will get a lot crazier as an
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: organization once people get involved in it. That you believe
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: some of this stuff, but nonetheless, again I think that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we deserve a reward for some of the conspiracies that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: wind up being true. And anyone out there that's getting
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: mad at the radio, I promise you I believe some
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: conspiracies actually are accurate. It's too a planned of a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: term to use on too many things. But this is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just such a great, great spot, very very much something
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that I think will get a lot of people talking
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: about Columbia, which I definitely wouldn't talk about without this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Well, he's going to get sued.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: The company is going to get sued eventually, because you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: going to be This reminds me you could take a
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: picture of anything because you're making the conspiracy theory about
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: the world is flat. So anything to you is going
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: to be real hardline evidence if you believe that. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: it reminds me remember way back Yester Lore, the kid
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: with the Pepsi points and Pepsi was saying, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: one of their commercials, they flew in an M sixteen
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: and say as a joke like, if you collect all
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: your Pepsi points, you're gonna be able to trade them
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: in for this MiG for this jet fighter. And so
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: one kid, kind of a smartness says, yeah, I can
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: do that, and he gets all the points and they're like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: no supercraft, no super airlined, and he sued them and
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: one and yeah, it's kind of a interesting story. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: this guy from Columbia boots. I'm always a little apprehensive
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: when you put it out there, like, yeah, you do
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: this and you're going to get this, especially wh you
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: don't have a clear set of the terms.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: You know, you don't have you want lawyers involved in this.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: I would think, you know what.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: A great reference Leonard versus PepsiCo that you just talked
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: about a little bit ago when he went and did
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the deep dive into I deserve a fighter jet and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: an AV eight harrier too thing, and yeah, he deserved
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it absolutely. PepsiCo said that there's also this viral video
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: on TikTok of a dude who put the call letters
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to a radio station on his forehead.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Have you seen this at all?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: They did a promo at a radio station where like,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: if you tattoo our call letters to your face, we'll
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: give you thirty thousand dollars. And they said it was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a joke on air several times, but they said it
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: convincingly enough that a dude did it and he won
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: like a stupid court case in one of those people
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: court places where he actually put the call letters on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: his face. And so you do have to be careful
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: about the things you offer and how you offer them
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: on the radio or anywhere on television or the internet,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: because if someone can take it as legitimate, they can
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: actually try to pursue it and then maybe get you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in trouble in.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: A court room.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: So you know, if you tattoo in dot on the
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: small of your back, I'll send you a T shirt.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: That's fine? So are you gonna say, Carl.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Imagine if the owners of that radio station to double
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: up the joke on him, change the format and the
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: call letters.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Oh dude, that would be harsh. That would be difficult.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But they had to fork over some month, so that's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: something that definitely had to happen. I do love that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Matt's Gonna Go t shirt though, because we can facilitate that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We can make that happen. Man, if you put if
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you get a Matt Bear tattoo.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: No, no, I wanted to say.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say, you know what, either either or
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like if they get the Matt Bear tattoo,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: they also deserve a T shirt man, or I guess
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Matt and or Yeah, if you get Matt and Craig
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Excellent Podcast tattooed on your bottle, we will also give
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you a T shirt. That show is out there, It's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: able to be listened to all the time, right,
