Stephen A. Smith, longtime sports commentator and television host, recently had Hall of Fame basketball star Charles Barkley on his podcast “The Stephen A. Smith Show.”
Smith has a long history of opposing President Trump, but his recent exchange with Barkley hints at a change of heart.
Fox News expands on the issues the country has been facing during the exchange between Barkley and Smith.
“You know I’ve been coming up here to New York to do this show for like the last couple of months,” Barkley began.
“And you see the streets, you see the streets in New York,” Smith interjected.
“First of all, the border is a joke. The border is a joke. They have these migrants bussed up to New York. They have them on camera kicking and beating cops. They beat up these two cops,” Barkley said. “They were out of jail in 24 hours and the next day.”
“Actually, it was the same day, Charles. It was the same day,” Smith noted.
“Two days later, they caught them robbing Macy’s. They beat up cops. How are you out of jail in 24 hours?” Barkely added.
The conversation then shifts to their plans for the upcoming Presidential election:
Smith then asked which presidential candidate he would lean toward given the nation’s history as it relates to inequality, while also taking the country’s current state of affairs into consideration.
“We need law and order, Stephen A.,” Barkley said. “Trying to fix inequalities has nothing to do with letting people go in stores and rob people.”
“I agree. I’m with you,” Smith noted.
Watch the exchange here, where they refuse to just come out and say they will vote for another party, but implore on the need for change:
Stephen A Smith and Charles Barkley call out “woke culture,” the catastrophe at our border, illegal immigration and crime.
Here’s the issue.
Neither of these men are willing to come out and say they will vote for Trump, RFK Jr, or another third party.

Law and order, that is an extremely important comment to take note of as they are not areas of expertise for Biden.
Stephen A. Smith has been coming out to support President Trump in recent days, watch a recent post from Stephen A:
Stephen A. Smith is more red pilled than I realized. 😳👏🔥
He praises Trump for calling out Biden for using the legal system to defeat him; not the debate stage and voting polls.
Tons of Americans are starting to realize this. They know Trump can’t be beat fairly. pic.twitter.com/j5jKnCiJEa

With many celebrities like Dwayne Johnson previously supporting Biden shifting their support, could Stephen A. Smith be the next one?
