The president doesn’t have the right to declare war on a country. Congress does.
If the Presidents of the US have term limits, all politicians should have term limits, also.
I agree
100% agree
And the SUPREME COURT ALSO, because They have lifetime appointments.
A president can’t declare war. Dude give up politics.
Yet another dumb comment
😅
President can send in the marine corps without approval from congress though. He can also move naval ships around the world and position them in places to combat pirates/terror. Having essentially full control of all 4 branches of the military is a lot of responsibility.
@@Terryrouge427well duhhh he’s the commander in chief!
@markjayalmazan3410 What he's trying to say is he cannot directly declare but he can do enough to instigate it
I like you brother but you tend to play both sides when it comes to politics. I think you are a political wimp . People can hear that you are tethered to your Disney bosses.
He swings whichever way will help his ratings, like a true phony smh
The republican party is being run by crazy people currently. They need to get their shit together and take back control.
That whole 2025 plan is batshit crazy and no sane American who actually respects our founding principles would support that movement.
@@keegancassidy83 💯
Couldn’t have said it any better!!!!
🦝SAS!
President's need congressional permission to declare war
no. that is the job of congress.
Obama did not when he went to war and destroyed Syria.
No they don’t. It’s another one of those rules of decorum things that was collectively understood before. Realistically they don’t. And even if Congress goes against them, the President can just veto them.
Not really remember what GWB did after 911?
@@Mattatack2008 Yeah they torture a lot of ppl..
If this was Obama
My boy, Obama would be locked up if it wasn’t for this. He dropped more bombs than flex
They were mad Obama was trying get people health care and had on a tan suit 🤦🏾♂️
Well you definitely are a troll
This applies to every president in the future. Including democrat presidents. Both sides should agree that the law should still be relevant to a presidents duties.
@@spolHis in ious point is no Black president would ever win a supreme court ruling on presidential immunity for crimes
Good take brother. I gained a whole new respect for you after you spoke the truth about O.J..
They all need term limits house senate and Supreme Court, people need to stop taking advantage of the people and serve us.
Remember, just last month it was the Dems who said *"*we must respect the rule of law and our judicial systems to protect democracy*"*
And you're ok with letting trump break the law and get away with it?
Democrats think we're stupid, and I don't blame them because their scare tactics work. It's funny how the media took Sotomayor's dissent at face value, as the source of truth, meanwhile they completely ignore half of the Court ruling, the Opinion of the Court. The left knows the average American is too lazy to read the court ruling, so they spin up a narrative on how trump will become a dictator and have his opponents assassinate political opponents.
Yeah I’m glad you brought that quote up, because now we no longer have a democracy. We have a monarchy
@@Kevin01SH Go ahead and name the actual "law" at issue you think he is now getting away with.
@@dareal05”A federal grand jury indicted former President Donald J. Trump on four counts for conduct that occurred during his Presidency following the
November 2020 election. The indictment alleged that after losing that election, Trump conspired to overturn it by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the collecting, counting, and certi-
fying of the election results. Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on Presidential immunity, arguing that a President has absolute
immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed within the outer perimeter of his official responsibilities, and that the indictment’s allegations fell within the core of his official duties.”
Vote Trump 2024
We can't trust none of them is the line of the year Stephen A has proven me wrong over over and over again this man will speak his opinion on any & everything not selective reporting love you brother
This is a delusional take sir…. When Kaepernick said the exact same thing, Stephen A. Smith ROASTED Kaepernick for saying he didn’t trust Clinton (Hillary) or Trump…. Kellerman defended Kaepernick’s right to have that opinion….
Some time later, Terrell Owens came on the show and questioned SAS’s blackness….
Apparently YOU forgot but the rest of us haven’t… he does shit like this ALL THE TIME! Receipts are available “brother”
So just sit on our hands, complain and do nothing. Makes sense.
Yoooooooooooo.. this man Stephen A is spittin STRAIGHT. FACTS 🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
Nah he’s liberal sheep
The fact that people don't ask "Both" candidates to step down, lets you know the mindset of both parties and America in general, we all should be troubled.
Trump went through a legit primary to get the nomination.
Biden did not. The DNC rigged the primary process in his favor.
Why should Trump step down?
🎯
I whole hardly agree that the orange man should be asked to step down! Biden had one bad debate, and folks asking him to step aside is absurb! Biden is better than the orange man on his worst day!
If there was another Conservative who have the same pools numbers or even clause to Trump's, even one, Trump'll retired, just one ike Vivek. But right now, we all watched the debate, we saw Trump can walk by his own and walk correctly, and have better policies than Obama's friend, so...Trump 2024
i hope briben stays in ...
The same people who say that Donald Trump is not fit to be President are the same people who watched the debate and say Biden is in a fit state to continue. Make it make sense!
No. Many Republicans have been in record for months saying Trump isn't meant to be president. They don't support Biden.
Find another bad point
False equivalent. The reasons Trump is unfit vs. Biden are two different things. Just because you think both are “unfit” doesn’t mean the “unfit” as it pertains to each is on equal footing. One person tried to overturn an election the other mumbles and can’t publicly speak……it’s a false equivalency and intellectually dishonest.
Neither are fit whats so hard to get about that
@@jaredgleatoneats If only Trump sycophants cared about logical fallacies.
Biden has ran the country effectively for the past 3 and a half years and have good people around him. Trump as president will be chaos in this country.
Its in favor of any American president smh. There are checks and balances that hold the president accountable. Please take a civics class and reread yoyr constitution
There nothing you can tell a blxxx who sees themselves as a victim. This people are a lost cause.
Exactly! Everyone who’s saying he’s going to be a dictator don’t know how our government works.
@@LastoftheMohicans116The court has given him the way to become a dictator.
@@kimaleycreese28 read up on checks and balances
@@kimaleycreese28you do know checks abd balances. As well as impeacent still exist to hold presidents accountavke for PRESIDENTIAL acts or any branch of government. Please educate yourself, take civics 101 you might learn something
I just need to correct Stephen A. Smith. A United States President does not have the power to declare war on another nation. Under the Constitution, a war must be declared by an act of Congress. This is why the Korean War was not technically a war, but a "conflict" or a "police action," because Congress never declared war against North Korea. See Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
@@justinchan6043 what you’re saying is true to an extent….. but Iraq set a new precedent…. That war was not declared by congress
The war in Iraq and the Middle East was not a actual declared war it was still a conflict no actual country was declared war upon it was a war on a ideology
@@william-lloydgarrison [The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002, informally known as the Iraq Resolution, is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No. 107-243, authorizing the use of the United States Armed Forces against Saddam Hussein's Iraq government in what would be known as Operation Iraqi Freedom.]

I still support Donald Trump andI feel he will win again .
He didn’t win the last time you’re sick like the rest of them
Everything about Stephen A says Industry Plant. He says whatever depending on the day. You never really debate anyone of substance. If you look up the word GAMEKEEPER it would definitely be Stephen A Myth
Also Congress should have term limits as well
Trump is the best candidate for this 2024 election...and it needs to be monitored by both sides for a fair election.
Trump 2024
All the pres have immunity I don’t get the big deal ! Joe should be cheering
The issue is only trump has shown a desire to break every norm and violate his oath to get what he wants personally. This scotus ruling does nothing to discourage that behavior.
It's not a big deal, leftists just need a story to spin out of Biden making a fool of himself at the debate.
This is an unintelligent comment.
Why does anyone listen to this dude on politics. He’s like learning on the go lmao
Stfu go to bed . You do better then
There should be term limits for the congress as well.
So now respecting the court is only when it pleases you? What happened to obeying the rule? Few weeks ago the court was right for indicting trump and we have to trust the rule of law, now it changed.
WHEN HAS YOUR CULT LEADER RESPECTED THE LAW????? GO AHEAD I WILL WAIT
@@coolkid5924 When did he not as President? No evidence to convict for Jan 6 before this ruling. The hush money/tax records case was about to be appealed. And the documents case shows a double standard since they aren't prosecuting Biden for the same thing. Furthermore as more information is released it appears that it was a setup in conjunction with the DoJ.
@@coolkid5924 So to be clear what makes trump a cult leader? How smart he is? or How he is able to keep his head high despite all the bogus accusations?
Rather ask yourself, why would a president shower with his daughter?
America is rotting in plain sight.🇯🇲
I think this man’s emotions are at war with himself
Yup. Just like you being a w2 for life. Always fighting for that $1
Is this podcast still on
Barely
Stop trying to both sides this issue. There's no other sides to say a president is immune.
Speaking of Ruth Ginsberg they say her soul tried to get into heaven but the millions of unborn souls she allowed to die pushed her into hell
Conservative here who loves Stephen A!
It’s not about liberal or conservative side. It’s about a ruling that puts no bounds on a president, ostensibly making the executive a king or queen.
Steve Smith, my favorite ESPN host . It’s trump all day don’t be ignorant
Just vote trump bro
You’re really asking how they don’t see?? It’s way more than that my brother, how do they not see EVERYTHING that’s going on in this country right now, how??
Try withholding your support for Trump. We get it, Biden is not fit either. But Trump wasn't a good president before and won't solve America's problems. Things in America can get much much worse if ppl act without thinking. Lots of ppl are just upset and frustrated at EVERYTHING and so they desperately want change, but Trump might very well be much worse than Biden has been.
Lol
Never in our history has a president ask for complete immunity. Why now ? I'm not sure about giving a candidate who says he will be a DICTATOR for 1 day complete immunity is wise. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The checks and balances of the 3 branches of government has been forever altered.
Presidents have always had it, just never a SCOTUS ruling clarifying it. Why is Barak Obama free instead of being jailed for kill a 16yr old US citizen without due process. Because he was president and protecting national security was part of his powers and obligations. Clinton got sued by Gennifer Flowers and was told that he wasn't immune since it had nothing to do with his job, powers, nor obligations as President.
And when did he say he was going to be a dictator on day 1?
It’s funny cuz most of your supporters we are all for Trump 2024 🇺🇸 but your the only one who is lost 😂😂
Is there anything trump could do to make you not support him?
@peterk7662 Trump went on national TV and bragged about being able to unalive someone in broad daylight and not lose a single voter, and the crowd cheered louder for him....
So no, there is nothing he can do.
We follow for sports updates not this shit 😂
@@indigoprime30 generally that would be the case but that just changed with the recent supreme court decision and as we learned more about project 2025. If you dont know what I'm talking about, go learn about it. If you're for it, you probably can't be helped.
He's in the media, he has to go along with the go along get along gang to ensure he gets his checks lol
If Trump gets the presidency we’ll never have a free election again. Ridiculous. Are you trying to be Trump’s sports advisor?
Trump marching his way back into the White House 🇺🇸
Crazy that the party of "law & order" supports a convinced felon to run the country 😂😂. Hypocrites. As long as he supports your bias, right?
They always give ex presidents an invite to the inauguration...😂
@@dremac33 Biden can't even spell "inauguration" at this point...
LIKE A BOSS
@@dremac33 yeah Biden and Obama can pull up no problem 😂
Please research more. You're talking out of your neck. No president can just do what they want.
Stephen A. you need to educate yourself on how a Supreme Court Justice is appointed. Is Stephen A. for term limits on congress and House of Representatives?
We should have a popular vote on the people who get to decide the future of our lives snd this country. This game with the electoral college needs to be thrown out. We are being governed by a minority because of s voting gimmick called the electoral college. All votes should be a popular vote.
QUIT BUCK DANCING SIR. ESPN HAS SLAMMED YOU TO THE HARD CONCRETE. THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY GET TIRED OF YOU.
Don't forget about The Republican Garland stolen seat.
Wow your actually making sense for the first your not making about race. Just truth.
They have to be confirmed by congress..
Yep and the American people elect congress , and the president. So the American people have the power. No need to be mad cuz trumps gonna win!
Judges have immunity, congress and even prosecutors. What's the harm with president. Your hatred is telling.
The Supreme Court ruling on immunity also applies to Biden.
The immunity also applies to actions the President does or say is done according to the law.
You speaking straight facts with Biden...that was a major fumble debate.
The members of are the Supreme Court are supposed to rule impartial according the constitution and rule of law. But unfortunately we have a court that has been politicized.
Loved your take on this matter, and breaking it down for your audience to understand. better. You should do a whole segment on Jeffrey Epstein on how the FBI has the footage and other evidence, and how they have not released any names of the clients -_-
Trump 2024!
Trump 2024.
Amen😊
You wanna be doing politics now , it’s TRUMP 2024
Donal trump 2024!
This doesn’t say he can break the law, it says that you can’t sue them for the consequences of doing something like signing an executive order to ban oil or natural gas drilling.
What are u talking about 😅?
You're right, that's why he's not going to jail, he never committed a crime 🫵🏿🤦🏿♂️
Sure but that is not the issue that was brought before the court. What was brought before the court was the fact the trump tried to overturn an election that he lost. Which one of his actions to do that fell within his official capacity as potus? The conservative majority deflected from that and then told the lower courts to figure it out.
@@smokethecomedian4852 One jury and several grand juries disagree with you. He may not go to jail but he definitely committed crimes.
@@jasonwhite6463 nope, fake news
Stephen please stick to sports where you are great. This ruling is for the office of President which includes democrats.
Every President has had immunity. If not, they all could have been arrested. Any military action taken by a President outside of congressional approval would be considered a crime if not for immunity
No they didn’t.They NEVER had immunity because what you just described IS A CRIME. It was never NOT a crime, congress was just too corrupt to do it but now there is no longer any way to do it if they tried.
Trump twenty twenty four buddy
Stephen A is out of touch.. smh. It’s kinda honestly a shame. Wake up brother
First of all it was it was the law before the ruling it was the law. The court kept the law or upheld it.
This is intellectually dishonest and shows Stephen A. Smith’s ignorance and lack of understanding the nuance. There already was a vacant SCOTUS seat when Obama asked RBG to retire…….Mitch McConnell and the GOP, who had the senate refused to bring that vacant seat to a vote. Had RBG retired, what the F do you think would be different. It just meant that 2 seats would have still been pending the election results. You’re not spouting facts if you don’t take the FACT into consideration. That is why I’m calling this segment intellectually dishonest. No offense, sir. However, you made the claim that RGB and the democrats caused the 6-3 swing, which is false. Mitch McConnell denying bringing Obama’s nominee to a vote is what.
And just remember McConnell’s reasoning was because we are in an “election cycle.” Don’t give me that….,see how Amy Comey Barrett was nominated and pushed through.
not sure how RBG is a good example… Obama would have had to replace her in his first term, because McConnell refused to bring any Obama nominee to the floor (Garland) in his second term, claiming some bogus tradition
Agreed.
Well actually Stephen A. Gorsich got in because Mitch blocked Obama saying it was an election year and Barrett got in because Mitch hurried her in even though it was an election year
thankfully
truth trumps everything.... stop democrat bs
This decision save all presidents
Trump 2024.
You said who's better by saying Biden is going to lose. Please my brother, stick to sports
The Jackassary in the comments is wild. Presidential immunity has always been a thing but in our almost 300 years it’s never applied to criminal acts. The ruling by SCOTUS would have legalized watergate for example.
sa he didn't have the right to attempt to overthrow the government.
I support Clarence Thomas. Trump should be the last president America ever has, pass it down to ivanka trump.
I’m voting for Trump….but nah man women can’t lead me anywhere but to the bedroom.
What's wrong with you
Biden recently did the same in his speech the other day about the constitutional immunity for Trump by saying ,”now the public needs to act”. That’s inciting chaos.
No, it's not. Stop conflating.
@yvener92 what Biden said is not inciting chaos. When Biden said the public needs to act he mean vote the people need to go out and vote and not sit on the side lines and do nothing. The vote will get rid of the chaos for good.
@@Hadden733 so "protest peacefully" and "make our voices heard" is inciting chaos... but "public needs to act" is not inciting chaos...
What about any time a politician has said "fight for our rights", or "fight for our freedoms", or "fight for democracy" - is that inciting violence?
Or... would a person using common sense (which is apparently quite uncommon these days) conclude that these are mere figures of speech, not to be taken literally?
@@Wilky2526 once Trump says it, it’s otherwise..double standards I see
@@Wilky2526 Peaceful protesting is only one part of American people I call it putting folks on notice you have to follow up by voting which is the most important part of making your voice heard. Now to what you preferring to Jan 6th folks that there was not a protest it was a riot by certain crazy number of people that believe the election was stolen from Trump and Trump knew by using certain key words that would set these certain individuals to do what they did on that day. I understand those folks were concerned they believed Trump won and Biden loss and that’s fine they have that right although the facts says other wise but I’d leave that for another day, in the end there another election wait for the election and make your voice heard and encourage people more people to participate in the process and vote. No need to follow a fool and literally fall for okie doke and do what he literally said do.
The President can deploy the Military into a hostile conflict zone, but he cannot declare war only Congress has that authority. But I get what Mr. Smith is saying. When drafting the role of the Presidency, the Founders viewed him as an Executive who would carry out through the agencies of the Federal government, & enforce the laws or directives Congress passed. It was not viewed as a figure of hyper partisanship who would nominate only judges he or his party alone wanted to get preferred results, instead he was to pick experienced wise people to work as judges of the law to interpret the Constitution's meaning & carry out justice.
It is about time for Congress to make law and shorten the SC justices term to 4 or 2 years only. They are acting like Trumps lawyers, instead of upholding the Constitution.
Telling the people that Presidential crimes is okay?!!!!
all law books drained down the toilet.
Stephen A you didn't see this coming, only in AMERICA where they allow this BS to happen. If he was BLACK, he would have been behind BARS period, hands down.
Brother, it is my prayer that you step away from Politics; you sound like an enemy agent against Black People attempting to support Right Winged Politics. You hardly know basic civics; your commentary shows the vagueness of your knowledge. Please, brother, stick to sports! You are proof positive as to why Malcolm X said never let your entertainers be the voice of your people.
Stephen A r u on the left or right or r u other?
Lo 😂Stay out of politics 😄 S. Not your suit !!
We are aware already .. you keep on repeating what everyone else is saying!!We are voting Blue!! You are speaking for your self!!😂
May you should re-read the constitution bc it obvious that the president cannot declare war without legislation. And again if weapon is made in your country and finance by your country taxpayers money you have a right to decide who you give it to. Same as any individual person who own there money, you work for your money you choose who to give to. He needs to shut up his uniform and loud self just like to hear himself talk.
Please SAS, stick to sports. You offer nothing different to political discourse than what’s already provided by the three letter networks.
I appreciate your voice Stephen A...however a President can't just declare war. That has to go through a political process. I agree with a lot of what you said though.
Sorry dude but credibility on politics just drop to zero. Stay in sports dude. Congress can declare war, not the president 😂. He needs there permission first.
USA democracy is at an all time high threat with this immunity thing. Trump loves this. A silent and highly dangerous precedent to democracy.
OH, QUESTION.... IF THIS WAS EX PRESIDENT OBAMA DO YA THINK HE WOULD GET THE SAME BREAK?😲 LOOK 4 ALL THOSE, AMERICA IS A JOKE, SO DO THE BEST U CAN TO LIVE UR LIFE, KEEP THE BEST PPL IN IT...
7:51 massive context being left out… RBG didn’t step down because of what happened when Barack Obama selected Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in Feb or March, and the republicans in Congress sat on not voting the pick until after the election in November. She knew they would have used the same excuse and not allowed the pick to go through.
This is brilliant
Very well articulated and on point 100%. I love the Democratic Party, but they always find a way to self-destruct.
Before you syart something be smart, don't missed lead those that follow you, simply read thev9 pages written, and you will see how a President also has rules, read it thr constitutional that each President is held to.
Always love hearing your thoughts on politics. I'm center right so we disagree on a bit, but ur always honest to yourself not a puppet.
Sloppy Joe's staying the course is not whats going to cost him the job....Trumps better results will.
Don’t forget the control republican didn’t let Obama fill a supreme vacancy that might answer your question why she didn’t want to retire
They also didn’t prosecute Obama for assassinating an American Citizen in Iraq….. because this precedent has been understood for a long time
We miss you on first take!!! It's unwatchable with you. Glad you did the podcast
Great win! Need sleepy joe in a retirement home. I work hard for my money and with Joe I’m just donating money to undeserving people when it comes to my raised taxes. He has been in my opinion the worst president in my lifetime
The Democrats should allow the people of the US to decide on who they want to be president instead of using the justice system to take out a political opponent.
Who cares? We need Trump in office. Tell me one thing about he's presidency that negatively affected you're life other than offended you're feelings.
😂Wow this is ur Geart for u right !! Think 🤔 about it very carefully ok lol Wow u are up front & u are going to meet it hard on ok ! 🎉
Stephen A I need you to start shedding light on project 2025 and specifically how it effects ppl of color
Finally someone has some sense. Ohh it's Stephen A. Haha Only Dems talking head who has enough balls to talk some sences😅😅
He has political aspirations, maybe even presidential aspirations . Study the rhetoric !
