President Trump is “prepared to unleash hell” on Iran if it won’t “come to a deal,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday.
while criticizing both the progressive left and political leaders, including President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, during his broadcast of “Straight Shooter” on SiriusXM Wednesday. “Let me state for the record, you should have a damn ID,” Smith said.
“I have no problem with the demand for an ID to vote. You need an ID for every damn thing else. Act, a Republican-backed proposal that would require proof of US citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. The Senate is debating and offering amendments to the legislation. Smith pointed to what he described as inconsistencies in how identification requirements are applied in daily life compared to voting, referencing local policies that require multiple forms of ID for routine activities.Host Stephen A. Smith in conversation with Senator Ted Cruz at a SiriusXM Town Hall event at SiriusXM Studio on November 19, 2025 in Washington, DC.“You ain’t in no position to be b——- about how he wants IDs and the GOP wants IDs for votes. Shut up. Nobody wants to hear that,” Smith said. Smith also raised concerns about how some voter ID proposals are structured, arguing that requiring multiple forms of identification beyond commonly held documents can be excessive. “When even a Real ID or a driver’s license or a Social Security card ain’t enough … and if you show up and present your passport, even then they want a second form of ID,” Smith noted. He cited what he described as minimal instances of voter fraud, referencing election data from Utah to argue the issue is often overstated in political messaging.“They found one illegitimate vote out of 2 million. … You know it’s not a problem. It’s exaggerated. It’s embellished,” Smith claimed. The commentary went beyond elections when Smith addressed global tensions and their economic impact, including rising energy costs tied to instability in the Middle East. “And now we got the war in Iran. … Oil prices have risen,” Smith said. “In the state of California, it’s approaching $6 a gallon. That’s not just because of this, that’s damn sure because of Gavin Newsom and the local government.” Smith also raised concerns about federal spending and the national debt, criticizing leaders in Washington for high deficits. He then turned his focus to President Donald Trump, questioning previous campaign promises related to foreign policy and economic outcomes as conflicts abroad continue.Stephen A.
