Stephen A's Take: Stephen A focuses on two major topics involving the NAACP with Elon Musk and President Trump.

Stephen A. Smith is a New York Times Bestselling Author, Executive Producer, host of ESPN's First Take, and co-host of NBA Countdown.

The Stephen A. Smith Show, focusing on two major topics involving the NAACP:

🗳️ 1. NAACP’s Decision Not to Invite President Trump

  • Context: For the first time in its 116-year history, the NAACP has chosen not to invite a sitting U.S. president (Donald Trump) to its national convention.
  • Reason: NAACP President Derrick Johnson cited Trump’s actions as being contrary to the organization's civil rights mission.
  • Stephen A. Smith’s Take:
    • He disagrees with the decision, arguing that dialogue is essential, even with those you oppose.
    • He emphasizes the importance of hearing Trump out publicly, especially on issues like education funding and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
    • He questions whether Trump is truly the most offensive president in the NAACP’s history and warns against ignoring political power.

🏭 2. NAACP Lawsuit Against Elon Musk’s AI supercomputer in Memphis

  • Issue: AI supercomputer facility in South Memphis allegedly operates gas turbines without proper permits, contributing to air pollution.
  • Health Concern: Residents near the facility face a cancer risk four times the national average.
  • Legal Action: The NAACP and the Southern Environmental Law Center plan to sue, citing violations of the Clean Air Act.
  • Stephen A. Smith’s Take:
    • He supports the lawsuit, stressing that economic development should not come at the cost of public health.
    • He calls for accountability and transparency, especially when vulnerable communities are at risk.

🧠 Tone and Style

  • Analytical and passionate: Stephen A. balances critique with respect, especially toward Derrick Johnson.
  • Civic-minded: He advocates for engagement over exclusion and justice over profit.
  • Direct and urgent: Particularly in the environmental segment, he emphasizes the moral imperative to act.
