“This is why people got to be careful about messing with you. Because I was getting ready to disagree with you until you threw out those last [facts]. I didn’t know he tried to go to the Oscars. I didn’t know he tried to be on the cover of Vogue. I didn’t know that stuff, Candace. I honestly didn’t know. Okay, that does change it a little bit.” Never in a million years did I think conversations like these would be happening.

It’s refreshing to see real conversations breaking through the media narrative. When presented with facts, even those who might disagree at first can start to see the bigger picture. Blind support for Ukraine needs scrutiny, leaders should be held accountable, not treated like celebrities. – Trump Gunner
Stephen A has proven he can be an obnoxious tv personality as it relates to sports, but when he talks politics he doesn’t act like he knows everything, he will listen, and he will adapt. That’s they he will never have a future in the Democrat party. They hate an open mind
This was an amazing dialogue! I appreciate when people take time to listen to each other and actually listen to learn and not listening just to respond. This is the way!
Candace Owens has always educated herself and done the investigation that nobody else does. I’m so super proud of her. I see her as a best friend. – Beltran
She did not say anything that was untrue. In the US we have been propagandized on almost every geopolitical situation. The only antidote to that is to think critically and research anything and everything we are told.
Stephen is pretty good at listening and taking in info that he doesn’t know. I don’t agree with him politically and can’t stand him talking football, but he’s decent at this political discussion stuff
Yes, Russia has expressed interest in joining NATO at various points in its history, though these overtures have never resulted in formal membership. One of the most notable instances occurred in the early 1990s, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1991, Russian President Boris Yeltsin sent a letter to NATO expressing interest in future membership as part of a broader effort to integrate Russia into Western institutions. This was during a period of relative openness and cooperation following the end of the Cold War. Another significant moment came in 2000, when newly elected President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with the BBC, suggested that he could see Russia joining NATO under certain conditions, describing it as a possibility that could foster greater security cooperation. He reportedly asked then-NATO Secretary General George Robertson why Russia hadn’t been invited to join. However, these discussions never progressed into serious negotiations, as underlying tensions—such as NATO’s expansion eastward and Russia’s geopolitical ambitions—kept the two sides at odds. The idea resurfaced informally over the years, but by the mid-2000s, relations soured significantly, especially after NATO’s 2004 expansion included former Soviet states like the Baltic nations. Putin’s 2007 Munich Security Conference speech marked a clear shift, criticizing NATO’s enlargement as a threat to Russian security. Since then, Russia’s actions—like the 2008 war in Georgia, the 2014 annexation of Crimea, and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine—have made any notion of joining NATO effectively impossible. So, while Russia has floated the idea in the past, it’s never formally applied, and the window for such a move closed long ago due to mutual distrust and conflicting interests. – Professor Woodstock
