“Let me be very, very clear: I talk to everybody,” Smith said said Wednesday’s episode of his podcast. “I don’t agree with a lot of people or a lot of things that people say. I don’t believe that’s a reason to hate them, any more than I want that to be a reason for them to hate me. Listen to what I have to say. If my points are valid, man up, woman up, and admit. If it’s still wrong and believe that in your heart, then say so. We move on, ’cause that’s what I’m gonna do.

“Sean Hannity was on this show. Hopefully, Candace Owens will be on this show. So you’re damn right it’s gonna have Clay Travis on, and all the liberals, and all the conservatives. Any of them that people want to hear from and people want to listen to and watch and view, if they wanna come on Know Mercy, I’m gonna welcome them on. …

“Grow up. Grow up. That’s how things move forward in this world.”

[Good for him. I’d be happy to be on his show, and I’d be delighted if he came on my podcast. In fact, consider that an open invitation, Mr. Smith. — Ed]
