The Sage Steele Show

Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County is running for Governor of California. He has served in law enforcement for over 30 years. He kept his businesses open during COVID. He hired everyone who got fired for refusing the vaccine. He has already arrested school officials for failing to notify parents. And when Trump endorsed his opponent at 1AM, his wife woke him up to tell him. He said "oh, that...

Michael Knowles and I had one of the most wide-ranging conversations I have had on this show and it goes places I did not expect. We get into the Yale study that found women have become measurably unhappier as feminism has grown, and why Michael says that is not actually a paradox. Why he believes the advice to throw out feminism entirely is the most practical marriage advice he has ever received....

I have been waiting a long time for this conversation. Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, a cardiologist, and the most published physician in the world on COVID-19 and vaccine safety. And he did not hold back. We get into the moment he was silenced under oath in the US Senate in November 2020 and why he still regrets staying quiet. The two specific crimes he believes Fauci committed include fra...

Steve Hilton is running for Governor of California and he is not pulling any punches. In this conversation, he breaks down exactly how 16 years of one-party rule turned the most resource-rich state in America into the most expensive, most unaffordable, and most mismanaged state in the country. We get into the $928 million that vanished from a solar panel program, the $24 billion in homeless spendi...

I have known David Pollack for years. We worked together at ESPN, we have been friends through some of the hardest seasons of each other's lives, and I have always respected him deeply. But I did not know the full story until he sat down with me for this conversation. David was a three-time All-American at Georgia, second only to Herschel Walker in program history. He was a first-round NFL Draft p...

I have been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Nick Vujicic is someone I had the privilege of getting to know first as a person before I ever sat across from him as a guest. And what you see in public is nothing compared to who he is behind the scenes. Nick was born in Australia in 1982 with no arms and no legs. Nobody knew until the moment of birth. The doctor's first words to...

Jeff is one of the funniest comedians working today. He is also two years and four months sober, still grieving his sister who died in a car collision in 2015, his father who passed recently, and quietly carrying a faith he spent years hiding from the comedy world because he was afraid it would cost him his career. In this episode, Jeff talks about what COVID actually did to him, locked alone in a...

It has been three years since Stephen A. Smith and I sat face-to-face, and today, he is finally sitting in my living room in Florida! We have been teammates, rivals, and friends through some of the most turbulent years in media history, but this is a conversation you will never see on a sports network. Stephen A. Smith is more than just a "performer"—he is a brand built on a foundation of early fa...

I sat down with Kennedy and this conversation went places I didn't expect. Before Fox News, before The Five — she was fighting to even be allowed to talk about politics. MTV put it in writing. What she did next is exactly why I respect her.  Sponsors: Ready to give MASA a try? Get 25% off your first order by going to http://masachips.com/sage  and using code SAGE.

I've known Brian Kilmeade for a long time, but sitting down with him in this format allowed us to go deeper into the "locker room" of national news than ever before. Most of you see him for six hours a day across Fox & Friends and his radio show, but today we're pulling back the curtain on the grit, the rivalries, and the absolute loyalty that made his network number one. Brian is a master storyte...

I remember the day I discovered Jen Sey. We had such similar trajectories in our careers and our "cancellations," and sitting down with her in person was a powerful reminder that the truth always wins. Most of you know her as the former Brand President of Levi's who stood up for children's rights during the pandemic, but today, we're going way beyond the headlines. Connect with Jen Sey: Instagram:...

I have spent my career around some of the world's most focused individuals, but Kristan Hawkins brings a level of grittiness and fearlessness that is truly in a league of its own. As the president of Students for Life, Kristan isn't just an activist; she is a mother of four and a "revolutionary" for the most vulnerable among us. In this powerful episode, we go far beyond the viral debate clips to...

I finally sat down in person with Leland Vittert, and while we both have some pretty fabulous hair, it's what's under the surface that left me truly moved. Most of you know him as a fearless News Nation anchor and former Fox News correspondent, but today we're talking about his raw and powerful new book, "Born Lucky." In this episode, Leland opens up about his lifelong journey with autism and a se...

I have spent my career around world-class high-performers, but I don't know if I've ever met anyone with the sheer persistence and focus of Scott Presler. Most people know him as the man with the hair who spent months living in battleground states to master voter registration, but today, we're going way beyond the political headlines. We're talking about the psychology of grassroots activism, the...

I spent 15 years only watching sports because of my life at ESPN, so I missed the initial Duck Dynasty craze—but getting to know Willie and Korie Robertson today was exactly what my soul needed. We go far beyond the camo and the beards to discuss the raw reality of family, faith, and what happens when your life changes overnight. In this episode, Korie and Willie get incredibly honest about their...

Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer joins me for a conversation that I'll never forget. We've all seen the headlines about his bravery in combat, but in this episode, we go far beyond the military accolades to discuss the real price of heroism and the silent struggle of mental health that follows the battlefield. Dakota is incredibly raw about the night he stood in the Battle of Ganjgal, the los...

Today's guest, Dr. John Delony, is someone I have admired from afar for a long time because he has a way of cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart of what's breaking our families. In this conversation, John gets incredibly vulnerable about his own "big dirty secret" how his success in the world was masking a "nuclear reactor" of stress that made his own daughter feel unsafe to...

I am so honored to have Senator John Kennedy join me today. If you know the Senator, you know he tells it exactly like it is: no filter, no teleprompter, just straight common sense. We really went there in this one, covering everything from the high-stakes military action in Venezuela to the "special kind of stupid" he sees in government bureaucracy. We took a deep dive into the reality of what's...

 In this edition of The Sage Steele Show, I sit down with Jesse Watters for a conversation you do not usually see on television. We talk about life beyond the camera. Family, marriage, faith, confidence, mistakes, and what it actually takes to stay grounded while working in a nonstop media environment. Jesse opens up about lessons learned, how his personal life has shaped the way he shows up on TV...

In this episode, I sit down with Hodgetwins, and I can honestly say this might be the most I've ever laughed on this show. Yes, we talk about real issues. Culture. Politics. Identity. Accountability. But we also laugh a lot. Because that's who they are. Comedians who tell the truth without pretending it has to sound polished or safe. We get into what happens when you stop conforming, when you chal...

My dear friend  Samantha Ponder joins me for one of our most honest conversations yet. We talk motherhood, faith, fear, and freedom, raising kids in New York City, why safety is more complicated than we think, and what it really means to trust God in uncertain times. We also reflect on life after ESPN, being fired, stepping away from social media, marriage, parenting without fear, and why some of...

In this episode of The Sage Steele Show,  Isabel Brown exposes the American education crisis, the rise of college indoctrination, and why Gen Z is abandoning universities for homeschooling, trade jobs, and a return to faith, family, and tradition.   Isabel shares her journey from conservative student activist to a national voice after facing Antifa protests, death threats, and the chaos of campus...

This conversation with Del Bigtree is one of the most serious and eye-opening episodes I have ever recorded. Del laid out his concerns about vaccine safety, government transparency, and the systems that influence the medical decisions families make every day. Whether you agree with him or not, his perspective is rooted in years of research, investigation, and a deep passion for protecting children...

Jason Whitlock showed up ready to talk about everything, and he did not hold back. We talked about his long and complicated history with Stephen A. Smith, why that friendship changed, and what he believes Stephen has gotten wrong through the years. Jason opened up about the choices he has made in his personal life, including why he never married or had children, and how those decisions shaped the...

I sat down with Dave Ramsey at his headquarters in Nashville for one of the most personal and inspiring conversations I've had on this show. Dave opened up about losing everything in his 20s, filing for bankruptcy as a young husband and father, and how that painful chapter became the foundation for the empire he built today. We talked about what it means to be a real leader, how faith guided him t...
