The Sage Steele Show

• What Happens When Culture and Beliefs Collide? | Sage Steele Show | EP 77

  Allie Beth Stuckey has never been afraid to speak truth in a world that often rewards silence. In this conversation, we talked about faith, conviction, and what it means to stand firm when culture pushes you to conform. Allie opened up about her journey into broadcasting, how motherhood reshaped her worldview, and why she believes women today are desperate for truth, not validation. We also talked about the cost of conviction, how to disagree without dehumanizing, and why faith must come before fear, especially in media and leadership. We discussed the state of Christianity in America, the pressure many young people face to compromise, and how social media has changed the way we share and live out our beliefs. Allie’s perspective is strong but full of grace, rooted in both intellect and compassion. This conversation was about more than faith or influence. It was about courage, clarity, and holding fast to what is true even when it is unpopular.

• James O'Keefe Exposes the TRUTH about Epstein | Sage Steele Show | EP 76

  James O’Keefe has never been afraid to ruffle feathers. From founding Project Veritas to launching OMG, the O’Keefe Media Group, his investigations have taken on some of the most powerful institutions in America. In this conversation, we talked about what drives him to keep exposing corruption even when the personal cost is high. He opened up about being ousted from the company he built, the lessons he learned about trust and betrayal, and how that painful chapter reshaped his mission. We also dove deep into his ongoing work on the Jeffrey Epstein case, the battles he has faced with the DOJ and FBI, and how he stays grounded through it all. James spoke about his faith, his parents, and the people, like his friend Charlie Kirk, who have influenced his perspective on courage and conviction. It is one of the most powerful and emotional conversations I have ever had. Whether you agree with him or not, James reminds us why truth still matters and why it is worth fighting for.Chapters:00:01:29 – James O’Keefe’s Mission and How He Got to Where He Is Chapters: 00:06:54 – When Project Veritas Turned on James O’Keefe 00:10:43 – Why Project Veritas Fired James O’Keefe 00:19:16 – James O’Keefe’s Proudest Moment as an Investigative Journalist 00:23:47 – The Planned Parenthood Story 00:25:46 – Do the Nerves Ever Get to James? 00:31:25 – The Pfizer Story 00:34:39 – Can We Trust Our Leadership? 00:38:37 – Epstein Breaking News 00:51:40 – Charlie Kirk’s Last Words to James O’Keefe 00:58:18 – James O’Keefe’s Thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s Legacy 01:02:23 – What Triggered James O’Keefe to Open His Bible BTS on Patreon: http://bit.ly/4nLmOSk The Sage Steele Show is a weekly podcast hosted by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele.

• Secretary of Education: Linda McMahon | Sage Steele Show | EP 75

  From building WWE with her husband Vince to running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut and later serving in President Trump’s cabinet, Linda McMahon’s story is nothing short of remarkable. In this conversation, I sat down with Secretary Linda McMahon, now serving as the U.S. Secretary of Education, to talk about her journey through business, politics, and public service. She opened up about the early days of WWE, what it was like to lose everything and start again, and how those lessons shaped her as a leader and as a mother. We also talked about her Senate campaigns in Connecticut, her role in the Trump administration, and the bold steps she’s taking to reshape education in this country. From Title IX and protecting women’s sports, to the fight against antisemitism on college campuses, to her push for school choice and literacy, Linda is determined to return education to the states and put students first. It’s a powerful reminder of what resilience looks like and what leadership can accomplish when it’s rooted in conviction.

• Everybody Loves Justin Nunely | Sage Steele Show | EP 74

  You probably know Justin Danger Nunley from TikTok, where millions of people wait for his signature line: “Listen… did you know?” But behind the viral videos is a story most people have never heard. Justin sat down with me in Nashville not long after retiring from the Air Force, where he served for 20 years. We talked about how the military shaped him, why comedy became his outlet, and how a fun experiment on TikTok exploded into a career that changed his life. He opened up about the grind of building an audience, the setbacks that almost stopped him, and the viral moment that sent his account into the millions. And this conversation was extra special because my daughter Quinn joined in on the action for a bit, which made it that much more fun and real. But it was not just about content. Justin shared stories about his family, the importance of resilience, and the lessons he carried from service to social media. He also spoke honestly about criticism, cancel culture, and the pressure of staying authentic when millions are watching. This conversation had everything. Laughter, vulnerability, and some random facts you will never forget. More than anything, it showed the heart behind the humor.

• CNN's Voice of Reason: Scott Jennings | Sage Steele Show | EP 73

  Scott Jennings has built a reputation for speaking truth to power on CNN, but what stood out to me in this conversation was his honesty, his perspective, and his heart. We filmed this episode over a month ago in Washington DC, and it was the perfect backdrop for a raw and real discussion about politics, faith, and family. We talked about what it takes to sit in the lion’s den night after night, debating politics in front of a national audience, and why authenticity matters more now than ever. Scott opened up about his career path from Kentucky to the Bush White House, to campaign war rooms, and now to CNN, where his voice has become one of the most recognizable conservative perspectives in America. He shared stories about Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the lessons he has learned from decades inside politics and media. We also talked about faith, family, and why staying grounded matters when the world is coming at you full speed. Scott Jennings is sharp, candid, and passionate about America’s future, but what I walked away with was a reminder of his integrity and his courage to stand firm in the face of constant pressure.
