Can We Trust Leadership and Institutions Anymore?

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.
