The Sage Steele Show

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 hug him. We dive deep into the "toolkit crisis" facing men today, why we've started pathologizing normal childhood behavior in boys, and the radical choice to rebuild a marriage from the ashes. John also turned the tables on me, asking why I decided to "run it back" and get married again after a 20-year journey. This is one of the most raw, honest, and faith-filled conversations I've ever had on this show. If you've ever felt like you were just "performing" your life instead of living it, this episode is for you.

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 happening at our border, the "loon wing" of the Democratic party, and why he's sounding the alarm on the rise of socialism in cities like New York. But beyond the politics, the Senator shared some incredibly personal stories including how he defied orders to save pets during Hurricane Katrina and his honest assessment of meeting with Joe Biden early in his presidency. Senator Kennedy is one of a kind. He's brilliant, he's hilarious, and he reminds us all why we have to stand strong because as he says, "weakness invites the wolves.

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, and why authenticity matters more than ever. This is not a debate or a soundbite interview. It is a real conversation filled with humor, reflection, and moments you do not get in a studio setting. If you are curious about the man behind the headlines and what life looks like when the cameras turn off, this episode is for you.

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 challenge expectations placed on how you're supposed to think, vote, or speak. We talk about black fatigue, social pressure, and the cost of honesty. But we also joke, tease, and laugh through it, because humor is often how people survive difficult conversations. This episode is honest, funny, uncomfortable at times, and genuinely joyful. It is proof that you can talk about serious topics without losing your sense of humor or your humanity. If you want a conversation that is real, unfiltered, and full of laughter, this one is for you.

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 the hardest seasons can lead to the greatest clarity.

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 culture wars surrounding Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA. She opens up about motherhood, the fear culture pushed on young women, the spiritual awakening she experienced through childbirth, the global revival that followed Charlie's passing, and why modern churches are failing a generation searching for truth.

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. We talked about the questions he believes are not being asked, the studies he thinks should be at the center of public conversation, and the consequences he has faced for speaking out. Del walked through what he sees as the dangers of censorship, the erosion of trust in institutions, and the importance of holding powerful systems accountable. This episode is not about fear. It is about understanding. It is about listening to people who have dedicated their lives to a cause, even when their views challenge the mainstream.

In this engaging conversation, Jason Whitlock, a bold conservative sports journalist, dives deep into his tumultuous relationship with Stephen A. Smith. He critiques Stephen's shifting politics and questions his authenticity. Whitlock shares personal insights about his choice to remain single and childless, reflecting on how these decisions have shaped his life. The chat is infused with humor, especially when discussing his top eye candy list. With wit and vulnerability, Whitlock offers a refreshing perspective on media, race, and personal responsibility.

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 through failure, and the difference between being a boss and being a servant leader. He shared what those years taught him about marriage, fatherhood, and humility, and how his faith continues to shape every decision he makes at Ramsey Solutions. We also talked about cancel culture, courage, and why he believes silence is never the answer. This episode is about perseverance, redemption, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking through the fire and choosing to serve others on the other side.

Bear Handlon has lived a life of service, from the battlefield to the boardroom. The former U.S. Navy SEAL and CEO of Born Primitive joined me for a conversation about purpose, leadership, and what it means to truly give back. Bear shared the story behind his company's partnership with Black Rifle Coffee to raise $25 million to pay off veteran medical debt. He talked about the people this effort has already changed, from veterans to Gold Star families, and what it feels like to make that kind of impact. We also talked about his transition from military life to business, the lessons he has learned about sacrifice and integrity, and how fatherhood has given him a new perspective on success. This episode is a reminder that gratitude means more when it comes with responsibility, and that one person can make a difference when their heart is in the right place. Join the mission to help pay off $25 million in Veterans' medical bills.
