Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Sage Steele about her journey from ESPN to independent broadcasting; how she was punished and canceled for speaking out against vaccine mandates; how she rose through the ranks of ESPN; how the network's culture went "woke" at a rapid speed following Trump's election; how her conservative upbringing and personal experiences shaped her political evolution; the importance of speaking your mind despite backlash; her observations on ESPN’s shift toward political activism; her former colleagues, like Jemele Hill, making public remarks against Trump and the fallout; the hypocrisy within social justice movements; the profit motive behind racial division and divisive narratives; the impact of transgender athletes in women's sports, revealing fears and challenges faced in addressing the issue; the hypocrisy of coaches like Dawn Staley who pretend to support trans women in women’s sports while their behavior on the court shows they believe differently; her eye-opening experiences in corporate media; the disillusionment she faced with corporate control; concerns about the integrity of the electoral process and the erosion of traditional values; and much more.
