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.
