11:30Now PlayingDave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Sage Steele about the lifelong lesson of choosing the "harder right instead of the easier wrong"; why standing up to ESPN and Disney over COVID vaccine mandates was the toughest but the right decision; overcoming fear, career uncertainty, and regret by staying true to her principles; the pitfalls of DEI and identity politics in sports media; being judged for her race and conservative views; why people should reject labels, trust their convictions, and pursue the whole truth; and much more.
