Oh, my God. Listen, I went to Indiana. They got a big game at Notre Dame today. Do we have any hope?

That's the word. It's scary and it's crazy and it's intimidating and it's awesome and it's freeing. It's like there's I didn't know there's a whole world out here, Charlie. I used to just watch from afar and think in my next life, I'll be able to be honest and be able to talk to people like Charlie Kirk, who's half my age and inspiring me and inspiring millions of people.

I want you to know I have three kids in college this year, three college kids. My kids didn't listen to a thing I said. They don't. Right. That's what you guys do. They listen to you, and you truly changed this country, so it's been an honor to stand up here with you.

That's what happens when you decide to stand up for yourself and sue Disney, I guess, is that you say, forget it. Was I, quote unquote, throwing away my sports career? Absolutely. But I trusted in God. And at the end of the day, I felt that if I was preaching to my kids to be true to themselves and to stand tall for what they believe in, but then I went silent, then I'm a hypocrite.

How can I teach my kids to do that, but then stay quiet, even though it was scary, even though it was costly in every possible way? That was my turning point. And when I got to interview Laura Trump on my show, The Sage Steele Show, she taught me about courage. And she sacrificed a lot. And so I think that's the key. I'm going to talk about this today when I get on stage.

And thank you for having me up there about fear. And it's real and why we hold back. I know every person here has had to push through fear probably just to be here. And we got to keep pushing through. And it's been amazing to put the pink jacket on with Laura Trump and everybody.

And or when your boss is telling you you have to get a vaccine in order to keep your job, which is why I ended up eventually leaving ESPN. And, you know, getting the shot at that time because I was afraid. So that's what I want to focus on today is just pushing through that fear. But I do think it's personal. It's just like raising kids. There's no one way to do it. There's no mandate.

There's no book. There's no easy way. You're going to sacrifice. So the question that I had to ask myself, what was I willing to sacrifice? And I didn't realize that the list was a lot longer than I ever thought. It is worth it. And for me, it also came down to, yes, being an example to my kids. And my faith. And my faith has never been stronger.

And it's been really beautiful to see what happens when you let go of control. We try to control everything. And when you let go and let God, I'm standing next to Charlie Kirk right now because of that. I'm not talking about football. I'm talking about things more important than football.

Yes, please. At Sage Steele, Sage Steele Show YouTube. So I'm just learning all this YouTube stuff. I need some advice. I just dropped a great show yesterday with John Rich. I mean, a country music star. Let me tell you what he said just yesterday. He wrote a song dedicated to Diddy. That's all I'll say. Check out the show. It's John Rich.

But the best part is to be able to have conversations with people, even people you disagree with. That's what's been missing in this country, and I'm trying to help bring it back.
