Ann Vandersteel is a powerhouse in investigative journalism, constitutional advocacy, and on-the-ground reporting, fearlessly tackling the most pressing issues threatening American sovereignty and freedom. As the host of Steel News, she is more than a journalist—she is a war correspondent in the battle for truth, a dynamic public speaker, and a relentless documentarian exposing government overreach, corruption, and globalist agendas. From her hard-hitting coverage of J6 entrapment and the so-called "fedsurrection" to her frontline reporting on the invasion at the U.S. southern border with Operation Burning Edge, Ann immerses herself in the heart of every story. Her dedication to patriot and medical freedom movements has taken her across
 
America and beyond, ensuring that no critical issue goes unreported. With a solutions-driven approach, she delivers not just the facts, but the path forward to restoring the republic. As the Chair and Co-Founder of American Made Foundation, Ann is leading the charge for government accountability and constitutional restoration. Through American Made, she has played a pivotal role in supporting victims of Hurricane Helene, advocating for wrongfully incarcerated J6 defendants, and exposing unconstitutional government actions. Her work is centered on education, action, and defending the rights of the people. Previously, as the host of SteelTruth, Ann built a reputation as a trailblazer in alternative media, earning recognition as an uncompromising investigative journalist who refuses to shy away from stories ignored or manipulated by the mainstream press. Her bold, segmented format covers a wide spectrum of issues—from breaking news and financial warfare to health freedom and expert interviews.
 
Ann is known for her integrity, fearlessness, and elite network of sources, regularly featuring A-list guests and high-profile insiders. She attracts whistleblowers, intelligence officials, and political operatives committed to exposing corruption, including former NSA General Bill Binney, Trump advisors Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, Kari Lake, and border security expert Michael Yon. Her roster also includes former DOJ attorney Sidney Powell, FBI Director Kash Patel, General Michael Flynn, political strategist Corey Lewandowski, filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, and many more.
