| 0:00.0 | I am blown away at the number of, I mean, Dave and Russell, thousands of DMs that I've gone, |
| 0:08.2 | and who am I, about people just saying I've never had, you know, faith strong enough to talk about |
| 0:16.4 | out loud. I've never read the Bible. It is driving me to do that. So yes, there's going to be this, but first I get chills talking about this because I've never read the Bible. It is driving me to do that. So, yes, there's going to be this, but first, I get chills talking about this because I've |
| 0:24.7 | never seen privately or publicly so many people refer to God. |
| 0:30.1 | Someone said to me the other day, someone came up to me at the airport and said, |
| 0:33.5 | Dave, he ran turning point, but this might be a tipping point. |
| 0:37.0 | And I thought that that was, I thought that that was pretty. When I first met him at that RNC, and like, I've just become Christian, like a couple of months, I'm all bewildered. And I was reading the Bible in one year. And so I was in the book of Romans. And he was like, so what are you asking me about my Christianity? And I'm like, yeah, I'm in the book of Romans.

| 0:54.4 | He's like, well, that's the constitution. |
| 0:56.1 | That's the Christian constitution. |
| 0:57.6 | And I was like, oh, I thought about that when I was reading it and stuff. |

| 1:13.0 | Steele and Russell Brand. Obviously, we don't really need a rundown for a show like this. We |
| 1:19.0 | all know what's going on here. Unfortunately, Sage was not with us last week, having gotten |
| 1:25.0 | married only barely two weeks ago, which was so profoundly wonderful |
| 1:30.0 | and such an incredible celebration of love. |
| 1:31.8 | And I was so honored to be there, it was just great. |
| 1:34.3 | And then obviously a few days later, the world has just changed clearly for the worse. |
| 1:39.4 | Russell and I were on air doing the show when we found out that Charlie had been shot. We did not know that |
| 1:46.6 | he was dead yet, although it did not look good. And we were kind of just working through it in |
| 1:52.8 | real time. And I guess guys, maybe the best way to kick off the show today is because we do this |
