0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat the host and the senior content director
0:10.4	at Word on Fire. Today we're sharing the first half of a recent discussion that Bishop
0:16.0	Aaron had with Dave Rubin. Bishop Aaron has talked with Dave a couple of times in the past,
0:21.9	both times for Dave's own show titled The Rubin Report, but this time he invited Dave to come
0:28.4	to his neck of the woods to peer on Bishop Aaron Presents, which is his ongoing series where
0:34.4	Bishop Aaron shares conversation with intellectual movers and shakers and cultural influencers.
0:40.4	This was a discussion moderated by Word on Fire Institute's director Jared Zimmerer,
