Russell Brand told me something in this conversation I wasn’t expecting — and I have to share it. He’s facing serious charges in the UK. He’s become a Christian. And the cynics are saying he’s faking it for the trial. I heard the same thing said about me my whole life. So I sat down with him and let him talk. We covered his new book, his faith, the dark side of Hollywood and Epstein, why Gen Z is finally turning toward something real, and the system he says wants every one of us “switched off.” Innocent until proven guilty — that’s where I stand, always. But what he had to say about culture, power, and Christ? You need to hear this one for yourself.
