The following is a transcript excerpt of Ben Shapiro’s recent conversation with Russell Brand in the latest episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ben-shapiro-with-russell-brand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Search,</a>” now available on DailyWire+.
Russell Brand: The C. S. Lewis aphorism or quote that you used reminded me of Sartre’s idea of “bad faith argument” that you’re not entering the conversation in a spirit of good faith, of open heartedness — that already, an agenda is being pursued. And I enjoy C. S. Lewis’s writing, in particular, because he was an intellectual and because he was an atheist and because he became a man of faith. And it was imaginative and redemptive and beautiful and sort of playful the way that he dealt with Christ and God and, you know, comedy actually in “The Screwtape Letters”. I saw some of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/the-screwtape-letters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">those videos</a>, and I enjoyed those that you made.
