Colorado is trying to silence free speech again. A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns, even if they're biologically inaccurate. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian bookstore and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them. They appealed the ruling, and with ADF's help, they'll keep fighting another attempt by Colorado to skirt the First Amendment. Learn more about how you can support free speech by texting WIRE to 83848 or going to joinadf.com/wire.

Allegations have been made about you.
Russell Brand· Guest0:31
Now- Can we talk about that or not? One thing I've always known about myself is that I was motivated by some sort of culturally born appetite for fame, celebrity, success- Mm-hmm ... power, and yet I also had what feels like the, the spiritual equivalent of a pathology towards mission.
Matt Fradd· Host0:49
Yeah.
Russell Brand· Guest0:50
Something that you are gonna do this no matter what.
Matt Fradd· Host0:53
How are you standing upright and not in constant panic, given the fact that you have to go and stand trial in a few months?
Russell Brand· Guest0:59
'Cause I believe in God.
Matt Fradd· Host1:01
[laughs] Right. Can you back up to h- what led to this encounter with Christ?
Russell Brand· Guest1:07
As a crack addict and a heroin addict, really what you're trying to do is defibrillate the dead world, the dead world- Mm ... into some sort of state of meaning, some sort of vitality.
Matt Fradd· Host1:15
I would like to ask you, if it's not too personal a question, why you're not a Catholic.
Russell Brand· Guest1:19
When I'm taking communion at the Protestant church that I go to, I, like, want it to be his flesh- Mm ... and I want it to be his blood.
