Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon is kicking off the latest volume of The Narrative! Seth joins CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to uncover why Christian humor and mockery is essential in the fight against bad ideas. They also discuss whether Elon Musk has moved to the political right and why it's okay to work with atheists even if they don't have the objective moral foundation of Christians.

Before the conversation, Aaron and Mike discuss the new Republican platform, the attempted assassination of former President Trump, and why we're excited about Ohio Senator JD Vance getting picked as the Republican nominee for Vice President.

More about Seth Dillon

Seth Dillon is the CEO of The Babylon Bee, the world's most trusted, factually accurate news source. Taking on the tone of a traditional news media publication, the Bee satirizes real-world events and public figures.

Dillon's experience with censorship and deplatforming has placed him on the front lines of the battle for free speech in the public square. He now speaks on college campuses and at conferences across the country about the effectiveness of humor, the moral imperative of mockery, and the dangers of censorship.

He occasionally signs off X (formerly Twitter) to enjoy time with his wife and two sons in Juno Beach, Florida.
