Summary
With Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden selecting Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, the election season is in full swing. And as John Stonestreet and Shane Morris discuss, the Democratic Party is in full swing as well–to the left, especially issues such as abortion and transgender rights.
John and Shane also discuss the recently crafted “Philadelphia Statement” on civil discourse and strengthening liberal democracy; how Americans dislike abortion, yet are uncomfortable about making it illegal; a new study revealing that more than 90 percent of doctors in Belgium favor infanticide in certain cases; another study revealing those who follow social media for their news are less informed than those who don’t, except for their knowledge of conspiracy theories.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network. |
| 0:03.0 | This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris, and I'm here with John Stone Street talking about the stories of the week |
| 0:20.8 | from a Christian worldview perspective. And John, just so you know, I plan on going into isolation on a |
| 0:26.8 | small island I know of here on the west coast of Florida until this election is over. And then |
| 0:31.9 | afterwards I'll kind of catch up on the highlights real because I honestly can't take an election in a year |
| 0:37.3 | like 2020. It's just too much. |
| 0:40.5 | Well, I think that's a feeling a lot of people have. I think there's a sense I was |
| 0:45.4 | interviewed earlier even today for a broadcast that will air on another radio program in a couple |
| 0:52.0 | weeks. And they played some man on the street interviews or people on the |
| 0:55.8 | street interviews. I'll be politically correct there. And, you know, there is this sense. Like, |
| 1:00.7 | you know, you feel like you can't say what you believe out loud or you'll get canceled by one |
| 1:05.0 | side or the other. You know, we face kind of an impossible choice, you know, all kinds of things. |
| 1:13.0 | But, you know, the reminder this week by the pick Joe Biden of Kamala Harris' is his running mate is really just a reminder of, you know, |
| 1:19.9 | what the center portion of the Democratic Party is right now. And this is where they are. |

| 1:28.3 | was probably the media reaction where Kamala Harris is someone who's not been without controversy |
| 1:33.4 | in her time in office. And of course, she goes back to, you know, police work. She was a DA. And she was |
| 1:39.5 | pretty fierce in her prosecution. And so she's not, you know, on paper, she's not on the right side of a lot of |
| 1:45.1 | the debates on, or the left side, I should say, who many would consider the correct side of |
| 1:50.4 | many of the debates going on this year. And yet here she is at the bottom of the ticket here |
| 1:55.6 | for the Democratic nominee for president. That really surprises me. But I also see a really |
