You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about two criminal cases out of New York City, the killing of the United Healthcare CEO and the death of a man on the New York subway,

and what the reactions to those murders tell us about our cultural moment.

We're also going to talk about a new

study that shows one in four members of Gen Z are open to the idea of a romantic relationship

with artificial intelligence. We're glad you're here with us this week. Stick around. Welcome to

Breakpoint this week. From theulson Center for Christian Worldview.

I'm Maria Baer, alongside John Stone Street, president of the Kulson Center.

John, I think we should start this week with, there's two stories that are probably the biggest

news stories of the week.

They are, but I need to interrupt you.

And here's why.

Somebody wrote in and said they are really excited for the day when you don't begin by saying, we have a need to interrupt you. And here's why. Somebody wrote in and said they are really excited

for the day when you don't begin by saying, we have a lot to get to today. So you didn't start

that way. Did I say it? I didn't say it. You didn't say it. But apparently, someone thinks you say it a lot.

This means that I've been people, that I've been doing this too long and people, I've been doing it long enough for people

to get annoyed at my idiosyncrasies, which is not good, because I'm always annoyed by them myself,

but.

By your own?

Well, no, it's just an interesting.

I just wanted to note for whoever wrote in that complaint about you saying that, that you

did not say that.
