| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Breakpoint this week where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:06.8 | Today we're going to talk about the Declaration of Independence, what Thomas Jefferson said and how he was acting when he wrote it. |
| 0:13.4 | Namely, we're going to talk about some of the difficulties that people have celebrating the Declaration and the Fourth of July when we consider our country's past when it comes |
| 0:21.2 | to slavery and how we treated African Americans. We're also going to talk about marijuana legalization |
| 0:26.9 | and the increasing number of studies that seem to link marijuana use specifically in teenagers |
| 0:31.8 | to psychosis and suicidal ideations. We have a lot to talk about today, but we're so glad you're with us. |
| 0:38.1 | Thanks for listening. |
| 0:41.2 | John, happy belated Fourth of July. I think I forgot to wish you that last week, or maybe I did |

| 1:11.6 | So a friend of mine, we went over to their house. They have this wonderful vantage point on the |
| 1:16.5 | west side of the city that looks across the whole thing. And we were able to see both the big |
| 1:21.5 | fireworks shows at like the Broadmoor and the baseball game and the soccer game and also just |
| 1:27.4 | a nonstop flurry of illegal fireworks. |
| 1:31.5 | I mean, they may have been legal because it was hard to see kind of where they're at in the city, |
| 1:35.8 | but it's like nonstop for two and a half hours and you get to see the whole thing. |
| 1:39.6 | So they're not legal in the state, but in El Paso County, you can? |
| 1:43.1 | They're not legal in the city of Colorado Springs, but they're legal in unincorporated El Paso |
