Summary
John Stonestreet and Maria Baer note that the focus of the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is centering on the power of words: What did then-President Trump say, and did his words incite violence?
Also in this episode: Did cancel culture strike again in the case of now-former Mandalorian star Gina Carano? And for all you philosophy and worldview fans, John discusses the ironic alarm in France (the home of prominent post-modern philosophers) over the "threat" of American wokeness. They wrap up the show with their recommendations for Lent.

| 0:21.6 | Bear. Maria, welcome back to Breakpoint this week. Hi, John. I'm very happy to be here. It is an absolute |
| 0:28.3 | blizzard outside. So I'm glad that this doesn't require any on the street reporting. No on the |
| 0:34.5 | street reviewing. It's not snowing here, but it actually is pretty cold and only getting colder. I think it's called a polar vortex or something, isn't it? |
| 0:44.3 | That sounds terrible. I would not like to be a part of that. I just know what I've ever came in the sun in like four weeks. So. |
| 0:50.3 | Well, I saw on a news report, it's the Russians fault or something about Siberia and the |
| 0:55.7 | temperatures changing 90 degrees and 24 hours. |
| 0:58.7 | But what that meant was it went from negative 80 to 10 degrees and that pushed all the cold |

| 1:19.7 | Wow, that's good. |
| 1:21.1 | Yeah, I'm not sure it was actually connected at all, but we do have an impeachment trial of a second |
| 1:26.4 | impeachment trial for President Trump. And I hesitate |
