| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Breakpoint, a daily look and an ever-changing culture through the lens of |
| 0:04.4 | unchanging truth. |
| 0:05.4 | For the Colston Center, I'm John Stone Street. |
| 0:09.4 | Believe it or not, this past month, Cake Artist and Business Owner Jack Phillips was back in court. |
