Summary
John and Maria reflect on the commemorations of January 6th. They outline how that event marked who we are, highlighting the summer riots and breakdown in cities that led up to the incident in Washington D.C.
Then Maria asks John for further explanation of a BreakPoint commentary on the Woke influence in the renovations of the Notre Dame cathedral in France.
To close, John explains to Maria how marriage is a reality, like gravity, in our world as Maria reflects on recent high profile divorces and the way marriage is being explained in their wake.

| 1:50.6 | the day before Christmas. And we break that rule as well. We had them up really early this year. |
