You're listening to Breakpoint this week. I'm Katie Faust, and today we're going to talk through

some of the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. We're going to cover the

hullabaloo around Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, Jim Acosta's AI interview with a now

long-dead, Parkland shooter victim, a recategorization of the definition of death,

and Trump's IVF non-order. So stay with us. We've got a lot to cover this week. We're glad you're

with us. Stick around. Well, it's great to be with you guys today, joined obviously by John Stone Street, and we are going to do some rapid fire news headlines just to get the Christian worldview take.

So the first one we're going to talk about is what the rest of the world is talking about.

And that is American Eagle. Yes, it has been at the top of your news feed, and we have seen takes from the left and the right.

But here's the lowdown.

Sidney Sweeney appeared in an ad to advertise denim.

And it created an absolute feeding frenzy, especially on behalf of the left, because they were using this play on word.

These are my jeans, but also jeans are passed down.

And because she was blonde, white, blue-eyed, there were people on the left that completely freaked out.

And they're like, oh my gosh, this is Nazi propaganda.

And the Guardian was talking about how this is really promoting eugenics.

And it was really, really top of the news headline, especially on X, where I spend way too much time.

So, John, did we just see a shocking example of the Nazis return to the United States in 2025 through American Eagle denim products?

Well, first of all, Katie, great to have you back on the program.

Secondly, I feel like you are getting more and more and more comfortable in this role. And at the same time, that is more and more uncomfortable for me. And this is an example of this, because I had just committed myself not to talk about this story. Like, I don't want to talk about this story. I don't want to talk about this story. But I think we have to. And here's why. First of all, if there is an example, a better example of everything is politicized in America, I don't know what it is. Right. I mean, when you get to kind of this level of blue gene ad, then, you know, come on, like, really.

Second, it's an example of the kind of gaslighting.

Maria and I talked about this recently, and I'll get to that in the second.

It also, to me, is an example kind of what a lot of people are talking about.
