0:00.0	It's Friday, April 19, 2024. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing. A daily
0:10.6	analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. Does it matter whether Donald
0:16.4	Trump or Joe Biden is elected president of the United States in November? Well, interestingly,
0:22.0	right now, according to the stock market market it doesn't appear to matter all that much big
0:26.0	interesting issue here the New York Times has the interest Jeff Summer wrote the article
0:31.2	the headline was this Trump or, the stock market doesn't care.

1:21.8	That would have made a big difference when it came to the American economy and the a pretty between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. At that point, the investor class
1:34.0	was pretty much interested in moving past Jimmy Carter.
1:38.0	Ronald Reagan benefited from all of that.
1:40.7	And then, of course, you had changes
1:41.8	in terms of the market environment. You had the development of individual retirement accounts. More Americans got more deeply involved in the stock market. But then you fast forward to 2004. And I mean mean there's a lot of difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
