| 0:07.8 | I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from |
| 0:12.2 | a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.4 | Well, it was until it wasn't. There was, for a matter of days |
| 0:17.8 | a federal disinformation governance board within the Federal Government's |
| 0:22.1 | Department of Homeland Security. |
