0:00.0	It's Monday, January 6, 2025.
0:07.8	I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:14.2	Well, even as Americans and others around the world are now turning from the holiday observance,
0:19.7	especially with Christmas and the new year.
0:22.7	We're also looking at the fact that giant headlines emerged over the period between when we
