0:00.0	It's Monday, November 14, 2022.
0:07.9	I'm Albert Moulier, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from
0:12.2	a Christian worldview.
0:13.9	5049, that is the current count in the United States Senate, and by any measure, it means
0:18.7	that the Democrats will continue to have a thin majority and thus control of the United
