| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, October 14, 2024. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.9 | Well, here we are barely three weeks before the presidential election. |
| 0:17.8 | And as you know by now, that's just about all the country can talk about. |
| 0:22.0 | And for good reason, we're not talking about an insignificant issue here. |
