| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, October 23, 2003. I'm Albert Bowler and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | The President of the United States gave an address last Friday in which he asked for |
| 0:18.0 | over a hundred billion dollars of combined military assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. |
| 0:26.3 | There is a lot to this, but what you have here is a loaded political package, and it's at |

| 1:30.0 | and in weeks to come this is a major reshaping of the globe of the world picture |
