Summary
Today, Rishi Sunak will become Britain’s third prime minister in seven weeks. As the New York Times reports, Sunak will also be the youngest prime minister in two centuries and the first person of Hindu faith to achieve the UK’s highest elected office. Additionally, his personal wealth is more than double that of King Charles III. Critics fear that Sunak cannot identify with the people he will lead and the rising challenges they face—which leads to an interesting correlation on the question of America’s wokeism.

We are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 520. There is no doubt we face profound economic challenges. We now need stability |
| 1:15.0 | and unity, and I will make it my utmost priority to bring my party and country together. This was |
| 1:21.9 | the promise made Monday by Rishi Sunak, who today will become Britain's third prime minister in seven weeks. |

| 1:58.8 | Palace. Here's why this is a problem. Sunak has ascended to |
