Summary
Article Description
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s dating relationship continues to generate headlines in stark contrast to news that directly affects us, such as the aversion of the government shutdown and America’s growing frustration with inflation and slow economic growth. Americans want to be “inspired by a new, optimistic future,” but this won’t begin with secular culture. It must begin with spiritual rebirth, and that must begin with us as Christians.

| 0:00.0 | Greetings on this Monday, October 2nd, 2023. |
| 0:06.1 | Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. |
| 0:08.4 | I'm Chris Elkins, narrating today's article, written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim Denison. |
| 0:16.3 | Kansas City tied in Travis Kelsey caught six passes as his chiefs defeated the New York Jets last night |
| 0:22.9 | in a game that was closer than many expected. However, all eyes are on one particular fan in the |
| 0:28.7 | stands. Taylor Swift has been generating headlines for years, but now that she and Kelsey are |
| 0:34.4 | dating, or so it seems, and she is attending his games, public attention is |
| 0:39.6 | riveted on her in a whole new way. She's apparently not interested in him for his money. His |
| 0:45.6 | annual salary is $12.3 million, but her U.S. Ares tour brought in $13 million per night from ticket sales. Such numbers are unfathomable for most of us, |
| 0:57.4 | but many are just glad the government averted a shutdown that could have harmed the economy |

| 1:26.5 | Council on Foreign Relations, writes that, |
| 1:29.1 | quote, the global outlook appears bleak and it's about to get bleaker. For example, the UN's |
| 1:35.3 | most important component, the Security Council, is sidelined and will remain so, given one of its |
| 1:41.1 | veto-holding members, is waging a war that violates the UN Charter's most fundamental |
| 1:46.4 | principle." |

| 1:48.0 | Gerard Baker, editor-at-large of the Wall Street Journal, observes that the New Moral Order, |
