| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, February 26, 2006. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | Well, the President's State of the Union Address continues to be one of the primary issues of public debate, |
| 0:20.0 | and as we discussed right after the President gave his speech, it was very clear that continues to be one of the primary issues of public debate. |
| 0:26.6 | And as we discussed, right after the president gave his speech, it was very clear that the president had given, first of all, an historically long address by most records, the longest yet |

| 1:29.6 | that in his own words, not a single Democrat would stand, he simply cried out, these people |
| 1:35.5 | are crazy. And if you're looking at the president's face, here's the amazing thing. It was pretty clear |
| 1:39.8 | this was a statement of conviction. This was the president of the United States making a moral judgment. |
| 1:45.8 | You people are crazy. |
| 1:47.0 | Now, some people will question the politics of that. |
