| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, January 6, 2022. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events |
| 0:12.0 | from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.1 | We are now at January the 6th of the year 2022 and that means the one year anniversary of what happened |
| 0:20.8 | in Washington, D.C. most specifically at the United States Capitol on January the 6th, |
