| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, September 26, 2024. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. It would be very tempting to think, |
| 0:15.4 | perhaps very attractive to think that whatever happens at the United Nations is not of |
| 0:20.7 | importance to most of us. And you know most days that's probably true. |
| 0:25.0 | But sometimes things can happen at the United Nations |
| 0:28.0 | and in particular at the General Assembly, |
| 0:31.0 | the higher level of course is the Security Council, but in the UN General Assembly |
| 0:35.4 | you do have something like the Tower of Babel with the nations all gathered together, |
| 0:39.5 | and most of the time it is absolute air and absolute nonsense and doesn't matter much. |

| 1:27.0 | And so he did so suggesting that the world is at present in a very dangerous place and even at what he called an |
| 1:35.0 | inflection point with so many simultaneous global crises. Now the very |
| 1:40.5 | first thing we need to note is that in that statement the president can't be wrong. |
| 1:45.2 | It cannot be wrong to point to the crises that are now breaking out all over the world and of |
| 1:49.9 | course shaping so much what we have to talk about even on the briefing affecting so many |
| 1:53.8 | lives around the world and injecting so many question marks into our |
| 1:58.4 | understanding of how the world works and what it's going to look like in the |
