| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, August 9, 2022. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.3 | There was headline news last night, but it didn't come because of a statement from the White |
| 0:17.8 | House. |
| 0:18.8 | It didn't come because of a statement from the President of the United States. |

| 1:25.9 | as his beautiful home, Marilogo, quote, is currently under siege, rated and occupied by a large |

| 1:33.1 | The former president and his family were not in residence there at Marilago, |
| 1:38.0 | but rather were reportedly that their residence at Bedminster in New Jersey. |
