| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, February 1st, 2022. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.7 | Today we're going to talk about, among other things, pig transplants into humans. |
| 0:18.1 | We're going to talk about marijuana and we're going to talk about the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. |
