0:00.0	It's Tuesday, May 27, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news
0:11.7	and events from a Christian worldview. Some years ago, national security experts ask an interesting
0:17.1	question, an ominous question, is jihad eventually going to reach American shores?
0:23.2	You have to keep that in mind when you consider what took place outside an event where two
0:28.5	staffers at the Israeli embassy to the United States were shot dead. It is a young man and a young
0:33.7	woman who happened also to be a young couple, and we are now told that the young man,
0:39.4	Yaron Lyshinsky, had intended in just coming days to extend a wedding proposal to Sarah Milgram.
0:47.3	But now they are both dead, killed as they were leaving a Jewish museum.

1:39.5	revealed in all of this is that protecting diplomatic personnel like this is very, very difficult.
1:45.7	In a city like Washington, there is a great deal of security.
1:49.3	But when it comes to moving staffers, for example, out in the community, as the Israeli government
1:54.6	said, there is no way we can have two security officers with every member of the embassy staff at all times. As they're going out in public,
2:03.6	as they're going to the grocery store, it just becomes impossible. It shows a vulnerability in
2:08.6	free societies. This is one of the big issues that arose in particular when the war on terror
