| 0:07.5 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing. |
| 0:10.0 | A daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.2 | Well, as Americans are looking to the 2024 presidential election, |
| 0:18.6 | and predictably right now there's little discussion in terms of the media other than that. You come to understand |
