| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, April 29, 2006. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | History was made yesterday as King Charles III of the United Kingdom, stood in the U.S. House of Representatives speaking to what is defined as a |
| 0:22.5 | joint meeting of Congress, and that's only the second time in all of American history that a |
| 0:28.3 | British monarch has done so. So let's just do a little bit of math here. So going back to 1776 |
| 0:33.1 | and going forward, how many British monarchs have actually ruled during that time? The magic answer is 10. |
| 0:38.4 | There have been 10 crowned heads of Europe between George III in 1776 and Charles the third in |
| 0:46.1 | 2006. |
| 0:48.3 | Okay, another number. |
| 0:49.3 | How many reigning monarchs, how many kings or queens of England have visited the United States of America in person? |
| 0:56.1 | The magic answer is three, only three. King George the sixth, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth, the second, |
| 1:02.3 | and her son, King Charles III. And so one of the things we need to note is that throughout |
| 1:08.0 | most of American history, there was no British monarch who set foot on American soil. |
| 1:12.6 | Now, you can understand some historical reasons why that might be the case, but one of the things that simply has to be remarked as a matter of historical consequence is that during the period between the last part of the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century, |
| 1:27.8 | the United States of America and the United Kingdom grew together into what was understood |
| 1:33.2 | as to be an absolutely vital political and cultural union described by the late British Prime |
| 1:40.9 | Minister Winston Churchill as the English-speaking peoples. |
| 1:45.3 | Now, the technical term for that is the Anglosphere, that is the sphere in which English is |
| 1:50.6 | spoken. The English-speaking peoples, once again, as I mentioned, Winston Churchill had an |
| 1:55.6 | American mother. He had an aristocratic British father. He was actually born in Blenheim Palace, speaking of Winston Churchill, as a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough. It is the only house in Britain that is called a palace that is not a royal residence that tells you something about the significance of the Duke of Marlborough and his house. |
| 2:16.0 | And so it is just really important to recognize that what we take for |
| 2:19.0 | granted right now, and that is the incredibly close relationship between the United States and the |
