0:00.0	It's Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. Well by now you know
0:14.5	of course that this is a presidential election year in the United States, here we
0:19.1	go again. But my purpose today is not so much to talk about the American presidential election.
0:24.8	There will be plenty to talk about and plenty soon.
