| 0:07.8 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | Well, the other shoe dropped. |
| 0:15.4 | In other words, Vice President Kamala Harris came right out yesterday and said that she |
| 0:19.7 | would be for the Senate eliminating the filibuster rule in order to pass what she calls abortion |
