0:00.0 | This podcast is brought to you by Cyber Attacks Can Be Prevented. Checkpoint, you deserve the best security. |
0:09.9 | Even more elections. It's elections, elections, elections. This time in America, we will be talking about it all. |
0:17.6 | It's unholy. I'm Jonathan Friedland of The Guardian, usually in London, but this time |
0:22.2 | in Washington, D.C. And I'm Unleut Lefay, up Channel 12, still in Tel Aviv. |
0:27.2 | So, Jonathan. Unholy, two Jews on the news from Keshe podcast. So Jonathan there in Washington, D.C., results are in, |
0:44.2 | sort of, sort of. Yeah, I mean, isn't it funny? Because I seem to remember we said if the Israeli |
0:49.6 | elections won't be clear for weeks, months, who will even know? And actually it was pretty clear pretty quickly, |
