Yasher koach. Good evening, esteemed guests. [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=4) Thanks to my parents and thanks to the seven seats that got me this far. [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=10) Yasher koach, yasher koach. Thank you. Now you'll tell us the weekly Torah portion. [0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=14) The portion of “and he folded.” Go ahead. All right. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=18) Here, here. Here. There. “And on that day, Avun realized he had climbed a tree twenty cubits tall.” [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=29) “Tall.” “Tall. And you climbed down from the tree and broke your promises and gave zero percent to the employees and 100 percent to the participants.” [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=52) Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry to the audience. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=54) Sorry to the whole audience, my voice and principles just keep changing. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=59) Very good, Ingla, very good, Ingla. Good, well done. Yasher koach. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=63) Now this is the haftarah, and now the exemption. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=67) Oh, of course, yes. The exemption, please. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=70) Thank you very much. “Clearly, I am exempt from the penalty of conscription.” [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=76) Short or long? This is simply a disgrace. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=80) They're forming a government that will give everything to the ultra-Orthodox. [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=84) Why don't you let me give you everything? [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=86) Yes, Mr. Lieberman, that really is quite a fold. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=89) You were the standard-bearer for calling to enlist the ultra-Orthodox. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=92) Oh, yes, but let's tell the truth. Why answer? Let's tell the truth plainly. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=97) They can't enlist. They can't. You know what the army is like. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=101) You go in ultra-Orthodox, you come out secular. God forbid. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=104) I don't know, you said otherwise before the election. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=106) Okay, you know what elections are like. You go in secular, you come out ultra-Orthodox. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=112) But where's Lieberman, who made zero capitulation to the ultra-Orthodox his banner? [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=117) Maybe I've changed. “They say that I am not myself, so who am I, anyway?” “Anyway.” [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=129) “Maybe I'm just some eccentric troll, You wanted change? Too bad.” [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=136) Ah, those were the days, two votes for Bel. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=140) Today we're a quarter of first graders. How lovely. Kol hakavod. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/GdWfBIBFgCI8/en/lieberman-and-the-haredi-draft-a-satire-on-election-promises?t=144) Touching, Dad, we're saddened. Yeah, so—
