The world is still in mourning following this weekend's terror attack targeting a Hanukkah celebration on Australia's Bondi Beach, leaving at least fifteen dead and many others wounded. It was the worst attack targeting Jews since the Hamas October 7th massacre that triggered Israel's war in Gaza. In a country with stringent gun laws, many people have wondered how this occurred. It's also raised questions about whether countries are doing enough to address antisemitism. Jewish and Israel advocate, and Founder of Mor Media Group, Mor Greenberg,  joins the Rundown to discuss how Australia and other nations need to do more to protect Jewish people, and she shares her personal connection to some of the victims of this weekend's horrible attack. The push to make more prescription drugs in the U.S. is accelerating, with new pharmaceutical manufacturing investments now expanding in various states including North Carolina. After years of shortages tied to overseas production, the Trump administration is leaning on incentives, tariffs, and faster approvals to bring drugmaking back home. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary joins the Rundown to explain how quickly new facilities can come online, and what it could mean for supply stability and drug prices.  Plus, commentary by a former investment banker and author of ‘You Will Own Nothing,' Carol Roth.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Sunday evening, a radicalized father and son targeted the annual “Chanukah by the Sea” event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach and killed at least 15, after firing some 50 shots at the 1,000-strong crowd. Another 38 people were wounded, including two police officers. This morning, Australian officials confirmed they believe it was “a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State.” Horovitz updates us on this confirmation and other newly uncovered information about the gunmen's plot. Newly discovered dashcam footage shows one of the increasingly exposed examples of ordinary citizens willing to take on the attackers. Boris and Sofia Gurman confronted the father and son gunmen after the murderous pair parked their ISIS-flag-draped car. Both Gurmans were shot dead. We hear other moving stories of valor. In the wake of the attack — the second-worst mass shooting in Australia’s history -- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pushing for stricter gun control. Yesterday, Albanese rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that his government’s recognition of Palestinian statehood earlier this year “pours fuel” on an “antisemitic fire.” Horovitz explains how many Australian Jews feel government authorities have not done enough to stamp out hatred of Jews in Australia, which has allowed it to fester in the aftermath of October 7. Among his proposals, spelled out in an op-ed on The Times of Israel, is for a large-scale educational reboot to teach children tolerance alongside reading, writing and arithmetic. Finally, we turn to the heartbreaking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The Reiners’ son, Nick Reiner, was in police custody Monday for what investigators believe was the fatal stabbing of his parents at their Los Angeles home a day earlier, police said. Horovitz shares until-now unpublished pieces from a The Guardian interview with the director-actor dating from February 2024, in which Reiner stated, "Right now the world is shifting away from Israel – and that to me is very sad."

Australia suffered one of the deadliest massacres in its modern history on Sunday when two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish celebration at Bondi beach in Sydney. At least 16 people died, including one of the alleged gunmen, with more than 40 wounded. The victims include a 10-year-old child, a Holocaust survivor and a London-born rabbi. The alleged gunmen behind the attack are a father and son, who are suspected of using legally obtained firearms to commit the massacre. One of the suspects, Naveed Akram, 24, was known to New South Wales police and security agencies. The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is facing questions about gun law reform and security failings as the country reels from the attack.

President Trump attended the historic 126th Army-Navy game over the weekend. As Commander-in-Chief, President Trump joined thousands of Cadets, Midshipmen, and other Patriotic fans to celebrate the unparalleled dedication, discipline, and valor of the United States Military Academy and Naval Academy teams. The Navy did beat the Army 17 to 16 in a very close game. They will receive the Commander In Chief trophy in the new year for their accomplishment. A Jewish community in Australia was attacked by a gunman as they gathered to celebrate Hanukkah at Bondi Beach. The attack took 15 lives as the community was gathered to share "joy and light." Alan Dershowitz joins me to discuss the rise of anti-semitism around the world and how calls to "globalize the intifada" is giving extremists a license to kill Jewish people. Anti-semitic speech is poisoning factions within both parties with the likes of Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders, and right-wing extremism from characters like Nick Fuentes. House Democrats are still trying to drum up Epstein noise. Democrats released a photo of President Trump with Hawaiian Tropic models with their faces covered and tried to pin it to the Epstein case. Dershowitz states plainly Democrats are selectively releasing photos to create a false narrative. Alan unpacks the cartel boats strikes in the Caribbean and their legal authority as military targets.

With the mass shooting in Bondi Beach, Australia, I'm doing an emergency broadcast. During a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia, two gunmen opened fire and murdered 16 innocent people. We need to take drastic action against antisemitism, especially those like Candace Owens who spew antisemitic conspiracy theories.

AP correspondent Laurence Brooks reports on proposals for stricter gun laws in Australia after Sunday's deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.

Leaders of Australia's Jewish community have condemned the mass shooting on Bondi Beach. The shooting took place as people gathered for Chanukah by the Sea, a community event to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah. 15 people are dead and one of the two gunmen was also killed. A statement from the Jewish Council of Australia says the organisation is horrified and shaken. Jillian Segal is Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. She's been speaking to SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism following a mass shooting that targeted Jews in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah, reflecting on how hatred now crosses traditional political lines and sharing his own family’s experiences. He argues that social media has become a primary accelerant—profiting from outrage, trapping people in media silos, and rewarding the most extreme voices—while insisting that free speech does not guarantee unlimited reach. The conversation widens to the urgent need for tech reform, growing support for restricting smartphones for kids, and public backlash to Donald Trump’s hands-off approach to regulating AI. Chuck also examines Trump’s foreign policy actions, economic excuses, and erosion of constitutional norms, warning that the U.S. is drifting toward “competitive authoritarianism.” Despite the dangers of normalization and resignation, the episode closes with a reminder that America still has the capacity to push back and reclaim democratic guardrails. Nick Troiano, executive director of Unite America, joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation about why America’s political system feels increasingly broken—and what reforms could actually fix it. Troiano explains how ranked-choice voting and primary reform can weaken the grip of the two-party system, produce more representative outcomes, and give voters in places like Alaska and Louisiana more meaningful choices. They unpack why partisan primaries reward conflict over problem-solving, how safe districts all but decide elections before voters reach the general, and why unaffiliated voters are often locked out of taxpayer-funded contests. The discussion expands to the broader reform landscape, from redistricting and campaign finance to unconventional ideas like compulsory representation and even randomly selected legislatures. Troiano argues that periods of political turmoil and inequality have historically led to democratic breakthroughs—and that today’s moment may demand the same. As power continues to consolidate and parties work to protect their advantage, this episode explores whether structural reform, rather than new personalities, is the only path to a healthier, more functional democracy. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the political and cultural impact of The Simpsons, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and recaps the latest in college football.

Actor, activist, and “Being Jewish” podcast host Jonah Platt joins Mosheh for a wide-ranging conversation about Jewish identity, politics, culture, and the intense pressures facing American Jews after October 7th. Platt reflects on the fear, confusion, and polarization running through the community, and why so much of today's antisemitism shows up not through slurs or symbols, but through omissions, framing, and coded language around Israel. He argues that this moment requires clarity, context, and calm engagement — not panic and not denial. The episode also explores the creation of Platt's podcast 'Being Jewish,' which aims to expand how people understand Jewishness — as a people, culture, history, and set of values, not just a religion. Platt takes listeners inside Hollywood, an industry where many Jews have had to historically hide their identity. He also talks about the impact of October 7, and why some are now pushing forward Jewish and Israeli stories despite fear of backlash. Also in the interview: Breaking down where Jewish institutions have fallen short in educating younger generations about Israel, and how better storytelling could counter both misinformation and apathy. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel.

For many Christians, the divide between the church and the Jewish people feels ancient and immovable. But every divide has a story - and far too often, it's a story Christians never heard.  In this episode, we sit down with long-time friend and ministry leader Murray Tilles of Light of Messiah Ministries to uncover why Jesus remains such a point of pain for many Jewish families, and why the church's calling toward Israel is more urgent than ever. Murray shares his own journey from a deeply religious Jewish upbringing in North Carolina to the moment he prayed “in Jesus' name” - words he never imagined he would say.  His story isn't abstract.  It's threaded with family tension, synagogue life, anti-Semitism, and the surprising power of Scripture to reshape identity. And it's a window into the very real barriers Jewish people face when confronted with a “Christian” Jesus who feels historically disconnected from their people. Together, we explore why the New Testament is far more Jewish than most Christians realize, why Paul's “to the Jew first” mission still matters today, and how today's rising anti-Semitism is creating unexpected openness among Jewish communities - if the church knows how to build trust.  Murray helps believers move from abstract support to real relational bridge-building, from sentiment to substance, from generic evangelism to meaningful connection rooted in God's covenant faithfulness. Key Takeaways Many Jewish people associate Jesus with centuries of suffering done “in His name,” making belief in Him feel like a betrayal of their people. Murray's journey began not with pressure but with Scripture - especially Isaiah 53 - leading him into a relationship with Israel's own Messiah. Paul's model was never “either Israel or the nations.” His strategy was always “to the Jew first,” expecting the church to carry that mantle. Replacement theology remains one of the biggest obstacles preventing Christians from seeing Scripture as one unified story. Today's cultural moment - including post-October 7 Jewish vulnerability - has opened new doors for relationship and witness. Simple gestures - apples and honey, Hanukkah blessings, relationship-first approaches - create space for meaningful spiritual conversations. The continued existence of the Jewish people is itself a testimony to God's covenant promises and ongoing plan for Israel and the world.
