To update what i said a moment ago, i should have said the Vice President and mrs. Biden were away. Do we know if there were any bullets that struck the residence . Reporter at this point, joy, we dont know that. But this was outside of the driveway that goes to his home. You cant see the home from the foot of the driveway.

Theyre coming at this many from above, trying to come at them under the ground. I dont believe there is any longterm Permanent Peace solution. Think pursuing that is a wrong thing to do. I think everybody day supporting them with our 100 backing is the way to proceed in the middle east with regard to israel. Senator cruz, i want to stay in the regio
