Thanks. Bret colonel muster in the library with gregs sculptor very possible. I want one of those for my desk. Judge jeanine yes. Bret all right. We will see you. Thanks. Breaking tonight we are following two major stories at this hour. Another setback in the search for a knew new speaker of the house with the next vote now delayed until tomorrow. And the israeli war against hamas. President biden just left on a trip to the region.
