The israelhamas war triggering a spike in attacks on our troops in the region. A u. S. Centcom spokesperson telling, fox news, that two dozen u. S. Service members were actually injured last week from drone and Rocket Attacks on american bases in iraq and syria. All of the injured personnel have since returned to duty. The pentagon is now bolstering u. S. Resources in the region, both for protection as well as as a deterrent. And we are posturing Additional Forces in the region for two reasons. One, again, to bolster our broader regional deterrence efforts. Two, to send a clear message that we will protect our forces. We will always maintain the inherent right of selfdefense. And if there is a response, should we choose to have one, we would do that at a time and place of our choosing. The white house, meantime is also developing Contingency Plans to evacuate americans from The Middle East in case the israelhamas war spreads.

Very much about a desire for peace in israel. Also, of course, a condemnation of those attacks by hamas on the israeli people. Im going to step out of the w at what is going on here right now. As you mentioned, this is the second day we have seen such proisrael rallies taking place here in San Francisco caneere e some security measures here just in case a counter protest takes place. Propalestinian demonstrator show up. They do have some barriers up here.

One in proisrael, the other propalestinian. So far, again, no sign of counterdemonstrations. This rally organized byny here with family back in israel. Others were just simply horrified by the images circulating on social media and being broadcast on the news o people being killed or wh one of the organizers had to say.
Now that weve seen the memo, the big question is, where does this leave the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation . Heres a tweet that the president put out this weekend. The memo totally vindicates trump in probe, but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. There was no collusion and there was no obstruction, the world now used because of one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. This is an american disgrace. Congressman stuart, does the g. O. P. Memo vindicate the president , does it end the need for the special prosecutors investigation . Congressman stewart no, it doesnt end that made it all. I think it would be a mistake for anyone to suggest that the special counsel shouldnt complete his work. I support his work, i want him to finish it. I hope he finishes it as quickly as possible. This memo has frankly nothing at all to do with a special counsel. It was one of the criticisms of people last week and before that who had never seen the memo who sa
