Morning, welcome, everybody, our starting point this morning, israel mobilizing thousands of troops for a possible fullscale ground war with hamas. Violence in the region intensifying overnight. The Palestinian Militants launched hundreds of rockets into israeli territory. Air raid sirens sounding in tel aviv. Thats the very first time thats happened since the gulf war. Israelis responded by pounding hundreds of terror sites as they call them in gaza with artillery fire. Ben wedeman reporting live now from jerusalem. We know, ben, that the israelis have called up 16,000 reservists. What exactly are they going to be doing . Well, what theyll be doing is heading down into the area around gaza. Very similar to what we saw in 2008, 2009, when they had a similar outbreak of violence between the two sides. We also know that theres a lot of heavy armor, lots of tanks being transported to the area around gaza, as well, for a possible ground incursion. But what we saw back in 20082009, was that
Hideout. All that, plus the powerhouse roundtable. And that nobel prize stunner here today. All of you are telling us and all of the evidence coming in this week is proving that point. Government now shut down for at least two weeks. Americans face the risk of default. Right now, hopes for a deal to avert that cat strophe rest with two leaders that havent always been on speaking terms. Starting with abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl. Jon, the president s talks with speaker of the house collapsed friday. This Senate Leader negotiation is the only game in town. Reporter thats right. Its the only game in town. A game thats not going well. The two men are trying to craft an agreement that would keep the government open and postpone default until november 1st. Republicans have given up almost all of the demands that led to this crisis, major changes to obama care are not even on the table right now. But the talks broke down yesterday, over democratic demands from harry reid
I now recognize senator klobuchar, and before we start her clock, let me express my appreciation to her for the work shes done i think really leading this committee on synthetic drugs, bath salts and so forth and trying to improve the scheduling response to that. Senator klobuchar. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman, and thank you for holding that allday meeting yesterday with senator portman about addiction and the work that needs to be done.

Question in the back . Senator for Public Policy research. What are your thoughts on how conservatives should address the changing demographics of the United States . It isnt the same as goldwater and reagans running time. If you look at the results of the 2012 president ial election allowing for the fact that mitt romney was no conservative given by any stretch. 59 of the white vote but was wiped out in other ethnic and racial groups.

This election is a choice between two very different visions of america, one thats angry, afraid and based on the idea that america is fundamentally weak and in decline. The other is hopeful, generous and confident in the knowledge that
