Hamas, in terms of this particular gruesome attack on october 7th, we dont currently have that information. We will continue to look for it and if we find it, we will share it with you. Thank you. Looking back at the last few days, how did israel miss this attack coming . Thats a question for you to ask the Israeli Government. Obviously, the Israeli Government has placed a high premium on its Intelligence Capacity as it relates to hamas, to the west bank, to hezbollah. And why it is that they did not have warning from this is not a question i can answer from this podium. What about u. S. Intelligence . Is there anything that crosses your desk that would indicate this . We did not see anything that suggested an attack of this type was going to unfold any more than the israelis did. And your meeting within the situation room today, at some point undoubtedly the president has seen the images of the dead israelis. What has been his reaction when shown those . Youve seen him now twice. Youv

Reform. The schedule may have changed a little bit but one thing hasnt changed is that obamacare is collapsing. Rand paul challenging leadership tweeting just came from the white house and trump open to making the bill better. Its never never been about the timeline for getting the best piece of legislation that helps the most americans. Senate leaders say they hope the Congressional Budget Office will give their bill a new score after theyve made changes. They are looking at hopefully having some sort of vote after the fourth of july recess. So at this point still no timeline.
