0:00.0 | Hey folks. |
0:10.9 | So I'm doing a quick breaking news episode based on what has just happened. |
0:19.4 | There has been last night there were two Israeli embassy aides murdered in |
0:26.8 | Washington, D.C., and I lived in Washington, D.C. for eight years, so I know the area fairly well. |
0:33.2 | But two young workers at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., so these are Americans, were murdered |
