[ BLANK_AUDIO ] Good morning everybody. I wanna say a few words about the explosions that occurred here in New York City and New Jersey, and the other device that had been found in New Jersey. I've been monitoring the situation closely. And receiving frequent updates from my team. And I've just been briefed again by FBI Director Comey. In addition I've had the chance to speak with governors Cuomo and Christie as well as mayor de Blasio. We've seen what was apparently a pipe bomb go off in New Jersey. In sea side park where it could have seriously injured Our US marines and spectators who were there for a race. The bombing in the Chelsea neighborhood here in New York injured more than 2 dozen people. We are extremely fortunate and grateful that no Nobody was killed and our prayers go out to all of those who have been injured. We want to wish them a speedy recovery. The FBI is investigating the Minnesota incident as a potential act of terrorism. We will direct the full resources of the federal government to make sure that the investigation goes forward. Aggressively. At this point, we see no connection between that incident and what happened here in New York and New Jersey. Our attention there is on the people who were injured. And again, we are very grateful that no one lost their life. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
