Yesterday two terrorists murdered 14 people in a gun-free zone in San Bernardino, California, and my heart certainly goes out to the residents of San Bernardino, all of California, and all of this country. The President's response today, after revelations that these people had been radicalized and had traveled to the Middle East recently was that he felt they had ``mixed motives.''

Two, do you believe that this is the last time we will see radical Islamic terrorism on our shores? ____________________
