The White House national security# spokesman, John Kirby, responded today.

JOHN KIRBY, NSC Coordinator For Strategic# Communications: We take seriously our## bilateral relationship with Israel.

We don't officials are.

That wouldn't be our business.# But we have strong relationships with them.

And it's important now that those# relationships continue to improve and grow,## right -- and particularly in this# time of crisis.

The Labor Department's latest look at inflation# is out, and it's a mixed picture.

Consumer## prices climbed four-tenths of a percent# in September from a month earlier driven## in part by housing costs.

But that hike# was less than the increase of six-tenths## of a percent in August from July.

The core# inflation rate, not counting food and fuel,## rose 4.1 percent from a year ago.

That's# the smallest increase in two years.

The Social Security Administration has announced# that, based on the inflation numbers, benefits## will increase by 3.2 percent next year.

That's# much less than this year's increase of nearly## 9 percent.

Starting in January, benefit checks# will go up by more than $50 a month on average.

CHRIS KHALIL, Store Co-Owner's Son: I had just# gone to the gym.

And he calls me freaking out:## "Your store hit.

Your store hit.

Your store hit."

And I just couldn't believe# it, honestly.

I'm like:## "There's a couple of stores called# Midway.

Like, I don't kn He's like: "No."

He gave me the address.

I'm like,## oh, damn, like, this really is us.
