Well, thanks, Wolf. Thanks for having me. I mean, I agree with President Biden that it's a tragedy.
These families now are broken. I've met with Jose Andres. I used World Food Kitchen during COVID when I was the Director of Emergency Management.
I mean, what do they do? Amazing work around the world in extremely tough areas. And so, this is obviously a mistake by the Israelis. It shouldn't have happened. They're going to have to figure out how to double, triple, quadruple their efforts to make sure nothing like this happens again. But also, let's be clear, Wolf. This would not have happened had Hamas accepted the ceasefire that has now been on the table that the U.S., the Israelis, and the Qataris have proposed now for the last month that Hamas continues to say no to. And so, you know I'm hoping we can get to a ceasefire -- the six-week ceasefire in exchange for the hostages.
A 10-to-one swap is what Israel has proposed for prisoners. And yet Hamas continues to say no. But this is something that, unfortunately, we've seen happen in war. It happened also in Iraq. It happened also in Afghanistan.
But these families are irrevocably broken. Empty rooms in their house. Empty chairs at the dinner table. There's nothing you can say. For people who were doing humanitarian work and putting their lives on the line, there's nothing you can say to explain this away.

Well, listen, I don't -- I'm happy to break some news on your show to the American people. But we're still going to have elections, right? The sun is still going to rise and set, OK? It will probably still rain a lot, right? You'll still be able to buy Doritos at your local grocery store.
And to -- look, Trump's chagrin, we'll probably still have jails. And so, nothing is going to change, right? The fearmongering, all of this stuff needs to end like oh, the world is going to end if Donald Trump doesn't get reelected, you know.
This is where he's at because he's got no positive vision for the country. He's got no policies for the country. And his poll numbers are now starting to go down. Joe Biden is doing better ever since the State of the Union.

Well, look. The decision is a good-news bad-news situation. The bad news is, is that the Supreme Court also said the six-week abortion ban in the state of Florida is valid. So, that's now the law of the land, six weeks, a woman gets a right to choose and she doesn't even know that she's pregnant in almost all those cases.
But the Supreme Court also said, but we're going to let the voters decide one time. So, we have to hit 60 percent. If we don't hit 60 percent to put that in the Constitution, a woman's right to choose, then the six-week abortion ban is here to stay. And so, yes, I think this is an opportunity for the Biden administration as far as voter turnout.
Now, Republicans outnumbered Democrats in the state by over 800,000 voters. That's been a change since COVID. But this also expands the map I think for Joe Biden because I think now Donald Trump is going to have to spend time and money in Florida that he wasn't anticipating to do.
So, that helps Joe Biden in Georgia and North Carolina and Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. So, yes, it helps us in Florida. But I think it helps the president expand the map in other places because you know if you've seen the travel schedule, Joe Biden is on the road a lot more than Donald Trump, and Joe Biden has more money to invest in these areas to turn out the vote.
And so, I -- there is no doubt, Wolf, this is not the end of this nonsense. We're going to see this all the way until November. And if Donald Trump is -- if this is where Donald Trump is in April, just wait until we get to September.
