This seems far more relevant today...from his interview with Kevin Pang from the Takeout.
AVC: You ended that segment by telling the president about your daughter. You asked him “Is everything going to be okay?” So, I want to ask you, as a father of an 8-month-old son: Is everything going to be okay?
AB: Well, look, he’s privy to the National Intelligence Brief every day. He gets the real, presumably the best possible, most accurate intelligence on a daily basis, so he knows far better than us what’s actually going on in the world and how ugly it might get. He seemed optimistic. He didn’t hesitate. He said, “It’s going to be okay.”
AVC: Are you optimistic?
AB: I think on balance. You know, it’s not the world I would have wanted, for sure. I’m certainly dismayed by what I’m seeing now. There’s a lot of ugliness of a kind I’ve never seen in my lifetime, or heard in my lifetime. But, look, I’m a romantic. I’m hopeful.
