As civilians in Gaza continue to struggle immensely, there are mixed thoughts on whether Israel should call a ceasefire or continue its fight against Hamas. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed last week that a cease fire is not an option as of now as it could benefit Hamas. At home, concerns over the southern border are top of mind -- as calls for better resources and funding remain an insistent ask from Republican lawmakers. On the Rundown, the youngest female to ever serve in the Senate and Alabama's first female Senator, Katie Britt, discusses why she agrees a ceasefire cannot happen until Hamas is defeated and how the White House's inability to acknowledge the border crisis stops them from fixing it. She also discusses her new book, 'God Calls Us To Do Hard Things: Lessons from the Alabama Wiregrass,' which shares her story and urges Americans to better for themselves and the nation. Since the pandemic normalized working from home, office spaces have been less occupied, with one report even showing office occupancy rates in major cities are nearly half their pre-pandemic levels. The Biden administration has announced it will try to convert commercial real estate to residential housing to help with affordability. Economist and business professor at University of Maryland, Peter Morici tells the Rundown this effort is unrealistic. He joins to break down the threat of a commercial real estate crash, how the burden of the crisis could fall to mid-sized banks, and the biggest obstacles to converting office buildings into residential housing.
