What does presidential adviser and “Family Feud” host Steve Harvey think of President Donald Trump‘s threat to “send in the Feds” to “fix the horrible carnage” in Chicago?

We’re going to have to wait to find out.

Harvey was focused on “traveling to the Philippines to host ‘Miss Universe'” on Wednesday and could not immediately be reached, said Trisha Millera spokeswoman for the “Steve Harvey” talk show.

The president met with Harvey, who records his talk show in Chicago and has been asked to host “Miss Universe” again despite his famous flub last year, a week before the inauguration at Trump Tower in New York. After the meeting, Harvey told reporters he would work with the Trump administration to “see if we can bring about some positive change in the inner cities.”

It’s unclear if Harvey was informed about Trump’s tweet about sending federal authorities into Chicago before Trump sent it, though Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, said earlier this month that even he does not know what Trump is going to tweet until after Trump has done it.

We’ll keep you updated when Harvey reveals his thoughts.
