>> is he'ding? >> he is eating, yes. his mother begged him to go off the hunger strike. he had a very close relationship with his mother. they spoke every day. when he heard her voice and her begging him, he decided to stop the hunger strike. >> i want to talk to you about the administration's response. cuban officials said they would be willing to negotiate with the administration. there are obviously three cubans being held here. the administration says that's blackmail, these are separate matters. alan was not working as a spy in cuba. do you think the administration has done enough to bring your husband home? >> i think the answer to that is he's still in prison, and i think that the united states needs to get into negotiations with the cuban government and get him home, get him back on u.s. soil. he is an american citizen.
