Description
After more than a year of fighting, President Biden announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas had been reached. What's in the deal, and how did it happen?
Then, President Biden gave his farewell address from the Oval Office Wednesday, defending his record and warning Americans against "extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy."
This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and national security correspondent Greg Myre.
