Summary

Negotiations are underway in Doha to end the war in Gaza, but no one from Hamas is there. The Washington Post's John Hudson tells us more. Then, some Republicans are calling for former President Donald Trump's campaign to reset. Tim Miller, former communications director for Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign, weighs in.

Patrick Raue of the University of Washington AIMS Center joins us to discuss how mental health issues show up in seniors and what we can do to help.
