"Pepe" Steps Down as President of Uruguay On the World for 3-3

Forget honorifics like “you're excellency” or “Mr. President” or even “Sir,” Uruguayans call their outgoing president simply, "Pepe."

José “Pepe” Mujica is stepping down after five years as perhaps the world's most humble presidents.

FROM THE NEWSROOM:   All eyes are on Washington this morning, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is addressing the US Congress.  

We're going to hit Bibi's speech from various angles on the show today. First, our man in Jerusalem, Daniel Estrin, will be gauging Israeli reaction to the speech. The World's Aaron Schachter will tell us more about how American Jews are viewing Netanyahu's appearance. We're also looking for the view from Tehran.
