The Russian President is tough, cruel and ambitious. But now that he's suffered setbacks, we're hearing he's also mad.

On Todays Show Mike considers how useful it is to dwell on Putin's mental health and how accurate it is to tell ourselves that the Ukrainian resistance is indomitable. Plus, Garrett Graff author of Water Gate: A New History stops by to tell us what's new in the land of Nixon.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
