Andrew S. Weiss, former NSC Russia expert and current VP of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, takes on the person and psychology of Vladimir Putin in a new way. Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin is a graphic novel, and it's a really insightful one at that. Plus, Emily Kohrs sure is enjoying her post-grand jury media tour. And, running on "anti-wokeness" all the way to the White House.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
