Russian media have a lot to say about the U.S. and they're saying it right where Americans can hear it. Critics — including the FBI — say the cable network RT America and the radio network Sputnik are mouthpieces for the Kremlin. The networks say they're unfairly targeted by naysayers, compounded by concerns over Russian interference in the 2016 election. To discuss it we're joined by Jim Rutenberg, media columnist for The New York Times and author of its recent magazine cover story "RT, Sputnik and Russia's New Theory of War," Garland Nixon, co-host of the show "Fault Lines" on Sputnik Radio, Alexey Kuznetsov, deputy head of news at RT International, Kimberly Marten, a professor at Barnard College and Columbia University specializing in Russia and international relations and Andrew Feinberg, former White House correspondent for Sputnik International.

The founding father of modern Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh. He led Vietnam's communist revolution against French colonial rule and then took on the United States. But it seems he long had an admiration for the US and repeatedly sought the country's help in the decades before the Vietnam War.

Two Bullseye classics this week. First up: Judy Greer. You've seen her as Kitty Sanchez in Arrested Development, as Cheryl Tunt on Archer, in Jurassic World, a bunch more. She's one of the most successful co-stars in Hollywood. It stands to reason. She's a gifted actress, she's funny, she's beautiful, but she still looks like a real human being you might know in real life. She talks with Jesse about her roles on screen, how she came to terms with being a co-star, and what it's like being recognized constantly on the street. Then, Ice-T, from 2012. He's been acting for over 25 years and he was a pioneer of West Coast hip-hop in the early 80s. His breakthrough on screen was in 1991's New Jack City, and he spent the last dozen years or so solving crimes on Law and Order: SVU. He's an MC and as the frontman of the metal band Body Count he's released more than a dozen albums in his 30 year music career. At the time, Ice had just directed Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap, a documentary about hip-hop's origins. Ice talks with Jesse about the good old days of rap, where it's headed now, and how he ended up writing bars for the one and only Mr. T.
