Summary

On The Gist, IHOP is changing its name to IHOb. And Mike is here to make fun of that. James Clapper was a senior intelligence adviser for both Republican and Democratic administrations. He was also part of the team that informed President-elect Donald Trump of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Now, as a private citizen, Clapper says he believes Russia actually swung the vote. "That's why you write books," says Clapper. "Because you can express your opinions freely. And I did." His latest is Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence. In the Spiel, our expectations of a first lady are sexist and constricting. Cut Melania Trump some slack for not fitting into them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
