Show notes

On The Gist, a wave of Trump talk crashed down on the weekend news shows. We have the highlights. Plus, Mike asks Maria Konnikova of the New Yorker to examine the scientific merits of political personality studies in a series we call "Is That Bulls--t?" She's the author of The Confidence Game. For the Spiel, Mike attempts to outdo the comedy stylings of Rachel Campos-Duffy. Join Slate Plus! Members get bonus segments, exclusive member-only podcasts, and more.
