[Clapper on how US became “ripe target”]( Former director of national intelligence James Clapper gives his take on what motivated Russia to get involved in the 2016 presidential election. On “Salon Talks,” Clapper tied Russia’s support for candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 race to Putin’s deep disdain for Hillary Clinton. “Their first objective was simply to sow doubt, discord, discontent in this country, and I think they succeeded fairly well because we're a ripe target for that,” Clapper told Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir. “And secondly, because starting with a strong personal animus that Putin has for the Clintons, and specifically for Secretary Clinton, was to do everything they could to denigrate and marginalize her.” Clapper, whose new book [“Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence”]( is out now, explained Russia’s long history of undermining American democracy. “This is classic. It goes back to the Soviet era, and it's almost in their genes to do this. There's a fundamental resentment of the United States, starting with Vladimir Putin. He held Hillary Clinton responsible for prompting what he thought was another call to revolution to overturn him. With the Panama Papers, the doping scandal, and all these revelations, he deeply resented those.” Watch the video above for Clapper’s assessment of the Steele dossier and check out the [full interview]( for his reflections on the current state of the intelligence community.

Now she’s looking to serve a “second service” by running for office in Kentucky’s Sixth Congressional District as a Democrat. McGrath joined “Salon Talks” to discuss her campaign and what motivated her to jump into politics. She says the GOP is failing to think of constituents first. “Republicans that don’t take a stand against Trump when they know inside, they know what he’s doing and what he says and what he tweets is just wrong and un-American, it’s sad to me,” McGrath said. Having more lawmakers in office with military service would make a difference in Washington, according to McGrath, because of the values and training instilled in the job. “We know how to work on a mission to get things done, even if we’re from different areas or backgrounds.” To hear more about McGrath’s story and why she thinks she can beat Mitch McConnell’s handpicked nominee, watch the video above.

[Six decades of rock stars]( Bill Bentley, a music industry expert who has spent 45 years in the industry, is the curator and author behind the book "Smithsonian Rock and Roll: Live and Unseen," a collection that chronicles over six decades of rock ‘n’ roll’s greats through mostly never-before-seen photos. "The great artists that I've known and a lot of the artists in this book, they have an inner drive to be somebody and they know that their music is saying something," Bill Bentley told Salon's Amanda Marcotte on "Salon Talks." The collection includes rare shots of Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, The Who, the Rolling Stones, Metallica and more. "Most of the great artists onstage are completely different than they are off stage," Bentley said. "You can't be what you are on stage all the time off stage; it'll kill you."
