If you lose control, she'll flatten the city.

And I think that's what we're seeing now.

Candace, all those same gifts that she has at various times used for good, she's now using for ill.

And there's no one better.

The problem is...

if what you're pursuing is bad and you're the best at it, you're going to do an incredible amount of damage.

And Candice is doing an incredible amount of damage.

Do you think one of the things that, and I've talked about this quite a bit in the past, you've talked about the camera liking people, et cetera.

We are in the business where charisma is so over-indexed that people very often will confuse charisma with accuracy.

They will say, well, this person is very charismatic, therefore what they're saying is true.

And

That seems to be a big problem.

I don't know how much of a problem it is on the left, but within the right-wing media ecosystem, there just seems to be the sense that if you get someone charismatic saying something batshit crazy, that seems to get millions of views.

Is there something about the conservative mindset or is there something about the way people think about that they're particularly susceptible or am I being unfair and are people on the left just the same?

Well, of course, people on the left are susceptible to this.

There's a reason that every actor in Hollywood, they are who they are because they have star power.

They have gotten the platforms that they have because they're incredibly charismatic and great on screen and great at telling stories.

And they're all batshit crazy and they've been

uh promulgating a horrible worldview for for decades so of course that's a problem on the left it manifests itself differently on the right though because the left has almost hegemonic uh representation among you know the instruments of popular culture and has for the lifetime of just about anyone who could be watching this now

And so for that reason, a lot of their audience capture happened in places that were less consequential.
