Sure, I'm so glad we're opening with us.
There's a store, right?
There's a car crash at the store, and the car that crashes into this clothing store is shaped like a hot dog.
You know what's driving me nuts?
And my basic take here is, like, this is really what's going on in the Republican Party right now.
You have people who have been very clearly responsible for the party's push further and further to the right and towards a conspiratorial extremist state of mind now getting really upset that people are acting like a conspiratorial extremist party.
So when I was thinking of examples for this piece, I wanted to be pretty strict about who qualified.
I wanted to be somebody not just who was on the right and generally upset about the state of the right, but whose actions and past statements had in very specific and concrete ways contributed to the problems that they are now bemoaning, right?
So you can draw a straight line between this person's past behavior and what's going on right now.

And he focuses on Tucker Carlson, on Nick Fuentes, and on Candace Owens, who are three of the right's biggest personalities in podcast world.

And very specifically, he hired Candace Owens.
In sort of the late 2010s, Candace Owens was making a name for herself as a right-wing provocateur.
She had already said a bunch of pretty extreme things.
In 2020, for instance, she claimed that Bill Gates was doing secret experiments on—
on people in Africa and then said at one point that the problem with Hitler was basically that he tried to do stuff outside of his borders, which is ignoring the whole, like, you know, killing German Jews en masse.
And in a New Yorker interview recently, he says that he actually liked most of the inflammatory stuff that she said back then.
