Who Is Controlling RFK Jr.? | Candace Ep 167
It was Candace. And I had always liked her. Like even as a liberal, I hated the things she was saying, but I liked the way she said them. Why? What is it about the way she says it? Well, I think she's, you know, it's like, it's the art of everything. The art of storytelling, the art of gossip, the art of argument. And she's a great, she's good at what she does. She can defend herself.

Well, we live in San Clemente, California, and it's still sort of a kind of like an old school beach town vibe. And my boys are, you know, they have a lot of freedom here. They run around. They're surfing. They're on bikes. They take the trolley. And... There's like a sense of community here where the kids still go out and, you know, do things outside. And so we love the ocean.

My office here in Laguna is right by, you know, the beach. We would never not live in California, but obviously there's major problems. And I don't have all the statistics like Jessica, but just driving around, you know, L.A., you see... the homelessness, the epidemic, and it kind of made its way here.

And we kicked them out really quick because it became a whole problem with tents popping up everywhere after COVID, you know, a lot changed after COVID. So, but we, I mean, I still want to believe that we can turn it around. I was at Tucker Carlson show this last summer and he had a whole plan as to how it could be fixed. He said fairly easily. So yeah, I mean, I love California.

I was going to bring that up, too. I still am attached to it in a literary sense, you know, as far as, like, we accept the beauty and the destruction, the fires and the earthquakes, you know, the Joan Didion prose that framed California. I'll always be attached to, but it's got its problems. I mean...

I don't know. I found her. I found her really boring and incompetent, like I couldn't even really attack too many things because they're just for me, there was really nothing there. Is that a serious is she a serious contender? Is that what we're looking at?

Well, can I first just say, I think it's funny you brought up the Bible because I just, I ordered a Bible from Amazon. I haven't read it before. So I do think there are a lot of biblical things happening within this administration, which as a writer, I love. But I mean, I'm a Bobby Kennedy diehard, right?

Waltz OUT as NSA... Could Witkoff Be Next Up? Plus, Gavin Newsom on Why He's Not a "Crazy Liberal"
I've watched him from the beginning and I've talked to so many people from his, from the old days who have seen him, what he's gone through to get his message out and And so I, for me, I am personally very inspired by what's happening. I think he's making a lot of action pretty quickly. And I think he's going full force now that he has a team behind him.

So, you know, but there's interesting things happen with happening within the base as far as like, is he not doing enough? Is he's not, you know, he said this about autism or he said this about vaccines. It's not, it doesn't align with what, you know, we think over here, we think over here. So there's, There's sort of like internal conflict.

But I think, you know, I went to the HHS hearing last week and he was taking it was about the food, but food dice he's eliminating. And I just think he's on a great path right now. And I am so excited that he's where he's at doing.

Well, I just I feel like the Trump, the whole administration is on warp speed right now. I mean, a lot's happening. He has all these studies going on. He's gotten rid of a lot of things that he found unnecessary. And I think he's talking about a lot of things that fringe Americans were interested in. And he's bringing them into a national, you know, making it a national conversation.

Well, I'm just, you know, I feel like she's sort of a mystery. We know she's a powerful force and she's in charge of a lot of the decisions and she's, you know, kind of guiding some of these wild characters. Just I'm so fascinated by her. And I like that we don't know a lot about her. It doesn't seem like she wants to be, you know, really.

I mean, honestly, I get a lot of my information from public comments. I go into comments, I watch YouTube videos, and I read what everybody's saying. And I go into chat rooms, and I go into Reddit forums. And that's kind of where you pull what everyday Americans are thinking. I don't know that I have regular points in media that I even try.

You know, I'm conflicted because I do think... I have four boys and the older ones are all on social media. And it is really hard to monitor for kids, you know, their activity, especially as they get older and they're not around you all the time. I don't know. You know, I was a part of the... I covered Melania Trump's Take It Down Act.

So I think there's some things there where it's really good because... I mean, even as an adult, the bullying we go through without any, you know, there's no one to talk to. Like sometimes it is scary when it ramps up and there's literally no one that we can contact to really get it under control. So I don't know.

Well, I think, you know, if you look at Trump as the ultimate showman, which is how I see him and who he surrounded himself with all these flashy, beautiful characters, you know, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy, Elon Musk. These are all this is to me, this is the greatest stage and the greatest show on earth right now.

Well, you know, he called me. He was very gracious. After the election, he gave me a call, and we both agreed that we had married up. And then he invited me over to the White House, and we had breakfast with Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, and it was a real fun time. Yeah, it sounds like...
