75 - Psychopaths in Power

75 - Psychopaths in Power

Why are psychopaths drawn to power—and what happens when they get it?

Criminal defense attorney Joseph Tully, author of California: State of Collusion, joins forensic psychologists Dana Anderson and Craig Wetterer to examine how psychopathy in positions of authority reveals itself. These individuals are not guided by justice—their moral compass is broken—and the collateral damage they leave behind is part of the story we uncover.

Together, they unpack Tully’s book, which exposes California’s corrupt criminal justice system and the culture of power, conspiracy, and cover-ups that fuel it.

Nobody knows this story better than Joseph Tully—and in this episode, he connects those systemic abuses to the psychology of power and the dangers of psychopathic personalities.

Power is never more dangerous than when it rests in the hands of those who decide who walks free—and who is condemned.
