re to take everything from him. Like she was just an evil force who wasn't being like selfishly evil but rather just evil. It didn't, it was like she didn't have anything to gain. It was just evil. And so I think that's what he was responding to is like I don't even see what was in it for her. Like it just looked evil. And if you've had experience with one person like this in your life, and so many if you have, I can see in the comments, just know that you're, that wasn't one.

Now do you know what the solution is that the experts say if you run into one of these people? I'm just going to say one of these people. And again I'm not going to label it as vulnerable narcissism as if I could diagnose it because you need a doctor to diagnose. I'm just going to say that is there's a very clear checklist of behaviors and that she hits them all right down the list. Boop. And that's all I can say. If you meet somebody who fits the checklist. And what would the checklist be? It would be like the emotional outburst. Here's the most incredible part is that they'll minimize their awfulness like it's no big deal. When you hear her on the audio tapes like she was throwing things and basically physically abusing him. He was literally hiding and she treated it like it was no big deal and he should man up. That's like you almost can't even believe it. It's like unbelievable. But that's on the checklist, right? That you know that you'd expect that one. The having affairs. The projection. It's just all there.

So some, this seemed like a small story but I think it's a big story. Here's the thing you need to learn. The experts give you one recommendation if you accidentally get into a relationship with such a person. Do you know what that one piece of advice is? And it's all the same. No expert, there's nobody who disagrees. Run. Right? Because if you imagine that they're like people, they are humans, but if you imagine they act like a person then you'll just be destroyed. Because they're not there to act like a person. They're there to destroy you. And once you get destroyed they'll move to the next person and destroy them. They don't stop destroying. They just keep destroying. So just run.

And so I think Johnny Depp has done a national service of extraordinary value if we come to see it this way. If we can see what he's telling us. He's teaching us to run. He's telling us what to look for and he's saying run if you see it. I mean that's how I interpret the story. Now of course he's probably has a gigantic personal stake in this. He's trying to, you know, suing for $50 million doesn't make any sense because I don't think she has $50 million. But I feel like he's, it feels more like he's doing it for us, doesn't it? I'm not even sure that Johnny Depp thinks he'll get anything personally out of this except the satisfaction of the truth, I guess.

All right. Speaking of the truth. So Truth Social now is on the Rumble cloud I guess and people are being brought on in greater numbers so some of the technical problems seem to be perhaps resolved. But I'm seeing some activism now to ask the Apple Store, the app store, to drop the app, which basically puts you in a bind. You know, I mean you could still have the platform but if you don't have the Apple app you're not going to thrive. So how do you succeed when Apple can just say, okay you're gone? And what would it take? It wouldn't take anything. All they'd have to do is say, looks like you got a bunch of right-wing extremists on there. You're done, right? And won't there be a lot of right-wing extremists on there? I would think, you know, probably some. So it seems to me that Apple has every ability to just delete them whenever they want. So how exactly do you succeed that way? I mean I guess you don't know until you have the fight. And so that's the risk of an entrepreneur is you've got to take that fight. But that's a pretty big risk.

Now here's my take on Trump running for 2024. Number one, I think he could win and probably would be the, yeah I think he could win. So and I think that if he gets in he'd probably win. But here's the problem. Given that January 6 was such a black eye to the Republicans and a Trump administration would be looking to staff up with Republicans, how can he possibly staff up? Like how could a Trump 2024 victory, how can he attract a talent pool when he's suffering under that January 6 brainwashing thing that was really effective? You know, half of the country thinks that he's a traitor. And even if he wins because he gets enough votes from his own people, I feel like people would be afraid to associate because it would feel like, oh another one joins the traitors party or something. I mean it was bad enough when he was only being called a racist, which by the way stopped happening. Have you noticed that? As soon as they had this new thing, Trump stopped being a racist. It just hasn't come up. It doesn't matter anymore I guess, you know, as if it were ever true in any meaningful way.

He needs to make a point of destroying the FBI. Well I think that this is the kill shot. You have to ask yourself how he would staff up. And to me I don't know the answer to it. Do you? Can you think of how he could accomplish that? Or do you think people would just say, oh it's a good job, I'll take it? Because that didn't happen the first term. The first term there were a lot of people who didn't want a job in that administration. It feels like it would be twice as hard in the second term because even if there were a lot of people who agreed with Trump so they were willing to work with him, even though same people don't agree with him about January 6 in most cases. Well you're always going to get somebody to apply. I'm not saying that there wouldn't be any applicants. I'm saying that you're not going to get the top cream of the crop. That's a problem, isn't it?

Now what about DeSantis? DeSantis is good, right? Because DeSantis is actually developing an almost bulletproof, really it is bulletproof, I think DeSantis has the best bulletproof set of conservative policies and actions that I've seen. And it looks pretty solid. So as much as I like a lot of what Trump has done and could do, you'd have to ask yourself if DeSantis would be more of a Trump than Trump. It's a fair question.

So by the way does anybody disagree with me about the staffing thing? No I get that he'll staff up so he could staff up somehow. I've got a little disagreement there. A lot of disagreement. Yeah I mean we don't really know. It's just one of those factors. Disagree? No? Okay.

All right, ladies and gentlemen. Normally when it's a faster news day or there's more news I would stay on here longer but oh we've got 45 minutes. That's pretty good. And you prefer Schellenberger. You know maybe Schellenberger will be president someday. He's got to make it as governor first of California. And by the way I haven't heard anybody who's looked at his platform. This is Michael Shellenberger running as an independent for governor of California. And what's different is he's bringing very specific plans. He's written books about it, researched it. So he's the most qualified in terms of knowing how to fix these specific problems. And I'd love to see if that model ever catches on. Like if he wins, I think think of the precedent. Imagine the president if Michael Shellenberger wins. First, precedent is that an independent can win. I mean Jesse Ventura did but that was I think that was a special case. So it's unusual. I mean they can do it but it's unusual. So it'd make that more likely. That might be good. But it would also make the idea of capable leadership based on knowing how to get things done and really researching and stuff, it might make that a thing. What if that becomes a thing? Wouldn't that be good?

Yeah I saw a comment on Locals. I'm pretty sure that I did not have a bad mushroom trip. What I had was something that probably wasn't mushrooms. Th
