tter where to put them? I mean, Disney knew where to put the roads and what kind and when they needed them, and it was their priority. So wouldn't you prefer Disney build the roads to make it exactly what they wanted and built for the customers' impact? All right. So he says you're really trying hard, Scott. You know, when somebody says that, like, I know I've sort of made some inroads. Look for…

e passed a budget. Like it literally sounds like the most nothing that anything could sound like. Hey he passed a budget for infrastructure. Okay, don't they all do that? Doesn't every government pass a budget for infrastructure? No, this is like extra. That's it. It's a little extra big on the budget for the infrastructure, which is basically your normal job. That's it. And even people don't know that.

So people say stuff like, well you know easily we brought back the calm, sober leadership. And what'd that get you? How's that calm, sober leadership working out? And but the funniest thing is there's, I saw Fox News mocking a Washington Post editorial in which the writer was saying they couldn't understand why Biden isn't being more popular and successful. And I'm thinking I have a few ideas I can throw into the mix. I don't feel like it's that complicated at all, honestly.

All right, this old Johnny Depp story with, so he's suing, a $50 million lawsuit against Amber Heard, his ex, because she wrote some article that claimed he was an abuser. And now he's suing and has seems to have proven with audio tapes anyway that she was the abuser. So not only was she the abuser but she accused him of being the abuser and ruined his life basically and his career.

And here's the thing that I love about this. There are a lot of people learning that Amber Heard exists and that she has a certain set of personality traits. And I believe that there are people, well let me ask you, how many people are familiar with the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard story and you said to yourself, oh my God, I know Amber Heard might be a male Amber Heard or a female Amber Heard. You know, so gender doesn't matter. But is there anybody who, look at the comments, so many of you have met her or one like her. And here's the thing that you probably thought: it can't be two of those, right? How many of you had that experience and just said to yourself there's no way there are two of these. Like I don't know what I experienced here but I can tell you one thing, there can't be two of these. There are a lot of them. If you look at the comments it's just filled with people saying yes, my ex, my blah blah blah. Now it's men and women, right? So it's not a gender thing. It's a personality thing.

This is, if you look at the specific things that Amber Heard is accused of, and since I'm not a doctor I cannot give you a diagnosis, I will simply make an observation. If you were to make a list of all the things that describe a vulnerable narcissist, and I think there are some other things like some personality disorders that also overlap, but if you just made a list of all the things they do, Amber Heard checks off all the lists. And one of the weirdest ones is that projection thing where they blame you even in public, in this case, of doing the crime that only they were doing. That's the weirdest part. Blaming you of a crime that only they are doing. Like that one you don't think could happen with more than one person but it does.

So here's the thing you need to know. Amber Heard is genetically a human being. You know, if you checked her DNA it would be human. But if you treat her like a human and assume that she will act like a human, she will destroy you. One of the things that Johnny Depp said that just really blew my mind was he said that something like he thought that she'd been put the

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 man…
