I want to see. I mean, okay, a lot of people.

Now how many of you were influenced by me? Because I'm not too confident on my opinion on this. Was anybody influenced by me? Because early on I said I don't think he's going to do it, and I'm sticking with my prediction just because the reasons for the prediction haven't changed. Although I have to admit it looks a lot like he's going to attack. I wouldn't bet on me. Let's put it this way: if I were you, I wouldn't bet on me to be right. But just to be consistent because my reasons for the prediction never changed, I'm going to stick with it.

Now I'm not going to let my confidence be influenced by the fact that it looks in every possible way it looks exactly like an invasion. Because bluffing would look exactly the same if you wanted to do a really good job of it. Bluffing would look the same. What would also look the same is not having decided yet. That would look exactly the same if the only thing you were doing is pushing for negotiations to get some concessions and just making us think he's going to attack any moment. Or even to find out what our response is because maybe he just is testing public opinion. Maybe he's just testing the resolve of NATO.

Apparently there's a big opinion, and this is a weird one. A lot of people in Russia think that the United States is trying to trick Russia into attacking Ukraine. Is there anybody in the United States you've heard besides me say that? That I'm not going to say that we're actually literally trying to trick them into attacking Ukraine, but I've actually tweeted that it looks like it. In other words, what we're observing looks exactly like trying to trick them into attacking Ukraine.

Now I don't know why we would do that except that maybe it'd be bad for Russia. But is it weird that the Russian public actually thinks that? A lot of them, they think we're trying to trick them into attacking Ukraine. How in the world is the Russian public having that opinion and I'm the only one? Do a fact check. Have you heard anybody else in America say that it looks like we're trying to trick them into attacking? Because I didn't even believe my own opinion. I'm just saying that if you look at the facts, it just looks like it. I mean it doesn't seem likely, but it looks like it.

Oh, is it Cernovich and Posobiec? You've heard them. That would make sense. Well I'm not talking about a Wag the Dog situation. The Wag the Dog, I think that's a more specific situation, isn't it?

All right, some more interesting factoids here. Let's get back to this. I saw a good tweet by Eddie Quan. He says if you think trusting the science is smart, wait until you learn who's taking the scientists out for lunch. That one just stops you in your tracks, doesn't it? If you think trusting the science is smart, wait until you learn who's taking the scientists out for lunch.

I don't think I've ever seen anything summarized that well. Actually I'll give you one thing. Once a friend of mine described the comic strip Marmaduke, which at that point had been like 50 years of Marmaduke comics. You summarize the entire life of the comic as a big dog is on something you want. Now that was a terribly unfair summary, but it's the only one I've seen that was more succinct than if you think trusting the science is smart, wait till you learn who's taking the scientists out for lunch.

You could just be done. You should have a college course for a credit, like full credit. You know, it's a Harvard class and you go into the class and the first day you sit down and they just show you this tweet. They go, class, if you think trusting the science is smart, wait until you learn who's taking the scientists out for lunch. Class dismissed. Anybody who can remember that tomorrow gets an A in the class and there's no coursework because that's all you need to know. It's all there. The entire class work of how to understand the media, how to work with it, how to understand science, how to work with it, human motivation. It's all there in one tweet.

Meanwhile, speaking of the Canadian gulag, sure enough Canada is going hard after the people involved in the protest. Their accounts are being frozen. Some of them can't get bail. Their names are being posted. The names of people who donated to the truckers are being posted on trees in some neighborhoods so that you can know who to be mad at in Canada. This is the most chilling thing that I've seen in a long time, and I've seen some chilling things. So I don't even know what to say about this. I mean it's so bad that words start to escape. But then you find out that two-thirds of the Canadian public is totally on board with this sort of stuff. Did you know that? Something like 65% of the Canadian public says, you know, they don't like the convoy and they're pretty happy that the government was tough on them. It's something like that, right? Two-thirds.

So if Canada is getting what
