Now here's what I wonder. I think I've told you that on some topics I might be persuading and not just predicting. I think the CIA has picked up on — I'm not saying that they're copying me. That would be a claim with no evidence whatsoever. But people who know how to persuade know how to persuade. If I were Zelensky, I would be talking about an outright victory over Russian troops even if I didn't necessarily believe it was going to happen. I'd still be talking about it because you want to put that in your heads, right? You want at least the people who are giving you weapons and support to believe they could actually win. Otherwise why would they give you weapons if you're just going to lose anyway?

So if I had been Zelensky, I would be handling this part of it exactly this way. Like exactly. And it's the precision of this persuasion that makes it look professional. There's a certain precision of the perfectness of his message right now that just doesn't look organic. It looks like smart people who know how to do this are telling him what to do, and he's good enough to be able to do it.

Yeah, ask if anything about Zelensky is true. The only thing I'm sure is true is that he's persuasive. I'm sure that's true. Everything else about Ukraine I don't believe. I don't believe anything else I'm hearing about Ukraine. We'll talk about some of those.

Oh, here. Well, here's a good example. The news was saying today that more than 140,000 Ukrainians, mostly men, have returned from Europe to fight for Ukraine. Do you believe that number? Do you believe that 140,000 people? And people are being turned away, apparently. They're being turned away because there's quote "no room." Like Ukraine is all filled up with people. There's no room left for more foreign fighters to come in. Apparently the news says there are 20,000 appeals from foreigners who are ready to come. So people who are not even Ukrainian by any ethnic connection, people with no ethnic connection to Ukraine, 20,000 of them have already signed up to come fight because they want to fight against the Russian Nazis on the Ukrainian side.

I don't believe any of that. Do you? Do you really? Right, no. Somebody says yes, but on locals it's on those. So the part I don't believe is 140,000.

If you told me that 10,000 came, I'd say that could be. If you'd heard the number was 10,000, would you believe it? I think I'd believe 10,000. I mean, even that sounds high, but I'd lean toward believing it. At 140,000? No way. No way. The entire Russian army is 150,000 people, am I right? I mean the entire invading army
