at where my work has penetrated, it's definitely me. I'm absolutely the most influential person in the world right now. I'm looking at the difference between the comments on YouTube versus Locals. It's very different. The Locals people are giving me a break. They're letting me say that. And then the YouTube people are like your ego, your ego is out of control. Now how many of you know me well en…
← Previous segment →t does look like it's approaching at least a more stable situation. Does it look to you like Russia really could take over the rest of Ukraine at this point? It doesn't really look like it but anything could happen.
All right so those of you who think I was wrong about that prediction I would say that I had the best prediction in the world on that topic. That's what I think. I think it was the best prediction in the world. I get the one word answer to that: wrong, wrong. Well do you see why I could say it? Let's say you disagree with me but do you see the argument? There's nothing wrong with the argument, right? The argument is that the goal was to conquer all of Ukraine. Winning means that they didn't do it. That's it. Yeah that's my argument.
All right. The goal was never that. Well the goal of Ukraine was to remain Ukraine and lose as little as possible and they probably lost as little as possible.
All right. There were never goals for Russia really. I think in a way Russia accomplished its goals as well because it did get that strategic part that's pretty important. But it also gave a warning to NATO that you know don't push too far.
Next topic. Is there a next topic? I believe Eric Weinstein tweeted about the media. Did I see that? I don't know.
All right. I don't have any updates on any Andrew Tate stuff. But if YouTube still has his videos up in which he is saying false things about me which actually do hurt me, like not nothing he says necessarily but every time there's a lie in the media.
Let me ask you how many of you believe I was pro-vaccination? So we can see how quickly the lies spread. And how many of you on the people on Locals know I never was? But on YouTube how many of you are under the impression that I was pro-vaccination? Okay I guess that's been clarified for the people who actually pay attention. But some of you are saying yes. Those of you who are saying yes, how do you explain all the people saying no? Like what is your theory for why you think yes but you can see for yourself other people who are observing exactly the same stuff say no? Like what in your mind do you think all the people saying no weren't paying attention? How do you explain that?
All right well when somebody says I was pro enough to get the vaccination. But does anybody care about what any individual does with their health care? You don't care what I individually do, do you? Why would that? And did I ever indicate that my individual choices should apply to anybody else? Did you ever hear me say what I do is what you should do for your health? Have you ever heard me say that?
Is the 186 IQ, are you saying that Andrew Tate claims a 186 IQ? Because if he is that's funny. I think I'll raise mine to 187 if that's the case.
You know what the weirdest thing is? You know how Mark Twain famously said we can't tell the difference between good news and bad news? Let me paint you a picture. During the pandemic when most people couldn't fly I could because I could still fly because I got vaccinated, which is the only reason I did it. So I went to Bora Bora with one of the most beautiful women in the world and spent a week in paradise. And there were almost no other tourists there.
The only thing wrong with going to a place like Bora Bora is the other people. Like if you went to the pool it would be busy. If you tried to get a reservation it'd be busy. So it's really the only problem with going to Bora Bora is too many people. There was almost nobody there. The whole resort, imagine the main pool at one of the high end resorts in Bora Bora on a perfectly good weather day. Nobody else was at the pool the entire time. Nobody at the main pool of a major resort. You could go anywhere and do anything with no lines, no nothing. And the entire staff was there to help you. They weren't too busy.
So I had the peak travel experience of my life. And while I was having the peak travel experience of my life I was in perfect health and still am. I mean relative to COVID anywa

y. And so somehow while I was having the best experience of my life travel experience, my critics are telling me that they feel sorry for me for choosing incorrectly. Now my critics were staying home probably not having sex with one of the most beautiful women in the world and they're pretty sure that I'd made all the wrong choices. Now what does the right choice look like if the wrong choice was…
