rs there. You know, they put that wire across the street that records your speed as you go by. And they figure out what speed people will drive if there's no sign. Were you aware of that? That's how they figure out what is a reasonable speed limit. First they see how people actually act in the real world. They actually just monitor them. They go, oh it looks like people are going to go 45 miles an…

ince I've been floored by the malignant presence of something I've seen here but man I am effing floored. So BriAI responds: 55% of men spend their leisure time fighting in pretend wars with Call of Duty or some other BS. Of course they're going to play pretend sex. It's risk-free. How many men you know want to fight in a real war? Reproductive sex is worth the risk. All other sex ends. All other sex ends.

Now is that good marketing or what? Because don't you just want to fight with them? I'm going to fight with you over that. What do you mean all other sex ends? I'll teach you. I'll show you. I'm no incel. Let me send you another angry post on X. Let me up your engagement. Let me make you the biggest story in America trying to stop you. So the harder they try to stop him the funnier it gets and the better his marketing gets and the more likely it'll succeed. It couldn't be funnier. The entire business model is hilarious from beginning to end because he's doing something that's so provocative you can't look away. And if you're going to talk about it, you're his marketing. It's just great.

Well, in coincidence news, Charlie Kirk is telling us on X that one of the two US plants that create these 155mm artillery shells, those are the good ones, and some other smaller ones I guess, went up in flames. Wait, what? There are only two places in the entire United States that can make the shells for these, the exterior body part for these artillery pieces. There's only two of them and one of them is on fire. What's going on here?

Now it could be a coincidence or it could be the first indication that there are terror cells in every single American city. Now if you were a terror cell, what would you be doing if all you have to do is light something on fire? Because setting something on fire is not the highest level of difficulty. So I'm inclined to think this was an accident, but it does suggest what could be ahead. Because if all it takes is one match to defeat the United States military, I think maybe we should try harder. I mean just think about that. In theory if this fire had been started with one match, I doubt it was, but just for fun, if they took out 50% of our artillery manufacturing capacity at the same time our artillery is being used up in Ukraine, didn't somebody with one match just basically deactivate the Amer

ican military? I mean come on. All right, so I'll keep an eye on that. I think it's probably just an accident but certainly raises your eyebrows. Speaker Johnson, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, says he's a wartime speaker. To which we say, what war are you referring to? Is America in a war? I thought we were just supporting somebody else who was in a war. Somebody else is Israel and Ukraine…
