two Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are joined now by Katie Miller, a Florida Gatorade. If I remember correctly, Florida Gators are the defending national champions and will begin, I believe, their defense of that national championship a little bit later today. She's also the wife of Stephen Miller, mother of, I think three kids, might be four kids now. I can't keep track. And she has a very successful podcast, the Katie Miller Show Podcast. Katie, thanks for joining us on this Friday. How, how are things going for you heading into the weekend?
- [03:25]
Katie Miller
Quite the introduction. Go Gators. Go Gator. Basketball. Always a Gator. It's been, it's exciting week. I'm excited to be in the weekend because then I get to parent three kids. Five, four and two.
- [03:39]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [03:39]
Katie Miller
Be seven months pregnant at the same time.
- [03:42]
Clay Travis
That is a, that is quite the handful I want to start with. I want to dive into a bunch of stories with you, but earlier this morning as I was getting ready, and I know this to be the case all over the place, we have got huge lines everywhere with TSA agents calling out sick, not being paid for multiple weeks. New York City, Atlanta and Houston, three big cities. I'm sure there are many more. I know a lot of listeners out there are traveling. How ridiculous is this that we have reached a situation where Democrats are refusing to fund the dhs, not ice, which I believe is already funded and fully working. But the TSA agents are bearing the brunt of this, along with a few other hard working Americans.
- [04:29]
Katie Miller
It's really a shame to see the Trump derangement syndrome strike Democrats so stridently that they will fuse to do their basic responsibility, which is fund the government. As you said, TSA agents are not being paid. Neither are customs officers, those men and women who screen you when you come back from a foreign country, or who check vehicles at ports of entry, the land borders, whether that's coming from Mexico or Canada. Who's screening for fentanyl, who's screening for cocaine. That also is our Secret Service agents. Who's protecting the president? Who's protecting my family? Those guns and badges that they're using every single day, Guess what? They're not being funded either. And that's thanks to Democrats reneging on their foremost responsibility, which is what the American people elected them to do, which is fund the government. So quite frankly, it's absurd that they're getting a paycheck and those on the front line aren't. And I don't really fault the TSA agents at this point who have been through so much rigmarole and so Much uncertainty in their own lives at the hands of Democrats. President Trump ran on a platform, number one, which was stopping and shutting down our border to stop the illegal immigration of 20 million illegals that Joe Biden let into our country. And number two was mass deportations. Trump shocked, frankly shocked to see the American people in the Democrat Party so upset when President Trump was very clear to 77 million Americans who voted for him that this was his intended policy.
- [05:49]
Clay Travis
Let's dive into some something that I've been just preaching on that I know you have experienced. There's a lot of AI discussion out there and I like to play around and just ask different AI, different questions of different AI competitors out there. And really what you find out is it's very similar to search back in the day where the input and the algorithm can dictate what the response is and it's intentional. You been talking and sharing a lot of different stories about this. What should people out there, particularly parents who may have young kids who are using AI, maybe to help with homework or look up and check fact based questions, what should they know and what should all of us know about what you are finding when you compare these different AI source codes?
- [06:41]
Katie Miller
I would say there's four main AI on the market today that you as a user and our use cases, Clay, where you're just searching a generic question. You're not using it for coding, you're not using it for engineering, you're not using it to launch a rocket into space. We're asking it very mundane questions like where should I get my nails done Today there are four different AIs out there. There's Gemini, which is run by Google. Claude, which is run by anthropic. You have ChatGPT, which is run by OpenAI and you have Grok, which is run by Xai. And you have to remember that these four companies are all based in San Francisco, California, arguably the most liberal in the entire country. It is the highest concentration, in fact, of gay Americans in our entire country. And so who do you think they're getting to work and program these models? It's not someone who thinks like you and I, it's someone who has a very different school of thought. And that would be some of the most woke and leftist ideology. Those are the people who want to trans your kids. Those are the people who want to push CRT in our schools. Those are the people who want to hide that they're changing your child's pronouns in a classroom. And so what you're saying is when you input something and you're getting out an answer. It's not just fully truth seeking. What it is is it's tinged with the ideology of those who are programming it. And so as a parent, I take that very seriously. So regularly, as you just said, you check all the AI platforms, I pay for the subscription to all four of those AIs. Not cheap, by the way. Anthropic is like 150 bucks a month for their premium model. 150 bucks a month. I think Grok is 50 bucks a month. And so if you're looking at something like that, you're saying what is the output in which I'm getting? And when you test it with basic answers like is the United States on stolen land? Is it okay to have white pride? Truly, only GROK is going to give you those truth seeking answers that are unbiased in nature. Because when you're programming an AI based off of the Internet, which is where there's scraping this information from, they're taking it from Reddit, they're taking it from Facebook, they're taking it from Wikipedia, all of the sources that conservatives have complained about for so long, that's what's being used to train the model. So unless you're course correcting in the training for that pre programmed WOKE ideology, that's just what you're going to get out. Which is very dangerous because if we're saying we're going to fire these liberal teachers and we're going to get rid of Wokeism from the government, but you're just taking the people out and replacing with the idea with the AI that they trained, you're not doing much better.
- [09:17]
Clay Travis
Which is why I use grok, which seems to be maximally, I think is the phrase from Elon Musk, truth seeking. And to have the less bias relative to far left wing bias that you just referenced, is that fair to say, based on what you see? And if it were not for Grok, we basically would just have a bunch of left wing chatbot competitors, right?
- [09:42]
Katie Miller
Absolutely. And I find that when I'm searching all day long in all four of these AIs. But I'm also. What I'm often finding is that GROK truly gives you the unbiased answer that a user is looking for. And what I would say to that is it's very scary because you don't know all the use cases of AI yet. So when you're talking about robots, you're talking about drone strikes, you're talking about using it for airline searches and for your doctors, your mental health professionals. What kind of answers do you want output as people in your lives are relying upon this type of information? If you look at it, why are some Americans so scared of nuclear energy? Well, we saw the worst tool and the worst use case of nuclear when you saw the bomb go off in Hiroshima. So we knew the worst case that could happen with a nuclear weapon. But no one knows the worst use case you can have with AI because you're being introduced to it through these friendly chatbots. And what I would say that's incredibly important in what you're using. You vote with your dollars the same way conservatives voted with their dollars as it relates to Target, Netflix and these other companies that you understand that OpenAI and anthropic are just as woke as all these San Francisco, California companies. And you need to vote with your dollars and choose Grok.
- [11:03]
Clay Travis
I use Grok. I also know that you are a fan of Tesla sel. I'm obsessed with this. I bought it for my kids. I went and I test drove and I couldn't believe it. I feel like I'm in the future every time I use it. I know that you are similarly an evangelist for this. You just mentioned you've got three young kids and you're seven months pregnant. For people out there, some people love to drive. And if you want to pretend you're a race car driver, that's all about it. You can continue to drive yourself. A lot of people have many other things going on. I'm sure you're constantly, if you're. If your driving experience was anything like mine, we had young kids having to give kids juice boxes, having to make sure that they've got snacks, having to make sure that they're able to be somewhat entertained during the course of the drive. How different has your life been with Tesla self driving? What would you say the moms out there, the grandmas out there that may have kids in the car with them when they're going around doing errands?
- [12:06]
Katie Miller
Well, first I'll preface and say as a woman, categorically women are the world's worst drivers. I'm not sure what it is, but that's the uniform. We definitely are. And so the greatest change I've made to my life is getting in full self drive. I find myself getting in almost accidents less, I would say. And I'm sure you can relate to this. The most annoying part about driving in full self drive is that it actually yells at you pretty aggressively if you're texting and driving.
- [12:35]
Clay Travis
Yes. Which I was Texting you from, from Tesla self drive about how amazing Tesla self drive was. And if you look down to text for too long, it's like, hey, eyes up, kid. But yes, so continue. Because everybody comes after me now and they're like, oh, look at Clay. He's got the electric car. Oh, he's turned into a huge wuss. I love this thing. And I've got teenage boys and you mentioned female drivers. Teenage boys, I would argue, are the biggest morons when it comes to driving because they all think they're Mario Andretti and in reality, they're awful at it. And unfortunately, the data reflects that young teenage drivers, boys in particular, make awful decisions because they haven't experienced driving enough. So for people out there with teenagers, this was one of my motivations.
- [13:22]
Katie Miller
The data shows that a Tesla in full self drive is seven to nine times safer than a car in which you're driving yourself. Over 93% of accidents are caused by user error, not by the car. And so when you're driving in full self drive, you're more likely to get from point A to point B in a much safer manner, which is why it's so important. Especially, as you mentioned, when I have young kids in the car, being pregnant, it matters because everyone knows when you get into an accident and you're pregnant, it's very scary. But secondly is I'm such an evangelist now of this that my mom, who has always driven a luxury vehicle, I was like, you have to get a Tesla. You have to try this full self drive. Just trust me on this. We fought back and forth. She has her car and I go, how's it going? She goes, I never drive it. And I go, what do you mean you never drive it? She goes, no, no, it drives itself everywhere. She goes, it's the best car I've ever driven. And what I would say is that the pickup on this thing, and I think you can relate to this, when you put your foot on the pedal, it picks up and drives faster than any other car I've ever driven. I'm sure it's an electric vehicle thing and maybe it's a Tesla thing, but I genuinely feel safer when I'm in this car. And I think it's literally driving a computer and being in a computer in ways that no other car can compete on the marketplace. You don't know how great it is until you do it. Which is why I think both you and I are so excited to tell everyone else that they have to try this thing.
- [14:42]
Clay Travis
Yeah, I don't get paid anything for this. It's just when I have a product and it's awesome, I just want to tell everybody about how awesome it is. Okay, let me close out with this. Florida Gators are playing a little bit later and I know you're going to be probably excited about that because Florida is really great at basketball. I wish you guys were still good at football. I think you went 4 and 8 and I'm not even sure you're a football school anymore. But I wanted to ask you this to close out. Last time you were on with us, you were talking about some of the danger that your family has had to face. You just mentioned you got three young kids. You're seven months pregnant. Are things better? Worse? How are things for your family when it comes to safety and everything else? I know you had to move over that issue. I do think it's important for people to keep in mind what families are sacrificing in order to try to be doing what your family is doing.
- [15:31]
Katie Miller
Thank you. Thank you for that, and I really appreciate it. I appreciate everyone who reaches out who prays for my family's safety. We have moved. We live on a military installation. We are so incredibly grateful to our men and women in the armed services. They've welcomed us with open arms. There is nothing like the ability to watch your children run outside and play freely in a field. There's nothing like the ability to be able to load and unload your kids just in your driveway without having to look over your shoulder. I would say that our house is amazing and that it's a historic military home, as all homes are in the Washington, D.C. area. And I'm so grateful to President Trump and to our administration for stepping up to take care of our family. I don't think the threats have dissipated nor has the energy of the left dissipated in order to try to rile up those who want to cause harm to my family. You see it from Gavin Newsom's office regularly on X, which is just so shameful. But we are safe. We're in a good place, and we are happiest that we've ever been because I know we wake up each and every day serving our country. And my husband gets to go to the West Wing every day to fulfill the promises that President Trump made to the American people. And there's no one happier to walk through those doors again on January 20th of last year than Stephen Miller. Because when we left on January 21st of 2021, he looked at everybody and said, I'll be back. He told the five men and women at Walter Reed. He said, I'll be back. And so how joyful it is to get to live your dream once again and be able to fulfill unfinished promises from the first administration. Not many people get that second chance, and President Trump fought against those witch hunts for this exact moment in time.

Travis Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Friday, Friday edition of the program. A bit of sad news that is out there. Well, you know what, we'll, we'll share some of that sad news when we come back. Davis in Arizona, he's got a call for us. Davis, what's up? Yesterday you had a lady call in
- [22:41]
Caller / TSA Agent
and saying why don't they cut the pay for the senators and congressmen until TSA gets funded? And as we know, Congress controls their pay, so that's not happening. Well, here's what TSA can do.
- [22:53]
Katie Miller
The congressmen and senators have a free pass that gets them to bypass the TSA line. Why doesn't the administrator of the TSA take that away and make them stand
- [23:04]
Caller / TSA Agent
in the line with everyone else and
- [23:07]
Katie Miller
then casually say, you know, if you
- [23:08]
Caller / TSA Agent
see your senator in line, why don't
- [23:10]
Katie Miller
you go tell them how you feel about this?
- [23:14]
Clay Travis
Great question. I think if the Congress can't get the TSA funded, then certainly they shouldn't get free escorts to be able to skip the TSA line. I don't know if that's continuing. I think that's a courtesy that congresspeople typically get from the tsa. I don't know that that courtesy should exist. Candidly, I think you should have to go through the line if you're a congressman or a senator like everybody else. I said yesterday I don't think that congressman or senators should get paid when they're keeping TSA agents from getting paid. That doesn't feel like a tough decision to me and it's one that I think makes an awful lot of sense. Let's go ahead and hop in here and talk to you about Rapid Radios. I was watching this morning. My wife's from Michigan and she was showing me an awful tornado that came through recently in Michigan. We have had so many difficult weather conditions over the past few months. Are you confident that you're going to be able to have continuing power in your home? Might you lose it? Do you have a plan? If that happens, Rapid Radios will help you. They have long lasting charges. I mean incredibly long lasting charges. And right now when you go to rapidradios.com and get a Rapid radio, they're including over 300 in free gear with your order, a tactical radio bag, a USB charger and an empty Faraday bag, plus every order, 30 day money back guarantee go to rapidradios.com that's rapidradios.com welcome back in Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show. Several things out there that need to get fixed immediately. But among the very top of the list, this TSA situation has completely spiraled out of control this morning in New York City, in Atlanta, in Houston, lines that they extended for hours and hours. Democrats have shut down the government when it pertains to paying TSA agents and others. And they have done so because they threw a fit over what happened in Minneapolis. The money is all allocated. It's all ready to go. I don't understand how anybody, regardless of their political background, could be in favor of TSA agents being forced to work without pay. The average TSA agent makes $40,000 a year. They have to live paycheck to paycheck. And this is a John in Florida is calling in. I, I know a lot of you work at TSA because every time I'm in an airport, I meet somebody as I'm going through the TSA line who says, hey, I listen to Clay and Buck. I like outkick. I watch on Fox News. Here is John in Florida. How bad is it as a TSA agent right now? John, what are you seeing?
- [26:14]
Caller / TSA Agent
How are you, sir? Thank you for taking my call. It's bad at this point. The trickling effect is coming down from management. So you see, you know, GSA agents showing up daily, you know, working these long lines. However, we're being threatened that if we don't show, will be threatened with AWOLs and possibly lose our jobs.
- [26:38]
Clay Travis
Yeah, it makes total sense. What percentage of that those threats would be there. But what percentage of your co workers do you think are living paycheck to paycheck in some way? That is, they have less than a month of savings, got credit card bills, rent, car payments, all these different things, obligations for food and groceries for families. In your experience, how many people are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling immensely right now without receiving their paycheck?
- [27:10]
Caller / TSA Agent
At least I would say 60 to 70%. However, you do have some couples that work, you know, for tsa. So they're both not getting paychecks. So it could be more than that around the country as well. So yeah, it's being affected. There's a lot of newer officers within, you know, two to three years that are just, they're probably just going to, you know, throw in the towel and quit at this point.
- [27:34]
Clay Travis
Well, thank you and I'm sorry to hear this. To me, again, this is indefensible I mean, yesterday I was talking about this. To me, it fails on three different fronts, all of which are significant. First of all, it's just wrong. You shouldn't require people to work without pay. We ended slavery.
- [27:53]
Caller / TSA Agent
Right.
- [27:54]
Clay Travis
It makes it more dangerous because people are sometimes not showing up. And that means that the usual security screenings are not working as effectively as they otherwise would be. Given the fact that we just saw New York City, Old Dominion University in Virginia, down in Austin, Texas, and also outside of Detroit, attempted terror attacks, does it shock anyone that there might be a potential terror attack involving airplanes? Again, no, of course not. And there is no basis here of anything getting better. This is the worst of politics. And I just think it's absurd that right now many of you out there traveling don't have any idea. And I'll put myself in this camp because I'm traveling on Sunday and then I'm traveling again on Tuesday. I have no idea how long the lines might be at my airport. You don't really have any clue. And so you may show up and have an issue. And if you're out there and you're saying, are you sure how bad this is, Clay, again, I mentioned Atlanta, Houston and New York City. Here is in Atlanta news first reporter talking about how bad things are in Atlanta right now, which is one of our nation's busiest airports. Cut 32. Give them this perspective. It's unbelievable. Thousands and thousands of travelers just trying to get through the main TSA checkpoint. They have wrapped this line through the baggage claim area over here by Delta. Okay, so that's Atlanta. Here is a woman showing what's going on in Houston at the tsa. Two and a half hour wait to get through security. Everybody's missing flights. Two and a half hour wait is insane. Cut 33.
- [29:44]
Katie Miller
This is all the TSA line. The line where you get your ID
- [29:50]
Clay Travis
and boarding pass checked is all the way up there.
- [29:53]
Katie Miller
It comes around here, all the way
- [29:58]
Clay Travis
around, all the way around, all the way around. It snakes through here. But then you have to take the
- [30:06]
Katie Miller
escalator over there down to the baggage claim downstairs.
- [30:11]
Clay Travis
And that's how you end up down
- [30:13]
Katie Miller
here right now, according to that board, it says that the wait is 150 minutes. Not sure if that's accurate.
- [30:23]
Clay Travis
I mean, that is crazy. Two and a half hours to get through security. Again, Democrats are to blame here. And I actually talked to my mother in law, stepmother in law, she's down here visiting right now with us and she was talking about how awful the, the lines were in Detroit area. And she immediately, she had a friend who, who missed a very significant event because she couldn't get through the. The TSA line. And she immediately reached out and contacted her congressperson. And I would just tell all of you that you should be doing this. Democrats are to blame right now. We could get all the TSA paid. They could go back to work with full pay and not have to worry about it at all. And the fact that this is allowed to occur, I think is the worst of Washington. And what I told you yesterday, I'm going to stick behind. Anytime the government shuts down, every single congressperson, every single senator and all of their staffs should not get paid, should. I think it would end very quickly. I think it would end almost instantaneously. If the congresspeople and the senators and all their staffs, if everybody who was involved in working for the federal government suddenly wasn't paid, then I think you would have almost no issue going forward with shutdowns like this occurring. If you want to argue about how money should be allocated, how money should be spent, more power to you. But we got to end this absurdity of every few months we have a different shutdown going on. It's accelerating and becoming more common. And I don't care whether it's a Democrat or a Republican in office. I don't care whether it's a Democrat or Republican in the House or the Senate. Everyone who is unable to get a budget done and unable to fund the workers should not get paid themselves. And I guarantee you, if we put these two together, I don't think we'd ever have another shutdown. I think, amazingly, people in Washington would find out a way to get these things resolved if their own paychecks were on the line. All right, we come back. I play a couple of cuts for you. Chuck Norris, who is a legend, passed away, I believe, at the age of 86. He changed from being a Democrat to a Republican. I'll play that for you, and then we will honor him. Some of you will remember Chuck Norris as an Internet meme. That was one of the very first Internet memes to really take off about just how much of a badass Chuck Norris was. We'll play all that for you. And then in the third hour, I've got stuff that is guaranteed, I think, to make you happy, all positive. I'm going to try to send you into the weekend with a ton of positive things. Now, by the way, it's Friday afternoon, and news, a lot of times breaks on Friday afternoon. That's bad. So my goal and my intent is to share with you super positive news in the third hour of the program. By the way, Buck, I mentioned this earlier in the show, but is out today and Monday. Just hanging out with his family, taking a couple of days off after the release of his best selling book, which I would encourage you guys to go buy Manufacturing Delusion. But he will be back with me on Tuesday. But I've got you for the rest of today and also for Monday. And right now, by the way, I'm drinking Crockett coffee and I would encourage all of you to drink Crockett coffee. It's coffee made for people who love America. I know it's crazy. There are still some of us out there and it's fantastic. Named after Davy Crockett, legendary, born in Tennessee and but also a legendary died in Texas, which I think makes him an honorary Texan, even if Texas didn't exist as a state at the time that he died back on March 6, 1836. I think I got that right with the Alamo. But I want to tell you, if you're a homeowner, you know there's always something that needs repairing. Maybe it's a small thing like a faucet, or maybe it's going to end up being a large expense. The one area of the house you won't know is in need of repair until too late.

We're going to get to some of your calls here in a moment, but I did want to mention Chuck Norris here. Legendary figure across many different disciplines. A lot of you I would imagine will know him well, 86 years old, passed away earlier today. And we've got a couple of cuts for you in honor of Chuck Norris. One of them is Chuck Norris explaining why he became a Republican after beginning his life as a Democrat. Listen, are you a conservative, sir? Well, I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left and the Republicans moved into their position that The Democrats were 40 years ago. And so what the Democrats believed 40 years ago, the Republicans believe today. And so I realized that I had to go to Republican because the Democrats just got too far up off the off the trail. They just got completely off the trail and lost all reality of what America stood for. And so I realized that Republicans at this point in time are more focused on what is best for America than what the Democrats are. There you have it. Probably a lot of you nodding along there who may have had similar political evolutions in your life. Life here is humor. All right. So I think the Chuck Norris memes that you're about to hear was one of the first things that I remember really going mega viral on the Internet. And, and essentially it was Chuck Norris is such a badass. Like, Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups. He pushes the earth down beneath him. And that's not a hundred percent reflective of what it was. But for those of you who are like me and have been active on the Internet for a long time, it was impossible to miss the Chuck Norris meme era of the Internet. And here are some of those jokes that were told about Chuck Norris and just how much of a badass he was. Listen, don't look now, Chuck Norris is right behind you. I heard superheroes read Chuck Norris comics. I heard at night the boogeyman checks into the bed for Chuck. I heard Chuck Norris's reflection won't even look him in the eye. I heard one person, cops need cops.

I Heard when Chuck Norris is hiking, grizzlies look out for him. I had Chuck Norris rising water without the cycle. I heard Chuck Norris wears a hat to protect the sun. I heard medicine takes Chuck Norris to feel better. I heard it would actually kill the dinosaurs. Was Chuck Norris. I heard cat say they have chug like reflexes. I think he still got it. I bet you a bucky catches the salt shaker. You're on. Hey Chuck, You owe me a buck. So that was kind of the humorous Chuck Norris. I know those were very fast spoken, but if you're, if you want to laugh a little bit, great. Chuck Norris jokes. 86 years old. Rest in peace to Chuck Norris. Prayers to the family and friends of Chuck Norris. An American original. Okay, a lot of you want to weigh in. We got a bunch of callers here. I'll start with Robin in Alabama. Robin, what you got for us?

Hey, I just want to ask a question about the Tesla. You guys are hyping it up and that's great. I actually kind of want one. My question is I do a lot of driving like 40,000 miles per year, and I have a problem with deer because I'm in rural Alabama and I have been hit by a deer and I have actually hit two deer. How is it at like defensive driving in situations like that for stuff just suddenly pops in the road?
- [42:55]
Clay Travis
I think it's better, honestly. I think it's better than the average driver. And I'll give you an example. Not deer, but deer. One of the most dangerous things that happens to anybody out there is actually hitting deer. If you look at the insurance rates, I mean, if we could eliminate human collisions with deer, it would be far better. It's one of the challenges is, as Robin's just saying, they kind of come out of nowhere and there's very limited opportunity to react to it. So the way that the Tesla self drive works is every time there is an impact, and I'm making it simple because I'm not a tech genius, every time there is an accident or an impact, they study their cameras that surround your car that are being that are used to help give the self driving car instructions. Every time there is some sort of collision, they go back and readdress the issue and make the car better at trying to deal with that difficulty. So tens of millions, hundreds of millions, probably of miles driven, every time a new incident occurs, they put it into the AI and make it better at dealing with it. Now it's not going to be perfect because in some situations like that, a deer can come out of nowhere. But I'll tell you one that stunned me. So I was driving and by driving I mean the Tesla was driving with my 15 year old, taking him to go meet a bunch of friends for a dinner. And we had just had a bad storm come through in Nashville, this is a couple of weeks ago and it knocked out a lot of the, a lot of the cameras and sorry, knocked out a lot of the traffic lights. And so we came up on one of those spots where there is a four way traffic light and the traffic light was completely out and it had only been out for a short period of time. It certainly had happened in the last 30 or 45 minutes. The car handled it perfectly, actually better than your average driver did. Because if you remember, and again, I think I've got this right. In a four way stop style situation where the traffic light is not working, you're supposed to alternate and take turns going through. But if you've ever been in those situations, you know that some people don't wait. They follow the car in front of them, they try to jump the line, so to speak. Everybody's backed up. The thing that I would say about the Tesla was it followed the law better in terms of taking its turn than most of the drivers did. And it was able to adjust in real time when drivers broke the law because somebody else is cutting in front of me when it's my turn. The Tesla saw them coming and adjusted even though it was in the right to avoid, avoid a conflict, to avoid a collision. So look, I'm blown away with how spectacular this is. I really do think it's the future. We come back. Super positive news. Get ready.
