How many more horses do you have? We have a couple we just let loose over there. We're trying to get as many as we can out. Are any homes out there on fire? Honestly, I did not pay attention.

It does go a little bit quicker because you can do the immigration stuff early. He praised what he called a wonderful Republican Congress, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson. We have a leader, by the way, in the Senate, I think has been great. John Thune has been doing a fantastic job.

Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News. A driver trying to reach a Colorado ski resort wound up stuck after his GPS steered him off course. In a video posted on Reddit, the driver of the Audi hatchback claims he was trying to get to the Keystone Resort's employee housing area Sunday night and following directions from Siri, but instead ended up at the bottom of a trail. His car then became stuck in the snow, and so that's when he wrote a note and said he'd be back tomorrow.
The following morning, the man alerted the resort as to what happened and went skiing as employees tried to help dig the car out but had no luck.
The resort then got the man a tow truck who pulled the man's car out. The Summit County Sheriff's Office noting the man did not receive a citation because his vehicle wasn't abandoned on a main road.
