POTUS entered the arena at 9:57 pm with Dana White, and the crowd roared. He shook hands with several folks in the crowd and greeted Mike Tyson and Joe Rogan before heading to his seat. He pumped his fist in the air as the crowd cheered back. Myah Ward White House reporter POLITICO Cell/signal: XXX-XXX-XXXX @MyahWard
The motorcade arrived to the Prudential Center at 9:34 pm. Pool could not see POTUS exit his vehicle. It was a mostly uneventful ride, aside from our pool van nearly hitting the one in front of us at one point. The vehicles in front had hit the brakes, and our driver was able to swerve and barely avoid the pool van in front of us. As we entered the city, groups of onlookers watched as the motorcade drove by. Your po…
The motorcade is rolling for the Prudential Center as of 8:56 pm for tonight’s UFC fight. Your poolers could not see POTUS enter his vehicle. Myah Ward White House reporter POLITICO Cell/signal: XXX-XXX-XXXX @MyahWard
“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.…

Otter file: https://otter.ai/u/7Rd2aDm4g1HV-_cwrbx2yAycY0Q One note from the gaggle some of our recordings didn't catch. After POTUS was asked about the fed chair, he was specifically asked about Kevin Warsh, to which he responded: “He’s very highly thought of." And a bit of color from the plane: While the pool was waiting for POTUS to come back, the door to the front cabin was open. CNN was playing on the TV, displ…

“I’ve heard there’s ‘pork’ in the One Big Beautiful Bill.” You heard wrong — and nobody puts it better than White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who confronted that lie head-on during an interview with Charlie Kirk. “There’s no pork in the bill. The bill has been public for weeks. Every single provision is just one campaign pledge, one promise, one campaign vow after another. The ONLY new spending in th…
AF1 touched down at Morristown Municipal Airport at 5:44 pm. POTUS came back to gaggle on the plane at 5:23 pm and fielded questions on Elon Musk, Abrego-Garcia (deferred to DOJ), the mega bill, Russia-Ukraine, Iran, China and the fed chair for about 12 mins. Your poolers are working quickly to transcribe and will send fuller quotes. Will also try to load audio into otter and share a file. Because of a bad weather c…
Sorry for slightly different formatting, team effort over here. Please check against transcript. Big thanks to co-poolers Jonathan Swan and Brian Schwartz for the assist: “It’s a lot of people here.. It’s a lot of people. “ “We visited the military courses we want to fix it up… it takes years to get something approved… two courses were very nice… they need a lot of work… we can fix them up good” Reporter Did you spe…
POTUS boarded Air Force One at 4:46 and did not speak with press. He appeared to say he would see us on the plane. We’re on the smaller plane today, so I will lose WiFi as soon as I step on. Will follow up when we touch down, and will be sure to fill you in on any in-flight gaggles. Departing shortly. Myah Ward White House reporter POLITICO XXX-XXX-XXXX
