Out-of-town pool report #4 - arrival at Rickenbaker International airport, correction to previous report on Vance

We were wheels up at 5:13 pm and wheels down at Rickenbaker International Airport at 6:05 pm.

An uneventful plane ride on the big plane.

Please find quotes below from the President's gaggle before boarding Air Force One at JBA. Please note a correction to the previous pool report, the President said he did not direct Vance to restart peace negotiations with Iran but said Vance asked him what he thought. Your pooler apologizes for the error.

On Bolsonaro, when asked about visas

Said his family was "treated very unfairly" but did not weigh in

"I didn't take a position in the election"

On Alaska

"It's terrible what's happened in Alaska"

"They created a fake candidate"

"Mary Peltola should resign from the race"

"She should be prosecuted, criminally for what she did"

"And I think that the people that participated... it turned out it was a scheme by the Democrats. That's what they do best, they cheat"

"It's a fraud to the public"

"It was a plot by the Democrat party and frankly they should be, I think they should be prosecuted. To me that's voter fraud at the highest level "

Did you direct Vice President Vance to restart peace negotiations with Iran

"No"

"He asked me what I thought and I said if you want to do that that's OK"

And then more on Alaska Senate race :

"I think Dan Sullivan, the fake Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola, should be, number one they should be taken off the ballot and number two they should be prosecuted"
