White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out of town report #4 - House GOP conference chair remarks
Pool is now in the ballroom for POTUS remarks to the House GOP conference
House Republican conference chair Lisa McClain is speaking currently
Rush quotes from McClain:
“Everyone in this room knows what’s at stake in November. History will tell us the party in the majority is supposed to lose seats. History tells us that momentum shifts. But I don’t know about you: history’s been wrong a lot this year.”
“They were wrong when they said that we are going to elect our current president, Donald Trump. So you know what? I think we are going to defy history again.”

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out of town report #5 - POTUS rush quotes
POTUS walked to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” and started speaking at 4:50p ET
ON IRAN (more Iran lower down)
“We’re making America great again. We're doing it much faster than we thought, and it's better, stronger. Our country is doing really well, at a level that nobody thought. We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some people. And I think you'll see it's going to be a short term excursion. How good is our military? In my first term, we rebuilt our military, and I didn't know I'd be using it so much in the second term. But we have a military like no other as not even close.
ON HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP
“We have some great people in this room, but including a majority leader, a real brave guy, because I know the real story. I was there that night with him in the hospital when he was given a very small chance of living by a doctor who was very good by a wife who was desperately in love with him. She cried so much … She was really she was just devastated she was going to lose her guy. But it worked out. The doctor said more blood was put into him than he's ever seen. He was he was in big trouble. I looked at him that night and I said goodbye to him, but he made it. He was braver. Look at the way fought back.
“Tom Emmer, who I really got to know over the last few years. And I'll tell you, he's a winner who's a champion with another great wife, good wife … Tom is just a real champion and a winner. You have a problem, you go to him.
“We all know, Lisa [McClain] don't get on her wrong side. It can be a very very bad experience. Very special.
ON DEFENSE FUNDING
“The representatives in this room provided the pivotal votes in securing the record $1 trillion for the United States military this year. Now, the world is witnessing the importance of that investment with one of the most complex and stunning operations ever conducted, and that's operation Epic Fury.
“That’s even better than Midnight Hammer, which was pretty good too. That was where we knocked out their nuclear potential. That was a big day, because if we didn't do that, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks, and I think we'd be in a lot different situation. And then you had, of course, what they did in Venezuela, how that was. It was just so far so done a real job. We've got all the good ones.
