Announcing that protesters have five minutes to disperse.
Even if they open up the road, with protesters on either side, they will throw rocks and other projectiles at Trump supporters and other attendees.
Four minutes to leave the area.

Air Force One is currently in flight. We have a but of cell service so your pooler is taking the opportunity to send along a full transcript of the president’s comments from JBA and some other details from the flight.
Here’s the president’s full remarks from the tarmac. He did not take any questions:
“Thank you very much. We’re going to Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore is in great shape and it’s going to be in great shape for centuries to come. Looking forward to it. I’ll be making a speech there. I’ll be seeing a lot of people – a lot of different people – and I think it will be a fantastic evening. The economy’s doing very well. Our jobs number was the biggest number in history, in the history of our country, bigger even than last month by almost double. So a lot of good things are happening, a lot of very powerful things are happening, and our country’s doing very well. I think we will have a V-shape if you look at what’s going on, if you look at the numbers all over. I think we’re going to have a very strong V-shape. And I will see you on the airplane. Thank you. I’ll see you on the airplane.”
So far, we have not seen him on the plane.
As we boarded the flight, the pool saw Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and national security adviser Robert O’Brien get on the plane. Here on board, all of the TVs on the plane are turned to Fox News. One segment featured a “flashback” of Geraldo Rivera’s motorcycle road trip to Mount Rushmore.
A meal was served including filet mignon, bacon wrapped asparagus, and red velvet cake.
We are flying low and may be doing a flyover of Mount Rushmore momentarily. The pool is glued to the windows.

Air Force One landed at Ellsworth Air Force Base at 6:40 pm local time.
There were no notable visitors to the press cabin.
Shortly befote 6:30 pm, the plane made a steep turn that was presumably the Mount Rushmore flyover. We could not see the sculpture from on board.
We have been informed we will have to make a quick dash to Marine One for the ride to the Mount Rushmore landing zone.
Wonderful video!
Subject: Travel Pool Report #5 - Heading to Mt Rushmore
Marine One came to a stop on the tarmac at 6:45 pm. President Trump and the First Lady departed the plane five minutes later.
He was greeted by a group that included Sen. John Thune, Gov. Kristi Noem, Col. David Doss, and Col. Daniel Hoadley.
The president briefly spoke to them as wind blowing across the tarmac blew his tie over his shoulder. He did not attempt to fix his tie.
Tiffany Trump and Dan Scavino got off the plane at 6:52 pm. Your pooler also spotted Hope Hicks as we made a mad dash across the tarmac to the Ospreys.
We did not see the president board Marine One. We are told all the helicopters will take off at the same time. We are lifting off momentarily en route to the Mount Rushmore Landing Zone.
One note - your pooler has been told there is no wi fi service at Mount Rushmore. Pool reports may be delayed or spotty from the event. We will try our best. The president’s remarks from the ampitheater will be broadcast.
Leave them there.

Cheers! Is that a Leinenkugel?
Tonight, @TheLeoTerrell says that he’s embarrassed to be a Democrat because of the @DNC tweeting that the President @realDonaldTrump’s speech at Mt. Rushmore was racist. He went on to say that if you want to look at a racist look at @JoeBiden” pic.twitter.com/iZhjBmFI18— PARIS (@PARISDENNARD) July 4, 2020

What have they been doing all this time? If I was waiting to get through for the event I would have a stroke.
