"They want me to call up, maybe go over there -- let me go over to Congress. Come on over to the White House, let's talk about it."

"I have a feeling -- it's just some very terrible -- something very terrible happened. Very devastating."

"Frankly, it's a check that I very much want to write."

"No, we got a call, we heard where he was, we knew the way he was getting there, and we had to make a decision."
