Drive a hard bargain, but let’s pursue free trade with free nations, most especially our trading partners to the north.

I also believe it'd be altogether fitting to put Sen. Lindsey Graham's name on that bill.

I really do believe there would be no more fitting tribute to the life and vision of Senator Lindsey Graham than for Congress to pass and the president to sign the tough Russia sanctions bill.

Truly Treasure in Heaven to see this godly man of faith set free.

My only purpose was to keep my oath.

I think the American people would do well to reflect in the 250th year since the signing of the Declaration [of Independence], on the framework of our constitution and to particularly encourage our elected representatives to take back the…

It smacks of the kind of appeasement the president rightly rejected during our first term.

The president deserves tremendous credit for taking the fight directly to Tehran, and every American should welcome the prospect of peace.

Maximum pressure worked. America’s military strength worked. The blockade worked. Iran came to the table because the regime’s existence teetered on a knife’s edge.

This 60-day period should be used to secure what this agreement doesn’t yet provide: an end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, an end to Iranian-backed terror, and an end to its half-century of warfare against the U.S. and Israel.

But the memorandum of understanding with Iran signed last week falls well short of what is required to end the Iranian threat.

The reported MOU with Iran smacks of the kind of appeasement that we saw during the Obama years.

That’s it. And no vice president in history had ever asserted any authority to decide what votes to count or send back to the states ... so I knew my duty was clear and I’ll always believe, by God’s grace, I did my duty.

You know, I’ve often told my kids the safest place in the world is to be in the center of God’s will. And I really knew I was where I was supposed to be.

I mean, under the Constitution, the vice president’s role is only to preside over a session of Congress where the electoral college votes are opened and counted.

But for anyone who assaulted a police officer, anybody that violated and vandalized the seat of our government and sought to disrupt the counting of electoral college votes, those people never should have been pardoned and they should…

Well, to be honest with you, I never felt a greater sense of resolve any day in my life than on Jan. 6.

I had no problem with the president pardoning people who got caught up in that day.

I hope the administration will drop the fund entirely.

It was a bad idea from the start and should be dropped.

The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people who assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable.

My hope is the administration will drop it, drop the idea entirely.

There's clearly been an effort by some to rewrite that history, but I don't expect it'll work.

I welcome that settlement greatly.
