If there is a single most productive thing [from the trip], my hope is that it will be that the relationship between us and the Vatican leads to a lot fewer people getting killed and a lot less humanitarian disaster.

50th Vice President of the United States in the Trump administration; formerly U.S. Senator from Ohio.
I hope it’s the beginning of a very good relationship, because I think he does care a lot about peace.
You can probably imagine that people in the United States are extremely excited about you.
You love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country.
We can pray for good health but also recognize that if you’re not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn’t be doing the job.
We really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.
I definitely think the president has a lot of trust in me, and I’m honored by it, and I think it makes me a more effective vice president.
We talked a lot about what’s going on in Israel and Gaza. We talked a lot about the Russia-Ukraine situation.
'So, if you're willing to stop the killing, the United States is willing to be a partner for peace.'
'economic benefits to thawing relations between Russia and the rest of the world, but you're not going to get those benefits.'
We really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.
This is serious stuff. This is a guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world's largest nuclear arsenal.
I blame him less than I blame the people around him. Why didn't the American people have a better sense of his health picture?
That's not politics. That's not because I disagreed with him on policy. That's because I don't think that he was in good enough health.
Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.
We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it’s taking off.
I recognize very much that I am a baby Catholic, that there are things about the faith that I don’t know.
Too many American Catholics have failed to show proper deference to the papacy, treating the pope as a political figure to be criticized or praised according to their whims.
We are not called as Christians to obsess over every social media controversy that implicates the Catholic Church.
The pope was fundamentally a person who cares about the flock of Christians under his leadership.
Of course, the American pope — the United States is very proud of him, very thrilled with him, and certainly our prayers go with him.
We wish the best for the former president's health and, you know, it sounds pretty serious, but, but hopefully he makes the right recovery.
