The White House

I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.

I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war. We’ve been doing this for three months.

I’m going to do it either through negotiation, where we’re very close to a deal, or I’m going to blow the hell out of them, to be honest with you. And it’s going to be very easy for me to do that.

You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.

We’re very close. I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place.

It’s certainly not going to help negotiations.

Let's call it quits.

I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it.

All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.

I don't like these endless wars. This is not an endless war. We've been doing this for three months.

First of all, I didn't guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?

I appreciate that, Senator. It's always good to visit with you, my former colleague in the House.

We aren’t allowing any windmills to go up, and we don’t want the solar panels. Fossil fuel is the thing that works.

I’m very proud to have given them pardons, and I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government.

Just so you understand, these are people that have been decimated, that lost their lives over nonsense, where the FBI said, ‘go in, go in,’

It’s gonna have the big UFC fight on June 14th, and I’m looking at it and maybe we’ll never, ever take it down.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…

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

He managed this investigation — and it was a Herculean task — with very little error.

You're less shackled. It sort of gives you more power, you know, for a somewhat limited period of time.
