Mike Pence

President Trump has said he would sign out of the United States Senate, sending it to the president's desk, putting real constraints on the energy industry in a Russia that fuels their war machine is the way to go.

Peace through strength has always been the American path in my adult life.

And it's still the answer today.

Well, I didn't have the opportunity to watch the hearings today, but I know what happened that day.

You sure do.

And I'll always believe, by God's grace, I did my duty to see to the peaceful transfer of power.

But with regard to our democracy as a whole, it's...

It's important to remember that every Republican and Democrat on Capitol Hill also did their duty that day.

After the Capitol Hill police quelled the riot, Joe, we reconvened the very same day, Republicans and Democrats alike, and completed our duty under the Constitution of the United States.

I've said that it's a day of tragedy, but it ultimately became a triumph of freedom.

Because our institutions held, our democracy held, and I have great confidence about the future of this country and the future of democracy as a result.

I honestly think that one of the reasons President Trump returned to the White House was because of the overt weaponization that took place at the state level and at the federal level around the country of the criminal justice system.

And I...

I would rather see this administration end that practice and pull back from the breach of embracing the very type of weaponization that the president endured for those years.

Look, as I said, I think the American people know what happened that day.

History will be the judge of all of us.

the events of that day.

But I have great peace that we did our duty, and I trust myself and our service to the judgment of history.

Well, those are not conservative policies.

And the organization I created when I left the White House, Advancing American Freedom Foundation, has been making the case that while the Trump-Pence years were defined by conservative policies at home and abroad, especially economic policies, that things are different now.
