This grandson of an Irish immigrant, after whom I was named, Richard Michael Cawley is my grandfather. I was right that - and I always tell kids that, you know, if my small life represents anything is that if you work hard, you study hard, and you never give up on your dreams and listen to people that care about, you can live those dreams. And for me to be up on the platform standing with my right hand in the air in the presence of my family and our new president [Donald Trump], it just tells me this is a great country. My grandfather was right.

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny.

The American people want change, and they see in Donald Trump a leader who embodies the American spirit.

With regard to Turkey, I have been to Ankara. Turkey is a democracy. We certainly, we certainly, in the future, ought to encourage our ally to live up to their own democratic institutions and their own democratic ideals.

If I'm vice president of the United States and Donald Trump is president, we're going to put the safety and security of the American people first.
