1 the book "Profiles in Courage" was all about. When John F. Kennedy wrote that book,
2 that was people who had made very hard decisions against what they were doing, even if
3 it was voting against an impeachment of the President of the United States, you know,
4 which was done in the 1860s. And my point to him was that.
5 So I talked to him a few times that day when he was in the EOB. I talked to Marc
6 Short, and that day and subsequent days I told him I think they ought to put their big boy
7 pants on, or words to that effect.
8 Q Okay. So getting back to the Vice President, when you said he should be a
9 chapter in "Profiles in Courage," I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but did you
10 agree with the position he took?
11 Q I agreed with -- I agreed with the position he took as a person, and he
12 followed his beliefs. And in the face of that, in a very tough environment, he stood his
13 ground, and he stood what he was -- you know, tried to.
14 Candidly, I wish he had -- I wish he'd taken the advice, very candidly, of former
15 President -- Vice President Quayle, and it's something I'd said to Marc Short, and they did,
16 which I said, you should have asked the Parliamentarian of the Senate what to do.
17 Q But you don't know if he did that or not, right?
18 A No. I don't think he did.
19 Q When you spoke to the Vice President, we talked about emotions being raw,
20 was he angry about--
21 A No.
22 Q -- what happened on January 6th?
23 A No. Mike Pence never -- look. I gave them both -- they have -- his
24 nickname by the Secret Service was the Hoosier. Mogul was the President. I gave
25 them Fire and Ice. Fire was the President, Ice was Pence.
