Let me make this pledge to you right here and now. For every American who is trying to do the right thing, for all those people in government who are honouring their pledge to uphold the law and respect our Constitution, no longer will the eight most dreaded words in the English language be: "The vice president's office is on the phone."

I think what Joe Biden is saying here is that he is ready to take the vice presidency and he is saying that he won't be sitting around doing nothing. He will always be working on something important. He doesn't want people to be doing nothing, he wants people to be fighting for what they want.
