Transcript – Full
Mr. Nixon, what is the truth about our defenses? How strong should they be? Well, they must be strong enough to keep us out of war, powerful enough to make the Communists in the Soviet Union and Red China understand that America will not tolerate being pushed around, that we can, if necessary, retaliate with such speed and devastation to make the risk too great for the Communists to start a war anyplace in the world. We have this kind of strength now, and we are getting stronger every day. We must never let the Communists think we are weak. This is both foolish and dangerous. And so I say, let's not tear America down. Let us speak up for America. Vote for Nixon and Lodge November 8th. They understand what peace demands. Thank you.
