Published | Video Starts at 18:06

And we, we do, We do not have, we have never said. We have another president to say, say that we don't have like a first use, non first use policy. Right. What does that mean? Well, whether you would use nuclear weapons against a country before they were used against us, obviously we know the history of World War II. (18:06–18:13)
