“He was a consistent and powerful advocate for peace because he understood that in order for us to be truly free and and prosperous, we must be at peace. He understood the importance of President Eisenhower's farewell address when he warned that, quote, in the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or our democratic process.” (11:12–11:26)
