Adam Smith actually said...

"I don't think we should simply say, 'Well, it is important so we are going to spend whatever it takes.'"

"We absolutely have to have a nuclear deterrent because, unfortunately, there other countries--and hostile countries like Russia, North Korea--that have nuclear weapons."

"We have to have enough of a deterrent to make sure that they never use them because they know that it would lead to their own destruction because of the size of our deterrent."

"I appreciate the focus on our nuclear weapons deterrent for this week. I think it is incredibly important."
