If you children leave, people are going to recognize that in Washington and it's gonna cause people to panic. And you need to go, you need to go to school. You need to show that everything has come. and be good soldiers. And he also said that if there is a nuclear war, it will be better to be dead than to be alive. Now, I did not go along with that.
