You know, we'll help the country's economy, and if the economy is doing better, democracy will follow.

But we know that's not the case. There's no talk of democracy, is there?

There isn't, Stephanie, but we're not a dictatorship. We're not a monarchy.

The American people don't have to get behind Trump just because he picked up Maduro,

and now we're going to extort them

for $2.5 billion, $3 billion of oil. I want us to have a debate about that. Do you realize how

crazy this is? We picked him up and now it's gangster diplomacy, right? Pay us $2 or $3 billion,

and we will let your regime stay in place. And for many, many years, Senator Rubio,

maybe he forgot what he used to say. We talked about this dictatorship and the dictatorship

is still in place. Every single person is there so it's not regime change. And now the president

is just going to take a bribe so that we don't run the country

that we don't do regime change. And I want to suggest that this is not the way we should conduct

our foreign policy abroad. This does not serve the interests of the American people. Even the

president's comment, this is going to be for the American people and the Venezuelan people

this money. What does that mean? How completely insane this idea is on so many levels. First of all,

there is no national security interest that we need to seize Greenland. They have not made the case.

We can have as many soldiers there as we want. We have bases there. I worked in the government. I know how we've used Greenland

before. We can do that through negotiation. Second, they roll out minerals. We can sign treaties.

We can sign agreements, contracts to get minerals.

There is no reason to go back to 19th century imperialism.

But third, to your point, Stephanie, not only would it blow up NATO,

it would alienate the United States from the entire world,
