00:00Some people around here call me cranky.

00:03I've got a couple of buddies that call me cranky.

00:05You know what makes me cranky? Stupid.

00:08What makes me cranky is when we tarnish the extraordinary execution of a mission I fully support in Venezuela

00:15by turning around and making insane comments about how it is our right to have territory owned by the Kingdom of Denmark.

00:27Folks, amateur hour is over.

00:31You don't speak on behalf of this U.S. Senator or the Congress.

00:35You can say it may be the position of the President of the United States that Greenland should be a part of the United States,

00:41but it's not the position of this government.

00:44They're not refusing to have us have access to project power into the Arctic.

00:49We can do it without taking over a NATO country.

00:53That's the sort of advice that they should have been given.

00:55So if the President thought it was a good idea, then he needs the expertise to say,

00:58Mr. President, that's why this is not a good idea.

01:01And I would defy you to find any credible general with a star on his shoulder who would say that it is,

01:08because they understand that the NATO alliance is what has kept this nation largely,

01:13or this world, largely safe for over 75 years.

01:16The flip side could be that Mr. Miller or somebody else said,

01:21hey, this would be cool.

01:22Let's take over Greenland.

01:23It'll be like a big aircraft carrier.

01:25Well, that's stupid, too.

01:27And I'm sick of stupid.

01:29I want good advice for this President,

01:31because I want this President to have a good legacy.

01:33And this nonsense on what's going on with Greenland

01:36is a distraction from the good work he's doing,

01:38and the amateurs who said it was a good idea should lose their jobs.
