At any moment, the interim government's grip on power could deteriorate. The vice president, the former vice president under Maduro, who is now the president, is totally unreliable, is corrupt and hates America. That's who we're relying on, what kind of plan is this? And again, it's not enough for senators to walk into a classified briefing and hear the administration's sales pitch. (03:08–03:18)
