Published | Video Starts at 11:54

Now, any president at any time could spend 40, $50 billion and go to war with any country and for a month, not even come before the American people tell you why. And by the way, when he's finished with Iran, He has told us, I want to take Cuba. He has told us that, hey, maybe I will take Greenland as well. This is a president, if he's not checked, is setting number one, a new standard that is dangerous and unconstitutional and against what the founders said. (11:54–12:04)
