00:00They have up to 400 percent, they have a couple of tariffs at 400 percent.
00:30Nobody knows that.
00:30Nobody talks about that.
00:32And remember, with Canada, we don't need their cars.
00:35We don't need their lumber.
00:36We don't need their energy.
00:37We don't need anything from Canada, and yet it costs us $200 billion a year in subsidy
00:42to keep Canada afloat.
00:44So when I say they should be a state, I mean that.
00:46I really mean that because we can't be expected to carry a country that is right next to us
00:56on our border.
00:57It would be a great state. It would be a cherished state.
01:00The taxes for Canadian citizens would go down in less than half.
01:06They don't spend money on military
01:08because they think we're going to protect them.
01:10There are many things that they do, like icebreakers.
01:13They want us to provide icebreakers for them.
01:15Oh, that's wonderful.
01:17So, the Canada — they're very tough traders, too, Canada.
01:21I want to just tell you, all the people —
01:23they're tough traders. They trade very tough.
01:26And, you know, the expression I use is,
01:30some people don't have the cards.
01:31I used that expression about a week and a half ago, right?
01:34Somebody was negotiating who didn't have the cards,
01:36who's now, I think, saying that he wants to do it.
01:39And he's — I think we're going to have a big deal on that.
01:42Very special something. We got to make a deal on that.
01:45But Canada has been a very nasty negotiator
01:48against the United States.
01:49Took advantage of the United States for a long time.
01:52But nobody knows that they were getting 270 percent
01:55tariffs on dairy products.
01:57The Press.
01:58The Press.
02:00I don't think I've heard you say this
02:01in all of the talk about Canada becoming the 51st state.
02:04Are you concerned that if they became the 51st state,
02:08they would be a very, very blue state?
02:11Very, very big and very, very blue.
02:12No, they might be. But it would —
02:15you know, you have that artificial line
02:17that goes — that straight artificial —
02:19that looked like it was drawn by a ruler.
02:21Somebody with a — I don't mean a ruler, like a king.
02:23I mean, like a ruler, like a ruler.
02:26This way. And it's just an artificial line
02:29that was drawn in the sand or in the ice.
02:33And you know what I'm going to tell you, Peter?
02:34Just — you add that to this country,
02:38what a beautiful landmass.
02:39The most beautiful landmass anywhere in the world.
02:42And it was just cut off for whatever reason.
02:45It would be great. Now, is it liberal?
02:48Maybe. But, you know, a conservative,
02:49until I got involved —
02:51because I don't care who wins up there.
02:53And, frankly, probably would do better with the liberal
02:55than the conservative, if you want to know the truth.
02:57But just a little while ago, before I got involved
03:01and totally changed the election —
03:03which I don't care about,
03:06probably it's to our advantage, actually —
03:08but the conservative was leading against —
03:11I call him Governor Trudeau —
03:13the conservative was leading by 35 points.
03:15So, you know, so I don't know about that.
03:18I think Canada is a place like a lot of other places.
03:21If you have a good candidate, the candidate's going to win.
