00:00Again, we don't really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly.
00:05We want to make our own cars, and we're now equipped to do that.
00:09They took a lot of our car business, Mexico too, took a lot of our car business.
00:13We want to make the cars here.
00:14I'm running this country, I'm not running Canada.
00:17And that's why I asked Trudeau, who I call Governor Trudeau, affectionately,
00:23but I asked him, why are we spending $200 billion to support Canada, to subsidize Canada?
00:31And he was unable to answer the question.
00:33I mean, why are we doing that?
00:35And I have to be honest, as a state, it works great.
00:40As a nation, considering the fact that most of the nation, you know, 95% of Canada,
00:47what they do is they buy from us, and they sell to us.
00:50They sell to us.
00:51If we didn't buy their oil, if we didn't buy their...
00:54And we don't need their oil.
00:56They have more oil than anyone, but we don't need their oil.
00:59We don't need their lumber.
01:00We don't need their cars.
01:00We don't need anything.
01:02So I said, why are we doing this?
01:04Why are we spending $200 billion?
01:06It doesn't make sense.
01:06If we needed something, that would be a different subject.
01:11So I'm working well with Canada.
01:14We're doing very well.
01:15We're working on a deal.
01:17We'll see what happens.
01:18But, again, you know, why, representing this country, why are we spending $200 billion to support and subsidize another country?
01:31Because if they didn't have us, and if we didn't spend that money, as Trudeau told me, they would cease to exist.
01:38He said that to me.
01:39They would cease to exist, which is true, certainly as a country.
01:42On tourism, there's been a steep drop-off in international travel to the United States.
01:49It was down 12% last month, down even more from Western Europe.
01:54Why do you think that there are fewer people suddenly who want to travel to the United States?
01:59Well, there could be a little, you know, there's a little nationalism there, I guess, perhaps.
02:03It's not a big deal.
02:04But, you know, with the dollar being where it is, because, you know, China would always fight for having a low dollar.
02:12Japan would always fight for having a low dollar, meaning a low yen, or, in the case of China, the yuan.
02:18They'd always want to have China would always, I'd speak to President Xi a lot.
02:23I'd say it's unfair that you, you know, your yuan is so low.
02:27I'd call up a great man, Prime Minister Abe, great, great man, Shinzo, who was, unfortunately, assassinated.
02:38And I used to tell you, he was a good friend of mine, I used to say, Shinzo, you gotta, you can't let your yen go down.
02:43It makes it very hard for us to sell tractors.
02:45It makes it very hard for us to get tourism.
02:47And our dollar is a little bit on the left side.
02:52And that means that a lot of tourism is going to come in.
02:55But I could see a little bit of nationalism at work.
02:58And I could see it likewise with us, not wanting to go to certain countries.
03:02But that will work out very easily.
