00:00You have said that Canada should become the 51st state.
00:03No, no. Well, I still believe that, but, you know, it takes two to tango, right?
00:09But, no, I do. I mean, I believe it would be a massive tax cut for the Canadian citizens.
00:16You get free military, you get tremendous medical cares and other things.
00:21There would be a lot of advantages, but it would be a massive tax cut.
00:26And it's also a beautiful, you know, as a real estate developer, you know, I'm a real estate developer at heart.
00:33When you get rid of that artificially drawn line, somebody drew that line many years ago with like a ruler,
00:37just a straight line right across the top of the country.
00:40When you look at that beautiful formation when it's together, I'm a very artistic person.
00:47But when I looked at that beauty, I said that's the way it was meant to be.
00:50But, you know, I guess I do feel it's much better for Canada.
00:55But we're not going to be discussing that unless somebody wants to discuss it.
01:00I think that there are tremendous benefits to the Canadian citizens, tremendously lower taxes, free military,
01:07which honestly we give you essentially anyway because we're protecting Canada if you have had a problem.
01:12But I think, you know, it would really be a wonderful marriage because it's two places they get along very well.
01:20They like each other a lot.
01:22Well, if I may, as you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale.
01:29That's true.
01:30We're sitting in one right now, you know, Buckingham Palace that you visited as well.
01:34That's true.
01:34And having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale, won't be for sale ever.
01:44But the opportunity is in the partnership and what we can build together.
01:49We have done that in the past.
01:50And part of that, as the President just said, is with respect to our own security.
01:57They have, I must say, Canada is stepping up the military participation because Mark knew, you know, they were low and now they're stepping it up.
02:07And that's a very important thing.
02:09But never say never.
02:10Never say never.
02:11When you consider what Mr. Carney just said, that Canada is not for sale, does this make the discussion a little more difficult to start on?
02:22No, not at all.
02:23No, not at all.
02:24No, time.
02:25Time will tell.
02:26It's only time.
02:27But I say, never say never.
02:30I've had many, many things that were not doable and they ended up being doable.
02:34And only doable in a very friendly way.
02:36But if it's to everybody's benefit, you know, Canada loves us and we love Canada.
02:42That's, I think, the number one thing that's important.
02:45But we'll see.
02:46I mean, over time, we'll see what happens.
