Is it a real thing? Yeah, it is. I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because We lose $200 billion a year with Canada. And I'm not going to let that happen. It's too much. Why would we do that? I asked Trudeau that question. I said, why would anybody want to lose $200 billion? (07:15–07:19)
