00:00During the campaign, Prime Minister Carney talked about the American betrayal.
00:06How did you react if Canada decided not to shop in the American store as much as before
00:12and decided to partner with other countries?
00:15Well, we don't do much business with Canada from our standpoint.
00:18They do a lot of business with us.
00:21We're at like 4%, and usually those things don't last very long.
00:25You know, we have great things, great product.
00:27The kind of product we sell, nobody else can sell.
00:30Including military.
00:32Look, we make the best military equipment in the world, and Canada buys our military equipment, which we appreciate.
00:39But we make the best military equipment in the world by far.
00:42The missiles, the submarines, everything.
00:45Everything we have is really top-notch.
00:47I rebuilt our military during our last term.
00:50Stupidly, we gave some away to Afghanistan, which shouldn't have happened.
00:53But that was, I think it was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
01:00It was just very incompetent people.
01:03But if you look, the man that's now the head of our Joint Chiefs, he led the attack on ISIS for me.
01:09That's why he's the head of the Joint Chiefs.
01:10And Raisin Cain, he was unbelievable.
01:15And as you know, we defeated ISIS in three weeks.
01:19It was supposed to take five years.
01:21We did it in three weeks.
01:23And he ran the campaign.
01:24I said, I like him.
01:25But I knew him before.
01:26I went to Iraq, and we agreed to a plan, and that was the plan.
01:31And as you know, we did it in record time.
01:34So we have, you know, we have the best equipment in the world.
01:38We have the best, a lot of things.
01:41But Canada does a lot more business with us than we do with Canada.
01:46Yeah.
