You can merge the economies.
You get an EU-type situation where you allow freedom of movement across the border and you allow no tariffs on all the stuff we need, the rare earth Canada has, the water, the paper, all that stuff.
And the only reason we're going to do that is so we can take 5% of our GDP, which will be the largest on earth, by around 25%.
No one will be close to us if we merge those two together and the benefits that accrue.
For one reason,
to tell the Chinese, don't fuck with us.
That's basically what's going to happen because they want to fuck with us big time.
And that's my belief.
And I think I'm right.
I think that's what's going to happen.
And AI and compute and all this stuff, that's a side story.
We have to keep all of our tech ahead of theirs, including data centers and everything else.
But ultimately, they are our adversary on our way of life.
But again, you have to choose the less of two evils in your scenario.
And I'm telling you, what you should do is say, I want Kevin O'Leary to succeed.
I want him to beat the Chinese in compute power.
And then use the laws of the United States to make sure that you keep that compute power in check whichever way you want.
But to not have it available, to put down my shovel –
I don't think people want me to do that.
Even the people in Box Elder, the majority of them want me to hold my shovel and start digging.
