01:00Apparently, that legal research hasn't brought any clear answer yet
01:04because Trump was then looking at rebuilding Alcatraz.
01:08Remember Alcatraz?
01:09Burt Lancaster?
01:10Clint Eastwood?
01:12Yes, that famous prison island in San Francisco Bay.
01:16In other words, he needs more prison space.
01:19And here's where the EU comes in.
01:21Because if it's island prisons Trump is looking for,
01:26Europe has plenty to offer.
01:28I know of three.
01:30Let's start with the Chateau d'If of the coast of Marseille.
01:34You know the Count of Monte Cristo and all that?
01:37It would need some serious patching up, but it's pretty safe.
01:40And Trump would need to deal with his pal Emmanuel Macron
01:43and not with Brussels bureaucrats or the obnoxious Germans.
01:48Then there is Devil's Island, also French,
01:50but off the coast of French Guayana in South America, closer to Trump.
01:55Remember, Henri Charrier wrote the best-selling novel Papillon
01:59about his successful escape from there.
02:01Devil's Island would also need some serious rebuilding,
02:04but it's okay.
02:06Trump is saving a lot of money right now.
02:08And finally, a place called Goli Otok,
02:11also a former prison island off the coast of Croatia.
02:15It used to be a prison camp under Tito,
02:18but today it's in ruins, a little like Alcatraz.
02:22Goli Otok means barren island
02:25because it's completely devoid of vegetation.
02:28You get the idea.
02:29So, if this prisons for tariffs pitch fails,
02:33Europe could point Trump to the criminal justice system
02:36in the Netherlands,
02:37where the prison population shrank drastically
02:39over the past 20 years.
02:41Why?
02:42Largely because of rehabilitation efforts.
02:45Some empty prisons have even been repurposed as hotels.
02:49And this might appeal to the real estate mogul in Trump.
02:55Thanks for watching.
02:57See you soon.
