00:00Mr. President, what advice do you have for Republicans on Capitol Hill heading into midterms?

00:06What do they need to do? What can they do to, you know, hold...

00:09Well, one of the things they're going to be talking about pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices.

00:15You know, we've cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 percent.

00:21I don't mean 50 percent. I mean 1,400, 1,500 percent.

00:25Because we're going favored nations. We want the same price as Europe gets.

00:30We want the same price as other country gets.

00:32And over the years, 25, 30 years ago, it started where they were charging us much more.

00:38And I put an end to it, you know, with a letter that you saw last week.

00:41So I think that's going to be a point.

00:43I don't know how anybody could win an election if they're on the other side of that issue.

00:47So we'll be dropping drug prices.

00:49It'll start over the next two to three months by 1,200, 1,300, and even 1,400 percent and 500 percent.

00:57But not just 50 percent or 25 percent, which normally would be a lot.

01:03Because the rest of the world pays much less for the identical drug.

01:07And we're going to be paying the same thing.

01:09We're going to have a favored nation.

01:10We will pay as low as the lowest nation in the world.

01:13And then, Mr. Price.
