00:00It was a matter of seconds, and it was a matter of seconds that I got a phone call, let's work this out.
00:06We would have had not nearly the defense that we had.
00:10It would be a shame. It would be somewhat catastrophic for our country, I have to be honest with you.
00:17I don't want to get too much involved, but what we've done, you know, we're taking in hundreds of trillions of dollars.
00:24If you take a look at the numbers we have, we're at $17 trillion right now.
00:29We're going to be at $21 trillion, about $21 trillion by the time I've finished my first year.
00:37Biden, as an example, the Biden administration was at less than a trillion for four years.
00:43We're going to be at $21 trillion for one year.
00:47In the history of the world, there's never been a country that's done that.
00:51Not China, not the U.S., not anybody.
00:53And a lot of that is because of the tariffs and the fact that the president is a competent president that knows how to use them.
01:01And I use them for national defense.
01:03I ended, of the eight wars I ended, I would say five or six were ended because of tariffs.
01:09I'll give you an example.
01:11If you take a look at India and Pakistan, they started to fight.
01:16They're two nuclear nations.
01:18They were shooting each other.
01:19Eight planes were shot down.
01:21There was seven.
01:22Now it was eight because the one that was sort of shot down is now abandoned.
01:26And eight planes were shot down.
01:29And I said, listen, if you guys are going to fight, I'm going to put tariffs on you.
01:33And they both went, you know, they were not happy about that.
01:36And within 24 hours, I settled the war.
01:38If I didn't have tariffs, I wouldn't have been able to settle that war.
01:41So it's great national defense.
01:46And you have to be quick moving.
01:48You can't wait around for months and months while you're doing studies and you're doing all of this or go back to Congress.
01:55Look at Congress.
01:56We can't even get a continuation from Congress.
01:59Think of that.
02:00How do I have to go back to Congress?
02:01You have to do the spur of the moment because just so you understand, we're here at spur of the moment.
02:08You know, other countries have used tariffs that absolutely, they would have destroyed us.
02:13If I didn't come along, our country would be destroyed right now.
02:17The tariffs have made us rich in terms of national security.
02:23They've made us secure.
02:24And, you know, if you have economic strength, that's also, if you have a lack of economic strength, that's national security also.
02:31But we have great national security because of those tariffs.
02:34So I think it would be devastating if we lost that rule.
02:38But before the president of Congress's issues are ruling, it could be several weeks, are you going to lay out any new additional tariffs before that?
02:45I don't know what to talk about it.
02:46I'm going to hope that we win.
02:47I can't imagine that anybody would do that kind of devastation to our country.
02:54You know, we have to pay back trillions of dollars.
02:56We've taken in trillions.
02:57We haven't taken in billions.
02:59We've taken in trillions of dollars.
03:00We've made trade deals based on that that give us, as an example, European Union, $950 billion.
03:10Japan, $650 billion.
03:13South Korea, $350 billion.
03:16Without this, we're not talking about that kind of money.
03:19And they're okay.
03:19They're satisfied.
03:20They love us.
03:21I just left.
03:22They all love us.
03:23So it's not like we're such bad people.
03:25But they were doing it to us until I came along.
03:29Now they don't do it to us.
03:30We do it to them a little bit.
03:32But if they took this away, we would be defenseless against tariffs from other countries.
03:38Mr. Kirk, there's people on employer plans and individual plans who also don't have access to GLP-1s.
03:45What can you do to make those insurers and PBMs get these same prices so they can put access for those prices?
03:51So ask Oz or Bobby that question would be a very, it's a good question.
03:56Absolutely.
03:57Many Americans receive their insurance through the commercial markets.
04:00The companies have committed to ensure that at worst, prices are at MFN on GLP-1s
04:04and are committed to continue to negotiate those prices down based on volume, just as they do in any other instance.
04:09Another really interesting thing we're seeing, though, is that commercial plans and PBMs increasingly are enabling access for their beneficiaries,
04:17their patients, to make purchases in the cash market.
