00:00I believe we're going to have the most successful economy in history.
00:03We inherited a mess.
00:04Now prices are coming way down.
00:06Gasoline is less than $2 in some states.
00:09$199, $197, $195.
00:13A gallon.
00:14$1.95.
00:17Think of that.
00:18A gallon.
00:19Nobody ever thought they'd see that.
00:21They don't want to talk about that.
00:22They want to talk about Epstein.
00:25And the problem is a lot of Democrats are being caught up in the web.
00:28Like Larry Summers.
00:29Larry Summers was the head of Harvard.
00:32He's now been forced to resign from every board he's on.
00:35And he was thrown off the Harvard board.
00:38Now he was, you know, he was at Epstein's Island a lot.
00:42I wasn't.
00:42I never went there, by the way.
00:44But fortunately, it's nice.
00:47But I never went there.
00:48But a lot of people did go there.
00:50But instead of talking about the battleships,
00:52or instead of talking about most favored nations, drugs,
00:56we're bringing down drug prices.
00:58Because, like, at a level that has never even been thought of,
01:02by thousands, think of it, by 1,000 percent,
01:06by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400 percent in some cases,
01:10a drug that sells for $10 in London is costing $130 in New York.
01:18We're bringing it down to $20, and they're going to go up to $20.
01:21So they're going from $10 to $20, which is a doubling.
01:25It's a doubling.
01:26That's a lot.
01:27But it's a doubling.
01:28But we're going down to $20.
01:30So we're going down, if you can do your own math,
01:33but it's 2,000 percent, 3,000 percent.
01:39It's pretty amazing.
01:40And, you know, the New York Times had a story about it,
01:43a small story, way in the back of the paper.
01:45It's the single biggest thing to happen
01:48with respect to drugs probably in 50 years.
01:52It's never been anything like this.
01:54In my first term, I was able to get drug prices down one quarter of 1%.
02:00It's the first time in 28 years that they went down.
02:02One quarter of 1%.
02:03I was so proud of myself.
02:05Now we're doing them 2,000 percent, 1,500 percent, 1,200 percent.
02:11That pill that sold for $130 will now be selling, as an example, for $20.
02:19Because the rest of the world took advantage of us.
02:24Without tariffs, I could have never done it.
02:26I called up the heads of the countries.
02:29As an example, France.
02:30I spoke to a very good man, President Macron of France.
02:35And I said, Emmanuel, you have to raise your drug prices.
02:39He said, no, no, no, we will not do that.
02:41I said, you have to.
02:43He said, no, I don't want to do that.
02:44Look, you ask me if I go to $10 to $20,
02:47you're going to come way down to $20.
02:48We don't want to do that.
02:50Now, in all fairness, no other president even tried.
