| 0:00.0 | So I'm going to ask you about some of the things that the president said last night, because some of them were just mathematically impossible. If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by four, five, or six hundred percent, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their products. So it raises the question, how much of last night's speech was hyperbole and how much was fact? |
| 0:25.7 | No, what he's saying is you bring it, if a drug was $100 and you bring the drug down to $13, right? If you're looking at it from $13, it's down seven times. It's down, well, but it's |
| 0:34.2 | 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now, right? So a $13 would have to go up |
| 0:41.2 | 700% to get back to the old one. So it all depends on when you look at it. You could say it's down |
| 0:46.2 | 87% or you could say it would have to go up 700% to be the same one. So it just depends on |
| 0:53.0 | what you look at it. But basically what he's saying, and we all know what he's saying is we are hammering the |
| 0:58.3 | price of drugs down. |
| 1:01.5 | It all depends on how you look at it. |
| 1:04.5 | And if you're willing to look really stupid while you look at it, the only thing missing |
| 1:10.1 | there was Judy Collins in the background singing |
| 1:13.9 | sending the clowns and then ending by saying, don't bother. They're here. Commerce Secretary |
| 1:22.6 | Howard Lutnik offering his bizarre explanation instead of just saying, yeah, he was wrong. |
| 1:31.1 | He exaggerated. |
| 1:33.0 | Nothing can go down 600%. |
| 1:35.2 | And there's no way when you buy a drug, the drug company is going to pay you six times |
| 1:41.6 | the amount they were going to charge you. Just one more exaggeration |
| 1:46.0 | and one more example of somebody just looking kind of dumb, trying to twist themselves and knots |
| 1:54.0 | to explain the unexplainable. It keeps coming out of this White House, and it seems to be coming |
| 2:00.1 | out in rapid succession. |
| 2:02.8 | This comes, of course, as we know, we're the one-time payment that Donald Trump announced |
| 2:07.7 | for service members is coming from. It's not coming out of thin air. In fact, he is robbing |
| 2:14.2 | Peter to pay Paul. We'll tell you who both of those characters are, taken out of one side of their pockets |
