Trump participates in a maternal healthcare event

[0:00] I mean it's incredible Oz and Bobby I can tell you we speak about it a lot so [0:05] many people have called me about we have to do this they've been waiting for it [0:08] for a long time but this is a new benefit or an option that will be a [0:12] major help for millions of American moms that will result in more beautiful [0:17] American babies we like that to further reduce the cost of fertility care my [0:22] administration is negotiated unprecedented most favored nation [0:26] agreements with all of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and [0:30] nations you think that was easy that was not easy the nations in particular I [0:35] tell you and it challenged them with tariffs you don't want to give us what [0:39] you want I'm putting tariffs on your nation sir we'll give it to you [0:42] immediately actually you think Biden could do that I don't think so no nor did [0:49] he try Bobby right they didn't even try they never tried anything one drug [0:54] commonly used and IVF has gone from as an example nine hundred and sixty six [0:59] dollars to one hundred and sixty eight dollars a difference of five hundred [1:05] percent this is the most incredible thing it it's not talked about by the [1:09] fake news it's sad because it's the biggest thing to happen I think but we're [1:13] getting drug prices prescription drug prices down by four or five hundred [1:17] percent or depending on the way you want to phrase the question you could say four [1:21] five six hundred percent us and you could also say eighty percent seventy [1:26] percent etc it all depends on the way you phrase the question I like the five [1:30] hundred better and since we launched that website just a few months ago it's [1:35] called trump rx.gov it's through the roof is that is that a correct statement as and [1:42] by will you tell them that was your idea to call it Trump that wasn't my the [1:45] president did not propose that thing but everyone else thought was a great idea it [1:49] is working spectacularly well incredibly effective at so many things that there [1:53] is not an American around buying a medication should not check trump rx.gov [1:56] first it we proposed mr. president is going to save us six hundred billion [2:01] dollars over the next decade the kinds of savings we're going to achieve from the [2:05] most favorite nation drug pricing that secretary Kennedy organized and the [2:08] media doesn't write about it if somebody if a Democrat proposed it it'd be [2:14] front-page news every day for the rest of your life the media they don't want to [2:18] write about it think of it we're reducing drug prices by five hundred six hundred [2:24] percent or eighty percent or seventy five percent anyway it's all up it's all [2:29] about the phrasing of the question and the media doesn't write about it it's [2:34] amazing it's so sad it's so biased and that's why the media their approval rating [2:40] went down just today twelve percent you're twelve percent that's why I got [2:44] elected with ninety seven percent bad stories I wanted a Lancelot because you [2:48] have no credibility so I wish the media would write about it's probably the [2:52] biggest story certainly it's got to be maybe the biggest story in medicine if you [2:57] think I mean when you get drug reduction prices of sixty seventy eighty percent a [3:04] pill that costs a ten dollars in Germany costs in New York City costs a hundred [3:12] and thirty hundred and forty dollars now the pills gonna go to twenty dollars in [3:17] Germany and twenty dollars for us we're gonna have the lowest prices anywhere in [3:21] the world and I can't we can't get a story about it they won't write it it's [3:26] biggest medical story there is that we cannot get a story of I think I'm gonna [3:31] ask Walmart for a little help I think if you can explain the trick and let me [3:41] know but since we launched the website just a few months ago over 19,000 [3:46] Americans have used those fertility medicines and discounts and saved more [3:50] than 15 million dollars just in a short period of time for a matter of weeks the [3:56] Council of Economic Advisors projects that the number will rise to four point six [4:01] billion dollars over a fairly small number of years nobody's ever seen [4:08] anything like this and we had to get the countries first we had to get the [4:13] companies and the companies were pretty good but they knew I couldn't get the [4:18] countries so they didn't care that much I think that's right we when we got the [4:23] countries I think I said what's going on and yet they've done fine they do more [4:27] business and they do it from it's they made it up in volume right they made it up in [4:32] volume as the old old story went there are many other ways our administration is [4:39] supporting moms and women we passed the largest working family tax cuts in [4:44] American history by far we passed the largest tax cuts not only for women for [4:49] everybody but for women so many working women we passed the largest tax cuts in [4:54] history we also made our historic investment in rural health with 50 [4:59] billion dollars distributed across all 50 states and that gives each state a lot [5:04] of money over the next five years 10 billion dollars has already been [5:08] distributed and you see the results all over the rural part of the United States [5:13] which I'm proud to say I won by about 80 percent of the vote and many states are [5:18] investing and improving maternal health care every Democrat in Congress voted [5:23] against this historic funding the Democrats well they suffer from Trump [5:28] derangement syndrome to be honest they don't even know what they're looking at [5:31] they can't even see straight but I have a new way out I'm going to propose [5:36] something the opposite of what I want and we will have massive amounts of [5:42] legislation no just all that we will not build the wall I'm going to go the [5:53] opposite whatever is bad I'm going to go for it and they'll approve what's good [5:58] finally no they've got serious Trump derangement syndrome which actually is a [6:02] disease I'm hearing it is actually a disease it's an honor today we're also [6:08] enacting groundbreaking child care reforms to improve federal child care [6:12] programs including Head Start and Child Care Development Fund that goes to each [6:18] state it's big stuff these reforms will give states more flexible lower costs [6:25] increase options and empower parents to choose what care works best for them [6:30] there's a lot of options that you're going to have under this plan you have I [6:33] think pretty much maximum Heidi I think maximum options and that's what we're [6:39] looking for maximum options at the lowest cost and you've got a cost that if you [6:44] were here a year ago or if you were here like during the last administration [6:48] you're talking about a cost that would be eight to ten times more expensive than [6:53] what we're doing it same exact same exact prescription same exact medicine same [6:58] care at ten percent it'll also free up child care funding for hundreds of [7:05] thousands of additional children to support stay-at-home parents in recognition [7:11] of this ambitious agenda to support American mothers today we're announcing a new [7:15] website that is online right now it's moms dot gov moms dot gov you couldn't [7:23] have put that in the Trump deal you had to give me a little competition he wants [7:30] to make me work so hard so explain moms dot gov would you please dr us well we're [7:36] gonna have a whole discussion about sir a little bit later if it gets we have we [7:41] want Katie to speak a bit about the first issue you mentioned and but moms I [7:44] gov is a beautiful site folks want to check it right now while we're talking [7:47] yeah you really should and it's it's pretty incredible something that I'm [7:50] senator Rubio and I tried to do sir but you're the one who actually did it along [7:55] well I like trump rx dot gov I love moms but I like trump rx dot gov you put me in there I got to make sure he gives me competition now he wants to work that's all right we're only kidding I have to say we're kidding otherwise they'll do Trump and I said it made you just [8:13] made you just Bobby broke him up it was a terrible terrible [8:18] these people I encourage every mom to visit this new page where they will find [8:24] helpful information about addressing clinical care pregnancy resources [8:29] nutrition tips Trump rx and Trump accounts Trump accounts has been amazing for [8:35] the kids as Michael and Susan Dell they put in six six billion two hundred and [8:43] fifty million dollars started and that's another one that's gone through the Trump [8:46] accounts we're young kids they turn 18 or 20 or 21 or they they feel like they feel [8:52] like a billionaire used to say a millionaire now you say a billionaire but they [8:56] certainly feel rich as opposed to having absolutely nothing it's so popular so so [9:02] many people we have people in one case took over the entire state of Ohio it's [9:07] putting up the money for every kid in the state of Ohio supporting the journey of [9:12] American moms at every stage is so important to the success of our nation I [9:17] now like to ask senator Katie Britt she's the one that got me into this I have to [9:21] tell you I hope she always remains loyal to me so I can continue to support her I [9:27] would hate to go against her that will never happen Katie that's right but to [9:32] stay just a few words she's really fantastic woman she's a great senator [9:36] and I got lucky I was supporting somebody else and then I realized that [9:42] there's somebody else wasn't very good and I said who's that young woman I met [9:46] it was so impressive they say her name is Katie Britt I said let me talk to her I [9:51] talked to her I endorsed you she wanted a landslide and you've been winning in [9:56] landslides ever since so you've been doing a great job Katie thank you very much I [10:00] thought I should explain it thank you to say a few words Katie's gonna say and [10:04] followed by Monique Pruitt and then Olivia Walton then dr. Oz and dr. Dorothy Fink [10:12] and dr. Alex Adams and you'll speak not too long because I am being waited on by a [10:21] large group of generals and that's also important you know having to do having to [10:29] do with the absolutely lovely country of Iran that's the way they pronounce we [10:34] will we will get started then okay mr. president thank you for your work and we [10:39] are here guys this is another example of promises made promises kept I mean we [10:43] look at what President Trump did when we dealt with this issue in Alabama he [10:47] stepped up to the plate immediately to make sure that we had nationwide access to [10:51] IVF to making sure that we had comprehensive fertility treatment so that men and [10:56] women who couples who were longing for their child could continue to have that [11:00] hope and also have that reality today doubles down on that yet again I mean we [11:05] see the savings that have happened across the country and I've had more and more [11:09] people come up to me and tell me a story about what it has saved them but we also [11:13] know that there was opportunity for continued growth President Trump saw that [11:16] and he acted on it so now more people are gonna have access through their [11:20] employer just like they would dental or vision insurance and there are people right [11:24] now who this is out of reach because of affordability and President Trump is [11:28] bringing that back in when you look at the comprehensive nature of what we're [11:31] doing today and coming on the hills of Mother's Day I mean we are thrilled to [11:36] support mothers everywhere whether it's that mom that is getting to experience [11:39] growing life for the very first time or the one chasing toddlers or wrangling [11:45] teenagers or being there when their adult child calls for advice moms are the [11:51] heartbeats of our families our communities and our country President [11:55] Trump knows that and he's made sure we've created a comprehensive culture of [11:58] life that's what you see right now with moms.gov moms.gov was something that [12:03] then-Senator Rubio and I talked about doing with Senator Kramer and now Senator [12:08] Schmidt but of course President Trump is actually going to put it into action it [12:12] supports moms through the prenatal postpartum and early childhood [12:15] development stages of motherhood also as we tackle rural health look I stand up [12:21] here in front of you not only as a mom of two but also as someone who lives in [12:24] the great state of Alabama where about 28 percent of women live in a current [12:29] maternal care desert the work that we did and the working families tax cuts [12:33] guys that hits it head-on we have an opportunity now to reach those who [12:37] haven't been reached when we look at maternal mortality rates we continue to [12:41] invest within the research that will help us resolve that issue but also [12:45] and the women that deal with with so many issues during their pregnancy we want [12:50] them to be supported and then in addition to all of that childcare so we [12:56] know last year alone and you had about 455,000 women leave the workforce due to [13:01] affordability and accessibility of childcare we've often said and the [13:05] President and I have talked about this if you have or want the opportunity to [13:08] stay home we want that for you but if you want or need the opportunity to [13:13] re-enter the workforce and want to be a part of building back America like [13:17] President Trump is doing we don't want affordability or accessibility to be an [13:20] impediment to that so not only at his direction and I was proud to lead the [13:24] effort in the working families tax cuts to modernize the tax code to make sure [13:28] that child care was front and center for the first time since Ronald Reagan sir [13:31] you're the first one to do it but today that comprehensive nature of whether [13:36] you're staying home or you're in a faith-based provider or you have a child care [13:39] center that have that you lovingly send your child to during the day as you [13:44] work to provide for your family today that is easier as a result and we are [13:49] proud of what that means for the economy we know 24 percent of young families [13:54] our young families spend about 24 percent of their annual income on [13:57] childcare so mr. president thank you for all that you've done creating a [14:01] comprehensive culture of life this is this is really groundbreaking so do you see [14:05] now why I endorsed her so she also is married to the largest human being her [14:15] husband is great he's a 11 year player in the NFL an all-star one of the [14:22] greatest college football players ever and what he does so he's and he's a [14:27] fantastic person both two really fantastic people Monique Pruitt speaks [14:32] about Trump rx well thank you mr. president and senator Britt for all the [14:37] work and the teams that have done so much around this this is a very [14:40] important topic so glad to be here I have personally used Trump rx and I've [14:44] saved thousands of dollars on my medication as president Trump mentioned [14:49] a lot of insurances did not cover this looks like they will be now so that's [14:53] wonderful thank you even so some don't cover the medication portion that can be a [14:57] separate pharmaceutical cost so Trump rx has brought a lot of the prices of [15:03] medications down for me personally Gonal F has been one of the main medicines [15:09] that people use for ache retrievals and that I cannot find it anywhere on any [15:14] other website or for cheaper so thank you so much to you guys for doing all the [15:19] work we really appreciate it from the IVF community it's been amazing hasn't it the [15:23] difference in cost it's it's just incredible I mean you're talking about [15:28] something where it goes down five six seven times and I tell the story often [15:34] to my first I was so proud my first term one-eighth of one percent I reduced [15:39] drug costs during my third year one-eighth of one percent and that's the first time [15:44] in 28 years that prices went down and I was so proud remember that I was there [15:51] yes I'd like to just say that prices have gone down one-eighth of one percent [15:56] which is the first time in 28 years that prices have gone down for [16:00] prescription drug prices another I was so proud of that and now I reduced it by [16:05] five hundred percent perhaps that's experience I always knew that you know we [16:11] were being just absolutely decimated but you know I was hunted I was the hunter [16:18] now though you know I was I was the hunted then and I had to devote a lot of time to [16:23] that otherwise I wouldn't have been too effective if I was out of office I [16:27] wouldn't be so we I was hunted by some very bad people now I'm the hunter it's [16:31] much better when you're the hunter but these are bad people and they'll give you [16:37] no support at all no matter how good it is I mean as an example I don't know [16:41] what the numbers are but if we go to Congress to get something approved which [16:45] we get but you can say that we're going to reduce drug prices by 80% and we [16:52] won't get one Democrat I don't know how they get away with it that's why we call [16:57] them the Democrats we have a new name they're Democrats because they're dumb [17:01] they're dumb people and and then they just they just can't do it I I've been [17:06] waiting so long for them to change but they just keep losing and they're going [17:12] to keep losing with their with their policies but we reduce prices by 70 80 [17:17] percent and it's such a big it's such a big deal I'd like to ask Olivia Walton [17:23] who's here with her very handsome husband Tom thank you Tom for being here thank you [17:28] very much and you're going to speak about maternal health care [17:32] Mr. President I'm going to introduce Olivia if you don't want by the way before we [17:35] leave the last topic that is the leader of EMD Serrano which makes one of the [17:39] most important fertility drugs is here just to remind you because you've been [17:42] giving different percentages the Monique's price of getting a product is [17:45] one-tenth of what it used to be so one-tenth forget about percentages it's an [17:51] easy number to remember and the fact that we were paying ten times more for [17:54] that same drug in America is embarrassing it changed under the president and [17:58] presidents have known her for a long time but it takes guts to take on [18:02] important lobbyists so why didn't they get it done well the main reason is [18:07] they were intimidated they're scared or incompetent or incompetent but I've had [18:11] plenty of conversations with the president when he says he doesn't care he [18:14] wants to do the right thing and this is a good example absolutely excuse me Katie [18:17] Britt's husband's here I just spotted this very large that's great guy okay go [18:27] ahead so let me speak a little bit about the reality that one in three [18:30] Americans are under-babied what does under-babied mean that means that you [18:34] either don't have any children or you have less children that you then you would [18:37] normally want to have and to Katie's point we have a crisis that's causing a [18:41] fertility rate to drop below 1.5 replacement rate is 2.1 so we're way [18:45] below what we need just to replace the people that we have in America and one of [18:50] the challenges is that rural America where there's 60 million people have a [18:54] mortality rate maternal mortality rate when they have babies that's about 30% higher than if you live in an urban area [19:00] one of the ways the president wanted to address this was creating something in [19:03] the working families tax cut legislation which is I think the most ambitious [19:07] fantastic program ever written to help fix the health care system the president [19:12] saved Medicaid in the working families tax cut legislation he also invested with [19:16] Congress's open Senator Britton her colleagues voted for this sort of the house to [19:21] put in 50 billion dollars into rural health care that's 10 billion a year for the [19:25] next five years all the money went out the door on time and it's being used for [19:29] incredibly beneficial advances to help Americans living in rural America have [19:34] babies safely your zip code should not determine your mortality rate if you're [19:38] having a baby that is going to change there's a great program in southern [19:41] Alabama they call it LA lower Alabama yes I've been there and that is that is [19:48] allowing us to use these new ultrasound probes now if you don't have an [19:51] obstetrician in your county because in many counties in Los Angeles in LA which is [19:56] lower Alabama that's that is the case we have states and all the governors are [19:59] embraced on this investing a lot of money training more people to work in [20:03] rural America and we're also using telehealth tools so you have big [20:07] sophisticated urban centers adopting smaller facilities clinics so they can [20:12] help moms deliver babies wherever they may live you don't have to drive [20:15] across state to get there now as great as this all is and as fantastic as it has [20:19] been to have 50 governors in this case Mr. President even the Democratic [20:22] governors are on board it's such a good offer it's such a beautiful way of [20:27] keeping your people healthy that everyone's embraced this program we [20:30] still can't do it by ourselves we have to invest in the American people we have [20:34] to have governors and private sector partners that make this happen as well [20:38] as and I hope the secretary can speak to this in a moment because Maha is [20:41] probably vital to this effort you have to get moms healthy enough to do the [20:45] most creative thing the universe knows which is making babies so maybe maybe you [20:49] can take the message around the private sector involvement and how you're you [20:52] and your family have gotten involved in this and led the way and maybe we can [20:55] talk about Maha afterwards sure I would love to and first thank you so much Mr. [20:59] President thank you Dr. Oz and thank you Secretary Kennedy thank all of you for [21:03] making maternal health really a national priority it's an honor to be here today [21:07] with all of you this 50 billion dollars in rural health funds this really [21:12] represents a transformative opportunity to invest in maternal health care and in [21:17] fact it's what's given us the confidence to launch healthy moms healthy babies [21:21] America which is our campaign it is bipartisan Dr. Oz is right democratic [21:26] governors across the country are also very interested in doing this we have a [21:30] simple goal we want to cut the US maternal death rate in half in five years that [21:35] sounds audacious but I am confident we can do it I'm confident because we have [21:39] the federal leadership because President Trump wants to make America the best [21:43] place to have a baby I'm confident because we now have this 50 billion [21:48] dollars money that's already going out to the states that we can actually [21:51] leverage to pay for some of this and I'm confident because honestly we know how [21:55] to fix this the vast majority of infant and maternal death is preventable we [22:01] know the solutions maternal health is rural health you heard the numbers from [22:05] Dr. Oz I'm here today as a mother from Arkansas I have three young kids I live in a [22:10] very rural state and I'm thrilled to say Governor Sanders is taking maternal [22:14] health head-on and has made some incredible progress but in rural America it is [22:19] hard to have a baby right now it is hard to get care we have moms driving for [22:23] hours to get to the OB most moms don't have the time to do that and a lot of [22:27] moms don't have the money to do that either and then after they have the baby [22:30] they're not going back for any kind of checkup for those of you who know who've [22:35] had a baby what's the standard of care they say come back in six weeks it's not a [22:40] good idea you all know how precarious those precious few weeks are you need [22:46] help sooner than that and by the way not all this care has to be done by an OB [22:50] it can be done with doulas and nurses and midwives folks in your community they can [22:55] work with the doctor as Dr. Oz said there is virtual care the solutions really do [23:00] exist and now is the time to get serious about this stuff and scale it so we are [23:05] uniting business leaders with policy maker health care providers faith [23:09] leaders we believe there's a great opportunity for faith leaders to pay a [23:13] big play a bigger role and taking care of babies postpartum and I'm just [23:17] grateful to be here I really believe I know you're meeting with the generals and [23:20] we appreciate you keeping our country safe investing in maternal health care is [23:25] the most strategic investment we can make in the future of American prosperity [23:29] thank you hey Tom she did very well what do you think I'd give her 10 maybe a 12 [23:34] I'll give her 12 there so when is she running for office you know the nice thing I [23:40] just listen as Olivia she's so respected and she doesn't need this she doesn't [23:46] need to come here and go and she goes around and checks hospitals and does [23:49] things she really doesn't need it at all she could be doing anything she wants [23:54] anything and I think it's fantastic and thank you very much thank you thank you [23:59] thank you really beautiful thank you okay we have Dr. Fink [24:04] oh yes right here good to see you nice to see you go ahead well thank you mr [24:09] president for your ongoing support of maternal and infant health we recognize [24:14] that the health affected that's why we launched the perinatal improvement [24:21] collaborative during the first Trump administration an effort that has [24:25] continued to this day to improve health outcomes for moms and babies [24:29] through this nationwide network of hospitals we are using real data and [24:35] proven clinical practices to protect mothers and newborns in the perinatal [24:40] improvement collaborative hospitals we have reduced maternal mortality by 41.5 [24:45] percent which is truly incredible and this is compared with the 5.9 percent [24:51] decline in benchmark hospitals over the same period of time our goal is to have [24:57] every hospital in America doing this and we're thrilled to be partnering with [25:00] Heartland forward to make this happen we really want every woman to have a [25:05] healthy delivery and a healthy baby and to make the United States the [25:09] healthiest place in the world to give birth yes and I'll also add in that you [25:14] all and the Trump administration have taken his strength and support for [25:20] American mothers and families with the launch of moms.gov we're highlighting all [25:24] of the policy achievements that have advanced to support moms and babies moms.gov is the first of its kind [25:32] resource that offers all sorts of guidance and information to support the [25:37] health and well-being of mothers and their families moms.gov also really helps [25:42] support expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected [25:46] pregnancies we are committed to supporting women's health throughout [25:50] motherhood and at every stage of life supporting women's health is not just a [25:55] policy it's a promise mothers help both healthy families and then healthy [26:01] families build a healthy so I want to thank you mr. president thank you doctor [26:09] very much thank you well done it's well done dr. Adams please about child care [26:16] thank you mr. president this mother's day we recognize the reality for millions of [26:20] Americans and that's child care has become too expensive too difficult to find and [26:25] too disconnected from the needs of working families for years Washington's answer [26:29] has always been the same more bureaucracy more mandates and higher costs for [26:33] everyone president Trump you were taking a different approach under your [26:37] leadership we're advancing a child care reform package that puts parents back in [26:41] charge we're going to do three primary things first we're restoring parental [26:47] choice that means bringing faith-based providers back to the table and it means [26:51] recognizing the vital role played by home-based providers relatives and [26:55] parents who choose to stay home during the earliest years of their [26:58] children's lives second we are cutting unnecessary red tape red tape that [27:03] forced providers to close limited access to care and made it harder for working [27:08] families to find the support they needed we're moving away from one-size-fits-all [27:12] federal mandates and instead empowering parents to meet their child's unique [27:17] needs the third we're strengthening accountability to ensure taxpayer dollars [27:22] are protected from fraudsters under the Biden administration they [27:26] essentially backed the Brinks truck up to states and sent the security home we [27:29] think Americans deserve better we will ensure that these funds go to families who [27:34] truly need support our goal is simple more affordable options more providers more [27:40] choices for parents and more accountability for taxpayers mr. president your pro-family [27:44] agenda recognizes a simple truth strong families build a strong nation and if I [27:49] could just add on a personal note mr. president I want to thank you for your [27:52] leadership and everybody up here for their leadership on fertility issues my [27:56] beautiful baby girl Emerson is a product of IVF and I thank you for your [28:01] leadership on that issue and sharing the joy of parenthood with many many more [28:05] American families thank you sir well thank you very much doctor it's great to know [28:08] it's been really successful under this administration and again Katie you were [28:16] so helpful Bobby do you have something to say very very briefly mr. president I just [28:22] wanted to stress how what a huge win for the maha movement and for the pro-life [28:26] movement moms.gov is it is one-stop shopping or IVF for prenatal care for [28:34] postnatal care or nutrition for baby formula and of course for Trump rx we have as [28:41] dr. Oz pointed out a fertility crisis in this country right now we just found out [28:46] that we've dropped out of 1.57 percent the replacement rate is 2.1 a hundred [28:54] years ago we were at 3.27 so more than double though we are today we are pro [29:00] approaching the cataclysmic rates that Japan and China are now experiencing [29:05] that is threatening their economy it's a threat not only to our economy to our [29:10] national security it's a direct threat to our social security trust fund to the [29:15] Medicare trust fund as in Trump has directed my agency to find out the [29:21] cause of the fertility crisis and that is part of this program we're looking at [29:26] the impact of metabolic challenges which directly affect a fertility of obesity [29:34] which affects fertility of endocrine disruptors of pesticides of this toxic [29:41] soup that our our young women are walking around today to try to figure it out the [29:46] fertility crisis for women began in 2007 for men in 1970 men had twice the sperm [29:54] count as our teenagers do today this is an existential crisis for our country we had [30:02] a series of presidents that were trying to discourage childbirth and motherhood in [30:09] this country we now have a president that is trying to encourage it and I want to [30:12] thank you again for your leadership thank you very much Bobby and there's another word autism that we're very [30:19] much involved with and I have my own ideas but but Oz and Bobby and everybody they're [30:25] really focused on it very hard I think in a certain way you know I would like you to [30:31] look at the payment schedules Bobby because I think it's I think it's very skewed because [30:36] of the payment schedules you understand what I mean yes we're bringing some I think it has to be I [30:40] think it's crazy I think that's what's happening can't can't pay more for that to a doctor I mean [30:47] every every person around is going to have autism that's what's happening so because I really believe [30:53] that that's very badly skewed but more importantly Frank but I would like that done immediately but [30:59] more importantly I think that some great progress has been made as to why you know what what what is [31:05] this thing that's happening all over the world but here what what is it what's going on and there [31:13] has to be something because it you know it spiked so much over the last 10 years it's spiked over the [31:19] last 15 years it's gone up many many times and I think it's a very important thing to mention I [31:24] mention it all the time having to do with other subjects and then I bring in autism anything having to do [31:30] with medical I always bring in autism on another topic we're looking very seriously that natural 7 0 H [31:38] and getting that approved natural 7 0 H and we'll take a look at that very strongly I think us and [31:46] everybody were looking to see if we can do something there a lot of people are asking for it and thank [31:53] you very much for the work on that and with that do you have any questions you mentioned this meeting with [32:01] the generals on Iran you rejected a deal from Iran for the weekend can you tell us anything about [32:06] that proposal and what if any to break this down it was just unacceptable you know a lot of people [32:13] said well does he have a plan yeah of course they do have I have the best plan ever I mean Iran has [32:19] been defeated militarily totally they have a little left they probably built up during this period of time [32:25] we'll knock that out in about a day but I have a plan you know it's a very simple plan I don't know [32:30] why you don't say it like it is Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon they're very dangerous they're very [32:36] volatile it's a terrible thing that's happened over there they've killed 42,000 people in the last two [32:45] months 42,000 at least that's what we know of 42,000 people they killed numerous people over the last week [32:52] but they killed 42,000 people a month ago a month and a half ago they were unarmed protesters not at [33:01] all violent protesters and they started taking them out shooting them so we're not going to let them [33:07] that's the plan you know people say what's the plan the plan is very simple the blockade first of all [33:13] was a part of military genius just like Venezuela was military chain we have the greatest military of [33:20] the world by far and we're stocked up with great ammunition we have much better stuff than we did [33:26] two months ago when we first did the attack which knocked them for a loop but very simple Iran cannot [33:34] have a nuclear weapon can't have it and if they did have it the Middle East would be gone Israel would [33:40] be gone and then hit Europe probably next we're doing the service to the world and this has gone on [33:46] for 47 years other presidents and leaders of other countries that have the power should have done [33:51] it but they didn't do it but it's a very simple plan Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they [33:57] won't have a nuclear weapon and they didn't want to go that far you can believe it they didn't how [34:03] stupid are they stupid people they didn't want to believe it they think that well I'll get tired of [34:09] this I'll get bored or I'll have some pressure but there's no pressure there's no pressure at all [34:13] we're going to have a complete victory we've already in theory had a complete victory from [34:18] the military standpoint the military look their Navy is dead they have 150 they had 159 ships right now [34:25] they have zero other than the little speed boats that go around that got taken out eight a day by us [34:29] they have no air force they have no anti-aircraft now they probably put the shoulder jobs on into [34:38] service over the last three weeks probably but essentially they have no anti-aircraft they have [34:45] no radar and frankly their leaders have been killed at the first level second level and half at the third [34:51] level and then they come back and they want to negotiate and they give us a stupid it's a stupid [34:58] proposal and nobody would take it although Obama would have taken it Biden would have taken it when [35:03] they took was far worse so we stopped him twice we stopped him when I terminated the worst deal [35:08] probably ever made in the history of our country in terms of defense that was the Iran nuclear deal [35:15] by Barack penned by Barack Hussein Obama that would have given Iran a nuclear weapon within a year they [35:22] would have had it years ago I terminated that in my first term and then when that beautiful plane right [35:28] there hit them hard we really hit them hard and they told me I want to just tell you this because [35:34] they like to say oh well maybe it wasn't that hard ahead Iran told me very strongly because they [35:40] intend to give us the nuclear dust as I call it it's easier than talking about other terms because [35:45] it's a term everyone but the nuclear dust which is what we hit and they told me number one you're [35:51] getting it but you're gonna have to take it out because the site was so obliterated that there's only one [35:58] or two countries in the world that could get it it's so deep and got hit so hard that there's no way [36:04] they have the equipment to move it you and China are the only two countries in the world that could [36:10] take it out so we talked about it they said you'll have to take it out because we don't have the [36:15] capability of doing it so for those people that like to say that those great pilots in those great [36:21] planes well we just ordered 22 more of them knew and improved that those great pilots didn't do [36:28] their job they did their job one o'clock in the morning with no moon no light no nothing every single [36:35] bomb hit its targets and then as you know we shot some incredible things there's things that nobody [36:44] else has nobody has a military like we have we shot the tomahawks from a submarine 200 miles away and [36:51] that went on top of it but every one of those included the tomahawks every one of those weapons [36:58] and and shots hit perfectly and they said to me just to put it on the record they said to me there [37:05] are only two countries in the entire world that could ever get that stuff out of there because we [37:10] don't have the equipment and nobody else they said China and the United States so I just want to let [37:17] you know those pilots did an unbelievable job very dangerous job at one o'clock in the morning think of [37:23] it no no moon no nothing we had no light purposely and every single one of those bombs were right down [37:31] an air chute in a granite mountain that exploded and they are unable to get it even if they wanted to [37:39] but we're not going to take a chance so that's part of the deal to allow the removal of all their [37:46] enrichment yeah well they did it two days ago they didn't okay they did two days ago they said you're [37:55] going to have to take it we were going to go with them but they changed their mind because they didn't [37:59] put it in the paper so when they sent us this document that we waited four days for that should [38:03] have taken 10 minutes to do right look very simple we get that they guarantee no nuclear weapons for a [38:11] very long period of time and a couple of other minor things but they just can't get there so they agree [38:17] with us and then they take it back they said to us that it was so badly obliterated it was the word [38:25] they actually used that was my original word then it got challenged by some of the fake news but and it [38:31] wasn't challenged with any knowledge it was just challenged like they were hoping that this wouldn't [38:37] have been so successful no it was obliterated we have the greatest military in the world they built [38:44] it largely in my first term and I didn't know I'd be using it quite this much in my second term but [38:51] very simply when they say does he have a plan yeah I have a plan the plan is very simple you know in war [38:58] you have to change you have to be flexible you have a lot of plans but you have to do different [39:02] plans in different days but I have a great plan but the plan is that they cannot have a nuclear [39:08] weapon and they didn't say that in their letter changes that you've talked about in Iran is this [39:16] still a leadership that you believe you can negotiate with yeah ultimately reach I think so well you have [39:22] two you have the moderates and you have the lunatics and I think the moderates are more respected the [39:30] lunatics want to fight till the end you know there will be a very it'll be a very quick fight but you [39:36] I call them you have just like our country we have lunatics too we have I call them lunatics I call them stupid [39:43] people too but in Iran they have the moderates that dine to make a deal and then you have the lunatics and I [39:49] guess they're a little bit afraid of the lunatics but and why not the the level of ferocity for [39:57] protests you know the the people are watching that they want to go out on the streets they have no [40:02] weapons they have no guns we thought the courage we're going to give us weapons but the courage [40:07] disappointed us the courage take take take they have a great reputation in Congress Congress says [40:12] oh they fight so hard now they fight hard when they get paid so I'm very disappointed in the courage but [40:19] they were given I said it wasn't gonna work by the way I just have to say it I I disagreed with what [40:26] they did they gave it I said they'll never get there and I was right I like to be right in this case too [40:32] bad but we sent some guns with ammunition and there was supposed to be delivered but they kept it I said [40:40] they're gonna keep it but what what do I know I've only been doing this a short period of time what do I know [40:45] what for the time being the ceasefire remains in place it's unbelievably weak I would say I would [40:56] call it the weakest right now after reading that piece of garbage they sent us I didn't even finish [41:02] reading it they said I'm not gonna waste my time reading it I would say it's one of the weakest right [41:08] now it's on life support they understand these are all medical people dr. Oz life support is not a good [41:15] thing do you agree I prognostic I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor [41:21] walks in and says sir your loved one has approximately a one percent chance of living yeah [41:30] Mr. President Daniel go ahead yep one of the best reporters in Washington thank you sir dr. Oz referenced [41:37] this a little early two questions on health care if I can the council of economic advisors released a [41:41] report saying that the most favored nation drug deals will generate about 529 billion dollars in [41:47] domestic savings over the next 10 years across all markets how transformative and it makes people [41:54] better yeah it does how transformative are these deals for millions of Americans and do you believe [42:00] that the most favored nation drug deals are the Republicans golden ticket to the midterms I think the [42:06] Republicans should walk away with the midterms now typically whoever is president they vote the [42:12] other way nobody knows this do we have a psychiatrist in the group nobody knows why because I think we've [42:18] had the best president a lot of people have said even some radical left lunatics have said that we've [42:23] had the best presidency the best first year of any president look I stopped eight wars got the largest tax [42:29] cuts in history the largest regulation cuts in history all the things we've done so many like all of this that [42:34] we've done medically we've done so much you know we did a thing called right to try and my first and I [42:41] could never understand it when I was a civilian which wasn't so long ago I haven't been doing it [42:46] that long but I always used to marvel at the fact that if they had a great drug and it had to go through [42:52] the FDA and the FDA guarded it and said you can't use it and if a person was terminally ill and the jug was [43:00] showing great promise the person certainly up they wouldn't give it to the person because [43:05] they didn't want to hurt the person and I said well we need something on that and it was very [43:09] important to me and I had no idea would be so hard to get but we got it in total we got it in full it's [43:15] called right to try that if you're terminally ill you have the right to try a drug that has not gone [43:22] even anywhere near final if it shows even a little promise and we've saved thousands of lives it's very [43:29] hard to get because the insurance companies didn't want it the doctors didn't want it because the doctors [43:33] wouldn't want to be blamed the drug companies didn't want it because if it didn't work they [43:39] didn't want it on their record so what we did is we said we're not going to count it on your record if [43:44] somebody's terminally ill and they take the drug doesn't work we're not going to count it we'll [43:48] have another record you know a little smaller one that not a lot of people look at but we're not [43:52] going to count it on your record so right to try is has been one of the great successes again [43:57] nobody talks about we've saved thousands of lives of us but you know what is maybe even more important [44:03] we've learned very quickly that some drugs work and some drugs don't in other words some drugs take [44:09] a person who's terminally ill and and there are numerous cases and without waiting seven years ten [44:17] years we by the way we think we've cut it in half but but you do need a period of time without waiting [44:23] many many years we know the drug works because we've taken people that were dead we had a person [44:29] given the last rights god the kids are crying and and started them on this drug and the person became [44:38] better it works you know and some don't work but you learn really fast it's called the ultimate test i [44:46] think right you know they test all these things they use animals all over the place they use everything [44:51] to test pizza person is going to die so they didn't want it because they don't want to be sued for [44:59] you know the drug companies didn't want to be sued if it didn't work the country didn't want to be [45:02] sued so i got everybody into a room and i said we're going to do this but if anybody uses it they have to [45:08] sign a document they signed a very strong document that they're not going to sue the doctor they're not [45:12] going to sue the country they're not going to sue the manufacturer the pharmaceutical company they're not [45:18] going to sue anybody but we're going to give it a shot it has been right to try it's been so successful [45:23] it's been amazing nobody talks about it but everyone knows how successful there was a young man that uh [45:29] revisited on uh actually los angeles who's taking advantage of this program katie actually spoke to [45:34] him by phone he's from alabama uh that he reached out to you directly and this is the same program that [45:39] benefited him and just to put numbers on the council economic advisors is between you know 500 and [45:44] whatever it was 30 million that she said in 700 billion dollars in savings so we estimate at 600 [45:49] billion dollars in total savings and the impact on the american people ms president is one in three [45:53] americans leave a drugstore without their medication because they can't afford it even though they got [45:57] a doctor's prescription they know they can make a difference in their lives that will no longer [46:01] happen with the most favored nation drug pricing and we're giving drugs like the the uh which as you [46:05] call the fat shot the weight loss drugs to all beneficiaries of medicare every senior in america can get [46:11] them for 50 starting on july 1st these are just inconceivably good prices and they're so good [46:17] in fact that we actually see the taxpayer money by reducing the downstream effects of obesity diabetes [46:22] and hypertension this president all possible because you took brave action and again the question we [46:27] should be asking ourselves is why did that why didn't this happen a decade ago katie what you think [46:30] about that young man that he is um he has a new lease on hope and it's because of you i talked to his [46:37] parents and they said we feel so good about our country that we literally have the president and [46:42] dr oz and secretary kennedy doing everything possible to give our son a fighting chance [46:47] they said before you know no one was listening uh but you mr president took action and uh will roberts [46:53] that he that is such a he is such a great young man right to try so many people nobody talks about [46:59] thousands of people but but it's also it's like this incredible laboratory of people that are [47:06] they're finished they're terminally ill they're not going to live and we weren't given and this [47:11] went on for years you know this went on madam secretary you're doing such a good job with prices [47:17] agriculture and how's the beef though we got to get the beef down we're working on it it's the only [47:22] thing we got to get the beef down but it's becoming more affordable this was this was uh so incredible [47:28] because and i marveled at it for 30 years and say why i'd have friends that were terminally ill [47:36] you'd meet people they were really in bad shape they weren't going to make it and they couldn't [47:40] get a drug that looked like it was going to work they couldn't get it i they asked me to get it you [47:45] have contacts you know could you get it you couldn't get it you go to jail if you get and they were [47:50] going to die they'd die three weeks later four weeks later and we're saving a lot of people that [47:55] were gone that were terminally ill and and and what we're doing is producing almost immediately you [48:00] you know you can almost immediately approve these drugs but it was very you know look legally it was a [48:06] disaster because everybody would be sued the problem is somebody would die and then they blame [48:10] the drug and then the drug company gets sued the doctors the country gets sued you know a member of [48:15] the family goes crazy and and you're settling for millions of dollars because you killed somebody [48:21] that was going to be dead in two weeks so i did that and i'm very proud of it the other thing doc [48:27] a doctor mentioned the uh fat drug so think of it eighty seven dollars it would sell in london [48:34] and one thousand three hundred dollars in new york for the exact same box made i won't name the [48:43] company made by the same company in the same facility eighty seven dollars in london eighty seven dollars in [48:51] heidelberg eighty seven dollars in paris one thousand three hundred and seventy dollars it's true [48:59] in new york and this went on for a long time and i want to tell you you know he could be a famous guy [49:05] he's begging me not to release his name he's a very highly neurotic very fat sort of a fat slap i would call it [49:13] but he's a brilliant man we know many of those people he's a brilliant guy actually but he said [49:19] uh president what the hell's going on here he he didn't need the money he's rich as hell but he [49:25] he just couldn't understand why he had to pay so little in london he went to london [49:30] and he couldn't understand it he said this is crazy and it actually motivated me in a certain way [49:35] because he was very smart he he did a study he actually said his people and he traced this medicine [49:42] and he found out it was the box here is the same box as he had in new york it was he made in the same [49:47] plant and it cost you know ten times more here than it did in london and and that that there are [49:54] worse stories than that and i said that's it it's over we're going to do it that got me really motivated [50:00] he's begging me not to release his name because he is a well-known person and i so destroyed his [50:07] reputation in terms of his physicality that he just doesn't want i said you know you've had a big [50:14] impact on medicine because you got you got to be better than any normal person could have you know [50:19] he said no i don't want to okay yeah please what do you hope to get out of the summit in china and [50:25] how much has the war in iran a lot look look i have a great relationship with president xi we're [50:31] doing a lot of business but it's smart business we used to be uh taking advantage of for years with [50:37] our previous presidents and now we're doing great with china we make a lot of money with china [50:41] i have a great relationship with with the president xi and i think you can see that with [50:46] the fact that in harmuz they get a big percentage 40 of their oil from harmuz there's been no ships [50:54] coming in no nasty ships coming in that we end up in skirmishes with there's been he'd like to see [51:01] it get done he doesn't want to see i'll tell you what look i respect him a lot and hopefully he respects [51:07] me he didn't respect our previous government that i can tell you the guy couldn't talk [51:12] it was ridiculous how that ever happened our country has hurt so badly the last four years [51:18] you know i say it all the time it was the king of saudi arabia but everybody says we were a dead [51:23] country a year and a half ago and now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world and you know [51:28] that better than anybody you know you see that olivia sees that you see it in the numbers look at the [51:34] numbers look at the stock market the stock market is now higher than it was when this war started [51:40] so i thought that would go down 20 25 percent i was it was fine you know i'm willing to i'm willing [51:47] to it's a terrible expression take a bullet it's a terrible expression especially when it's used by me [51:56] but i am i'm willing to take a bullet for the country and i said look the stock market is going [52:00] to go down but we're going to have a a threat of lunatics having they're lunatics having a nuclear [52:08] weapon i deal with them i deal with them i say it to them i say you people are crazy i deal with them [52:15] they talk differently i say you're crazy you're crazy people you're nuts you're not having a nuclear [52:21] weapon they think they can talk me into it and then they don't do very well with it but they know how [52:27] i feel they can't have a nuclear weapon they would use it within an hour after getting it [52:33] if the obama deal wasn't terminated by me they would have had it six years ago and they would have [52:39] used it immediately on israel and also the rest of the middle east you saw that when they started [52:44] shooting rockets nobody thought saudi arabia and qatar and uau were going to get hit or kuwait [52:51] bahrain they i think it was a tremendous strategic mistake and they wasted those missiles we have the [52:58] patriots that knocked them down every time you know we had i told the story we have we were shot at [53:04] one of our great assets happen to be a ship great ship 111 missiles going at very high rates of speed [53:12] sophisticated equipment and you know that's all they did is build missiles thousands of missiles who has [53:18] who does this except for people that are looking for trouble we had 111 shot at one of our ships over [53:26] a very short period of time out of 111 missiles going at 3 000 miles an hour all 111 missiles [53:36] were knocked down into the ocean prior long prior to arriving at the target and the cool guys the [53:43] coolest guys are the guys that do this you know they're not growing their brain they they sit there [53:49] missile shot you're going to see it happening missiles coming they got like about 13 seconds to make a [53:54] decision it's not like gee let's figure it out they make a wrong calculation you know you lose them a lot [54:02] of men a lot of men a lot of men and a lot of billion dollars times 10 ships so but there's a level of [54:10] coolness that missile shot but they look blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and you know they're going [54:18] heading 47 degrees north 1300 feet going 3 000 miles an hour okay we have it in our side [54:29] fire boom 10 seconds let me tell you they need smart people these people are smart and they're so smart [54:39] that they're cool you know under the calculations for some people are very tough for other people [54:45] not so tough this you know about one percent there's not too many uh there's not too many people around [54:50] like that i say uh i call a lot of times i'll call these gunners because they're phenomenal geniuses [54:57] you know where did you go to school i went to mit where did you go to school i went to the best [55:02] schools smart gotta be smart we have the greatest military in the world okay thank you president [55:09] um back to motherhood your one big beautiful bill i like that because this is about motherhood not about [55:16] the beautiful country of iran go ahead thank you all for being here your one big beautiful bill [55:21] defunded planned parenthood for one year but that expires on this july 4th would you like congress to use [55:27] well we're going to see what happens congress is now negotiating we've been very good for the [55:34] people that want it for the people that are here and we'll see how that goes it's been a very thorny [55:40] to put it to put it mildly it's been a very thorny issue uh it's under it's all under negotiation right [55:46] now yes ma'am would you like to see that defund go ahead please thank you mr president um what do you [55:52] think about the handling of the uh hunter virus by the u.s i think fine do you regret um the drawing [56:00] from the who no i'm glad so we were paying the world health organization 500 million dollars a year [56:12] look it's a lot of money but in the overall scope it's not that much but it's a lot of money [56:16] and we weren't being treated well and they were making the wrong diagnosis i was the one that said [56:23] it came from wuhan they didn't say that they refused to say that because they were totally owned [56:28] by china so i was saying it came from wuhan they didn't want to say that now it's turned out i think [56:34] it's been conclusive that it came from one but i said that on the first day because i saw satellite [56:39] pictures with body bags all over wuhan literally all over wuhan so i said that they lied to me or they [56:47] didn't know so we were paying for let's say 350 million people we were paying 500 million dollars [56:56] a year to the world health organization that's a lot about what the hell are they going to do with [57:00] that kind of money and china was paying 39 million dollars a year for 1.4 billion people so i said you [57:09] know you got your story wrong because we should be paying about 10 million dollars not 500 million and [57:15] they were willing to negotiate but it was so popular when i pulled out they gave us all wrong [57:20] information on covet they were totally wrong and i looked today and i saw the same doctor that was [57:26] there he's a good politician i don't know how the hell he kept his job but he was there telling us about [57:31] this now the one thing with this one is that it's much harder to catch and we've had it for a long we've [57:38] it's been around for a long time people are very familiar with it so uh you know i hope it's fine [57:44] all i can do is everything that a president can do which is some which is actually somewhat limited [57:49] but but uh it seems like it is not uh easy to spread in fact it's in certain ways very hard to spread [58:00] it's been we've we've lived with it for years many years and we think we're in very good shape we're [58:05] very careful and nebraska has done a fantastic job they have a a a place there that those doctors [58:13] are unbelievable the job they've done yeah please yeah i'm gonna uh reduce until the let me tell you [58:23] as soon as this is over with iran as soon as it's over you're going to see uh gasoline and oil drop [58:31] like a rock going to be dropping down like a rock i mean already look just on the basis of you know [58:40] things have happened when it first came about uh 20 of the oil came out of hormuz that's a lot but you [58:49] know with time it's like they're going to texas they're going to louisiana they're going to alaska [58:57] a lot of alaska alaska is you know sort of it seems like very far away from the from asia but it's actually [59:03] a relatively short trip by comparison to other locations they have to go to to get oil and they [59:11] go into alaska in fact our big problem is we're building bigger docks docking you know dr philip [59:17] but we have uh we've become very big on the filling station we're a big filling station and what's [59:24] happening is when this first when people heard about losing hormos they said oh this is it's genius [59:32] they're finding other locations and some of those people i spoke to them companies and countries [59:39] some of those people are going to continue to go to texas they like it better they said it's an extra [59:44] 45 minutes they like it better and it's sort of amazing you know it found its way so a lot of people [59:52] thought oil would go to 250 300 it's not i mean today it's at less than 100. think of that now when [1:00:00] this ends you're going to see a drop like a rock how long are you going to suspend that tax [1:00:07] till it's appropriate yeah it's a it's a you know it's a small percentage but it's you know it's still [1:00:13] money do you still believe that diplomatic solution is possible with iran or do you only have military [1:00:20] options no i i think it's very possible look i've had to deal with them four or five times they change [1:00:26] your mind they're very dishonorable people the leadership don't forget it's the third level [1:00:33] the first level is god they were unreasonable the second level is more reasonable the third level [1:00:39] nobody wants to be president you know they say who wants to be president there's nobody raises their [1:00:44] hands but we're uh they just they change their mind i've i've had that in business many times like [1:00:51] you know the mind changes you call them they these people that you make a deal and then the next day [1:00:56] they send you a document that takes that takes five days to get there when it should have been [1:01:02] there in 20 minutes you know it's a pretty simple document they will never have a nuclear weapon yeah [1:01:07] thank you sir i was speaking with claire lye this morning she's the daughter of jimmy lye and she told [1:01:11] me that she's been praying and hoping that you'll be the one that brings her dad home she says of any [1:01:16] administration she thinks you're the one that could do it you said jimmy lye jimmy lye's daughter and [1:01:20] there's another gentleman a minister pastor as you know i'll bring them both up um i brought it up [1:01:29] before jimmy lye i brought up the other one i just heard about this morning actually and uh [1:01:34] i do bring that up you know we've gotten i don't know if you've been reading john cole who's a great [1:01:39] lawyer he uh he was a tobacco lawyers great great guy i won't say he's an older guy because he may be [1:01:46] offended by that but he is he's a little older a little older and he's a wise man actually made a [1:01:52] fortune with the tobacco he did the first tobacco lawsuit and he's a great man and he uh he's brought [1:01:59] back hundreds of people out of various belarus you know you read about that we had and the leader has [1:02:07] been fantastic but somebody has to ask him biden never asked we asked and we were getting hundreds [1:02:14] of people out of confinement and prisons that shouldn't be there and hundreds and many of them [1:02:20] aren't even citizens of the united states they're people that have been captured in some form ministers [1:02:27] people that are really innocent people and they're being held captive and i bring up jimmy lye now jimmy [1:02:35] lye you know it caused a lot of bedlam i don't know it's like saying to me [1:02:41] uh if comey ever went to jail would you let him out that's it might be a hard one for me does that [1:02:51] make sense it might be hard you know because he's a dirty cop but jimmy lye isn't that way but jimmy [1:02:57] lye he caused lots of turmoil for china he tried to do the right thing he wasn't successful went to jail [1:03:06] and people would like him out and i'd like to see him get out too so i'll bring him up again i have brought [1:03:12] him up and there's another gentleman a pastor as you know with a beautiful daughter and son-in-law [1:03:19] that would like to see him get out i'm going to bring his name up mr president what about taiwan [1:03:23] do you expect taiwan to come up in your yeah it always comes up um yeah it always comes up it's uh [1:03:29] i used to say uh ukraine would you know four years you never even heard the word ukraine it was never [1:03:35] going to happen and it was handled so badly ukraine ukraine should have never come up they lost last [1:03:42] month 25 000 soldiers both sides 25 000 they're losing on average 25 000 soldiers it's like a [1:03:49] meat grinder it's horrible what's happening that would have never happened had the election not been [1:03:54] rigged that would have never happened and putin and i would talk about it but there was never any [1:04:00] he would have never done it um taiwan i equated a little bit to that if you have the right president [1:04:08] i don't think it'll happen i think we'll be fine i have a very good relationship with [1:04:12] president chi knows i don't want that to happen uh very far away very very far away went just at [1:04:19] 9 500 miles you know we're 9 500 miles he's 67 miles it's a little bit of a difference but [1:04:29] you know there's a lot of there's a lot of support for taiwan from japan and from countries from that [1:04:36] area do you think we should still be selling them weapons the united states well i'm going to have that [1:04:40] discussion with president chi president she would like us not to uh and i'll have that discussion [1:04:46] that's one of the many things i'll be talking about well you know he and i have gotten along [1:04:51] well other than with covet i you know i was not uh i was i was just not accepting of what happened with [1:04:59] go but other than that he and i have had he's a great gentleman i find him to be an amazing an amazing [1:05:06] man and when i say that the press always says oh that's terrible that he called him you know he [1:05:12] runs 1.4 billion people with a pretty iron fist he's uh he loves his country i can tell you that [1:05:20] president chi i look forward to being there and if he felt anything we wouldn't we wouldn't be doing it [1:05:27] but uh a lot of good things can happen you know we'll be talking about i mean he'll bring up taiwan [1:05:33] i think more than i will but i i think that um a discussion will be a little bit about a little [1:05:40] bit about energy and about the very beautiful country of iran and by the way iran is a beautiful [1:05:48] country but it's got people running it now that shouldn't be there perhaps yeah just a couple [1:05:54] questions outside of these amazing benefits from employers for idf there are a lot of women out there [1:05:59] who either they work part-time or they self-pay for health insurance is there an option for [1:06:04] ibf and what would you like to know for ibf bring it down to the cost that's associated [1:06:11] i don't know olivia could you answer that question please uh we're trying to make putting her through [1:06:16] a little training here tom let's see whether or not she's got it i have no doubt she does just a soft [1:06:23] fall from the president and happy moms let's give this one to olivia we are focused on making america [1:06:28] the safest and best place to have a baby um the ibf question i think you'd probably be better hit by [1:06:34] senator brit and dr fink and others yeah so what we're trying to do is obviously make sure that [1:06:40] people have greater access and the affordability goes down we did that obviously with what you saw [1:06:45] from the president last year the two different announcements he made um we've seen uh you know [1:06:49] over gosh i mean thousands of people have more more access um with regards to affordability i think [1:06:55] we've saved about 15 million dollars but we know that this is going to go up to the tunes of [1:07:00] billions of dollars with what we're doing here with being able to allow employers to do this we think [1:07:06] it will ultimately drive down to each and every person so that is the point the more that people [1:07:12] are able we want to get as secretary kennedy said we want to get to root causes as well so we want to [1:07:16] make sure that we are treating um the the entire issue not just putting a band-aid on it and moving on we [1:07:22] want people who want to bring life into the world to have that opportunity we do believe that this [1:07:26] will do that so a combination of allowing this to be available but then also the affordability element [1:07:32] i think it's down as he said i mean some some of these drugs down 80 percent from a year ago some [1:07:37] down 40 percent every year ago um so it's a really exciting time and we do think that this will ultimately [1:07:43] be able to reach all americans but a lot of people don't realize it's available i spoke to people [1:07:47] they don't know about uh the trump they don't know about any of these things that you know where [1:07:55] you were you saving so much money where they can actually afford it you know when you get prices down [1:08:00] to just a tiny fraction of what they used to be that's one of the reasons i don't need it for myself [1:08:06] i get enough publicity but i needed to inform the public a lot of people like your question is a good [1:08:12] question but a lot of people don't know ivf and so many other things that could help them [1:08:18] that they they assume it's so expensive it's not within their price range and they're not going [1:08:22] to be able to afford it or even think about it and then they hear about these numbers and in addition [1:08:27] there's some help that we give them beyond even the low numbers mr president only one in three americans [1:08:32] know what trump rx.gov does it would be a great service i know he kids you a lot about this not getting [1:08:38] uh uh reported appropriately but there is no excuse to buy drugs make sure you're getting the best and sir [1:08:48] we've got tens of millions of people who are going to it but you know there's hundreds of millions of [1:08:52] americans so we have got to get americans realize you mentioned fertility if you get fertility drugs [1:08:57] are probably a third of the cost of the entire process for those to drop by 90 percent dramatically [1:09:02] changes the equation they're private companies who are now taking advantage of the whole large group of [1:09:07] individuals who can get access to fertility medications and these treatments that go with [1:09:11] them and as the services get better uh we make them more affordable we'll have more truck babies yeah and we [1:09:16] hope that that lays the groundwork though so that anyone has an ability to receive these and also [1:09:21] remember this is all on moms.gov as well i mean that's one thing we're trying to do is make sure that [1:09:25] we are pushing people to all of these resources because when you either want to have a child or you [1:09:30] find out you have a child you know sometimes that's a very exciting thing sometimes you know it's [1:09:34] you're a little overwhelmed we want all of those resources to be in one spot so that we can help these [1:09:39] women in their journey and when people hear how inexpensive it is relative you know they can't even think about it [1:09:45] now all of a sudden they say i can afford that and they get help also in affording it [1:09:49] there are ways of getting help to afford even those low prices how about one more last question [1:09:55] please thank you mr president what do you say to infectious diseases experts who say they are [1:10:01] worried the country may not be prepared to deal with something like hantavirus uh because of all [1:10:06] the hhs you know funding and staffing cuts well i think we take care of that uh and you want to [1:10:11] ask it it's just not true uh jay butasharia is uh taking this task on secretary kennedy is involved [1:10:17] with them you can speak to perhaps even better than in fact the best in the room but uh the country's [1:10:21] prepared the cdc is focused on it and uh and the agency is uh is well aware of the opportunities to [1:10:26] actually treat this problem not just try to prevent in the future but treat if it happens now secretary [1:10:31] yeah i mean we've had uh cdc teams on it from day one i was speaking with the university of nebraska [1:10:39] since the second day of the outbreak i was speaking with governor billet of nebraska we had a cdc team [1:10:46] at tenerife we had airplanes ready to take the patients the 17 patients off the uh the vessel and [1:10:57] transport two of them went to atlanta one of those was uh symptomatic they earned a biocontainment lab [1:11:04] in atlanta other 16 are now in nebraska one of them is symptomatic he is in the biocontainment lab [1:11:13] the other ones are being tested and supervised and given plans for going home we have this under [1:11:20] control and we're not worried about it but the cdc took four days after the who uh issued its you know [1:11:28] alert why was it why why did it take the universe 40s to issue an alert it's not true we as soon as we [1:11:37] determined that the virus was out there we issued an alert the alert means nothing they acted very [1:11:42] quickly i saw the alert yeah give me give me they acted very very quickly and it looks like and you [1:11:49] know can't bet anybody's life on it but it looks like it's just a disease that we've had around in a [1:11:56] very small way for a long time not a good one to catch because you know it's a very severe disease [1:12:02] if you catch it but it's very hard to catch daniel did you have a question one last one senator britt [1:12:06] mentioned the website moms.gov one of the policies that's on there right are the trump accounts [1:12:10] right they're getting ready to go live this summer when you speak to young parents this is one of the [1:12:14] policies they repeatedly bring up about how impactful it would be for them can you just talk about why [1:12:19] americans need to know about this and how important it is for younger parents they knew their case [1:12:24] so we've done more for young parents i guess it's a way you could say it's a great beautiful term [1:12:29] but we've done more for young parents in any administration ever in history and [1:12:35] we're going to continue to do so this is uh look at the people up here they're all like [1:12:40] brilliant i i i'm one of the young ones you know i'm that's right i'm a similar age to all of you [1:12:46] very similar i feel the same as them i actually feel for sure you know i don't know what this is i feel the [1:12:52] same as i did 50 years ago it's crazy uh someday there'll be a day when that won't happen i'll [1:13:00] let i'll let bobby and odds know you know it's not quite the same but i feel literally the same i don't [1:13:05] know why i'm not it's not because i eat the best foods maybe though they are the best foods who knows [1:13:10] what the best foods are maybe maybe junk food is good and the other food is no good i know people [1:13:16] that eat the best food they go to a restaurant they have celery and i don't want and i'll have steak and [1:13:22] everything else and i say how you doing well it's over for me at a young age and all they do is [1:13:31] watch it i know many many people that all they do is watch their weight their this and that and [1:13:38] they kick the bucket and here we are i feel great thank you daniel thank you very much everybody [1:13:43] have a good time thank you guys thank you guys thank you guys thank you thank you thank you guys
