1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Thursday, November six, and what an 2 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: eventful afternoon in the Oval Office the President having a 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: press conference announcing a landmark deal when it comes to 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: prescription drugs, in fact, some of the most popular prescription 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: drugs in the country. But that wasn't the most eventful part. 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: There was a medical emergency while he was making this 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: medical announcement and with that, welcome to this episode of 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: Robes. 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: This is pretty dramatic stuff. Dude just flat out fainted 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of this landmark deal being announced in 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: the Oval Office, right next to President Trump. 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: It was, and the video is everywhere, and it is 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: remarkable to see kind of almost in slow motion as 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: everyone specifically the President recognizes or realizes that this guy 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: is going down, everyone saying are you okay? And it 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: seemed like he almost steadied himself and then whoop. 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: He went all the way to we've seen this before, 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: and actually we've seen this probably as many press conferences 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: and things we've covered and been to that. Yeah, you 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: can see somebody starting to fade. You can see this 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: in hold on all right in the middle. Maybe they've 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: been standing too long. Maybe the lights of getting to them, 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: maybe a little nervous, but we saw it kind of 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: happening with this guy. But look, this was a big deal, folks. 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: We were talking about gop ones. We are talking about 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: the multi billion dollar drug right now that's so popularly 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: helping people lose so much weight. They're making a huge 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: announcement today that they are two of the biggest drug 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: makers in the world made a deal with the Trump 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: administration to slash the price of these gop ones. That 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: is a big, big, big deal that could change health 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: in this country. Giving more access to these drugs, which 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: is not just about weight loss, but if your weight 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: goes down, it's going to help you in so many 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: other ways. This could really take a huge strain look 37 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: off of the healthcare system. 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: Of course, obesity and all of the ripple effects from 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: obesity is one of our biggest, if not the biggest 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: health issue in this country. You're talking about diabetes, cancer, 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: high blood pressure, heart disease. 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: All of this has to do with obesity. 43 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: So if we can figure out how to help people 44 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: trim their weight and be healthier, you were going to 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: save count Like I don't even think you can put 46 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: a price tag on the dollar figure we could save 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: in not just lives, but in all of the treatments 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: for all of the diseases that come from obesity. 49 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: Dr Oz was making that point today as well, and 50 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: that's a good one to make. This isn't about vanity. 51 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: We talk about people want to lose weight, and we 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: talk about celebrities or on the drug and all this stuff. No, 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: this could help countless folks not just lose weight, but 54 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: live better lives. So this was a big deal. This 55 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: was a landmark announcement. But it got delayed, pushed back 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: half an hour to an hour. And again I believe 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: it was the head of Eli Lily that was speaking 58 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: at the time. But what was happening. The President is 59 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: sitting at his desk in the Oval office, and over 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: to his left they had a little podium set up 61 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: a microphone. A lot of people actually were in there 62 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: making this announcement. But the guy from Elon Lily is speaking. 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: He turns because he could feel kind of a commotion starting, 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: and he turned and tried to ask, like, are you 65 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: okay something, And sure enough rogues the guy starts going 66 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: down and I think two executives, two executives from one 67 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: of the drug companies actually catch this guy. 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: Yes, and there were three of them initially actually holding him, 69 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: trying to help him get down quickly. 70 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: And then you'll see very was it, Carolyn Lovitt? 71 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: Certainly there was a security guard there immediately telling all 72 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: of the reporters and cameras in the Oval Office to 73 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: get out. Shut the cameras down now. I mean they 74 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: were stern and quick. It was very dramatic to watch 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: that happen. 76 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they She put out a statement later saying 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: that the guy was being treated and he was doing okay. 78 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: This was from Carolyn Levitt saying during the most favorite 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: Nation's Oval Office announcement, a representative from one of the 80 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: companies fainted. The White House Medical Union quickly jumped in action, 81 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: and the gentleman is, okay, the press conference will resume shortly. 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: It did resume again. It was at least half hours this. 83 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: Was It was close to an hour. According to a 84 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: lot of reporters. 85 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: It was nearly an hour delayed because of this medical emergency. 86 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: I guess that was a good place to have one. 87 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: He was surrounded by medical effic and doctors, and I 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: give doctor Oz credit. He jumped in, went right to 89 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: the guy started helping out. Now a couple of things. 90 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: Nothing is funny about a medical emergency, but some folks 91 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: are pointing out and I didn't catch it initially, but 92 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: it looks like and they're making light of RFK juniors 93 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: in the room at the time, and he is standing 94 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: in one particular part when the medical emergency happens, it 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: appears at least he heads for the hills. Now it's bizarre, 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: like he didn't even stick around to say, what what's 97 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: going on? I get it, but a lot of people 98 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: are making it. 99 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: He might have just felt like, Hey, we've got doctor 100 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: Oz like he just mentioned, and we've got pharmaceutical reps 101 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: who probably are around all sorts of healthcare issues, so 102 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: he's covered. 103 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: It's good they don't need me. 104 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: And actually I got to make a phone call or 105 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: whatever it was he needed to do. 106 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you one hundred percent had to pee at 107 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: that time. He was looking for it was an. 108 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: Opportunity to go ahead and quickly get done what needed 109 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: to be done. 110 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, we're making a little light, but folk 111 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: the video, you can't deny what it looks like. We're 112 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: not saying what he was doing and what he should 113 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: have done. But a lot of people are pointing out 114 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: he absolutely just disappears, saying almost like he's running away. 115 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: I think he's probably just getting out of the way. 116 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: At that time, doctors did help. The other picture that 117 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: is also everywhere, and you can't help but go what 118 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: it's just bizarre. The President of the United States standing 119 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: at his desk, looking straight ahead, right Rhodes Stern Trump 120 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: face okay, And to his left on the ground are 121 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: two metal company executives, one of them physically holding the 122 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: ankles of the guy who has fainted up in the air, 123 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: which is what you're supposed to do when somebody faints, 124 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: trying to get blood back down to the heart into 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: the head. But that image. 126 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: Robes of his he turned his back in it, and 127 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: you're right, he looks stern, he looks like but he's 128 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: looking ahead powerfully almost and yet behind him total chaos, 129 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: and either it looks like he's not aware of or 130 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't give a rats ass about. 131 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: But the guy to see the guy's legs being held 132 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: in the air in the oval office right behind the 133 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: President's desk. Well, the President looks ahead as if he 134 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: cannot be concerned. However, we actually. 135 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: As you're saying, well, that's exactly what it is. You've 136 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: got the President sinny. Honestly, the look on his face, 137 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: it's almost like he's annoyed, Like I was in the 138 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: middle of something here, people, I was really excited about 139 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: what I was telling everyone, and he just looks kind 140 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: of just interested and annoyed and almost like. 141 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: He's shrugging his shoulders, like you gotta be kidding me. 142 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: Okay, meantime, Yes, you've got actually three executives on the 143 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: ground holding up the man trying to get to him, 144 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: holding the legs up. Other people who are in the 145 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: room are looking on at the scene. The only person 146 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: not looking at what's happening is President Trump. 147 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: It's a bizarre picture. In fairness, the photographer just happened 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: to catch this moment. A still photographer did. But when 149 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: it happened and the video showed, the President immediately turned 150 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: and went to the y. So he went to the guy, Yes, 151 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: he absolutely did. But the picture is just what the 152 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: picture is. 153 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: It was after the fact, because yes, immediately he did 154 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: react appropriately. 155 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Yes, so let's make sure that is explained. So it's 156 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: quite an eventful afternoon before it got eventful. Ro this 157 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: is a big deal. The CDC says, we spend what 158 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy plus million, excuse me, billillion dollars 159 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: in this country on obesity treatment taking care of people 160 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: who are obese. So the idea of getting that number 161 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: down and to think that these medicines, which everybody won't 162 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: go as far as saying miracle medicines, but damn near clothes, 163 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: they say these things are working, and so now more 164 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: people got act well. 165 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: Glp ones do a lot of things that make a 166 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: lot of sense. It's understandable why you lose weight. They 167 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: inhibit the release of lucagen and a hormone that raises 168 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: your blood sugar levels, so it also delays the emptying 169 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: of the stomach, which helps you feel fuller longer, and 170 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: they actually act on your brain to suppress your appetite 171 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: so then you don't eat as much. So you can 172 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: see the science behind these types of drugs were actually 173 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: four diabetes about controlling blood sugar levels, about controlling glucagen. 174 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: But the result is weight loss, and so it's pretty remarkable. 175 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: People always said you're never going to find a miracle 176 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: pill or a miracle drug. Turns out, actually it looks 177 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: like they did find one. 178 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: At this point, everybody, don't you have somebody in your life, 179 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: somebody in your circle who has been on these things 180 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: and you saw them just transform. Yes, over the past 181 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: six months a year now that they've been taking these things, 182 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: we have all seen it and they absolutely do work. 183 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: But what we're talking about here, well does So many 184 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: of them have been cost prohibitive. Some people just don't 185 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: have access to this stuff, and you can't pay because 186 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: if you're paying out a pocket, you're talking about one 187 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollars plus a month to get this medication. If 188 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: you have insurance, on average, you're still around five hundred 189 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: bucks a month, but you got insurance. 190 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: But even if you have insurance, you can't get it 191 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: just for weight loss. You have to you have to 192 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: have another condition. I think you have to. In some 193 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: cases you have to be severely obese, which is a 194 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: BMI of thirty five or over I believe. 195 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 3: But in other cases you. 196 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: Have to have heart disease or diabees, some other underlying 197 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 2: condition before they'll even consider giving it to you. 198 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of the I didn't know this. Bro. 199 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: When you say weight loss injection, the first thing comes 200 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: to people's mind. Olympic ozempic Ozmpic Olympic. I didn't realize 201 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: ozempic is not even federally approved for weightlight loss. It's 202 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: for type two diabetes, yes, which then of course leads 203 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: to weight loss. But I didn't get that. So to 204 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: your point about all these drugs we hear, is it 205 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: zep bound, there's a zimpig all these things, they're just 206 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: different methods of administering the same type of drug that 207 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: does kind of pretty much the same thing, but they're 208 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: just different versions. 209 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 3: They're all GLP one. 210 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, there you go. They're all kind of that. 211 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: So what we're doing here, and what he announced is 212 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: that the costs of these things are going to go 213 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: way way down. So for folks, they're gonna see prices 214 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: in the range of one hundred and fifty dollars a 215 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: month now. In particular, that's for the pill form that's 216 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: gonna expect it to be approved and gonna be available 217 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: as early as next year. One hundred fifty dollars a 218 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: month for gop ones. 219 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: Yes, And if you're eating less and you're looking better, 220 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: and your medical bills are lower and you have to 221 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: take fewer other drugs because you don't have other underlying conditions. Now, 222 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: it actually is so reasonable. 223 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: They're talking about now the injections, the ones that are 224 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: popular people give to themselves. Again, we're talking about one 225 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: thousand plus dollars a month if you're paying for this 226 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: out of pocket. They're talking two hundred and fifty dollars 227 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: a month potentially now for a lot of these injections. Look, 228 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: there are different rules for this, and that we're talking 229 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: to some generalities here, but generally speaking, if this works 230 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: and all these are going to be on trumprx dot 231 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: com that we've heard. 232 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: Like a direct pay direct access to these meds. 233 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: But if you have Medicare, yes, fifty dollar copey, that 234 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: is remarkable. Medicare and Medicaid or just medicare it I 235 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: believe it's you can get it. 236 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: Yes, Medicaid is going to start covering this. Not the 237 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: fifty dollars copay thing talking about there, but Medicaid is 238 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: going to start amazing things. 239 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: It's amazing. 240 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: This is absolutely you know, I actually really liked the 241 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: way I think doctor Oz had misspoken about this. Some 242 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: people I was looking online, we're making fun of him 243 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: because he gave a different number. But our FKA Junior 244 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: put it like this. He said that basically, if we 245 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: get people who need to take these pills to start 246 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: taking GLP ones now because they're affordable, because they have 247 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: access to them, he predicted that the American public will 248 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: lose one hundred and twenty five million pounds collectively by 249 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: this time next year. 250 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: I was trying to get my head around that. That 251 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 3: is remarkable. 252 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: I think doctor Oz misspoken said billion instead of millions, 253 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: so people were doing math and saying, oh, that means 254 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: we'll all have to lose four hundred pounds by next year. 255 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: So anyway, I believe the real number is one hundred 256 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: and twenty five million pounds. 257 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: But that is an incredible perspective. 258 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: Doctor Oz never misspeaks. 259 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 3: Everybody does known him a long time. 260 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: Million and billion does make a big deal. The point 261 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: there being this is absolutely a big deal. Look the president. 262 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Folks say, oh, this has been in the works for 263 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: a long time, by the way, and we have to 264 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: add it. Did the companies just doing this out of 265 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: the goodness of their own hearts? 266 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: No? No, no, they are absolutely getting something out of 267 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: this deal. 268 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: As pharmaceutical companies are in it for something other than 269 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: just the good health of us. All yes, tongue in 270 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: cheek and saying that there. But still the point here 271 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: is that these companies he live. Literally, man, it's not 272 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: in front of me. Why am I are now going 273 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: to get a break on tariffs? So they are, of course, yes, 274 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: getting something out of this deal. So the President has 275 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: struck a deal. He says, It's been taken a little 276 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: while to get this thing done. This didn't just happen overnight. 277 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: But this is the second major announcement he's made now 278 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: in terms of getting prescription drug costs down. He said 279 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: he was going to do this. 280 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: And look what was interesting is Biden tried to do this, 281 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: and people appointed to the fact that Trump signed off 282 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: on it, like signed it out of even being a 283 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: possibility because it was going to cost you as taxpayers, 284 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: of course, billions of dollars over the next nine years. 285 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: So this is a way where you're not putting this 286 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: on American taxpayers. You are now getting the drug companies 287 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: to work with you. And so as we see, people 288 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: will Biden was going to do this, well, who was 289 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: going to pay for it? We were going to pay 290 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: for it. This is now a situation in which that's 291 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: not the case. 292 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: Hi, and some of you may be listening. Look, look, 293 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: look I don't have Medicare, I don't have Medicaid, I 294 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: have private insurance. What about me? Well, we'll tell you 295 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: what about you? Because of this landmark deal coming up, 296 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: and also just how many of us in this country 297 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: are considered obese, we'll tell you. Stay here, all right, folks, 298 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: We continue now with the landmark deal announced by President 299 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Trump today. Pretty exciting announcement. Even before the announcement was made, 300 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: we told you that somebody had a medical emergency. During 301 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: this major medical announcement. We're told he's doing okay, but 302 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: a guy fainted. He was a guest. As of this recording, 303 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't robes been Identify you seeing anything else? 304 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: Well, no, because I don't think we even gave the response, 305 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: because initially we did hear from the White House that 306 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: and you said this that they said it was Novo 307 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: Nordic's guy. But the company actually put out a statement 308 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 2: pretty quickly after saying hey, CEO Mike Doutstar and EVP 309 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: US Operations Dave Moore were the only two Novo Nordisk 310 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: representatives in the Oval Office. We hope the gentleman who 311 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: suffered a medical incident today is okay, so our guy 312 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: because so they had actually released the White House had released, 313 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: or at least it had gotten out another CEO's name 314 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: from Novo Nordisk, and Novo Nordis said enough he was 315 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: not in the Oval office. 316 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: So if you see reports that a. 317 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: Pharmaceutical company executive and they give a name, it's actually 318 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: wrong his. 319 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: Name, this is how things get going like this, Then 320 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: nobody takes a moment, just takes a beat to confirm 321 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: what's going on. That name's man. That man's name was trending. 322 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: On Twitter and he wasn't even there him. He was not. 323 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: It is really scary, and I'm talking about major news organizations. 324 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: You look up this guy now are reporting that it. 325 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: Was him, Yes, and even the Washington Post is reporting 326 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: rumors about who it may have been. So for whatever reason, 327 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: it's a mystery right now as of this recording, as. 328 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't know why it hasn't gone out, but yes, 329 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: it was why they reported everywhere. But that again, anyway, 330 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: that's not the guy. Private insurance robes they can do 331 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: what they want to do because it's private insurance, and 332 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: many of them, the majority of don't cover weight loss struggles. 333 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Just for weight loss. A lot of them will cover 334 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: die be these medications and whatnot, but they don't do this. However, 335 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: there is hope because they are paying attention to what Medicare, 336 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: Medicaid and the federal government do. 337 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: Correct. 338 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 2: So what happens in the public sector often trickles to 339 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: the private sector. So the hope is that yes, we 340 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: will start to see private insurance companies also cut cost 341 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: and offer this these types of weight loss drugs for 342 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 2: simply weight loss and not put any sort of specification 343 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: on it. 344 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: That's the hope that that is the help, that's the plan, 345 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: and it's needed. Where at a point we were talking 346 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: about this not terribly long ago on Morning Run Robes. 347 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: I think we did the states and I can't remember 348 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: what I think West Virginia and Mississippi where the two 349 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: when we were talking about obesity rates in this country. 350 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: We were talking about which states have the worst obesity rates. 351 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: But at that time we were doing a deep dive 352 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: on some of those numbers, and just remarkable to think 353 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: that forty plus percent of the US population is considered obese. 354 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: More than one hundred million adults in this country have 355 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 2: obesity and more than twenty two million adults in this 356 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: country have severe obesity. 357 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and I remember at the time. It's not 358 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: in front of me, but I remember when you broke 359 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: down demographics it was nearly one in two. The number 360 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: was like forty nine point nine for African Americans. 361 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: It was It was really sad and it was scary. 362 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: And it's not gotten better even with all the information 363 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: we have, even with all of the campaigns that have 364 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: been going on about getting active and eating better, and 365 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 2: it hasn't worked. 366 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: It's gotten significantly worse. 367 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: So, yes, this is a big announcement today that Robes 368 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: has the potential to change hell, to make a dent 369 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: in the health of Americans. You have to be all 370 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: for it. But at this point, on its surface, more 371 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: people having access to this stuff has to be a 372 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: good thing. 373 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: It's absolutely a good thing, and it's coming soon that 374 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: they say by mid twenty twenty six this should be 375 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 2: available and also pill form, so that's really for people 376 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: who don't like needles. 377 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 3: That's probably a huge relief.
