Now, we'll win, but it could take years.

So that's the second big way, right?

So you make laws, you pass rules.

The third way, which historically government has not used, I don't think, as effectively as possible, and this president, because he's a great negotiator, is able to push us in ways that historically not been done, is to just use the power to convene.

The U.S.

government can bring people together who would not normally talk.

They can give safe harbor to industry to come together and discuss problems that historically they would shy away from.

It's a great example.

Most favored nation drug pricing.

specifically addresses the problem you outlined, which is we just pay a bunch more for the exact same product, made the same factory often in America than our counterparts do here in Europe.

So the president says, we need to change that.

So he says, go talk to the drug companies, create some opportunities for risk for them, make some rules, create some projects that if we were to act on them would really hurt them.

A little pressure.

A little pressure.

Build the crowbars and the baseball bats.

okay cut some trees down hone the wood but don't use them right and he's very specifically said do not hurt the innovative nature of pharmaceuticals they are important to our nation they save lives we want to have the most innovative industries in the world because that's where the opportunities are differentiate ourselves it's also part of our national destiny be the best

So don't hurt the industry, but take some of the fat out of it.

Pull it back and give it to the American people.

Plus, it's the fair way of doing things.

And metaphorically, when you think about NATO and the president saying to NATO countries, we're all in it together to protect ourselves against external threats.
