nt everywhere, you know, how far you'd have to dig and how hard it would be. But wouldn't it be amazing to have something along the lines of the Boring Company? It would be all different technology because it would be drilling, not tunneling. But that would make everything work. You would have unlimited energy and it would be clean. Everybody would be happy with it. All you need is technology to…

So it wasn't only that they revised it downwards. It went from wildly positive to, well, it might have been negative, you know, could have been negative.
Now, how many of you remember when I had my Democrat debate friend on, a comedian whose name I can't remember right now? Can anybody remember his name? And he now has a show on CNN, the humor show. And I said something about the Biden employment numbers always getting revised down. And he doubted me because my source was not good.
Michael Ian Black. Yes. And he challenged me because I did not have a source, which was a good challenge because I was under the impression that his numbers always got revised, but I didn't have the data at hand or a source or a link or anything. So that was a perfectly reasonable thing to ask about.
But it turns out that my instinct about this was right on point. It's sort of stunning the degree to which the Biden administration was a complete lie.
The funny thing is that Democrats are so hypnotized by their own media that if you ask them could you compare the truth or the honesty of the Biden administration versus Trump, every one of them, every one of them would say, "Oh my god, Trump's this big old liar. Lying liar. All he does is lie." It's a good thing that Biden never did that. Everything that Biden did was a lie. From the Biden crime family stuff to the jobs reports to how well his brain was working. Everything, just everything about Biden was a lie.
Now, it might be that most things about presidents are not exactly true, but it would be amazing. I saw somebody do this. Was it Scott Jennings maybe challenged somebody on the panel on CNN? And he just laughed when they said that Biden was more honest.
Anyway, RFK Jr. was praising Trump for his executive order that would lower pharma costs in the United States and would make us pay no more than other countries, which would be a gigantic reduction in costs. But RFK Jr. was doing his little public statement about it. Trump was there.
And here's what he said. He said, "I have a couple of kids who are Democrats, big Bernie Sanders fans, and when I told them that this was going to happen, they had tears in their eyes." So this is something that Bernie wanted, you know, the lower pharma costs, but they could never get it done. And even RFK Jr. thought it would never happen in his lifetime.
So here's the fun part. Apparently Bernie Sanders is so on board with Trump's executive order, but he doesn't think that it will necessarily survive a court challenge. Now, who the hell is going to challenge it in court? I get that you shouldn't do everything with an executive order. I get it.
But is there really going to be a Democrat or group of Democrats who insist that we pay more for pharmaceutical stuff? Bernie thinks so because Bernie has said publicly now he goes further as Trump well knows his executive order will be thrown out by the courts.
Will it? It will only be thrown out if a Democrat takes it to the court. How in the world are they going to survive that politically if they take that to the court? But I suppose

Bernie probably knows his party better than I do. I guess I would reflexively disagree with anything Trump does. But here's the good news. He says if Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release—oh come on, it's an executive order, not a press release—he will support legislation I will soon be introducing to make sure we pay no more for prescription drugs tha…
