And recall that last month what happened was that there was a kind of strange seasonal adjustment problem and so there was a big reduction in employment for teachers and we knew that was gonna come back once school started up and that we'd have a strong number but this number skyrocketed so much more than we expected. To put it in perspective Bloomberg surveyed 77 economists and said what do you think the jobs number is gonna be and this blew past every single one of them. All 77 got the number wrong and by a lot. This number is four standard deviations above the average of their forecast. This is one of the best numbers relative to expectation that I've ever seen.

- Thank you, Mr. President. Um, this is, uh, this is an extraordinary day. This is an issue that, you know, I grew up in the Democratic Party, and every major Democratic leader for 20 years been making this promise to the American people. This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders' runs for presidency, that he was gonna eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. But as it turns out, none of them were doing it, it's one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they'll never have to do it. And the reason they'll never have to do it is 'cause they know that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry. There's at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, every senator in Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court. Some estimates, three. Pharmaceutical companies, the industry itself spends three times what's the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. So this was an issue that people talked about, nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. They knew you couldn't get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage. President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical industry, too. I think they gave you a hundred million dollars. But he can't be bought, unlike most of the politicians in this country. And he is standing here for the American people. I don't know, there's writers like Lord Elizabeth Warren, or Robert Reich, who are saying that President Trump is on this side of the olec arcs. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the olec arcs than President Donald Trump. And I'm very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage, or I'll say, because I don't want to be crude, your intestinal fortitude, your stiff spine, and your willingness to stand up for the American people. We have 4.2% of the world's population. We, our country represents 75% of the revenues for pharmaceutical companies. We spend, in our country, $1,126 per capita on drugs. In Britain, they spend about 240. They spend 1/5 of what we do. And this is true across Europe. And the drug companies, Europeans, if you ask them, it may no sense what they are saying. America has to pay for this innovation, or it's not gonna happen. President Trump is saying to our European partners, is you gotta raise the amount that you're paying for those drugs, and pay for your share of the innovation. Oh, that the United States is no longer subsidizing that. If the Europeans raise their, the price of their drugs, by just 20%, that is $10 trillion. That can be spent on innovation. And the health of all people all across the globe is gonna increase, because we're gonna have better products. So I am, I'm just so grateful to be here today. I never thought that this would happen in my lifetime. I have a couple of kids who are Democrats, are big Bernie Sanders fans. And when I told them that this was gonna happen, they had tears in their eyes. 'Cause they thought this is never gonna happen in our lifetime, and we finally have a president who's willing to stand up for the American people. Thank you, and Dr. Rupp.

This week, President Trump dominated the world stage. He stamped his influence on markets and economies everywhere. Investors have been whipsawed, politicians are scrambling, any statement from the White House provoked instant global reaction. Look, I've been doing this for 50 years and I can't remember a week quite like this one. On Monday, April the 7th, the Nasdaq fell 5.8%. That was a shock. It signaled that the long and glorious big tech rally had truly wound down. Wall Street was reacting to the President's tariffs. There was a growing sense of unease. When a fake report about a suspension of the tariffs appeared, the Dow went up 1000 points in minutes. Then immediately fell back when the report turned out to be false. That's a truly skittish market. Tuesday, no relief. The Nasdaq fell another 2%. Worried investors were badgering the Treasury Secretary. Corporate leaders were badgering Trump's Chief of Staff. Do something. The economy is going to tank. It was a panic environment which we had not seen in years. The bombshell arrived suddenly on Wednesday, April the 9th. Out of the blue, the President dropped all reciprocal tariffs on everyone except China. That was a stunning turnaround. Had Trump caved, blinked, retreated or was this just part of the negotiating process? The market zoomed. It was a history-making rally that took the Nasdaq up 12%. We'd never seen anything like that before. But it didn't satisfy the naysayers who opposed tariffs and truly detest Trump. There were constant warnings about recession. Interest rates were rising. China was showing no sign of buckling to pressure. It was a week that defined Trump's presidency. He is reversing America's direction. Trump does not accept massive trade deficits and job losses. That's what this week has been all about. Tax policy, Ukraine, Putin, Iran, Gaza all relegated to the back burner. Today, China upped the ante, imposing a 125% tariff on American goods. We tariffed them at 145%.
