tv Happening Now FOX News July 13, 2015 8:00am-9:01am PDT
8:00 am
is singing along. >> get a crabby patty. see you back here tomorrow. everybody "happening now" starts right now. >> take care. jenna: start with a fox news alert as the gop field gets even more crowded with wisconsin scott walker just announcing his white house bid in a campaign video. hope you're off to a great monday. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. now there are 15 major gop candidates running for president. governor walker will make a speech later today in wisconsin is considered in the top tier along with governor bush and senator marco rubio. in his announcement he played up his conservative credentials as he targets the republican base. >> i'm running for president to fight and win for the american people. not sacrificing our principles. we won three elections in four years in a blue state. did it by leading. now we need to do the same thing for america. jon: joining us now with some analysis, bret baier the anchor of "special report."
8:01 am
so the governor of wisconsin apparently intends to secure an overpowering mandate by traditional gop voters. how do they do that first of all and how does that set him aside from the rest of the field, bret. >> jon, he is running as a fighter. he is running in the video and everything he is saying and putting out as a guy who is a conservative governor in a blue state, who won but not two but three elections. remember the recall election after democrats tried to unseat him after his moves bense labor unions in wisconsin. he won and using that resume' to jump off and saying this is the leadership needed in nation. he is making an appeal specifically to iowa. he is leading in the polls in iowa currently but his critics will say he moved a little bit further to the right. and that he is trying to attract iowa specific base there to win there.
8:02 am
whether he can have a broader appeal is really the question. jon: he has made a lot of visits to iowa. apparently will make many, many more since he entered the race. he has childhood roots. living in iowa as young person. does that automatically put him in the front of the pack when it comes to iowa voters? >> we have to be careful because we're a long way away from the iowa caucuses in the early part of february. while he is in the front of the pack now, the pack is huge. it has never been this big and never been this big for the specific candidate that perhaps would be attractive to iowa social conservatives. you look at them. ted cruz, you have scott walker who is the son of a baptist preacher. you have mike huckabee, rick santorum ben carson. now you have the focus on donald trump. and all that he is saying and doing. is that social conservative specific? no. but he touch ad cord in people
8:03 am
who say politicians on both sides the aisle are not worth sending back to washington. so iowa is a jump ball at this point. apparently, well he had said he was going to wait until after the wisconsin budget was done before he announced his entry into the presidential race or his decision. the budget was supposed to be done in june. it was delayed from interparty squabbling which happens. how does it hurt him he is month or more later getting in the race than he originally intended? >> i don't think when he gets into this race is hurts him as much as that budget battle hurt him in wisconsin. in wisconsin, his approval ratings go down that is a dig against him on the campaign trail when someone says, look, this is how they look at you in wisconsin. that budget back and forth, there were liberals and conservative who is were upset with the governor in the final product there. i do think that, you know, he is
8:04 am
going to make this pitch that his time as governor in wisconsin is the reason why he is running and he is going to make a pitch that this is the kind of leadership that is needed. i think his speech will be interesting today. and you know we've seen some of it. we've seen him try to be authentic and identify with middle class america. whether he can broaden that we'll see. jon: without bashing too much his fellow competitors, he says it is easy to be a senator talk about what you would do as president whereas governors are out there fighting and actually accomplishing something. >> remember, we a have a lot of accomplished field in this overall. senator former governors, business people, it is a large group. yeah he is having some subtle digs in there. in fact he suggested that marco rubio might be his vice president, which, senator rubio obviously an issue with.
8:05 am
jon: didn't fly too well with the rubio campaign. it will be fascinating to out how all this shakes out. bret baier. >> thank you, jon. jenna: word of deal could come today or perhaps not as you know how these things have gone over the part of six months. six world powers drawing up 100-page document talking about a curb to nuclear activity and sanctions release but it has to be approved by congress. rich edson in vienna with more. rich. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry meeting with his iranian counterpart a short while ago for an hour-long meeting. then earlier today the negotiators from the five permanent members of the u.n. security council and germans an iranians, no meeting today. there was speculation yesterday as the associated press had been reporting reporting that we would get some
8:06 am
kind of a deal yesterday perhaps today. nothing ha been released. talks continue. we have a midnight deadline local time. that is 6:00 p.m. on the east coast back in the u.s. the handful of sticking points on this one first off, iranians would like the west, particularly the u.n. to lift an arms embargo. the west is also been perhaps bringing in sanctions related to the iran's ballistic missile program. as well as the timetable on sanctions. when would the west begin to lift sanctions, economic sanctions if they are to reach a deal that would curb iran's program? then, all these countries have to go back if they reach a deal to sell these domestically. that is particularly the case for united states and secretary of state john kerry and president obama who have a very skeptical congress particularly republicans who have been speaking out against this thing. just yesterday senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying essentially the u.s. should have
8:07 am
continued sanctions regime because sanctions were working instead of coming to the table so quickly. a number of other republicans saying the framework deal we got a short while ago represents something that isn't good for the united states. the congress can reject the deal. they will be able to review it with a supermajority in the house and senate. they can veto this thing. we do not have a deal. deadline is midnight tonight which is seven hours from now. jenna, jon. back to you. >> criticisms from democrats as well we'll get into later on in the program. rich edson live in vienna. we'll find out how word of this nuclear agreement is going over inside of iran. we'll talk live a few moments from now with "the new york times" tehran bureau chief. one of the very few western journalists working inside of iran. he will have invaluable perspective for us coming up on the program. jon: information on greece, reaching a deal to secure its third bailout.
8:08 am
the country coming to an agreement with european creditors. if implemented it should secure greece's place in the eurozone and avoid the country's collapse. amy kellogg is live in athens. amy? >> reporter: jon, the plan is to get legislation, to enact points. deal through the greek parliament by wednesday. then if that does happen the german bund desstag needs to note on the deal. clear many constituents of chancellor angela merkel's party are not particularly keen to fund a greek bailout. the theme of very contentious and at times very fragile meetings over the weekend was restoring trust. hens the demand to have greeks codify reforms and extremely controversial establishment of a special fund to help pay off greek debt which involves greece essentially handing over $55 billion worth of assets mostly as sort of collateral into this fund.
8:09 am
some greeks admit though that restoring confidence in greece was critical and could in itself provide a way out of this. >> if the banks reopen and tourist sector starts recovering, if shipping returns and so on and so for the of course there are a lot, a lot of problems. there is no doubt that greece is in a big hole. as you say in america the first step to get out of a hole is to stop digging. as of last week, greece stopped digging. >> reporter: jon, not everyone shares that view however. a lot of people are extremely feel extremely humiliated i should say and squeezed frightened frankly of more austerity cuts. banks are still not open. that probably won't happen before wednesday. while there is great positivity about this deal and optimism i should say there are a few ts
8:10 am
to be dot, crossed and is to be dotted and then should be sign and what is next for greece remains to many people, still to some extent on its knees jon. jon: many in that country don't like the terms of this deal. amy, thank you. jenna: hillary clinton speaking on the economy today making the middle class the focus of her presidential campaign. is it enough to satisfy the more liberal wing of her party? her critics will comment on that. the mexican drug lord, el shape poe tunneled out of a mexican jail. more on the elaborate plan. governor scott walker throwing his hat into the ring. will you vote for him? what do you think about that addition to the party. foxnews.com to join the conversation.
8:13 am
at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. jon: fox news is america's election headquarters with hillary clinton giving the first
8:14 am
major economic speech of her campaign in new york moments ago. former secretary of state said the key to growth in america is restoring the strength of the middle class by cracking down on employers who cheat workers and making the tax system for fairer for working families. >> we can't create enough jobs and new businesses without more growth, and we can't build strong families and support our consumer economy without more fairness. we need both. because while america is standing again we're not yet running the way we should. jon: clinton also talked about wall street saying many financial companies are too big and too complex. she took a few jabs at their republican opponents calling their economic policies outdated for the 21st send i interest. -- strene at this. jenna: there is still no strays of mexican drug leader juan guzman following his escape.
8:15 am
the drug leader got out through an elaborate mile long tunnel reached through the floor of his jail cell in an incredible escape. with more live, adam housley and where the tunnels with and how he got out. >> reporter: the manhunt is on. i got off the phone with a senior dea official state i'd. as you might everyone there is quote pissed i was told. having twice that "el chapo" guzman escaped twice. once in 2001. one on saturday evening. proves mexico is incapable of keeping him. he should have been brought here. now the u.s. may not get the chance. that came from senior dea official. back to juan guzman. the tunnel was used is quite impressive came from a home constructed amile away from the prison which is 60 miles outside of mexico city. it was 30 feet underground about four feet high. so it was pretty easy for him to make an escape through the tunnel t went all the way to his
8:16 am
prison cell to basically where the shower was located. what is interesting 9:00 on saturday evening for some reason they lost track of him on the camera security system at the prison. that is when they went looking. they found this 20-inch by 20-inch hole where the shower was located. guzman was last captured february 2014. one of the most wanted men in the world. his drug cartel one of the most brutal reaches all the way to australia, across the u.s. into europe by some accounts he was still running that. as you might imagine mexico is extremely upset about this. this is an embarassment to the government. yesterday, the president spoke, nieto, he said a number of things. listen to the first part. obviously in spanish the president says he is very concerned what happened, that the escape one of mexico and world's most wanted. undoubtedly an affront to the mexican government. he is confident that mexican institutions can recapture this
8:17 am
criminal. that is his quote. came from the president as "el chapo" is on the run. i've been talking to u.s. authorities and mexican authorities black hawk helicopters are still up. they have as you might imagine a significant police presence. one. problems they will have recapturing him, this man is extremely corrupt, obviously. worth more than a billion dollars according to "forbes" of the he has a very strong network throughout mexico. pays people off. uses brutality as well. the problem a lost mexican officials say they will have even in mexico the law enforcement is very fragmented, whether federal authorities or local authorities. some are very honest and work hard and follow the rules. others are completely corrupt. that will make this capture almost impossible according to some american officials. they don't know if it will ever happen. jenna: adam, thank you. jon: an infant is missing. there is a manhunt for the baby's father who police say is armed and dangerous. plus the republican
8:18 am
8:21 am
jenna: right now some new information on a few crime stories we're keeping an eye on here on "happening now." police in california are searching for the father after missing six-month-old girl who vanished over the weekend. 23-year-old matthew gram. he is now considered armed and dangerous. french police rescuing 18 people held by gunman inside of a clothing store in paris. officers believe it began as a robbery. employees were already inside the store. suspects fled before police arrived. they're apparently still on the loose. sister of a missing mother
8:22 am
gone for a week believes her boy friend knows something about her disappearance. he denies any wrongdoing. crystal rogers police found her car on a remote stretch of highway with her purse and cell phone still on the inside. jon: wisconsin governor scott walker formally enters the 2016 presidential race. his campaign releasing this video this morning. governor walker will be making a speech later today in wisconsin. he becomes the 15th republican candidate and likely not the last. let's talk about it with our media panel. alan colmes host of "the alan colmes show," nationally syndicated by fox news radio. tammy bruce, radio talk show host and fox news contributor as well. talking about it earlier with bret baier, this is a guy who everybody thought was going to run. he has been laying groundwork for a campaign for a long time. he is officially in the race and apparently in the top tier despite unfavorable headlines from the media, tammy. >> we have to expect with
8:23 am
republicans constantly unfavorable headlines from the media. i know. exactly. but this is, this is the good challenge, you've got to be able to overcome the american media if you think you can run the free world. i don't feel sorry for them. i think it makes them better candidates and ultimately better officeholders they know how to govern. at the same time of course, scott walker, you're going to see even more negative headlines because one of favorite things is the fact that he does not have a college degree. he left with about six months to go to work for the red cross. i think considering the condition of the world alan, what the elite has managed to do to the wonderful planet, to the human condition, time we have a real working man in the white house. that is why i like scott walker. jon: does he scare liberals and democrats alan? >> no. i hope he gives gets the nomination. he wouldn't answer when he believes in evolution. or whether obama is christian. jon: do those things matter to average voter? >> that is why bernie sanders is
8:24 am
resonating. you're not doing rope-a-dope on questions. those things are indicators of where, also, busted unions. did away with collective bargaining. good for you. compared dealing with unions with dealing with isis. tried to do away with transparency in wisconsin. he is a big conservative hero for these reasons but terms of the general population he is not the direction america is going. jon: he won three statewide elections in six years in a state traditionally friendly and blue state. >> look the people of wisconsin they love him. i think that the attempt at the recall was a major backfire. the left put all they could into that recall, trying to destroy that career and that is what i think showed the american people that you can do these things. you can do them well and do them in a blue state. you can beat back any attacks from the left and you can win. because he manages to explain these things without being a bully without being bombastic and fact is, i want people to, i can't wait for hillary to be
8:25 am
asked if she believes in evolution if she is -- >> i think she does. >> if she believes men can be ma moving must and faithful in a marriage. i want to hear -- >> replay the golden oldies of 1990s. that will be great. >> it is about issues of character. >> what does scott walker stand for. he is against unions. >> he is not against unions. he for more free choice. he made it so that the unions didn't automatically go into being a union member that you had a choice. >> he is against collective bargaining. >> everybody opted out. everybody opted out. >> he is unpopular in madison. get a lot of calls from listeners in madison with radio. >> that is a miracle. >> he may resonate with the far right. >> he resonates with the blue state of wisconsin. they keep electing him. >> "national journal," acting as conservative now but he will be more after moderate eventually. so what does he really believe? when his own advisor says well
8:26 am
only acting like a conservative now. he will be a moderate. >> she that is where the media comes in. how are these things set up trying to create an environment of how you're supposed to view scott walker before you hear him say in the debates. that is the real key. jon: while we're talking about scott walker, he jumps apparently into the top tier of candidates and one of the more recent entries into the race is also in the top tier in some polls, donald trump is leading the republican field. tammy does that surprise you? >> no. because of name recognition. because he is entertaining. people know him from television. i'm sure donald trump is the first real choice for alan when it comes to the gop nominee. i was very critical of him at first. the fact he held his ground, that he is taken so much of attacks. he is learning what we have been dealing with on the right for quite some time. i think that it is going to be very interesting. i don't know how he will do in the debates.
8:27 am
remember michele bachmann was at top of the polls for a period of time before election and things change when people hear more from you. i think bringing up issues more important. even jeb busch publicly is now against sanctuary cities. he had never really spoken about that. >> you all of a sudden. >> that is a good thing. jon: some of what he saying alan, is resonating. >> the word the i agree with some of the words. you have a space of republican party a far right-wing nativist space, tom tancredo said to trump tone it down. when tancredo says tone it down on immigration you know he has a problem he is appealing to strong nativist base. >> everybody is used to talking points. everybody expects certain thing done you don't take any specific positions on anything. donald trump is shaking that up. i think republican party should look carefully why -- not because of nativist. people are tired of being lied
8:28 am
to and -- >> lied to? he wasn't accurate in his statement about immigration. what he is say something not true. his own advisor -- >> you're very nervous about donald trump. >> i'm not nervous at all. look how excited you are.u >> he excites me. >> my gosh. >> michael cohn on cnn said some may be potentially true. if that is the defense your spokesperson can -- >> if donald trump is big nut an big loser you seem to put a lot of energy. >> not me. jon: he does ad tract media attention obviously. >> yes. jon: alcan combs, tammy bruce, thank you. jenna: iran deal could be announced today. we'll talk about particulars with one of the few western reporters working inside of iran. that is next. a man and his wife and two young children found buried in california desert. the trial of the man accused murdering them was just postponed and what it means for the case against him.
8:32 am
jon: quick look now at what's still to come this "happening now." a trial for a man charged with murdering an entire california family was just postponed. why the last of a specific date of death is now a source of argument in the courtroom. a woman is thrown from her beach chair as a mysterious explosion blasts her right off of the sand. details on her condition and what caused all of this. there is an alarming increase in number of children
8:33 am
and adolescents receiving an-pyschotic drugs. we'll tell you why and whether these powerful drugs are really safe. jenna: back to one of our big stories today, the iran nuclear showdown as we await a televised address from the president of iran in just a few hours. amid reports that the six world powers are putting finishing touches on a long-term deal to curb iran's nuclear program. let's talk about some of the news happening inside of iran. we have the tehran bureau chief of "the new york times." we appreciate having you back on the show, tom. in light of the president speaking, the president of iran speaking two hours from now what is the state media reporting inside of iran? >> well of course state media is frantically reporting all those talks which are actually taking place in vienna, austria where secretary of state john kerry has, is continueing in marathon,
8:34 am
record-breaking 6-day talks with iranians to try to find a compromise over the nuclear program and for the iranians to try to get sanctions against their country lifted. iran's media has been reporting up to the minute what is exactly happening over there in vienna but of course they're doing it through their own world view. so they are only reporting on the demands the iranians are making. they're complaining about the american demands. only just now iran's judiciary actually, this is separate from the nuclear negotiations, demanded that america pay $50 billion in compensation for previous crimes against iran. yeah the state here is still rather busy with the talks and anything u.s.-related. jenna: what is the sense on the streets? what is the perception from the public about these talks? >> well you can always say that people have gotten tired of this constant flow of deadlines that are actually not being met.
8:35 am
i just mentioned these talks have been going on for 16 days now. almost every day some country is announcing a breakthrough in the negotiations and then it is not happening. so of course normal ordinary people they want this deal to happen. they want to move on with their lives. they're middle class citizens like you find in the united states or in europe. but of course there is a small group of hard-liners who are strongly opposed to any form of agreement with the united states and they are like people in the u.s. very interested in seeing what the details of a nuclear compromise might job what do you expect the president to say at 1:30? why do you think he is choosing now to speak? >> i think the president actually will not be speaking because after the announcement that he would be speaking in two hours, a new announcement came he would speak only if there is a deal and that is what we're hearing from vienna is not the case right now. there will be a meeting of all
8:36 am
parties involved in four hours from now. and yeah, nobody knows how long that meeting will last and it is unclear if president rouhani will speak in the middle of the night here. jenna: that will be interesting to see if he continues to hold that time or perhaps doesn't at this moment. thomas, i want to talk to you about another big story that happened today that you were covering as well the imprisonment after american journalist a friend of yours, in iran. we have news on that today. what is the latest on adjacent son? >> adjacent son rezaian "washington post," been here nearly 365 days a full year. had third court appearance we assume because the court was closed and not even his wife and his mother were came in from turkey where she lives she is an american national, came to court. afterward jason's mother said she was very sad she wasn't able to see her son who is not in a
8:37 am
good state. she said, especially her son as reporter who wants to be out to report on the news of the talks instead of being in prison. jenna: just quickly thomas, should we read anything into the timing of it? the fact surprisingly another stage of the trial of jason today on a day when we're waiting to hear about a nuclear deal and whether or not americans imprisoned in iran are part of that deal? >> it is hard to proof, jenna. it is iran's hard-liners that control the judiciary and control jason rezaian's court case. today which is supposed to be the day of the deal they would try to show they are also still around and have some cards in this frame. jenna: that is interesting. wee won't read into much into the timing until we have facts. i don't want to forget americans in prison in iran. thomas we appreciate your reporting very much. >> thank you. jon: some new information now as the trial for the man accused of
8:38 am
killing a california couple and their two children is postponed. charles merit is the accused of former business associate of the father. he is charged with murdering the entire mcstay family. prosecutors say he beat them to death with a sledgehammer. the family disappeared in february of 2010 but their remains were not found until 2013. now this trial is postponed after merritt's attorney says he is filing a motion challenging the prosecution to name the date the family died because without that date, his client, merritt, can not provide a proper alibi. joining us now to discuss trial attorney header hanson and criminal defense attorney janna spill bore. heather, have you heard of that give me a date so my client can have an alibi. >> this is argument that can be made. one to set ground for appeal
8:39 am
later on. two to buy time the attorney came in late. prior to that the defendant was representing himself. there is plenty of cases with dough known know the date person died, yet the case go forward. if you're the defendant that lends itself to reasonable doubt. no the enough stop the case and maybe appealable issue. jon: when this happened. police were mystified there was food on the table. the family vanished into thin air. prosecutors say on or about february 4th. i believe that is the actual language, on or about february 4th of 2010, they were murdered. close enough. >> absolutely close enough. all of the complaints that come across my desk allege on or about. this defendant is trying to win this case quote on technicality. you don't actually ever win murder cases on technicalities. what he is trying to say, look the complaint it sell is insufficient because i want to present an alibi defense. if you say the murder happened
8:40 am
over a three-day span i can't properly do that. well you know what? that is actually an issue for the jury. that is not something that the judge should decide ahead of time. i'm sure this judge will rule exactly that way when he hears the motion. jon: there is awful lot of circumstantial evidence. these two were business associates. charles merritt apparently had worked for or with mr. mcstay. then on the day after the family disappeared, february 5th, a bunch of checks mysteriously get written on the computer account that mcstay maintained, checks almost $22,000 worth, written to charles merritt. >> not the smartest thing, right, jon? there is a lot of motive here. there is a ton of circumstantial evidence. if you're representing the defendant we don't know the date of death. we don't know whether or not my client was even in town that day. you will use this to your benefit. this is part of pretrial wrangling that goes on in almost
8:41 am
every case. there are motions filed. it is an attempt to delay the case so they have more time to prepare. perhaps prepare something in chance that they lose they have some reason to appeal this case further. jon: apparently prosecutors didn't have much to go on or at least were not willing to put their cards out there until after the bodies were found. the case said they looked into a lot of other suspects but might still believe other people are somehow involved. it is pretty tough for one individual to make four people absolutely flat-out disappear. >> that might be a hurdle for the prosecution, but also an opportunity for the defense because if they're trying to claim look, my client wasn't even in town when these people were murdered, maybe he was working in cahoots with you know a goon who actually did the heavy lifting here? or maybe the defense will be able to point to a third party to say it wasn't us. it was x y or z. that could work either way. it could work against the defense. it could work for the defense, depending how they position at the trial. jon: you're looking at some of
8:42 am
the video where the family were found in a shallow grave out in the desert. two little boys and their parents. it is a very sad story. we'll stay on top of this. let our viewers know what the judge decides about this trial and whether it is going to go forward. heather, jonna, thank you both. jenna: jon, a biz sard and mysterious story. a blast sending a woman flying out of her beach chair in rhode island. what are investigators learning about the explosion and how the woman is doing today. you don't want to miss this. with more and more young people prescribed antipsychotic drugs could the powerful drugs be doing them more harm than good?
8:44 am
i was diagnosed with lung cancer. as a firefighter approaching a fire i had to confine it, contain it and attack it. and i went to cancer treatment centers of america. we were able to do thorascopic surgery where we could use tiny incisions. we put a camera inside the chest and tony was able to go home three days after surgery. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. our individualized care model gives each lung patient specific treatment options with innovative procedures that are changing the way we fight lung cancer. we have targeted therapies looking for a specific molecular target and then matching the patient to that treatment. to learn more about precision cancer treatment, advanced procedures and the experienced physicians who deliver them go to cancercenter.com lung cancer is a very deadly disease. we can make the most impact when it's in its earlier stages.
8:45 am
call or go to cancercenter.com. cancer treatment centers of america. care that never quits. appointments available now. jon: let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. sandra, harris what do you have? >> happy monday, jon. after years of tough negotiations and three recently blown deadlines it look es like world powers are close to a historic deal on iran's nuclear program. but, next question can the white house sell i% to congress?
8:46 am
>> wisconsin governor scott walker jumping into the already crowded republican presidential field. how his entrance could shake things up. >> and the battle of the sexes in the work place. the surprising way some men respond when they have one of us as their boss. >> we'll discuss. all that plus our #oneluckyguy on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. jon: looking forward to it. see you thin. >> thanks. jenna: a new study suggesting there is a surge in the amount of anti-pyschotic drugs prescribed to teens and young adults. they help alleviate symptoms in some disorders but evidence on their safety and effectiveness are mixed. particularly this is worth noting. doctors are using the drugs to treat adhd a condition for which those drugs are not approved. joining us an educational psychologist of graduate studies at lincoln university. dr. chuck i know you're critical of this and we'll go through some of the reasons for that but i'm curious what is the thinking in the medical
8:47 am
profession why this would be a good idea to prescribe any anti-pyschotic drugs to someone say, age 12. >> jenna, you took the words right out of my mouth. you know how i feel about this we should not prescribe medications to children unless we absolutely have to. what is key to this study which was conducted in 2010 is that we have nearly seven million children, jenna in this country who are being prescribed anti-pyschotic medication for disorders like add guess what? anti-pyschotics were not designed to treat attention deficit disorder but what may be happening, if a drug somehow designed for ad like adderal or ritalin doesn't work, a health professional may decide to try something else to see if it benefits the young children. seven million children taking anti-pyschotic drugs is a problem. jenna: this study looked at data going back to 2010.
8:48 am
they looked at prescription records from 2006, 2008 and 2010. what is the risk of giving a drug like anti-pyschotic drug, any anti-pyschotic drug to a still developing body and brain? >> if you talk about very young children, and guess what, there are very young children, millions of whom who are taking these drugs, being prescribed these drugs, and i hope mothers and fathers are watching they learn to say no to anti-pyschotic drugs for their kids. the brain is still developing. cohort overusing psychotic medications for add were adolescents. biological maturation are happening. neural connections are being made self-help and identity. these are significantly disrupted when you introduce psychotropic medications. not only do they affect mood but they change the physical structures of the brain. that is not a good thing. jenna: i want to talk to you
8:49 am
about this one of the things the study showed and again the data looked at ended in 2010. they're looking at new data over the last several years. that is how they got to the conclusions, saw boys getting anti-pyschotic medications more than girls. when you're on a medication like this, dr. chuck, you can't just stop cold turkey can you? you have to go through a process of withdrawing from the drug. the reason i mentioned that we heard of many cases where there have been adolescents or young men gone violent. some suggest they recently went off their medication. is that part of this conversation that we should be having? >> yeah. that is the problem i have personally with big pharma and these large pharmaceutical companies and these physicians who unethically collude to prescribe these medications for disorders like add when we can use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. mindfulness meditation. i talk about diet and exercise. see the problem is, again, these
