opium based or conduct and chicken wing glitz soap or do farm puts out oxy cold tone and although it was fifty percent stronger than morphine many doctors believe that wrongly that it was substantially less powerful this was good for purdue because it made doctors less frightened to prescribe it so this was this is literally big pharma going doctors are confused about our new product and some people are dying. what good fortune but that's not enough greed in order to increase the number of doctors prescribing it the company has recently ended pain really as a sacred right or universal narcotic in title meant available not only to the terminally ill but to every american and sure some people have debilitating pain and need help i get that but when you have ads that just say do you feel pain the entire row barracking population goes yeah. i hate my job

husbands ass looks like an aircraft carrier but my kids are any and my cats allergic to gluten and my dog's allergic to cats of course i'm never. sold a second of marketing idea was brilliant you take a problem a lot of people have and prescribe a medication which is ighly addictive so that they won't stop ever taking it this is like someone going feeling a bit depressed or anxious or or slightly parks to. try math. not effective at all. as the billions rolled in per do doubled their sales team and downplayed the risks one former sales rep says we were directed to lie greed took hold and overruled everything. they provided legalized bribes and kickbacks for

every level of the ditch distribution chain wholesalers got rebates farmers just got refunds patients got coupons academics god grants medical journals got millions in advertising congress got donations from perdue and the sackler family it was it orgy for the ruling elite alright for the rich and powerful this was kind of like their version of when livin la vida loca first came out they were dancing around jumping on tables just dry humping. in the first five years the number of prescription shot up and the number of bodies started to pile up eventually purdue was prosecuted in two thousand and seven they pleaded guilty to felony charges for criminally misbranding their medication in court the company said that he was well aware of the incorrect view were held by many physicians that oxy code alone was

weaker than morphine and did not want to do anything to make physicians think that it was stronger or equal to morphine they paid some big fines and some executives did community service but still no one went to prison and obviously once community service for a millionaire c.e.o. i can guarantee they didn't have them on the side of the ninety five north off ramp with a garbage bag picking up beer cans and old problems no doubt. their community service would probably given a speech to high school kids about how they can be greedy. and as you know this crisis hasn't stopped here or in other countries the company monday pharmacist is employing a suite of familiar tactics in countries like mexico brazil and china to stoke concern for silent epidemics of untreated pain it could. lumpia the company started

to late in a press release suggesting that forty seven percent of the population suffered from chronic pain and who is monday pharma owned by the sackler. you jaclyn job this. this is the classic snake oil salesman maneuver you play your scam out until you're caught and then your head do a nude fat snap on a fake mustache and say my name is monday you form. but it's not. it's not just purdue and the sackler who caused this crisis there are lawsuits in many states right now against the distributors who knowingly passed out opioids like like they were putting cops at a nursing home you know targeting poor and struggling communities so why wasn't the federal government on top of this well sixty minutes talked to former d.a. administrator and whistleblower joe rana's e.c.

and he said some important stuff while they walk down the middle of the street first resist. plans do this interview meet me in the center of east capitol story will act like that's normal place for two guys in thousand dollars suits to make dramatic and most sense. any way i read it sees he did indeed reveal some awful truth about the pharmaceutical industry these were kids slinging crack on the corner these were professionals who were doing it. they were just drug dealers in lab coats that's true at all pharmacists are there drug dealers in lab yes. sure there are pharmaceuticals i'm not saying there aren't put but one guy's crack cocaine is another guy's oxy cotton or your marijuana is a suburban soccer moms ambien white wine. she calls mommy's happy juice there's no

real difference if it's just that one has been vilified for decades and the other has been all below five. zero one had ads and it all rocked your brain and the other had add say i'm suffering from brain rot try this pill. that's the difference the war on drugs is all monumental lie it was designed to lock people up and destroy communities they are the only reason that cannabis isn't legal everywhere is because the drug companies worry they can't control and profit off of such an effective medical ingredient if you think. you can grow it in your garden then you're not buying it from their drug dealers some go say same goes through for fossil fuel tax on just of jack they haven't found a way to own the song yet but they're working on it even the washington post had to admit recently that states that decriminalized marijuana ended up with far fewer

people turning to the prescription drugs that actually could kill you and when you consider could kill you verses could sometimes make you late for things. i would choose the marijuana. although i guess death is a form of making you late for things very late and guess what portugal legalised all drugs and now drug related deaths or the second lowest in the european union just three million people die of overdoses there while the e.u. average is seventeen per million three hundred million compare that to west virginia which has forty one per hundred thousand which means four hundred ten per million four hundred ten compared to three in portugal oh my. maybe let's try

what they're doing shall we give it a go. not to mention the number of people even doing illegal drugs in portugal goes down every year since they legalized them which you know makes sense because abusing drugs is only fun if they're illegal really. used to be fun you know hide behind a van somewhere with a guy you never mad before you have small talk about his neck tattoo now in a lot of states you just stand in front of danny's with your mom. so let's get back to the sixty minutes report why couldn't the da stop the distributor's here's forty year da veteran jim geldof these companies are a big reason for this epidemic absolutely are. and i can tell you one hundred percent accuracy that we were in there on multiple occasions trying to get them to change your behavior and they just flat out ignored us oh ok oh they were dry you.

just imagine if that same satins were said by the police concerning crack dealers we were in our multiple occasions trying to get them to change their behavior and they just flat out i don't want us. we ask them nicely you. know we told you the only good boys in there is good pot sickos not that. huge trying trying. to change the behavior of a sociopathic organization while not actually doing anything why does that sound familiar i went to wall street in december of two thousand and seven before the big crash that we had and i basically said cut it out we're crazy on the prize that didn't work. if you are a criminal banker or a criminal opioid distributor you get what you guys please cardioid what if you're

an eighteen year old selling molly on the corner you'll have a cops a new you in your back a gun to your head and three to five years behind bars and that no boy will one of those take not cobb lift your head up wipe the boot print off your face and go where you please caught it. and. as is their purview of congress found a way to make things worse in march of two thousand and sixteen congress unanimously passed a drug industry bill and president obama and obama signed it making it nearly impossible for the d.n.a. to do their work why are these people sponsoring bills. when people in their backyards are dying from drugs that are coming from the same people that these bills are protecting why do you think that is because i think that the drug

industry the manufacturers wholesales distributors and change rogue stores have an influence over congress and the implication of what you're saying that these big companies knew. that they were pumping drugs into american communities that were killing people that's an implication that's a fact. here's my impersonator bill whitaker your telling me. the easter bunny. does not actually deliver a colorful eggs around the entire country in a single morning. look i'm glad some of the corporate media are finally covering the profit driven opioid epidemic but where have they been for the past fifteen years they could've done some math and and realized people were dying and congress wasn't doing

a goddamn thing the elders tacklers who started and ran their drug company died like a decade ago in their ninety's where was the media during their whole lives hold on you're telling me that big pharma has influence over the corporate media. i don't follow. this is the standard operating procedure of unbridled capitalism it doesn't matter people are dying as long as the money caves just rolling in in the 1980's they are pharmaceuticals sold a blood clotting medicine infected with hiv causing twenty thousand people to contract the virus the company stop selling the drug in the us in nineteen eighty-four but continue to sell it overseas for an additional year f.d.a. regulators helped to keep the continued sales hit in the corporations have

captured the regulatory agencies the forstmann agencies and or law makers so while the media suddenly woke up today opioid epidemic a year ago they don't mention that it's because we live in a corporate oligarchy completely detached from what is humane ethical or sustainable you could superduper the sakhalin into the ground in this system and it would still continue also as temperatures is ninety percent of the illicit opium in the world and the us uses a cheaper. so that and the taliban had actually banned opium just before we invaded in two thousand and one meaning we caused opium production to skyrocket and since that time there were no overdoses have quadrupled in the us so there's also that but i can't cover every day i'm going to back i had. to go to a place right. i

played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and saw. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. spend spend be true to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game but great so will. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into paid these are

the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see day wages decline almost a decade how good are the results when you joined he's welcome by the people of english to watch people to see what i. knew she was i mean. if i let it go. sally must. please it's just something that i'm getting. why i have the same mission still in place to one of the consequences is to weaken labor. i will first with us is this the truth they consider this is the consequences are actually quite acceptable as

a decision. more information services about the four troops killed in new jersey this month many americans are crying out this is outrageous we're in africa did congress vote to go

to war with african countries what our guy got no i'm just kidding the world series was on so no one was asking about but we're going to talk about it here to inform us more is our war correspondent only go by. the way i am no war correspondent i'm the security enhancement correspondent and now i have studied conflict zones from narnia to nam via from on the balkans to the. bathroom line at mackie's pub. that's where i got the scar i was wondering about that so so so why was everyone unaware of our military presence in even senator lindsey graham said and expect warmongering senators to know all the places we have troops. it's way too much to keep track of they just said oh rumors don't ask them any details they don't know anything it's like home depot. i mean

how could congress have known gen walt hauser gave a top secret press briefing on africa which only aired on c.-span. nigerians are have been good partners we are not building a base there we are it's common knowledge it's in the media that we are good is ok a common knowledge he's just throwing around code words like agadez that's a code word as the city we have a drone base but to senators it's a mysterious code word. the problem is the media didn't tell laws that we were at war in africa until our troops were basically being killed over there it's only it's not war according to the pentagon it's low intensity irregular warfare the only different thing see the special operations

mission in africa started in two thousand and seven mainly for joint training with local troops to combat terrorism and now under africa american troops are combat terrorism but it's not a war not a war wars have endings. and now they're building military and drone bases military bases and drone bases do you kiss your mother with that mouth. they're called forward operating. the bridge we have to and we have eleven to thirteen cooperate of security locations and thirty three to forty one king tinge and see locations in twenty four to fifty four countries in africa we only have one military base and djibouti of course the. kind of stuff that's really big we were in twenty four to fifty four countries do you know i mean if these numbers for certain yes i'm certain were in twenty four to fifty four hundred three. what do

you expect glee it's the fog of low intensity irregular warfare. which is a terrible movie title but probably great for netflix will produce anything now. i know you're worried that further militarizing corrupt governments in africa could create more distrust of americans and more terrorists just like this same strategy created in libya but that's just how the war on terror rolls because you said it is just as you said war i still don't know didn't know. i didn't know i said. we were. which is swahili. for. hot fudge on terror yes it still is to you is one of war games is the african people who all to merely suffer it is doing what do you want us to do lee develop economic relationships there like china we didn't go to africa

to make friends we already have friends in europe in name gree the africa is a complex sound ok. you tire of continent of africa is not a conflict so yes it is more combative terrorism and clashing with the chinese who are forming friendships with africans we need supposed to be a conflict zone. when are we there for terrorists or competition with the chinese that's another area of conflict in africa the conflict between our stated reason for being there and our actual reason the other god everyone. will be you the way to wait for you thank you to fill in our country as long as you've been arrested for a crime are truth bomb that only would kill her as more. i

just got tickets to see one of my favorite musicals oklahoma. so like kevin durant's this musical is as close as i'm willing to get to oklahoma because the second highest incarceration rate in the nation either. of our black asses is trying to take a field trip there any time soon. but oklahoma does realize their prison population rivals the size of the state universities and that low level drug offenders in particular need drug treatment not a prison jumpsuit that's why oklahoma's definition of drug treatment has expanded in recent years to include work in rehab and local chicken processing plants pulling the guts and stray feathers from slaughtered chickens destined for major fast food restaurants and grocery stores major corporations like k.f.c. walmart even popeye's rely on the chicken these workers are forced to mangle without a. wait. on top of being covered in poultry blood they have to do

it for free. maybe they should change the opening song in the musical. oklahoma where drug charge means you'll be a slave. yet that sounds more accurate especially since all of the profits that would go toward paying their labor actually go toward christian alcoholics and addicts and recovery or care and uncertified drug treatment facility that partners with chicken companies like simmons foods and crystal lake farms to provide these companies will for equal labor and if those laborers refuse the gut chickens or get injured then there are only other option is prison so where does the treatment or even the christian part of this come in investigation from reveal found if there's time

between work shifts they can meet with a counselor or attend classes on anger management and parenting weekly bible study is mandatory for the first four months so once church but the pair up. care has been huge in seven years the program brought in more than eleven million dollars in revenue but it was hard to tell they earned anything at all after watching this video from care itself. consider supporting us financially as we continue to reach out to the next struggling alcoholic or addict. you may go live in million dollars and you have the nerve to ask for more money how do you see dale earnhardt jr starting a go fund me page to fight a speeding ticket. even though care is uncertified in oklahoma judges can recommend it as long as it's not used for drug treatment even though towse is drug courts

that were paid at least described care as treatment in court records yet when questioned about it a total court administrator dismissed that as a record keeping error. oh oh it was just a record keeping error bad it's plain bangs well bums up for your honesty told. looks. sorry you just dismiss this as a giving error. global where the states come pleasant in your pain. this is the pressing. but there is some good news corner workers under care recently filed a lawsuit against the organization and simmons goods for violating labor laws and the a.c.l.u. in both oklahoma and arkansas are investigating their practices but if you would like to express your opinion to care you're more than welcome to find them at
