hawks need to fight the battles but don't believe the new socks credits tell you that will be gossip and tabloid bias files of the most important news today. tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. thank you god thank you i'm going to make a good start. tonight what you aren't being told about the opioid crisis but first let me get the basic info out of the way and then we'll get to the center part because you know you better to get a little warm up connel time before you reveal the full frontal gold wart ridden

scarred up undercarriage of the situation you can live with that the whole day to night story has everything illicit drugs villain is billionaires whistleblowers dead bodies so i'm calling it all rocks throgs and rock n roll. and really since that also means drugs it says drugs drugs and rock n roll and also there's no rock n roll. and prescription meds like it have caused the overdose deaths of two hundred thousand people since one nine hundred ninety six when it was first put on the market by purdue pharma a branch of sackler pharmaceuticals that two hundred thousand doesn't even include the countless deaths from people who got hope on oxy and then oh deed on harder drugs like heroin the sackler family is worth fourteen billion dollars and they've plastered their name all over our institutions so between the cokes and the sackler

zzz there's hardly a museum university hospital or theater without their call over it. it's like a nation fell asleep at a frat party and woke up with just a drawing on our forehead. so here's the story in ninety nine he produced started work on a pill containing oxy kowtowed a chemical similar to morphine and was not perdue the chicken p. . people because that would be weird you know because guys for all your opium based are conic and chicken wing glitz so purdue pharma puts out oxy cold tone and although it was fifty percent stronger than morphine many doctors believe wrongly that it was substantially less powerful this was good for purdue because it made doctors last frightened to prescribe it so this was this is literally big pharma going doctors are confused about or do product and some people are dying.

what could fortune but that's not enough greed in order to increase the number of doctors prescribing it the company's rebranded 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 ants my cats are allergic to gluten and my dog's allergic to cats of course i'm never a kid. so to say i could 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 part. try math. not addictive at all. as the billions rolled in per do doubled their sales team and downplayed the risks one former sales rep says if we were direct. to lie greed took hold and over ruled 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 a 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 the 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

where the garbage bags picking up beer cans and old problems no doubt. their community service would probably given a speech to high school kids about how they do 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 in colombia 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 farm owned by the sackler. you jaclyn job yes. this is the classic snake oil salesman new for your players scam out until you're caught and then your head do a nude sad snap on a fake mustache and say my name is monday. 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 c.c. 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 who have guns that is. sure there are pharmaceuticals i'm not saying there aren't put but one guy's crack cocaine is another guy's oxy con or your marijuana is a suburban soccer moms ambien white wine cocktail 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 abiola five. zero one had ads painted a rock you've raised in the other had ads 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. always in the european union just three million people die of overdoses there while the e.u. average is seventeen per million three and a 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 imports your goal oh um 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 smoking pot used to be fun you'd 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 there multiple occasions trying to get them to change their behavior and they just flat out i don't want us. we ask them nicely. we told them 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 your. 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 needle in your back a gun to your head and three to five years behind bars and that no boy well one of those thick neck cob lift your head up wipe the boot print off their face and go where you please cut it out.

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 you're 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 of 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 continued 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 foresman 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. none of that and the taliban had actually banned o.b.o. just before we invaded in two thousand and one meaning we caused opium production to skyrocket in fact i'm heroin overdoses have quadrupled in the us so there's also that but i got gov every day i got going back i can't. help the daughter of her right.

but. it was suggested. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. do chemicals that the advertising really increased the risk of cancer and i chose a means unknown to use damage in the. skepticism. that this is true by independent scientists. industry. compensation for my time as well as you know others why is that me too happy.

to like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more. you'll get a definite look. only. this is big business against tells. to start a show. that owes stand in saved your life. your information service is about the four troops killed in this month many americans are crying out this is outrageous we're in africa congress vote to go to war with african countries what i was going on no i'm just kidding the world series was on so no one was asked to do that but we're going to talk about it here to inform us more is our war correspondent i only have on the.

radio i have no more of correspondent i'm the security enhancements correspondent and i have studied conflict zones from narnia to nam via from 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 on away or of our military presence in even senator lindsey graham who said he and expect warmongering senators to know all the places we have troops. it's way too much to keep track of they just sound wars don't ask them any details they don't know anything like home depot. i mean how could congress have known general won't houser game 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 not a code word is the city we have a drone base but to senators it's a mysterious code word. the problem is the media didn't tell us that we were at war in africa until our troops were basically being killed over there so i leave 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 to 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 tinging 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're in twenty four to fifty four countries do you know i mean if these numbers for certain yes i'm certain we're in twenty four to fifty four times three. what do you expect lee it's the fog of low intensity regular welfare. 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 big you said it was just as you said war i still don't know didn't know i know no i didn't i said. we were. which is swahili. for. hot fudge on terror yes it still is to you is one of the war games is the african people who all to merely suffer it is doing what do you want 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 conflict zone ok. the entire continent of africa is not a conflict zone 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 too late for you i don't think you should be in our country as long as you've been arrested for a crime are truth bomb that only we do know has 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 rehab and local chicken processing plants pulling 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. weight. 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 evil labor and if those laborers refuse the gut chickens or get injured then their 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 the classes on anger management and parenting weekly bible study is mandatory for the first four months so was church but the pampered. there 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 to 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 arm certified in oklahoma judges can recommend it as long as it's not used for drug treatment even though close is drug courts that repeatedly described the 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 splaying things well bums out for your honesty

told. works. sorry you just dismiss this as a giving error. global where the states come plus it 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 foods 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 facebook dot com slash care dot recovery and poured in from washington natalie mcgill redacted tonight. you know your headlines from the future of coming up on wednesday. trombone bill's
