1:04 pm
a day apparently the cause is opioids but luckily someone actually is standing up to try to punish the drug dealers behind these murders bernie sanders has put forward a bill that would send opioid exacts to jail the bill would threaten big pharma executives with that least ten years in prison should their companies be found guilty of contributing. right. if you only have market marketing practices and it's about time we lock those mothers. watch what locking them up would send a message to all the other criminals out there i like you know bank robbers nacro feel. the peace deal files out then they would send a message that crime does not pay basically you lock up really just like one big pharma c.e.o. there will be less animal rape. that's what i'm saying and i think there's
1:05 pm
a billboard saying that jill really. but honestly this just in we have to go to right greg much as i am coming your way and you can of coming back to take it to something else pastor exacted toward the icon for taking the time i will do yours however i cannot conquer. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for and patient let it be an arms race. scary dramatic to follow only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
1:06 pm
los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. a simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man found his own response to the problem and construct dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle to the authorities except such to lucian tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution. someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. was
1:07 pm
. there is a patient advocacy group for just about every element these days the american diabetes association the lupus foundation of america the american a hangnail if those ca sent a proud member but there are some serious questions about how these politically influential groups get their funding for more on this we go to our senior patient advocate now in a good. place for korea the one really really what i do in that whole name drop you just conveniently leave out my all women constipation awareness group. i had no idea sorry up we needed the press the only thing slower than our cash flow was our bowels. unlike other patient advocacy groups like the american diabetes association that got. two point nine million dollars from eli lilly and i literally
1:08 pm
is a multi-billion dollar pharma company that makes insulin terror. that's is i think a lawyer sean hannity's sole third ok that's impossible since he never had one but it makes sense they'd get money from the companies making the drugs keeping them alive even when we is just one of fourteen companies that gave patient groups one hundred sixteen million dollars in twenty fifteen alone plus if it's unethical than congress would have included them years ago in the physician payment sunshine act a law that required payments to physicians from drug makers and devices to be registered on the public website but patient groups were not addressed in the bill so this is more like an act of charity like voluntary get a soup kitchen or catherine zeta jones having such discussions about it that. she's doing the lord's work. the lord enough there.
1:09 pm
is this or that they're glued to the view because these aggrieved will spend time pushing their drugs right rather than advocate for lower priced drugs or the benefits of generic drugs generic version of anything is never better. ask anyone who has been the times square. those guys get candy i kept saying hello nobody thought i was yelling elmo. but telling us pharma cash these groups couldn't be as vocal now they testify on capitol hill about new meds they start letter writing campaigns they start social media campaign like one big pharma lobbyists do that's what they do and how is what these groups do any different from lobbyists well it differs in that pharma companies don't have to report money they give the patient groups the way they do with lobbying expenses with. maybe why the fourteen companies that gave one hundred sixteen million
1:10 pm
dollars the patient groups reported only sixty three million in lobbying activities . how convenient for a major corporation to find a loophole that gets them more money you know they think they can flood these praising groups with cash but it won't change the fact that they care more about profit than the people the american diabetes association may have millions from eli lilly but they've repeatedly raised prices on its best selling insulins when the medicines have been out for you know they've been around for decades a patient group has no incentive to call out u.i. lilly or any pharma company when their cash flow is the life blood of the all right i know but either we take their cash or the obstructionist does continue our bake sales of laxative treats like diarrhea i was in lax cooking the. back. i've even brought you some. yes.
1:11 pm
but no one is buying me it's all right hey you'd be surprised how well lax cookies sell at high school across games when you lie about the ingredients. we get paid and increase their odds of being on sports center. just this not in a way they intended. i know you've got more to talk about but i got to go see that yes that. was even though i same rachel maddow are in the show by forcing you to watch or speak we are not done with them as n.b.c. they're becoming more and more right wing every single day for more on this let's go to redacted correspondent i only care bonnie. and the. n.b.c.
1:12 pm
the self-proclaimed liberal channel is moving to the rest know hosts are not wielding tiki torches and getting confederate flag tattoos it's worse than that work continues to hire a gaggle of conservative and republican talent simply because they're anti trump good not one leftists progressive commentator as they say opinions are like ass so m.s.m. b.c. is licking the g.o.p.'s opinion while figuring the democratic establishment opinion and the real left is relegated to watching from outside the window like a bunch of perverts according to fair founder and former m s n b c producer jeff cohen m.s.m. b.c. experts saviors those people that are going to save us from trauma are war hawks spies dishonest people who progressive's have traditionally attacked no it's not what you think of as g.o.p. wasn't trying to stifle progressive criticism of war they just had to protect their
1:13 pm
employees from the gross of harassment progressive's have been known to ask questions and these new republican hires are very sensitive and fragile people just look at the suffering former bush adviser notably wallace had to endure when trump was elected so my republican friends want to know how i've come to terms with this so easily but as you've told america i've been in therapy for ten months only called we've got enough noon time glasses of wine with you to know exactly how. that was between you me and the weapons contractors we branch with rachel maddow helped the news networks or to the top spot serving her nightly dish of connect the box russia gate hysteria hit the channels prime time liberal stars have failed to address the west virginia teachers strike a massive grassroots mobilization of labor and appear to think. a catastrophic u.s.
1:14 pm
backed war in yemen the largest humanitarian crisis in the world is no big deal even breitbart mention the war on yemen more than us and b d which stands for no big deal for those of you over fifty it's a commercial enterprise that stumbles into a center left position it's just business back in the day they feared phil donahue his opposition to the iraq war would be bad for business so they got rid of the show they were terrified of the any war voice and that is not an overstatement and the war voices were popular and if you are general electric you certainly don't want any war voice on a cable channel that you won't donald rumsfeld your biggest customer today downing you just doesn't have the credentials to work at the station unlike bill kristol who could say that for the iraq war saying it would last only two months now
1:15 pm
kristol would argue that time is a construct and we need to destroy that construct despite a lack of proof that the construct even exists and all the evidence of that comes from western countries who would profit from invading the country where the construct supposedly exists while millions of innocent people die all in the name of destroying. health and network is a reunion of bush era neo cons and corporate establishment democrats having noon time wine and that's becoming the standard of us media where the voices against war climate change and the pillaging of wall street are absent and when someone tries to bring up a progressive issue like ending mass surveillance this is what happens congresswoman let me interrupt you just for a moment we've got some breaking news out of miami. right now in miami justin bieber has. arrested on the number of charges the charges she's reading the charges
1:16 pm
are low including resisting arrest and driving under the influence reporting from the white house they only care of ani redacted so that. there are your headlines from the future or tomorrow you'll learn trump begins nuclear war with pakistan to cover up poor second quarter for trump stakes. two weeks from now. m s n b c host ari melber instantly very pariahs if they're saying something mildly critical about bombing people and that sort of show but we're so sorry we did side of every moment. redacted for ninety nine ninety three and like also told me at least campbell on twitter i don't know.
1:17 pm
four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. this isn't the city of angeles when the u.s. military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up. that. simple simple than. i think decent and like you i. i know you know.
1:18 pm
that so. this is the first time the t.v. crew fuse you and takes you where you know you. answer is a problem that no one that it's healers that's in there. that's it that i you what my god if. you can take the gil is above it. you can take the girl to discuss the filipino woman you know. if you. eat.
1:19 pm
because if you go through history mankind has been cruel and destructive over and over again and somehow our cities have come back and many are quite beautiful and wonderful places. if you look in the middle east and places like syria it's it's i agree with you it's totally depressing and. and i wish that the political issues involved with it could be resolved but i think until that is done there's very little hope that the saudis will be able to turn the tide of.
1:20 pm
battle. so it. was clearly what was. the u.n. special envoy for syria says the peace process must be restarted following the u.s. led bombing of the country i think. of finding a solution at risk north korea was holding all of its missile tests declaring the country's nuclear i say she's complete washington. meanwhile he's convinced it's all thanks to its pressure and the controversial he's slamming preacher convicted of hate speech in france was deported back to algeria after the european court of human rights rejects his appeal the case though has sparked much debate. the issue is you can't be talking about freedom of speech and integrity and then you silence people i will defend your right to free speech but when that free speech is supreme
1:21 pm
all the denying of all those there why the nuts when the actual boundaries become so stop. hello there is three pm here in moscow you're watching international our top story this hour the u.n. special envoy for syria has said that peace efforts will have to be relaunched following the u.s. led bombing of the country last week america the u.k. and france fired more than one hundred cruise missiles at syria saying it was in response to an alleged chemical attack staff under mistura discuss the issue with the russian foreign minister who said that the bombing has derailed the peace process. we never expected this to be. in very very potentially danger of. peace and security is this what this happened last week that's not helped for cheap in geneva. three
1:22 pm
countries the u.s. the u.k. and france have not only bombed imaginary chemical facilities in syria but also bombed the geneva peace process although no actual categorical evidence of chemical weapons being used has been put forward at the asad government's been accused of gassing civilians and even before the international chemical watchdog could start its official probe into the allegations the u.s. u.k. and france launched air strikes on the country largely on the basis of social media reports. we cannot launch the united states cannot launch
1:23 pm
a military attack based upon innuendo and without real facts like you saw this in two thousand and three and we're still living through that risk consequences of that decision but if you're going to launch a military attack particularly in this part of the world where so many other players are potentially involved such as russia iran. and as well as syria itself it could easily cause a slippery slope of a catastrophic disaster in that region if not in the world the ability for escalation at that point military escalation is great and we saw that in iraq so are we going to be seeing history repeating itself but on a larger scale. well. now what is being portrayed in the west as a humanitarian intervention in syria. after allegations of a chemical attack syrians were immediately reassured because in case you missed it
1:24 pm
heavily armed westerners will play a role in that way with a humanitarian intervention. missiles from france britain and the us are like no other because they've combined hightailing power with good intention there are plenty of other countries involved in the syrian cluster but it's only the really nice ones doing it for humanitarian purposes we are going to saxons on the poles all traditionalist self to roll when it comes to weapons they prefer the conventional kind they've tried the chemical was on the biological arms and you pay a lot of it in world war one world war two korea vietnam iraq one on their own tears so when they tell you they'd really rather you didn't use them they are all tools you can from experience say the message to death put some terrorist six
1:25 pm
inventions and weapons on the possible buying it from western homs deal is because that way you can fire them safely from the moral high ground these three amigos dumped them friday for a into syria humanitarian intervention they live by it millions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid into the country started shouting humanely into leading out and million bucks apiece while every hole cruise missile represents a one off a million dollar aid package only straight in your face and getting help to the people who really need to look to the syria mission really achieve apart from going up a few empty buildings where everyone has been told to take them myself anyway for leaders under the car in washington london and paris this kind of p.r. is the ball such a case striking a lesson into the area makes for a much better headline that stormy. oh believe greg that brilliant writer is
1:26 pm
getting a police sting of their own mission and. now north korea is halting all of its missile launches with immediate effect and shutting down to the country's nuclear test site the country's leader kim jong un made the announcement at a party meeting according to the country state news agency. now that nuclear ization is complete and verified circumstances we do not need any further nuclear tests medium long range an intercontinental missile tests what we have from the korean central news agency the official state agency is kim jong un has announced from the april twenty first the country to be suspending all nuclear tests and all ballistic missile tests shutting down one of the key nuclear testing facilities and focusing instead its resources according to the north korean leader on building a strong socialist economy and mobilizing people to increase the country's quality of life they've also added to that of course
1:27 pm
a clause. that was likely to be one stating that north korea will never use nuclear weapons unless there is a nuclear threat or nuclear provocation to the country so that is the clause we have to bear in mind here they've also said they're willing to intensify dialogue and negotiations with both neighbors and the international community so that's the context here of more of a thawing of relations with the southern neighbor out of course coming up to that crucial meeting in june with president trump should that go ahead as planned that will be the first meeting between a current sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader and of course we have a tweet from trump to be expected to be without that stating very good news from north korea in those suspension of nuclear ballistic tests and looking forward to the summit so he's taken the news positively while it is an optimistic announcement while this is good news of course it should be taken with a pinch of salt this could be a bargaining chip some sort of bluff of course on the part of north korean leader that's what mainland this will point out nevertheless is
1:28 pm
a part of partner very much changing rhetoric between north korea its southern neighbor and the united states so certainly a big reaction tomorrow from world leaders from the u.n. and of course all eyes on june when that historic summit may very well take place well the u.s. vice president has said that this progress could not have been achieved without president trump and his maximum pressure strategy however some of the analysts we've heard from say the latest breakthrough does come in spite of u.s. threats. president has been threatening north korea all along and don't forget that north korea kept on firing this testing missiles on and carrying out tests until failed to. acquire the ability is to deliver as a devastating and nuclear deterrence the united states even before president trump has given the cold shoulder to north korea and the north korean no and the united states was not to be trust that because a wild moth career at one time tried to demolish some of their facilities you never
1:29 pm
get anything in return so this is the morale. learning the tricks and try to acquire a credible capability is this is a major step you can see that from the beginning in this process north korea and south korea have been the drivers this will now take a photo i would call it the u.s. government has been what it you start with a truck tried it when you said paris arms folded glazed a sitting down when everyone else was celebrating when the two koreans marched into the olympic games. the whole crowd was cheery careers and while the koreans have also do a cheery your american government looked like an obstruction of the peace treaty was starting to leave the station and so donald trump ended up in jump under that tree. line islamic preacher convicted of hate speech in france has been deported
1:30 pm
after his appeal to the european court of human rights was rejected l. howdy doody was sent back to our tyria on friday thawing his conviction for provoking hatred towards jews shiites and women in public speeches he reportedly made slurs against jewish people and argue that women should not have the right to even leave their homes without permission while police had warned the man posed a significant threat as his speeches encouraged acts of terror we put the she. pretty bad. people who come into the united kingdom you know france the european union have to sign up to the values of tolerance and respect respect for different faiths different ways of life it wasn't a bane any kind of laws within europe freedom of movement of free speech he wanted to admit deny people that their issue is you can't be talking about freedom of speech and integrity and then silence people i will defend your right to for.
