4:34 am
a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids big companies were aware that these pills were dangerous addictive of course and could kill people of course they would yes they were aware before they put out their drug and when the drug started to get prescribed it was very clear early on there was a public health problem associated with this so there was overwhelming evidence that the products that were making them rich were killing people are going back and we wanted to find the patients that testified in this that really johnny passed away in 2008 in an accident caused by oxycontin his wife confided he had become addicted to it lauren was addicted for years now she's free if it became addicted and was also found dead of a cardiac arrest 3 patients out of 6 had become addicted as for the doctor who

4:36 am
a daily thing you gotta let it go people say you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time don't know. if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is 5. that's right . i mean i don't know what are thinking miles i really don't i would like to know what your thinking was how did she think that was helping. chelsea was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. kyle has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. and his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the hyper serenity. so what i want to do is look at the stuff that we this morning every single one of us through.
4:37 am
all of us have to see this through. several things. guys that i that are in here were athletes. they got injured that introduced him to the opiates and whenever they take the opiates they find out hey not only does this make me physically feel better but emotionally i feel better . so what of opiates. made me feel like a better person. like i'd be in the house all day and then once i got high i could go out and do whatever on a new. everybody else here is still the same thing and you know i can relate to
4:38 am
a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot of a lot of love i don't feel alone anymore so. that's what's going to fill lot better . on day 15 of his treatment relapsed. one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist.
4:39 am
after he plunged back he was sent to this facility. monitored under high surveillance away from his family and son he's following his treatment to be able to go back to the ranch. ready. here every fall we thank you for this day look we think this were about to receive we think this is just being on a 4 year stretch with it and i just can't seem to stop and. yeah it's highly addictive. why is it so hard to be sober because you have pain i guess is just now i'm so over a half feelings. and. i mean to see how i would just get high and pass out.

4:41 am
his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son cows burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most we saw have to be someone else to be there for him and we don't there's times that we don't want to sell we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think really the most difficult as far as anger is and stuff is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they are right or drugs are so helpful in the ruling more lives than they're holding.
4:42 am
what if i tell you that everything you thought you knew about that movie the matrix is wrong. thinking of getting a new trick on the ones we got in here she was as he didn't know until he was trapped in this tiny little wired how much you can use a crate with him he will stir reaching out into the wall when it's pretty much anywhere near. greeting dogs or caged in the in human conditions on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the thunder nothing they have no protection. you can't get what you. get through kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and stores most of the puppies that
4:43 am
are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved like cargill and mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs don't buy dog on a. i think the only time we've ever had any sort of opiates in my house was after my surgery last year. and at that time we knew about it israel had them yeah we did yeah i assured my mom when you might need to take the marker stroke and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the. the exact stuff that my brother
4:44 am
got addicted to oxy. causes. which strain into the season and if you. just heroin according to my brother there you were addicting. and he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out i was like no you can't take these and here he had just had his appendix taken out he needed the hump and i didn't want him taking them because i wasn't going to go through this again. just like cauls family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic.
4:45 am
at the oklahoma university and then seen an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew culottes me lawyer ritchie with me and dr jason bateman they've all gabbled to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case . dr beaman has created the 1st college education program of the country on pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the prescribers from dentists doctors in baton areas right then and there. we think that that will do more to the result you were describing than any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person writing things and we've seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical
4:46 am
students will never be. volved and. behavior there are definitely some doctors have knowingly contributed to this problem they saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it but that's that's a very small minority. as department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like one of the richest families in the country the one that funds and controls the produce and hire article i want to show you that appeared for about the sack or family and back in 201514 bay and one of the richest families in the it's and they've sold more than 35. dollars worth of since it was really just. boarded 952 by the secular brothers. until then their name was known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. made itself known as
4:47 am
the patrons of museums such as the movie the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortune and their company michael barrett intends to make this truth. do you think they knew what they were doing sure they knew what they were doing. their exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and knowingly crossing the north of the. that's a result of one thing. i mean dollars and they didn't here who destroyed what damages. in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over $635000000.00 in penalties and continue to sell opioids.
4:48 am
the site. clothes would never have been able to market this product without authorization the f.d.a. has to control and regulate every single drug put on the market it authorized the use of oxycontin as a painkiller without a problem. some of the same f.d.a. officials involved in regulating the drug. would wind up leaving f.d.a. and taking higher paying jobs for purdue pharma and other drug companies we call that the revolving door i think they should have figured out earlier than what was going on and to this day some of these same f.d.a. officials are still at the f.d.a. and rather than saying we made a horrible mistake we have to change our policies they haven't changed their policies they keep approving more opioids. it's
4:49 am
a big day for oklahoma the attorney general's teams are facing the lawyers of the 4 companies being seated a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. approved pharmaceutical after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about the business and falsely marketed in oklahoma my goal was to let the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of money and they're going to fight for the this is what they've been good. to to try to show that they didn't cause they're probably going to blame this on doctors and they're probably going to blame it on people like myself who got sick. we've probably got at least $20.00 for you know they have been insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these
4:50 am
cases and ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other to lie as much as they can. to years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time for laboratories will be judged. as being responsible for the crisis. one day i think they would like us to stop. and go away but we're not we can't wait to try out may of 2019 we're going to have her trial and we're looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in our case with every fiber of my being and i look forward to trying this case if i were the 1st case in the nation set for trial and we've been getting calls from others it's we will set the precedent. we will might some history on that matter. good history. the lawyers
4:51 am
of the full laboratories dutch to us despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel. bad for not. going to see i'm not sure. that's a better answer to that other. face to mouth. never. and that was. all. i don't know what spin of all. since you were mobbed voice. police are scared of getting hooked on drugs. that's my biggest worry are now occurring that i think. it's been 3 months since
4:52 am
cali integrated the ranch told his dad he is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying calloused don't exist. now that i'm sober an awful lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy. after he left the ranch moved in with his mother for a while. he's now found a job and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is a struggle. this is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of nicole. her lawyer
4:53 am
asked for just muscle of counts. the state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. i think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result from that which is off so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here and there are many. women died as it was why should anyone outside the medication age one especially diabetic. these things to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is going on there's other cases involved and. frankly with all the egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it so are you confident. you're waiting for the doctor.
4:54 am
should be brought in could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed you. all along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face she will never speak as if none of this were her concern . the judge has reached a ruling. dr nichols will be tried for murder. it's an exceptional decision on the part of the american justice system the trial has to happen in a year or less from now on she's banned from practicing. doctor nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty.
4:55 am
i think it's a good thing she's going to have to get a course in how to answer for what she did wrong. it's going to have to answer in front of journeymen no he added manslaughter better please he didn't dismiss it she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial see and see what's going to happen with her you know my daughter to serve that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know are dangerous about at the time they were doing the best they could to treat their patients and now they're blaming one of their own victims. for doing the best she could with the medical knowledge she. love you. and miss you.
4:56 am
i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr it's hard. but through this through this i can spy out i can smile and say i hope she help somebody else. that's what i see to. take i forget her. i figured her really do or she hears everything i say you know i do know i have to give. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for over prescribing opioids. and 27 states. suing the laboratories for financial losses due pharma company
4:57 am
is now looking for new clients for it so. it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.
4:58 am
certainly. entering a new stage. as sas. just the needs. i think we. already passed the peak of. the. most. progress in terms of developed development. i don't think it's going to stop. this. contradiction between safe life and will share point bob it will not disappear.
4:59 am
way to go through that. they could still move it to. the plaza in this way got to do all. the other dismiss the work of. an accused killer then again. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody slights his way to. the floor you can be out of this will persuade you that you have the ability to put it on the. what i think is this is the fund that is a look come from. higher
5:00 am
max kaiser. this is the kaiser report what if i told you that everything you thought you knew about that will be the matrix is wrong they say max in the past week i was very surprised to learn that being red pill is now considered a racist all right and some of the worst things on earth he could possibly say and american media so let's look at what their original meaning of red pill is of course this is a reference to the film the matrix.
