1000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st company's 90 minutes used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on dock to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produced sponsored 20000 educational programs across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period a walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than

the gun lobby in the united states in has spent in trying to block gun regulations . the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids the nice brands and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root hidden in the shadows for so long the addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light this days with the most people showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to the pills show up as read. and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 200-520-0720 extension 09 what you can see is that in every state in the united states we've seen 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. back 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

appeared in the film here is his answer. it's not acceptable to say i don't believe in using strong pain medications for chronic pain we need to stop saying this. list. that we follow thank you for the mill who we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ my prick. still sticks just to see you hear me charles i came here a lot but i just feel like she's here with me every time i come here i just feel her presence you know it makes me shine if i was trouble with this whole it's

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 our thinking was i really don't i would like to know whether thinking was how did she think that was helping. him see was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. kyla has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. in his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the percentage. so what i want to do today is incorporate a little bit the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us through.

all of us have. several things. is that i that are in here athletes. they got injured that introduced into the opiates 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 dealing with the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lie that i'm well i don't feel alone

anymore and so. that's that's made me feel lot better. on day 15 of his treatment called relapsed. one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist.

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. reading. your every move 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. i would just pass out.

'd or. they may be. carried on. for me went to church this morning you know but i got problems. oh ok. well it's almost 12 so i'm going to run by and pick up cash and come out there to you so you can spend some time with him. good luck. to you too and i'll give you a call here after a little bit. by. history on better.

his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son caus burned every bridge possible. even though he's her best the most we still have to be someone's to be there for him and we don't there's times that we don't want to so we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think the really the most difficult as far as anger is this of just knowing. all the all these companies know what their jobs are doing and they will say that they are so helpful in the ruling more lives than the real thing. is you know media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallows. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china

sea that makes it so coveted 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. and you know the guys in my town the way the both of us. bandicoots old movie theater i. was in this way got to talk. to the disaffected

the ok and i know just how much and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights use. the floor. this bill frist would have given it. up on the. what i think is this is the that is what. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person of those but. i am.

no dairy thinks. we dare to ask. i think the only time we've ever had any sort of opiates in my house was after my surgery last year. at that time we knew about it was way ahead. we had those yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let me take care of them i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy r.c. cars. which the street name for that is roxy and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother they're even more 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 calls family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic. at the oklahoma university and then seen an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew called out me lawyer richie with me and up to jason bateman they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory.

case. dr beaman has created the 1st college education program with the country on pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the prescribers from dennis starkers about marriage right then and there. we think that there. 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 and we've seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years and my medical students will never be involved in this overprescribing behavior and 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 oklahoma's department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like $1.00 of the richest families in the country the one that

funds and controls the purse and hire. article i wanted to show you that appeared in forbes about the sackler family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the united states and they've sold more than 35000000000. dollars worth of oxy cotton since it was really just. was boarded 952 by the secular brothers. until then did name was now known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. made itself known as 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 known. do you think they knew what they were doing sure they knew what they were doing. then you're exactly what i would

and they pleaded guilty to crimes and for all didn't lead with and knowingly crossing the north of the. that's a result of the one thing for sure that they were my. i mean billions of dollars and they didn't hear. 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. the sack 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 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. did business and falsely marketed in oklahoma my goal was to let the trees come out

i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of money and they're going to fight for that this is what they've indicated. to to try to show that they didn't cause us 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 lawyers 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 cases and ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other lie as much as. 86 years of investigation and hearings 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. i think they would like us to stop. and go away but we're not we can't wait it's trial may of 2019 we're going to tee up for 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 other states we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter . good history. the lawyers of the 4 laboratories duchesse despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel maybe you could come back from that injury very generously i'm not sure. that's a better answer to get on. just him out of.

bed on a never be. and that was. all. i don't know what spin of all. since you were boyish. but please you are scared of getting hooked on drugs. that's my biggest worry are now approaching that i don't think. it's been 3 months since 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 and off to a lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy.

after he left the ranch. 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 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 bill 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

she should have been on the type of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think would be evidence that is absolutely fail to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what's going on there's other cases involved. frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just say it's very confident. you're waiting for the doctor. 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

. if 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. from now on she's banned from practicing. nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. 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 the jury and i know he added a manslaughter or better at least he didn't dismiss and she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial and 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 were 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. i miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. with any childe see. mr card. but through this through this i can

spy out i can smile and say she's helping somebody else. that's what i see if you're. ok i forgive her. i figured really do you she here every day i forget i do 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 'd for financial losses that gurdjieff pharma company is now looking for new clients for its opioid it has created subsidiaries and asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.

here. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. of no was a clip of she was no use to you. on the sca my it's always at the k. it was a authorial moment and the late. you know. i mean

. they can. he. says anything. yes. yes well. certainly. not just the needs. i think we. already passed the peak of this willingness to be most. progress in terms of developing this development of technology. communication i don't think it's going to stop. this control going to addiction

between the sea fly and we'll share it will not disappear. america raisers for another night with. police. in the wake of. his. will curfews are imposed across the dozens of cities in the united states. is leaving a trail of destruction with. the protests have now spread beyond the u.s. with thousands gathering.
