prescriptions a year to more than $6000000.00. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st companies that are needed used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produce 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 the 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 all. the lice prints and his 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 are going back and we wanted to find the patients they 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 have 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. stuff. that we follow it thank you for the mill we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ my prayer. 66 you hear me in chelsea 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 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. in 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.

all of us have. through. several of the. 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

a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot of a lot love i don't feel alone anymore so. that's that's going to feel lot better. on day 15 of his treatment col 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. 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 tis when i see her i would just pass out. back to.

2 her you done. for me went to church this morning you know the. problem. oh ok. i'm 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 and i'll give you a call here after a little bit. ok by. his tone better.

his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son carl's burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most always so i have to be someone else to be there for him and we don't there's times you don't want to so we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think really the most difficult as far as anger is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say is they are so helpful in the ruling more lies in there all. the sudden false and illegal takeover of a government by

a small group. so rather than revolutionaries or soldiers could that small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrifice some. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices were well into that world for well into this world and there's no question that the coup d'etat.

in syria has been engulfed in civil war for almost 10 years it cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no one foresaw the peaceful protests . of 20 of these collating into a complex conflict between various own music geo political interests rebel groups you have just. as me. they are on the on the book on this. but if you tell us if you say you hate because. as you know the. best of the cool. you know deep comedic. and ordinary has sat down i. miss south as the mother i am in the shade but i

didn't miss the hague a shout to hear. it. i think the only time we've ever had any sort of opiates in the house was after my surgery last year. and at that time we knew about kyle is way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let me take the microscope and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy go to oxy cause. the street name for that is roxy and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother there even were addicting one 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. the whole country is in a state of awareness. wanting to change things and contain the epidemic. at the oklahoma university and then seem an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew called out me lawyer ritchie with me and up to jason bateman they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case. dr beeman has created the 1st college education program of the country on

pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the 1st drivers 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 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 one of the richest families in the country the one that

funds and controls the purse and high. article i wanted to show you that appeared for bush about the sackler family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the riches fan. and you know it's and they've sold more than $35.00. dollars worth of since it was really just. 952 by the secular brothers. until then their name was known to the general public nowadays the billionaires and very much appreciated by. the made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie of 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 show they knew what they were to. exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes

for alternately with and knowingly. the. one thing. i mean dollars and they didn't appear. 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 sacco's 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 stupid a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. proof pharmaceutical after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about the business and falsely marketed 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 the this is what they've been able. 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 a 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 they can. years of investigation and hearings through 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 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 . history. the lawyers of the fall 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. bad for nigeria very generously i'm not sure. that's a better answer to that are. just

a mouth. that on never. and that was. all. i don't know what spin of all. since you were boyish. please you are scared of getting hooked on drugs 6. 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 an awful lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy.

after he left the ranch called 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 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 of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is an aunt there's other cases involved. frankly with. 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. should be brought in and 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. 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 please he didn't dismiss it and she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial see and see what's going to happen with their 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. i miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr it's hard. but through this through this i can file i can smile and say she's helping somebody else. that's what i see.

a i forget her. eyes you're really do you're 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 for financial losses that birju pharma company is now looking for new clients for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.

the world is driven by shaped by one person.

the dares thinks. we dare to ask. the sudden false and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. so rather than revolutionaries or soldiers that's a good faith alteration why. you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take a back leg lease or sacrifice some places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter

suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices we're well into that world we're well into for the school and there's no question that the code because. i 1st heard about the you know. from the helicopter for troops in iraq. i think that there are people going to going to its military who have never forgiven. this guy a freighter a trooper to get a book and every little bit of it we saw he was really starting to happen. in the pentagon journalese a guy who dared to see a lot of crimes to open up an audience. the idea of developing an

anonymous digital trombones and applying it to lead to a consensus meant to take something that was approached. by. the fall into it would be crucial. and one of the world's most powerful news will emerge from the theory of standards never celebrated founder of the song given sunday morning. there was a great deal of jealousy in the minds for in order to solve the fickle why won't it be more marco been accusing all. this isn't. just my. record. we have giuliani sides in solitary confinement the same for terrorists oh wait you don't have a life person. i don't see him dying you know. tests

when the stakes are. high and i think you have to be. on your computer in. the u.s. sees its biggest black lives matter rallies and leaks we hear from a reporter who got caught up in the police crackdown in seattle. to get closer and closer to b.s. and saying hey i'm being peaceful and cracking up dead you see a police officer from seattle show back where i started filming him as a cover story project weekend. and in the stories that shaped the week the u.k.'s opposition labor party pushes for artie's broadcast license to people vote after reports on alleged russian influence we got reaction from londoners. we all know shot on the moon. because it's just noise all the more destruction was really going

on i just take the.
