the issue for me is that the government should have proper oversight over big pharma.- and this is not meaning you're an antivacciner or antimandates when mandates are important -- it doesn't mean you're antiscience. it means you're sophisticated enough to understand that there are legitimate concerns that have been voiced by many people, many, many issues that have been raised here about the coziness between big pharma and the centers for disease control and the fda. that doesn't make you antivac xer. i am for vaccines when they are called for. >> why are you conflating big pharma with hard science? are you saying the hard science is incorrect or do you think that the science is propaganda? >> the truth of the matter is there have been $4 billion in damages that have been paid since 1988 that have to do with harm done by vaccines. this is simply the truth. you know, big pharma -- what i don't understand is this blind faith that so many americans seem to have. this is a complicated issue. >> but aren't you concerned by talking -- i am so sorry to interrupt, but i want

we are holding big pharma accountable, and i must say, big pharma has also been working with us to try get prices down. if we had support with the democrats, i must say we could get it down even more. we have reduced prices down quite a bit, and this year is the first year, alex acosta, right, in 53 years that drug prices have come down. and i want to congratulate you and all the people that have worked so hard. [applause] president trump: that is really incredible. first year. and we could get them down a lot more if we had a little support in congress, and i think we will get that support. i think that has to be a joint. if that is going to be bilateral, we are going to get it done, and we are going to get it done quickly. we are going to get support. i have spoken to democrats and they are in support of it. we have to see if we can get them to actually raise their hand. if they do that, we will see tremendous cuts in drug prices. thank you very much, alex. we have asked congress to support an initiative to find a breakthrough cure for childhood cancers, and we have begun a public he

when we get money from big pharma companies in my plan, it covers not just opioid addiction.t covers mental health beds, it covers meth, it covers crack cocaine, so everyone has that right to be pursued by grace. that is what we are talking about when we talk about taking this on. it is criminal justice reform. take the second step. onledge to you, i will take criminal justice reform is any good former prosecutor knows how to do. i want to pledge to you, i don't make all the promises some people make, but i promise you this. my whole life i have always done my work with integrity. i have gotten things done. i will govern with integrity and i will govern for you. thank you so much, rainbow push, for all you have done. we have a job that started the day after that president got inaugurated. all the people marched in chicago, all over this country, and they marched against mean-spirited immigration reform. let us march all the way to the elections in 2020 and win this thing next year. one.k you, every ♪ ♪

we do not take any money from big pharma. the formula is actually in the marijuana industry. but the company who brought oxycontin and healthy opioid epidemic, unfortunately, in the wrong way, he is now the ceo of a marijuana company. is the industry is involved in this. -- the pharmaceutical industry is involved with this. if we legalize this, and 50 years, it will be the same thing as abuses with the marijuana industry. to formally want people a action lawsuits to get this industry under wraps? i do not think so. i think it is very important to look at these cases, these files going on in oklahoma, for example, in the therapeutics and purdue pharma and look at that and say do we want to replicate that model in 50 years with another drug industry? host: we would like to say luke niforatos of smart approaches to marijuana for being with us today. luke, thank you for your announcer: now, democratic presidential candidate senator cory booker joins the political party live part cast -- podcast and another in their series of their interviews for presidential candidates. >> if you

i also think the error of blind faith in blind pharma is over and the cozy relationship between big pharmathe cdc has simply got to stop. >> what does that have to do with should the government mandate vaccines for our children? >> well, once the american people feel absolutely safe about this, and that's why as president one of the things i would do is have a commission of scientists who we know are not paid for by big pharma so that the american people can have -- feel safe about it. every american wants their child to be safe and in many cases the idea of a vaccination, i had the polio vaccine as a child. i'm certainly not doubting that. most people i know are not. but i do not think that just the fact you're concerned about big pharma's cozy relationship and the revolving door with the cdc and fda means that you're anti-science or even that you are anti-vaccine. i don't think that questioning should be shut down. >> so without being president and being able to put that commission in place, as a private citizen, who is running for president, should vaccines are mandated by the governmen

with all due respect to big pharma, i have no problem, no gripe with people being successful, i don'tdge success, i appreciate competition, i appreciate research, i appreciate the kind of innovation that we pride ourselves on, but i don't like people taking advantage of other people. i don't like gouging, i don't like windfalls, i don't like folks, you know, getting massive bonuses and, you know, at the expense of folks that are struggling on the streets and the sidewalks. this is a foundational principle , it is a value i know laguna honda community shares. it is a value that san franciscans share, it is of value the mayor shares, it is shared broadly throughout this state and substantial of lee, around this region in santa clara, in alameda, that value now is being brought to the forward in terms of counties joining the state purchasing pool. we had hoped this would happen in a year or two, maybe three, but here we are, just weeks after announcing l.a. county joining our purchasing pool, no three additional counties are joining the purchasing pool. this is remarkable. the momentum i

it means standing up for our rural hospitals and it means saying to those big pharma companies you knowou might have two lobbies for every member of congress, you might think they own washington, but they don't own me. that is what standing up for america is about. so let's stand up for our unions and the right to organize because when unions are strong, our economy is strong. let's stand up like the rangers of iowa 130 years ago and stand up against monopoly power. and let's pass a constitutional amendment to overturn citizens united. that is how we get the dark money out of our politics. but to do this we need to win and i know i can win because i've done it every place, everywhere, every time and if we don't think we can win in the midwest with a midwesterner on the ticket, i have four words for you. former governor scott walker. iowa look at the arch that we're on, the day after the inauguration, millions of people peacefully marched across the country, denying the mean spirited refugee order, people spontaneously showed up at the airports. day 100, the march for science, my favorit

the big pharma pushed oxycontin to us.y flooded the market with the most powerful pain killer you can put in people's hands. we got into pill mode where doctors were writing $50 per prescription. we shut down the pills and take the pills away from the addicts and flood the market with heroin. >> where is the crime? >> robberies and burglaries. >> no pushing of the drugs. >> we are getting a lot of fentanyl from china and they are coming up through mexico through the borders. we have to seal the borders because last year they killed 72,000 americans. it killed 64,000 americans. they are killing cities from the inside out. it's time we wake up and fight the epidemic and do what's right. the senator who you mentioned, they have done a good job and got treatment dollars, but we are missing enforcement dollars. >> the dr. overprescribes and somebody takes six pills a day instead of two or three. then they get hooked. people know what it's like. you get the shoulder or the rotator cuff. some people can't give it up. >> here's th

and it would lock-in high medicine prices with these new monopoly rights added for big pharma. but if the monopoly rights for pharma can come out and the labor and environmental standards much struggle enforcement can go in, it would be worth having a deal like that that also takes out the investors take corporate tribunals because the damage of nafta continues every week. every week a new union is being busted in mexico. every week jobs are being outsourced from the middle-class to sweatshops come the same hard-working folks, the only difference is two countries, one agreement. the rules have to change. ist of case is still being filed. every week we have to replace nafta. the question is whether trump will end up basically derailing this process. that despite him come his trade representative in the house democrats have been working on to try to infix and improve the agreement he signed to get into a point where it would be worth having at least to try and stop some of that ongoing damage even if it would not be perfect. amy: finally, lori wallach, the message that has been an
