>>THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC CONTINUES TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM IN THE
UNITED STATES AND IT IS COSTING US HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
THE CORE OF THE ISSUE IS THE DRUG MANUFACTURERS.
HE IS
HONESTLY THE FIRST POLITICIAN I HAVE SEEN AGGRESSIVELY PUSH FOR
CONSEQUENCES FOR THESE DRUG MANUFACTURERS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON PHARMACIST AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.
BUT WE
NEED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND SEN.
SANDERS
UNDERSTANDS THAT.
WHAT WOULD IT DO?
DURING AN INTERVIEW SEN.
SANDERS WAS QUOTED AS SAYING THIS.
>>LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TWO HUGE UPSIDES OF THIS BILL AND THE
DOWNSIDE OF NO CALVARY FOR SEN.
SANDERS AS USUAL.
SEND AND
ALLISON HARTSON FOR GOD SAKE.
THE UPSIDES ñ NUMBER ONE WHAT
CORPORATIONS HAVE DONE EN MASSE IN AMERICA IS PRIVATIZE THE
GAINS AND SOCIALIZE LOSSES.
ALL OF US TAXPAYERS HAVE PAID 500
BILLION IN COSTS.
DID YOU MAKE MONEY OFF DRUGS BECAUSE I
DIDN'T.
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES MADE BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN MONEY FOR ALL THE COSTS THEY
CREATED?
NO.
REPUBLICANS THAT PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT TAXPAYERS,
WHERE ARE YOU?
NOWHERE TO BE FOUND WHY?
PHARMACEUTICAL
COMPANIES ARE NUMBER ONE DONORS TO POLITICIANS IN THIS COUNTRY.
THEY BRIBE THEM.
SANDERS IS UNBREAKABLE.
HE DOESN'T TAKE
CORPORATE TAX MONEY.
THAT IS WHY THEY DESPISE HIM.WHY DON'T YOU
JUST TAKE THE BRIBES AND DO WHAT WE ALL DO?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO
INSIST ON TRYING TO REPRESENT PEOPLE?
LET'S GO TAKE THEIR
PROFITS.
THEY THINK BERNIE SANDERS IS THE PITCHFORK CROWD.
THEY WANT 100%.
YOU HAVE NOT SEEN PITCHFORKS YET.
PAINT THE
DEAL HE IS GIVING YOU.
THE SECOND PART IS EVEN BETTER, YOU
PUT ONE DRUG COMPANY EXECUTIVE IN PRISON AND THERE WILL NOT BE
ANY PROBLEMS LEFT.
YOU THINK THOSE GUYS WHO MAKE TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WILL RISK THEIR OWN SELF TO GO TO PRISON?
NOW WHEN THEY KEEP ALL THE MONEY THEY WILL KEEP DOING IT OVER AND
OVER AGAIN.
YOU PUT ONE IN PRISON FOR KNOWING IT,
ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY HAVE TO FIND OUT WHERE THE PILLS ARE
GOING.
IN THIS COUNTRY RICH PEOPLE DON'T GO TO PRISON.
>>IT'S KIND OF AMAZING WHO GETS DEMONIZED IN THE UNITED STATES
AND WHO GETS AWAY WITH LITERAL MURDER.
>> THAT IS PER YEAR.
I AM NOT CALLING IT MURDER EITHER BUT THAT IS A LOT OF
DEAD FOLKS WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> MY POINT IS, WE GO THROUGH THESE NEWS CYCLES WHERE SOME
STORIES DEMONIZE THE POOR AND OTHERS DEMONIZED LITERAL
CHILDREN.
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY CALL OUT FOR GUN CONTROL.
WE
DEMONIZE MINORITIES, IMMIGRANTS.
BUT WE NEVER HEAR THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA DEMONIZE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES WITH THEIR INSANE TAX
BREAKS, WITH THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO CHARGE US WHATEVER
THEY WANT FOR THEIR DRUGS AND WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE
THOSE PRICES.
THEY ARE ABLE TO MARKET DRUGS THAT ARE ADDICTIVE
AND CAN KILL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
THOSE ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE WORTH DEMONIZING.
THE WALL STREET BANKERS WHO
DESTROY THE ECONOMY AND GET A BAILOUT.
THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE
THAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON.
THE BROADER THING WE WANT TO
BRING UP IN REGARDS TO THIS STORY IS IF WE SEE POLITICIANS
LIKE DONALD TRUMP OR SOME OTHER LOWLIFE ARGUING THAT WE SHOULD
BE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A WALL OR HATING ON IMMIGRANTS, THEY
ARE DISTRACTING YOU FROM THE REAL CRIMINALS.
THESE ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE ROBBING US, MAKING A TON OF MONEY AND NOT
PAYING THEIR TAXES.
THEN THEY ARE SOCIALIZING LOSSES.
THOSE ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS.
>> THINK ABOUT WHY CABLE NEWS NEVER TALKS ABOUT DRUG
COMPANIES.
WELL, JUST TURN ON CABLE NEWS FOR SECOND.
DO YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU WILL SEEK?
NONSTOP DRUG ADS.
HEY, ARE YOU HAVING
TROUBLE WITH YOUR PENIS?
ARE YOU 98 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TROUBLE
WITH THIS OR THAT?
I HAVE JUST GIVEN CNN LITERALLY BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN ADVERTISING.
DO YOU THINK CNN WILL BITE THE HAND
THAT FEEDS THEM?
THEN HE TURNED TO FOX NEWS, DO YOU KNOW WHO
THEY BLAME IT ON?
THE MEXICANS.
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES?
DO THEY CROSS THE BORDER AND
IMMEDIATELY SEES DRUG COMPANIES?
THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH MARIJUANA OR THAT STUFF, IT HAS TO DO WITH ILLEGAL OPIOIDS.
IF ANYTHING, ILLEGAL OPIOIDS KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN
LEGAL
OPIOIDS LIKE HEROIN.
FINALLY THE LAST CULPRIT IS ALL OF THE
CORPORATE SELLOUTS IN CONGRESS.
PERFECT EXAMPLE, DIANE
FEINSTEIN.
GET HER OUT.
WHY?
LOOK AT THIS CASE.
SHE GOING TO
HELP BERNIE SANDERS?
OF COURSE NOT.
THEY ASKED HER IN A TOWN
HALL IF SHE WAS GOING TO DO MEDICARE FOR ALL.
SHE SAID MAYBE
LATER.
YOU ARE 84, YOU HAVE BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR 50 YEARS, WHEN
HIS LATER?
SHE WENT AND RAISE MONEY FOR HEALTHCARE COMPANIES A
WEEK LATER.
SHE DOESN'T REPRESENT YOU, ALMOST NONE OF
THESE PEOPLE REPRESENT YOU.
THEY REPRESENT THEIR DONORS.
THEY ARE
MESSING WITH YOU AND LETTING THEM TAKE ALL THE PROPHETS.
RIGHT NOW THE ONE GUY FIGHTING FOR US IS BERNIE SANDERS.
AND
THEY WONDER WHY WE SUPPORT HIM.
