1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: We know that healthcare costs and drug prices are out

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: of control. We've got millions of Americans on multiple medications,

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: and we should be asking why drugs cost so much,

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: whether the system is working for everyday families instead of

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: for big farmer profits. It's a new survey that came

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: out and they said this six and ten adults, around

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: sixty percent take at least one prescription medication. About thirty

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: six percent of adults reported taking three or more prescription

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: drugs in the past year. Yeah.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: Now keep in mind you said that the survey was

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: done of adults, and so that means people eighteen plus.

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: So while you say that sixty percent of Americans are

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: taking a prescription medication on a regular basis, that includes

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: very young people who traditionally don't take a lot of

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: daily medications. People in their late teens and their early

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: and mid twenties typically don't have a prescription that they're

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: taking every day, but they're getting lumped in. So if

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: you were to look at, say people over thirty five,

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: my guess is if they were to break this down,

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: that sixty percent number would be even higher than what

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: it is and even more shocking than the headline leads

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: you to believe.

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: Here you've got Kaylee Means he's the senior MAHA advisor.

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Thirty percent of teens in the United States are on

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: a daily medication. Teen antidepressants psychoactive drug has gone up

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: fourteen thousand percent since nineteen eighty seven, antipsychotic medications among

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: kids up eight hundred percent since nineteen ninety five, and

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: stimulant prescriptions. We are poisoning our kids with ultra processed

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: food and then we are drugging them at rates unseen

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: in human history. And to think that this does not

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: have a link to other issues downstream of that would

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: be crazy. And we're investigating it heavily and we're taking action.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: So we have no future if we don't have our health.

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the most important thing. I go back

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: to the old saying a healthy person has a million wishes,

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: a sick person only has one. And for the first time,

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: it seems like you've got an administration that is talking

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: about health and making it a priority, and they're trying

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: to align with parents versus corporations from prioritizing real food

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: and finally providing parents with choices even with vaccines. What

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: we put in our children.

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was another fascinating part of this study, and

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: I read the whole article, and I actually clicked on

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: the link and read some of the specific questions in

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: the study. In addition to prescription drugs, Americans are taking

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: a ton of over the counter pain medications. One in three,

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: according to this article, one in three Americans daily take

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: either ibuprofen, thailanol, or aspirin. That's an incredible amount because

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: none of those are meant to be taken on a daily,

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: long term basis. They're meant to be In fact, you

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: read read the back of the pill bottle, it usually says,

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: you know, don't take for longer than a week, or

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: don't take for longer than two weeks. But one in

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: three Americans are taking some sort of over the counter

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: pain medication daily right now,
