They were lying and misrepresenting the dosages and the amounts. I mean, there's a whole article on it. You can go through that Reuters did that breaks down what happened. So the FDA hammered that facility and shut it down. And so that created a backlog where Lilly didn't have it. Here's where it gets dark.
They are paying the media outlets that they fund $8 billion a year that Big Pharma puts into the advertising with these media outlets. They are paying them to do stories indirectly, to do stories, hatchet job articles, scaring people away from cost-effective alternatives like compounding pharmacies. Shut up and take your Ozempic. All the meanwhile. So one of these articles came out.
I don't even remember who it was. It wasn't the Atlantic. It was, I don't even want to give them the credit. Anyways, the article at the end is an advertisement for Eli Lilly. And by the way, Eli Lilly's cutting the prices of Ozempic. They wrote an article about a recall one of my pharmacies had on 28 vials. 28 vials. We ship over, we've treated over a million patient lives.
We recalled 28 vials proactively. We didn't know for sure if there was a discrepancy, but in an abundance of caution, we recalled it. 28 vials. Made national news. Why? That's insanity. That should not be national news. And we know the answer why. We know the answer why. And meanwhile, the whole time, the FDA has been in my building three times in 18 months. There are over 2,000
manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that the FDA has not been in in five or more years. Lilly and Pfizer have moved a huge amount of their manufacturing facilities overseas to third world countries like India. And they put them in rural areas where when an FDA inspector goes out there, they got to stay in a shit hole hotel that has no water and shit.
And so they don't want to go there. And if they do go there, they have to give them a three-month heads up because they've got to get visas and green cards or whatever they call them, all these things, and negotiate with the country to go in there for months at a time.
And so I just say all that because the narrative that's being delivered in the direction it's headed, anything that's FDA approved in these pharmaceutical companies are not making these super safe products. And we could go for hours.
But one of the things Trump did, and I'll wrap it up, but Trump, right now, already, Trump said we need to break up the PBMs. He's dead right. Spot on. Good work. He said we need to move manufacturing from overseas back to the United States. That would clean up all of these facilities that these big pharma companies are hiding.
And then they're also hiding the dollars, the tax dollars over there, you know, because they're able to hide those dollars overseas and realize those revenue streams overseas. And bringing all that back and putting them right back in this country gives Americans jobs. It creates better oversight. I mean, several of the ideas that they have already floated out are phenomenal.
Man, it was pretty wild. It all transpired so fast. I got a call from Cali Means. We've become pretty good buddies. I know you're having him and his sister Casey on the podcast. Brilliant folks that are just patient advocates. I mean, at the end of the day. They had the same experience as I had. Callie, a little bit different walk of life. He was a lobbyist.
Casey was a doctor, Stanford-trained surgeon. Realized that she was in a system where they didn't really heal people. They just treated symptoms and profiteered off disease states. And she said there's got to be a better way. So their voice rung so loud. after I think they did Tucker, that it led to momentum. And then because of you having me on the podcast, that's how I met RFK.
And so Bobby's team had reached out to me maybe about a year and a half ago to come up to Dallas while he was doing a campaign there and sit down with him and he was, just asking 100 questions about what's going on and what did you see on the pharmaceutical side and what did you see owning pharmacies and billing insurance companies.
And so when they had an opportunity to put this team together to testify in front of the Senate, the goal was to create a nonpartisan group of individuals to take a new, fresh approach to what is going on with chronic disease in America. because the chronic disease crisis is at an all-time high.
I mean, we could go through all the statistics, and I know that Casey and Callie will when they're on here, so I don't wanna steal their thunder, but it's staggering. I mean, close to anywhere between 1.7 to 1.9 million people are dying a year of chronic disease. We talk a lot about war.
Since the dawn of this country, roughly estimated between 1.3 to 1.5 million people total have died in war, American lives. So in a year, we're losing more people to chronic disease than all the wars combined. And we're not talking about it. So to me, I was excited when they said, hey, the Senate's willing to hear. And that's the beauty of a democracy.
They did let us come in there and candidly take a dump on the Senate floor on what's going on with this health care system and really dig into the weeds.
So prior you do a debrief. So we did do a roundtable prior to going into the communal roundtable in front of the public eye, which they had no idea what was coming. The Senate didn't expect it. We had assembled a grassroots effort to get the word out there. And over 2000 people took off from work. These are. This is a Senate hearing.
Over 2,000 hardworking Americans took time from their busy day, flew to D.C., had to sit in an overflow room to listen to these testimonies. And the level of feedback from people, from like real humans, real world people, was staggering.
I mean, people afterwards came up in tears sharing their story of how the system had let them down or a loved one down, misdiagnoses, like all the different issues that they've dealt with. trying to navigate this system.
And to the Senator's credit, you know, behind closed doors, they did say, you probably don't want to go ultra hard after the food industry or ultra hard after the pharmaceutical industry, because it may limit our ability to get things done. But they did. How do they phrase that? They just said you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar.
