0:00.0	Johnson and Johnson is the largest, costliest, and deadliest criminal conspiracies in American history.
0:08.1	Nothing else is close. They caused or contributed to the deaths of two million Americans.
0:14.9	Johnson and Johnson, according to grand jury documents that I have, which as you know, Josh, is really rare to have. They are very
0:23.1	secret. Johnson and Johnson's sales reps then went to psychiatrists with two messages. One was,
0:29.2	don't worry about killing your patients. No one will ever catch you. And the other was,
0:34.7	if you want to hide your tracks, diagnose these patients with late onset schizophrenia.
0:40.7	You and I both know that there is no such thing as late onset schizophrenia.
0:45.0	And that's when I realized, oh my God, this company is totally different than what I thought.

1:28.2	marketing, and it was a lie. All right, so we all grew up trusting the company that made baby
1:35.4	shampoo. We thought they were keeping us safe, but what if I told you the same company
1:40.4	was knowingly harming babies, women, cancer patients in the elderly for decades,
1:47.3	and they got away with it until today. Well, today we're going to expose the truth behind
1:52.7	the brand you thought you could trust. This is probably the most popular brand for babies
1:57.9	when I grew up and probably even today. And our interviewer is going to
