crisis i wanted to look closely at the perpetrators so i was very interested in the family who owned purdue pharma connecticut pharmaceutical company that a lot of people with the tip of this. of the crisis the drug that started this on the road to where we are today. it is not in opioid crisis per se it's a broad look of three generations of the families of family saga there is also two things in the history of this family that help explain the ways in which our treatment of pain and use of medicine has been hijacked by commerce and big pharma that's an origin story for the opioid crisis, tilted the lens of this one particular family. >> eric can you tell us a story of death of mod like and what made you write this account for the fight for justice patrick under patrick's book focuses on the causes and yours seems to describe your facts, tell us about death of mud lick. >> sure i'm also honored to be here with you, such incredible work with epidemic and i have a confession to make when i saw patrick coming out and i knew everything about the opioid epidemic i was totally wrong he has revel

and this happened with purdue. corporation pleads guilty and agrees to pay a big fine, but there's no individuals charged at all, and it sort of begs the question to the man on the street. you know, mou can a corporation are pleading guilty to things that no individuals did anything wrong. in my book. i say it's almost like a driverless car. that they could have engaged in this misconduct without any human agency. i am afraid that's the way it works. you can contrast that when street level drug dealers sell heroin or sell fentanyl. these people, often of color, are held to account when people take those drugs and die for distributing them and sent away to prison for years. we don't see that in the corporate context and what i worry about looking forward, looking at the next crisis is what kind of a deterrent is it to people if they know that there's millions, billions of dollars to be made and in the event that there's really negative downstream consequences, human costs of their bad decisions that they won't ever

are you going to run for governor, david purdue? where is david purdue? stand up, david.avid purdue. >> so if trump decides to campaign against kemp in favor of purdue or anyone other than kemp, what kind of problem might this create, or, you know, perhaps it's going to be in the win category for the republican running in georgia? >> there's a lot to hash out here, and former president trump has not stopped campaigning. he has had it in for governor kemp ever since he did not buy into his fraudulent, the election was stolen from me. governor kemp, as you said, who won over abrams by a mere 55,000 votes, pundits are saying that if it were the two of them in the race today, it would certainly be a toss-up because of that. then there's a possibility of former senator david purdue entering the race, competing for the gop nomination, with the backing of president trump. have we heard anything from david purdue lately? not really, but there have been discussions, and a lot of behind-the-scenes activity. so this is truly a possibility. then you have democrat-turned republican, v

here are three, former senator david purdue.u got in, because governor kemp, in my view, and i've been saying this, cannot win. he has lost confidence. you know i lived in georgia for a while, he's lost confidence from all my friends in georgia. and you have their confidence. now this is good for you and it's good for herschel walker. tell us about why youon got in. >> i got into stop stacey abrams and save our state. it is a sad state of affairs that our current governor has lost the confidence of many republicans. but shawn, i'm excited but this has been a great day since our announcement this morning this is my first interview. as he said, just a few minutes ago, donald trump has given us his full endorsement in our campaign. and if you will permit me, i need your doers to joinn donald trump and me tonight and helping us stop stacey abrams. she wants to transform our state into another failed to state like california -- you heard all the news about san francisco just now. that is what he wants to bring to georgia.al i'm going

i've actually been to the purdue coordinating office. i'm actually a purdue alumni myself. my ph.d. in mechanical engineering from there. i was able to go in 2019 and visit. i met the director anti-principal investigator. they gave me a wonderful presentation on all the great things that they are doing to coordinate all the different kinds of research that we are doing on earthquakes, on wind, and on water events across the varies networks. this facility, this piece of the narrative facility really points out and emphasizes the strength of n.s.f. which is to bring all the disciplines together. we fund basic research across all the different science and engineering disciplines. and we are -- one of our 10 big ideas is in increasing convergence research which is really taking interdisciplinary research up a notch to the next level to really be able to do big things that no discipline can do by itself. the other thing that i want to point out about that particular rotation at purdue is the education and work force piece. everything we fund at n.s.f. integrates research with education,

if the sacklers and purdue appeal in the second circuit, we will beat them there.supreme court, we will beat them there to. there is no justice and no accountability in the steel. let's just be clear, you said in the open segment that the sacklers took out roughly 11 billion dollars. i'm sure it's a lot more than that. but let's assume for a second that is the right number. under this deal, they say they are going to pay 4.2 billion. but they will pay that over nine years. let me tell you what that means. what that means is that the sacklers are going to pay just about 5% on their money for nine years and then they buy themselves a lifetime of immunity. i pay more than 5% on my car payment. and as far as i can tell, while people are dying here in connecticut and across the country because of their craving greed, not a single sackler will have to sell a boat or house or piece of art or a piece of jewelry. they will feel no pain. while thousands of people across this country are dying. >> all right connecticut tierney, william tong, will have to leave it at that. tha

so to david purdue. they would say, yeah, okay. well, biden what? fair and square.not what the base thinks. >> right. >> and they are afraid of the base. and some of them are happy to take advantage of the base to advance their careers. which is where i think i put purdue in this one. >> and again, i mean, one of the ironies here. you have all the states that take the extraordinary measures to make voting easier because we are in the midst of a pandemic. and in this context, the republican party does fine. well in certain ways. they won a bunch of congressional races they didn't think they would win. it's not like this idea that they have is just not even imperically correct, if everyone votes we toast. it's a very competitive party. there's a lot of conservatives in america. what will they do with the power. will they foreclose the ability to run free and fair eelections in the future. you have this crazy thing where the stakes of the normal election become at risk are. >> if you have to worry about one party will do the third time it has gotten in to power with th

its their company purdue pharma behind oxycontin, the highly addictive painkiller.against any future lawsuits in exchange, in part, the sacklers had to pay more than $4 billion to opioid victims and charities. but a federal judge is now overturning that deal. and as cnn's tom foreman reports, one attorney general who pushed for this reversal is calling the decision a seismic victory for justice. >> reporter: the federal court ruling upends a sweeping settlement of the bankruptcy of purdue pharma. a deal that would have cost the owners, the sackler family, billions of dollars while shielding them from future civil lawsuits that could have cost even more. the judge said the bankruptcy court that approved that arrangement did not have the authority. >> a judge overseeing that looked at it and said that doesn't make any sense. they didn't declare bankruptcy themselves. so they shouldn't be released from any future liability by this bankruptcy judge. >> reporter: many states accepted the bankruptcy deal. others are cheering its repudiation. this is a size mick victory fo

it would have protected purdue's primary owner, the sackler family. purdue declared bankruptcy in 2019 which put thousands of lawsuits on hold. now in a statement, california's attorney general said too many california communities have unfairly paid the price for their willful misconduct and the bankruptcy plan would have allowed them to exchange money for lifetime immunity falling short of true accountability. >>> thousands of people in tahoe are spending a second night without heat and electricity after that monster winter storm. >> i have a huge pile of wood behind me i haven't used. i have a really big stove and was able to get the house warm. >> that's a good way to do it. >> that would be no fun. >> you have to be prepared because when the snow comes it comes in feet and with strong winds. what a difference it makes for the ski resorts. a week ago, we were talking about a couple open and they had maybe a foot of mostly machine-made snow. maybe a lift open. now, sugar bowl has a foot of new snow. the base is four to five feet. and, powdery condit

and faced with that onslaught of lawsuits, purdue pharma filed for bankruptcy in 2019. it became apparent that the sacklers siphoned off $10 billion from the company following the guilty plea in 2007. now here's the thing. after a long process, a federal judge in december approved a deal that not only allowed purdue pharma to file for bankruptcy, but it served as a settlement for hundreds and hundreds of lawsuits against the company with the sackler family personally contributing towards that settlement. one caveat that angered several of these states and victims of this crisis, the bankruptcy deal, it would shield the sacklers personally from civil litigation in exchange for that $4.5 billion contribution they would have to make. now, after a group of those dissenting states and localities appealed that bankruptcy deal, a federal judge in new york city just this month vacated it, saying that the provision protecting members of the family from civil litigation made the deal null and void. attorney general merrick garland applauded the judge's decision. in fact, he said,

donald trump issued a statement immediately endorsing david purdue and attacking brian kemp. the statement said next to nothing about david purdue and was entirely devoted to attacking brian kemp. while the republicans spend the next several months attacking each other in georgia stacey abrams will be trying to register more voters and assure them of their voting rights in georgia. the "new york times" reports her candidacy ensures voting rights will remain at the center of the political conversation in democratic circles and in georgia where republicans enacted a sweeping law of voting restrictions this year. ms. abrams' campaign also carries historic significance if she is successful she would become the first black governor of georgia and the first black woman to serve as governor of any state. here is some of what stacey abrams told rachel maddow last week. >> my mission is service. and to serve people you have to care about them. you have to care about all of them. i've spent my time doing what i can to serve georgia whether that was expanding access to vaccines, paying

one company that has received much of the blame for the crisis is purdue pharma. the maker of oxycontin, in 2019 produce, sought bankruptcy protection as it faced thousands of lawsuits claiming the company pushed doctors to prescribe oxycontin through the bankruptcy court. purdue was set to work out a deal with its creditors. members of the sackler family who owned the company would give up ownership, which would transform it into a different kind of entity that would still sell opioids. but with profits being used to fight the crisis, would also develop new anti addiction and anti overdose drugs and provide them at little or no cost. sackler family members also would contribute $4500000000.00 in cash and charitable assets, as part of the overall deal that could be worth $10000000000.00, including the value of the new drugs. if they're brought to market. in return, members of the wealthy family would get protection from lawsuits over their role in the opioid crisis. now, a federal judge has rejected the settlement, citing the provision that would protect members o

here is purdue making a fool of himself and has no shame and this is what fascinates me. i wonder what in the hell is worth debasing yourself to this point. >> yeah, our viewers are going to get tired of us saying it. the voting in state of georgia was counted three times by republicans, secretary of state by his team and including one by hand, joe biden won every time. i had the same thought and i had it so many times the last few years, what is a job's worth, how do you look at yourself in the mirror and how do you tell your kids yes, i don't believe it's true but i am going to say it anyway because i need to become the governor and united states senators. these guys have been successful on their own, you can go run a business or work at a law firm. what is worth this? how can you put yourself up and totally compromise yourself and tell a lie every time you open your mouth because that's the foundation of purdue's campaign. we know it was not fraudulent and in georgia where the votes was counted three times. >> there is a little bit of hope in arizona where the board of
