| 0:00.0 | J.B., my man, thank you. I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Primetime. One of the most trusted name brands in America is being held liable for its role in the opioid crisis. We have never had a judicial decision. We have settlements, but never something like this. A judge saying, yes, you broke the law with how you sell your drugs. |
| 0:23.1 | We have the man behind the fight in Oklahoma and the member of the office who argued the case. |
| 0:28.6 | Couldn't have better guests. |
| 0:29.9 | Let's talk about the basis and what this means for the rest of the country. |
| 0:33.5 | Also, a 2020 high popper. |
| 0:35.6 | One new poll shows a three-way tie for the lead in the Democratic race. |

| 1:36.3 | It was a bench trial. |
| 1:37.2 | It was a judge. |
| 1:37.9 | And it makes history in Oklahoma. |
| 1:40.5 | And in fact, in this country, it could have major implications all over America for other drug makers. |

| 1:52.2 | This is the first case of its kind. We've never had anything like it before. |
