Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien

SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 (2x2)

Air date: Sep 16, 2017

First, a report out of Wisconsin on an upcoming Supreme Court on partisan gerrymandering, when state lawmakers draw district lines to give their party – Republican or Democrat – an advantage in state elections. Then, journalist and author Sam Quinones, who spent five years studying the opioid crisis across America, joins Soledad O’Brien to explain his observance of a medical system out of whack and the need to address the immediate crisis. And are we living in a fantasy-land? Author Kurt Anderson says yes and that it’s the logical progression of America’s timeline.
