Quote, this is a very big deal. 114 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 4: But how kind of system are we living in? If 115 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: thousands of kids were abused, the government has videos of 116 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 4: the abusers, and yet none of the abusers are even 117 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 4: facing charges. Well that none of that is accurate, according 118 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: to everybody. 119 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that stuff happened, which I realize 120 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: is very angering for a lot of you. So there's 121 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: new polling on what y'all believe about this, with one 122 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: of the numbers that stands out is that two thirds 123 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: of all voters believe there is some sort of government cover. 124 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: Up going on with the Epstein thing. Two thirds. I'd 125 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: be a no on that. 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: This. 127 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: Here's one where I would be an outlier with all 128 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: y'all differentiating between cover up and not releasing everything. I 129 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: think there's stuff that's not being released for all kinds 130 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: of legitimate legal reasons, but covering up something that we 131 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 2: should know. 132 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: No, I don't believe that's happening. 133 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: You read my mind. 134 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 4: I was just about to say, I think there are 135 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 4: a lot of people interpreting the normal withholding of various 136 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: stuff while Julane Maxwell does her appeals process. And just 137 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 4: as we've talked about multiple times on the show, if 138 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,239 Speaker 4: you are investigated, but the investigatoris decide no, we can't 139 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: or shouldn't bring charges here, they don't release you know, 140 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: all the dirty laundry they uncovered of everybody they looked at. 141 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: If they're not going to file charges. 142 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: Well, I think it was Elon or somebody said yesterday, 143 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: so why is she in prison if there's nothing there? 144 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense? Well, yeah, does he was? He 145 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: was using under Age's. 146 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Not that there's nothing there at all, that's not the case. 147 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: Well right, but he was using underage girls for sex 148 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: and that's a crime, and she was involved because that 149 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: happened doesn't mean I mean, I don't know how you 150 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: get the leap that then that proves there's a nation 151 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: wide child sex pedal ring run by the Clintons and 152 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: the Obamas and Hollywood. 153 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: I mean, those are very different things. 154 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: And Epstein saw that his gallpal was just utterly nailed 155 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: to the wall. They prosecuted the crap out of her 156 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 4: one on all the major charges, and he knew what 157 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 4: his fate was going to be. So yeah, the idea 158 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: that there's nothing there, no, the other the king in 159 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 4: killed himself in a prison cell.

If there are other more immediate life threatening 332 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 6: factors like diabetes, doctors could consider prescribing these kinds of 333 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 6: drugs for kids as young as eight. 334 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: Wow. 335 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: Approving weight loss drugs for kids which could be perfectly 336 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 2: fine or really really not. And there's no flipping way 337 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: they know because they haven't been around and tried on kids. 338 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: They're just impossible to know. You'd need so many years 339 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: to know this, well, I don't know what I would do. 340 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: I'd need to have a really obese kid with dangerous 341 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: medical threat because of that before I'd be willing to 342 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 2: do this personally. Katie had this headline for US yesterday 343 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: and this kind of fits in with it. Maybe if 344 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: you're worried about having an overweight kid, you go ahead 345 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: and change the genetic makeup of the embryo so that 346 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: the kid is not predisposed to be obese. Is the 347 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: headline in the New York Times yesterday, Inside the Silicon 348 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: Valley push to breed super babies. 349 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 3: That's not a scary headline at all. 350 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: Oh geez, yeah, let's put Silicon Valley in charge of it, 351 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 4: including the ethics. 352 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Go ahead and teach us so wise ones. 353 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: Inside the Silicon Valley Push to breed super babies is 354 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 2: a hell of a headline. Investors say genetic prediction services 355 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: for embryos used by Elon Musk and others are a 356 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: trust fund for future children. Scientists are skeptical. We've talked 357 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 2: about this a lot. It's just going well, it's going 358 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: exactly where everybody thought it was going to go. And 359 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: of course it's happening with the super rich first. And 360 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 2: then the question here in the New York Times is 361 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: whether it becomes available to everybody over time. The idea 362 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: of genetic preselection around a whole bunch of different things, 363 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: and not just trying to eliminate some. 364 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: Of the worst ailments that could happen to kids. But 365 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: getting into. 366 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 2: Height, weight, hair, color, athletic ability, intelligence, all kinds of 367 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: different things. 368 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, all sorts of talents too. This is head and 369 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 4: straight in an HG. Wells direction of two distinct classes 370 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: of human beings, the proved and unimproved. 371 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: Right, especially if it becomes a you can do it, 372 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: if you can afford it, insurance doesn't cover. 373 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: Its situation, then you're exactly exactly what you're talking about. 374 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just would like you the improved class to 375 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: know that we're easily angered and we like guns. 376 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 2: So well, just just like, based on what you know 377 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: so far, would you be willing to do this? 378 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: Like people are already. 379 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: Doing whatever genetic modifications, for instance, to try to avoid 380 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: the genetic mutation that causes cystic fibrosis or Down syndrome 381 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: or a number of other things. Although even then you 382 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: don't really know if possibly there's some evolutionary reason for 383 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: Down syndrome to exist that we don't know about. But 384 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: I could certainly see why I would be willing to, 385 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: you know, take that gene out, so my kids much 386 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: less likely to have Down syndrome. 387 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 4: Right, And there are so many maladies that are just 388 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: terrible and the child suffers and the family suffers that. Yeah, 389 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 4: I would think let it exist over there. I want 390 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 4: to save my child from it if I can. Yeah, 391 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 4: that would be practically irresistible temptation, I think. I mean, 392 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: for instance, you know, clearly nobody knows what causes autism, 393 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 4: what's the genetic component of it. But you know, if 394 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 4: Judy and I were to have a fourth kid, it'd 395 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 4: be somebody else's or an immaculate conception as I have 396 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 4: been snipped. 397 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: But putting that. 398 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 2: Aside, you can get reversal. They can tie your tubes 399 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: back together. 400 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 401 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like my chances. It's been too long, 402 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: I think. Anyway, consult your local urologist, get a plumber. 403 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: But you know, if we could prevent autism, for instance, 404 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 4: I just assume. 405 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure not enough is known about autism at 406 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 2: this point to do that, but someday probably will be. 407 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: They're already working on genetic propensity for ailments such as 408 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: the super rich are to toward bipolar disorder, various kinds 409 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, obesity, schizophrenia, number of things like that. 410 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: I wonder if someday science will discover the awesomeness gene, 411 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 4: if there's a single gene that they realize is responsible 412 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 4: for awesomeness. 413 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: This general awesomeness. 414 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 4: Right, the more we study it, the more fascinating it becomes. 415 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: Apparently this gene dictates to a hundred other genes how 416 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 4: to be awesome. 417 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: God damn it, boy, if you get into that sort 418 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: of stuff, it's so difficult because like, I'm fairly happy 419 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: with the way things have turned out with me, for 420 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: like career wise, or ability to make a living wise. 421 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 2: But I've got all kinds of flaws that are included 422 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: in my mix of things that allow me to make 423 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: my way through life, you know, So which ones those 424 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: would it be a benefit to get rid of or 425 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 2: or somehow help me? 426 00:22:59,440 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 4: Then? 427 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: In ways I don't know, I don't know. Nobody knows 428 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 3: these things. 429 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 4: Right, what I would put it like this, nobody knows 430 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: the tales of the head's side of a lot of genes, right, 431 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 4: If you know what I mean, and we're you know, 432 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 4: this smacks so much of the utter hubris and stupidity 433 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 4: of so much science in the twentieth century, where we 434 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 4: quite literally learned just enough to be dangerous well, and 435 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 4: then strutted around as a people, as a scientific community, 436 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 4: pronouncing that we've figured it all out, when. 437 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: In fact we had just scratched the south. 438 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: That's exactly what I'm thinking. 439 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: When I hear that news report about obesity drugs for kids. 440 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: Many scientists say this. 441 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: Is fine, there's no way you know that, or where 442 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: other scientists are really worried about it. 443 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably should be right now. 444 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: At twenty five hundred dollars per embryo screening, on top 445 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: of the average twenty thousand dollars for a single cycle 446 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: of IVF that lots of people do. This social network 447 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: in Silicon Valley and other tech labs are going further 448 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: than that. For the super connected or wealthy, you buy 449 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: smart rings, consume boutique services like annual full body MRIs 450 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: for some reason, a lot of this could just be 451 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: completely bunk and just you know, milking rich people, which 452 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: is fine, Yeah, true, A brave new world of probabilistic 453 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: data driven medical decision making and all kinds of different 454 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: things to try to give your child a genetic edge 455 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: and a leg up when they come out of the womb. 456 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 4: Wow, cybermetrics comes to making babies. 457 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Right, Wow, I kind of like the old fashioned way. 458 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's to my mind, there's zero chance this is bad. 459 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: Ultimately, it's like zero. 460 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: What is bad? 461 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 2: Starting to genetically select all these different things and work 462 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 2: around evolution? You said there's zero chance that's bad. Isn't bad? 463 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: I left forward out. I guess this is this is 464 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: a bad idea. This is going to have negative results. Ultimately. 465 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: I think that's yeah, maybe into the world of nightmarish. 466 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I went with H. G. Wells earlier. 467 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 4: Let's say, sprinkle in a little bit of Mary Shelley 468 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 4: and Frankenstein as well, so we could be heading towards 469 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 4: some sort of two class full of genetic mistake, science 470 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 4: gone wild folks running around. 471 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: Hey, I tell you what. 472 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: Well, this company, Orchid, that has its meetings in Silicon 473 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: Valley with the super rich, including some of Elon Musk's 474 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: baby mama's at least one of Musk's fourteen children was 475 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: an Orchid client, according to people close to the company 476 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: speaking on condition of anonymity to The New York Times, 477 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: and that he selected for all of these different things 478 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: that I already that are mentioned in a way that 479 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: very few people have done anywhere in the world. So 480 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: how this is going to turn out we do not know, right, 481 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: but you are right about the whole. I mean, this 482 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 2: takes haves and have nots to a completely different level. 483 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: If you've got rich people who can have taller, better looking, 484 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 2: well that already happens just from an evolutionary standpoint, but taller, 485 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: better looking, faster, smarter, musically talented, all kinds of different 486 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: things kids in the way that other people can. 487 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 4: And knowing what you know about humanity again, what are 488 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 4: the chances that does not turn into virulent racism? All right, 489 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 4: on the part of the superior people who feel that 490 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 4: way because they are what's the word superior? 491 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 2: They genetically chose monsters, it'd be difficult to argue against it. Yeah, 492 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: I genetically chose, at the cost of a lot of 493 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: money and lots of scientists to have a superior child. 494 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: So yes, we are superior.
