NEW DEBATE.
A NEW POLL REVEALS HOW AMERICANS
FEEL ABOUT SOCIALISM.
THE RESULTS MAY SURPRISE YOU.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, 36%
THING, UP FROM 20% IN AUGUST OF
2012.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IN
PHILANTHROPIST AND THE CHAIRMAN
ONE OF THE ULTIMATE CAPITALISTS
OUT THERE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>> WHEN I THINK ABOUT CAPITALISM
I THINK ABOUT FREE ENTERPRISE
AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT PEOPLE
HAVE TO SUCCEED.
AND THE PROMISE OF AMERICA WAS
THIS AMERICAN DREAM, A CHANCE TO
SUCCEED BASED ON YOUR ABILITY,
NOT YOUR RELIGION, NOT WHETHER
YOU'RE A MAN OR WOMAN, NOT WHERE
YOU WENT TO SCHOOL, NOT WHERE
YOU WERE BORN.
AND THAT OPPORTUNITY IS KEY FOR
EVERYONE TO FEEL PARTICIPATION
IN SOCIETY.
IT'S REALLY THE FREE ENTERPRISE
SYSTEM AND OUR COUNTRY WE HAVE
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
ENTREPRENEURS, AS THEY DO IN
CHINA AND AROUND THE WORLD.
THEY'RE GOING TO CREATE THE JOBS
OF THE FUTURE AND THE BUSINESSES
OF THE FUTURE.
MARIA: DOES IT SURPRISE YOU
WE'RE HAVING THIS DEBATE ABOUT
SOCIALISM.
INCREASE THE GOVERNMENT'S POWER
THE GOVERNMENT GIVING EVERYTHING
HAVE THESE PERIODS OF
DISRUPTION, TECHNOLOGY AND WHAT
HAS CHANGED.
LET'S TAKE THE MEDIA INDUSTRY.
WHEN I FIRST MET YOU A FEW
DECADES AGO.
MARIA: YES, IT WAS.
ROSS AND WE WERE THINKING ABOUT
OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF
THE DVD.
WELL, THE STORAGE CAPABILITIES,
IT TOOK TWO DVDs, BOTH SIDES.
WOULD A PERSON WATCH A MOVIE,
TAKE IT OUT, PUT ANOTHER ONE IN,
WATCH IT, TURN IT OVER.
TODAY SOUTH KOREA IS PROJECTING
THAT THEY CAN DOWNLOAD A MOVIE
IN ONE SECOND.
MARIA: WOW.
ONE SECOND.
>> THE SAME THING OCCURS IN
MEDICAL.
SO WHEN I WAS PUTTING FORTH THIS
IDEA, WHAT SHOULD EAT, HOW YOU
LIVE, WHAT YOU DRINK, LIFESTYLE,
ET CETERA, WAS AFFECTING YOUR
HEALTH.
THE ANSWER 25 YEARS AGO WAS
PROVEN.
WELL, NO ONE CAN PROVE IT.
YOU COULDN'T SEQUENCE.
COMPUTERS WEREN'T FAST ENOUGH,
JUST LIKE DATA STORAGE.
WELL, TODAY, 25 YEARS LATER, FOR
AND WE CAN KNOW HOW YOU'RE BEING
AFFECTED.
HEALTH TODAY IN MANY AREAS,
WHETHER IT'S HEART DISEASE,
WHETHER IT'S CANCER, THE TWO
MAJOR CAUSES OF DEATH, OR OTHER
YOUR MICRO BIOME AND YOU CAN
CHANGE IT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF
OVER $1 BILLION.
$10.
THIS DATA WILL ALLOW US TO
DRAMATICALLY CHANGE HOWEVER
SINGLE PERSON IS TREATED WITH
NOT JUST PRECISION MEDICINE E.
MEASURING YOUR DISEASE AND THEN
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS
AGAINST IT, BUT PRECISION
HEALTH, SEEING HOW YOU'RE LIVING
YOUR LIFE, CHANGING WHAT YOU'RE
EATING, THE WHOLE FOOD CHAIN AND
SEEING IF THAT MOVES YOU INTO
PREVENTION.
MARIA: THIS IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT POINT YOU'RE MAKING.
I WANT TO DRILL DOWN ON IT A
BIT.
CANCER.
WE CHANGED OUR BEHAVIOR
AND SMOKE LESS.
WE LEARNED HOW DIABETES AND
HEART DISEASE CAN OCCUR AND WE
CHANGED OUR DIET.
WE HAVEN'T LEARNED AS MUCH ABOUT
THE BRAIN, ALZHEIMER'S AND TELL
US WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE
LAST 25 YEARS.
WE'RE LIVING LONGER.
THE LONGEVITY TREND, TELL US HOW
WE GOT HERE.
>> FIRST, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE
THAT THE NUMBER ONE GROWTH
ENGINE FOR THE WORLD'S ECONOMY
IN THE LAST 200 YEARS HAS BEEN
MEDICAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC
HEALTH.
SO WE HAVE DOUBLED LIFE EXEC
TAKEN SIGH
LIKEN SIGH
LIFEN SIGH
LIFEEXSIGH
LIFEEXPEGH
LIFEEXPECTANCY ON THE PLANET INO
LIFEEXPECTANCY ON THE PLANET INE
CENTURY.
IN 1900 THE AVERAGE LIFE
EXPECTANCY ON THE PLANET WAS 31
YEARS OF AGE.
ONE IN FIVE AMERICANS LOST THEIR
LIVES BEFORE FIVE YEARS OF AGE.
TODAY YOU MOVED TO 62, 63.
THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN
EXPECTANCY FROM LOW 40s TO
MID-70s IN JUST A COUPLE
GENERATIONS.
IT WAS DONE IN 2003, COMPLETED.
BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW -- WE WEREN'T
WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND SAID
SO TODAY YOU KNOW TODAY, FOR
EXAMPLE, THAT 28% OF PROSTATE
CANCERS HAVE A CERTAIN MUTATION.
BUT 90% OF ALL COLON CANCER HAS
THAT SAME MUTATION.
SO IF YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY DEAL
WITH THAT MUTATION IN PROSTATE
CANCER, YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH GOING
TO ELIMINATE COLON CANCER AS A
CAUSE OF DEATH.
SO WE USED TO THINK OF ALL THESE
IT SEEMS NAIVE TO ASSUME YOU CAN
HAVE A MUTATION THAT CAN ONLY GO
TO YOUR BREAST OR ONLY GO TO
YOUR PROSTATE OR YOUR COLON.
NOW WE SEE FOR EXAMPLE IN
PROSTATE CANCER, THE MUTATIONS
APPEAR IN 81 OTHER FORMS OF
CANCER.
SO WHEN YOU SOLVE THEM FOR
PROSTATE CANCER, THIS MUTATION,
YOU'LL SOLVE THEM FOR OTHER
CANCERS ALSO.
MARIA: WE SPOKE EARLIER, I WAS
SAYING WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR
PROSTATE CANCER IN TERMS OF
FORCING THE DOCTORS TO SHARE THE
RESEARCH --
>> THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND FASTER
CURES FOR ALL DISEASES.
