talking railing talking about sort of railing it all and making you have all in and making sure you have the in place and it the safeguards in place and it was stephen hawking said was stephen hawking who said it's our greatest human achievement. i but also potentially the biggest existential you need existential threat. and you need to combine all those sort of thoughts with it to make that make sense . but right make sense. but you're right about whole of about the whole essence of humanity, because we have the ability now to live forever. you talk into talk about being uploaded into the where you can get the cloud where you can get a digital resurrection of yourself, in few yourself, and in the last few days, they talked about the beatles. john lennon's voice being synthesised. so you can get that the relevant song out now have yet another beatles release. reality that release. the reality is that holograms thames will be replacing human beings for part of our entertainment . it's of our entertainment. it's happening got happening already. we've got abba not too far from here doing the abba verse and can go the abba verse and you can go along watch that wonderful along and watch that wonderful performance they is performance that they do. but is there anything about that ? what there anything about that? what seems to be the proposed- seems to be the proposed totentiei— seems to be the proposed potential future that has the eeteeitw— potential future that has the eeteeitw to — potential future that has the capacity to make any actual numen— capacity to make any actual numen teme— capacity to make any actual human being happy? i mean, you teit— human being happy? i mean, you teit etout— human being happy? i mean, you talk about being— human being happy? i mean, you talk about being alive virtually

another year. let gavin newsom in california or some other , you in california or some other, you know, sort of candidate that's more realistic than rfk jr or marianne williamson . let someone marianne williamson. let someone else get ready . i mean, clearly, else get ready. i mean, clearly, newsom is running . else get ready. i mean, clearly, newsom is running. he's he's he's been draghi upping the hints. and i think you'll see him and to be fair, are the republic is in any better are they in much better shape, really? imean, they in much better shape, really? i mean, because the wnote— really? i mean, because the wnote tning— really? i mean, because the whole thing is— ”tintitllyt7’ i mean, because the whole thing is beginning to look like whole thing is beginning to look iite e— whole thing is beginning to look iite e etown— whole thing is beginning to look like a clown show. t/tiutit" �*titti�*tii�* like a clown show. yeah. when you— like a clown show. yeah. when you have too many people piling on, you've now got, you know, 8 or 9 candidates that have announced. that's not that's not good. right? because you to good. right? because you need to consolidate around consolidate ultimately around 1 or and that's important . but or 2. and that's important. but it's early and it's a great bench. you know, any number of those candidates would good those candidates would be good presidents. would argue for presidents. i would argue for ron desantis, number one, of course. but, you know , mike course. but, you know, mike pence, haley, tim scott, pence, nikki haley, tim scott, these are all good people and good candidates . and i think good candidates. and i think that so the republicans have a much bigger bench. the democrats really don't have a bench. i mean, you have two fringe

candidates. you know, rfk, jr seems a good guy. he polls seems like a good guy. he polls very well in terms of his favourables people like him. but you know, is a fringe you know, he is a fringe candidate. he's polling at 20. marianne williamson , who's a marianne williamson, who's a fringe candidate , is fringe year candidate, is polling ten. so you have an polling at ten. so you have an incumbent president that's only polling at 70 in his own party, and 70% of americans don't want him to run again. that's not a good sign. anytime a president that's an incumbent, polls below 90, he loses. so isn't it better tnen— 90, he loses. so isn't it better men to— 90, he loses. so isn't it better men to mete— 90, he loses. so isn't it better then to make that— 90 so isn't it better then to make that decision guiettve— then to make that decision quickly? you're— then to make that decision quickly? you're going to have to jump— quickly? you're going to have to jump. _ quickly? you're going to have to jump. -i'ust_ quickly? you're going to have to iumtl -iuet run- quickly? you're going to have to jump. _just run out. quickly? you're going to have to jump. _just run out ofl jump in. we're just run out of time yes i would time tactically. yes i would just just say the just say i would just say the bonfire keeps raging at the moment. yeah. it'sjust bonfire keeps raging at the moment. yeah. it's just it's not going— moment. yeah. it's just it's not going away.— moment. yeah. it's just it's not going away. and— moment. yeah. it's just it's not going away. and this- / it'sjust it's not going away. and this might have been— going away. and this might have been-g...— going away. and this might have been-straw, this- been the last straw, this indictment.— been the last straw, this indictment. be been the last straw, this- indictment. _be they'll indictment. they'll be they'll be-back— indictment. they'll be they'll be - back from - indictment. they'll be they'll. be-back from .greg be pushed back from this. greg| smog—very swenson, again, thank you very much—to- swenson, again, thank you very much—to be- swenson, again, thank you veryi much _to be here. much for your time to be here. neg. — much for your time to be here. neg. coming— much for your time to be here. neal. coming-we'll- much for your time to be here. neal. coming-we'll be- much for your time to be here. neal. coming we'll be joined neal. coming up, we'll be joined by a palaeontologist from portsmouth who's portsmouth university who's going about truly going to tell us about a truly remarkable find the isle of remarkable find on the isle of wight

live. and now , as we say, for live. and now, as we say, for something completely different, a 127 million year old fossil of something called a side necked turtle, the first found to have lived in the united kingdom has been discovered on the coast of the isle of wight . the fossil the isle of wight. the fossil has been nicknamed barbie after fossil enthusiasts steve burbridge, who found it at brooke bay on the south—west coast . palaeontologist megan coast. palaeontologist megan jacobs from the university of portsmouth analysed the fossil and confirmed it to be the earliest of the side necked turtles . she joins me now. megan turtles. she joins me now. megan are you there .7 this is this is are you there? this is this is this kind of hello it's lovely to have you. i love stories like this. they just hunt when someone says 127 million years old that my head opens like a flip top bin and my brain comes out on a spring. but tell me, as a scientist, what is the significance of this find . so .
