cancer goes to the very question that you asked. can we boost the immune system? the way we think about it now, we, societyh toxins could we actually cause the immune system to do what it was built to do or evolve to do in the first place customer can we take the brakes off that it attacks the tumor as intended. that is beginning to work in an untold way. the winner of the nobel was james allison, he wrote in the book that if you give a certain kind of molecule to a mouse then at the time into a human, you can affect -- i will oversample fight, attached to the molecules in the immune system and cause them to attack which they had attacked before. in jason's case, the rates have been put on the immune system. i'm happy to answer why that happened but the drugs are able to pull the brakes off in a boost the immune system. it comes with tremendous risk. we boost immune system to invite all the things that can happen when you get an over zealous. >> in a particular tumor they'll find the mechanics of the immune system that will attack it but insufficiently so and amplify that. is that something dashes that the

times when these are internally created problems by divisions in society with new technology and anger, corruption, which is the cancer of developing countries, some developed. and then there really are also issues in terms of what is happening from the outside. and frankly, with the end of the cold war, which had frozen the ground on a lot of ethnic conflicts and disputes, and they got defrosted and the worms started crawling around. so, it was possible for an outside force to get people stirred up. so, it is the outside and the inside that is part of the issue. and the inside, and obviously, i was delighted to serve on this task force, and a lot of good thinking on this, but in terms of the importance of civil society. i'm chairman of the board of the national democratic institute. governance is essential, and this is -- there need to be some outside advisors, the nuts and bolts of how to do it, but it does have to come from the inside, and getting people motivated to really deal with their own problems, not feel that they are being told what to do, but understand that they are part of how to solve it. but it is tha

society where population is aging. there is going to be increased lifestyle diseases, cardiovascular cancer, lung cancer.alth care infrastructure will definitely continue, and we are well placed to participate. david: your priority is to save lives. at the same time, there is a uestion of "at what cost." a lot of concern about the increase in cost of health care. as you look at the innovations, which are most likely to bend the cost curve, if any? first of all, i would like to say we have embraced what is called value-based care. improveprove outcomes, the staff and patient experience, and become more productive. in our contract with health care providers, we are prepared to go at risk. in other words, we will put our money where our mouth is and help hospital systems to embrace technology to become more productive. it is my conviction that a 20%, 30% productivity gain with the current system is possible. payback for the use of technology can raise outcomes. i think technology, and especially big data and ai, can help doctors and nurses take care of more patients at lower cost. telehealth.ble for many il

politics are played in our society and the demonization, they buried governor romney as a result of an offshore account and told people on false ads he was giving women cancerchigan. so they deformed and destroyed romney's ability to define himself and one thing about president trump. he knows how to define himself. you have to make a decision if you want to vote for that or not. but he's not releasing his tax returns. i don't think anywhere near him. i think supreme court will rule that way. >> we may find out. bernie sanders like president trump sort of has an impenetrable base. releasing his taxes now the people know his wealth. is it going to affect his base? >> absolutely not. i have started to say that bernie sanders has woke immunity. anything that would be demanded of other candidates within the democratic field such as his hiring practices and the way women are treated on his campaign or his tax returns and how much of a benefit he's going to get from the trump tax cuts, that bernie sanders is simply immune to criticism from his hard core base. >> there's a gop primary bid against president trump. he joined our colleagues on "morning joe" and the l

cancers, all of those things. >> tucker: you are fluent in the terms of science. how do you feel when you start feeling politicians discuss scientific issues with theological terms? talking about the morality of your societynd making claims to their own virtue, does not make you uncomfortable? >> i'm an economist, actually, so i look at what the scientists are telling us. global warming is a problem, but it's also a moderate one. by the end of the century, global warming will cost somewhere between 2-4% of global gdp. by then, we will be about ten times richer per person, so 1000% richer, then we will have to pay 2-4%. that's a problem, not the end of the world. we have to go morally do something that is cutting out meat or not driving your car or something in order to pacify this problem. they are simply talking against a better opportunity of actually dealing with this problem. it's not going to happen. you can tell people. what you need to do is focus on technology. everyone have had many problems in thehe past. we have not solve those problems by telling people could you please do it with less? what we have done is through technology enabled people to do more with less. actually be better off with tec

cancer and was opposed to assisted suicide. she joins us today from down in florida. tom shakily is the chief engagement officer at americans united for life and member of the american society50u789s and dennis is a former new york state attorney general who argued a landmar land suicide physician assisted case. what do you make of the fact that governor cuomo is now saying yeah, let's pass this bill? i will sign it. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. i think the governor says it all when he says that this is a complicated and difficult issue. but it's a complicated and difficult issue that is not solved by physician assisted suicide. i think it's wrong policy. the supreme court in 1997, in the balko vs. quill which is the case i argued no constitutionally right to physician assisted suicide. the supreme court did say that the body politic, the laboratory of the states. the legislatures across the united states should decide this issue. interestingly since 1997, 22 years only seven states have embraced this concept. i think it's because it's simply wrong-headed policy. steve: we have a screen that shows that have passed assisted suicide. you see politics here wit
