This is an iHeart podcast.
When news broke earlier this year that baby KJ, a newborn in Philadelphia, had successfully received the world's first personalized gene editing treatment.
It represented a milestone for both researchers and patients.
But there's a gripping tale of discovery behind this accomplishment and its creators.
I'm Evan Ratliff, and together with biographer Walter Isaacson, we're delving into the story of Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna, the woman who's helped change the trajectory of humanity.

All right, news roundup information overload hour, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
I think we thoroughly defeated, debunked, and dismantled the lie that I was somehow in a text to then chief of staff Mark Meadows on January 6th, giving different messages on my radio and TV program.
We proved that wrong again and again and again.
They couldn't have been more wrong.
Far worse than that is what they're doing to Congressman Mark Meadows.
Now, the Federalist picked this up.
God bless them.
I think it was Sean Davis.
Correct me, Linda, if I'm wrong.
Adam Schiff, I can't, what did I say?
The corrupt congenital liar.
This guy lied about Russia, still lying about Russia, lies in his book about Russia.
Basically, every time he opens his mouth, he's lying.
Anyway, so his staff doctored a message between Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, who will join us in a minute, along with Jim Banks, and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
The House January 6th committee had to admit all of this.
Jordan forwarded to Meadows a three-paragraph legal summary from an attorney summarizing a four-page legal memorandum that this guy had written regarding congressional certification of the 2020 presidential electoral vote count in a statement to the Federalist, a Democratic spokesperson that, I mean, they're caught red-handed.
So they had to confess and admit it.
Quote, the select committee on Monday created and provided Representative Schiff a graphic to use during the business meeting quoting from a text message from a lawmaker to Mr. Meadows.
The spokesperson wrote, quote, the graphic read on January 6, 2021.
Vice President Mike Pence, as president of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.
In the graphic, the select committee at the end of the sentence was added inadvertently, the spokesperson admitted.
They didn't explain how one could inadvertently cut a sentence in half and eliminate the final two paragraphs of a detailed legal summary, nor did they explain why Schiff attributed the content of the text to Jim Jordan and call him a lawmaker rather than Schmitz, who's the attorney who wrote the thing.
I mean, it's just never-ending, non-stop lying.
And all of this comes down to one thing, and we're going to be joined by Jim Jordan and Jim Banks in a minute.
Once they were kicked off this January 6th committee, it was over.
This now was the cast was die, feta complete.
It's now witch hunt number what, 5.0, because they lied for three plus years.
And one of the biggest liars in Congress is Adam Schiff himself.
It's repulsive.
How this man is still in Congress is a question in and of itself.
Anyway, Jim Banks of Indiana is with us.
Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio is with us.
Welcome both of you to the program.
Good morning, Sean.
Jim Jordan, because I guess this deals with you, I'll give you the first crack at this, but your friend Adam Schiff is caught lying again.
That's why I call him the congenital liar.
Yep.
No, I mean, if anyone had any, you were right on your opening thing, Sean, but if anyone had any doubt about this, this 1.6 committee and about just it being pure political, I think this just erases, this just confirms how bad this thing is because they altered a document.
They altered a document, presented it to the American people as something different than it was.
And this is, remember the history, as you put, this is the guy who did the quote parody when he started the Ukrainian impeachment on President Trump.
This is the guy who told us for years that there was more than circumstantial evidence that President Trump colluded with Russia.
Only we all knew that wasn't the case, but it's now been confirmed that we were right about everything.
You were right about everything, Sean.
In fact, so much so that the Washington Post had to apologize for things that they reported back then.
But they're the only ones, and it was, but it was ABC, NBC, CBS, MSDNC, CNN, everybody.
The New York Times got two Pulitzers on their phony reporting.
Yeah, yeah.
The country gets it, though.
The country knows that this is a sham.
And what they did to our friend, a good man, what they did to Mark Meadows yesterday, and I said this on the floor, make no mistake, this was an effort to try to put Mark Meadows in prison.
That's how their lust for power is so strong that they're willing to do things like that, alter documents, go after good people.
And the country, again, I think the country sees it for what it is, and they're going to make a big change come next November.
I agree with that aspect, too.
Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana, were you ever given official reasons why you guys were removed from the committee and then replaced by the two biggest Republican Trump haters in the House, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger?
No, Sean, of course not.
But the answer was obvious.
Jim Jordan and I were the ones who were right from the start asking the obvious questions about the breakdown of security at the Capitol.
And the breadcrumbs all lead to Nancy Pelosi's office.
And when we started asking those questions, right after Kevin McCarthy, the leader, appointed the two of us to lead the Republican effort on the committee, when we started asking those questions, that's when Nancy Pelosi knocked us off of the committee.
And if you listen to the hour-long debate on the floor yesterday about the contempt of Mark Meadows, there was absolutely not a single word spoken by the Democrats about security at the Capitol.
It was all about political payback.
It was all about abusing their power to tear down their opponents, send Mark Meadows to jail, send any Republican to jail that gets in their way.
That's what it's all about for them.
They're not just actively ignoring the breakdown of security.
By the way, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, she has oversight of the U.S. Capitol Police.
They're not just actively ignoring it.
They're covering it up.
There was a bipartisan Senate report that came out of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and the only person who didn't cooperate with what they were doing was the sergeant-at-arms who was appointed by Nancy Pelosi and emails and documents that they had access to that they have on their computers about why the National Guard wasn't alerted, why they didn't exercise the, didn't take advantage of all of the intelligence they had about what was going to happen on January 6th, the breakdown of the leadership of the Capitol Police.
The only people who didn't cooperate on that bipartisan report was Nancy Pelosi's office, and that's why they're actively ignoring that subject again yesterday and throughout this entire process.
So in my view, we've got to have a real committee doing a real investigation.
You mentioned last night on my television show that that would be going.
I would time the release of the real report that look, we can't have attacks on our institutions like happened on January 6th.
I said it live on this program when it was happening.
I said it January 6th that evening in no uncertain terms on my program on TV.
But we also need an investigation into the 574 riots over the summer of 2020 that the media mob said were mostly peaceful and they weren't, and that Democrats pretty much ignored completely except for when they were helping out bail funds like Kamala Harris, Jim Jordan.
Will you put together an alternative committee with an alternative report?
Yeah, investigate the investigators.
No, you're exactly right.
And understand what you point out, Sean, and what Jim's pointed out.
We've been consistent.
Republicans have been consistent.
We have condemned violence every time it happened.
When it happened on January 6th, we condemned it.
When it happened in the summer of 2020, we condemned it then as well.
It would be nice if Democrats would have been consistent with us and condemned the violence that took place that summer.
Instead, what they've been doing, this is scary.
They've been weaponizing the government.
Ten years ago, it was the IRS who went after conservatives around the country who were speaking out against policies of President Obama.
They targeted him.
Lois Lerner in the IRS.
Five years ago, they abused the FISA process.
The FBI targeted President Trump and spied on his campaign.
Two months ago, we learned what?
The DOJ is using the counterterrorism division at the FBI to what?
Spy on moms and dad.
So, and now yesterday, now yesterday they weaponized Congress' contempt that this resolution to go after a good man.
So, that is the pattern when the left has power, when the left controls government.
And that's what the American people are going to throw out, not to mention all the other things they've screwed up with, with economic policy, with the border, and everything else.
So, yeah, I think a big day is coming in November of next year.
What's your take, Congressman Banks?
And can you time the release of the real report with this phony, abusively corrupt and biased report of this, you know, Liz Cheney, I want to purge the Republican Party of all things Donald Trump committee?
Yes, absolutely, Sean.
That's exactly what we're doing.
We're interviewing Capitol Police officers.
There was actually a Capitol Police officer, whistleblower, came forward that the Pelosi shift Cheney January 6th committee ignored.
We've spent time with him and have interviewed him about his point of view.
It's also important to point out the rank-and-file membership of the United States Capitol Police had a vote of no confidence in their leadership.
And it was like over 90% of the rank-and-file members of the Capitol Police voted against their leadership because they've been crying out for help.
They've been begging Congress to act, people in leadership, to do something about the systemic breakdown of leadership and security at the Capitol.
They know better than anybody, Sean, that the United States Capitol is no safer today than what it was on January 6th because these guys have been focused on tearing down their political enemies and the witch hunt that they're engaging in.
They haven't done anything since January 6th, almost a year, to actually look into ways that we can prevent another January 6th from happening.
It's been all about tearing down their opponents and sending guys like Mark Meadows to jail.
What does Mark Meadows do from here, Jim Jordan?
I mean, obviously he's being targeted unfairly.
He tried to cooperate with the committee.
There is something called executive privilege.
Now, the reason we have executive privilege is people need to be able to give their honest, straightforward advice to a president of the United States without fear that what they advise may come back to bite them at some point.
That will inhibit the ability of the president to get real, serious, significant advice on very tough issues that he will face in office.
And I can't believe we're not respecting executive privilege.
No, you're exactly right, Sean.
I said it yesterday.
The reason we have it, the reason it's there, the reason the court, the Supreme Court has recognized it, is because it's good for us.
It's good for we, the people.
It's good for the country.
It's not about President Trump.
It's not about Mark Meadows.
It's about the nation, what's good for the country.
And Democrats don't care about what's good for the country right now because they're focused on getting their political enemies.
When was it first asserted?
1794, George Washington.
Goes all the way back to the start of our country.
Our first president, General Washington, he first asserted as president of the United States.
So this is, I mean, I'm so disgusted about where they're taking the country, what they're trying to do.
And now today we find out they actually altered a document in their quest and lust to go get Mark Meadows and go get President Trump.
They're willing to change documents just like Klein Smith did when they went to the FISA courts.
They get the FISA to spy on Trump's campaign.
It's the same thing.
And just like Schiff did with the first impeachment of the Ukrainian impeachment.
Yes.
It is so solid.
Well, let me ask this.
What about the release?
You know, look, my life really doesn't matter here.
I mean, they just read my personal text messages.
But I'm like up to 1,300 personal text messages now released publicly.
Does privacy no longer exist in this country for little old citizens like me?
It's supposed to.
It's supposed to in this great nation, but the Democrats, again, they're destroying that.
That's why we got to win back.
That was Liz Cheney's decision.
Liz Cheney's on, you know, obsessed and she has obsessive compulsive disorder on all things Trump.
By the way, the same Donald Trump that pardoned Scooter Libby because Dick Cheney couldn't get it done with his president.
That's a great way to pay back Donald Trump.
You're welcome.
Yeah, no, you're right.
You're right.
This quest they've been on to get President Trump is just so wrong.
It's so wrong.
It's sick.
It's actually precedent.
Yeah, it's just.
Nobody's going to want to serve.
Jim Banks, I'll give you the last word.
Nobody will ever want to step up and do this.
Well, that's certainly a great point.
I mean, Schiff is doing what Schiff always does.
But in this case, you're saying, Sean, that Liz Cheney is the new Adam Schiff.
I mean, she's leaking reporters, text messages, and emails.
She's going to do a lot more of that.
They just subpoenaed a number of our colleagues, Jim Jordan's records included last night.
You're going to see a lot more of this in the weeks to come.
Again, it has nothing to do with preventing another January 6th.
It's all about burning down Republicans, anyone associated with Donald Trump or the Trump agenda.
That's what they're going after.
And they know they've only got a year.
They know Republicans are going to win back to majority.
They're going to do as much damage in a year as they can.
And we've got to do everything we can to stop it.
All right.
I appreciate both of you being with us.
I'm glad you're continuing the work of doing a real investigation.
Look forward to your report.
I hope you release it the same day as this phony January 6th committee led by Kinzinger and Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi, Jim Banks of Indiana, Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio.
Thank you both for being with us.
Thanks, Sean.
All right, 800-941-Sean, our number.

Why do you think it is I'm just out of nowhere loving Christmas music this year, Linda?
I have no idea where that came from.
You know, it's funny.
You like the really aggressive Christmas music?
Like when I hear that music, it makes me feel like somebody's going, it's Christmas!
Like it's very like, ah, you know, like I can't breathe.
But specifically, God, rest you, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
For Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day.
I'm like listening to the words.
I'm loving it.
Yeah, well, this is like what we were talking about the other day.
It's like you're singing about Jesus.
You know, you're doing praise and worship in your car.
You know, Mary, did you know?
Like all these different songs that actually have a much greater meaning than any of the Hallmark nonsense that they're shoving down your throat every day.
You know, Trans-Siberian Orchestra just does it with a little bit more edge.
You don't like the, what's the name of that?
The Hallmark channel, love movies, Christmas movies.
Oh, God, I can't.
Didn't Jofflin do a bunch of them?
And I guess she's going to do them again.
Everybody does them.
Their main star is Candace Cameron Bure.
I know her.
By the way, I like her.
Do you like her?
No, she's great.
But it's just, first of all, have you seen these movies?
Have you seen them?
First of all, honestly, I maybe caught one here and there, but no, that's not like my style.
Okay.
So I already knew the answer to that, considering your favorite movies, Braveheart.
And, you know, what's the other one?
The Russell Crowder Gladiator.
That's it.
But putting that all aside.
I love Rocky movies.
And awesome.
I'm obsessed with Rocky.
Everybody knows that's not seasonal.
And then the Russell Crowe boxing movie.
What's that one called?
Oh, Cinderella Man.
That's my movie.
Yeah.
But in all truth, Hallmark Channel, it's basically like someone who gave you a cup of hot chocolate, right?
And inside the cup of hot chocolate, they put a bag of chocolate chips.
Then they asked you if you wanted marshmallows and whipped cream and if you wanted a teaspoon of sugar in it.
And at that point, you're almost as sweet and ridiculous.
What is that channel?
What the hell are you talking about?
What do you mean?
Because it's so obscene.
They got people in there.
First of all, everybody's in love.
Life is perfect.
It's always snowing.
Everyone's wearing a scarf at all times.
It doesn't matter what time of the day it is.
They are perfectly dressed.
They always have a scarf.
I'm like, it's not that cold.
What's happening?
I mean, seriously, when you go out, do you put a scarf on?
Do you?
No, I don't wear a scarf.
No.
Of course you don't.
Every man of New York men do.
Yeah, they do, but it's ridiculous.
Like, their jacket's open.
They're in a t-shirt, but they have a scarf.
It's just obscene.
I dress in sweatpants, t-shirts, you know, jeans, and I hate putting on shirts.
You want to be in sweatpants all the time?
No, well, I don't know.
I don't even like to get dressed for Christmas, but I don't know.
The songs are just meaningful to me this year.
They are.
Maybe.
It's been a tough year in the sense that it has been.
It has been a very hard year.
But I am excited.
I don't know where this optimism is coming because I'm Irish and I'm usually pessimistic, but I just sense that there are good things ahead for this country.
And that makes me happy.
I think there's a lot of good things.
You know why?
Every problem we have can be solved.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, you're fine.
If you didn't interrupt me, I'd be confused.
And I would really think you were losing your mind.
Because if you were optimistic and not interrupting, then I would have to ask if it was still you.
But putting that aside, I'm just teasing you a little bit.
You know, I think that there's a part of us that we all need a little bit something.
We need something nice.
We need something to look forward to because we've got people trapped in Afghanistan that nobody is talking about on the mainstream media other than us.
It's done now.
By the way, you know what?
You read the report this week in the Washington Post.
It's over.
Oh, yeah.
They're not getting anyone else out.
And our friend John Andrasik is doing that really cool thing.
He's having people wear ribbons and get out there on the Senate floor, get out there on the House floor and remind people that we still have Americans trapped behind enemy lines, even though, you know, Joe, we forgot.
Joey didn't forget Joey.
Well, maybe Joey did forget because I don't know if he knows what day.
Joey forgot.
Even what's the guy's name that, you know, we can't stand?
Brett Stevens is suggesting that Joe, please, Joe, don't run again.
Don't run again.
We can't take this.
It's so silly.
But he's not.
He's terrible.
Well, because everybody knows what I was the one that got it started.
Now the American people see it and it's showing up in polls.
Joe is not mentally fit for the job.
And now we're stuck with him.
We are stuck.
Now, the only thing, if it gets much worse, at some point, we have to consider the 25th Amendment.
And I'm not wishing ill on Joe Biden in any way.
As a matter of fact, there's even a small part of me that feels sorry for him.
But then I look at the bigger part of it, which is people around him knew that he was struggling and they hid it from the American people as best they could.
See, I disagree with you on that.
I disagree strongly on that because, you know, Joe Biden never gave a rip about anybody but Joe Biden.
And he watched what his son did to people.
He watched and totally deceived the American people and has done so for 50 years while he's been in office.
He has said some of the most horrible, racist, offensive things against women.
I mean, the guy is just the worst possible person.
And then the idea that he's sitting in the Oval Office, it's a disgrace.
So I really don't care how much he's not feeling well.
Not like I want any ill will to happen to him.
But I'm not out here feeling sorry for him because he never really did a whole lot for anybody else but himself.
Well, I think his career, I mean, I would like to know who's in charge because they're doing a lousy job.
All right.
Anyway, to our phones, Chris is in the great state of Wyoming.
What's going on, Chris?
How are you?
Well, hello, sir.
I wanted to thank you for taking my call and also thank you for what you do for all the people.
There's a lot of folks in Wyoming that listen to you.
So, you know, that Liz Cheney comes from Wyoming, and there's not a lot of people that are very happy with the way things are going with her.
But what I was looking for was maybe some thoughts and some advice from you on how to get her out from the point of view that we have so many candidates that have thrown their hat into the mix trying to help unseat her after everything that has happened in the last year.
Well, there was a poll that came out.
You probably saw it in the last week.
She's down against her main primary opponent by 18 points.
Yeah, and three of them I was reading, three of them have dropped out now because of who President Trump endorsed, which I think was good for those three guys to step out of the race.
I know that they were all seeking Trump's endorsement, but the person that got it, you know, she's still running.
She's a lawyer from Cheyenne.
And I don't know.
I guess I was just maybe looking for some encouragement and things.
Maybe you thought that.
Well, I actually think Liz Cheney's plans are bigger than that.
I think Liz Cheney, and it was just, there was an article revealing that she's getting money for people that helped fund the Lincoln project.
And I suspect strongly that the Lincoln Project, you know, their utter hatred if Donald Trump is the nominee in 2024, they will put up another candidate to try and draw enough votes away from Donald Trump to help Joe Biden or help Kamala Harris or Pete Buttigieg or whoever the Democrats put forward.
That's where I think this is going.
And, you know, I don't think she's going to get far with that plan, but we'll see.
Well, and it's not that I don't disagree with you, but I guess I'm trying to also think of the representation for my state because we only have her.
She is our only representative.
You only have one congressperson.
I know, it's crazy.
And you have two senators.
But listen, I feel sorry.
I think that she's done a bait and switch for the people in Wyoming.
And I think that the people of Wyoming see it.
I think people in the country see it.
She's standing on her high horse.
She thinks she's holier than now.
And sanctimony, you know, it oozes from her pores almost.
I mean, it's just ridiculous how sanctimonious she is.
And I think that Liz Cheney's out for Liz Cheney and that she is now in the process of doing everything possible to damage and bludgeon Donald Trump in the hopes that he's not a viable candidate in 2024.
I think that's what the purpose is.
And I think all these other groups that are funding her efforts and her campaign and groups like the Lincoln Project have the same goal.
And if it means aligning with somebody like Joe Biden and socialism and socialists and people with the weakest foreign policy in American history, they can't claim to be a conservative and do this, but that's the end justifies the means.
Maybe you don't like Donald Trump style.
I understand he's tough.
But Donald Trump was tough and he fought and he kept his promises.
And you know what?
At least Donald Trump can speak 40 uninterrupted minutes and be extraordinarily well-informed, intelligent on any topic you bring up to him.
I know because I've interviewed him enough.
I've known him all of these years.
He's not changed.
And I have spoken to him on a fairly regular basis since he's left office.
And I think he has every intention of running.
And I think it's going to be interesting.
We first got to focus, though, on next year.
And even before that, we've got to make sure that every state has election integrity measures in place.
And next, people are going to have to be all hands on deck.
And I hope the Republicans will take back to Congress.
We have the most important Senate races in the country, bellwether races you could ever want with Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Arizona, Nevada.
I think it's Missouri up there, and maybe Missouri as well.
I mean, these are all bellwether states.
And we'll see if Republicans can get the House and Senate and then win back the White House in 2024.
We can fix the country.
And we don't need long to do it.
The thing is, everything is reversible.
The first thing I would do if I was elected president right now is I'd immediately crank out energy production at a level this country's never seen before.
That in and of itself, that one act, would do more to eliminate inflation and the economic pressures that we now feel.
It's all Biden-induced.
It's all preventable.
Next thing I do, I'd secure the borders.
I get back to energy independence, and I'd screw Vladimir Putin for putting troops on the Ukrainian border.
And the way I would do it is I'd give cheaper energy to our allies in Western Europe.
As far as China goes, if they don't stop their saber-rattling with Taiwan, I would end all trade with China.
Well, that's a trade war, Hannity.
You're a protectionist.
No, I'm not a protectionist.
I believe in free and fair trade.
But also, I believe in standing by our allies short of sending troops in because we're not going to get into a war with China over it, but we can hurt them financially because their entire economy is based on exports.
The entire economy of Russia is based on energy.
And so that we have tools available to us.
If we had a president that was cognitively aware and had the courage to do it, we could fix both of those problems immediately.
The next thing I would do is I'd put the sanctions right back on the Iranian mullahs, and I would make it impossible for them to advance their nuclear program.
And I would align even further with Israel, Jordan, Egypt, the Emirates, the Saudis, and everybody else in the region against Iranian hegemony.
I'd stop that problem.
The next problem I would solve, I'd lower taxes that would further ease economic pressures, also create a lot of jobs.
You know, this stuff isn't complicated.
And I'm not saying I'm running for office.
I'm just saying that we could have prevented the disaster.
The next thing I would do after that is I would get on the phone with the Taliban and I'd say, you've got 48 hours to decide.
You release our American citizens.
You release our green card holders, our military family members.
You release these people that helped us, or I'm going to bomb you into a previous century.
And then I'd think about doing it.
