And there will be this marginal side market in, ah, maybe we like this scoundrel.
PJ VogtHOST
27:21
You know, like Martin Shkreli has a little afterlife on Twitter, like whatever.
PJ VogtHOST
27:25
And I think sometimes maybe some of that is also about the idea that most Americans are not investors.
PJ VogtHOST
27:32
Most Americans have jobs.

And so since you've already seen it, I think you'd really love that episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out.
Ashlee HardgraveHOST
49:44
He also sat down with one of the members of the Wu-Tang Clan while they listened to the Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the big Martin Shkreli album for the first time.
Ashlee HardgraveHOST
49:53
And then very recently, they just put out a very official unofficial poll right before the midterms where they partnered with YouGov on some very interesting intersectional sports and politics questions.

So if you are looking for a new podcast besides this one, keep us in your rotation.

Let's go four.
MikeyHOST

Martin Shkreli, the guy who raised the price of the anti-parasitic drug Daraprim from $17.50 to $750.
MikeyHOST
42:03
I'm
JacksonHOST
42:04
quite familiar with the scumbag that is Martin Shkreli.
JacksonHOST
42:10
I mean, he's a real piece of shit.
JacksonHOST
42:15
I now see that I might have made some mistakes.
BetsyHOST
28:42
heard Pharma Boy Bro is back in the news.
BetsyHOST
28:46
Pharma Bro? Wasn't he the one who tried to make insulin? Yeah.
BetsyHOST
28:53
really expensive?
AliHOST
28:54
Oh, I don't know.
Luke ToumaHOST
19:31
That's their version of that.
Christophe JeanHOST
19:34
Martin Shkreli and 50
Luke ToumaHOST
19:36
Cent are in the house.
Luke ToumaHOST
19:36
Yeah.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
5:44
And, you know, if they're the only maker of the drug and you need that drug and it's a matter of life or death, they can almost charge you whatever they want.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
5:51
A great example is the one that everybody will know is Martin Shkreli.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
5:55
When he went and took a drug called Daraprim that had been on the market for 50 years and cornered that drug, he raised the price from, you know, $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
6:06
And the price is still there today.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
6:13
And the problem is, is it's not super attractive for other manufacturers to come in and make that drug because they know that Martin Shkreli could just collapse the price of the drug, wipe out their investment if they try to make that drug, and then just raise the price later because they have this dominant market position.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
6:30
So what we thought with Civica RX is, you know, if we could get together with health systems around the country and with philanthropies, we could create a, you know, a totally independent, not-for-profit company that doesn't require any government intervention to go in and compete for these markets that have been cornered by folks who are willing to rip people off.
Dan LiljenquistGUEST
6:52
And we did that through a not-for-profit structure so that nobody would own it.

So it is not going to subsidies.
Jack FarleyHOST

Obviously, AI is so much more real than quantum computing.
Jack FarleyHOST
47:49
And actually, I have a lot of respect for Martin Shkreli.
Jack FarleyHOST
47:50
And people are like, oh, quantum computing can help drug discovery.
Jack FarleyHOST
47:53
He's like, even if that's possible, drug discovery is not really the constraint.
Jack FarleyHOST
47:57
So I've heard Martin Shkreli, who definitely knows pharma, talk about this point before.
Jack FarleyHOST
48:00
Is that
CitriniGUEST
48:01
a fair characterization of a conclusion of your experience? Yeah, I think I don't want to underemphasize the impact that it's going to have because you talk about with clinical testing, right? AI can make it that there are like a ton of esoteric requirements, like paperwork, stuff like that.
Mark AgnifiloGUEST
9:33
Um, it's funny.
Mark AgnifiloGUEST
9:34
I defended Martin Shkreli.
Mark AgnifiloGUEST
9:36
I don't know if I don't know if he ever kind of got up to Canada, but he was the, you know, the so-called farmer bro guy.
Mark AgnifiloGUEST
9:41
And he was a very smart guy, too.
Brake SavageHOST
39:23
Not cool, man.
Brake SavageHOST
39:25
Martin Shkreli, bitch.
Brake SavageHOST
39:27
Satanist.
Brake SavageHOST
39:29
Fair.
Ben CahnHOST
85:46
Yeah.
Ben CahnHOST
85:46
You know, it's just Martin Shkreli got busted by the FTC.
Ben CahnHOST
85:49
They told him to stop trading biotech stocks.
Emil DeRosaHOST
85:52
