Blood? >> we focused on four core areas. one was exactly the small sample size. one was making it incredibly inexpensive to do this testing so that any person could afford it and being transparent about our prices. >> reporter: what are your prices compared to medicare reimbursement rates? >> they start at 50% off of medicare reimbursement rates, and they go down to 90% off of medicare reimbursement rates. yeah which means people can do you know a cholesterol test for $2.99 or really expensive s...

Up being? >> no we werent. yeah, i think most public polling is garbage and is wrong. almost every public poll had this race tied the night before the election. we had us winning 315 seats. looks like well be in the high 320s. so pretty much what we thought. and its all about sample size, whether youre doing cell phone, whether panel, whether youre actually understanding the electorate has changed and lots of people are communicating in ways they didnt ten years ago. and i think that most public...

It goes. >> in kansas city, professor tom hyam of oxford university is trying to figure out a way of drilling into a relic of john the baptist. >> because here its open already. i think its best to go in here. >> he hopes to date the carbon inside the bone and perhaps even get a dna profile that can then be matched against the first century relic he has already tested from bulgaria. >> its the collagen part of the bone that we want to date. thats the protein part. and that, in modern people, is ...

Time frame. does that prove anything to you? >> as a social scientist, im reluctant to say such a small sample size proves something. its something we have been saying for decadedecades. a wider size might yield larger numbers. to the bigger point here is why does this happen? i dont think that all police officers walk out on the street and say im going to go around killing black people. this officer on this tape seemed to have a different kind of pattern than most police officers have. i think ...

To get a useful enough sample size if were to extract the collagen for dating. >> with limits to how far he can drill, he cant be sure theyve got enough to determine whether this bone could have belonged to john the baptist. in jerusalem, the more john the baptist denounces herod, the more he risks inflaming herods anger. with all the danger that could follow. >> you could talk about repentance and judgment day and maybe not get into much trouble. but you start to attack herod personally, and he...

As well. good to have you here. you say the wording is significant in this poll? >> it is a small poll. wall street journal does great polls but it is small sample size. instead of saying are you for it is could you see yourself supporting. most republicans would support one of the candidates we have. i dont think he is the front runner but i think at this point a long ways before people say that is my candidate and i will go out and support him and raise money and things like organization and m...

It becomes very, very difficult to get a useful enough sample size if were to extract the collagen for dating. >> with limits to how far he can drill, he cant be sure theyve got enough to determine whether this bone could have belonged to john the baptist. in jerusalem, the more john the baptist denounces herrod, the more he risks inflaming herrods anger. with all the danger that could follow. >> you could talk about repentance and judgment day and maybe not get into much trouble. but you start ...
