having spoken to tom cole. tom cole and roy blunt have been the leader in rebuilding the c.d.c. and n.i.h. if there's any people that deserve credit, when you talk to tom cole, working 2 1/2 years to get an infectious disease rapid response fund. something a lot of people didn't think about, but thinking about this day coming, are we prepared? and having that fund build and averaging more than $2 billion a year in building up for that. my greater concern is, what if h.r. 3 from the democrats became law? wiping out the cures of the future when we see as the world continues to change that we are going to need new cures. we're going to need a vaccine. do we have all the science behind what we need to get that vaccine? we have a number of pharmaceutical companies over in china today supplying them the best way to treat. how do we speed this process up? the lack of accountability from china harms the entire world. and i think america has been leading in this charge and we want to make sure we continue to do it. because this is something not created here but can still come here. repor

and tom cole of oklahoma. thank you for joining us on newsmakers. >> thank you. >> we continue our conversation in the studio. housing it begins as the hearing? >> it is the first hearing of this sort that i can recall. i've been in the capital for several years. there are real roadblocks to pulling both parties together in ways that could atually work against president from this party or from the other party. they're really has to be some institutionalism that i don't think is there at this point. >> part of the problem is that some of these laws they are mentioning, the national emergencies act, is a 1970's law that was passed at a time when there was significantly more bipartisanship in congress. we are now at a time of great polarization. it's almost impossible to get the kind of super majorities congress would need to pass a law over a presidential veto. presidents are not willing to give up their power. bottom line, what will come from this hearing and this initiative? thatthink the best hope is when the

you are on with tom cole. >> caller: good morning gentlemen. my question is i hear the talk, technical talk about funding and all things toin do within the subcommittee but but i want toa question about where you stand on pre-existing conditions being destroyed by thein effort to get rid of the aca and then having the president say that he is not trying to get rid of those. i would just like to know where you stand up for taking this kind of pre-existing conditions, coverages that are included in the aca, and where you would like toik go with that. >> guest: great question by the way. look, this is one of those areas that is been highly politicized. we're not going to get rid of coverage for pre-existing conditions. i did not support obamacare come does mean everything in it was bad. the wreck right couple of pretd republican ideas in there such as allowing you to keep your child on your own health insurance until you're 26. that's a republican idea thatdr was picked up and put in. there's actually a national consensus on pre-existing condition
