we are all here today in solidarity to support our national scientific research institutions and the many workers that make them a run and have been attacked by the trump administration and its executive orders. we are here to advocate for legislation that provides resources to investigators whose interests are driven by curiosity, empathy, and duty to ourselves and our neighbors. profit driven scientific research the kind of trial and error inherent in scientific research often gets in the way of high profits and shareholder values. when a child has a rare form of cancer, they can explore a cure and treatments that lie in the fact that we as a society value human life. most of us are -- don't know how to design under current working conditions. we have low salaries and suboptimal benefits relative to the years of education and work experience we gathered. all of us do unique work only a few of us can do. we work long hours and sacrifice weekends to advance our research. we postpone events in our personal lives like starting a family or buying a home. and many at hopkins are immigran

but you could go to the website of the national institute on drug abuse and find out for yourself. opioid use disorder is a broad term. so, there is addiction, which comes under that umbrella, and addiction is defined as compulsive use despite negative consequences. and you see that with alcohol use disorder, gambling addiction. in other words, even though you want to stop it is an underlying compulsive behavior disorder that makes you continue to do it and you know it is harming you. also under the umbrella of opioid use disorder is dependence, which is a completely different thing. opioids are a kind of drunk that when you have taken them steadily for a couple of weeks then your body adjusts physiologically and if you suddenly stop taking it you can go into a withdrawal reaction. you really don't have this compulsive disorder. i have had surgical patients that were in intensive care for weeks and they became dependent on the morphine they were getting intravenously and we tapered them off over a couple of months to avoid withdrawal and then they never craved it, they never felt t

elon musk, and his doge minions target scientific and medical research at agencies like the national institutes of health. just last week they announced an estimated $4 billion cut for health research at universities across the nation, including the university of new mexico. just like many of the unilateral and illegal actions of this emboldened trump administration, this one received a temporary halt from a federal judge two days ago. but whether this particular attack holds up in court or not, the trump administration's intention is clear -- dramatic cuts to medical research into treatments and cures that countless americans are depending on to save their lives. mr. kennedy plans to lead this effort and even to expand on it. mr. kennedy is not who my constituents in new mexico want to see leading our nation's health agency. in fact, new mexicans have raised their concerns in letters and e-mails and phone calls day in and day out. i'm going to take a few minutes to read to you from some of these new mexicans who are terrified about the danger that mr. kennedy would pose as our nation's health

the national institutes of health is going to be cutting funding by $4 billion for medical research. the order by the trump administration is taking effect on monday. now locally, ucsf stands to lose millions of critical dollars. it's one of the bit recipients in the entire country. but as abc seven news reporter tara campbell found out, the school is pushing back. >> the bay area's medical researchers are bracing but not backing down as they stare down devastating funding cuts set to go into effect monday. friday, the trump administration announced the national institutes of health will start limiting the amount of money it doles out for what are called indirect costs payments that cover the costs of things like research, labs, equipment and staff. >> you're cutting off universities at the knees. you're not allowing research to continue. this is not how you conduct science. >> doctor monica gandhi is the director of the ucsf center for aids research. the university is among the top nih funded institutions in the country. in 2023, it received more than $789 million in grants from the

in large part, thanks to funding from the national institutes for health. my grandfather and his colleagues pioneered breakthroughs that impacted biochemistry around the world leading to all kinds of developments to keep our bodies healthy. from nutrition and diet to advanced drugs to really so much more. and i share my grandfather's story because it demonstrates why the nih is so essential. as the world's premier biomedical research institution, nih invests in our health. our national security, our economy, and our future. these investments influence our nation's competitive edge. pati patients treatment options, and simply put, american lives for generations to come. research supported by the nih has helped us find breakthroughs for treating diabetes, alzheimer's disease, and substance use disorders. it's supporting clinical trials right now for patients battling terminal diagnosis for cancer. and in fiscal year 2023, the nih generated almost $93 billion in economic activity, nearly twice the agency's budget. and the engine behind all of it is, of course,

the national institutes of health is, you know, they're, they're a good playing games. and the game right now is to try it out and go after the china on a variety of fronts. so it's not just a coincidence that donald trump is stepped up, the attack on china for risk control of the panama canal. i think we have to look at this all isn't and know this is a whole narrative. this being presented and constructed that there is truth to the fact that yes, uh, that the actual entity covered 19th came out of that lab. it was a, it was an accident, but the creation of it was not an accident. the creation of it was a form of biological warfare and preparation as such. and the united states, instead of, you know, initially started in this country and then shifted it over to china. and, and, you know, we, we still don't have the full story of the bio labs that were found in ukraine. so, you know, there's, there's some dark, dirty stuff going on here. it's murky, isn't it suited to say the least we have there and dr. red field just to point out again, he was the former head of the, a

national institute of health, n.i.h., and national cancer institute, as well as fort detrick and noaa. the work of these institutions and their highly trained government funded scientist, engineers, and doctors result in medical breakthroughs which save lives and further technical innovation, which by the way contributes to u.s. competitiveness and national security. but this administration whether it be trump or elon musk or doge has engaged in nonsensical and partisan budget attacks, which will cut short all of this. and hurt not only the health of women and families, but also our u.s. businesses, which actually depend on basic research which is and truly only can be done by federal funding. let's just humanize this. why is federal funding of this research so very, very important? a few miles away from here is n.i.h., and the esteemed national cancer institute. the world's largest funded biomedical and behavioral science institution. these institutions have saved millions of americans' lives, and they will continue to do so. just a few things, for the women here, the most common can

friday, the trump administration announced the national institutes of health will start limiting the amount of money it doles out for what are called indirect costs payments that cover the costs of things like research, labs, equipment and staff. >> you're cutting off universities at the knees. you're not allowing research to continue. this is not how you conduct science. >> doctor monica gandhi is the director of the ucsf center for aids research. the university is among the top nih funded institutions in the country. in 2023, it received more than $789 million in grants from the agency. johns hopkins, the only other university to receive more. >> two senators of every state are going to be called continuously this weekend by university presidents. >> in a social media post, the nih notes that 9 billion of the $35 billion it granted for research last year was used to cover indirect costs, and by lowering the maximum rate universities can receive for these indirect costs to 15%. the government will save more than $4 billion a year. it also means the nation's top research universities

amna: you mentioned the national institutes of health.ay night, the trump administration announced it was cutting billions of dollars in nih funding. we just saw a temporary legal victory for the case to let those funds move ahead. what should we understand about that case and its impact? laura: a second judge has said moments ago that the administration needs to release that funding for the national institutes of health. that goes to medical centers, universities, and it funds research for things like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. they said the administration needs to show within 24 hours that they have released those funds, they have to show that on an ongoing basis. essentially, the states argue this is lifesaving research that is being held up because of this block. amna: we see mr. trump and elon musk's work to slash that. the federal workforce continuing with the consumer financial protection bureau. tell us about that. laura the head of the budget : office for the trump administration, but also the acting director of the cfp

go to the website of the national institute of drug abuse and find out for yourself. and will play use -- opioid use disorder is a broad term. addiction comes under that umbrella and it is defined as compulsive use despite negative consequences and you see that with alcohol use disorder and gambling addiction. even though you want to stop, it is an underlying compulsive behavior disorder which makes you continue to do it and you know it is harming you. also under the umbrella is dependency which is a completely different thing. opioids are a kind of drug that when you have taken them steadily for a couple of weeks then your body adjust physiology -- physiologically. stop taking it, you go through a withdrawal reaction. that comes under opioid use disorder as well, but you don't have the addiction. i had some who became -- i had some patients who became dependent on opioids intravenously. but they never craved it. they never felt like they needed it again. other drugs, including antidepressants, beta blockers, which are commonly prescribed for high blood pressure, if y

grant applications and review and it appears even clinical trials that are happening at the national institutesather work there. >> stephen: he was head of immunology. we got notes where clinical trials were getting canceled. it appears that they have put a full freeze on all of the science. >> stephen: was one of trump's donors diseased? >> yes. skin cancer, exactly. >> stephen: that was all crypto. who does that benefit? >> none of this was communicated, we found out about this through reporting and because of -- >> stephen: not communicated how? there's no press release? >> as opposed to say the deportations where he has ice riding along with deportations. >> that was a rookie mistake. you go with dog the bounty hunter or phil, one of those too. >> so what was weird, they didn't publicize it. the best we can tell, no one has been upfront about this, what we think is happening and this is not definitive but the best we can piece together is there is a lot of health equity work being done by the national institutes of health and what might be a plausible thing happening is they froze the grant

studies which may be highly unlikely if the administration is making cuts to agencies like the national institute of health and the cdc. what will you do about this? >> first of all, i would say cutting ridiculous bureaucracy actually facilitates providing important services to people on the ground. we all know we have a government that waste too much money. frankly, a lot of frown built into how our government spends money. one thing that it does its waste taxpayer dollars. the other thing it does is ensures the money we have in our resources at the federal government don't end up going to the people that actually deserve it. president trump's desire to bring efficiency back to the federal government, that will not be bad for the people of east palestine. it will ensure the resources we spend on health will go to the people on the ground rather than bureaucrats. we are not talking about a lot of money. when i was working on this with the biden administration, we needed $5 million to start the long term health study. i know there is some negotiation about where that money will come from. i think

that we have here, noah, or take, for example, a lot of the work that we're doing here, the national institute crucial to scientific research, not to mention the federal government funds lots of activities like drug interdiction or survivors of domestic violence. we're dependent on our federal government in lots of different ways, and we've had to bring lawsuits to protect our employees, including, by the way, this cuts to the national institutes of health, where colorado, just university of colorado and colorado state university would have $90 million cut overnight with no justification. a lot of times, people may not realize how the federal government impacts so many parts of our lives. the nih funding is about critical medical research, helping to save lives. people who are struggling with cancer or diabetes. they want this to go forward. we've got a vibrant economy here in colorado. and if all these steps to cut nih funding to stop federal critical programs and to threaten our sensitive information, if it goes through, we're going to feel it. that's why we're fighting back in court. >> so

i always remind people to national institutes of health enough the national institute basic science for this is an opportunity to look at what those priorities are. the fact that 77% of young people's graduate from high school cannot pass at military entrance physical exam is very disturbing. the fact that we have a chronic disease epidemic in america is substantial. so, i think part of this is looking at these agencies and trying to resize them for priorities. i do not know what the ultimate consequences are going to be. whether itt is going to be good or not good. i do think though we could try to focus on this time to transform our health systems and health agencies that they are focused onhe health. that they are not focused on what i say is an equal disease system pair we have to build a health system. whether that's the research nih does to deliver solutions, or whether that's an agency that iran, cdc which i have enormous respect for. but i will say that agency is sorty of moved away from its primary mission of what i call a health response agency it has become culturally very mu

like many research hubs, stanford university gets money from the national institute of health.it uses about a third of those grants to pay for indirect fees like building costs, equipment and maintenance fees. >> we never thought there would be cuts to nih like this to basic health research. so i think it's a concern for all californians when that kind of research money gets cut. >> the trump administration wants to decrease how much universities use money to cover those costs down to about 15%. additionally, some lawmakers in congress are proposing private universities pay much more in taxes for endowments or donations. it receives. >> which would encourage colleges and universities to stop hoarding billions of dollars in their endowments and actually spend that money on services for current students. >> that's why stanford's president and provost are calling for a hiring freeze. in a statement, they say in part the endowment supports roughly two thirds of the budget for undergraduate and graduate financial aid, as well as a significant portion of faculty salaries, research an

a court has paused trump's reduction of funds to the national institutes of health. nih.nother judge continued to pause trump's offer to buy out federal workers. a federal court has also stopped elon musk from accessing treasury computers. another court paused the shutdown of the u.s. aid agency. now, many of these are temporary pauses while the court considers the case. but they are big speed bumps for the white house. vice president jd vance tweeted earlier this week judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. okay, this takes some parsing rewrite the way he wrote it legitimate power. but the judiciary is absolutely able to block what it decides is illegitimate. that's essentially why the judiciary is there and is a major part, or at least a third of checks and balances. jordan king abdullah has a day ahead of him. he's headed to the white house for a meeting with president trump, who wants him to take in millions of palestinians from the gaza strip. president trump says he wants to evacuate gaza, build hotels and other attractions. he calls it th
