the chairman. it is early days. i have lots of confidence in our professionals at the center for disease control and at the national institute of health as well. that's where the responses. our job is to make sure that we and the resources they need to make sure we have the resources at the local and state level that we need. we've done a good job today. you can look at the number of cases in the united states versus a lot of countries. things will get worse before they get better. we need to deal with that in real-time. that means substantial resources available. i agree with the chairman. this needs to be a bipartisan effort. in terms of funding and out of congress, it will be. you are in the u.s. capitol hearing room. there have been cutbacks in some programs that democrats are concerned about. let's focus on this funding. >> there haven't been cutbacks. there have been continuous increases. i was the chairman there for four years. we increased it every single year. we did it again this year. cutting particular programs or whatever, yeah. this is the most substantial sustained increase in over 15 years. >> looking to next week come

the president. >> and we see representatives from the department of health and human services, centers for disease control and prevention, national institutes of health. these are serious people. >> and what i think the president will try to do is reassure the american public and the are m the market, but reassure the american public that the administration is doing everything and not saying that this is just some seasonal probable that will eventually go away. and i think that the array of people there is going to give an indication that the president has consulted with his advisers. don't forget he was in india when the market started tanking and has been very upset according to you are our reporting with the way this has been run and i think that the fact that you are having various parts of the administration represented here is an indication that there may be some coordination now and programs going forwa perhaps going board. >> and that is key, the going forward part. because we know that this president oftentimes will be the kind of president that the country needs in front of a teleprompter at a press kf conference and then maybe st

the national security council and another in the department of homeland security. both of which followed the scientific and public health leads of the national institutes of health and the centers for disease control as well as the diplomatic advice of the state department. bureaucracy matters. without it there's nothing to coherently manage an alphabet soup of agencies housed in departments ranging from defense to commerce to homeland security to health and human services. but that's all gone now. in the spring of 2018, the trump white house pushed the then republican-controlled congress to cut funding for obama-era disease security pramtz. white house efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the cdc, national security council, homeland security, and hhs. and the government's $30 million complex crises fund was eliminated. in may 2018, trump ordered the national security council's entire global health security unit shutdown, calling for the reassignment of rear admiral timot timothy zimmer and his agency. then john bolton had the security counterpart to resign as well along with his team, too. neither the epid

and a good story from congress standpoint. i chair, chaired for four years now the ranking member of the subcommittee the fonz the national institutes of health, center for disease control, strategic stockpile what we put back medical supplies and vaccines and those sorts of things. for five years in a row congress has put more money in those things than either the last administration or this administration asan for. nih funding up almost 40%, cdc funding and two years ago, this is something i put in the bill that had bipartisan support, we set up something called the infectious disease rapid response fund and put back, with over $105 million in million dollars in it this year going and, help with ebola last year. we didn't wait around politicians. you had money there instantly. our major health agencies are really bad by outstanding americans. i call francis collins the best politician in washington because he got appointed by both president obama and president trump but it tells you these areas bipartisanship has trumped everything else so to speak. i feel good about where were at and i feel good about the response. i do think, you know, we'll see more cases. the chin

the rest of the world, and we're vulnerable to what happens there. the other is the massive cuts in research and development. places like the center fs for disease control, national institutes of healththe energy department. this weakens our ability to be safe and strong here at home, and it weakens our ability to compete in the global economy. so this seems really shortsighted to me. >> you wrote a piece on the broader effects of coronavirus, talking about economic danger to china, you say eliminate much if not all of tective growth and that has global consequences. huge test for chinese leadership here, in short form tell us the significance. >> in the washington post. what it is, not just economic, but for this leadership, i think they are under pressure in the microscope in terms of their ability to deliver. and there is a real tension in china. if you don't provide information, how are people to know what to do, not to become sick or what to do if they become sick. this government in china is afraid to allow its people to have access to information. >> and any shut down and sadly he passed away from the virus, they shut down the doctor who first sounded the alarm. pleasure to ha

the associated press and affect check on some of the information fly around on all sides. they say this about the issue of funding, the national institutes of health and centers for disease controlvention are not suffering budget cuts that never took effect. they have better funding because congress decided they didn't want to go along with what the president suggested which happens in every presidential administration, democrat or republican. congress decides what are you worried there is information that is not accurate? >> there's a lot of misinformation going around the we need to be concerned about. everyone needs to be careful, we don't want to downplay what is happening but don't want to overstate what is happening. it is obviously a confusing time with a lot of fear out there because there are so many things we don't know right now but i want to put this in perspective because in the flu season in 2019-2020, 14,000 people died of the flu in america, 250,000 people were hospitalized. these are very different, the flu versus coronavirus but we are not even talking about that. shannon: final word here. >> it is important to note the flu we have drugs or, coronavirus we don'

the information flying around on all sides, some is correct and some is not. about the issue of funding, it says the national institute of health and the centers for disease controlntion are not suffering from budget cuts that never took effect, in fact they apparently have better funding than they did before because congress decided that they did not want to go along with what the president suggested which happens in every presidential administration. congress decides, but stephanie, are you worried there's information out there that's not accurate? >> there's a lot of misinformation going around that we need to be concerned about. there is a lot -- i just want everyone to be careful. we don't want to downplay what's happening but also do not want to overstate what's happening and it's obviously confusing time and there is a lot of fear out there because there's so many things that we don't know right now. i want to put this in perspective because in flu season, 2019-2020, 14,000 people died of the affluent america. 250,000 people were hospitaliz hospitalized. obviously these are very different. the flu versus the coronavirus, but we are not even talking about t

and, listen, i have tremendous respect for the heads of both national institutes of health ied and the centers for disease control. coordination and effort because cdc does what it does. nih does what it does. you really need someone to make sure the agencies work together. so there was a good example of the lack of agencies working together. they literally didn't know where people were going to be quarantined and we were being told two different things while planes were in the air. some people said within the civilian population, our attorney general said, no way. and then we were told it was going to be fine if the individuals who needed quarantine were going to be at the joint bases pearl harbor hi hickam in a security facility. but then dod told us, no, that's a no-go. we were left sending texts and sorting out where these individuals were going to go and how they were going to be safely transported while planes were wheels up on their way to honolulu. it was pretty bananas. we have settled it. i just want to reassure everybody we have settled it. >> yeah. >> but to the extent we've been fortunate with this d

center for disease control. we had the most effective public health service in the world. the center for disease control is the model for the planet. the national institute of health has an enormous amount of resources. and they are all working collectively -- we did an amazing job with ebola, and i give biden some credits come i think the obama administration responded to ebola correctly and effectively -- >> laura: but newt, not to interrupt, newt, but the difference is that china is involved. left the big difference. and we don't know who patient 0 is. they just kicked out four "wall street journal" reporters, some of whom were snooping around and wanting the facts. we are not dealing with britain, all good friends, we share information. it's a little different deal than some of the other things in the past. but the idea that the democrats are so desperate to have anything on trump, they almost seemed to be cheerleading what is going on with the economy. when the economy goes down, they are happy. and the economy is going up, they are miserable. it's unbelievable. >> well, and frankly, frankly, i said to the last couple of days, the president's biggest challenge is to have his economic team looking at

and the democrats, which is why they attack. something shocking happened the other day, sean hannity. there was an a.p. fact check. the national institutes of health and the centers for disease controlvention they say are not suffering from budget cuts that never took effect. yet you listen to schumer. he wants $8.5 billion. for what? he can't even tell you, dr. schumer. they say the money the government used to fight thehe latest outbreak was a congressional fund created for health emergencies in the past. some public health experts say a bigger concerns that white house budgets is the steady erosion of a cdc grant program for state a and local preparedness. you know what happened? they cut it. past congresses. before this president even took office.pp they say the broader point about there being nobody here in charge, hearing pelosi say that to coordinate the response sell short what is in place. they have a whole system in place. a pandemic system in place that automatically triggers -- they have an automatic system in place. the president doesn't have to trigger it.s it's at work right now. you have independent health authorities like john orbach. we haven't cut the senior exper

do i want to begin by thanking you, i want to thank you and the professionals at the center for disease control and national institute of health, the folks that you have super prizing our strategic stockpile. i think you guys have -- your team and working with other departments, working closely with homeland security, you have been briefing us on a regular basis, have done a really remarkable job in responding to something that this committee has been preparing for for years and this committee ought to be very proud of its work on a bipartisan basis providing tools for you and your colleagues to respond and through you i want to thank the president. the president has taken strong and decisive action in terms of protecting our borders and, you know, i'm pleased to see this supplemental here and, you know, i suspect we will change it in some ways, my good friend the chairman made points that i agree with her on and i wouldn't be surprised to see you back here but you're doing the right thing. you've used resources that we've given you and come back for supplemental. i have no doubt that you will come back if you feel that you ne

the center for disease control headed up by robert redfield, completely apolitical, a professional, and the national institute of healthlved in this effort. francis collins, the director and the extraordinary human being. tony fauci, one of the heroes -- >> sean: anthony fauci. ah>> absolutely. tony fauci was terrific. these are people helping the acting homeland secretary chad wolf and the department of health and human services secretary alex azar, two terrific individuals. these five people are helping plan this. three of them are completely apolitical. schumer is trying to politicize something that should be left alone. if these top professionals, redfield, collins, fauci bought $2.5 billion was insufficient, they would be saying so. the president is paying close attention to them and this ought to be done outside of politics. stop it, schumer. this is not good for our country. >> sean: very quickly, only 40 seconds for your whiteboard. what you got tonight with delegates? >> i want to remind everybody, 3,979 delegates at the democratic national convention. not including superdelegates. these are the pledged delega

the ebola crisis and comes in the face of continued budget cuts that his own administration has requested. whether it is a 16% cut for the centers for disease control, $3 billion cut for the national institutes of health or $3 billion for a global health crisis. it is like they have been underfunding, stressing the system for the last three years and all of a sudden they're going put a billion dollars, which i think as you point out, people on both sides of the aisle say is inadequate. >> what do you see in his response, though, and the government's that lead you to think that what is hatching n iw in terms of the requests, the attention is motivated more by politics than the health crisis? >> well, look, it is not only your own reporting, kate, it is the reporting of other media outlets what bothers the president is how this might affect the economy, how it might affect his re-election prospects and that's dangerous at this time. what we need is competent stable leadership willing to make decisions based on the science and the facts. and you need to have a president who is willing to have that news told to him, willing to be candid with the american people and see this kind of blase attitude in india

and we don't want anything translated through the media. we want to give it to you directly. it's to have a scientist, to have somebody from either the center for disease control, the national institutes of health somewhere come out every day and do a briefing, much like you do for a hurricane. you come out, you give a briefing, and you say this is where we stand today. take questions from the media, here's where we are with the number of coronavirus cases in the country. here's what's happening with that case in california. here's what our investigation shows. here's how many more testing kits we have available throughout the country, and let the public know that the scientists, not the politicians, are answering the questions that everybody wants the answers to and give a sense of reassurance to the public that the public health community is being allowed to do his job and is being well-funded enough so it can do its job. >> would be the smart thing to do, gloria, thank you. kaitlan, and all of the queen playing, thank you so much in south carolina. good to have both of you on, seriously, though, to talk about the politics of all of this. as the nation, the world is preparing for a pandemic,

at the end of the day for the american people, the government has to run, fund the national institute of health and centers for z's control and make sure our -- diseaseol and make sure our military is funded. i was proud of congress for working in a bipartisan way to get the usmca. i give them credit that. -- credit for that. the senate did the same thing. together in drug pricing and infrastructure, so we owe it to the american people to work together where we can. they will make the final decision in november about the president's fate and the appropriate distribution of power between the parties. host: to the topic of coronavirus, where are we in terms of federal response and preparedness? guest: it is a good story to tell. of thee ranking member subcommittee that funds the national institute of health, center for disease control, the stockpile where we put back metal supplies -- medical supplies and vaccines. for five years in a row, congress has put more money in those than last administration and this administration asked for. two years ago, this is something i put in a bill that had bipartisan support, we set up the infectious disease rapid re

the centers for disease control budget at a critical time as coronavirus containment remains uncertain. however, she expressed confidence in health leaders. >> i trust dr. fauci at the national institutes of health, and he seems to have confidence in what we are doing. >> the speaker said there is no reason for people to be in fear. in san francisco chinatown, david louie, abc7 news. >>> still ahead, bart rides the rails between cars and housing. can it find a balance? will commuters pay for the price of development? >>> plus, love them or hate them, it seems self-checkouts are here to stay. >>> and the sights and sounds keeping some folks up at night. >>> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. sunny and warmer today. sunny and warmer today. i'll let you know how lo you know when you're at ross and... wow! ...you realize you can totally eat out more? that's yes for less. get the latest spring trends for your home at 20 to 60 percent off specialty store prices. at ross. yes for less. we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care f

the ng secures national institutes of health by $3.3 billion. pennywise pound-foolish. it cuts the center for disease control and prevention by more than half a billion dollars at a moment when we need to protect r people against the coronavirus and other public health threats. mr. speaker, a true budget for america's future wouldn't increase the cost of attending college, as this budget does, by sut cutting student loan programs by $170 billion. the education of our young people is our greatest investment in a successful future. this budget discourages those who want to serve their communities by eliminating the public service loan forgiveness program. it wouldn't slash the department of -- it would slash the department of education's budget by $5.6 billion this year alone. while eliminating after school programs for kids. kids would be less safe, less educated. ignoring another of his bledges -- pledges this time on infrastructure, president trump's budget proposes cutting the department of transportation by 13% this year and reducing funding for the army corps of engineers by 22%. both agencies that deal with

the budget. one of the largest cuts to any federal agency. medicare, medicaid and the aca. the president's proposal cuts at the national institutes of health by 3 billion. the centers for disease control and prevention by 675 million. keep in mind that this is the very agency that is not responding to the coronavirus. the most concern to move tobacco regulation out of the fda authority altogether. the administration would create a new agency to oversee tobacco products while we are in the midst of a tobacco epidemic. the control act clearly and unambiguously assured that fda would regulate tobacco products with the protection of public health. over the last decade, the agency has worked to develop the expertise, workforce and scientific base to regulate these products. i am concerned that this proposal would only serve to further politicize tobacco regulation by stripping away the sound, scientific and evidence-based approach and replacing it at the whims of political employees. nothing more than a gift to big tobacco companies. let me move to the second topic at hand. we will ask questions of the secretary another top health officials on the administration's efforts to address the co

obama, the bird flu, any number of things, our system, in the united states, beginning with security at the border, beginning with the centers for disease control, the national institutes for health, and frankly, our massive private sector, that is incredibly innovative, look at the response that we've had and the track record we've had so i don't think the president is saying hey, this isn't anything to worry about, for anyone in the world, and i think he is saying for the people in the united states, look, we are taking this seriously, and we have the resources to deal with the problem. and i think when people come on and they sound alarmist, the president is like no, you're going against the message. the message here is we've got this, make sure you take your precautions, wash your hands, practice good hygiene, and if you are sick, stay home and don't get other people sick. but otherwise, go to work and get back to normal life. things are going to be fine. and i think that was the message. not that he didn't care. but when you see somebody say something that is at odds with that, he's like well, let's weigh back in and get the focus on the right topic here. >> norfolk, virginia, re

the experts front and center answering questions. every day new questions will come up. the president on a regular basis -- experts at the centers for disease control, national institutes for health, they need to be the point ofhave seen criticism by some but mike pence is trying to manage their messages, that is under nonsense. the white house's job is to coordinate all messages so nobody is surprised one person said this and others said that but each agency has to be free to speak their mind and say what is going on and i'm sure the white house wants 2. you can't control this. shannon: that talking point has been debunked by everyone involved. great to have your expertise, thanks for stopping in. super tuesday crunch time for joe biden and give us an exclusive look, martha maccallum right after the break. eartburn. so you don't have to stash antacids here... here... or, here. kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. >> ♪ >> shannon: voters this south carolina head shannon: voters head to the polls tomorrow and joe biden's campaign, the stakes cannot be any higher. in columbia tonight a preview on primary eve. >> reporter: joe biden is confident he will win the pri

administration that cut money for the centers for disease control, for it national institutes of health. dramatically slashed u.s. support for the world health organization and for aid around the world. a perfect example of penny wise and pound foolish. because we haven't invested in the infrastructure domestically and internationally on dealing with pandemics like this, we are far more vulnerable than we needed to be or want to be. >> this is the thing, willie. when you start -- when you have donald trump spending the money that he spends and cutting the taxes that he's cutting and then he gets to these parts of the budget and i know it's not him. it's just people mindlessly going, take 10% off of this, and 10% off of that and it has to do with health. it has to do with food safety. it has to do with research and development for alzheimer's or for diabetes or for making, you know, americans, i mean -- talking about diabetes, the incidence of diabetes is higher in red state america than it is blue state america. a lot of this research he's slashing are hurting the very people that he would prefer to protect. >> yeah. and those cuts all come home to roost eve

research s in medical at the national institutes of health that provide the pipeline and that spur innovation. the president wants to cut for ng for the centers disease control and prevention, the health resources and administration, and the substance abuse and mental health services administration. agencies ensure that there are qualified health can move new who medical discoveries into health care and public health delivery, support americans while they are awaiting new cures and prevent them from getting sick in the first place. the president also wants to cut funding for the food and drug agency ration and the for health care research and quality. americans need the food and drug administration to approve new, safe, and effective treatments, agency for health care research and quality to provide what treatments work est, for whom, and in what circumstances. if you followed the president's budget proposals over his years know that this is a pattern that just keeps repeating. president doesn't care about securing health care for older americans, for everyday for americans, he doesn't care about nsuring that older americans have a secure and comfortable ret

the centers for disease control and prevention e-cigarette pose a risk to all users but most particularly to young people. the vast majority of e cigarettes contain nicotine which, according to the national institutes of health, and be as addictive as heroin or cocaine. this is a fact which anecdotally was cemented by the high school students i actually talk to the other day. nicotine can on brain development, affect respiratory health and lead to heart disease. further, research shows those who use e-cigarette's are more likely to be using combustible cigarettes, a fact confirmed to me by the high school students. e-cigarette manufacturers have been negligent at best or intentional at worst and attracting young people to their products. flavor options, concealable design, highly addictive nicotine levels and slick marketing campaigns of all been used to lure millions of young people into using e-cigarette's. parents and public officials have been left scrambling to address this epidemic and no one, not parents, not public health officials and not the students who vague fully understand the health impacts of e-cigarette's. what is worse is many of the young people actually believe that these products are saf
