dr. marc siegel is professor of medicine and a member of the fox news medical aid team. dr. egel, will start with you. everybody is a sort taking victory laps or wanting to lay down in the road and give up and they fixed nothing. what can they do to actually fix this mess? >> i think they should take a deep breath and start to look at what's actually going on in the doctor's office because i hear politicians debating this all day long. andy notwithstanding who i'm on with. in a doctor's office, as of 2009, we have electronic health records what's soaks up all of our time. face time is down, we don't have any reform, as we practice defensively. there is more and more insurance regulations and we are paid less. the problem is that everybody keeps mixing up the word insurance and health care. it is deliberate. if you have health insurance, you have health care, but if you come to see me, i might find there's a specialist i want to refer you to and they don't take the insurance that you have. i might not be able to get you into the hospital for the treatment you want. it's gettin

dr. mark siegel. good to see you, doc. >> good to see you, liz.cuperating at home, he appreciates the outlaw pouring of support he has received over the last few days. he's vowing he will return. it's supposedly one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer. what does this diagnosis mean? what is this? >> it's one of the most aggressive cancers period. there's 12,000 new cases a year. the problem with it is, liz, that you can't find it and get it all out because it's based on the support cells in the brain. and by the time you remove it, it's already infiltrated other brain tissue, no matter what you do. and we have more advanced imaging techniques than we ever have to color-code it and see how deep it goes. we still can't get it all out. chemo radiation, we've been doing that for 20 years, and the median life span is still only one to two years, usually. so it's very, very deadly and unfortunate. maybe the most aggressive cancer. liz: so this is the same cancer that killed ted kennedy and joe biden's son bo. how common is this? what do you thi

dr. siegel's enemy. >> second quarter gdp you are economist we are out of time, peter dr. much we appreciate it. >> coming up it was a long night in the senate, their grabbing the coffee this morning, as we look at the latest for health care reform we take a look at world markets after all this a sell-off in technology stock yesterday you are watching fbn:am. ♪ y, i'm the internet! i know a bunch of people who would love that. the internet loves what you're doing... ...so build a better website in under an hour with... ...gocentral from godaddy. type in your idea. select from designs tailored just for you and publish your site with just a few clicks-even from your... ...mobile phone. the internet is waiting start for free today at godaddy. your insurance on time. tap one little bumper, and up go your rates. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? news flash: nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a fr

dr. siegel. we had a couple of political interviews in this hour, what should people want to know about this? >> if they want to reach portman or susan collins or can can can -- capito they have to hit medicaid. it cuts medicaid to tune $770 billion. they have to dial that back a bit to get some of the moderates. what i do like what was put out yesterday is the cruz amendment. i'll tell you what i like from the doctor's point of view. you walk into a doctor's office tell you under this new bill you don't have mandate anymore. you're free to buy what you want. connell: i don't have to get all the coverage but they have to guarranty all the coverage but i have more freedom now to choose? >> exactly. if the cruz amendment hadn't been added, guess what you have to choose? connell: everything. >> everything or nothing. it was one policy called the obamacare policy. included 10 essential benefits. everything for preexisting conditions. what the cruz amendment does adds the idea maybe catastrophic insur

dr. marc siegel. how serious is this, doctor?ion means his vital signs aren't quite as stabile as they were before but not critical where they're really unstable. the first thing you think about is did he develop a wound operation, he had several operations, how are they figuring out whether he had a wound infection? a cat scan or look for fluid. they have him on broad spectrum antibiotics. we've seen bacteria unresponsive antibiotics, what bacteria is responsible. urinary tract infection, when you recover from surgery like this, they give you spirometer and pneumonia can develop. wound infections or infections in the stool. i'm sure he has one of those. the good news is that they tend to respond well to treatment. liz: how concerned are you? >> well, i know he's in a great place. this is a great hospital, amazing they brought him this far and this kind of thing, provided he didn't develop an abscess, like a urinary infection from a catheter or wound infection can generally be treated and he, in my opinion, the chances are he'll

dr. mark siegel report it is something the new commissioner is looking to fulfill. new head of the fda tells fox he wants to get things moving fast. >> the man in charge of keeping president trump's promise to make prescription drugs cheaper is the new head of the food and drug administration, dr. scott gottlieb. gottlieb say the solution is really as simple as supply and demand. more drugs on the market, means more competition, and thus, lower prices. but brand name medication manufacturers don't want to share their formulas with generic competitives, and could take up to four years to get it approved. >> we're able to effect competition if we're able to get it on to the market. if we're able to get it on sooner for certain drugs that don't face generic competition, no question it will impact drug prices and overall drug spending and lower the overall cost burden on consumers and low cost options. >> reporter: dr. gottlieb wants to cut the time from lab to pharmacy down to eight to ten months, with no tradeoff between speed and safety. >> i don't think faster makes

dr. marc siegel, and fox news anchor and attorney gregg jarrett. real story that we are reporting on. has anything like this ever been done before? >> no. no legal precedence for it. section 4, the involuntary invoking of the 25th amendment. the people who are advocating this, i wonder if they can even read. have they read the 25th amendment? sheila jackson lee, congresswoman says, the president is ill-suited and incompetent. therefore invoking the 25th amendment. that's not the legal basis. it has to be functional t incapacity. somebody who has a stroke, somebody who has an accident or in the case of jfk, what if he had survived but was brain-damaged. that's how it all came about. she either misunderstands or misinterprets it. i think it's she just doesn't like this president. she doesn't like his politics. the only mechanism for removal is called the ballot box. >> kimberly: seems, doctor,al are they doing this for political reasons? correct me if i'm wrong, it doesn't seem to be any evidence anyone has proffered thus far to suggest that he is un

dr. siegel end. >> absolutely.dent has shown a sense of humor we have not seen on the other side. he showed compassion when representative scalise got shot. on his birthday, he never mentioned it was his birthday. he only talked about the man being a fighter. right now, president trump is trying to look after a young baby. again, i'm not going to speculate about president trump, who i have not met. i don't know about his physical or mental health. but i will say it's really unethical and irresponsible for physicians to try to do it on television or anywhere. >> even if somebody suffers from mental illness, that doesn't invoke the 25th amendment. duke university did a study of all american presidents and concluded that roughly half of them suffered some form of mental illness, including lincoln, who had terrible depression. he used to go to the vault of his dead son, have them open the coffin, and sit for hours at a time. that seems a little crazy and yet lincoln was perhaps our greatest president. >> good point. we

dr. marc siegel and fox news contributor and obamacare architect dr. ezekiel emanuel.rs nancy pelosi is going to bring to the table to fix obamacare. >> i hope what she is going to do is talk about ways there have can be agreement on medicaid. 9.5% of the federal budget. it used to be 2.5% 30 years ago. the democrats are brought up the fact keep people covered but how about we reform it. i also want to bring up a point that maybe dr. emanuel can comment on the federally qualified health centers which have been expanded under obamacare that were originally a bipartisan effort that create a safety necessary for 27 million people in the united states. often in rural areas. pete, they should be maintained. we don't have docks? rural areas. i want malpractice reform. i want to acknowledge how much time we spend in computers. it's healthcare that's in the solution making sure they get the care need not only that this very insurance coverage. pete: we have to improve and update the affordable care act which is an admission that it has failed. what are they going to bring to t

dr. marc siegel. i want you to tell our audience what is the gene therapy, how does it work? >> the first thing our audience needs to understand how immunotherapy works. stuart, cancer hides from our immune system. our emnewspaper system is used to fighting bacteria an viruses. cancer hides from it. so our white blood cells don't know it is foreign, don't know it is bad. don't know if we don't get in it will get us. that is what immunotherapy is. what we're taking here, immune cells, novartis's out of our body, engineering them genetically to recognize protein on cancer, in this case lukemia. this is the best white blood cells for killing things. best protection of all. goes zooming in on the protein cancer cell and wipes it out. it is a war in the bloodstream and first test. stuart: this is the first okay for that kind of treatment, correct. >> first kind of gene therapy treatment for this kind of thing. immunotherapy i'm talking about. the only downside, put82% of patients in remission. a lot of chi

dr. marc siegel joins us, he is a member a doctor, good morning. >> how bad is this?amined him, but it is very aggressive, the problem with it is that it is made of the support cells of the brain, and it infiltrates the brain, so even if you think you have removed, cells remain that you cannot get i, and even with our newest neuroimaging techniques which are good at looking at things that we didn't look at before. >> rick: looking out is by getting in there because it is the brain is challenging. >> absolutely, and radiation and the chemotherapy which she is supposedly going to get hasn't worked that well, we have been using that since the 1980s, but usually this type of cancer, people don't live more than a year or two. >> rick: but he is not your typical cancer patient, is he? >> i actually agree with that point, i think that courage and fighting and never giving up plays a big role with cancer, plus we are at the point now where we are starting with the newest therapies, 21st century, $1.8 billion to cancer research, ironically, joe biden is behind that, his son di

dr. marc siegel earlier, it is optimistically one week, but you do not know. don't know what you do not know about recovery from a surgery like that. >> jon: especially when one has experienced a blood clot, doctors do not like putting you on an airplane right away. with the senator in arizona right now -- >> the train from arizona is a long time. >> jon: bret baier, good to talk to you. we will see you tonight. >> heather: fox news alert now on the deadly flash flooding that we have been following in central arizona, the national forest. at least nine people died over the weekend when floods hit the cold springs swimming pool. four people were rescued, and crews are still searching for a 13-year-old boy who was missing. alicia joining us now with more, understanding that one of those who died was a 2-year-old child? >> yes, the youngest was two, the oldest was 60 years old. and that the young teenage boy who was swept away from his family, he was part of a group of people that had calmed up for a day trip out of flagstaff. and this is a draw for folks, especi

dr. mark siegel. i appreciate it.'ve got more news on amazon, i'm calling the most important in the world. liz: the government of india says, yes, amazon you can sell on-line groceries. india is the fastest growing economy. this is breaking towards $1,000 a share we're watching it tick down. stuart: if it's ticked down that's a quote from minutes ago before that news it out there. liz: and the thing with india, they had really cheap smart phones and people are ordering from their start foe smartphone and they're looking at the beachhead for a piece of that. stuart: right to lead with amazon this morning and not health care. thanks indeed, lizzie. chief justice john roberts delivering one of the most unique commencement speeches for a long time, telling students he wants them to fail, hopes they're treated unfairly and wishes them bad luck. believe it or not, there's a positive message there. we'll find it and deliver it to you after this. >> it was not just success, but not being afraid to fail that brought you to thi

dr. marc siegel. doctor, welcome to the show.urvivability rate for people over 55 with this form of cancer is a very low 4%. is that accurate? >> that's accurate. even with treatment, generally 14 to 18 months and this is because it's a very aggressive, from what i hear, i haven't examined him or seen the record, a very aggressive brain cancer based on the support cells of the brain. stuart, by the time you find it it's infiltrated the brain, you think you got it out, but almost never get it all out. chemo and radiation tends to be resistance it tends to come back. that's the poor prognosis. stuart: and chemo and radiation, the first line. >> yes, a drug and standard from the 1980's, pretty much all they had until recently. stuart: and then what's the chance of using, the possibility of using this cell therapy, immuno therapy where you take cells out of the patient, doctor them, put them back in and it fixes the problem. what's the chance of using that on senator mccain? >> we were talking about that last week. stuart: we were. >

dr. gene allowed, marc siegel. kristin tate, fantastic show. >> greg: it is time for this. roll the tape, i want to show you where i got this from. i was watching cnn, they were doing a segment on a rare zebra. let's roll this tape. i was checking it out. i realized cnn had been taken again. more fake news from cnn. this is not a real zebra. this is like the russian collusion story. that's a poodle. >> greg: in honor of july 4th, i never get an animation. i don't want anybody to get sunburned. it's not a good look. i learned something. the spray, not just good enough just by yourself. you have to rub it in after you spray it. a doctor told me that, and that's why you knuckleheads are out there getting sunburned. you are not rubbing it in. when you're on the beach tomorrow, spray and rub it in. you're welcome. >> lisa: speaking of tanning, i'm sure you've seen this photo of governor chris christie and his family and friends at the island beach state park. it looks pretty empty. the reason why it was shut down due to a government shutdown. chris christie is clearly getting a

dr. mark siegel joins us a prefer medicine nyu. >> great to see what you would that look like if presidentawmakers could he do that what would that look like. >> if he tries to do that going to get people's attention yes, he can do that that is provision in obamacare i think if he tries to do that people will take more seriously trying to reform this beast i call three-legged school, by the way, first leg is the mandates so they mountain you to apply insurance clayton don't mandate that i take that insurance doctors are fleeing from it don't mandate that insurers play all about a lot of insurers are dropping out. the second leg is the one-size-fits-all all the essentially benefits all preexisting conditions covered almost by same price, that is expensive, and that is why premiums are skyrocketing, then the third leg is the subsidy look, president trump as a businessman, is noticing subsidies going up, up, up, to prop the system up so the system death spiral likely when he subsidizes exchanges or not it is too expensive. >> we have seen premiums going up and up, his argument is that lets ju

dr. marc siegel.you because he saw bringing adopters, basically trying to diagnose the president is the president as if he had some form of dementia or is mentally unstable. smart move for the medical community? >> not smart. the american paycheck tick association has the goldwater rules that you just can't do this. the reason it's against the principle of medical ethics committee epa, american psychiatric association is because these doctors have not examined president trump. they have it spent an hour with him. they haven't taken history. certainly no democrat has that's doing it. people are very different when you sit them down in a doctor's office to take a full history then when you see them on twitter. i met former president bush several times. he's very different in person than when you see them on television. we are going down the way wrong direction. >> i weigh different when you see me in person. way different. way more handsome. your take on this. the political side of this, which is crazy.

dr. michio hirano, seen if the boy could receive life-saving treatment. it could be a big deal. mike siegeleam, professor of medicine. you know of him. he is prominent. why would dr. michio hirano take this case? >> he has been in the field for 30 years. the mitochondria is the engine of the cell, it makes all the processes work. the tragic case like this, it is not working, because of genetic problems. so dr. michio hirano made a therapy with few others that overcomes that and gives the genetic factor back to that need. he's used it already, bill, in another young child, which showed significant improvement, and is still alive today. this case with charlie guard, buy everything we hear in, is a much worse case. it affects the brain more. is a profound weakness. he is probably a lot worse than the other child, but dr. michio hirano is saying, why not try this treatment? therefore. i'm impressed that he is flying over there. >> bill: from a medical's perspective, if we are giving parents false hope, or does a doctor, this prominent as you describe, see the potential for improvement? a cure?
