marc siegel joins us now. good morning to you, dr. siegel. sealing seeing hi, ainsley how are you.generic drugs are made in the united states. we do rely on china to get those ingredients. what is the solution? >> 90% of the drugs we use here are made -- 90% of the drugs here we use are generics. and 90% of the ingredients as you just said come from china or india. so our supply chain is dependent, easily crippled by china and that's what president trump is worried about because it also leads to ingredients to fentanyl in mexico. is he trying to clamp down on this but it's a wake-up calling for the president to further deregulate markets here and to give incentives for more production here. it's gone down 60%, ainsley, in the past decade. and that's largely due recently to the inflation reduction act, of course, under president biden where if your prices went to high there were rebates. guess where the rebates went? not to the patient, not to the doctor, but to the middleman, to the caremark, to the express scripts, to the opt optum rx. making the drugs here and making the active p

amount of indirect funding for research projects to just 16% cutting billion spent on grants, doctor marc siegel know something like this might fit his agenda. >> it's more the latter is in the pipeline this fits his agenda with doge to cut down on extraneous cost not to share the burden, the university using an nih grant is using the extra money were talking 35 billion an extraordinary billion for support services many labs, cleaning support staff, the argument on the other side it's happening so fast that it could actually interfere with grants themselves because without the support staff you may not be able to get the grant off the ground. it seems like it is the right direction but it is happening rapidly, i don't want to see the grants jeopardized but i don't want to see the federal government paying excess amount either. >> have you, in your experience, in every facet of government grant making process, there is some waste and fraud have you seen any of that yourself? >> i would not use the word waste and fraud but that's a diversion money that's going one place ends up at a different plac

marc siegel, how would you describe the stay for you? what impact will he have, dr. siegel?a disruptor and a reformer. one of the things he has identified is our obesity epidemic which is 45 american adults, outrageous, and even more shocking, 20% of children, and i have to tell you as a practicing internist, it leads to disease, it leads directly to heart disease, it leads to diabetes, it leads to strokes, it leads to sleep apnea, it leads to cancer, and if we can prevent all of that before it happens by getting control of our weight and exercising more and changing what we eat, we are going to cost a lot less money. it will be a health care system again rather than a sick care system. that is number one on his hit list. number two, probably equally as important, is to look for bloat in these various agencies. what is all of the money going for over a trillion dollars? what is it being spent on? what is actually useful in terms of research? in terms of intervention? and the third thing, also equally as important, what about public confidence in our health care agencies? too
