we're excited about the progress nih is making, and dr. fauci. >> let me give our viewers your background. dr. birx, military trained clinician in immunology, focusing on aids vac even research in the department of defense in 1985. assistant chief of the hospital immunology service at walter reed from 1985 to 1989. director of the u.s. military hiv research program from walter reed from '96 to 2005, rose to rank of colonel during that time and helped lead one of the most influential hiv vaccine trials in history. and then the director of cdc's division of global hiv/aids from 2005 to 2014, led the implementation of pepfar programs there, around the world, and managed the annual budget there of more than $1.5 io

the resources together, nih, came together with georgetown university and really said, where inne nexfections are occu where do we get people diagnosed, where do we get them on treatment. and incidence has plummeted in the city. it's taking the parameters frro paper to action. >> is this a federal initiative? is most of this work done on the state level? >> it's done at both, it's also done at the community level. we have to remember how important the local community groups that continue to work tirelessly against this epidemic, ensuring that people in their community are served with health services that meet their needs, in a way that's representati receptive to them, nonstigmatizing, nondiscriminating. i think it helps that the churches are taking this on once again as a real issue to ensure that everybody who is in their pews on sunday is aware of their risk of hiv and their need to be tested. so community plays a really critical role. yes, there are federal dollars.

i do a lot of grant reviews for the nih. just impeccable english that you write.lacel arts have a major in medicine, science. you had the talk earlier today. so institutions like this have their place and i hope they will forever be there. thatopen the mind in ways technical stuff we do don't do. keep up the wonderful job. cancer, something that has since my early days in college captivated me. skew mytually made me education and background less to a hard-core clinical work. that's not important. people get sick and they need to be taken care of. in some ofated me the courses i took earlier was the challenge of the disease of cancer. extremely complex. people toll kinds of come to it. open one likeeal an onion. there's another exciting question. long after we go i'm sure the young ones will still be talking about this and making great contributions. challenge when talking about cancer is that complexity. in 25 minutes i couldn't even begin to do justice of a snippet of brain cancer which is what i work on most of the time. to try to give an overview to the whole f

there is two things that nih and the scientific community are working on right now. one of them is a cure. and that's extraordinarily exciting, and they're making progress everyday. the other one is hiv vaccines. i think hiv -- that was the world i came out of. about 10, 15 years ago. there is a really critical trial that just opened in south africa, and really shows how vaccine development can work with partnership between the south african government, nih and the community. that's just being launched. that will be a critical trial. i believe that we will have a vaccine. i hope we have a vaccine in the mid 20s, hopefully, critically by 2030. because we will be able to control this epidemic with the tools that we have now. but we will not be able to end it. i want to make that clear. we're talking about 37 million people thriving and living with hiv/aids because they're on medication. they stop that medication, they once again can transmit the virus. so we have to ensure that those individuals stay on treatment, and we have to ensure that we have a vaccine that is pr

last year, nih had 50,000 propoed sales. i'm a reviewer as are many people many this room. at least 25,000 of them had amazing work in them. if you run a business where you're throwing out 25,000 great ideas every year, you have to start wondering about your business model, but if we start increasing that even a bit, we've got people ready so, if the money comes in, we're not in a position where we have a desert of ideas, so, it has that. it has the capacity to really fuel economies and i know all my colleagues out there could say they have these study, but a little fuel from the government, for example at chapel hill, we did a big study, for every dollar we get from the federal government, we generate 7 to $9 in additional money that goes to fuel research, back to the economy. we hire 100,000 people in the state. so, i mean, i could go on about that, but i think the good news is that should these investments increase, we're ready, the bad news is that if they don't, these pipelines that are holding on could hit a point where it's going to be a lot harder for them to actual

i do a lot of grants reviews for the nih. and just impeccable language that he uses to write the stuff, it's just incredible. so, liberal arts have a major place in medicine, in science. you had the talk earlier on today. so institutions like this have their place, and i hope they will forever be there. they open up the mind in ways that some of the things we do don't do, so keep up the wonderful job. to talk on cancer, something that has since my early days in college has captured me, has captivated me, which actually made me to skew my education and background less to a hard-core, clinical work, not that that's not important -- people get sick and they need to be taken care of. but what fascinated me, from some of the courses that i took earli earlier, was just the challenge of the disease of cancer. it's extremely complex and needs all kinds of people from different disciplines to come to it. and it's always, you peel open one -- it's like there's another exciting question that's there. and long after we're gone, i'm sure

renaming the nih's cancer initiatives in this bill after beau biden. vice pres. biden: without objection. soledad: it's a multi billion dollar package aimed at finding a cure for cancer, backed by both republicans and democrats. beau biden, the former attorney general of delaware, battled brain cancer until his death at age 46. our elected senators and representatives from both parties also voted to include $1 billion dollars to fight an immense and growing health issue, opioid misuse. three key parts. the first expands heroin and opioid treatment and prevention programs. the second beats up -- beefs up drug monitoring programs. and the third will increase training for health care providers. the bill also requires the federal health and human services secretary to prioritize all this comes together as what's called the 21st century cures act, and it now goes to president obama for signature. that wraps up our program. i'm soledad o'brien. we will see you back here next week.

i had the privilege and honor of reviewing one of his grants for nih.ble language that he uses to write this stuff. he is incredible. he has a major place in medicine and science. he talked earlier today. i hope institutions like that will forever be here. they open up your mind in ways that colleges do this. keep up the wonderful job. to talk on cancer, something that has since my early days captured me which led me to ske my background less forw clinical work. people need tweaking care of when they are are sick but what prompted me for courses i took early on was the challenge of cancer. it is extremely complex and needs all kinds of people from different backgrounds to come to it. to peel open like an onion. long after we have gone on, the young ones come in to make contributions. now, the other challenge with talking about cancer is that that complexity, in 45 years i could not even begin to do justice to a snippet of brain cancer which is when i work on most of the time. so to try to give an overview of the whole field of cancer and 35 minutes is a

we have to make it mandatory to see that money go to institutions like nih. if you have caps that don't reflect national needs and you have caps on mandatory spending the make a harder, there is always tax breaks. you see congress doing this anyway. again, this is a reflection of the american people to the extent that people have an aversion to spending but they want to see things done. tax breaks are a way to divide government resources and particular activities and claim to not be increasing spending. i don't think there is a functional difference between whether a government subsidy is handed out via spending programs or tax breaks. the main concern with tax breaks is they are skewed towards those at the top due to the nature of the tax code. there is nothing inherently wrong where they make sense. but phil is right. they get a lot less scrutiny and are done with less transparency than spending programs. wayuld be nervous about a were the only way for congress responded with more tax breaks. >> stewart butler and i will be publishing a picture -- paper sho

i right in the book i was leading the house nih bylaws and i know little girl who did not brush her hair today and out i went. for the record i would say by sure here but they didn't put to pressure on me to look good but there was an understanding that i should have friends and i was embarrassed that i did not. >> it to have a good relationship that night he >>ed you had a row the fact with your dad when he died.actul >> i have never told the story publicly. . . this memoir and i wrestled with that if i wast not sure how much i wanted to disclose. genee that are kind hearted but there are haters out there. and this is what it is like to be up public figure. it is interpol to fly minnesota there are other people out there who have lost somebody under less than ideal circumstances. so for the record we had a beautiful relationship by hes only 15 when he died. forty-five no heart problems. then 10 days before christmas he dropped dead of heart attack.upid fig it was a stupid fight over a class ring i wanted a nicer class ring than what we can afford he was telling me we cannot afford that

have no attention to this from the -- from the nci, which is the national cancer institute, for the nihd from health and human services. these are the groups that have not been appropriately dealing with this horrible killer. this is the third largest killer of cancer patients. >> when people get this diagnosis, they do think of it as a death sentence because of those statistics you have just laid out. is it just that people have thrown up their hands and they think there's no way to cure this? >> well, you know, it's ironic, but i -- my book is devoted to management. the tenets that aren't here is you need leadership, you need prioritization, and you need urgency. if you're going to succeed. any kind of organization will run into problems, whether it's not-for-profit or for profit. a large organization is when it's a serious problem. they need leadership on it. they have to prioritize what do i have available? how can i put it all together to deal with this? lastly they have to do it immediately. that has not happened in the case of pancreatic cancer. it's a real management failure. >>

amazingly wasn't until 2012 nih decided to alert medical professionals to this epidemic.13, u.s. military hospitals and the va starting to tighten prescription criteria. so for example, they acknowledge that veterans are much more likely to abuse opioids than the average american because that's the drug they were given after they were wounded. and it is very easy to get hooked on painkillers after combat injuries. now we're seeing the results of that prolific use painkillers. va hospital this is week and afterwards will say we have got to have a whole lot more rehab for these patients. patients are no longer being given 100 plus doses of these medications. but the problem is going to continue until we have sufficient rehab facilities. that means va will have to build some, or real fix, hire veterans first at va facilities so next va secretary has a chance of succeeding. and number two, make sure when a veteran can't get the kind of help he needs at a va hospital, give him an i.d. card with chip in it, says a service-connected disability, if you can't get treated at va fac

was that there wasn't enough innovation, too many restrictions or wasn't enough money being spent at nih for research on diseases we haven't found a cure and we can could do more as a country to accomplish that. so, that was 21st century cures. as time went on, we had these other bills that were just as important. mental health reform, dealing with opiates. some of you know we passed an opiate package and the president signed it back in july but there wasn't the funding. and also the cancer moonshot, which was a really innovative idea on the part of president obama and vice president biden. so, all this evolved into a package now that really is truly remarkable, that we're able to combine all these in one rubric, if you will, under the auspices of 21st century cures. i just want to thank the leadership. i have to thank nancy pelosi, our leadership on both the house and the senate side because there were many times when i met with nancy and, you know, there were the naysayers that said, we can't do all this, we can't put this all together. there's not enough time. she said, there is enoug

well, i'm disappointed that the funding level for nih were cut even further and that the investment is no longer mandatory, i take my republican colleague at their word that they will be appropriated in the years ahead. i'm also pleased that this legislation includes language to remove obstacles for children covered by medicaid. but my real concerns with legislation lie with mental health reform proposals which don't go nearly far enough. the parity is already the law thanks to the mental health parity and equity fact and affordable care act. each study that we read, mr. speaker, each story that we hear, prove companies are skirting those rules. instead of further guidance or meetings carried out years down the role, need enforcement and transparency today. we need random audits before violations, not after. we need closure of the rates and denials in a way that patients' families can understand. and have access to care not reduce them or roll back expansion and we need to appreciate the difference the aca made for mental health markets especially the most vulnerable among us. until we

. >> there's a new nih study, exercising is the top way to shed extra weight, but it's low among overweightple because of a chemical imbalance in the brain? >> right. that study was done on mice, animals. that may be true, in people, in humans what we have to realize these are the people who need to do it more and be more committed to it. so, yes, we cannot say that we have a handicap on our shoulder that we cannot exercise because we are overweight. there are other things we can do which is eating healthy and consuming proper amounts of food. >> another thing, we are spending $90 billion year on low back and neck pain and it is especially acute among working age people under 65. 70% of them are suffering from this chronic back and neck pain. >> two very important points. first of all sometimes it may be rest, physical therapy, and nonsurgical interventions but many times we jump to having surgery right away so we need to look at this. this is why studies like this are important. it helps us focus, allocate and reallocate funding to make sure we're getting the most effective value for our d

if you factor in nih grants that is hundreds of millions of dollars.a lot when you talk about it like that. in their petition they demand they will, that, they want to work with police to minimize i.c.e. enforcement. they want legal support for undocumented students. they want to add courses engaging the undocumented experience, which i don't know what that means. let's go to the second one. they're trying to stand up for students on campus who are undocumented. how many are there? do you have any idea? are there dozens? >> i think 20 is what i was told by emory. it is really not about the undocumented students. it is about this law-breaking 101 course they want to take. these infantile student who are small percentage of great students at emory university are driving a ridiculous concept you can pick and choose which laws you want to follow in this country. that is what it is about. if you do that you won't get state funds. another school here in georgia, agnes scott, going down that road. faculty senate in public university that was talking about it

is it possible that the heads of the nih and fda will be held over? >> their holdovers in any administration. it's usually a small subset. some are statutory. there are people like the fbi director who have a term that transcends partisan administrations. there are usually some holdover -- there's an olive branch extended by prominent democrats or republicans to a opposite party. i am not aware enough of the specifics of what the policy differences might be. whether those would be among them. checked shirt. >> this is mainly a question for you, tom. alluded to them earlier. what are some of the congressional steps that can be taken to hold a trial trumpstration -- hold a administration accountable? i am very interested in that question. and went to a bunch of the lawyers and advisors who had led or worked oen this area for previous transitions. and there's a range of responses -- stewart, who was jimmy carter's advisor said, you know, in addition to the sort of blind trust approach, there are some which he is only a halfhearted subscriber. it would su

head the cancer moonshot, we said we were going to ask you all for significant funding increases at nihte. and you all stepped up, again, republicans and democrats. as part of the moonshot, we set up called a blue ribbon panel to review what should be the scientific priorities as we tackle this to try to end cancer as we know it, try to do in the next five years what ordinarily would take ten years. these priorities include investing in promising new therapies like immunotherapy, using the body's own immune therapy, enhancing prevention and detection efforts in every community, regardless of the zip code in which you live, supporting research to improve outcomes for children with cancer and putting us on a path to turn what is currently a devastating cancer diagnosis into either a chronic disease or an absolute cure. and in the process it will fundamental fundamentally, i believe, change the culture of our fight against cancer and inject an overwhelming sense of urgency, or as the president often says, the urgency of now. and every single moment -- god willingly this bill will save live

need to have prevention, treatment, have the immunity, the state, the federal and whatt and science nihas done to provide us the tools has been extraordinary. host: where are you seeing increases in infections in the united states? thet: when you look across entire united states and you look across the south, that is where you see hotspots. we look for hotspots symmetrically and globally. it is areas where there is more transmission. often areas where people don't know their status. no one is intentionally transmitting the fires. when you first get infected, you are healthy and you stay healthy for a long. of time. when you talk about motivating a 16 euros or 17 wrote to activate with the -- in iraq with the health system, that is not really something for their every day life. those messages have to evolve from talking to a 30-year-old down to talking to a 60-year-old. what is the president's emergency plan for aids relief so far? is an amazing program -- congress really took this up lee, senatorra frist, senator kerry, and president bush historically for the first time ever in history

last year, nih had 50,000 proposals. i'm a reviewer as are many people many this room. at least 25,000 of them had amazing work in them. if you run a business where you're throwing out 25,000 great ideas every year, you have to start wondering about your business model, but if we start increasing that even a bit, we've got people ready so, if the money comes in, we're not in a position where we have a desert of ideas, so, it has that. it has the capacity to really fuel economies and i know all my colleagues out there could say they have these study, but a little fuel from the government, for example at chapel hill, we did a big study, for every dollar we get from the federal government, we generate 7 to $9 in additional money that goes to fuel research, back to the economy. we hire 100,000 people in the state. so, i mean, i could go on about that, but i think the good news is that should these investments increase, we're ready, the bad news is that if they don't, these pipelines that are holding on could hit a point where it's going to be a lot harder for them to actual

it after beau biden and a real tribute and i know the vice president feels really good about and the nih is happy about and moves this all forward. >>> new research today that is raising serious safety questions about teething products. ahead, what can parents do to ease a baby's pain while avoiding bpa and other harmful chemicals that are hurt your child? you are watching "cbs this morning." we thank you. we will be right back. energetic. i was active. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive o

but in the process of doing that, they also sort of unstablealize the nih funding.r year after year. if we made the type of long-term stable investment in medical research, biomedical research specifically, like we do for counterterrorism, for instance, if we were that committed to these things, perhaps we would make advancements in life expectancy and other things. >> one thing i find worrisome, you were talking about this in the last segment. donald trump won because he tapped into this worry in a way that really no one else has done so successfully. but i have yet to see any policy ideas that address any of these issues. now, he's not the president yet, but you look at his cabinet and it's hard to see anything coming out of it that's going to address stagnation. >> ed, we were talking about this off camera. it's very easy to blame the loss of jobs in pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin on china. it's a lot harder to blame the loss of jobs on a technological revolution, that is doing the opposite of what happened during the industrial revolution. bringing men

it's asking the question what are the relative contributions of genetics to our health and in 2017 the nih. anybody living in the united states can volunteer. you come in and give a tube of blood and they examine you and ask a bunch of questions and follow you over a number of years. do your genetic profile and what is the effect of your environment, of your diet, your lifestyle and they will follow these people over the years and combine it with their electronic medical records and all of this data in a big database and say happens to these people? it's not what we call one size fits all. there is a concern which is the security of this information, these big databases versus the things in the news. i just spoke to france clins who -- clins who is concerned they are going to have a hack a thon. he is very concerned about this. >> almost $2 billion worth of funding is going to fund the cancer moonshoot that is biden. what is the cancer moonshot for those who don't know? >> 50 years ago press kennedy talked about moonshot and putting someone on the moon. now a bigger challenge trying to fin

a, butolves the nih, fd the entire process was very collaborative. i think there are lessons for every committee in how we crafted this legislation, how we moved it forward and how we pushed it to completion. anna: congresswoman, what have you seen in the ability to work together across the aisles? have you been able to make friends with her democratic counterparts? >> absolutely. i am on the house armed services committee. it is also the largest committee. 55th national defense authorization act. there are tremendous women on both sides. on the republican side you have people like -- on the democratic side you have tammy, susan davis. on a number of issues we had been able to bridge that partisan decide -- divide that you see in other committees in congress. ,y frustration at home oftentimes what i read about in papers, those nationally and media coverage in general, there tends to be a focus on the partisan bickering and less focus on the bipartisan victories. if you look at this past congress, the senator reference the infrastructure built marsha
