washington journal. the house judiciary committee is looking into this. after a president trump won the 2024 election, this scientist allegedly asked his then employer if he could be moved out of the country to canada because he was worried that republicans would investigate his role in the department of the covid-19 vaccine when he was working at pfizer four years prior. specifically the committee alleges the senses whose name is dr. philip torments her told employees at his job after pfizer and gsk that when he worked at pfizer in late 2020 "the three most senior people in pfizer research and development are involved in a decision to deliberately slowed down clinical testing so that it will not be complete prior to the result of the presidential election." >> that a publicly traded company may be engaged in that

work if you have a former employee who is asking to leave the country since the election of donald trump, i think it should alarm everybody that these allegations are serious. we treat them seriously. and that is why the committee has asked for all communications and all records related to when the pandemic start to the end. >> reporter: tries it says it will respond quickly to the committee. this is the vaccine development process was driven by science. he goes on to say, we have consistently and transparently reiterated the facts and a timeline of the tireless work of scientists regulators and thousands of clinical trial volunteers who made the vaccine possible. theories to the contrary are simply untrue and being manufactured. nonetheless, the judiciary committee wants some answers. they want a response from both batter's el and the scientist by the end of the month. sandra? >> sandra: grady trimble, thank

five gop members that voted no on the big beautiful bill, why are they getting in the way? >> chip roy and i had a long talk about two months ago he was taking for granted some of this nonsense inside the beltway that extending the tax bill was going to cost: zero dollars. we have brought in an extra 48% of revenue from the 2017 tax cuts. it is not going to cost trillions of dollars. but that is in their minds that they are trying to pay for tax cuts which actually more than paid for themselves. putbacks there's that. there's also the fact and this is little-known more people just don't, dismiss right now. affected alequin, a congressman just called new impeachment documents. of course, it is not going it is not going to go anywhere. because democrats are not in the majority of the house. if we wait and could not pass the tax extensions until 2016,

what we're going to see is a huge increase in tax. is going to fall on the republican watch. republicans are probably going to lose the house and we're going to see a new impeachment filed every week for the last two years of to the administration. >> sandra: when you look at what is at stake, potential scenarios, if the 2017 tax cuts expire, single parent running at $52,000 could see $1,400 plus in tax hikes two income family making $165,000 could owe about 2,500-dollar. i mean, this matters. this is president trump, by the way, his post about the big beautiful bill. it was earlier today. republicans must unite behind the one big beautiful bill he says. not only does it cut taxes for all americans, but it will kick millions of illegal aliens to that place off of medicaid. the country will suffer greatly he says without this legislation. whether taxes going up 65%, will be going on democrats but that

does not help our voters. we don't need when strangers in the republican party. stopped talking to. it is time to fix the mess that biden and the democrats give us. thank you for your attention to this matter says presidential. back donald trump has cleared the decks. remarkable performance. even do that -- even democrats give him credit. extraordinary stuff. he is making real progress in terms of terrorists. the markets are approving -- improving. we had! thank week last week with tomorrow. it is going pretty well this week also but this part -- could stop the economy in its tracks. maybe we could put up that poster of all the republicans who voted against this. these are the people that donald trump now that he is cleared the decks with the mideast, he has also cleared the decks in terms of dealing mostly dealing with the tariff issue. these guys could stall the bail and what happens then? they lose the house in 2026.

we are going to have extraordinary increases from when the democrats are up there at the very least when the democrats will do is install any progress of donald trump of the second two years of his term. he will be a lame duck for the last two years of his presidency. this could be a disaster. an absolute disaster. they've got to get off your high horse, villasanti don't pass any bill at all, the cost of everything is going to go up tremendously. >> sandra: and all the senate democrats caring about the cost of stuff. this is governor tim walz and governor gavin newsom on budget cuts. listen. >> okot t. rex. government is, the 800-pound griller in the room. they make this health care decisions. it will impact us in a profound way. >> we are not cutting or will impact those enrolled. in part medi-cal system. we're just capping it. particularly for those with documentations. the revenue side was definitely

impacted by the recklessness of trump's policies which by the way are universally accepted. >> sandra: what is happening here? is this a new reality? >> medicaid started out as a program for people who are really desperate. now we have healthy, young men who are taking medicaid. this was done as a part of obamacare. the expansion of medicaid to include everybody because what these people want is socialist medic -- medicine. i had to live with socialized medicine with my wife got sick in london. it is horrible. you don't want socialized medicine. it is going to make your life much more difficult. it sounds wonderful. you never have to pay for anything. but remember that whole thing, you will have the doctor of your choice, you will get all sure -- all types of insurance coverage. a lot of people lost their insurance, lost their doctors. but that is what they want to

do. he wanted to expand medicaid. what one thing that the builders that i think is very good is have to work for a requirement that is if you are healthy male that could get off your duff and go out and work and get insurance like the rest of us do, you will be able to get it. if you should not be on medicaid. you should not be on medicaid. now they are trying to take that away from the people who don't deserve it. and that is supposed to be a crisis. that is supposed to be a disaster. a palty, that is a good thing. but the republicans are the ones who have to get this thing done. up is back in town. watch out because he is going to go to your district if you are voting against this and are a republican and make sure that the people know that you are going against the president's missions and that you are going to turn him into a two-term president not a four term president because his last two years will be a lame-duck presidency. >> sandra: we have david asman all fired up. expect it makes me so furious.

bundy and previously undisclosed information about the murderers. what kind of impact on a potential jury pool, the release of this information have? >> thanks for having me. but i would say is that this critical information may likely taint the jury pool. they were already going to have a difficult time in trying to secure a jury that did not know not just anything about the case but may not have formed an opinion and now this further alleged that it because we have documentaries coming out with this kind of information. the dreyden has a bias in form [indistinct] and that is going to be a critical impact potentially in what we see going forward. >> john: trying to keep a pretty that hold on all of this information for the reasons that sonny just articulated. hot about the fact that some of this got out. based on sensitive information blocks previously publicly situated, was reported during

programming it appears likely that seven currently or formerly associated with law enforcement for the prosecution team violated this court's nondiscrimination order. if someone from law enforcement or 70 associated with the case did take this information, i mean, that would be something that a church would want to know about. >> and it is a huge problem in cases where there's so high-profile that there are people who are interested in the public and there are people who might want to leak it for various reasons or another. i watched the special take that was certainly interesting. some of the stuff i think a lot of people who were really closely following its already knew. a lot of stuff has already come out. you read the pleadings that are posted online by the idaho courts and watch the oral arguments go on online. you can see a lot of the stuff is already come out and sell i think there's a concern about how much information is already

come out and as we know from the diddy trial and all these other high-profile cases it is not going to stop them from impounding injury. it may take longer and there might be appellate issues because there are cases where they think that the panel jurors who were had pretrial publicity exposure. the e end of the day, they will impanel as much of an impartial jury as they can. >> john: and the fact of the death penalty on the table, i think the judge wants to make sure that this goes forward smoothly as possible. and the defenses job i guess is to try to derail the proceedings they threw a wrench into them earlier this week. what they suggested that there is an alternate suspect that investigators should be looking at. is about the new post what about it. the judge is telling lawyers to name the suspect and offer up any actual evidence they have against him. he said with -- what attends attorneys was injured -- objectionable.

to present evidence to back up their claim. is this just the defense trying to throw smoke and spaghetti at the wall? or could there be something to this? >> this is the defense team doing with that defense team does. it -- this third-party corporate defense is also being used in another high-profile case. it is not unusual. they have to do whatever they must do in order to take the light and to take their lands off of their client. so suggesting potentially having the evidence are two different things. that is why the judge zipps before i allowed this to go forward, i don't want to speculation and innuendo. i need to know exactly where you're going with this. with the information is pickup and how yo you're going to maket happen. yurasek this in another case. , for defenses doing that there. it is not unusual but they are going to go forward either way and no matter how it plays out,

we're going to see this case to the end. >> given the preponderance of evidence, lexi can the defense raised this idea of an alternate suspect. >> they are going to try and there's a big difference between saying there's a smokeout, it cannot -- versus saying, was bob smith. whoever bob smith was making up a name. that is the difference. they. they can just put me into some specific person and say it was him and ambush the prosecution of the topic they have to have some type of evidence and the need to disclose things to the prosecution order to do that. that is no different than other defenses that they have tried such as alibi. he can't just bring it out of the trial. it is an interesting theory. it is being raised very late as we know that the trial is scheduled for august. but they also said recently that this is based on a tape. and so we will see. and we will also see if this ends up delaying the trial.

i want all i want all that, we will see where this all goes and we will find out if the defense comes up with anything by the 23rd. thanks for joining us. i hope you have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> john: now there's' neck given everything we know after months of working on this, nothing is going to happen. until president trump sits across the table from vladimir putin and puts it on tomorrow, puts it on the table but i think that is the only chance we have to of peace at this point. >> sandra: secretary of state marco rubio on up peace. the first direct talks between russia and ukraine yield any results? >> john: and a new spin on a summertime favorite. an award-winning ice cream parlor making a big change to its ingredients. the owners of next on why they are saying goodbye to dyes.
