Today, we're going to talk about Fox News and some high-profile Republicans miraculously

deciding to soften their tones on COVID and why.

I interview Congressman Eric Swalwell about the GOP's rejection of the January 6th Commission

and his response to Kevin McCarthy who opposed this commission while having bragged about

the Benghazi Select Committee because it hurt Hillary Clinton.

And I chat with the executive director of Florida Rising on Dre Amarcado about the best

way to bring Florida's Latino population back into the Democratic Party and whether

the GOP's fear-mongering about socialism is actually effective here.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening to No Lie.

And in almost unfathomable turn of events, some high-profile Republicans gave the country

whiplash this week when they started promoting vaccines.

And look, I'm no brilliant political strategist but I'm assuming, and stay with me on this

one, that Republicans having convinced their supporters not to get a free, life-saving

vaccine during a pandemic where the people dying are almost exclusively the unvaccinated

isn't turning out to be a great long-term strategy.

Turns out that condemning the people who listened to you to die at a rate of 99-1 might not

be the move after all.

Of course, they're not going to admit that, so the line they're going with is that the

Delta variant is just too dangerous to ignore.

Right, there's 600,000 people who died from the initial strain of COVID weren't enough

to raise eyebrows over at Fox, but the Delta variant is finally a strained, serious

enough that conservatives would dain't pay attention.
