About this episode
Texas Democrats fled the state to block Republicans from passing a voter suppression bill and finally held a highly-anticipated meeting with Joe Manchin. Brian interviews one of the Texas Democrats himself, James Talarico, about his viral interview with a Fox News host, his response to Ted Cruz’s criticism, and the likelihood of him and his colleagues getting arrested if they returned home. And Brian talks with epidemiologist and host of the podcast "America Dissected" Dr. Abdul el-Sayed about COVID and whether Republicans are ultimately just hurting themselves by opposing the vaccine.
