I remember Baier being skeptical, confused, questioning when the flip happened and the count was “paused” in six different states at the same time, as was his co-host, then Fox went to commercial break and when they came back, Baier and the co-host were on board with the steal.
I don’t think they were told ahead of time what was going to happen, started to doubt it live on air, then were threatened during commercial. Probably don’t even need to have blackmail on this one. Simply tell them they will be fired, sued, and never work in television again. I think that would be enough to get most people to obey, and especially the types of people who had the drive to be a talking head on TV in the first place.
