Jared Moskowitz of Florida is a rising star among young Democratic congressmen. He has a long history in Democratic politics and government, including stints as an intern for then vice president Al Gore, assistant on Joe Lieberman’s presidential campaign in 2004 and as a delegate pledged to Barack Obama in 2008. More recently he was an elected City Commissioner and a State Representative in his home state of Florida. Here's a fun fact: he was Ron DeSantis’s Director of Emergency Management. But today he is best known for keeping House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in his place. In the pod, Moskowitz criticizes former President Donald Trump's comments about Russia and NATO, expressing concern about the potential consequences of Trump's foreign policy decisions. Moskowitz also expresses support for continued American aid to Ukraine and emphasizes the importance of defending democracy and stability in the world order. He criticizes the chaotic nature of the current Congress and the lack of progress in addressing important issues. Moskowitz also discusses the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas and the hypocrisy surrounding the issue. The conversation also touches on the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, with Moskowitz expressing support for Israel and calling for a resolution that protects innocent Palestinians while eliminating the threat of Hamas. The interview concludes with a explanation of Moskowitz's previous work with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his decision to run for the House of Representatives.

Congressman Jamie Raskin (D) MD is in the forefront of holding the MAGA extremist Republicans in Congress to account. Making his fourth appearance on the Bill Press Pod, they discussed Hunter Biden and the House Oversight Committee. Raskin explained that Hunter Biden had been subpoenaed by the committee and had initially agreed to appear for a committee hearing, but the committee later changed the terms to a closed-door deposition. Raskin argued that Hunter Biden had been willing to participate but wanted the proceedings to be public due to concerns about the committee's handling of closed-room depositions. Raskin also discussed the Republican push to impeach President Joe Biden, stating that they have no case and that it is a humiliation to their party. He emphasized the importance of the 2024 election, describing it as a choice between a government that serves the common good and one that prioritizes private self-enrichment. Raskin highlighted the urgency of addressing climate change and the need for Democrats to take action.
