Summary
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.
Today Bill highlights the work of Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen, now providing food to people trapped in Gaza. Please join Bill in helping their efforts by going to WCK.org.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends and neighbors, and welcome to a very special edition of the Bill Press pod. |
| 0:12.7 | Well, as they say, our next guest needs no introduction. |
| 0:16.9 | Yeah, not if you've watched any of the hearings of the House Oversight Committee, |
| 0:21.4 | where Chairman James Comer has failed time and time again to make the case against Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. |
| 0:28.8 | Why? Well, one big reason is because every time a freshman congressman from Florida named Jared Moskowitz makes a fool of him, pointing out |
| 0:39.4 | very colorfully and very effectively that Republicans just don't have the goods. |
| 0:45.5 | Like in their last hearing, where Moskowitz ridiculed Republicans for insisting on holding Hunter |
| 0:51.4 | Biden in contempt for failing to answer a congressional subpoena |
| 0:55.1 | when Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, and a whole bunch of others had failed to answer |
| 1:01.1 | subpoenas from the January 6th Committee. Jared Moskowitz may be only in his first term in Congress, |
| 1:08.4 | but he's already made his mark on the House Oversight Committee |
| 1:11.5 | and on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he's also been a champion for defending |
| 1:17.8 | democracy in Ukraine. It's another very busy week in Congress, but Jared Moskowitz today |
| 1:24.1 | takes time out to join us. Congress from Moskowitz, it's a great honor to welcome you to the Bill Press Pod. |
| 1:31.3 | Nice to talk to you. Thank you. |
| 1:32.9 | Thanks, Bill. Good to be with you. |
| 1:34.7 | So let's start with some of the breaking news, Congressman, over the weekend, shockwaves running around the world after Donald Trump told a campaign rally that if he were president |
| 1:46.0 | and some NATO member hadn't paid what he considered their fair share of dues, he would tell |
| 1:52.3 | Russia, you can do whatever the hell you want to that country and we will not interfere. |
| 2:00.6 | You're active on both the domestic front and the foreign policy. |
| 2:03.7 | How did that strike you as an American policy? |
| 2:06.9 | Well, look, Russia first. |
