| 0:00.0 | All right. And joining me now is Congressman Jared Moskowitz. He represents a congressional district in South Florida. And as you know, I always mock anybody that says South Florida, because that's always code for not Miami, as somebody who grew up in Miami. And in this case, because that is correct. This is a little bit of Broward County, a little bit of Palm Beach County. I'm just sort of teasing my fellow South Floridian here a little bit. We get upset about that, Chuck, by the way. Well, I get very, I'll say I'm from Miami and someone will say, oh, I'm from South Florida too. And I'm like, oh, so where in Broward County are you from? Yeah. It's like it's like we matter to Chuck. I'm not saying you don't, but you know, it's a grown up in Miami is a different animal, my friend. That's all I would say. Oh, especially now. I barely, you know, it's a totally different, it's a totally different place than where I grew up. But let me finish quickly your bio. |
| 0:55.1 | You've been a state rep. |
| 0:56.3 | He's a Democratic state rep. |
| 0:57.3 | He served in the DeSantis administration doing emergency management, got elected to Congress on the 22 midterms, I believe, serving now in his second term. |
| 1:06.9 | He joins me now. |
| 1:07.8 | And we were just joking. |
| 1:09.3 | I'm beating you up there in South Florida. We'll do a little South Florida stuff here in a |
| 1:12.3 | minute. But the fact that you worked in the DeSantis administration, that is not a shock to a Floridian, |
| 1:23.3 | that a Democrat would work for a Republican governor, if it had been Jeb Bush, Charlie Cr, Rick Scott, right? Like in some ways, Jeff Bush set the precedent on some of these things. But when I look at DeSantis today and I was wondering, huh, you got hired in the first term, would you have ever gotten that job in a second term? And you were telling me the answer. So tell the answer now what do you think the answer is no uh |
| 1:45.4 | i i don't think so the second term desantis uh administration very different than the first term |
| 1:50.5 | uh second term when you started susy wiles difference by the way well susy wiles is the one who hired |
| 1:57.9 | me right right she she vetted me she was part of the. No, I think the difference is when he ran for president and started this tack on the social issues again. |
| 2:10.3 | And then, you know, this the division. That was not the first two years of the administration. It really started, obviously, during COVID, |
| 2:18.6 | although I think there were a lot of things that we were right about COVID, about opening schools, |
| 2:22.7 | things of that nature that I was involved in. But look, the Division of Emergency Management |
| 2:26.8 | in Florida had a history of previous directors being from a different party than the governor, |
| 2:32.7 | because it didn't matter. How about Craig Fugate? |
| 2:36.5 | Working for Jeb and worked for Obama. |
| 2:37.1 | That's right. And he might be arguably, right, like one of the, you know, the best advisors you can have in that era. |
| 2:42.1 | No, one of the best of all time at both levels. |
| 2:47.1 | Those days, I think, are over now in Florida and in politics. |
| 2:54.4 | Look, the Trump folks, the Trump folks, you know, rumors that they were looking at me for FEMA. |
