36:29Now PlayingThis episode features an interview between Hawk and Democratic candidate Gay Valimont, who is running for Florida's 1st Congressional District in a crucial special election on April 1st, 2024. Hawk emphasizes the significance of the race, noting that a Democratic victory in this and two other special elections could shift control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Valimont discusses the challenges facing her district, including a high population of military personnel and veterans who are at risk due to proposed Republican budget cuts to Medicaid, the VA, and other social programs. She also criticizes former representative Matt Gaetz for his lack of legislative accomplishments and addresses concerns over rising insurance costs, housing issues, and economic instability in Florida.
The conversation also covers broader national issues, such as the policies of Donald Trump's second administration, Republican efforts to eliminate federal employees, and legislative pushes for unrestricted gun laws. Valimont, a former leader in Moms Demand Action, expresses her strong opposition to new proposals that would allow unregulated constitutional carry. The two also discuss the difficulty of enacting voter rights and abortion protections in Florida, particularly after the state’s six-week abortion ban. Toward the end of the episode, they highlight the urgency of voter registration efforts before the March 1 deadline and the need to counter Republican efforts to suppress voter turnout. Valimont vows to fight against the current administration’s policies if elected and expresses her determination to bring change to her district.
