YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Maxwell Frost joins The Fifth Column (episode #558) in Washington, DC for a wide-ranging conversation about life in Congress, Florida politics, and how this aspiring jazz drummer ended up becoming one of the youngest members of the House ever (kind of, I don't mean to diminish the youth of William Charles Cole Claiborne. RIP Billy, forever young).
The guys talk with Rep. Frost (aka Mister Maxwell) about the collapse of cheap practice spaces, his early work on campaigns and what you get paid doing that; the impact of Sandy Hook, March for Our Lives, Florida’s fight over felon disenfranchisement.... and what it’s like trying to find common ground in a state full of MAGA boats, Confederate flags, swamps, and very complicated politics.
Then things get a little more Washington: housing, junk fees, Medicare for All, whether Democrats can actually use power, Trump’s corruption, Biden’s DOJ, Brazil’s response to Bolsonaro, political violence, Epstein, UAPs, Cuba, Venezuela, and the question of whether Congress can do anything useful before everyone gives up and starts a band.
