About this episode

Ana Navarro discusses Florida politics and a federal conviction with guest Marc Caputo.

Ana discusses Donald Trump’s dismal approval numbers before sitting down with friend, Floridian, and Axios senior politics reporter Marc Caputo. Together, they spill the tea on Susie Wiles, Pam Bondi, and Marco Rubio. They also unpack the scandal that deserves far more attention: Rubio’s longtime friend and former housemate David Rivera, recently convicted in federal court in South Florida for his role in a $50 million lobbying scheme tied to Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuela. Marc also shares a deeply personal note about his father, journalist and author Philip Caputo, who passed away on Thursday night. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
