All eyes may be on Texas and Ohio this midterm season, but another surprising race is happening in Ana’s home state of Florida. In this episode, she sits down with David Jolly, the former Republican congressman turned Democratic nominee for governor, who’s trying to become the first Democrat elected governor of Florida in more than three decades. They talk about why he left the GOP and where he stands on abortion, gun violence prevention, health care, immigration, housing costs, and public education. Jolly also explains his push to stop new AI data centers, why he thinks Florida needs new leadership, and why, in the age of Trump, he’s trying to be Ted Lasso.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’schaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. 

The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
