Communism is the easiest sell in politics. Every society is an inverted pyramid.

And so it's very easy to tell them, look guys, if things aren't working out, I have the answer. I'm going to use government. Government is going to be the vehicle to take more from these people that's flatten that triangle. What we will do is to buy those lands that be out of production to give them poor countrymen. Fidel Castro that. He said, give us all your property. Give us all your businesses. And we'll make

everybody equal. And he did. He made everybody equally poor, equally miserable. I just don't understand how this guy thinks. This guy, meaning madame, thinks that he could squeeze more money out of people without seeing a mass exodus. To raise $10 billion a year that would make those buses free to pay for universal child care. You know, people talk about gun violence in America. So if you were to look at gun deaths in America, we would rank up there, maybe top 20. But if you pull out the top five or the top 10 blue cities in America, you take out their homicide, we'd go down to like 180. Everybody in Miami has guns and we have the lowest homicide rate.

So is it a gun thing or is it a social policy thing?

Is it that sort of Cuban PTSD that we have in Miami that will always save us?

All right, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.

I should say outgoing mayor, Francis Suarez.

We've done this many times before, sometimes digitally, sometimes on location in Miami, sometimes in this room.

Right before we sat down, we agreed no jackets.

No jackets.

You could be retiring.

This could be your retirement show right now.

It's like a weekend thing, right?

I'm very glad to have you.

Everyone knows how I feel about the free state of Florida and this city in particular, which I think is the number one city in this country.

We're going to talk about all the successes and all of those things. But your tenure is coming to an end. We'll talk a little bit about the upcoming election. Likely. Likely. Well, why don't we start with that? Sure. Likely. Why likely? So the way it works in Miami, and not everywhere is like this, you have an election, which will be November 4th. Just like in New York, there'll be a November 4th election. And we'll talk about that, I'm sure. No doubt. And to win, you have to get 50% plus 1. So what happens is there are probably half a dozen serious candidates. So the likelihood that someone reaches that 50% plus one threshold is very low.

So there will more likely be a runoff. The runoff will be in early December, December 8th.

It takes a few days to certify the results. And then the new winner is sworn in five days after the certification. So when you do all the math, the likely first day for the

new mayor, last day for me is, I think noon on December 17. So that's my Arevadurchi day. Most likely.

So in that you have had such a successful tenure here. And I'd love, and I know you love going

through the numbers. So I'd love to hear some numbers about the economy and homelessness.

I still tell people all the time that you literally once, I was live on air. I said something about the, like, I said something like, we have 100 homeless people in Miami, and you texted me during the show and you gave me the actual number. So I know we can do all that stuff. Sure. But as the tenure is ending here, there is another Suarez who's well known in this town who is running.
