Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Miami Mayor Francis Suarez about Miami's success story; the real reasons why Democrat-run cities are failing so fast; how embracing the American principles of entrepreneurship and capitalism led to Miami’s current prosperity; how lower taxes and a focus on individual opportunity have fueled unprecedented growth, making Miami one of the safest, happiest, and healthiest cities in America; why he remains committed to facilitating prosperity through private sector collaboration; addressing challenges facing native Floridians amidst Miami's growth; how empowering residents through high wage growth and educational initiatives is more effective than government handouts of affordable housing; how to tackle housing affordability with innovative, private-public partnerships; why rent control always fails; how Miami is looking into the future for its transportation options like urban air mobility and underground tunneling with Elon Musk’s Boring Company; Miami's immigration landscape and its impact; how the shift from wet foot, dry foot policy changed illegal immigration; how to address the root causes of migration, like political and economic desperation; how to deal with societal drug use through community engagement, mental health, and employment to prevent crime; and much more.
