The Dan Le Batard Show
#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

And what I keep hearing from people up and down the 28th Congressional District, up and down the state of Florida when I was running for Senate is,

The Dan Le Batard Show
#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

quite frankly the promise of the american dream the promise that hey one day if you work hard and play by the rules i promise i brought my parents to this country from venezuela and have them hustle so hard and work diligently to be able to give me a version of the american dream to go from an immigrant household with a pastor father with parents that were busting their butts to work really hard all the way to the executive suite at google like that's an only in america and then and then potentially and then running for senate and then running for congress that's an only in america story

And right now, that version of the American dream feels uniquely out of reach for the average Floridian.

Heaven forbid if they get a speeding ticket, heaven forbid if they get into a car accident, heaven forbid if they get an illness or a diagnosis, right?

And then they're going to be set back significantly more.

#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

And again, all of this, and I mentioned this earlier, all of this is going to get deeply upended and shifted because of technology.

The Dan Le Batard Show
#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

Technology is going to change the rules of the game completely.

And what you see is candidates end up leaning into these overly simplistic positions just to win votes.

#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

I mean, right nowβ€” It's also because they're all 80 years old, actually.

I mean, they barely know how to function their iPhone, and somehow these are the people that we're entrusting with ushering us into the next technological revolution.

100%, including Carlos Jimenez, right?

The Dan Le Batard Show
#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

I mean, Carlos is pushing 80, right?

And our Democratic nominee is not that much younger either.

#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

So it's not like we have a lot.

The Dan Le Batard Show
#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

At this moment, I would argue, demands a new generation of leadership in Washington, a generation of leadership that...

#BecauseMiami: Escape From (Alligator) Alcatraz

grew up around technology, ideally a generation of leadership that has worked within tech that understands how these companies function, how these technologies function.
