So I stand by what I said to him at that meeting, that you don't change the system, the system changes you.

And he's certainly been a profound disappointment to all of us who thought he was going to be this anti-corruption crusader that he was elected to be.

Everything he ran on, he sort of has done a shift.

And I've been thinking, Roy, of doing like some mini docs online about him called The Making of a Miami Mafioso.

Oh, because if you want to understand like what happens to you once you get elected to office in this town, he is living proof that how it started, how it's going, the videos of him running for office and after he was first elected as a real advocate for the people and what he's been saying in like the last year and a half or so.

I mean, it's like one hundred and eighty degrees.

You've opened up a whole other can of worms that we'll have to get to at another time.

But I will say, I think it's important that when you are a representative...

that the people you represent set the agenda.

And if you come to him with an issue that's not on his agenda, he is not interested.

You're going to get a text blast about you.

James Torres, president of Miami's Downtown Neighbors Alliance.

I feel like this is just the beginning of this conversation.

James, he's running.

Uh-oh.

Oh, wow.

All these cans.

Holy shit.

All these cans of worms.

Oh, he's looking at the one-termers.
