The Real Reason Blue Cities Are Choosing Decline | Mayor Francis Suarez

26 Oct 2025

Description

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Miami Mayor Francis Suarez about his final days in office; the success of Miami as a model of economic growth, safety, and resilience; why Miami could potentially vote in a democrat mayor; the upcoming mayoral election and the city’s political future; his father Xavier Suarez’s campaign and the challenges of modern politics; how media attacks discourage good leadership; Donald Trump’s redefinition of what it means to be “presidential” through resilience and strength; and why Suarez believes Miami is “politician-proof” thanks to its strong private sector and community spirit; the truth behind misleading gun statistics; why Democrat-run cities are choosing decline; Miami’s incredible success story; how low taxes, public safety, and innovation fueled the city’s growth; record population and economic expansion with 150% growth in a decade; achieving one of the lowest homelessness and homicide rates in U.S. history; rejecting “defund the police” and “no cash bail” policies; how strong leadership and law enforcement cooperation kept order during protests; concerns about proposed property tax changes in Florida; and Miami’s continued appeal to businesses, residents, and police fleeing blue cities; why a whole new generation of voters are being tricked into supporting failed socialist schemes by democrats like Zohran Mamdani; the influx of residents fleeing blue states like New York; how Miami’s pro-business, low-tax, and law-and-order policies turned the city red; the impact of Governor Ron DeSantis’s voter registration push; why high taxes and socialist policies in places like New York create economic “death spirals”; the Cuban-American community’s resistance to communism; challenges like housing affordability and traffic; and innovative solutions such as public-private housing, education reform, and tech-driven urban development; and much more.
