Ron DeSantis

more than 700 people rescued so far

The operations to help people there have been mostly by air.

Now, I think that there`s going to be issues with being on some of those islands, because they`re not going to have services like we expect for quite some time, given the limitations of transportation.

We absolutely expect to have mortality from this hurricane.

Governor Ron DeSantis calling it historic.

I would say the most significant damage that I saw was on Fort Myers Beach. Some of the homes were wiped out.

Now, I think that there’s going to be issues with being on some of those islands, because they’re not going to have services like we expect for quite some time.

The governor has asked for a full complement of federal help, which he should. It is the right thing to do.

We have now officially sent the letter with the request to the Biden administration for a major disaster declaration for all 67 counties, requesting the federal government do 100 percent reimbursement up front for 60 days to ensure that we…

Folks should be prepared if you`re in this region, that there is going to be an interruption of power. So just plan on that.

We feel like we have a good relationship with FEMA. I`m happy to brief the president if he`s interested in hearing what we`re doing in Florida. My view on all this is, like, you got people`s lives at stake. You got their property at stake…

Governor DeSantis took credit for that flight to Martha`s Vineyard.

Governor DeSantis wanted this political play to keep him in the national spotlight.

They were hungry homeless, they had no, no opportunity at all. State of Florida it was volunteer, offered transport to sanctuary jurisdictions, because it's our view that one, the border should be secured, and we want to have Biden…

the problem is we`re not seeing mass movements of them into Florida, but it just coming in onesie, twosies. But there`s no way you can possibly track all of that because it`s on such a small scale.

We are not a sanctuary state, and it’s better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction. And, yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you.

The one place in our country where we see virtually no law and order is at the Southern border. And this is a crisis now getting a little bit more attention. This is a crisis.

This is a crisis now getting a little bit more attention.

Every community in America should be sharing in the burden. It shouldn't all fall on red states.

we`re not just arguing about tax rates, we`re not just arguing about normal policies. You know, we`re arguing about whether people that dissent from leftist ideology should have any voice in our government in society at all.

I do have this money. I want to be helpful. Maybe we`ll go to Texas and help. Maybe we`ll send to Chicago, Hollywood, Martha`s Vineyard, who knows?

There are also going to be buses, and there will likely be more flights.

I've got $12 million for us to use, and so we are going to use it, and you're going to see more and more, but I'm going to make sure that we exhaust all of those funds.

What would be the best is for Biden to do his damn job and secure the order.

every community in America should be sharing in the burdens, it shouldn`t all fall on a handful of red states.
