And isn’t it amazing?…..YOU ARE A “MAN”!! God bless you, SIR!! I knew you guys were hiding from us, incompetent “Deplorables”!! What a blessing for ALL “GOVERNORS” TO SEE…AND FOR ALL “MEN”…THE REAL ONES, LIKE YOU!!
DeSantis really cares for his state and his people i wish Cooper cared about NC 😢
THERE'S A LEADER WITH HIS SHIT TOGETHER.....
Yea but his state is in shambles. Tampas like a 3rd world country right now. Yea terrific!
@rickybobby7276 I live in the Tampa area and have so since 2004. You couldn't be more wrong, but then again you don't live here.
We have had hundreds of millions spent on infrastructure, new roads, new bridges, elevated bi-directional highways, and more job openings than workers.
You just like the governor, despite the fact he handles these emergencies better than any governor in the country.
How's the North Carolina Governor doing up there?
@@FrontLinePubI live in Tampa. Not supposed to have power until Thursday 10/17 according to Teco. Yea great job...half the city has no power for a week. Maybe they need to invest in underground power lines. Too much of the infrastructure depends on overhead lines that aren't designed to withstand 100+ mph winds which Teco claims is the reason it's taking so long to repair.
Proud Floridian of true leadership! #FloridaStrong We Got This ❤
Thank you Mr Desantis,may the lord bless you,and your family.
Many. Prayers. From. Arizona. ❤❤❤❤❤😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is a reason they tell you to have a minimum of 3 days of supplies stored up before a hurricane. That includes filling up your gas tanks in cars and for generator use. This alliws you to survive while suuply chains are restored.
💥 Hurricane Ian 2 years ago was a $hit show with many lessons learned. Now this is the best response to a hurricane ever!! ❤ Kudos go to governor Desantis & FPL for all their hard work.
Thank you to our Governor for all you are doing for our State of Florida.
So grateful for Gov. DeSantis leadership! From a recent Florida resident moved from California..what leadership should look like..Thank you Gov. DeSantis!
Politics aside this man is a true good human , People’s leader. Bless. Him
I’m not a huge Desantis fan
However he really is doing a great job with this series of tragic events
Thanks Gov
That’s how he approaches everything - he works hard, he knows his stuff and he doesn’t worry about the politics.
He is admirable- why be against him?
AMERICA NEEDS PATRIOTS
I SUPPORT RON N DON 100PER CENT
Why don't you like him?
@@evanna444 I'm not a Floridian, myself, or in any of these affected areas, but I'm similarly impressed. I don't agree with DeSantis on everything but he looks, to me, like he's doing a great job with his leadership on these multiple hurricane and tornado disasters. He's out there in front communicating regularly and very clearly with the public, he's been mobilizing massive amounts of resources and manpower, and very no-nonsense and action-focused.
Thank you, Governor! God give you strength!❤ Florida strong
Leadership with common sense and teams of know how beats bureaucracy any day! Thank you Governor DeSantis and all involved in this huge effort to clean up and rebuild ! Big love and hugs to everyone!
Thank you very clear information. Great team . God save America
❌Why hasn’t the Democrat NC governor do any press conferences❌
Under performers hate publicity.
Change your vote. Prayers.
The president we all needed and never deserved.
I’m impressed in a sense. But we need fuel or public fuel sites in the SOUTHERN part of hillsborough county. It is fuckin nuts out here Ron.
Have you seen any updates like this from the NC governor??? Excellent example of conservative vs liberal leadership. Thank you Governor DeSantis and team for being exemplary excellent public servants 👏🇺🇸🕊👍🇺🇸
All gas / fuel stations should be required t9 have backup generators.
The newly built ones are supposed to.
what we all need is all below ground power lines like other countries do..
@jasongregory3950 probably, but burying powerlines is very expensive and most of Florida is virtually at sea level, so the issue of ground water seeping into pipes makes maintenance of powerlines a more difficult and expensive proposition.
Best nation on earth. Thank you
God bless my Gov.De santis
Vero Beach has been impacted as well
Great job Governor DeSantis, Very impressed. You and your state are a model for proper government emergency response and preparedness.
I agree. God bless all of them.
Every event that comes against you, guys…PRAY/THINK/BELIEVE: Psalm 30:5. “WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, (and it may be a LONG night), But Joy comes in the MORNING, (when you have seen the “Salvation of the LORD”, and HE HAS HEARD AND ANSWERED YOU WITH THE HELP YOU HAVE NEEDED…)…SO REJOICE, and HEBREWS 10:39, ALWAYS!!🙏🇺🇸
Can Florida department of children and families please release snap benefits early we need the help!!!
DeSantis for 2028 Presidential candidate. The Best. Better then all th rest. Amen
Knows what he's doing. Gets it done. Allot of great people behind our Governor. He is THE MAN! THANK YOU TO ALL OF FLORIDA.
De Santis needs to straighten out FEMA and be in charge of that. He is so capable, positive and reassuring.
Cell phone towers should be required to have backup generator of some sort.
They do at least all the ones I have been to in my county. Its when they flood or the fiber gets cut feeding them they can be down for days.
great Gvr maybe Abbott should learn from him
Pasco, Polk and Hernando counties are out of fuel. Only very few stations with fuel this is everywhere right now.
I am impressed!!! Ever tried a disaster in CA??? You do not want to!! Bless Gov DeSantis !!!
I have been in line at six different stations and they ran out before I got to the pump. I finally got a generator and I can"t get gas
Now my car is getting very low.
Head to one of these mobile sites if there's one buy, things are going to be rough for a bit. atleast we have state government doing something.
Such an example of leadership.
We lost power Wednesday afternoon and now they are saying it’s going to be 10/17 before we get it back
We were without power for 5 days when Irma hit. Hang in there. Stay safe.
As a lifetime floridian one of the first thing you learn is own a generator (or 2) get a portable air conditioner if you want to stay comfortable. Power being out for 13 days has happened to me, twice.
Prayers for you and yours affected by these terrible storms🙏🙏 Governor you are the best🎉
Ron you really did an amazing job for your Florida people. I'm from ND watching and prayers to you all. You all are built different. I'm sure you guys think blizzards and negative degrees is crazy but you guys top us 😉
They have electricity. Just no gas!!!
I saw pictures earlier of huge gas trucks coming in with police escorts. So hang in there. They appear to be very aware of the gas issue.
thank you Governor DeSantis we love you 🙏❤️
Need a guy like that in North Carolina!
Wow!!! What an AMAZING Governor!!!
Positive Messages Finally!! - Stop all the Fear Mongering, please.
So Proud I voted for this man. He has been excellent and on every situation that has risen he has quick response. It is very humbling; I love this man. I been into many Hurricanes can no longer tell you the names of all or the order. Been in some that we had no answers or help for days, Without power for weeks not days. No gas too. We need more information for places like Polk County, and we need a TV station in Lakeland Florida. After the storm hit lights out and lost phones, we could not find a radio station covering the storm, all of it was damage to Tampa, while most of the state went through it. With Alarms going off before we lost phones. So, all we had was a radio, no news on the storm. We had two radios looking for it. I lost all electric and phone service was all about Tampa and how horrible it was why it went over them and after but crickets on other counties, we need more storm communication, internets nice if you have electric or a phone. I have both a emergency radio and alarm thing, and two regular battered operated radio. Coud not get Tampa Bay once lights were out when storm was over my house, and the others where Orlando same thing was all about them. We'd be mentioned for half a second. Other areas not mentioned at all. Not good enough. Needs fixed. Please someone send this to Ron DeSantis so he can make it happen for the next one. Never in all my life have I seen such leadership and all working together for us the people, has looked like a smooth-running machine. Love to see this man be Head of FEMA under Trump!!!!! Outstanding and proud to have voted for him. We've been in the best hands. From all the teams and men and women who have worked with him for us, we are extremely thankful. Prayers for all. Some of the jobs are very dangerous, especially the linemen. Always thought Senator Scott did a great job in crisis he was on it, but I think Ron DeSantis beats even him. Could not be in better hands. It the way it should be done. Peace!
I’m in charlotte county Englewood and still no gas no power no fema, national guard giving out MREs ice and 20 year shelf life water. Would you use that water for baby formula?? I mean they bragged how ready they were and we got nothing I’m a tradesman how can I get out and help when I can’t even gas up my van??
It’s been literally 3 days. We got power back in 2 days compared to Ian which took almost 2 months. Have some patience because it’s not like it’s been so long.
0:44 thank you Governor
Amazing simply relentless approach by Gov. and team.
Hopefully the rest of the Country will learn something from DeSantis... talk about taking care of your people Wow! ✌💜Quebec Canada
I hope to see that this channel and it’s parent company are donating generously to the victims, rebuilding efforts and the animal rescues because you’re making good money from these news stories!! Post the $$$$ donations up so we can see!!!
DeSantis and all the people working removing trees. Getting electricity back, and water all deserve the highest honors and tons of gratitude for the most selfless, heroically tireless job. Much love and appreciation to all of you..
Wait what??? Did he say 10 gallons of FREE gas?
My power was restored yesterday while I was shopping at walmart. Christmas shopping ❤
I feel that equating the immediate recovery efforts from Helene to preparation efforts for Milton is disingenuous, but I'm glad the storm is over, I hope Florida recovers as quickly as possible.
Wow, wow, wow, wonderful team working, from top to bottom, or vice versa.
Ok. That is a good manager. Thumbs 👍
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Desantis should be running FEMA. He is amazing.
Do they have enough landfills for all the debris?
Yes they do but I can't imagine how many pounds of freon will be released from the THOUSANDS of refrigerators & AC units that are going to the dumps in west florida.
Must be pretty old refrigerators…..new ones are Freon safe!
What about Indian river
Maybe i sound crazy but i promise our current administration is hoping all these places that have been hit by hurricanes are hoping theres low voter turn outs, plz do your best to get out and vote if possible. We need actual leadership in this country.
FL isn't a swing state and the election isn't for another few weeks. They aren't thinking in those terms.
Vote early. Track it.
As long as we dont ever try to destroy cash, keep the constitution, and respect eacjother well be better than fine. Is there anything we can do to help
GOD BLESS FLORIDA, and Gov. The Santis ALWAYS.!😎
👏🏼👏🏼
It's been 5 day's in New Port Richey has had electric and open gas stations with no gas?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am praying 🙏🏻 for everyone & animals that were in the path of this storm / Hurricane Milton 🌀 to stay safe 🙏🏻 & I am praying 🙏🏻 for all the First Responders & I am praying 🙏🏻 for all the Linemen to stay safe 🙏🏻 👮🏻♀️👮🏻♂️👨🏻🚒🧑🏻🚒💙🖤💙🖤❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being a wonderful Governor!
Smoke and mirrors. This guys a liar
We love his effortless constant communication with Florida residents. We love our DeSantis as our Governor. Trust, loyalty, and intelligence matters. DeSantis all the qualities as a leader of our USA Complete trust in his leadership as President 2028
Where is FEMA for Bradenton/Sarasota
"We" ....... Politicians are nothing like us.
Take the money from the immigrants& give that money to people who lost their homes!!
Trump 2024!
