Ron DeSantis gives FEMA a MASTER CLASS with Hurricane Milton response

Hurricane Milton has hit Florida, thankfully as a Category 3 storm instead of a Category 5. But unlike what happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, it looks like Florida will have rescue and recovery efforts under control. Glenn reviews Governor Ron DeSantis' promise that under his watch, Florida won't see the embarrassing FEMA response that North Carolina did. “When there is no leadership, the people perish," Glenn warns. But DeSantis has shown what a true leader can do. Glenn also reviews a prediction he made years ago on Fox News that is coming true this election season.

GLENN: Well, let me just say this. I don't know about you. But I was listening to DeSantis.

Let me see if we have the longer version of Ron DeSantis.

Giving the -- I don't have it. Giving the update, right before the hurricane hit.

It was pretty remarkable. Let's actually start on cut 13. As he's talking about looters and criminals.

VOICE: This is not going to be an opportunity, for folks to take advantage of people.

If you think you're going to go in and loot, you have another thing coming. If you think you're going to be able to go into somebody's house after this storm passes, if you think that you're going to be able to commit crimes, you're going to get in really serious trouble. And, quite frankly, you don't know what's behind that door in a Second Amendment state stop do not try to take advantage of people who are suffering because of the results of this storm. That goes for Helene, continually. But then, of course, that will be the case for Milton. I know we've already brought a lot of people. Held people accountable in post-Helene.

We will be very swift across all levels of government, to throw the book at people. And, of course, when you make these bad decisions. You're opening yourself up from property owners who may be inside that house.

GLENN: Did you hear what he just said? He is saying, justice will be served. It will be swift. But most importantly, we're the second responder.

The people behind that door, have a right to defend themselves and their stuff, so don't do it. That's an empowering leader.

That's somebody -- you know, we wouldn't have all of these -- these -- what? Conspiracy theories. All this. What are they calling it?

Disinformation.

It is not disinformation.

It's confusion, a lot of it. Confusion from what you've said and what you've done.

And then trying to explain in our own heads, what the hell is FEMA doing?

That's where it comes from. A lack of leadership.

When there -- when there is no leadership, the people perish.

That's exactly what's happening.

Notice, Florida has a strong leader, and they don't have this problem.

Here's what he said about FEMA now. Listen to this.

Cut three.

VOICE: Now, people have asked me about, is FEMA going to do this? Just let me be clear in Florida. We run the show. FEMA is not running the show.

We will utilize them to support some of the things we are doing.

But you are not going to see FEMA running amok in Florida. I know that's been out there on the internet. That is not going to happen.

I'm the sheriff that is in charge here. And we will make sure that we protect you. Don't worry about it.

GLENN: Okay. How can he say those things?

Well, he can say those things, because he's already you proven them to be true.

He's already taken before, when he was -- before he said that, he said, we have linemen from all over the country.

Already lined up, ready to dispatch, wherever the storm takes ground. Okay?

So he was telling people, we have this in place. This in place. This in place.

And we've seen this now three times with him, on major hurricanes.

So the people don't have to fear. What they were fearing in other states, was FEMA. And so what does he say?

And how could he possibly tell the federal government, mind their own business?

Because he's a believer in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights does not have any FEMA in it. The Constitution doesn't have FEMA in it.

That's a very nice thing to keep the government safe. But it's want their responsibility. It is the responsibility of the state government.

Everything not mentioned in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that power all is -- resides at the state level, and with the individuals of each state.

So what he's saying here is, you're right.

You're not going to have a problem with FEMA here.

Because I'm running the show, as constitutionally mandated. I'm running the show. And we're not going any of that nonsense down here.

Look at the difference between a strong governor, somebody who knows the Constitution, is not doing what they did during COVID and saying, hey. I'm just going to take power. No, no, no.

Everything he's doing is constitutional.

When you have a strong governor in California, you had a nonconstitutional strong man. That's the difference between a strong man and a strong Constitutional leader.

And notice where there's chaos, and where there's none.

Will somebody please recognize on the left, that what's happening in Florida, is remarkable?

That this is the way constitutional republics behave. This is the duty of a good governor.

These are all the hallmarks of a really well-run state.

He even addressed yesterday, the -- the vote.

Don't worry, we're already working on it.

If there's a problem, we will make sure that everyone's voice is heard, for the election. The guy is on top of absolutely everything. And then, the local sheriffs take care of the rest.

As they're giving the -- the speeches on take shelter. Get out of town.

Here's what the Flagler County sheriff, Rick Staly said. Listen to this. Cut --

VOICE: Anyone who comes in, we will be checking to make sure that they're not a fugitive and not a sex offender. If you are a predator, you are not allowed at the shelter. If you are a designated under Florida law as a sex predator and you need shelter, you need to go to the sheriff at Perry Hall, and the detention facility. That's the county jail on Justice Lane, and we will accommodate you in the lobby of that building.

You've probably seen that before, I would guess.

GLENN: So what did he just say?

Despite what anyone on the left might say, at some point. Oh, my gosh. He was taking sex predators, and saying, you couldn't come to the shelter. No. No.

I believe God's house is a house of order. There is no chaos with God. Look at the difference between this and the border.

What's the difference?

Our border is chaotic. It's out of control.

Here he is, in a crisis situation, and what is he saying?

Everyone must take shelter. However, when you're going into these family shelters, if you're a predator, we will be checking everyone's papers.

Kind of like what we should be doing at the border.

We have no problem with you, if you need to take shelter, or you want to do it the right way.

But if you're a predator, we're going to take to check your papers.

If you are a predator, we know you're a human being, but you can't be with the families in the mix. Because you've proven yourself to society, that you are not trustworthy. So you need to report here, we'll be taking you to a detainment center, where you'll be safe. And our families will be safe.

Do you see the difference, when law and order and the Constitution is actually in play?

This is what -- I almost called him Ronald Reagan. This is what Donald Trump is -- is talking about.

We have to return to law and order. Constitutional law and order.

I did a show on Fox years ago, about the pendulum. Do you remember that pendulum show I did on Fox, Stu, by any chance?

And I showed how it swings left and right.

But it's actually not left and right. It's the we and the me. Those are the two ends.

When we go too far in the me direction, you get the 1980s. Me, me, me, me.

And everything is about me.

And I only care about my wealth.

And I don't care about anybody else. Okay? That's the -- that's the zenith of the me. Those are dangerous for people's souls. But those times are not usually dangerous for countries or civilizations. Because you can't gather a group of people, to say, yeah. Let's go get them.

Because it's all about the individual. Okay?

Everybody is like hurting. I mean, go ahead. Try to whip up all of the Libertarians in the country, to go and vote for one person.

Good luck with that. Okay?

The other side is extraordinarily dangerous.

It is the we. We're currently at the zenith of the we. It's starting to come back. That's. You feel it. It's an 80-year cycle. Okay?

From point to return. We are now at the end of that cycle, of the we. Those are dangerous. The last one we had was during World War II. The time before that, was the Civil War. The time before that, was the American Revolution.

So you have this cycle, that keeps cycling through. The problem is: And this is what I said on Fox. Is at some point, if you weaken society enough, you'll get a strong man dictator. And I said, at the time, could be from either side.

But somebody who will grab the pendulum, and say, we're not moving from here. Because what we have to do is too important and the ends justify the means.

It stops the pendulum from naturally swinging back the other direction. And we're right.

For about a 30, 40-year period. Maybe 20-year period. In the middle.

Okay? When it's perfectly balanced between me and we. That's when we're in the safest zone.

Where are we right now? Everybody, both sides, are worried the next guy could be a dictator.

Why is that?

Because we have crushed our underpinnings which are the Constitution.

Ron DeSantis, they want to call him a Nazi and a dictator. He's not demonstrating dictatorial tendencies here.

What he's doing is living exactly by the Constitution. You can have law and order, and the Constitution.

Anybody who says we need, you know, extra, nonconstitutional powers.

Or they want to change the Constitution because things are so crazy.

You're seeing how wrong that is, by watching Ron DeSantis.

By the way, one is saying, that we need to do stuff like this. The other slogan is. We will not go back.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
