Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cut through the red tape to rescue Floridians stranded in Israel. What we didn’t know is that he’s also planning to pick up non-Floridian Americans, as well as those Joe Biden dumped in Greece.
“We knew there’d be people that wanted to get back, many hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000. And they were not getting any luck with the State Department or with the embassy. So I did an executive order last week, activating Florida emergency response to be able to bring planes in there and take people back home.”
“I had mothers that were stranded with three or four kids. I had one family with ten kids that they were trying to get back to Florida.”
He explained that the rescue flights were not limited to Floridians: “If there are people that are struggling to get to Georgia or New York or whatever, we’re all Americans, and we want to help people, but it is limited to Americans.”

So we have more flights coming. The next one will be [Tuesday] morning. We are taking people from Israel, but we’re also going to stop in Athens, Greece, to pick up people that the federal government may have stranded...”
“You can come across the southern border, and the federal government will fly you all across the country, free of charge. They’ll put you up in nice hotels at taxpayer expense. They’re not charging the illegal aliens.”

“We, of course, do have an interest in recovering the hostages that are American citizens… But ultimately, it’s Israel’s war. We should support them, but it’s not something we should get enmeshed in with our own ground troops.”

“””So you’re saying Trump has lied to us concerning his wealth?
All Righty Then.””””
Don’t put words in my mouth. Didn’t you see the “reportedly” in there? with a little /s
Go, Ron, Go!
You are an idiot if you think Trump was complimenting the terrorists. He stated a fact. That ain’t the same thing
What power does a Congressman have to retrieve hostages, etc.?
well said *and done.*exactly why i’m supporting Gov. Ron.
Its a simple question. I’m trying to be nice. “What” did Ron actually do? I keep asking the same question, because nobody will answer it.
You also think Ron’s leadership skills have been on display as he has become unelectable.
Ce la vie
How or why is it possible that a governor of a state can get an airliner into and out of Israel but these people couldn’t leave of their own accord via an airliner?
I know what they are you clown
You’re big trying to take credit for something he has nothing to do with. I a feeble attempt to make himself look like something he’s not.
Nothing more
Again…..whose planes? Who’s writing the checks ?
One more time NautiNurse…..who is writing the checks?
If only the man had an aircraft at his disposal
And what power does a private citizen ?
As a member of congress he had the ability to speak with the state dept etc. he did nothing
Absolutely ridiculous statement.
Proud to support the best governor this country has seen since Ronald Reagan.
“What does “partnered with” mean?”
See link.
Snicker.
Stop asking question no one will answer because it ruins the Meatball Express narrative
Ha ha ha ha ha ….. my bad.
🤣
He should have waited til2028……He knows how to get things done…Saved Florida from the Covid crap….Got help to people in the hurricane in one day…
He does not have the personality to beat Trump….
He could beat Biden I think….GOP usually only wins when facing a failed president….democrats cannot make enough fake ballots
He has the ability to hire the best people…
