And I don&#8217;t think we have all the answers to \u2062that. I think we should have all the answers to that. It&#8217;s interesting how incurious our corporate media is about what happened in Maui. I mean, I don&#8217;t see them interviewing parents who can&#8217;t \u200cfind their kids \u2064and people we know, there&#8217;s a \u200blot of people missing. So that was a total disaster, really, really heartbreaking to\u200b hear some of the stories, even though they&#8217;re not being publicized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-lt-gov-suggests-residents-gambled-with-variable-rate-energy-plans\/\" title=\"Texas Lt. Gov Suggests Residents \u2018Gambled\u2019 With Variable-Rate Energy Plans\">governor emphasized<\/a>\u200d the stark contrast\u2062 between the situation in\u2064 Maui \u200band the hurricane in Florida, attributing Florida&#8217;s \u200bpreparedness \u200bto his administration&#8217;s proactive \u2064measures.<\/p>\n<h3>Florida&#8217;s Preparedness<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Florida, \u200cespecially under my administration, extensively prepares for these types of events ahead of time,&#8221; DeSantis explained. \u200b&#8221;The federal\u2062 government&#8217;s role is\u2062 just turning \u2064on \u200cprograms that Congress has enacted over many, many years. It&#8217;s basically serving \u2063as a checkbook to get people reimbursed for debris cleanup and to provide individual assistance. In that\u200d sense, I anticipate a smooth process. \u2064However, most of the nuts \u2063and bolts are \u200dhandled by our\u200c local communities and the state of Florida. \u2063Disaster response is really a bottom-up approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis highlighted\u2062 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-world-that-misunderstands-suffering-thinks-euthanizing-healthy-people-is-a-cure\/\" title=\"A World That Misunderstands Suffering Thinks Euthanizing Healthy People Is A Cure\">crucial role played<\/a> by local governments in warning residents about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-rips-biden-and-the-media-over-total-catastrophe-in-maui\/\" title=\"DeSantis slams Biden and media for 'disastrous' situation in Maui.\">potential storm surges<\/a>, stating, &#8220;The\u2063 state manages and assists,\u200c but the\u2064 bread and butter lies with the local communities. The checkbook from \u200cthe feds is great, and we&#8217;ll utilize all available resources \u2062to help Floridians. However,\u200c we&#8217;re not relying solely on the federal government for day-to-day heavy lifting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As \u200cFloridians, as people\u2062 in the counties and municipalities, and of course at the state level, we will take charge,&#8221; DeSantis concluded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MUST WATCH: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonDeSantis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RonDeSantis<\/a> rips Biden and the\u2064 media over the &#8220;total catastrophe&#8221; in Maui.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lodv1PXvS1\">pic.twitter.com\/lodv1PXvS1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Giancarlo\u200c Sopo (@GiancarloSopo)\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GiancarloSopo\/status\/1698487757704708324?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September \u20644, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the Biden administration and mainstream media for neglecting the devastating fire that destroyed a historic Hawaiian town.
