The fact that Governor DeSantis even has to say all of this - is INSANE.
Exactly.. The fact he even has to address things like "retail theft will be punished", "squatters are not tenants", & "1st graders should not be sxua|ized" is a sad reminder of where we are as a country.
Basic biology…………………two
You are going to go bankrupt building jails if you lock up every single shoplifter. A lot of states are having to close down prisons because they are causing budget deficits. Even red states.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” Isaiah 5:20. Have family who lives in california and the rampant crime is beyond belief. Keep the left OUT OF FLORIDA
@@mambi74 you are willing to pay 60,000$ in taxes to lock someone up for stealing a 5$ stick of deodorant? I can see locking up repeat shoplifters, but if you lock all of them up you are going to go broke real quick.
Florida just keeps looking more sane and saner each day.
Unfortunately all the nuts are moving there and bringing the insanity with them.
Very true... they're leaving the cities they voted blue in and heading to red states..
@@zippydoo9533 I agree, I lived in Florida in the past, I was a little younger. The one thing is , leave all that Northern woke logic up north....I am proud to not break the law nor have a record..and I am proud Florida is standing up for Family, Tradition, and God. I am saving to move back to Florida
Yep and it's gunna stay that way.
@@Getsome123 I love it and support it, y'all give me faith as a American, I hate DEI and lawlessness, I believe in merit...I'm Autistic, but I am not a victim at all.. because I still know right from wrong
“We’re going to punish Crime”.
Has to be said in a time of lunacy.
Wait until deepfakes are perfected
Wait so they were not punishing crime before this bill in Florida?
@@danielstarr8957 they don’t seem to care about the increasing number of road rage/shootings and aggressive behavior on the states roads! But they gonna pass more so called laws that are not even an issue here.
NY and NJ needs a guy like him.
We lock up the stuff in the stores but the ones who steal the stuff don’t get locked up. WTH
they will lock the products on the shelf but soon they will steal the whole shelf.
That's wild to think about. We lock up the products but not the people 🤦♀️
@@elliottb7009 yeah, makes no sense. Lock up the merchandise, but not the thieves... insanity.
Arent all the ppl in ny and nj solving the problem by moving to florida?
That's part of the plan in Dem run cities. Those cities will fall first. Not punishing criminals grows crime.
Once again.. a politician with BASIC common sense.
Man is dangerous
Too bad middle America diddnt have BASIC common sense to put this man as the front runner of the republican party.
Didn’t he talk about reducing the size of government but is also trying to put some of the most restrictive laws around what schools parents and teachers can do?
Tammy common sense would say you value small government, and then actually staying out of peoples lives - even if you don’t personally like it
Woah woah, you can't say common sense anymore it offends the libs lol.
@@scootergirl3662 Every public school district in the nation decides what will or will not be included in school curriculum. You only have a problem when it doesn't go your way.
DeSantis is the complete opposite of Newson, I hate living in California 😢
Move out! Wft are you doing there?
Same here. I’m planning a move to Fl at some point. Already went to visit and check things out. I think Homestead, Fl will be my new home. It’s gorgeous
@@reviewsandstuff4447wages for my profession are the highest in CA. It’s hard to leave and take a big pay cut. I live in the mountains so it’s bearable for now
@@GLo1991 Florida doesnt have state income tax, youll make more money compared to the cost of living in Florida.
@@swiiishgin1515 losing potentially 20+ dollars an hour isn’t going to be made up with a lack of state tax. I could be wrong
Meaning I’d lose about 20$/hr doing the same work in Fl. Still would be in the low 30s
Great job Gov. Desantis & Florida 🙌
As a Loss Prevention professional for 25 years, this is great to see. I know it was not easy to see through, and even more challenging for an elected official to understand the reality and how it affects the people.
Yeah, you think its a good idea for a 20 year old kid to do 3 to 5 and a life felon conviction for lifting some shit at WalGreens? Get real, this is a bullshit political ploy for a problem that doesnt exist in Florida to any degree. And if you really did that long in LP you should know better. Youll end up in a goddamn police state
DeSantis is one hell of a governor, everything he does makes for a much better living experience .
You do get that he only signs the bills into law, right? Its even veto-proof so he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
@@redwolfexr Yeah, but I don't see California signing these bills into law 🤡
Thank God for Florida. Thank God for the Republican Party. Thank God for DeSantis.
@@redwolfexr Let's go Brandon
Studio NYC54-4l9pt I do share your opinionion. Good luck☘️☘️☘️and many kind greetings from Zürich🇨🇭
@@redwolfexr awww…you live in a blue state with a commie for a Governor? You seem salty
My God… arresting people stealing from stores… who could’ve imagined that would reduce crime. I’m absolutely shocked. Next, they’ll hold people in jail for assault with a deadly weapon.
Meanwhile, Florida, per capita intentional homicide rate is HIGHER than California. The same is the case for rape. A look at retail theft loss statistics, per capita, and you'll quickly learn that Florida is also worse than California in that department. DeSantis is a clown.
Dont get too crazy now
We are going full circle and finally reached the justice system of 3000 BC.
Oh I can't imagine all this came from behind a mask and a little virus this is how Communism works in the Philippines they have armed soldiers on every corner
@Userft197
We need good women who are pure and shame those who are not. So I see this as a Win
Florida is doing it right!
What a man!!! What a leader!!! What a governor!!! What an American!!! Florida and Texas are fighting back,instead of taking money and being a do-nothing!!! We are behind you 💯✅‼️‼️‼️‼️🕺🕺🕺💋🦾🦿🙏🏻❣️😘✝️
My neighbors in San Francisco complain about package thieves, their cars broken into or their mothers got mugged but they still voting in the same politicians.
This is the problem. People fleeing Democratic run States will vote in the new States having no idea that the Democrats destroyed their original State. Hopefully people are rising up to how the Left is destroying the quality of life of normal everyday Americans.
Sos = stuck on stupid
Voting based upon words from a candidate is a feelings trap, the side doesn't matter. Look around and vote with your ears, eyes, and wallet.
We live in Sonoma and used to visit the City often. Davies Hall, Chinatown, Union Square, restaurants... With all the jackings, break-ins, homelessness and human feces we no longer go to SF. I feel sorry for the merchants and residents but what do you expect from a sanctuary city that hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1964? San Francisco is doing it to itself.
As a Floridian its truly amazing. Cote for someone who isnt on the side of criminals. Imagine if they had a Grady Judd out there yall wouldnt be coming down here! “ Papa Desantis” as we call him also just passed an anti squatter bill!!!! Last week! Whats not to love!! Why is this controversial????
I’m in California and have seen people come in, take bags of merchandise and walk right past the security guard while everyone else is standing in line, waiting to pay. It’s not right. California needs to follow this example, this stealing and taking things off of people’s porches shouldn’t be a normal occurrence. Squatters shouldn’t be able to take over someone’s property. This is common sense.
You are right - this is NOT right.
And it is organized crime. Worse IMO is that people knowingly feel entitled to buy stolen goods. (I've seen this - totally shocked me who all had no problem having someone shoplift-ft for them. Generally, substances are the root problem.)
Squatter’s right used to make sense. People would abandon their property so it’s free. Now every house is owned by somebody and or is given to someone next to kin. The law is from Britain 1400s. Than the settlers came with it. Basically for people to claim land and build homes without needing to buy land. So it had its time and place. Settlers is just a nice way of saying squatters. But basically all land is owned. Just doesn’t really makes sense now.
@@bewareofsasquatch Well stated.
Unless American history is studied, for migrants a big piece of this puzzle has been omitted. And ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Ya got what ya voted for…
Just don’t ever vote blue again.
Problem solved…
California won't do anything because politicians and their companies make money off federal funding to "help" and they just pocket the money. It's a black hole of good meaning money going into the pockets of your elected officials
👏👏👏👍👍. Hopefully every States in USA have this LAW. 🙏🙏🙏
Democracy, common sense, and pride in what's right. Florida is winning.
Other states should feel embarrassed. He's showing how easy it is to take action.
Other states like New York have high crime deliberately.
He's the reason this became a trend in the first place🤣🤣🤣🤣
@AllTerpsNoBrakes your confusing him with newsome. Newsome created the 900 dollar stealing limit.
Theft was illegal before him. He did nothing
He isn’t taking action. That’s for the police and courts to do. He is signing legislation. It
Its about time and well done Governor if only this was adopted nationwide.
As long as USA loating democrats hold power this will never be nationwide. Democrats are using thousands of instances of the Cloward & Piven strategies to create as much chaos as possible so as to collapse the system. If people don't know or understand the Cloward & Piven strategy it is impossible for them to understand what democrats are doing.
Don’t hold your breath for NY
The voters have to want it for a politician to enact it.
It could’ve been if the Republicans had wanted DeSantis instead of Trump, who only cares about himself and his money
& It will be, soon! 😀
Other States should follow Florida's lead ! 😊❤
No no no no no no
Absolutely agree
Hell no….he thought he could turn the entire U.S. to follow Florida laws he created….thats one reason why he failed as a candidate for presidency 😂
@@cojack424as a Florida resident i can say for sure you are wrong about everything. Trump got the nomination because the corrupt agencies conspired against him and put him and his family through hell. So trump deserves the job- and revenge. For now. 2028 Ron can be president. Every day more and more people from blue states come here because it is better governed and a better place to live. That is not debated by anyone.
My brother got addicted to opioids near Orlando. Totally turned him to a zombie and needed rehab. Help those to recover who are addicted and stop access to them for anyone where it isn’t absolutely necessary. It’s a solvable crisis for sure
The retail theft crap HAS to stop. Well done Florida.
Oh, it will stop. It's just to bad it will stop because there will be no shops to steal from in commiefornia or new yuck.
It’s not gonna stop. Theft has already been illegal and you can pass all the laws you want, and this will continue.
@@underground9260especially as corporations continue to price gouge. Dont get me wrong, a lot (if not most) of this is just criminals being criminals, but when the cost of necessities doubles over a year and a half with no corresponding change to wages, theft becomes some people’s only option to get what they need.
Doesnt make it okay, but it’s the reality
@@underground9260 it will not continue on in FL like it does in NY or CA. Bad policy created this and bad policies continue to nourish it
@@underground9260it’s called critical thinking. Try it.
DESANTIS BEST GOVERNOR IN THE USA
I concur!!
Proud Floridian!
Except for the anti-free speech hate laws he passed in Israel.. still better than any other governor.
Along with Abbot
Don't play in Florida they'll lock you up
@@johnrussell5896tiger king icy wyatt (yeager) found out the hard way.
Good news everyone, theft has been made illegal!
Thank you Mr.Desantis best gov ever for florida
If I lived in another state, and I saw this FL gov'r signing bills constantly against squatters, shoplifters and porch pirates, I'd immediately wonder, what the hell is my stupid ass gov'r working on every day that we never hear them do any of these things???
been wondering that since covid.
tbh these laws have hardly changed anything
@@TheAlreadybeentakenyour saying that you have not stopped stealing from stores because of the laws?
They are policing pronouns
@@TheAlreadybeentaken they were just signed. Changes don't happen immediately.
As a young teenager of the time in the 1990s, I was caught shoplifting for the 1st time before I got out the door. Was talked to by the cops. Was a scared kid after that. Learned my lesson, never again.
Same thing happened to me, but it wasn’t my first time, it was the first time I got caught. I was more afraid of my mom being called than the loss prevention team( I thought they were cops at the time). I felt so much shame when my mother showed up after working a full shift at a job she hated, picked up my sister from school, then had to come home to hear this and walk to the mall where I was apprehended. She wasn’t mad at me, but the tears in her eyes broke me. We prayed on it, and I never looked back. I often wonder what I would’ve become if I never got caught.
If both of you kind gentlemen don't mind me asking you this, what circumstances made you shoplift? Was it poverty, was it because your friends did it or was it just out of fun? Here in france we hear that if someone steals goods worth less than 800$, the shop owner doesnt bother going to the cops or as reporting it costs more?
As a 4 or 5 year old my grandma smacked and scolded me for taking a toy 🫡 love you grandma
Walmart used to have a walk of shame by police officers all around the store, if the shop lifters agrees to that then no police charges. Not sure if they still have that program.
@terryschnereger8531 Yes! Your statement is right on target. Too bad any of us have to say that we learned our lesson at an impressionable age.
EVERY STATE NEEDS TO DO THIS. Come on governors, mayors, and law makers , grow a pair.
About damn time! We need similar laws in EVERY state in the Union!
Desantis gets the job done! Sooooo much better than here in CA. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
CA Newsome can't even manage a small subway sandwich shop.
Exactly the Reptile is super crooked in California which I live in such a disgrace
Please run for governor in California 🙏
CA problems and Florida problems are different. Wealth disparity is IMO the biggest problem in CA leading to crime. Everything in CA is more expensive because CA makes a lot of money. People just trying to get by have a harder time in CA than in Florida and more people resort to crime. Trying to use laws to solve every problem leads to jails overflowing. I am not saying that CA should go easy on crime, I am saying it is not as easy as saying we are just going to be harder legally on crime. Higher fines and more jail time just make the desperate people more desperate and means more tax money needs to be spent taking care of them while in jail. As Florida becomes more prosperous which they clearly are, congrats to them, I wonder how they are going to deal with the problems of wealth disparity and overcrowding jails.
Gets the job done? Lol 😂😂😂 They have the same problems as other states that's why they are just now passing these laws. GTFO
I live in Portland Oregon, i was shopping for diapers, wipes & a few necessities at rite aid recently, I was budgeting with $20, meanwhile the other lady in the diaper isle grabbed EVERYTHING she needed & walked out to her bf in the car waiting. DISGUSTING. IM SICK OF IT.
I live in FL, and my sibling lives in Oregon, so I know exactly what you're talking about. While Oregon has spectacular natural beauty (coast, Cascades), I could never live there.
I am proud to be a Floridian
Excellent Governor !
Ronny does it again 🗿
First rule of being a Leader is Listening to others, being available, and not be prideful....

We need to challenge our state legislators in the other 49 states to pass similar legislation! Then and only then will we begin to see this shoplifting and porch pirating epidemic diminish. When punishments become severe enough these criminals will make that tough decision to cease and desist‼️
“Holding people accountable”! All states should adopt this common sense philosophy! Protect the hard working people of this country!
elections coming soon. put up a front.
Common sense is making the punishment fit the crime. And I support that. If you break the law you should be held accountable. This isn’t about accountability. To the best of my knowledge this law doesn’t change what is defined as theft. All it does is make people go to jail longer and pay bigger fines. For example stealing a $40 item now makes you a felon. If that is what you think fits the crime, then cool. I personally don’t think so. Also if common sense is your thing why does he cite California crime stats, and also say Florida theft is going down, to justify this law? There’s no common sense connection there.
Common sense and rightwingers are like oil and water.
@@FG-bu3jp lol I agree when it comes to maga
@@FG-bu3jp btw the people I feel most sorry for politically are Reagan republicans that had their party co-opted by maga. It would be like if the mod left were taken over by the Green Party if the Green Party was full of rage and liked to wave guns around instead of biodegradable straws
We had a press conference like this in Washington too but the sign said “cracking down on law abiding homeowners” I think now we are required to leave a package a day for stealing. It’s the least we could do for these poor criminals 😢
Good for FL. I'm glad to hear that you guys have a really good governor who will protect its citizens.
It seems like Florida is doing something good, making spring break safe, protecting homeowners from squatters, and now this! I’m impressed
Florida's looking like a better place to move everyday
Need to do something about the road rage shootings and aggressive drivers in this state. It’s gone out of hand but it’s not being addressed
...This GOVERNOR has the balls to say & DO what no other politician is afraid of confronting.
Only a few other governors seem to be considering laws like these. What the hell is wrong with this country?
Because crackdowns don't work
bahahaha OOOOOKKKKKKKKKK
Has the balls to make laws that prevents anyone under 14 from using social media.
Your sentence doesn't say what your intent implies. Get an education.
And yet the citizens are hiring attorneys to go after the stores closing down due to high crime, theft and violence. Are those same individuals denouncing this activity?
New York needs this desperately.
Being a small business owner in FL makes me proud to have a Governor like ours. Thank you sir.
Small businesses are the worst. We need to steal from them first.
More power to Florida. Perhaps the only place not protecting criminals
Nevada need this💪
Thank you Sir for what you are doing in Florida
This common sense should be apply in Ca..!!
Looks like you guys are going to have to start fending for yourself over there
No chance California will adopt this law... Unfortunately, we have Democrats in charge of California and Democrats love criminals.
But prop 47 was approved by the voters. Wonder what that says about the voters.
@@chrisman714368we basically already do or you just don’t survive.

I was in a Nike store and a group of people just walked out with a few boxes while a bunch of us were waiting in line. The alarms beeped but nobody did anything and it didn't faze the workers. I asked the workers about it, and they said it happens all the time and there's nothing they could do because they are at risk of losing their jobs if they chase or touch them in any way to get the goods back. If this continues what's making good Americans from saying fuck it and stealing since there is no consequences.
Great Job
Ron DeSantis tried his presidential bid a bit too early, I think. If he stays on this track, he may well be a President of the United States in the years to come.
Thatsxwhat I said. He needed to finish his business at home. But maybe he did it to get some experience to ponder over...
America wont exist years from now ! What experience did/ does Trump have compared to Ron ? None !
I would like to see him run again !
He should have ran with Trump, and it would have been a landslide win...
That's not why he's not the nominee. It's because we have too many people obsessed with, and WORSHIPING, Trump. If Trump wasn't sucking all the oxygen out of the room, DeSantis would win by a landslide. Trump is poison. He has an irrational psychotic hold on people. That's dangerous, and that's what's hurting our country.
Beat part: "in florida we lead, we dont just react." Its true.
Its about freaking time ...!!!
Well done Gov De Santis!
Love this man!
Great job Florida!
8 years of retail management and I can 100% agree the theft was out of control. The store had almost 0 control over it. What a joke our society has become. 0 accountability for stealing.
... Before we start talking "accountability" for stealing... Might wanna take a look at all the corporate fraud, tax evasion, and other white collar theft... Poor people stealing tens of dollars worth of stuff, while there's people stealing millions... Or we can look at the trillions the military complex takes in for bloated contracts to funnel tax payers' money into the hands of politicians and board members...
But yeah, let's start with protecting the corporations from the poor people, not the poor people from all those they make sure they have to resort to petty crime to survive.
Maybe lower inflation that might help
@@Thedevilswheelthe whole “don’t steal” thing is not really a conditional offer.
😂 CEOs make more in a week than the poor can steal in a month.
@@Thedevilswheeland stealing lowers that how? Just makes things worse.

Imagine locking up the criminals and not the products! Wow
I just don't understand how theft wasn't illegal already? This should have been done decades ago.
many states do not prosecute the thieves....
Please do basic research on what this aims to accomplish, vs its current state... I also have hard hearing and ADHD, but he also mentions that if you are a repeat offender, you will deal with higher consequences.
My suggestion : Don't try to understand liberal logic. It just never makes sense. Why they think allowing people to rob stores will stop crime is beyond me.
@@ChrisW-fj8bt Anybody who does not fully understand the end goal of democrat's Cloward & Piven strategy to create as much chaos as possible to collapse the system, cannot possible comprehend what democrats are doing.
It's always been illegal, yes. But, it makes thieves and criminals pay a higher price for their crimes. Repeat offenders will face more felonies which will give them more time in prison. It also holds DA's accountable unlike NY, Chicago, and LA
Thank You so much Gov De Santis ❤
i live in co and this is what needs to happen here holding criminals accountable and no longer blaming the people who do things legally
Best governor in America. We have merchandise lock up, armed guards and checking all grocery receipts by police. Kinda third world country. Tacoma WA.
Spokane here, I visited Seattle last year, and wow... amazing... I was blown away by the oppressive elements throughout the city. Every grocery store had police cameras and mall cops were right on you if you went mall shopping. Seemed pretty crazy. While cameras have gone up here and there in Spokane, definitely not pervasive like they're tracking you everywhere in Seattle.
Vote Democrat!! Why complain now LOL!!😂
@@LyricsQuest You get what you vote for.
They have it there as well…this is just all for show.
Finally a no nonsense bill in Florida ... you do the crime you do the time in jail ... jail and not bail.
I mean, the other bills have been great too. But I’m glad to hear at least one of them works for you.
@@Horizons1 Ron DeSantis is a great role model for other State Governors is what I meant to say ... he knows who he is serving, namely the electorate.
If you ain't got the time, don't do the crime xD
As time goes by I love this guy more and more for backing rule of law Wisconsin allowing mob of football players to jump a guy and then convicting him for defending himself.

so disappointing that we're left with Trump over him
Nope. His first responsibility was to the people who elected him, and the second he had a chance, he took the millions and try to get that higher office. He failed. Now he’s just doing his job.

@@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS...I disagree. Trump is too old..colored past. DeSantis is a experienced veteran, young, and has only one wife, and 3 beautiful children.
❤this is absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Gov. DeSantis.
While I agree shoplifting is a problem, the real root of the issue is that companies jack up prices to the point where they're unaffordable, blame theft for the increase in prices, all while recording record revenue and profit. The root of the issue here is bad government leading to people needing to steal to survive.
This is how your run a tight ship. Something the whole country should take note, especially NY, CA and WA.
Yea but unfortunately DeSantis is a basket case when it comes to other topics. If he knew how to be more balanced he’d be the perfect president

I hope the Governor of my state(New York) will follow suite and copy this Florida law...and enforce it, just like Florida!
This is the best governor of USA and he is actually doing something for the citizens and not for criminals and communism.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but Abbott might give him a run for his money. Can't put my finger on it, but there's something similar with these 2 governors.
@@chrischaffey1252they aren’t democrats for one
now that he is no longer forced to make a fool of himself by RINOs in the party by bad mouthing Trump, hes trying to regain his honor by going after the things Democrats Champion, Hes a FAR better Governor then a Presidential pawn for the establishment!

Meanwhile, Florida, per capita intentional homicide rate is HIGHER than California. The same is the case for rape. A look at retail theft loss statistics, per capita, and you'll quickly learn that Florida is also worse than California in that department. DeSantis is a clown.
Crazy how most politicians don't think like this anymore. Absolutely insane the way they protect these dirtbags.
Because they’re getting their own pockets full.
I’m happy to hear a governor who has a firm grip on the truth and how to enforce laws.👍🔥🔥🔥👍
Finally!!! Something good! And the the anti Squatter Law! So far these 2 things I really agree from this guy. Something that makes sense.
What's worse than toothpaste being locked up, is that the clerks get aggravated when they have to come unlock snd open it for you. 🤦
Who can blame them? It's got to be like working in a day care center at this point
Thank you! My daughter lives in San Francisco - the theft is unbelievable. Any theft under 950.00 is not prosecuted. Let that sink in. I’ve seen shoplifters walk right past police and the police will do nothing about it.
Are you kidding me!? That is like an invitation to steal! That’s crazy! I didn’t realize it was that bad there.
So someone goes after a PS5, then a TV, then a gaming chair, then in other places goes for food and whatnot.
It does not goes to jail? WTF
@@maryshellsmith6627its amazing that you hear a random internet person make a claim, and jump in, fully committed to believing it, without any critical thought or investigation.
Exactly. There is no way police just "watch" it happen @@kellanaldous7092
They didnt make it so it wouldnt be prosecuted, they just made the number higher for it to be a felony to adjust for inflation... LMAO. The fact criminals are getting inflation adjustments is hilarious.
Godspeed the Republic with common sense 😊😊😊😊😊.
Thank you!!!
All FL thieves, better move to CA or NYC.
I hear some live in Florida as a non-criminal and then go to N.Y. for their crime sprees.
Florida is #1 state.. i left NY shifty city!!!. Now live in beautiful kissimmee fl
Welcome to Florida!
This isn't even necessary if they would just arrest people for wrong doing. Except for the flash mob stuff, that may need to be spelled out and should be!
Check out the rental mall flash mobs that have gone down. It is a disaster.
Makes me wanna move to Florida today!!!! 👍💯
Glad he's my Governor of Florida.
LOL enjoy those home insurance prices while he repeats "woke woke woke" like a chubby bobblehead.
@@harveywilkinson2432 Our home insurance renewal came two weeks ago and went up $40.
@@harveywilkinson2432The home insurance is not his fault. The Democrats need to grow some kahunos like DeSantis.
@@jeremypatrick8057 It's a state-regulated industry of course it's his fault. Grow up.
My insurance renewal came last week and went up $40. It depends on where you live and who your insurance company is.
