So I live in a State that tends to have humid summers. My apartment entire apartment does not have AC and the room my beardie is in does not have A/C. This morning its very humid today. Should I get a dehumidifier for his room? I know high humidity can harm/kill beardies and I'm worried.

What is the humidity in his tank? You need to get a hygrometer- I recommend a digital one-- if its above 70% then yes get a room dehumidifier---

It's over 70 even with the temps all perfect? Thats hard to do.

Can you post a picture of your setup and your hydrometer?
Have you calibrated your hygrometer? Most are absurdly inaccurate.

I wouldn't say temps are perfect. Last two days the outside temp has been high 80s low 90s. Inside his tank its 100 with no lamps on (only UVB lamp on). I haven't turned the heat lamp on because it will easily drive the temp over 110. But yes the humidity was 70 or above. I have the dehumidifier running now and its back to 40/50% throughout the day.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
