DeSantis expressed his support for pro-life legislation and praised Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for signing a bill that bans most abortions after six weeks of gestation. He also stated that he would support other governors taking similar steps at the state level.
Changing Statements on Ukraine
Carlson then questioned DeSantis about his changing statements on the Ukraine war, which have drawn criticism from both the left and the right.
DeSantis, a Navy veteran, explained that his military experience taught him the importance of having a clear plan and criticized D.C. officials for lacking one. He emphasized that U.S. officials should prioritize America’s own border issues over those of Ukraine and Russia.
Ron DeSantis:
“I wish the DC elites cared as much about our border as they do about the Ukraine/Russia border.The cartels are running the show…If they’re breaking into our country bringing product..that will be the last thing they do because they will be stone cold dead.” pic.twitter.com/2HioYXFlro

DeSantis argued that the goal should be to achieve sustainable peace in Europe and that Europe should take more responsibility for managing the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He emphasized that the top threat to the United States is China and its ambitions.
Overall, DeSantis stood firm on his pro-life stance and criticized the lack of a clear plan in dealing with the Ukraine war. He emphasized the need to prioritize America’s own interests and national security.
