TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Ron DeSantis today joined the Doug Wagner Show live. The highlights are below.

Listen to the full interview here.

On his unmatched ground game in Iowa:

What everyone's saying, from Governor Reynolds to people that have been involved – we have the best ground game that anyone's ever been able to do, the most caucus commitments this far in advance of a caucus in modern history. We've got everybody, every county has got a chairman, we've got precinct captains in almost every precinct, over 1000, over 120 faith leader endorsements, oh and of course, we've visited personally 99 counties -- and actually done events in 99 counties. We didn't just stop to get gas in some of the counties. We went, we met, we talked with folks and answered their questions. And, you know, that's, I think what Iowans expect. I mean, they want you to come, they want to hear what you have to say, they want to ask your questions, and they want you to earn it. And so we're doing that, and we're going to continue to do that all the way through January 15.

On Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry:

I think a lot of this has been overdue. I mean, we've seen evidence of the financial corruption with his family, the exorbitant amount of money that has been going into the coffers of their family. Biden has made conflicting and false statements about his role in this. So they absolutely, an inquiry is warranted. And you know, I hope that they're able to be able to get all the information and all the facts.

On how he will reverse Bidenomics:

When people are going to the grocery store, you're talking about, over the last two or three years, you're talking about 50%, 75%, even doubling the cost of groceries. You also look at, if you want to buy a home now, with interest rates being where they are, the average priced home today, the monthly payment on a mortgage would be twice what it was four or five years ago. And that's really difficult for a lot of families who are trying to get ahead. So I think those are still huge things. Now there has been some let up on the gas prices, which I think people appreciate. But I don't think that was anything because of Biden's policies. I mean, I think that has to do more with other things going on in the economy. I think we need to open up all the energy for production. We need to produce as much as we can here, lower prices, lower energy costs across the economy, and actually be able to export energy to nations so that they don't have to worry about Russia and Iran and Venezuela. We should never have to go hand in hand to any of those countries, but we don't want our allies to be dependent on them either.
