DeSantis during his press conference said:

The striking thing is that we've got a lot of problems in this country and that's obviously something you got to deal with but it's striking that. So many of these problems have been created by Biden and his administration. Since he's become president I mean think about gas people are chafing at the pump because you've had 40 50 percent increase in the price of gas. Well, why is that because they shut down the Keystone pipeline?

So consequently you're importing more from countries like Russia, So that's bad for consumers because they're paying higher. But then it's also bad for our national security because that's effectively the fuel that is giving Putin the ability to do what he's doing so we were energy independent. 

If it was not for those really misguided policies that have been done over the last year you look to see about inflation it's a huge problem. And it's much higher than seven or seven and a half percent. When you look at things that really matter gas is much higher, food is higher than seven percent up. You look at construction costs building homes and all this a huge increase in materials to be able to do that. The question is why is that well one thing that's facilitated it is they printed trillions and trillions of dollars and the solution we're told is to print trillions and trillions more no that will exacerbate the problem. You look at some of the problems with the supply chain we have these ships sitting there you know you have restrictions that have been imposed over the last year or two uh that have stopped. 

We've worked to be part of the solution on inflation but printing trillions of dollars is fueling inflation it will not cure inflation. So it was very I think frustrating to hear that a problem that was fueled by those policies that the solution is to do more of the reckless spending. You look at the border we want a secure border well he's the one that opened the border are you kidding me if you look at the increase in people that have come illegally two million people come illegally from over 100 different countries over the last year. 

During this press conference Ron DeSantis was also talking about cyber security in Florida, he said:

“Expanding Florida’s commitment to creating opportunities in cybersecurity and IT is a top priority to keep our communities safe and our state secure,”. “This funding will not only create opportunities for Floridians seeking jobs in this important field but will also improve our national defense, protect Floridians and their businesses, and maintain the integrity of our elections. By doubling available opportunities in this field, Florida continues to lead,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis.
