joining me from cedar rapid, iowa, with that exclusive interview is nbc news correspondent, dasha burnsty tour. 99 counties, been there, doing that. what is he doing differently now that signals a real change in the way he's going to run his campaign. what did he tell you? >> reporter: look, the problem for the republican candidates is they all want to stop talking about trump. that's hard to do when trump is dominating the headlines and dominating the polls especially with the latest indictment that is focused on the topic that they all want to avoid which is the 2020 election, and it's a topic that donald trump doesn't really want to stop talking about. i gave governor desantis the opportunity to just put this topic to bed and answer this one question very directly, which to his credit, he did. take a listen. >> so you recently said the election is what it is, you said all of these theories that were put out did not prove to be true. so can we just put this to bed so you don't have to be asked about this a million more times. yes or no, did donald trump lose the 2020 election. >> whoe

. >> yeah, and i was talking to des moines bureau chief for an iowa paper in cedar rapids and he was almost like the incumbent running in this field right now even though he's obviously not. let me ask both of you about this. trump's attorney is saying he can't get a free trial, trump can't get a free trial in washington, d.c. let's listen to this. >> we would like a diverse venue, a diverse jury. >> do you have any expectation that will be granted? >> that reflects the -- the characteristics of the american people. it's up to the judge. i think west virginia would be an excellent venue to try this case. >> speaking of the judge -- >> much more diverse. >> yeah, first trump is making this case about the first amendment and free speech. now his legal team is talking about diversity. that sounds -- what's the word i'm looking for? woke. >> that's a good point. d.c. is famous for being reluctant to convict. it's actually a pretty good venue to be a defense attorney. i talked to a federal prosecutor who's practiced in front of this judge who told me this judge is very tough on prosecutor

. >> dasha burns joins us from cedar rapids, iowa.a critical contest for desantis if he is to catch up to donald trump is iowa, of course. what else did you two talk about? >> reporter: well, that's absolutely right, andrea. iowa is everything. it is do or die here for desantis and for trump, by the way, because if he wins this state, it is all but over. in terms of what we talked about, we had a wide ranging conversation and when it comes to trump and the election, he made a new line of attack against the former president there as well. he essentially said that he set the stage for his own loss in 2020 by making mail in ballots more available by using the cares act, saying essentially that there were problems, in his view, with the 2020 election, but that the problems trump has been complaining about were of his own making. so that's kind of a new line that we were hearing from desantis in that interview. we also talked about abortion where he implied that he wants that issue to be left to the states. he did not give a clear answer a

and a sense of trying to do more for our community, but my staff and i back in our community of cedar rapidsour organization was putting together a presentation about human trafficking. this and into these stories, it hit me really hard. because i was the mayor, and mayors deal with things like making sure we have good neighborhoods and good police forces and economic development, working closely with all of our citizens on the quality of life. nowhere did we talk about human trafficking, so it definitely was slipping between the crack in a significant way and it struck me impact fully. in the drive back to the capital city of des moines, talking about this, i thought we have got to do more. and as a statewide elected official, i felt that i had significant policy to do something. with a quarter of a million businesses going through our office every year, there was a national steppingstone to be able to take some kind of action to start. for me, that was a motivator to the new process and starting to form our iowa businesses against trafficking. sara: we will watch a video about this coaliti
