Gavin Newsom: “Honestly, I kind of forgot that Ron DeSantis is still governor.”

August 29, 202500:40
00:00:00
Sean Hannity and Florida Governor Ronda
00:00:02
Santis. They've challenged you to
00:00:03
another debate.
00:00:04
Well, I think it's interesting that they
00:00:05
challenged me because it only reinforced
00:00:07
the first debate was Sean Hannity and
00:00:10
Ronda Santis. It wasn't against Ronda
00:00:12
Santis. I don't mean to be too
00:00:13
dismissive, but honestly, I kind of
00:00:15
forgot that Ronda Santis is still
00:00:17
governor. Yeah, I think they're having a
00:00:18
hard time over there at Fox. Look, I'm
00:00:20
the first to acknowledge the Trump
00:00:21
derangement syndrome, but they have a
00:00:22
California derangement syndrome and
00:00:24
increasingly a derangement syndrome
00:00:26
about me on Fox. I think the other night
00:00:28
they did seven or eight segments uh with
00:00:30
their prime time lineup.
00:00:31
Will you accept?
00:00:32
I have no interest whatsoever.
00:00:34
Literally, it's subzero interest.
