Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Is ‘Gunning for His Own Show’ After Guest Hosting for Sean Hannity
In Touch ^ | 6.4.24 | Mike Hammer

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is making a shocking pivot from politics to showbiz as he eyes a spot on the FOX News primetime lineup, sources exclusively tell In Touch.

The politician Donald Trump once branded Ron DeSanctimonious is using his guest host gig on Sean Hannity‘s radio show as a springboard to the entertainment spotlight, sources say.

“DeSantis is gunning for his own show,” says an insider, who says the ambitious right winger may be aiming for more than just a guest spot. “Sean better watch his back — Ron’s not one to stay loyal for long!”

DeSantis, 45, still has nearly three years left as the Sunshine State’s top dog, but insiders say he’s salivating for more — and whispers in the corridors of power are that even though the petulant pol’s presidential dreams have been dashed, his hunger for the limelight hasn’t dimmed.

“Ron wouldn’t hesitate to jump ship for a big TV deal,” reveals a confidant. “He wanted to ditch the governorship to be the president. Sure, Hannity’s radio show isn’t the White House, and it’s not even part of FOX News — but it’s close enough to TV for Ron

I have coffee with my cat on my lap every morning while listening to news on the radio. Best way to get a lot of uncensored news in a hurry. Hannity comes on at about 10 on the west coast. His distinctive voice sounds great, not sure DeSantis has a great voice. Smart, yes and has a flare for the dramatic.

Remember he went to Brandon, FL to announce his opposition to some of Joe’s policies after football audience chanted “F Joe Biden” and announcer lied and said they were shouting “Let’s go Brandon”.

"Hannity? Oh wait, it was Colmes that died. Hannity is the instant replay of the previous talk shows. 😜"

LOL!! Hannity is an empty suit, a dullard. When I listened to his show many years ago, I thought he missed a lot of opportunities to counter RATS he had on his show. He failed to challenge them on what they said. His TV show basically became just a repeat of his radio show that afternoon. I always figured Sean had a sugar daddy or mama at Fox News to be able to keep a prime time show for so long.

Hannity is the top rated radio talk show host in America. Lots of people listen to him.


He is??

I had no idea.

Haven’t listened to him in 10 years.

I also listened to it.

DeSantis didn’t do a bad job but the material sucked. He couldn’t stop talking about Florida. Everything was Florida, Florida, Florida. There was also no humor.

He also took NO CALLS from the listeners which was a let down. Chip Soy and the fraud Thomas Massie called in and a couple other official, from Florida again.

Then he only mentioned Trump once at the top of the show and only in relation to Trump doesn’t have to worry about winning Florida, he is going to win it because Florida is so awesome thanks to him.

Couldn’t say vote for Trump or discuss any of the other matters with Trump or the election. He just says don’t worry about it which is bordering on suppressing the turnout at this point because that’s all he says anymore.

THIS IS A NATIONAL SHOW.

Not everyone wants to hear an infomercial about what you did in Florida. You would think he would have learned that after the Iowa 99 County Full DeSantis where he only talked about Florida 24/7 and the people didn’t want to hear it.

A Rush Limbaugh or Levin or Hannity he is not. Hannity does a million times better.
Ron has potential but he has a lot to work on.

The only reason for his radio show being where it is, is because Rush isn’t around anymore.

"The average person is a moron, so I suppose his mind numbing rhetoric works for them."

If they want to torture captured terrorists, they should make them listen to Hannity's radio show, and watch his TV show. I can't stand the dullard.

Hannity is an advocate. Just like Scarborough or Madcow. I remember him defending Dubya’s stupid globalist and liberal betrayals. Hannity can go suck cyanide. He can do it simply for his ill-mannered arrogance.

One of the reasons I don’t watch Focs anymore. Exceptions being Gutfeld and maybe The Five.
Hannity”s always interrupting the guests to add some inane comment about himself.
Just as bad as Biden.

I used to watch Bill O’Reilly many years ago, and I listened to his radio show sometimes. He was too much of a blowhard for me to continue wasting time on. When CNN was the only option for 24 hour news, I watched it. I think the last time I watched it was during Desert Storm. Once Fox News became available on Time Warner, I watched that, and no other news programming. When Fox News called Florida for Gore in 2000, before the polls had closed in the Panhandle, I shut them off until 9/11. I had them on again all day then, and when we went into Afghanistan and Iraq. Eventually I reduced my viewing of them. When Obama got elected in 2008, I stopped watching Fox News altogether. I couldn’t stand seeing that buggers face, or hearing his voice all day, so I turned it off, and haven’t been back since. Free Republic has been my go-to site for news for the past 26 years. Found this site on the Drudge Report via a link called “Whitewater Files.”

It was during the Obama years I started clicking on FR. I had The Drudge Report as my homepage for a long time until the Trump bears. When Drudge sold out FR became my opening page and haven’t turned back Although I do a lot watching rumble and u-tube.

I check The Liberty Daily, patriots.win throughout the day. I keep FR and patriots.win open all day so I can reload them. On Rumble I watch The Salty Cracker, and on YouTube I watch Mark Dice, Katie Hopkins...British political commentator, and Neil Oliver, Archaeologist, and Scottish TV presenter. He also has a show on GBN...British News channel. Most of the other YouTube channels I watch are history related.

Sean is a New York City Conservative: Only one step to the right of the NYC left-wing lunatics. He is still an anti-Trumper.

Sitting government officials should not host such shows.
