Gavin Newsom's Sean Hannity Interview: Homeless Crisis, Biden's Fitness And Other Key Takeaways

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sat down with Sean Hannity for an interview on Fox News' "Hannity," facing questions about the homeless crisis in California, among other topics.

This marked the governor's first interview with the conservative cable news network in over a decade. The complete interview broadcast on "Hannity" at 9 p.m. on Monday night.

According to an excerpt provided by Fox News, the California governor candidly stated there has been no progress in addressing homelessness in the state over the past two decades.

During the interview, the host, Hannity, questioned Newsom about the reasons for the state's backsliding on the issue of homelessness. Hannity also pushed back when Newsom attempted to attribute the blame to a Republican governor from 18 years ago.

"Because housing costs are too high," Newsom said. "Our regulatory thickets are too problematic. Localism has been too impactful, meaning people locally are pushing back against new housing starts and construction. I've been here four years. I can't make up for the fact in 2005 we had an historic number of homeless under a Republican administration."
