Fox News Jesse Watters tried to clear up his earlier claim that Gavin Newsom was lying in a denial of a phone call with Donald Trump last month, but the California governor indicated that he would still proceed with his defamation lawsuit against the network.

Trump called the project - which was meant to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles - the "High Speed Train to Nowhere."

Newsom has defended the proposal as a break-the-emergency-glass maneuver to preserve what he has cast as America’s besieged democracy, arguing Democrats have to become more aggressive and creative to have a shot at blocking Trump’s agenda.

Gavin Newsom showed no remorse to Fox News’ Jesse Watters after the host was forced to issue a groveling apology over the network’s reporting on Donald Trump’s phone call to the California governor. Newsom filed a $787 million defamation lawsuit against the network—the same amount Fox had to cough up to Dominion Voting Systems for airing false claims about the 2020 election—claiming it misrepresented calls between him and Trump about unrest during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

Newsom laughed and responded, “You’re hitting me right there man, the California exodus. By the way, complete bulls—t. Now, the last two years, we’ve seen significant growth in California’s population. So it’s reversed, and record-breaking tourism.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) tried to get government employees to show up for work more than twice a week, but government unions said no.
