0:07.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, a major moment today in
0:16.3	the 2024 Race for the White House. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will officially announce
0:22.6	he is entering the presidential campaign and the way he's doing it is absolutely fascinating.
0:28.9	He's going to have a live Twitter spaces event. This is a way of speaking on Twitter about
0:34.6	something with Elon Musk and that conversation will be moderated by friend of the MK show,
