Lots of breaking news happening today, but we want to dive right into a very viral news story of my appearance on Gavin Newsom's podcast.

91.631 - 113.761 Charlie Kirk

So just to be very clear, why Gavin Newsom is hosting a podcast is pretty evident. He wants to try to run to the middle and try to moderate ahead of the 2028 presidential race. I am the first guest, and we had quite the conversation. Challenged him on a lot of different issues. Did not challenge him on everything I wanted to.

114.302 - 135.217 Charlie Kirk

Anything that comes to – this is kind of how it works, so we'll go through a lot of the tape. I thought I did fine. The team thought I did well, and you guys will be the judge. Anything that has to do with California – It gets into basically a shouting match. And it's like, you don't understand. I know better than you. We're doing all these superfluous community committees.

135.657 - 159.231 Charlie Kirk

And it just kind of gets deadlocked into a draw. It gets hyper emotional on anything related to a specific of California. The premise was that Governor Newsom wanted to have me on his program to learn from me and MAGA faithful as to why they are getting their tail kicked. And we went into it. We went into homelessness. We went into school closures.

159.391 - 190.071 Charlie Kirk

And the one that is making the most headlines is the issue of men in female sports. And I love debate. I'll debate anybody at any time. And as far as if this is the best use of his time while people still do not have homes in the Palisades, that is a good argument. Now, this is the longer clip. Let's just start here. around men and female sports. This is going very viral.

Chapter 2: Why is Gavin Newsom hosting a podcast?

1204.979 - 1212.806 Gavin Newsom

I know. I just have a problem with, you know, who the hell is going to decide that government? I mean, Doron DeSantis is going to decide what I can read or say in the boardroom and the classroom.

0

1212.846 - 1227.411 Charlie Kirk

This is the exercise of politics though. The exercise of politics is the highest form of community because it blends morality and sociability. So what we do is we have discussion and elections, and we have boards and commissions, right? And we as a people say, okay, no porn for 10-year-olds. And that's politics, right?

0

1227.431 - 1237.573 Gavin Newsom

I mean, I'm not saying that there's some sort of— We've got a stress test where the Bible's including that. I don't even want to go forward anymore on this. No, it's tough, but this becomes a dialectic.

0

1237.813 - 1240.313 Charlie Kirk

I have heard a lot. I've never heard—that's interesting, though.

0

1240.453 - 1255.303 Gavin Newsom

No, I mean, it's a provocative— I don't think it's fair. I don't mean to offend, but I deeply— Don't mean offend. By the way, if Father Kaz would be offended with me. If you think the Bible is pornographic. Most of these books are quote unquote not pornographic. There's sections that can offend.

1255.684 - 1258.146 Charlie Kirk

Of images that are very violating to young kids.

1258.206 - 1260.808 Gavin Newsom

Some would agree on that. Can I just say one other thing?

1260.908 - 1280.023 Charlie Kirk

If you want to learn, Governor, and I'm happy that there is a movement of moms that is not, that's growing, where they feel as if our kids are being hyper-sexualized. And I agree with them that they have to hear topics. Social media? Well, both in the social media and the classroom. So that's how you handle, in my opinion, the book banning issue.

1280.403 - 1298.456 Charlie Kirk

And look, Governor Newsom said, I don't want to go any more forward on this. Because it's very easy to say book ban, book ban, book ban when you frame it as what it is, which is a common sense just kicking out of pornography in our schools. And him mentioning the Bible is just so ridiculous. The only reason I did not get indignant...

Chapter 3: What are the key issues discussed between Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom?

1841.74 - 1855.328 Gavin Newsom

What were you drinking? Napa Valley wine. Oh, Jesus Christ. Here we go. I'm going to stop using my Lord and Savior in vain like that, man. By the way, forgive me. I deeply respect you. And by the way, do respect your faith. I'm serious. It's like the fourth time.

0

1855.388 - 1877.385 Charlie Kirk

I mean, come on. There's a contemplation of how many times he used our Lord and Savior in vain. I kept telling him to stop, and he kept on doing it. Let's go to more. There's so much here. The one I want to get into is Prop 16. So Prop 16 is one of the most radical things that has ever been proposed in the history of the state of California.

0

1877.765 - 1897.441 Charlie Kirk

He was not prepared to be able to defend this, and he tried to weasel out of it, saying, oh, I don't know the details of it. This would have made racial discrimination legal in the state of California, and the voters of California overwhelmingly rejected it. He knew I got him on finally a California detail in 2020. I got him on one California detail. He was not prepared for Prop 16.

1897.841 - 1918.352 Charlie Kirk

Kudos to Blake for pulling this one out. And it wasn't like a small thing. This was a major racial reckoning ballot referendum in the middle of 2020 that he endorsed. If you want to see kind of what he believes and why he believes it, he was not prepared for this one. He was, of course, prepared for wildfires, and he was prepared for homelessness. He's got all his little talking points for that.

1918.812 - 1922.515 Charlie Kirk

Prop 16, whoop. A little bit off edge there. Play cut 187.

1922.735 - 1927.417 Gavin Newsom

By the way, you're talking to someone who's never supported the defund police movement. I was explicit.

1927.918 - 1936.162 Charlie Kirk

Hold on one sec. You did support Prop 16 in 2020, which would have legalized racial prejudice, right? Prop 16 literally would.

1936.182 - 1944.226 Gavin Newsom

I have to go back to my Prop 13. No, no, no. You're smart. Prop 16. I taught 960 SAT, so a little humility. Hold on. You're the governor of the largest state in the country. No, no, no.

1944.666 - 1963.955 Charlie Kirk

I saw your debate against DeSantis. You're good at this stuff. You know what I'm talking about. Prop 16 would have had legalized racial prejudice, which got defeated by 16 points despite all the institutions. So you're asking me what did wokeism look like when California, when all the institutions, yourself included, with all due respect, embraced this insane ballot measure. Guess what?
