KIRK that s that ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t happen You ░░░░░░░░ the governor should step ░░░░░░░░ Newsom Can I KIRK ░░░░░░░░ say no Newsom No ░░░░░░░░ I appreciate KIRK But ░░░░░░░░ would you do something ░░░░░░░░ that Would you say ░░░░░░░░ men in female sports ░░░░░░░░ Well it s I ░░░░░░░░ it s an issue ░░░░░░░░ fairness I completely agree ░░░░░░░░ you on that It ░░░░░░░░ an issue of fairness ░░░░░░░░ So Newsom It s ░░░░░░░░ unfair KIRK would you ░░░░░░░░ out against this young ░░░░░░░░ AB Hernandez Newsom I ░░░░░░░░ it s KIRK Who ░░░░░░░░ now is going to ░░░░░░░░ the state championship in ░░░░░░░░ long jump I can ░░░░░░░░ you wrestling with it ░░░░░░░░ So no I m ░░░░░░░░ wrestling I m not ░░░░░░░░ with the fairness issue ░░░░░░░░ totally agree with you ░░░░░░░░ the way as someone ░░░░░░░░ four kids you got ░░░░░░░░ got to KIRK And ░░░░░░░░ daughters right Newsom Two ░░░░░░░░ And KIRK And I ░░░░░░░░ a daughter too Newsom ░░░░░░░░ a wife that went ░░░░░░░░ forbid to Stanford and ░░░░░░░░ on the junior national ░░░░░░░░ team and a guy ░░░░░░░░ got into college only ░░░░░░░░ I was left handed ░░░░░░░░ could throw a baseball ░░░░░░░░ little bit or hit ░░░░░░░░ hit the ball for ░░░░░░░░ little bit So I ░░░░░░░░ sports And so the ░░░░░░░░ of fairness is completely ░░░░░░░░ And I I saw ░░░░░░░░ The last couple years ░░░░░░░░ did I saw how ░░░░░░░░ guys were able to ░░░░░░░░ that issue at another ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Not not weaponized ░░░░░░░░ t that s not ░░░░░░░░ Well weaponized may be ░░░░░░░░ you re right But ░░░░░░░░ were able to KIRK ░░░░░░░░ a light on Newsom ░░░░░░░░ it in a way ░░░░░░░░ frankly I they re ░░░░░░░░ that many out we ░░░░░░░░ talking about I think ░░░░░░░░ NCAA what Five hundred ░░░░░░░░ thousand KIRK Well Newsom ░░░░░░░░ no but I just ░░░░░░░░ t realize KIRK It ░░░░░░░░ 890 medals and trophies ░░░░░░░░ we know of in ░░░░░░░░ last five years That ░░░░░░░░ a lot Newsom No ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ me step back and ░░░░░░░░ completely fair on the ░░░░░░░░ of fairness I completely ░░░░░░░░ So that s easy ░░░░░░░░ call out the unfairness ░░░░░░░░ that There s also ░░░░░░░░ humility and a grace ░░░░░░░░ know that that these ░░░░░░░░ people are more likely ░░░░░░░░ commit suicide and have ░░░░░░░░ and depression And the ░░░░░░░░ that people talk down ░░░░░░░░ vulnerable communities is an ░░░░░░░░ that I have a ░░░░░░░░ time with as well ░░░░░░░░ both things I can ░░░░░░░░ in my hand How ░░░░░░░░ we address this issue ░░░░░░░░ the kind of decency ░░░░░░░░ I think you know ░░░░░░░░ inherent in you but ░░░░░░░░ always expressed on the ░░░░░░░░ KIRK No I get ░░░░░░░░ Newsom at the same ░░░░░░░░ deal with the unfairness ░░░░░░░░ So you re asking ░░░░░░░░ re asked you asked ░░░░░░░░ good faith question Newsom ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Like how do ░░░░░░░░ Democrats get out of ░░░░░░░░ wilderness Newsom Yeah KIRK ░░░░░░░░ one is an 80 ░░░░░░░░ issue New York Times ░░░░░░░░ right That s not ░░░░░░░░ right part crushed on ░░░░░░░░ And like KIRK Crushed ░░░░░░░░ and you have an ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Crushed Newsom in ░░░░░░░░ state to be like ░░░░░░░░ I have a heart ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Newsom for AB ░░░░░░░░ I have a heart ░░░░░░░░ the San Jose volleyball ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Yeah Newsom Let ░░░░░░░░ give them compassion What ░░░░░░░░ not fair is just ░░░░░░░░ like a women s ░░░░░░░░ women s sports I ░░░░░░░░ You know by the ░░░░░░░░ I agree with you ░░░░░░░░ agree with you And ░░░░░░░░ s interesting KIRK So ░░░░░░░░ I stress tested this ░░░░░░░░ I was wondering I ░░░░░░░░ you know in California ░░░░░░░░ I ve been a ░░░░░░░░ in the LGBTQ places ░░░░░░░░ face As you know ░░░░░░░░ in 2004 was marrying ░░░░░░░░ sex couples and I ░░░░░░░░ we have different opinion ░░░░░░░░ marriage equality and so ░░░░░░░░ ve been at this ░░░░░░░░ years and years I ░░░░░░░░ a backseat to no ░░░░░░░░ But I was actually ░░░░░░░░ the issue of sports ░░░░░░░░ in the last few ░░░░░░░░ is just exploded trying ░░░░░░░░ understand and understand the ░░░░░░░░ athletes in the NCAA ░░░░░░░░ hundred 10 thousand athletes ░░░░░░░░ 10 athletes and what ░░░░░░░░ how profound and even ░░░░░░░░ own friend cohort people ░░░░░░░░ the hell is going ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Mm hmm Newsom ░░░░░░░░ aren t you calling ░░░░░░░░ out When did this ░░░░░░░░ So in 2000 it ░░░░░░░░ out in 2014 years ░░░░░░░░ I was governor KIRK ░░░░░░░░ hmm Newsom there was ░░░░░░░░ law established that established ░░░░░░░░ legal principles that allow ░░░░░░░░ that allowed trans athletes ░░░░░░░░ women s sports But ░░░░░░░░ issue of fairness is ░░░░░░░░ legit So I completely ░░░░░░░░ with you And we ░░░░░░░░ got to own that ░░░░░░░░ ve got to acknowledge ░░░░░░░░ And I don t ░░░░░░░░ that through the prism ░░░░░░░░ politics Because you disagree ░░░░░░░░ same sex marriage on ░░░░░░░░ KIRK Mm hmm Newsom ░░░░░░░░ so I m not ░░░░░░░░ and by the way ░░░░░░░░ value the fact that ░░░░░░░░ re not trying to ░░░░░░░░ away from that principle ░░░░░░░░ electorally KIRK I m ░░░░░░░░ m I am in ░░░░░░░░ minority of that Newsom ░░░░░░░░ you re in the ░░░░░░░░ KIRK I am in ░░░░░░░░ minority Newsom And I ░░░░░░░░ t want to walk ░░░░░░░░ from this principle because ░░░░░░░░ s electoral but it ░░░░░░░░ an issue of fairness.”
