PRESENTED BY GAVIN NEWSOM

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) eulogized the recently deceased Charlie Kirk with the call to “continue his work” of “spirited discourse” and “good-faith debate”:

Hill Heat continues the work of collecting Kirk’s ideas and words and words below.

Charlie Kirk on Newsom and California.

“Gavin Newsom had a podcast strategy which I was the first guest on, where he was going to try to moderate himself, and try to do the bro-y podcast culture, which he was really bad at.“

“Gavin Newsom does not care, because he wants to be president more than listen to the voters of California. . . This is a guy who will say anything and do anything to be in charge.”

“You have turned it into a smoldering crater of its former self, and Gavin Newsom, he just wants to be king of the ashes even though California is an unrecognizable state of its former self.”

“When California, in a couple of weeks, comes crawling back for federal assistance, Trump should say, listen, I’m not gonna give you a dime unless you fire the lesbian Kristens. You mandate the proper forest management and stop controlled burns that Newsom has stopped. You cut it out with California’s failed diversity, equity, inclusion homeless spending. You require water capture instead of flushing it into the ocean. We’re not gonna pay for this anymore. This is your own making.”

“Turns out there was no water, but there is a lesbian fire chief. Which one would you rather have? Water? Lesbian fire chief? Lesbian fire chief? Water?”

“California, they’re so left-wing, they’re so liberal, they’re so out of touch, they’re so earth-worshipping, and now entire neighborhoods are gone as if an atomic bomb was dropped.”

“The Los Angeles Olympics should be cancelled. If you can’t fill a fire hydrant, you aren’t qualified to host the Olympics.”

“It doesn’t matter if your fire chief is gay black lesbian trans. It matters whether or not you have a capable firefighting force and they have intentionally tried to drive out all of the white people from the firefighting force in Los Angeles. ‘Oh, we don’t need white men to fight fires.’“

“I actually think Democrats believe that lesbians or gays have like some sort of magical superpower to stop fires.”

“Do we have firefighters that aren’t lesbian by the name of Kristen? Do we have the ability to respond to tragedy? Did we clean up the brush? This is a per—this is the embodiment of leftwing ideology. This is the manifestation of the woke. You can’t put out fires. You got a black woman mayor in Ghana. You got three lesbian fire chiefs in the name of Kristen. It does— this is peak woke.”

On Paul Pelosi’s assault by David Depape

“Why is the Republican Party, why is the conservative movement to blame for gay, schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry-makers breaking into somebody’s home, or maybe not breaking into somebody’s home? Why are we to blame for that exactly?”

“And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out… Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”

On the January 6 Insurrection, before and after

“This historic event will likely be one of the largest and most consequential in American history. The team at Trump Students and Turning Point Action are honored to help make this happen, sending 80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president.”

“Despite what the media and certain weak, intellectually compromised Constitutional scholars are telling you, Mike Pence does not have to accept the results of polluted and poisoned electors.”

“You acted as if, ‘Oh, all the people in on January 6 are the greatest threat ever’ because they went in with a pocket Constitution to go say a prayer in the US Capitol.”

“It’s bad judgment, all of a sudden, to climb the Capitol steps and walk in the rotunda; it’s just not wise. However, ‘not wise’ does not mean you’re an insurrectionist, ok?”

“The problem is that the MAGA patriots on January 6th, when they went into, for example, the Senate—where the Senate votes, or they went into some of the hearing rooms, they should have stripped naked and filmed themselves having gay sex. That would have solved all the problems.”

On education.

“The rise of anti-Americanism on college campuses is so dramatic. I believe the greatest threat to Western civilization is what’s happening on our college campuses today. I really do.”

“Professors that never could have succeeded on the outside. They are bitterly unhappy people that want to try to indoctrinate and deprogram America’s youth away from our fundamental values, because they’re just so malevolent towards the world that they could never succeed in themselves.”

On Jewish complicity.

“Jews are experiencing the hate that we white people have been experiencing the last decade, and we’ve been warning against.”

“Jewish donors, they have a lot of explaining to do. Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews and now they’re coming for Jews, and they’re like, ‘What on Earth happened?’ And it’s not just the colleges. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.”

“Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

“It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans.”

“Jews have been some of the largest funders of cultural Marxist ideas and supporters of those ideas over the last 30 or 40 years... Until you cleanse that ideology from the hierarchy in the academic elite of the west, there will not be a safe future.”

“It is wrong and repulsive to call a great man, Elon Musk, an antisemite.”

On religion.

“The spiritual battle is coming to the West and the enemies are woke-ism or Marxism combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life. And the American way of life is very simple. I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids, allow them to ride their bike ‘til the sun comes down, send them to a good school, have a low-crime neighborhood. Not to have my kid be taught the lesbian gay transgender garbage in their school, while also not having them have to hear the Muslim call to prayer five times a day. That’s important! We want the American way of life, which is, by the way, Christendom.”

“Think like Jeffrey Epstein with a standing army, that’s basically Muhammad, right?”

On Covid and vaccination.

“Now, there’s some debate whether or not there are fetal cells in this particular vaccine. I don’t know if that’s true or not. But some vaccines do have aborted fetal tissue.”

“Bill Gates has made a lot of money, obviously, and now he wants his next step in life to be micro-engineering the rest of the world to have mass vaccinations.”

“There’s this pathological fascination with mass inoculation, with mandating people to get the vaccine.”

“I grew up with four words that the left always would scream at me when I’d go to these campuses: ‘My body, my choice.’ And now they’re saying, ‘get the vaccine, racist.’”

“Your children are going to be test cases or beagles in cages. Your children are going to be experimented on.”

On race war.

“The resentment that the left-wing ruling class has for white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males is real.”

“Let’s talk about this war on white people. That’s a thought crime... the one type of racism you’re not allowed to talk about, of course, is the war against people who look like you and I.”

“There is a deliberate and venomous anti-white campaign in our country and it drives me crazy and we shouldn’t put up with it.”

“Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.”

“Men know the game is rigged against them – especially young white men.”

“White privilege is a myth and a lie. It should be completely destroyed. It is a racist idea. Why don’t they ever talk about Asian-American privilege?”

“The left would love to see a race war.”

On Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.

“MLK was awful. He’s not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe.”

“Who was MLK? A myth has been created and it has grown totally out of control. While he was alive most people disliked him, yet today he is the most honored, worshipped, even deified person of the 20th century.”

“I can say declaratively this guy [MLK] is not worthy of a national holiday. He is not worthy of godlike status. In fact, I think it’s really harmful.”

“MLK, in my opinion, and based on every objective analysis, he actually gave us more race focus and less emphasis on character and conduct.”

“[MLK] would be actually to be closer to a race Marxist, almost akin to DEI-type philosopher, if you go deep into his writings, especially later in his life.”

“Maybe once you break the mythical sainthood of someone like MLK, black voters will realize it’s being used against them to suppress the individual, and even more will realize they are on our side.”

“Telling the truth about MLK should not be trampling sacred ground. He was just a man. And a very flawed one at that. Worship God, not a mythological anti-racist creation of the 1960s.”

“Clarence Thomas was a far better black role model to celebrate than Martin Luther King. Period. End of story. This guy is not worthy of a national holiday.”

“I don’t believe Black History Month is worth the kind of full month that it is, at all.”

“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

“Until Trump came around, until the Supreme Court decision, thanks to the Civil Rights Act, if you have white skin color, it’s much harder to get into a college than if someone has black skin color. Much harder.”

On slavery and the 14th Amendment.

"First of all, Western culture is better and it’s a thoughtcrime to say it out loud. Number two, Blacks were sold into slavery by other Blacks. Can’t say that out loud, Thomas Sowell wrote that in great detail. Number three, when Blacks were given opportunities to return home, they did not want to return home. Blacks didn’t want to leave.”

“Now, the 14th Amendment is unbelievably important, obviously, but it’s way too broadly written.”

“There is an alternate interpretation that is respectable that there are people that sent their sons to war for sovereignty, not slavery… It’s a continual war on the American South. I was taught from a young age that dumb people live in the South.”

On the characteristics of Blacks and whites.

“I care about all people and I don’t look at people on based on race.”

“Just because you have a group of people who look the same doesn’t mean they think the same, and we have great intellectual diversity in our [almost entirely white] organization.”

“If we said Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called rrrrracists. But they’re coming out and saying it for us! They’re saying ‘I’m only here because of affirmative action.’ Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot... It’s very obvious to us you were not smart enough to get it on your own.”

“Black people tend to be more athletically inclined to be good at basketball. It’s just the way it is.”

“If I see a Black pilot I’m gonna be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”

“Hold on a second, you’re going to remove my appendix and you’re a Black lesbian?”

On gender-affirming care and gay and transgender rights.

“The facts that there are only two genders; that transgenderism and gender ‘fluidity’ are lies that hurt people and abuse kids; and that God’s good, loving, and joyful ideal for our lives is for a man and woman to be joined in a lifelong marriage covenant—these are all under official opprobrium in 2021.”

“We’re seeing men be able to win trophies and medals from women across the country, and they use the Civil Rights Act to justify it.”

“Conservatives, independent thinkers, and normal Americans need to realize that we’re being tyrannized in our speech, our institutions, our entertainment, and our education by a tiny minority of deranged, highly motivated, radicals who want to destroy the structure and order of society. They want anarchy in the bedroom as much, if not more, as they want it in the halls of government.”

“I don’t agree with your lifestyle. I don’t think you should introduce yourself just based on your sexuality because that’s not who you are.”

“We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.”

“Did you know that before becoming a hermit who mailed bombs to people, [Ted] Kaczynski also developed gender dysphoria and wanted to become a woman?”

“I reject the entire premise of transgenderism. I don’t think it really exists. I think it’s a mental disease, and we’ve allowed it to all of a sudden become an identity.”

“These people are sick. I don’t say that lightly. The NCAA is a perverted organization… I blame the decline of American men. Someone should have took care of it the way we used take care of things in the ‘50s and ‘60s.”

On men and women.

“If you have a male brain versus a female brain in chess you have a competitive advantage... Chess is very similar, by the way, to why women do not get into coding. Some do, but most do not. Why women don’t get into science, technology, engineering, and math.”

“Women are wired to be more emotional and liberal policies appeal to their emotions. The women project’s a whole different thing. Men are rational, hopefully so, in their politics.”

“Women are far more suicidal. But when men commit suicide, they’re much better at it. Women have far more suicidal ideation than men.”

“We should not send women into the frontlines of a conflict nor should we send men into the frontlines of educating our preschoolers. Let’s understand our differences and the denial of them creates moral chaos, panic, and confusion.”

“Our brains work differently. For women, conversation, especially conversation about nothing, is therapeutic. It’s very cathartic. For men, it’s exhausting. And for us, we like to unplug and we like to watch or see somebody else do something hard. That’s what sports is.”

“How many of you every single day it’s your purpose for being is finding a husband? Every hand should go up. But I thought you said you wanted an amazing family. You have to prioritize and aim at what you want the most.”

“Young ladies need to be willing to submit to a godly man when you meet one. And if you’re not willing to do that, then you got to pray about that, because a lot of young men in the dating pool say, ‘I don’t want to be bossed around all the time.’“

“Women are notorious for still remembering the details of arguments that they had from years ago.”

On empathy.

“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up New-Age term that does a lot of damage.”

“We have to tell our babies to stop crying. … I believe we’re broken by sin upon birth.”

“Don’t follow your heart. It’s a bad idea. Do not do that. You laugh, but the Bible is very clear. The heart is wicked. Do not follow your heart.”

We at Hill Heat are still looking for the good-faith debate.
