Right now in the state of California, a boy by the name of AB Hernandez is competing in high school girls' track and field and has qualified in first place in at least three events.
As the state track and field meet gets ready to kick off, girls who would have qualified otherwise are forced to sit out so Hernandez can claim his medals.
Despite recently sitting down with Charlie Kirk and discussing the issue of men in women’s sports, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is doing nothing about it.
“You, right now, should come out and be like, ‘You know what, the young man who’s about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that shouldn’t happen.’ You as the governor should step out and say, ‘No,’” Kirk told Newsom.
“Would you do something like that? Would you say, ‘No men in female sports?’” Kirk continued.
“Well, I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. So that’s easy to call out, the unfairness of that. There’s also a humility and grace, you know, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression, and the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with, as well,” Newsom responded.
“So both things I hold in my hand. How we can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think you know is inherent ... but not always expressed,” he added.
BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler points out that not only was Newsom being dishonest in his appearance on Kirk’s podcast, but he was defying the president’s executive order.
“Remember that President Trump signed an executive order several months ago banning states from allowing biological boys, but I repeat myself, from competing in girls' sports, even if those boys identify as girls,” Wheeler explains.
“So the state of California is violating President Trump’s executive order by allowing boys to compete in girls sports,” she adds.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), an outspoken proponent of climate alarmism who is currently visiting China, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Chinese officials to discuss climate and other issues.
In a post on X, Newsom claimed that there is a "climate crisis" which is "the greatest existential threat" earth has ever encountered.
"California and China are two of the world's largest economies. The reality is, we cannot solve the climate crisis without working together. Despite our major differences, California is committed to stopping the greatest existential threat our planet has ever known," Newsom's tweet reads.

The Democratic governor was re-elected last year after surviving a recall election in 2021.
"Governor Newsom met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other high-level Chinese officials to discuss climate action, economic development, cultural exchange, human rights concerns, and democracy," a press release states.
"Throughout his meetings, Governor Newsom discussed how California and China can continue working together to advance climate action, promote economic development and tourism, and strengthen cultural ties. The Governor reiterated California’s commitment to serving as a reliable partner on the climate crisis, and how critical China remains in the world’s efforts to reduce pollution," the press release reads.
"The Governor and his Chinese counterparts touched on a variety of human rights issues including Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and Taiwan, as well as David Lin, a California pastor who has been imprisoned in China since 2006," the press release states. "The Governor also discussed the high-priority issue of the fentanyl crisis and China’s role in combating the transnational shipping of precursor chemicals."
Newsom visited Israel before heading to China.
The Golden State governor is slated to debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis next month. DeSantis is currently running in the Republican presidential primary.

The wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom testified in graphic detail that former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein raped her in 2005 — and a Weinstein lawyer pushed back with an aggressive cross-examination of Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Siebel Newsom offered testimony Monday and Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reported. Weinstein, 70, is charged with one count each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation involving Siebel Newsom, KCBS-TV said.
On Monday, Siebel Newsom repeatedly broke down in tears while saying Weinstein raped and sexually assaulted her 17 years ago in his suite in the Peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills, when she was starting out in Hollywood.
Siebel Newsom — a documentary filmmaker and actress — said Weinstein didn't seem interested in talking to her about her projects and said he was "going to get more comfortable" before he called her for help from the bathroom, the station said.
"I didn't know there was danger," she noted, according to KCBS. "I thought maybe he was hurt."
Siebel Newsom said Weinstein was "touching himself" and "tried to get me to touch him," the station said.
"I just was, like, frozen," she added, according to KCBS. "I was scared. This was not why I came here. It was like a complete manipulation of why I was there."
Siebel Newsom said she didn't recall if Weinstein carried her into the bedroom or dragged her there by the arm, the station said, adding that she testified that Weinstein began groping her breasts and touched his penis while she was standing and "resisting" against the bed.
KCBS said Siebel Newsom offered a "graphic account" of the encounter with Weinstein.
"I was afraid of what he was doing, putting his body into my body and hurting me," she testified, according to the station, and added that she put her hand on his penis and made some "pleasure noises" to put an end to what was happening.
Siebel Newsom also said she felt "tremendous shame" and "tried to put what happened into a box, even though it came out at times," KCBS reported.
"He had taken a piece of me," she added, according to the station, and also noted that afterward, she pretended like nothing had happened.
"I was so violated, and I don't know how that happened. I didn't see the clues, and I didn't know how to escape," Siebel Newsom said, according to KCBS. "He, like, destroyed me emotionally and physically. It made being in the entertainment industry really hard and not enjoyable."
On Tuesday, Weinstein attorney Mark Werksman — who suggested in his opening statement last month that if Siebel Newsom hadn't cast herself as a victim, she would be “just another bimbo who slept with Harvey Weinstein to get ahead in Hollywood" — aggressively questioned her, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Werksman asked why Siebel Newsom began sending Weinstein emails seeking to meet with him again about nine months after the alleged rape, the paper said.
“Are you free for coffee or lunch this coming Monday or Tues,” she wrote to Weinstein in September 2006, the Times said, adding that Werksman asked why she was seeking “to see your rapist as soon as you could.”
“It was just business,” Siebel Newsom replied, the paper said. “I was probably just trying to get advice.”
Werksman also asked her about a May 2007 email exchange in which she inquired about meeting Weinstein during the Cannes Film Festival in France, the Times said, adding that Siebel Newsom called her email “networking" and told the jury, “I was just hustling.”
“You were hustling with a man you claim violently raped you?” Werksman asked, the paper noted.
The judge sustained a prosecutor’s objection, the Times reported, and Siebel Newsom didn't respond.

Bay Area officials have come up with a new solution for the progressive utopia's ever-worsening homeless crisis: Why not just have local residents take homeless people into their own homes?
Last year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) actually invited more homeless people to come from other states to pursue "new beginnings" in the Golden State, adding that Californians "have a responsibility to accommodate" these newcomers. Well, it looks like he meant this literally, as according to the Mercury News, government programs and nonprofits are now asking Bay Area property owners to help accommodate the area's nearly 30,000 homeless individuals.
Homeless people have taken the governor up on his offer, moving to the Bay Area to take advantage of $820 per month welfare and food stamp provisions as well as notoriously lax law enforcement.
People say lack of housing forces local residents into the streets, but James says he came from Texas to San Francisco for the drugs, the non-enforcement of anti-camping laws, and the $820/month in welfare & food stamps. James says he sold fentanyl, 2 weeks ago, to a 15-year-old.pic.twitter.com/5qMr6tmlWs— Michael Shellenberger (@Michael Shellenberger) 1644416763
California's homeless crisis has only gotten worse since Governor Newsom was elected, but it's hardly a new problem for the Golden State. In 2019, BlazeTV's Elijah Schaffer shed light on the shocking epidemic of homelessness in Los Angeles. Watch the mini-documentary "Los Angeles Has Fallen" below:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has removed his children from a summer camp after photos emerged showing his maskless son indoors with other unmasked children.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the summer camp did not require masks to be worn — a move that was in defiance of the state's COVID-19 guidance.
Newsom's communications director, Erin Mellon, told Fox News on Tuesday that the pictures prompted clear concerns. Newsom had two kids, ages 10 and 11, attending the day camp, Mellon said, according to the Associated Press.
"The Newsoms were concerned to see unvaccinated children unmasked indoors at a camp their children began attending yesterday," Mellon told the outlet. "Their kids will no longer be attending the camp."
According to the outlet, the state's guidance for children ages 2 to 11 states that all must be masked during "camps for youth, youth sports, and other youth activities, including theater, and music performances, and band."
After the photos emerged and Mellon's statement was circulated, a copy of the camp's mask policy — a policy that was reportedly sent to all parents before the camp began summer sessions — began making the rounds on social media and clearly stated, "Masks will not be enforced. Please know that your child is more than welcome to wear a mask during camp."
Following the controversy, the governor's office issued a follow-up statement stating that the Newsom family "reviewed communication from the camp and realized that an email was missed saying the camp would not enforce masking guidance."
Activist group Reopen California Schools made headlines with a tweet pointing out what it said was Newsom's hypocrisy.
The tweet read, "#Breaking Photos posted to Instagram reveal Gavin Newsom's 10-year-old son w/ other kids maskless, indoors & not distancing at a basketball summer camp, even while spectating. This is in clear violation of his own mask mandates. Why can his kid be maskless, but not ours?"
The tweet continued, "The photos were removed from the summer camp's Instagram account once Newsom's son was identified, but there is [sic] plenty of screenshots and video out there. We have some. The Instagram post occurs as Newsom pushes for increased vaccine rates if we ever want to be rid of masks."

According to the Sacramento Bee, Zachreson leads the Reopen California Schools group, which is a "parent advocacy group" that is suing the Newsom administration over its in-school mask mandates.
Earlier this month, state officials announced that all California students and educators would be required to wear masks while in school even if they are vaccinated.
The group, according to the outlet, pushed for public schools to reopen faster during the pandemic, and is now advocating for more relaxed restrictions as the 2021-22 school year gets ready to kick off.
Reopen California Schools "argues masks should be voluntary for students and teachers, and quarantine rules should be relaxed so kids aren't kept out of school even if they don't have symptoms just because of a COVID exposure," the outlet added.
Zachreson told the outlet that the incident highlights what he says is Newsom's hypocrisy.
"This clearly demonstrates that he doesn't believe there's a risk," he said. "His kids get to live by a different set of rules."
An unmasked Newsom faced scrutiny and criticism in November after photos showed him dining with a large, maskless group at an indoor restaurant..
