If they did exist. At the event horizon they would need to be travelling at exactly the speed of light. If they werent, they would not travel fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of the whitehole itself. At the event horizon of a white hole gravity pulls back space-time at exactly the speed of light.

Maybe what gets spit out of a white hole is energy / or light ( hawkings radiation? ?? ) so lets say a photon of light is emmited

would all other photons of light red shift relative to that one? photons that were emitted previously would be moving away relativistically and ones that were emitted after would redshift because I was moving away from them relativistically.

Right?
