That donkey that donkey donke donkey. Donkey of the day. Right? Breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm. Neither do I. Donkey of the day. Donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 1 goes the former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's husband, Brian Noem. Okay, if you haven't heard, Brian Noem is a cross dresser, ladies and gentlemen. Okay. Her husband, Brian Noem, likes to wear oversized fake breasts on fetish websites. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please.

[E]

Former Hulk Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem is said to be stunned by a report that her husband may be leading a cross dressing double life. In a statement, Noem's representative says she is devastated the family was blindsided by this and they asked for privacy and prayers. At this time, the shocking story about Brian Noem was broken by the Daily Mail. The images appear to depict Brian Noem wearing pink hot pants and a Skin tight shirt stuffed with large balloons for breasts. We spoke to the Daily Mail's chief investigative reporter, Josh Boswell. So he didn't deny his involvement in this. And in the photos, you can clearly see it's him. So it'd be pretty tough to deny.

[A]

It would be tough to deny, and he didn't deny it.

[E]

According to the Daily Mail article, Brian Gnome sent the photos to people who were part of an online fetish community known as Bimbofication we, which celebrates women with very large breasts.

[A]

He wanted to emulate that. He wanted to dress up like them and put even fake breasts under his shirt using balloons.

[E]

It looks like.

[A]

It looks like balloons under the shirt. You can deny and say it's AI. Okay? This man was on bimbofication with fake breasts on. He wanted to give you a face full of his own twin engines, okay? He wanted to be smothered by his two warm bags of. And that's what he wanted you to do. He wanted you to motivate him. Okay? What I don't understand is how you go from liking big boobs to wanting some for yourself. Okay? What a household. The Gnome family is. All right, President Trump, you are really leaving a lot of money on the table not being in your reality show bag with this family. Okay? We can call the show Gnome Improvement or Gnome Before Dark. Maybe Gnome Economics, or we can just keep it simple and call it Gnome. But between Kristi Noem, AKA Ice Barbie having an open affair with one of her aides and her husband being a cross dresser, this is a reality show waiting to happen. Let me tell you something. For those of us watching on Netflix or seeing this clip on social media somewhere, allow me to hold up today's NY Post. Don't you get bricked up over there. Envy. Okay? Don't you get bricked up over there. On the front of the New York Post is a picture of Brian Gnome wearing the oversized fake breasts. And they have the headline, what a boob. Drop on the Clues Bomb for the New York Post. Oh, my God. When they want to get you, they get you. Okay, The New York Post calls this a bimbo bimbo for cation. Kink. Bimbo vacation. Kink. Now I listen to Decisions, Decisions with Mandy and Weezy. Drop on the clues. Bonds for decisions, Decisions. Okay? Make sure you subscribe to their podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And I've read their book, no holes barred. Okay? Go pick up a copy of that, courtesy of Black Privilege Publishing. They talk about a lot of kinks. Okay. I've learned about Pegging from decisions. Decisions. I've learned about scat play. Yuck. From decisions. Decisions. And I've learned about cross dressing from decisions. Decisions. I think they refer to it as training, okay? It's a BDSM lifestyle where there is a dominant submissive context where a person is trained to adopt ultra feminine behaviors, attires, and roles. It commonly involves feminization through cross dressing. So Brian Gnome was indeed in training. Now we know why Brian stood by his wife of 34 years, okay? Now we absolutely know, okay? Because even with the reports of her having an affair, okay. He can't say nothing. He was living a double life, okay? Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we like to wear double Ds. Okay? Double Ds for a double life. And this is what I don't understand about politics, okay? I don't understand people. I don't understand people who vote against their own interests. What's the point? Okay? Kristi Noem has been anti LGBTQ on a lot of issues, okay? When she was governor of South Dakota, she signed a Religious Freedom Restoration act, which LGBTQ advocates criticized as a measure that enables discrimination against LGBTQ individuals. Under the guise of religious liberty, Kristi Noem's administration terminated a contract with the Transformation Project, which was a South Dakota based group supporting transgender individuals, which later led to a lawsuit and a $300,000 settlement paid by the state. And she has express opposition to same sex marriage. Okay? Like, come on, man. She got sued by the Transformation Project for terminating a contract. So my point is, Republicans like Kristi Noem don't support this lifestyle through legislation. They speak out against this lifestyle. Meanwhile, they got people in their family living this lifestyle, okay? Engaging in full blown sissy training, all right? And don't get mad at me for calling it sissy training. That's the name of it, okay? I just don't understand why Republicans continue to vote and speak out against their own interests, okay? It's all performative. At least the Democrats on the down low don't vote against their own interests. Okay? You Republicans be out here cross dressing, sleeping with transgenders, okay? Being gay, but constantly passing anti LGBTQ plus legislation. I don't get it. I don't. I don't understand. Okay? Makes zero sense to me, all right? People like Brian need the LGBTQ community. They need the village, okay? Yes, they need the Village people. It is indeed fun to stay at the ymca, okay? It will give people like Brian the strength to fully commit to be who they want to be. Cross dressing is a gateway drug if you ask me. Okay? Pretty soft. All right? The hard stuff is when you identify as a transgender, okay? When you don't cosplay in women's clothing, okay, you say, no, I'm going to identify as a full blown women, okay? And those of you who go get the big chop. Oh, drop on the clues bombs for y', all, okay? You go get the big chop and you get the sideboard coochie. I respect it, okay? I respect the robo coochie. I really do. That is commitment, okay? I am way too indecisive to make a decision that big because once you chop, you can't stop. And I personally respect that decision. And that is the type of courage people like Brian need to be around. He needs the courage to be himself, okay? He's in a world in a political party where being who he wants to be and his double D's is frowned upon. And I don't like that. I don't like that. But you know what I don't like more? You know what I hate? Hypocrisy, okay? I hate people, especially politicians, who publicly have all this anti LGBTQ plus rhetoric. But in private, they popping that for the Internet, okay? It's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers. Please let Remy Ma give Brian Gnome the biggest hee haw. He ha. You stupid. Are you dumb? That is crazy. Yo. The big chop is wild, though. That is not what they do anyway. I mean. Yeah. Cause all of them ain't big. That's true. Some of them just get it built around the little penis because the little penis serves as a click. Goodbye. Oh, my goodness. All right. Thank you for that. Donkey of the day. What? Now don't do that. Anyway, I see it already. I'll be reading when we come back. Megan Good will be joining us. We're gonna kick it with Megan Good and my girl. Oh, she's your girl now? Yes, that's my girl. I love her so very much. Everybody know I love you. Ask me. Ask anybody about me. We'll find out why she was so disappointed in you. We'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club.
