Jillian Michaels
All right, guys, welcome to the weekly rundown where the team and I go over the most viral clips in the news this week. We've got Brian Gnomes, autogynephilia, or as the Daily Mail has referred to it, his bimbofication. I can't believe I just said that. In the intro of a show, we're dispelling rumors, vicious rumors about Charlie Kirk, Erica Kirk, the bullet that supposedly did not match his gun. We're gonna debunk all of that. Cause it's totally untrue. We're tearing into the hypocrisy of the no Kings protestors because they deserve it. Ilhan is back in the news. Right when you thought it couldn't get worse, it suddenly does. And on that note, when you thought that it couldn't get worse than Gavin Newsom, his wife has stepped into the spotlight and it is staggeringly awful. All right, if you are liking the show, please be sure to like, share, comment, and subscribe. And click that bell notification because it helps us out a ton with the algorithm. Buckle up. Keeping it real with Jillian Micha.
Greg
All right, Jillian, I have been waiting all week to talk to you about this. This is a bombshell. We gave it a couple of days because this story is so outrageous. I kind of needed the dust to settle before I brought this to your attention. But this is Brian Gnome. This is the husband of Kristi Gnome. The allegations here is that Brian has been living a double life. A double life where he cross dresses and talks to fetish models on the Internet. Greg, if you want to throw. New York Post, definitely was all over this. Following up on the Daily Mail story where Brian chatted up women from the so called bimbo vacation fetish scene in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie doll like appearance.
Jillian Michaels
Wow. Okay, I. You know, guys, I have seen this in the news and I, I feel as though I want to try to not be a total weenie here. And, and let me, let me just explain and then of course, like, have at it and dine out on the situation. But I have historically not really liked Kristi Noem. And it started with her bragging about killing her dog. Do you guys remember that in her book, she put in her book that she shot her dog and I was like, okay, gross across the board, like, what is wrong with you? And then she would cosplay at dhs, which really bothered me. And like the full face of makeup with full hair and like an assault rifle or something. And it's not against the second amendment, but it just felt very self serving and very inappropriate. And I did not like the way she handled all of the craziness that went down in Minnesota. I thought that Tom Homan handled that much better. I thought that cooler had prevailed. I thought that somebody needed to go in there and validate the situation and negotiate it and make it come together for the sake of our sanity on the right and the left. And I thought Tom Homan did that. I thought she did not. When Trump let her go, I thought that was a smart move. However, however, hear me out. What she's doing in those scenarios is public. So as a public figure, when I go on camera or out into the world, there's no presumption of privacy. Right? Like, you know, what you say is going to get warped and manipulated and put everywhere and you own that. But this one, I kind of feel bad because. Because it is private.
Greg
And Greg, let's see some of these pictures.
Jillian Michaels
Imagine. Okay. Okay, show me, show me.
Greg
Go ahead, Jillian, you can, you can continue here.
Jillian Michaels
All right. Oh, geez. Okay. The former liberal in me is like, hey, you know, to each his own. Do you? But I think that there is just something inherently off here. And I don't mean to be a bitch. Nobody's perfect. But the reality is it's not normal. And I think that's okay. What do you guys think? I'm having a hard time with this. What really bothers me.
Greg
I'm going to tell you how this came to light. I'm going to tell you how this came to light. So Brian Gnome would go online and chat with these models. There was compensation involved in many instances. One of them actually eventually uncovered who he was. He was using a fake name and they figured out that his wife was Christy Noem, confronted him. And according to the same report, the Daily Mail story that the New York Post has now followed up on, Brian's response to that model who basically threatened to blow up his life here was, I don't care.
North Carolina Guy
Wow.
Jillian Michaels
Geez. Okay, well, he obviously does care. I think he was probably bluffing because she was probably trying to extort him. But I mean, what do you guys take away from this? I actually reached out. I was, I was a little bit disturbed by it. I reached out to Dr. Drew and, and I just said like, what, what is happening for somebody when their brain literally. When. When this is your thing. I don't. Okay. And it's autogynephilia.
North Carolina Guy
Yeah, that is. That is. I'll tell you guys this. I was actually. I was actually in a Victoria's Secret the other day, and I don't know if they had anything in there that would hold what we're looking at here.
Jillian Michaels
That's.
North Carolina Guy
That's. I don't get it. I don't understand.
Jillian Michaels
I don't get it either. But here. Here's the answer. Okay, So I literally. Well, here's the answer from Dr. Drew. He says it's called autogynephilia, which it translates to gender pleasure, which means that you get aroused from embodying or fantasizing about an exaggerated female self image. And he very clearly also has a sex addiction, in which case all this escalates. His compartmentalized world, where he is this Barbie doll character, begins to expand and take more of his time and become more bizarre. Then I said, how does this happen? And Dr. Drew said, Nobody really knows. Personally, I think subtle traumas suffered within the family of origin, where certain experiences become overwhelming to the child and then later becomes a distorted preference. How we get wired up is a very challenging landscape, and there's no real explanation that leads to this type of outcome. Double board certified, Dr. Drew, addiction specialist. That's the. I don't know, guys. I feel. I actually feel terrible for her. I feel terrible for her. Feel bad.
North Carolina Guy
I just wonder, you know, this was her husband, right? And, you know, I assume, you know, you share locations, you spend a lot of time together. This is, you know, the most intimate relationship that you have. How do you get blindsided by this? Like, you know, I mean, presumably they have the passcode to each other's phones, and, you know, you didn't see this in the camera roll. What. What happened here?
Greg
Well, on that note, maybe we. Maybe we wrap it up here, because this does. This does make me sympathetic here. So this is from the Independent. A headline. Kristi Gnome's husband's cross dressing was the worst kept secret in dc. That is what I'm seeing here is that people knew about this. Not only do they know about it, as people were talking about this, it seems like Kristi Noem might have been the last person to find out.
North Carolina Guy
I was gonna say, was she the last person in the room to know? That's wild.
Jillian Michaels
God. Well, you can go into denial about stuff like this. You can. It's like she's very caught up, for sure, in Projecting a certain type of image, full blown glam. She's. If you look at Kristi Noem back in the day, she looked nothing like the kind of glamazon that she portrays now. And this is my final thought. I'm gonna try to be not a scumbag here. My final thought is that when life has kicked me in the. And it has quite a few times, especially when I got a little too big for my britches, thought I was a little too cool for school life, gave me some serious whoopings, and what was a horrendous day for my ego ended up being a great day for my soul. So here's Kristi Noem asked for prayers. Here's my prayer for Kristi Noem. And I mean this with all authenticity. I actually hope that this takes her life to another level. Like, she could probably end up in a healthier relationship. One would think whatever sort of cause, play or projection or needing to appear a certain way in front of the world, maybe when that falls away, it'll allow her to get deeper to the things that really matter. I hope she comes through this better and stronger and in a healthier relationship. And that is my prayer for Kristi Noem. And, Brian, if you're going to do this, could you make your nipples point in the same direction? Because it's exceptionally distracting for me, I think that would be.
Greg
Amen.
Jillian Michaels
Shitty.
Host/Producer
So, Jillian, I'm sure you've seen the Daily Mail and TMZ has published an article about Charlie Kirk, and the Internet has absolutely ran with it. So I want to show you kind of some of the reaction videos to that headline. Guys, can we throw up? Sat 3.
News Reporter
Tyler Robinson did not kill Charlie Kirk. This is from the Daily Mail. They say the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson. According to new court filings, quote, Robinson, 22, is facing capital murder charges and a potential death sentence for Kirk's murder at Utah Valley University on September 10th of last year. But his defense attorney now argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was unable to identify the bullet recovered at the autopsy to the rifle alleged allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. Remember this gun right here that they told us was found in the woods? What gets even weirder now is that yesterday, the Washington County Sheriff, Nate Brooksby, who presided over Tyler Robinson's arrest, abruptly resigned following, quote, undisclosed complaints. The Salt Lake City Tribune says Brooksby's resignation comes after the county received complaints from individuals who are concerned with the operations at the sheriff's office. Office, quote, after the decision, the complainant asked the matter not be pursued further and respecting their request, which sounds a little bit like a cover up if you ask me. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling online that Erica Kirk, Charlie's widow, was having an alleged affair with Andrew Colvitt, who is of course Charlie's old colleague at Turning Point usa, also the spokesperson at Turning Point usa. Absolutely wild developments.
Jillian Michaels
Wow. Okay, you've given me a lot to digest. The first thing I want to do, though, is give credit to Dan Bongino and Brandon Tatum, who are out there immediately debunking this nonsense. So in the event that anybody missed them doing so, I'm going to do it for you again right now. We're going to go back to the beginning of James Lee's claim, and he's actually correct. The Daily Mail and TMZ did put out a headline that the bullet which struck Charlie did not match the gun. But they were wrong when they put out that headline. So let's go back to the beginning here. This entire firestorm traces back to a recent filing by the defense attorneys who are representing Tyler Robinson. So Tyler Robinson is the 22 year old who was accused of the September 2025 shooting of Charlie Kirk. Now, in their filing, the defense cited a ballistics report that was generated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, otherwise known as the atf. So here's the exact crux of that report. The ATF analyst was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. So Bongino points out that you have to listen very closely to that first freezing. Unable to identify. That's the key. Because in the strict scientific world of forensic ballistics, there's a massive chasm between an inconclusive result, as in we aren't able. Right. Inconclusive, and an exclusionary one. This bullet does not match Robinson's gun, which is not what the analyst actually said. So when the headlines are screaming does not match, they're implying that the ATF positively proved the bullet came from a totally different weapon. But cannot identify means something entirely different. It means that the ATF simply could not conclusively link that specific bullet fragment to Robinson's alleged weapon, which is a World War II era.30 06 Mauser rifle. So to understand why, you've got to understand how ballistics are work. When you match a bullet to a gun, it relies on analyzing the microscopic scratches the gun barrel engraves onto the middle of the bullet as it fires. Right? But if a bullet is Badly fragmented or heavily deformed or utterly destroyed upon impact, There simply might not be enough intact surface area left for a forensic expert to make a 100% conclusive match. It means that the evidence is too damaged to say yes. But it crucially also means that the answer is not no. Unfortunately, now the scientific nuance does not go viral. So the moment that the defense filed a motion requesting to delay the trial based on this ATF report, the media cycle took over. And mainstream outlets ran with the definitive headlines stating that the bullet doesn't match. And from there, social media has very clearly poured gasoline on the fire. And high profile political commentators and politicians amplified these headlines on X. And then instantly, an inconclusive lab result was weaponized to suggest that Tyler Robinson was being framed or that there was a massive conspiracy involving a second shooter. But the investigation has not stopped, and the prosecution is certainly not dropping this issue. Because the ATF's initial test was inconclusive, the FBI has now stepping in. And according to current court documents, the FBI is in the process of running two brand new tests. So one is a second ballistics analysis. So they want to see if the FBI lab can find a conclusive microscopic link that the ATF analysts might have missed. And then second, it's called a metallurgic test and a metallurgical test. I'm butchering this. A metallurgical analysis. Bear with me. And what this means is that they're testing the specific chemical composition of the lead inside the bullet fragment to see if it perfectly matches the unfired ammunition associated with Robinson. And we can't lose sight of the wider scope of this case, and that's that the prosecution is not hanging their entire argument on a single damaged bullet fragment. There has been a mountain of evidence brought forward against Robinson. There've been digital confessions, alleged discord messages that have been sent by Robinson hours after the shooting where he stated it was me at UVU yesterday, as well as direct text messages to his roommate, slash lover where he admitted the crime. They've got hard physical evidence. The FBI reportedly found Robinson's DNA right on the trigger of the rifle recovered near the scene. And to capture all of this off, there is the undeniable fact that Tyler Robinson voluntarily surrendered himself to the police the day after the shooting. So the bottom line is clear. The only concrete fact right now regarding the ballistics is that the first lab could not definitively link a highly damaged bullet to that gun. And until the FBI concludes its next round of testing, all the evidence is considered and accounted for. It's just speculation. And this is why we gotta be so incredibly careful, guys. Because when explosive claims hit the Internet, our first instinct should not be to blindly share them. It should be to investigate the facts or just pause until all the information has officially come out. Because these kinds of rumors don't exist in a vacuum, right? They're actively shaping the court of public opinion, which you've seen. You've seen when those kids feel absolutely free to attack Erica. And let's be honest with ourselves, juries are pulled directly from that public. And there's absolutely no universe where a jury pool is not going to be impacted by what goes on in the social zeitgeist. Right? When high profile voices amplify distorted headlines, it's going to bleed into the real world. And it absolutely risks tainting the very system designed to uncover the truth. So if Tyler Robinson is guilty of this crime, and Salish's out of context clickbait headlines are going to contribute to muddying the waters enough to free him, that would be a true tragedy. It would be literally a catastrophic failure of justice driven entirely by an addiction to cliques and sensationalism. And as for the rumor about Andrew Colvett and Eric Kirk having had an affair, this was started by Candace Owens. And she alleged that on September 10, which is the day that Charlie was killed, she claimed that Andrew Colvett flew alone from Santa Barbara, made a stop in Scottsdale, Arizona, and then landed in Provo, Utah, where he and Erica shared a romantic tarmac hug. And Owens treated that as suspicious because, she argued, Erica should have been racing to the hospital rather than waiting for Colvette. Candace also said that Erica couldn't clearly answer whether Colvette's wife was present on the plane that Colvette flew over on, and she used that ambiguity to suggest foul play. Now, personally, I don't see how this would be evidence of them having an affair. But more importantly, it never actually happened. Anyway, evidence has emerged that systematically dismantled these allegations. So on March 29, 2026, an independent journalist named Jessica Reed Krause published the actual public FAA flight data for September 10th. And those receipts prove that Andrew Colvett did not travel alone, nor did he stop in Scottsdale. He flew on a direct flight from Santa Barbara to Provo accompanied by his wife. Then, upon landing, Colvette and his wife traveled directly from the airport to the hospital to join a large group of people, which included Erica, who were gathering in the wake of that tragedy. And last, when it comes to Sheriff Brooksby's, resignation. Brooksby is the sheriff who took the phone call that ultimately facilitated the peaceful surrender and arrest of Tyler Robinson in September of 2025. Now, the county maintains that Brooksby's departure was strictly related to internal operational complaints, and they said there is nothing linking his stepping down to Charlie Kirk's murder or the investigation of his murder whatsoever. Oh, man. I understand people not trusting anything these days. Right. I understand wanting to get justice for Charlie, but unjustifiably torturing his widow with zero evidence and claims that have been effectively debunked is not the way, guys. And sadly, this does not just hurt Erica. It risks destroying his legacy, which is tpusa, because it tarnishes the people who are running it right now. And by far, I think the absolute worst thing that will come out of this is the devastation that this is gonna cause to his kids. Okay? Their father was brutally executed in front of the world. Now their mother is being persecuted for his murder. And what's even crazier to me. What's even crazier to me is that I've met James Lee and I've met Candace Owens. I write for the Daily Mail. These people, both Candace and James, were lovely people when I met them. Listen, I passionately disagree with what they're doing, and I am making a desperate plea for them to stop or at least pause and present all of the facts. But having said that, I think they actually believe what they're posting. I really do. I think they actually believe it. I think they're trying to be well intentioned. But the bottom line is that Charlie and his loved ones and his legacy deserve more from us than unsubstantiated rumors? Guys, they are already living through an unimaginable nightmare. Can we please, please wait for the actual evidence before you leak unverified misinformation that crucifies his family and potentially freeze the man that is most likely his killer? Please, for the love of God, can you do that?

Host/Producer
I'm sure you've seen the Snow Kings protest all across the nation and the whole world. We actually have a video of someone who's explaining how it feels from these marginalized groups perspective. So guys, can we throw in Sat1
Protester/Commentator
or protests all across the country? I drove past one in LA. It was all no kings, no fascists, no dictatorships. At this point, it just feels like theatrics. And that's where you're losing people like me. I'm lgbt, my family are immigrants, I'm Iranian and I'm seeing signs saying no war with Iran, but where are the Iranians? The people actually living this reality aren't even with you. You're calling this fascism, you're calling the Trump government a dictatorship. But you don't seem to understand that you don't get to do what you're doing under real fascism or real dictatorship. In Iran, when you protest like this, you get arrested, you get beaten, you get killed. So if you actually want to be effective, maybe start with grounding yourselves in reality and stop making yourselves out to be oppressed when you're clearly not.
Jillian Michaels
You know, the hypocrisy and the insanity of this has been called out by influencers across the Internet. So forgive me, this is going to be redundant, but it bears repeating, okay? You don't get to march against tyranny at home while excusing it. Everywhere else in the world. You chant about freedom and democracy. But you say silent when the Iranian regime beats, imprisons, and kills people for staging the exact kind of protests that you are staging right now. You call yourselves anti fascist, but you look the other way at Cuba, where free elections have not existed in seven decades. You guys are screaming no kings. But then you defend Nicolas Maduro as a legitimate sovereign leader despite the fact that that he is a vicious, sick dictator who jailed his opponents and gutted an entire country. You fight for women's rights, but you ignore that the Iranian women have been r ped and beaten and tortured for taking off a headscarf. Let's see, what else you're outraged about. The bloodshed in Gaza. I mean, as you should be. That is awful. But you have nothing to say about Hamas kids alive on October 7, or the fact that they haven't held an election since 2006? Nothing. Crickets, nothing. And then there are the gays chanting gays for Palestine. Hey, team, apparently nobody told you that in Gaza being gay is punishable by death. It's actually written in the hadith. And then, of course, there's the money. Because the no Kings movement has financial ties to figures like Neville Roy Singham who have documented connections to the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese Communist Party, A government that has, I don't know, forcibly sterilized its Uyghur minority community or harvested the organs of political prisoners for profit. So while you're out there chanting about oppression, you realize you're standing on a platform that's being funded by it, right? This is just. I'm sorry, but white liberals are the absolute decay of society. Thoughts on this team? That was a bit of a diatribe. What do you guys think?
Host/Producer
I heard a great saying about this. It's called colonizing the conversation. And we actually have a montage we put together of people from Iran, people from Venezuela actually talking to these protesters.
Cuban American Protester
I got a message to all you code pink liberal. You lefties in Cuba thinking y' all doing something.
North Carolina Guy
Okay?
Cuban American Protester
This is not your fight. Stand the down, because this is happening. This is happening, right? You people, a bunch of hypocrites, okay? It's embarrassing, all right? This is coming from a Cuban American. Okay?
Venezuelan Immigrant
I'm a journalist. I'm in contact with Iranian youth who are asking to be bombed, and you are standing here supporting a terrorist regime. What are you doing? Supporting a terrorist regime? Convince me. Of what? Of women not having no rights. I'm Iranian. I've been imprisoned by that regime. This has got nothing to do with Palestine. This is about a terrorist regime in my country. I can't even go to I see my father's grave officer.
Critic/Commentator
Oh, look, look, look. The same guy who wants to defund the police is calling for the officers. Ah, look at you, loser. You carrying a Venezuelan flag.
Jillian Michaels
You don't even.
Critic/Commentator
You're not even from there, you idiot. Speak to real Venezuelan so you can see how they feeling, dumbass. I wish you touch me. I wish you would touch me.
Interviewer
I heard you're from Venezuela.
Venezuelan Immigrant
Yes, I'm come from Venezuela.
Interviewer
And you don't agree with any of these people here, right?
Venezuelan Immigrant
No, I'm not agreeing and agree with Trump because Trump helped my country obtain the Libertad.
Interviewer
Can I ask you, There's a bunch of Americans here who have never, never
Venezuelan Immigrant
lived in a communist and socialist country with a socialist government.
Interviewer
So Americans are protesting here against the arrest of Maduro. They, they've never been to Venezuela before in their life. And you have, but they, they stand against the Venezuelan people. How do you feel about that?
Venezuelan Immigrant
I feel happy. We. Happy we.
Jillian Michaels
We're in or in Margarita island or in the Llanos. How do the people in the Yanos feel about.
Interviewer
Have you been to Venezuela? Have you been to Venezuela?
Venezuelan Immigrant
Venezuela with a communist and social.
Jillian Michaels
Wow. You guys okay? You know what comes to mind as I'm sitting there watching this? You want to literally cry for these people because you hear the pain that they carry and you feel the gravity of everything they have been put through in these parts of the world under these evil regimes. But, but hear me out. As I was listening to this and I wanted to lay into those people that were the white liberals that were telling the Venezuelans and the Cubans and the Iranians how they should feel and how they should behave, I realized that the emotion that I was feeling is the typical. Just let me explain. It is the typical liberal experience. So then you want to be the hero and help. So by the way, the part of me that is then attacking that white liberal is still a white savior thing. And what I mean by that is I think this initially comes from a good place of wanting to help, of thinking you're doing the right thing. But when somebody tells you this is how I need your support, that's when you have to make a choice of how to behave. And if it goes against your narrative and if it shatters your self image and if it crushes your ego and you found out that you've been doing things wrong when you thought you were doing them right and you continue to do so, then you're an period, end of story. Final thoughts on this one, team, I
Host/Producer
think you're 100% right.
Greg
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Host/Producer
Yeah. If you're gonna go out there and protest, it's important not to minimize the voice of the actual victims to support your narrative.
Jillian Michaels
God, that is so deeply moving. Thank you for putting that one together, guys. That was actually very powerful. You know, you see these things stand alone and they're enraging, but just to see, like, how vast, how broad, how many people from all over the world are being put through, this really brings it home.
Greg
Here we go. Jillian, this is Gavin Newsom's wife, who I think really needs to stop doing interviews. She was hanging out with Jen Psaki, and she was praising herself for showing her children red states. She said this was an education on racism, pain, suffering, and bullying. Team Sat seven, we took your four
Gavin Newsom's Wife
kids on this trip. You're here in Alabama now.
Jillian Michaels
Why was it important to you to
Gavin Newsom's Wife
take them on this trip, Trip to red states and learn about the history in our country? That's a great question. Well, I don't think, or I know for a fact that we don't get all of this history in our schools. And it's part of, you know, enlivening them, building their curiosity, expanding their hearts, their empathy so that they themselves can be the change they wish to see in the world and recognize that. That, you know, we have work to do and that we have healing to do and so that they can be, you know, use their voices to stand up and speak out when they see pain and suffering and bullying and racism and misogyny around them. And you want them to see it so that they know I do. I'm a truth seeker. They need to know the truth.
Jillian Michaels
That's a real interview. I mean, obviously, that's Jen Psaki and that's Newsom's wife, but she actually did just say that she went to red states so that she could show her children racists and misogynists. I'm okay. I actually am still surprised. I know this sounds crazy because everyone knows how passionately I dislike Gavin Newsom and how I think that he has run the state of California into the ground. But to see the whitest woman on the planet with the whitest husband on the planet who literally, if we're gonna play this whole game of white privilege, exemplifies the very definition of what that means, being a little trust fund baby who was under the wing of the Gettys and was literally in A grooming program by Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum. She's gonna talk to us about. Actually, not me. I don't come from the South. Boy, I hope the people of Alabama and Georgia and South Carolina, I hope Louisiana. I hope they are good and pissed. I actually think this is great. Let her get out there and make these car crashes for him in 2028. Because I think just that alone will cost him the entire South. I really do. I just think that is beyond condescending and insulting and ignorant and obnoxious. And I would expect nothing less from Gavin Newsom's other half. What do you team thoughts? Am I alone here?
Greg
You know, she is a truth seeker, Jillian, but I think we throw this one to Greg. Greg, you're a North Carolina guy, aren't you?
North Carolina Guy
Yeah. As the resident Carolinian here, I myself just want to say that I like when they themselves think that, you know, the entire south is populated with nothing but toothless rednecks. When in fact, if you look at a county by county electoral map, you can see that there are no blue states. There's only blue metros. So that's really where I'm going to leave that. I'm just going to say scoreboard.
Jillian Michaels
Well, you know what she did right there that you just pointed out that is so genius. I don't know how I missed it. I guess because she said Alabama. So I sort of zeroed in on. On Alabama and the Southern states. But red states, she said very clearly. And you just pointed that out. So basically, she called any red voter a racist and a misogynist, but she took them on a racism and a misogyny tour to, quote, enliven them and boost their empathy. But I don't know. I can't stand her. I can't stand her. I can't stand him. And Greg, you very, very eloquently pointed that out. And I hope an intelligent, a poser in 2028 digs in on that big time.

You know, did you guys see this one coming? I absolutely did. I absolutely did. I thought the Epstein.
Greg
Yeah.
Jillian Michaels
Was going to be the end.
North Carolina Guy
Yeah. The rumor mill was going for probably the last like two days or so. But I mean, I think, I think Trump was wanting somebody who was going to really. I mean, the. Who was the previous Attorney General. What was his name again?
Greg
Garland.
North Carolina Guy
Garland. Merrick. Garland just, I mean, went after all the political opponents of the left and I think Trump was trying to return the favor. And has Pam, Bonnie, done that? Question mark?
Greg
It looks like Todd Blanche is going to be a temporary appointment. According to cnn, this is a for now appointment for Todd Blanche. Yeah.
Jillian Michaels
I'm hearing Lee Zeldin. I hate to say this if in fact that is why Trump has let Pam Bondi go because she hasn't persecuted political opponents. I'm very against that. I think wrong, look, bad idea. Country is already divided and I don't love the whole tit for tat thing. I think it's important if we're gonna try to bring the nation together, we need leaders that do have the ability to take the higher ground. Despite the fact that I have just torn into Newsom yet again. Although I think it is a public service. I like Lee Zeldin a lot. I've met him a few times, actually, and I happen to if it is going to be Lee Zeldin, he gave me a very candid interview because he's been running the epa, gave me a lot of his time in a really candid interview on trying to clean up the epa. I then met with him in Pacific Palisades because he was tasked by Trump to try and accelerate the rebuilding of Southern California after Altadena and the Palisades fires. I like them. I like him a lot. If they got rid of Pam Bondi because of Epstein, she bungled and botched the shit out of that, guys. She did. I thought she did. And I thought when all of that was going on that her days were numbered. And I'll give you an example. Do you guys remember the leaked footage of her at lunch talking about watching these Epstein tapes. Do you guys remember that?
Protester/Commentator
No.
Jillian Michaels
Tell us if not. Yeah, she. Fletch, drop that in here. It's out there. Someone caught her at a lunch talking about how gross the Epstein tapes were. And I feel like she had just come out and said there were no tapes or something. And then she's caught on camera saying there are thousands of hours of tapes and they're gross. And then she calls, like, an impromptu press hearing thing, press conference at somewhere weird. I don't remember. I feel like it might have been like her house, her driveway or something. And I remember thinking, this is. This is unacceptable. Like, you cannot get caught with your pants off like that. It's embarrassing to the administration. You're giving conflicting information. The whole binder thing on Epstein that she'd given to, you know, the Jack Posobiecs and the Benny Johnson, she made them look like idiots. Like, I. I just. I thought Bondi was done there. So if it's about that, I saw it coming, I support it. If it's Lee Zeldin, I happen to like him. I think he has shown himself to be exceptionally competent and actually a principled person. In my experience with him, if it is about not persecuting your political enemies, you know, this is where I would say to the President, like, dude, take a pass on it. It's not worth your time. We've got much bigger fish to fry. You don't need the heat. You don't. Don't waste the political capital on it. So I hope it doesn't come out that that's the case. Gosh, geez. I've been doing a little spring reset with my closet lately, focusing more on quality over quantity. I've been building a wardrobe of pieces that are well made, versatile, and easy to reach for every day. Which is why I keep coming back to quints. Their fabrics are elevated, the fits are thoughtful, and the pricing actually makes sense. And Quince makes beautiful everyday pieces using premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and super soft denim, with styles starting around 50 bucks. And their spring pieces are lightweight, breathable, effortless. The kind of things you can throw on and instantly look put together. And that same focus on materials carries over into their accessories. They've got leather bags which are made from 100% hand woven Italian leather and honestly look way more expensive than they actually are. And this is because Quint works directly with ethical factories to cut out the middleman. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup. So refresh your spring wardrobe with quince.

Quince.com Jillian all right, I know we have one more and I know it involves Ilhan Omar Porter. You've been chomping at the bit to get to get me to comment on, I guess, her latest tweet. I'll be honest, I've been, you know, I've had a lot going on this week, so I haven't dug in more to her recent musings. I'll say the following. I just don't know what you're going to show me that's going to cause me to say something different than I've already said. I think that she is a liar. I think that she is a fraudster. I think that she is anti America. What, what possibly could you show me right now that would push the up button from where we've been with her?
Greg
Greg Graphic 8 Jillian, you can give this a read. She's calling us stupid again. Not just us, the president, which we've come to, we've grown accustomed to. But give this a read. Go ahead.
Jillian Michaels
The most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are. But I guess it's expected from a man who regularly and publicly fantasized about sleeping with his own daughter. And, and clearly implicated, and is clearly implicated in the ex.
Greg
Epstein files.
Jillian Michaels
Epstein files. Okay. Can I ask you guys just in case I missed something? So really I'm going to, I'm actually, because the world is so crazy, I'm going to ask you, did Trump have some sort of public musing about sleeping with his daughter?
Greg
Not that I remember.
North Carolina Guy
I don't, I don't know about that. But Ilhan Omar 100% married her brother to get into this country.
Jillian Michaels
Oh my God. I just, I can't actually believe that we have a congresswoman and the president of the United States that are trading blows about incest. I cannot believe that this is where we are as a society right now. I cannot believe that earlier in the week I had to explain to my children what a bimbo was. I'm actually not kidding because they saw that circling back to Brian Gnome was on like bimbos.com. my daughter is like, mom, what's a bimbo? Now? I did not make her aware of this. Unfortunately. They have phones and, and Their phones circulate these news stories. And she's like, is that, like, a dumb person? And how do you tell your daughter, well, honey, it's a really politically incorrect way of saying somebody is promiscuous and unintelligent. Why am I having these conversations with my children? And why am I now going to have to have a conversation with them about. Because, again, I won't. I won't volunteer the information, but they will come across it at school or online where the President of the United States is being attacked for sexualizing his own daughter. And I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to lean on you guys here, scour the Web. If the president did such a thing, that is gross. Shame on him. I've. I've yet to see it, but the fact that now there's concrete evidence that this woman married her brother to get into the country is absolutely repulsive if, in fact, it is true. I've, I've. You know, Dave Rubin always says this, and I always kind of, like, take a backseat because I'm thinking, like, it could be a rumor. We don't know. I haven't seen proof. I don't know. Then J.D. vance just came out on Betty Johnson's show and famously said, yeah, she married her brother. And I'm like, okay, is there anything conclusive here? Because I do feel like we should be responsible and say that it's not yet conclusive. Right. That it's not yet proven. What is the prevailing theory on Ilhan Omar marrying her brother?
Greg
I'll give you the voice of reason here. So this has been a story for a very long time, and Trump has been commenting on this for years, as have many people in his circle. But the facts are as follows. Ilhan Omar was legally married to a man in 2009. Pretty much everybody who's commented on the story believes this was her brother and believes the marriage was for immigration purposes. However, there is no concrete evidence proving that claim. And of course, Ilhan Omar has repeatedly denied the allegation, although her word is worth not a whole lot.
Jillian Michaels
Well, let's. Let's be fair then. And do you know what we would like to see other people do and say? There's nothing concrete here. We still don't know, but the behavior is distressing across the board. And I think that's the takeaway for me is just like, can we really, like, good Lord, guys, come on. Like, let's take the high ground, for the love of God. And if, in fact, this woman has committed some sort of fraud, whether it's the winery or her husband's investment firm that has no clients, like, okay, so investigate it if there's something there prosecuted. And let's. Let's be done with. Can we.
Greg
Your point, Jillian? To your point, Jillian, whether these claims are verified or not, I do think it's a major problem that we have elected adults in this country hurling insults on the Internet about incest at one another for the entire world to see. So true or not, this is definitely a problem.
Jillian Michaels
Yeah, definitely a problem. Well, this was a fun rundown. Thank you, team.

Podcast Summary: Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels – Episode: NEWSOM’S WIFE JUST TORPEDOED HIS 2028 DREAMS + Bryan Noem, Pam Bondi, Ilhan Omar, and the No Kings Crazies CRASHOUT (April 3, 2026)
This episode of "Keeping It Real" hosted by Jillian Michaels delivers a spirited and often candid rundown of the week’s most viral and controversial news stories. The team explores scandals involving public figures such as Brian Noem, Kristi Noem, Charlie Kirk, Pam Bondi, Ilhan Omar, and Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife. True to its mission, the podcast pulls no punches as it navigates political hypocrisy, misinformation, sensational headlines, and the dangers of public narrative manipulation. The episode is peppered with humor, frustration, and calls for more principled leadership.
Jillian Michaels (on Brian Noem):
“Nobody’s perfect. But the reality is it's not normal. And I think that's okay. What do you guys think? I'm having a hard time with this.” [04:13]
Jillian Michaels (on the Kirk conspiracy):
“Unfortunately, scientific nuance does not go viral ... Social media has poured gasoline on the fire ... An inconclusive lab result was weaponized to suggest there was a conspiracy involving a second shooter.” [11:37]
Iranian protester:
“You’re calling this fascism ... but you don’t seem to understand ... In Iran, when you protest like this, you get arrested, beaten, killed.” [24:22]
Jillian Michaels:
“White liberals are the absolute decay of society.” [25:07]
North Carolina Guy:
“There are no blue states, only blue metros ... scoreboard.” [35:30]
Jillian Michaels (on Newsom’s wife):
“She called any red voter a racist and misogynist, but she took them on a racism and a misogyny tour to, quote, enliven them and boost their empathy.” [36:00]
Jillian Michaels (on Ilhan Omar/Trump feud):
“I just cannot believe that earlier in the week, I had to explain to my children what a bimbo was ... Why am I now going to have to have a conversation with them about the President of the United States being attacked for sexualizing his own daughter?” [44:51]
The episode is a whirlwind of political gossip, social commentary, and journalistic skepticism, with Jillian Michaels maintaining her signature blend of irreverence, empathy, and exasperation. The team balances condemnation and grudging sympathy for public figures caught in scandal, repeatedly emphasizing the danger of misinformation and the responsibility to “take the high ground.” Humor and sarcasm contrast with occasional moments of earnestness, particularly regarding the effects of public narratives on families and society.
Overall, this rundown is a must-listen for those seeking a candid, occasionally biting take on the week’s most controversial headlines—minus the spin.
