00:00Now to the latest on the Christie and Brian Gnome saga, the scandal you didn't know you needed.
00:06Brian spoke for the first time since it was revealed he lives a double life in the world
00:09of bimbofication, a fetish I really don't want to describe again. In a text exchange with a New
00:15York Times reporter who was asking the disgraced husband of the former DHS secretary for an
00:20interview, he replied, quote, I will at some point. Today is not the day. I appreciate your heart,
00:26which is an odd response. Now, yesterday we heard from Christie's camp. Her rep said the family was,
00:33in their own words, devastated and blindsided by the whole thing. Well, White House reporter
00:39Emily Gooden is here in a different story. Republicans who know Christie Gnome suspect
00:44that she and Corey Lindowski may be behind this leak about her husband. The thinking is they're
00:51trying to do some damage and image repair to Christina herself to make her a more sympathetic
00:57character and more like a wronged wife, like a Hillary Clinton. She's long said to harbor
01:03presidential ambitions. And the thinking is this is to try to distract from all the controversies they
01:09had at the Department of Homeland Security and the reports that the two of them have been having a
01:14years long affair. He has been backing her through all of this. He has been kind of playing a puppet
01:20master role behind the scene in terms of helping spread the word about her reaction and how she's
01:27doing. And his hand is being seen as like a Machiavellian presence in all of this. My jaw is on
01:35the floor with that revelation. Now, I also asked Emily about reports that we're hearing from back in
01:40South Dakota from some of Brian Gnome's friends. Brian Gnome's neighbors have been remarkably
01:45sympathetic to him. They see him as a nice guy, a good neighbor. A lot of them don't believe it.
01:52They're questioning if it's AI or somehow faked photos. So the neighbors are kind of standing by
01:59him. You know, he is a longtime South Dakota resident. He never left the state. He never moved
02:06to Washington, D.C. to be with Christie. So they see him as the hometown boy kind of being bashed
02:12in the
02:12national media.
