so you did not meet with Kim jung-un you're saying no I've met with many many
world leaders Speaker 1: I hope everybody had a good weekend. South Dakota Republican Governor
Kristi Noem did not have a good weekend. If you thought her biggest problem this week was going
to be bragging in her new book that she shot a dog dead on her farm when it was 14 months old,
that is no longer the biggest problem. Kristi Noem has now been caught making up whole cloth
that she went to North Korea, and that she met North Korean dictator Kim Jong un. Neither is
true. She appeared yesterday on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. If you have an aversion to
cringe, you may want to turn this video off. She. Kristi Noem is asked directly, did you meet Kim
Jong un? Your book very clearly says it. It's not alluding. It's saying, when I met Kim Jong un. And
the answer is obviously no. And Kristi Noem spits out an impulsive word salad and sort of refers
to the. I had the book changed. Well, didn't you write the book? Did you forget you didn't really
meet Kim Jong un? This is the worst of the worst of the worst of these people. And this
is what MAGA is. I met Kim Jong un. Did you? We're looking into how that got in the book. And I asked
my publisher right away to remove that. Right. But did you write it because you knew you didn't meet
Kim Jong UN? Look at this. Maybe get the kids out of the room for this one. It's too cringey.
Speaker 2: So you write about lessons learned in leadership and you bring up some specific
incidents I want to ask you about. You talk about meeting some world leaders and one specific one
quote. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong un. I'm sure he underestimated
me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants. I've been a children's pastor
after all. Did you meet Kim Jong un? Well, you know, as soon as this was brought to my attention,
I certainly made some changes and looked at this, this passage. And I've met with many, many world
leaders. I've traveled around the world. Speaker 1: You'll notice there's
not a yes or no in here. Speaker 2: As soon as it was
brought to my attention, we went forward and have made some edits. So I'm glad that this book is
being released in a couple of days and that those edits will be in place and that people will we'll
have the updated version. So you did not meet with Kim Jong un? That's what you're saying? No. I met
with many, many world leaders. Many. Speaker 1: And you imagine. Hey,
would would any of my viewers accept this sort of equivocation from me? Imagine if in my book
I said, hey, I met Gandhi, and then in an interview I'm confronted and said, David,
you wrote in your book that you met Gandhi. You didn't meet Gandhi, did you? Listen,
as soon as it was brought to my attention that my book says I met Gandhi, the book I wrote,
by the way, as soon as that was brought to my attention, I didn't hesitate at all. I
showed strength, I contacted my publisher right away, and I said, we've got to change this. Oh,
so you didn't meet Gandhi, right? I've met all sorts of different people. I interviewed all
sorts of members of Congress. None of you would accept that. You would all rightfully cancel your
memberships immediately. How is this acceptable? Speaker 2: Leaders. I've traveled around the
world. I think I've talked extensively in this book about my time serving in Congress,
my time as governor before governor, some of the travels that I've had, I'm not going to talk
about my specific meetings with world leaders. Speaker 1: Except she talked about it in her book
and it was a lie. Now she won't talk about it. Speaker 2: I'm just not going to do that. This
anecdote shouldn't have been in the book. And as soon as it was brought to my attention,
I made sure that that was adjusted. So the book is not released until Tuesday. And so we're doing
all that we can to make sure that those changes are made. And I'm going to continue to focus on
what this book is and the blueprint that it lays out for the American citizen on all of the the
things in the background and stories of my life, but also what I think that needs to be identified
in politics and what's broken. Today. I talk about how broken the money game is, how broken it is.
Speaker 1: David, you say in your book you moderated a presidential debate in
2004. That's not true, is it? This was brought to my attention just before publishing that
my book contains an anecdote that shouldn't have been in there, that I, that I moderate
and I participated in debates, and I have moderated debates. But the anecdote that
I moderated a presidential debate, when I'm working with my publisher to figure
out how did that get in the book? What? Speaker 2: That we've got consultants that
are getting rich off of elected officials, and then how fake some elected politicians
are. Every single person in this country want someone in elected
office. That's that's, a human being. All right. Speaker 1: So long story short, she's the answer
here is. Hey, Margaret. I didn't meet with Kim Jong un. I don't know why I wrote that,
but I wrote it. I wrote the book and it's in the book, and it shouldn't have been in the
book. That's it. It was a lie. It was untrue. I just delivered a finished manuscript for my book,
and I just don't get how this happens if you write it right now, if the argument is. Well,
she. She told some stories to a ghost writer who misinterpreted a story about her meeting
Kim Jong un and then put it in the book, and then she didn't realize it because she didn't read her
own book. But they're not claiming that she used the ghost writer, at least as far as I'm able to
tell who's her publisher, that she signed off on the manuscript, that she read her own script for
the audiobook that she presumably recorded. You would think that there are endless points at which
this obvious lie would have been removed, and she even continues lying. During the interview,
she says during the interview, she's been to North Korea, she hasn't been to North Korea. She
went to the DMZ. This comes up. She's just a. Speaker 2: Liar. She has been extensive and
covered decades. Right. But you never went to North Korea. In this book, I talk about the fact
that, yes, I have you been there? So you went to North Korea, you turn to the DMZ. There are
details. There are details in this book that okay. Speaker 1: So then she slips in. Well,
I went to the DMZ. The DMZ is a buffer zone of sorts between North and South Korea. It is not
honest to say you went to North Korea. If you went to the DMZ accessing it from South Korea,
it's just not honest. And I know that there are her defenders who will say, well, she sort of did
go to North Korea. She went to the buffer zone between North and South Korea. Once you step out
of South Korea, you're kind of in North Korea. No, it's a unique situation. It's the demilitarized
zone is it is a deliberate buffer zone where you are neither in South nor North Korea. She's just
a complete and total liar of every of. There is no way to make this anything other than she
is a disgusting liar. And by the way, in the book she forget about telling the story that
she killed her own dog. She suggests Joe Biden's dog should be killed. Let's talk about that now.
