The following is a transcript of an interview with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem that aired on May 5, 2024.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We begin this morning with the Republican governor of the state of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, her upcoming memoir. No Going Back, is out this Tuesday. And she joins us from Watertown, South Dakota. Welcome back to Face the Nation.GOV.
No, I've met with many, many world leaders, many world 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, I'm just not going to do that.
I went to the DMZ. And there are details- there details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ and specifics that I'm willing to share. There's some specifics I'm not willing to share with you. I've traveled the world, and I visited with world leaders. And some of that is referenced in the book.
Well, Margaret, as soon as it was brought to my attention, I took action to make sure that it was reflected. And listen, this is what is so discouraging about politics in the media today, is that we have the White House that just recently came out and confirmed that President Joe Biden has misspoken, has made mistakes, has even outright lied over close to 150 times just this year, and you've done nothing to question him on any of that.
I am saying that this book is very, very good. And I've met with many world leaders, and that either world leaders that I've met with that are in this book, there are many that I met with that are not in this book. And this is an anecdote that- that I asked to have removed, because I think it's appropriate at this point in time, but I'm not going to talk to you about those personal meetings that I've had with world leaders.
Not at all. This has been a story that my political opponents have tried to use against me for years. It's well known in South Dakota, and it has been to other people. And I want the truth to be out there and to understand that- that these animals were attacking my children, that- that we live on a farm and ranch and the tough decisions are made many times. And it is- it is to protect people.
