you know this is really a book that
talks about how we're not going back
it's we're no going back to the days
before Donald Trump the Donald Trump
broke politics and I think that's a good
thing we're not going back to the days
of Mitt Romney or the bushes that now
there's a new uh way to do and talk to
the American people and they appreciate
it it's an honest genuine conversation
about what these citizens can do to take
back their government and to have more
input so this book is really a how-to
guide for for how to make your voice
heard and have for people in this
country what they can do to really make
sure that they are getting genuine
elected officials that really want to
give them more freedom and liberty so
you write about Lessons Learned in
leadership um 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 um I
certainly uh made some changes and
looked at uh this this passage and I've
met with many many world leaders uh I've
traveled around the world uh as soon as
it was brought to my attention uh 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 will have the updated
version so you did not meet with Kim
Jong-un that's what you're
saying you I've met with many many world
leaders many world leaders I've traveled
around the world I 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 um I'm not going to talk about
my specific meetings with world leaders
I'm just not going to do that uh this
anecdote shouldn't have been in the book
and as soon as it was brought to my
attention uh 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 and the background and and
stories of my life but also uh 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 that 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 wants someone in
elected office that's that's um a human
being that doesn't say they're perfect
uh I take respons ility for that being
in the book and as soon as it was
brought to my attention uh I asked for
it to be changed so I'm glad that the
release date is in a couple of days and
we're excited to talk to America about
uh my new book no going back so you talk
about your time in the armed services
committee from 2013 to
2015 in that period of time the leader
of South Korea was a female president
I'm wondering who is it that you
confused Kim Jong-un
with well I think you need to remember
Margaret and everybody needs to remember
that I've worked on egg policy and
federal policy for over 30 years uh my
time in serving and making policies in
this country has been extensive and
covered decades but you never went to
specifics in this book I talk about the
fact that yes I have I've been there so
you went to North Korea you to the DMZ
and there are details there are 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 and this anecdote is
something that when it was brought to my
attention uh we made some changes and
when the book's release we'll do all
that we can to see that that that is
reflected okay well I'm asking about
that specifically because you you made
the point to bring him up twice and that
he was a little Tyrant do you have a
question for me Margaret yes I do um
South Korea is a treaty Ally North Korea
is a nuclear armed adversary so that's a
pretty big thing to confuse um I know
you read this book before it was
published Because You released video of
your recording of the audio book you
didn't catch these errors when you were
recording
it oh marget as soon as it was brought
to my attention uh 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 uh to question him
on any of that and you're you're talking
about a book that hasn't been released
yet that's been corrected before it's
been released and you haven't said one
thing about Joe Biden saying that he was
in prison with Nelson Mandela that he
started the Civil Rights Movement that
if I had a interview with Joe Biden I've
asked for multiple times I will
definitely ask ask him about his record
but I'm asking you about your book here
which we have I'm just asking for why
why am I being treated differently than
every other person that you've
interviewed I've looked at your last
several weeks in your interviews you
don't you don't interrupt other people
you let them talk thank you for inviting
me to have this conversation about this
book this book is extremely uh important
to the people of this country it is
important because it's a how-to guide of
what they can do to have input into
their government we need Breakers and
builders in this world uh and I'm taking
responsibility for the change that we've
made the book and I've told you that and
I'm no it's not I what I've said is that
I have you're not taking responsibility
for I've decided this
and I am saying that this book is uh
very very good and I've met with many
world leaders and that um I there are
world leaders that I've met with that
are in this book there are many that
I've met with that are not in this book
uh and is an anecdote uh that that I
asked to have re 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 okay I'm just not
going to have that conversation because
I think it's important okay you do
mention uh Benjamin Netanyahu as well
though in it among world leaders um in
an interview with Time Magazine this
week former president Donald Trump was
asked about Israel and Hamas and he said
quote BB Netanyahu rightfully has been
criticized for what took took place on
October 7th do you agree with Mr
Trump I think that BB Netanyahu is a
strong leader who's leading Israel
through extremely difficult times uh
October 7th was horrific and the crimes
that Hamas committed against the Jewish
people were absolutely awful and that
the United States of America should
stand strong with our allies in the
Middle East uh I'm proud to to know the
Jewish people and their leaders over
many many years and I think that what
Hamas is doing and the atrocities that
were committed are horrific and that we
should never stand for the anti-Semitism
that we see going on in the United
States of America and what's happens on
our college campuses is absolutely
devastating it should be shut down
immediately I'm disappointed that
President Joe Biden didn't take action
immediately to stop these violent crimes
against the Jewish people that have
happened on our own college campuses
right here in the United States of
America uh should have never been
allowed and it should be stopped today
okay so you don't agree with Mr Trump's
statement there um I want to ask you uh
again about the book uh I I I know you
know this question is coming um because
there's been such an enormous backlash
about your Revelation that you shot and
killed a wire hair pointer named Cricket
who was 14 months old you say in the
book she uh came from another family
that struggled with her aggression you'd
been training her to hunt she got too
excited ruined the hunt and then
attacked and killed some chickens I
wonder if you have regrets about sharing
this
story you know Margaret this book is
filled with vulnerable painful moments
in my life uh filled with times where
I've made very difficult decisions the
reason that the story is in the book
because people need to understand who I
am and some of those difficult decisions
this was a dangerous animal that was
killing livestock and attacking people
and and I had little children at the
time our operation had many kids running
around and people in interaction with
the public uh and I made a difficult
choice I think you're a mother too and
you have little kiddos uh would you make
a choice between your children or a
dangerous animal and I think I would ask
everybody in the country to put
themselves in that situation because
that's what I faced and I talk about it
because what I'm tired of in this
country is politicians who pretend to be
something that they're not uh that they
aren't willing to have the hard
conversations and look at the past and
the tough decisions that they've made
I'm what I talk about in the book
extensively when people are able to get
it on Tuesday is to see the whole story
and the truth not the spin that the
media has put on this story uh the media
has put some or removed removed most of
the facts and and what the reason this
is in there is because I want people to
know that I don't ask anybody else to
take on my responsibilities I understood
my responsibility and as a mom I made a
choice between protecting my children
and protecting them from a dangerous
animal that was killing livestock and
attacking people well decision described
I described I think accurately how you
wrote it up in the book
um You didn't say the dog attacked
people you said it had tried to bite you
um and I just wonder why you concluded
that a young dog was
untrainable and not just take it to a
shelter this dog was a well this dog was
a working dog and it had come from a
family that already had issues with this
dog and I had put months and months of
training into this dog this dog had gone
to other trainers as well uh so so all
of that is the facts of the story and
all of that shows that when you put
someone in a position where they have to
make a a decision and they want to
protect their family and protect
children and other people from getting
attacked from an animal that has
attacked others and killed livestock uh
that's the choice I made over 20 years
ago and that I didn't ask somebody else
to take take that responsibility for me
that I had to make that decision myself
because you put it in a part of a
chapter called bad day to be a goat and
then after you shot the dog you quote
realized another unpleasant job needed
to be done walking back up to the yard I
spotted our billy goat you said he
smelled and would chase kids so you took
him to the gravel pit and shot him
twice how how do you justify that how
was the goat a threat and I'm asking you
this because it seems like you're
celebrating the killing of the
animals 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 understand uh that that
these animals were attacking my children
that that we live on a farm in a ranch
and that tough decisions are made many
times and it is it is to protect people
and I'll tell you the the extremism of
other people and how they have uh
attacked me politically I understand it
they're doing the same thing to me that
they do to Donald Trump every day every
day the constant attacks and coming
after me during covid I was attacked
night after night for months after
months for the decisions that made in
fact you and many other journalists
attacked me every single day on TV for
months for the decisions that I made in
South Dakota uh for My People to protect
their freedoms and I think we had a very
I think we had a very fair when you
joined us ma'am at that time and I
thanked you for answering questions on
it um but on the on this point though
because you have been rumored to be a
potential vice presidential candidate as
you know um and former house Speaker n
gingr said killing the dog and then
writing about it ended any possibility
of her being picked as VP you talk
multiple times about it in fact at the
end of the book you say the very first
thing you would do if you got to the
White House that was different from Joe
Biden is you'd make sure Joe Biden's dog
was nowhere on the grounds Commander say
hello to
Cricket are you doing this to try to to
look tough do you still think that you
have a shot at being a
VP well number one Joe Biden's dog has
attacked 24 Secret Service people so how
many people is enough people to be
attacked and dangerously hurt before you
make a decision on a dog and what he's
not living at the White House that's the
question that the President should be
held accountable to you're saying he
should be shot what the President should
be accountable to is what is what is the
number and I would say about Republicans
criticizing me these are the same
Republicans that criticized me during
covid they've criticized me when I've
made other decisions in South Dakota to
protect my state and my state today is
extremely happy and thriving we're doing
well we've got thousands of people
moving to our state because they love
the opportunities that are here and the
businesses that have come and how we've
gotten to be a state that has one of the
lowest unemployment rates on the nation
everybody has an opportunity for higher
wages we've got revenues and reserves we
paid off our debt we've got a AAA credit
rating we've got a fully funded pension
system we were the first state in the
nation to so you're not going to retract
the B and to prevent China Governor I
this book is a powerful book it's an
honest book it's an honest book of
blueprint for America of what citizens
can do here to take their country back
okay and I'm so proud of this book and
and what it will bring to people I hope
that they will buy it they'll find a lot
of truthful stories and we talk a lot
about um what we can use as an example
from Donald Trump on how he has
continued to be a real person been
genuine and been honest to people and
that would politicians when they're part
of it I'm not I'm not retracting
anything I'm not retracting anything all
right no all right Governor absolutely
