Not My First Rodeo Lessons from the Heartland

In the book, Noem says she shot and killed her 14-month-old puppy named Cricket for bad behavior.

Conservative media personality Laura Loomer saying, she can't be VP now. You can't shoot your dog and then be VP.

An unapologetic puppy killer.

That's why the whole you don't know what it's like to live on a farm thing is just that has nothing to do with anything. You bragged about it.

Kristi Noem thinks her medal is proven by murdering a puppy and then was so inspired by the results that she went and got a goat she hated and shot the goat but missed the first time and had to walk back to her car to get another shotgun shell to shoot the goat again.

You have a new book out. It's called Not My First Rodeo. Available wherever you get your books today.

Let's get to your book. It's called Not My First Rodeo Out Today, wherever you get your books.

Governor Kristi Noem, author of the new book. Go pick it up, folks. Not my first rodeo available today.

I met with Kim Jong-un and I stared him down.

Cricket was a wire hair pointer about 14 months old and she had come to us from a home that had struggled with her aggressive personality.

I hated that dog.

She was less than worthless to us as a hunting dog. At that moment, I realized I had to put her down.

I got out my gun, grabbed cricket's leash and I let her out into the pasture and down into the gravel pit. It was not a good idea.

Now they've had to pull all that from the audio book. It'll be on the bookshelves in Barnes and Noble and elsewhere today because they couldn't get it out of the written book, but it's out of the electronic.

I don't have conversations about my conversations with world leaders. I've been working on policy for 30 years, Jesse, and that's what most people don't remember about me is I'm old. I'm a mom, I'm a grandma. I've got three little grandbabies.

It's kind of a big deal. Did you correct it then? Were you embarrassed? Did you go back through tooth and comb over your entire ghost written memoir to make sure there were no other errors? Because you also appear to have lied about a meeting with Emmanuel Macron. How many lies are there in this book? And why should we believe you on anything, especially now your revisionist history about why you really shot your puppy, which she's now claiming the dog was basically a serial killer and not her.

And I'm actually writing it unlike people that have all the ghost writers do it. I'm actually writing, writing my entire book, but the idea that the way to respond to the pressure on this is to almost be indignant and act like she's protecting sources and methods.

This is not some theory. We all know what the game plan was here. She's writing this memoir, why not say, I mean, did she cry? Did she cry after she had to shoot her own dog? Obviously not, because she hated the dog. So she shot the dog in anger. Is that the kind of decision that you make when you're in a bad mood? I'm going to go kill the family dog and live with her for 14 months.

She's got a great book out now called Not My First Rodeo, which is a great read.

She was one of the few. She was bold. And it was because of these first principles she knew is just as a person who would lead saying trust the people, you know, trust the people and the actual people.

Congrats on your new book out today, Not My First Rodeo, Lessons from the Heartland.

I think people who know you and like you are going to love the book, and I think people who are just wanting to know you better really will because you're very open in the book about your hardships, your challenges, who you were as a person and a young woman before you ever thought about running for office.

You were doing things very differently during COVID.

And you write in the book that this was a this was a matter of what you call first principles.

And I think this book is going to become very relevant over the next year as they lead up to twenty twenty four.

I think a lot of people would look at me writing a book and think it's a book about politics and it's really not. It's about my life lived so far.

Most people heard my name for the first time during COVID and didn't know anything about me, maybe made some assumptions based on the decisions that I was making.

And I think it's important that for people to understand the decisions that I make, they have to know a little bit about me. The way I grew up, I think, was pretty special.

There's a lot of life lessons I learned from my family, my faith and in the ranch.

And I think it is some of those lessons that that helped South Dakota and myself do what we've done the last couple of years that I believe really is an inspiration to the rest of the country here in South Dakota.
