South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss the political record of Democratic nominee Vice Preisdent Kamala Harris’ running-mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “ actually doesn’t know how to govern,” says Noem, and America needs to realize how left and how radical Harris and Walz are. Noem says that the state of South Dakota has had “thousands of people from Minnesota move to South Dakota to get away from .” Governor Walz was notably the Governor of Minnesota during the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis and has been criticized for not deploying the Minnesota National Guard sooner. “He does not uphold the law,” Noem adds and Walz had to ask his neighboring states’ governors to send their National Guard to assist in policing the riots, including South Dakota. Noem and Brian also share their thoughts on why the polling numbers for the 2024 Presidential election are so close right now. Listen to the interview here:
