and i love my job as governor of south dakota. i love my home and my family. i would not leave them to spend time away. unless i was doing something of significance, that's the family i was raised in that we talked every day about the fact that our work should matter and it should have a purpose, and we should be able to explain why we do what we do and that it has something that we can show the next generation that really mattered for their future and for this country. so today i'm hoping all of us will be a beacon of freedom. of light and of hope that when people look at us they don't just see people who are there in a time of crisis or conflict, but we're also people that bring a smile to people's faces and remind them what america is about. you're on the front lines many times, but you're also sometimes the last ones in to help pick up the pieces, and you see people on their very worst days. but that is a presence that you can bring that will bring them comfort and stability in a time when their whole world seems to be shaken. now i grew up as a farmer and

last may, all nine native american tribes in south dakota agreed to banish noem from the tribal land after she made disparaging remarks about native american parents and pushed claims that tribal leaders were profiting off of drug cartels. at least one tribe lifted noem's ban ahead of her confirmation hearings. it's unclear if the other eight tribes plan to do the same. the irony of the secretary of homeland security barred from stepping foot on the american homeland. noem also made headlines late last year when trump was reportedly considering her for vice president. right around the time she was auditioning for the role, she released a memoir, and in it, she does a little oversharing, revealing that she once shot and killed the family dog, cricket, because the dog was untrainable and had an aggressive personality. cricket was a 14 month old puppy, and yes, she voluntarily disclosed this. you shouldn't shoot your dog, but if you do on purpose, you probably shouldn't tell a lot of people about it. noem tried to reframe the narrative, by the way, saying her willingness to kill her own
