MARGARET BRENNAN: Did you meet Kim Jong Un?

KRISTI NOEM: As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage

BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?

NOEM: I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics.

BRENNAN: You never went to North Korea

NOEM: Yes I have. I've been there.

BRENNAN ... you have?

NOEM: There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ

Noem tries to portray herself as a victim because Brennan is asking her about egregious lies in her book and also doesn't take responsibility for the errors

"I'm tired of politicians who pretend to be something that they're not" -- Noem defends the passage in her book where she details shooting her dog to death in a gravel pit

Brennan to Noem: "At the very end of the book, you say the very first thing you'd do if you got to the White House is you'd make sure Biden's dog is nowhere on the grounds. 'Commander, say hello to cricket.'"

Noem responds by suggesting Commander should be put down
