CBS News has the transcript:
Nate Burleson: That specific meeting didn’t happen?
Noem: I’m saying that I’m not talking about that meeting. I’m not talking about my meetings with world leaders.
Burleson: But you do talk about meetings with world leaders.
Noem: There are some that are in the book, and then there’s some that’s not in the book.
Burleson: But why are there two specific mentions of meeting Kim Jong-un and talking about him, and a specific memory: “I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants.” Did you tell your ghostwriter to write them?
Noem: I specifically have worked on policy for over 30 years, and over that time I have traveled around the world and I have met with leaders around the world. And that anecdote, I’ve asked them to change the content and it will be removed.
Burleson: It’s a simple question! Did you or did you not meet with Kim Jong-un?
Noem: That’s the answer that I have for you, is that I’m, it will be adjusted. And as soon as I became aware of it, that content was removed.

Beyond parody: On CBS this morning, Kristi Noem still wouldn’t provide a straight answer to the question of whether she ever met Kim Jong Un.
