And you change your mind. I think a lot of our viewers are wondering your thinking on this and how exactly this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s not true, Tucker, and thank you for inviting me to be on the show tonight,\u201d Noem responded. \u201cI could sign the bill the way that it is today. And then also, but it wouldn\u2019t solve the problem. And that\u2019s the real issue. As I looked at the bill and examined it, and have been discussing with legal scholars for many months on how to protect women\u2019s sports, this bill would only allow the NCAA to bully South Dakota, and it would actually prevent women from being able to participate in collegiate sports. So what I\u2019ve done is I\u2019ve asked the legislature through a style and reform \u2014 is ask them to change the bill \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noem said that that the bill would \u201callow the NCAA to take punitive action against our state\u201d and that \u201clegal scholars that I have been consulting with for many, many months say that I would very likely lose those litigation efforts\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, so you\u2019re saying, so hold on, just to be clear, it\u2019s not the bill \u2026 so, you\u2019re saying the NCAA threatened you and you don\u2019t think you can win that fight?\u201d Carlson fired back. \u201cThey said if you sign this, we won\u2019t allow girls in South Dakota to play and you don\u2019t think you can win in court, even though the publicly overwhelmingly supports you nationally. And so you\u2019re caving to the NCAA? I think that\u2019s what you\u2019re saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, that\u2019s not right at all, Tucker,\u201d Noem fired back. \u201cIn fact, you\u2019re wrong, completely. I\u2019ve been working on this issue for years.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id>\n<p><em>TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS HOST: There\u2019s been a big push nationally by the administration [that] is squarely behind it to allow biological males to compete in girls\u2019 sports. We\u2019ve covered it extensively on the show. It\u2019s very unpopular with the public. It\u2019s particularly unpopular in the State of South Dakota. South Dakota is one of the most Republican states in the country, Republicans essentially control the entire state. So Republicans in the legislature there recently passed a bill to prevent this from happening, to prevent biological men from playing on women\u2019s sports teams. And the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, who you \u2026 have seen, said she was, quote, \u2018excited to sign it.\u2019 Now she has changed her mind. Governor Noem joins us tonight to explain why she has. Governor, thanks so much for coming on. I appreciate it. So here you have this bill, which I think all polling shows is popular in your state, I think would be popular nationally, you said you\u2019re excited to sign it. Big business intercedes, NCAA, Chamber of Commerce, and Amazon and tell you not to sign it. And you change your mind. I think a lot of our viewers are wondering, your thinking on this and how exactly this happened.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KRISTI NOEM, GOVERNOR OF SOUTH DAKOTA: Well, that\u2019s not true Tucker, and thank you for inviting me to be on the show tonight. I could sign the bill the way that it is today. And then also, but it wouldn\u2019t solve the problem. And that\u2019s the real issue. As I looked at the bill and examined it, and have been discussing with legal scholars for many months on how to protect women\u2019s sports, this bill would only allow the NCAA to bully South Dakota, and it would actually prevent women from being able to participate in collegiate sports. So what I\u2019ve done is I\u2019ve asked the legislature through a style and reform\u2013 is ask them to change the bill\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: I\u2019m sorry to interrupt, but just for our viewers, I\u2019m so sorry. Can you back just back up for one sec, for our viewers who haven\u2019t followed this as closely. How would this bill prevent women from playing in South Dakota? If you would\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: Because what it would do is it would put a law on the books that would allow the NCAA to take punitive action against our state. And we\u2019re a small state Tucker, we\u2019ve had to fight hard to get any tournaments to come to South Dakota, when they took punitive action against us, we would have to litigate and legal scholars that I have been consulting with for many, many months say that I would very likely lose those litigation efforts\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: Oh, so you\u2019re saying, so hold on, just to be clear, it\u2019s not the bill, you\u2019re saying that the\u2013 but, wait, wait wait. So, you\u2019re saying the NCAA threatened you and you don\u2019t think you can win that fight. They said if you sign this, we won\u2019t allow girls in South Dakota to play and you don\u2019t think you can win in court, even though the publicly overwhelmingly supports you nationally. And so you\u2019re caving to the NCAA? I think that\u2019s what you\u2019re saying.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: No, that\u2019s not right at all, Tucker. In fact, you\u2019re wrong, completely. I\u2019ve been working on this issue for years. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: Tell me how.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: In fact, several years ago, I fought, I fought USDA to make sure that for each rodeo and that the sport of rodeo could keep girls events, girls events and boys events, boys events. So I\u2019ve been working on this for many, many years. And back since November, I\u2019ve been consulting with legal scholars and professors across the country, asking them how do I protect women\u2019s sports. And they\u2019ve gone through the steps to how I would legally challenge the NCAA and keep them from bullying the State of South Dakota. And what they\u2019ve told me to do is that I need to build a coalition. So that\u2019s why today, I launched Defend Title IX Now .com. And that\u2019s going to allow us to build a coalition of states that can fight the NCAA. Listen, I\u2019m sick and tired of the NCAA threatening states, challenging us, and bullying us. And so we\u2019re going to build a coalition of leaders, athletes and people who want to protect women\u2019s sports and want to make sure that our women keep Title IX in place to protect their right to be competitive and to be rewarded by participating in these team sports and made sure this coalition can fight the NCAA to make sure we\u2019re protecting Title IX.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: But these standards far predate Title IX, and I\u2019m not exactly sure why Title IX is relevant or even really worth defending, I mean, this is thousands of years of common sense and tradition. Girls play girls\u2019 sports, boys play boy\u2019s sports, why not instead, just say bring it on NCAA? I\u2019m a national figure. Go ahead and try and exclude us. I will fight you in the court of public opinion and defend principle. Why not just do that?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: Tucker, you\u2019re preaching my sermon. That\u2019s what I did today. Today I, with Herschel Walker\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: You vetoed the bill. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: \u2013with Nancy Lopez, we all stood together. I did not veto the bill. I did a style and form revision and ask the legislator legislature to change it so that I can win. Listen, I\u2019m not interested in participation trophy. I\u2019m not interested in picking a fight that we can\u2019t win. I am a problem solver. I come to the table and I don\u2019t want to have talking points. And I\u2019ve been bullied for the last year by liberals, Tucker. I\u2019m not gonna let anybody from the NCAA, from any big business, I\u2019m not gonna even let conservatives on the right bully me. I\u2019m going to solve the problem, I\u2019m going to make sure that we\u2019re building strength in numbers. And we\u2019re going after the NCAA, and make sure that we\u2019re keeping only girls playing and girls\u2019 sports. I\u2019ve been doing this for years, and I\u2019m going to solve the problem, not just pick a fight to pick a fight.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: Well, but the legislature, you\u2019re saying was just picking a fight to pick a fight, I thought that they were trying to codify what the majority of your citizens want, which is girls\u2019 sports for girls and boy\u2019s sports for boys. Here the NCAA comes in and says, if you do that, you\u2019re going to lose a court battle. And so you said, well, the bill can\u2019t go forward, you have a democratic process that arose from your own citizens, they want this bill, and you\u2019ve stopped it. So I\u2019m not really sure this is defending women\u2019s sports, with respect\u2013&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: Well, the bill, Tucker, Tucker, the bill that my legislature gave me is a trial lawyer\u2019s dream, it creates more and more litigation and regulation that\u2019s impossible to comply with for families and for school districts and people going forward. What I\u2019m interested in doing is making sure we\u2019re protecting girls\u2019 sports. And we\u2019re going forward to fight the NCAA and what we\u2019re going to do as well is if they don\u2019t fix this through the silent form revision, I\u2019m going to ask them to introduce a new bill. If they don\u2019t do that, I\u2019m going to immediately bring them back into a special session and tell them we\u2019re going to protect girls\u2019 sports through K- 12. And then we\u2019re going to go and fight the NCAA through a coalition to make sure that we can continue to protect Title IX and defend Title IX.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: Very, very quickly, how would the bill as written make it harder, as you just said, for girls to participate in sports? You said it\u2019s hard for them to comply with the requirements of the bill. What do you mean, for those of us who aren\u2019t following this closely specifically by that?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: Well, did you read the bill or the style and reform message that I sent to the legislature?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: I did. I did.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NOEM: What it said, I asked for changes for the regulations and how kids would have to prove that they\u2019re boys and girls. I asked them not to open it up to litigation. If a child doesn\u2019t make a team, they up to a year later can come back and sue every member of that team in the K-12 system and the entire school district as well and continue suing so that they have the opportunity to play. If we&nbsp;put the collegiate athletics on there, then we will get punitively challenged by the NCAA, and then we\u2019ll have to continue to fight them and a court district that is not friendly to winning. That\u2019s the what the legal scholars have told me for many, many months is that my chances of winning in court are very, very low. My chances of winning this, as you\u2019ve stated in the public opinion is extremely, extremely successful. So that\u2019s why I\u2019m building this coalition to make sure we\u2019re taking our argument to the public. And we\u2019re going to tell the NCAA that this coalition will fight to make sure we\u2019re protecting women\u2019s sports.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CARLSON: I appreciate coming on today. Governor Christie, I\u2019m with South Dakota.
