- [David Brody] SouthDakota Gov. Kristi Noem

says she's ready to fightthe Biden Administration's

recent federal vaccine mandatefor private businesses.

- What President Biden is doing

by these mandates coming downto businesses and employers

that employ more than 100people, is unconstitutional.

The Constitution clearly states

that there are limited powersfor the federal government

and that all other powersare delegated to the states.

So I will, as soon asthat guidance comes out,

be filing litigation andI have told the president

that I would see him in court.

- On the topic of vaccines and science,

she lowered the boom on Dr. Fauci.

What's your take on Fauci, doyou think he should be fired?

- Well, Fauci's done a gravedisservice to this country.

What he has done is discreditedour health officials.

He's been political,he's not been consistent.

He has not followed the science,

therefore his credibility is down to zero.

- While Noem's praise forFauci is non-existent,

it's the opposite when it comes

to Texas' pro-life heartbeat law.

It may be controversial,but Noem is taking a stand.

Do you wanna see a SouthDakota law just like Texas?

What's your view on, on that?

- Well, we reached outimmediately to those who drafted

and worked on the Texas lawand are consulting with them

on how that bill would fitin our statute as well.

So, yes, I think it wasa fantastic win for us.

- [David Brody] She alsowent on the offensive

on telemedicine abortions.

Biden Administrationpolicy allows for women

to get abortions without seeingan in-person doctor, first.

Her executive order did awaywith that in South Dakota.

She says this administrationhas been ungodly.

- What they are doing andthe actions they're taking,

are not biblical.

And I know they have many timestalk about being religious,

but I think that it'sreally time for all of us

to look at the actions of our leaders

and see if they line upwith the word of God.

- Which leads us to thespiritual state of our nation.

A stand Noem says is crucialfor our nation to survive.

Where do you see this fightplaying out in America

from a spiritual standpoint?

- Well, we've seen oursociety, our culture degrade

as we've removed God out of our lives

and people become what theyspend their time doing.

I really believe that focusing

on those foundational, biblicalprinciples that teach us

that every life has value,every person has a purpose,

will recenter our kids and helpus really heal this division

that we see taking over our country.

- [David Brody] It's anuphill battle for sure.
