Pecker Gives Damning Testimony in Trump Trial; Noem Faces Backlash for Killing Dog: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

The failure to train a dog is on the owner. This wasn’t some seasoned dog. We’re talking about a 14 month old pupper.

[rosecity]

Please never stop doing your Lindsey Graham impressions, because they are a thing of beauty, and only slightly less ludicrous than the man himself.

[richardreynolds]

The idea of her thinking it would be OK to go public with killing a puppy speaks to her judgement as much as her callousness towards life. How could she possible expect it would be OK to say. "I shot a puppy." to the general public...a puppy for God's sake.

This woman should not be in charge of an outhouse.

[Mike-phrn]

Noem said "the dog was untrainable".
It was a puppy.
Good thing your parents don't share your decision making process.

[AshtarteD]

Noem's defense is so disgusting. My husband was raised on a dairy farm and was used to having to put down animals WHEN THEY WERE OLD AND INVALID. Noem also put down a goat because it was "mean and nasty" and apparently smelled bad. Not cause it was old or needed to be done but because she's a monster.

[DennisSpadafore-btxv]

The ending was gold. "Gave me a smile I could be proud of". That's the last thing that dog saw.

[amberx]

That puppy story is going to give me nightmares. I wish I could unhear it. I wondered why the pet adoption process at the SPCA required such a long questionnaire, and now I see that they’re trying to weed out exactly this type of person.

[emiebex]

When I saw this story my only thought was Kristi Noem is a Sociopath who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anything with a pulse.

[yoha]

That Linsey Graham impression always kills me😂

[lavonwatson]

I'm beginning to think that Noem is worthless and untrainable. I'm wondering what she would say we should do about that? 😂

[emiebex]

Steven Miller calling Trump a "Fashion Icon" was the weirdest thing ever!

[funnyfarm]

We adopted a dog a dog in 2019 that was 26 months old in January 2019. She had been in two other homes in the 90 days prior to us being approved to adopt her. She had aggression issues they told us, so they were concerned. We told them we have trained dogs all our lives. Well she bit me one time in training her, but she is still here after five years. She is now so gentle and snuggly, trained to many hand signals, whistle signals and voice commands. All it takes is time and the right approach, don't try to fix everything at once. Food or the lack thereof obviously was an issue with her at prior homes (gained 14 pounds after coming here), hair is longer coat is shinier.
Our grandson for a living, works with people and their supposed untrained dogs, to train them right.
Noem shot a smelly goat too. Daughter has goats on her farm, some ranked in the top ten in the USA. Male goats pee on their face to attract the female when they come into their cycle. Don't understand it and don't want to; works for the goats so let them go for it.

[NewMessage]

In her defense, Kristi DeNoem's dalmatian coat looks fantastic!

[grizzlynad]

“It’s the last thing that dog saw” That was dark!! 🤣🤣🤣

[lordcaptain]

Holy heck the closing joke and smile afterwards was wonderful. Thank you Seth 😂😂😂

[treezafernweh]

Seth - I just love when you bring up Lindsey’s mee-maw.
Thank you! 😂

[guided]

lindsey graham impressions are the best!!🤣

[Lyndiloo]

I feel like a lot of people are overlooking the fact that 3 horses truly needing euthanasia at the same time is... highly unlikely.

[johnaverill]

Right, it is normal to put down animals on a farm when they get too old and sick. NOT when they're 14 months old. What a lunatic

[Geekeric]

I don't know how I survive without this show.
