| 0:00.0 | After Ilhan Omar danced on Charlie Kirk's grave, I'm done. I can deal with people when they're honest and forthright about who they are. |
| 0:12.2 | Tim Walls, I can't really deal with Tim. Tim is a pathological liar. He has lied about his military career. He has lied about, I mean, he lied about something as |
| 0:23.1 | stupid as when he was at Tiananmen Square. He lies about everything. You can't do business with |
| 0:30.0 | liars. You can do business with people you disagree with, you know, fundamentally core values, |
| 0:36.5 | as long as they are honest about who they are. I always used to say, you know, I ran against Mark Dayton a little more than a decade ago. The one thing that I liked about Mark Dayton is he said what he was going to do, and then he did it, and people were surprised. He did raise your taxes. He did all these things that he promised you he was going to do during the |
| 0:55.3 | election. And that's the kind of honesty you want, not somebody who literally lies to you to your |
| 1:02.3 | face. And then the other part is how disgusting. Melissa Hortman, 424 to zero on the resolution denouncing the assassination of Melissa and her husband, who I literally was elected with Melissa back in 2005. |

| 1:31.3 | what your beliefs are. It doesn't, if you're expressing yourself, you should be allowed to do that |
| 1:36.3 | in this country without fear of being assassinated. Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It doesn't |
| 1:42.3 | matter the reason. |
| 1:46.7 | It's wrong, and it should never be tolerated. |
| 1:50.1 | And when that representative, who is disgusting, |
| 1:53.6 | this is the same woman that went to the University of Minnesota when the anti-Semitic behavior was happening |
| 1:57.9 | and effectively called for violence against Jewish students. |
| 2:11.6 | Welcome to a brand new episode of the Michelle Tafoya podcast. |
| 2:15.3 | This is a fiery one. |
| 2:17.7 | When I asked House Majority Whip Tom Emmer to come on the show, |
| 2:22.0 | I had no idea he was going to spill what he spilled on Ilhan Omar. |
| 2:28.1 | This is some amazing stuff. |
| 2:30.6 | You're going to want to listen. |
