REPORTERS ABOUT IN JUST A MINUTE.

WE'LL ALSO HER FROM AGO AGRICULTURAL LEADERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE.

BUT FIRST, A LOOK AT THE ACTION HEATING UP HERE AT THE CAPITOL.

>> Mary: OWES AND IN THE MINNESOTA CAPITOL, PROTESTORS TOOK ON ELON MUSK AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLING FOR THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY IN DAYS OF DIFFERENT RALLIES.

>> STANDING ROOM ONLY OF THE THREE FLOORS OF THE CAPITOL ROTUNDA.

>> SHE TOOK A VOTE WHERE SHE HAD A PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THE VOTE.

AND SO WE NEED TO UPHOLD THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT TO RESTORE THAT CONFIDENCE THAT MINNESOTANS EXPECT AND DESERVE IN THE LEGISLATION THAT IS PASSED AND WHEN IT'S PASSED BY ONE VOTE, EVERYBODY KNOWS IN THE BACK OF THEIR MIND THAT IT IS DONE SO
