EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING AT THE CAPITOL.

>> STOP THE COUP!

STOP THE COUP!

YOU LISTEN TO US.

YOU WORK FOR US!

YOU DON'T GET TO SIT HERE AND DO IT IN SILENCE AND ACT LIKE A [ BLEEP ] WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE QUORUM -- >> QUORUM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY OF LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE ARE CREATING NEW TENSIONS, AS PROTESTERS CAME TO THE CAPITOL, INTERRUPTING A COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF ONLY REPUBLICANS.

>> YOUR VOTE IS GETTING TRANSWOMEN KILLED.

YOUR VOTE IS AFFECTING MY COMMUNITY.

YOUR VOTE [ BLEEP ] IS WHY I KEEP HAVING TO BURY MY SISTERS.

KNOCK IT OFF.

>> GET AWAY FROM MY PERSONAL SPACE.

AND STOP YELLING IN MY FACE.

>> THIS RESOLUTION IS URGING THE GOVERNOR TO ENFORCE THE LAW AND DIRECT THE STATE PATROL TO ENFORCE THE LAW AND HELP OUR SERGEANT AT ARMS SECURE THE ABSENT MEMBERS SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE WORK OF THE HOUSE.

>> Mary: ONE SIDE OF THE AISLE IS STILL EMPTY, AS HOUSE DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO BOYCOTT THE CAPITOL.

>> THE REASON WHY WE'RE TAKING THIS UNPRECEDENTED STEP OF DENYING QUORUM HERE IN MINNESOTA, FIRST TIME IN TATE HISTORY, IS BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER HAD A POLITICAL PARTY PROPOSE TO USE A VOTING ADVANTAGE TO KICK OUT A MEMBER.

>> DO THEY REALLY WANT TO KICK ME OUT, DO THEY NOT WANT TO KICK ME OUT?

AND EVERYTHING WE'VE HEARD IS THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL, IF WE ARE TO STEP FOOT IN THAT BUILDING.

THEY KNOW IT IS PUBLICLY INDEFENSIBLE TO SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO KICK OUT A REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAS WON THEIR ELECTION, WON THEIR RECOUNT AND WON THEIR COURT CASE.

AND, SO, THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TELLING NOBODY.

>> Mary: REPUBLICANS ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH SESSION, INTRODUCING THEIR TOP THREE BILLS, ALL ADDRESSING FRAUD IN STATE GOVERNMENT.

THEY SAY THE AMOUNT IS APPROACHING A BILLION DOLLARS.

>> WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST NUMBER F YEARS UNDER THE WALZ ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN A RAMPANT WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

>> IT'S TIME TO HOLD GOVERNOR WALZ AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE.

EVERYWHERE I GO IN MY DISTRICT, FOLKS BRING THIS UP TO ME THAT THEY WANT THE WASTE, THE FRAUD AND THE BUSE TO STOP.

THEY'RE SICK AND TIRED OF THEIR HARD-EARNED TAX DOLLARS GOING THROUGH THE HANDS OF IRRESPONSIBLE STATE GOVERNMENT.

>> I CAN TELL YOU, IT'S BEEN SHOCKING FOR ME TO COME BACK IN HE LAST TWO YEARS AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED IN STATE GOVERNMENT.

THIS DID NOT EXIST.

MINNESOTA WAS A GOOD GOVERNMENT STATE.

FOR ALL OF ITS HISTORY.

UNDER BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS.

>> Mary: GOVERNOR WALZ GOT A STANDING OVATION AT A HOUSING RALLY AFTER DELIVERING RECORD FUNDING FOR THE ISSUE IN MINNESOTA, ALTHOUGH HE SEEMS TO BE SPEAKING TO A BROADER POLITICAL AUDIENCE.

>> THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE THAT STRETCHES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.

AND I COULD HAVE MISSED IT, BUT I DID NOT HEAR A SINGLE WORD ABOUT HOUSING YESTERDAY COMING OUT OF D.C. PEOPLE SAY, WELL, IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY.

NO, BUT SOMETIMES IT SURE THE HELL IS ABOUT MONEY.
