And then we finally, you know, the, the cover has kind of really been blown off of it, um, in these last couple years.
Harry NiskaGUEST
When we, uh, got to a tie in the Minnesota House, we made it a priority to have a fraud prevention committee, uh, that continued to, you know, expose some of this stuff.
Harry NiskaGUEST
Uh, there was the Nick Shirley video at the end of last year with the infamous Learing Center that I think, uh, really, you know, put a fine point on a lot of this stuff, th- that, that the state government was giving money to something that, you know, some childcare center that couldn't even spell learning, uh, correctly.
Harry NiskaGUEST
Um, and then just continue- the hits have continued to come.
Harry NiskaGUEST
This election is gonna be very, very close for both the House and the Senate, and I'm optimistic that we're gonna have a, a, a chance to win.

Jeff SteinHOST
And I just wonder, I mean, I understand these statewide office holders, they're Democrats, they're doubling down on it.
Lisa DemuthGUEST
I am not gonna do those things just because we have the votes.
Lisa DemuthGUEST
I have proven that in my time in the House as speaker with a tied legislature, that you can bring Democrats and Republicans together and try to get the best things done-
Kenny OlsonPANELIST

Uh, Lisa, we drag, uh, Garofalo in here from time to time-

Kenny OlsonPANELIST
... and shine the, uh, the lights on him, and the one thing that he always says, uh, kind of echoes what you just said about working together and if the Republicans control both the House and the Senate.
Kenny OlsonPANELIST
Um, he said, "You need a balanced legislature to get things done." I know he would like what you said.
Chris ReuversHOST
And I thought that was pre- that was pretty, that was pretty noble of her to say.
Chris ReuversHOST
She said, "It's my job to be able to work with both sides." And she's done, I think, tried to do at least, a very fair job of that as, as Madam Speaker of the House.
Chris ReuversHOST
I, she's-
Mike FrattelloniHOST
Yeah, you wanna be nonpartisan and you wanna get stuff done.

Peter CoxCORRESPONDENT
Zach Stevenson, the DFL leader in the Minnesota House, says he's not surprised.
Zach StevensonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It really shows a lack of enthusiasm on the Republican side.
Zach StevensonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And look, particularly midterm elections are often decided by turnout, and if you can't even find a candidate who's willing to run, are you gonna be able to turn out your voters in the fall? The primary suggests no.
Ron PlaconeHOST
Violations can result in civil penalties of up to $500,000.
Ron PlaconeHOST
The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, clearing the Minnesota House 132 to 1. who is that one person by the way and the senate 65 to nil uh governor walls when elon musk sued about this governor tim walls uh who uh that guy's been pretty frustrating in many ways but he's right on here he says see you in court creep which is accurate um so xai argues the law violates the first amendment by restricting protected expression I am not a constitutional expert, but here's something I do know that I can say with the utmost confidence.

And get ready to do the work that Minnesotans are counting on each one of us to do together.

Dana FergusonCORRESPONDENT
They both won their party's convention endorsements, but They ended up getting beat in the party primaries.

And then as recently as this year on the Republican side, there were women who were running for the Republican nod, thinking of Representatives Peggy Bennett and Kristen Robbins and obviously House Speaker Lisa Damoth, too.
Brian BakstHOST
And the Capitol's had women at the negotiating table for quite a while.
Kenny GallagherHOST
But.
Kenny GallagherHOST
They voted they'd be in the Minnesota House, and they deadlocked, 8-8 vote, on a resolution to advance impeachment investigations against Tim Walz and Keith Ellison.
Kenny GallagherHOST
Now, why were these resolutions, why did they fail? Why did they die in committee? Because there were enough Democrats to make them die in committee.
Kenny GallagherHOST
And even furthermore, why did this come forward in the first place?
