STATE STEVE SIMON ABOUT NEW ELECTION LAWS AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOUR BALLOT BUT FIRST THE FINAL HOURS OF SESSION WERE PUCT PUNCTUATED BY DISORDER IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE.

>> THERE BEING -- >> Mr. PRESIDENT, POINT OF ORDER.

>> 18 AYES AND -- [ ALL SHOUTING ] >> Mary: AN UNPRECEDENTED SUSTAINED SHOUTING MATCH MARKS THE END OF SESSION.

[ ALL SHOUTING ] AS DEMOCRATS WHO RUN THE SENATE STRUGGLED TO SPEAK ABOVE REPUBLICANS YELLING FURIOUSLY IN THE MINORITY AS A BILL, 2,000 PAGES LONG, PUSHED THROUGH.

[ ALL SHOUTING ] IN THE CHAOS, THE MAIN WORK OF SESSION, A BONDING BILL, DIDN'T GET THROUGH IN TIME.

>> Mr. PRESIDENT -- >> Mr. PRESIDENT.

>> IT'S PAST MIDNIGHT.

NO BUSINESS CAN BE CONDUCTED AFTER MIDNIGHT.

NO BILLS CAN BE PASSED FTER MIDNIGHTS, Mr. PRESIDENT.

>> I JUST FEEL GROSS COMING OFF THAT SENATE FLOOR TODAY.

THE ABUSE OF THE RULES.

THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILLS THAT ARE COMING OFF OF THERE.

AND BY THE WAY, THEY USED AN ALLEGEALLEGED FELON TO PASS THEE BILLS.

>> Mary: THE FELONY ARREST PROVES A STRAIN TO SESSION.

>> MY EARS ARE INDUSTRIAL RINGING.

ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES, IN THE MINORITY, USED HIS VOICE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T PASS A BONDING BILL.

THE BONDING BILL CAME TO US LATE.

WE LOST IT BY ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

IT FOLLOWED THE RULES.

IT CAN'T PASS MIDNIGHT.

[ ALL SHOUTING >> Mary: THE HOUSE HAS OFTEN HAD ROWDY CONCLUSIONS.

REPUBLICANS THERE TOO PROTESTED.

>> RIDICULOUS.

ABSOLUTE CHAOTIC END TO THE SESSION.

THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY ABSOLUTELY RAMMED THROUGH 2,860 PAGES.

THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER.

ANYONE IN -- WATCHING OR WANTING TO GO ONLINE TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THERE.

THERE WERE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS THAT WERE COMBINED INTO THIS ONE EXTORTION BILL.

>> Mary: THE D.F.L.

LEADER HAS SEEN POLITICS CHANGE OF LATE.

>> YOU'VE SEEN A REAL COARSENING OF DEBATE IN THE TIME THAT I'VE SERVED HERE FROM WHEN THE TEA PARTY CAME IN 2010, SO WHEN THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS CAME IN 2016.

AND WHERE WE USED TO HAVE DEBATE, WE NOW HAVE PEOPLE KIND OF SCREAMING AT US.

THERE'S A MUCH MORE MEAN SPIRITED FEATURE TO HE DEBATE.

>> I DON'T THINK YOU CAN HAVE UNLIMITED DEBATE.

>> Mary: AND EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT BALLOT QUESTION AGAIN FAILED TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.

>> WE MOVED THE CAUSE FORWARD.

MANY OF THE THINGS WE DO AT THE LEGISLATURE TAKE, LIKE, A DECADE OR TWO TO GET DONE.

AND SO I THINK IN THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE MOVED LIGHT YEARS.

>> Mary: THE NUMBER OF NEW MEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR MADE HISTORY IN THIS LEGISLATURE.

>> WE WERE COMPLETELY SEAM ROLLED BY THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY.

I HAVE BEEN A MINORITY MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED THIS POORLY.

>> THIS TRIFECTAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER, NOT JUST FOR THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, BUT SENATOR MINNESOTANS.

REMEMBER THAT THIS NOVEMBER.

WHEN WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLL AND YOU ARE VOTING.

>> RESPECT WILL FADE, BUT THE WORK WILL REMAIN.

>> Mary: DEMOCRATS COMPLETE CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT BOUGHT ONE BIG COMPROMISE AT THE END TO KEEP AND ASSIST UBER AND LYFT DRIVERS.

>> IT WAS THE ABILITY TO TRY AND GET THE RIDESHARE COMPANIES TO THE TABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS UNDERSTOOD AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE COMPROMISES WERE DONE.

THIS IS HARD.

NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS IN THE COUNTRY.

>> THIS DAMN BILL.

[ Laughter ] OH, MAN.

IT'S BEEN TWO LONG YEARS.

>> Mary: LAST Y YEAR, IT WAS AND STILL IS THE ONLY VETO THE GOVERNOR ISSUED IN THE TRIFECTA.

>> THIS HAS BEEN ABOUT FAIR WAGES, FAIR TREATMENT, AND PROTECTING WORKERS.

>> WHAT AM I MOST EXCITED?

I'M EXCITED
