secretary benson, attorney general nessel, thank you for being here. it's a coup to have either one of you, fwou have you both is a real pleasure. thank you. >> thanks for having us. >> well, madam attorney general, let me start with you. we have had questions since we started to realize the scope of this scheme as to whether or not this -- it implicates criminal acts, whether or not it's legal to forge an election-related yourself to be an public official or not. is this a matter for criminal investigation? >> yeah, absolutely it is. and i will tell you that we've been evaluating charges for nearly a year now based on the activities. as soon as we became aware of that. i will say under state law i think clearly you have forgery of a public record, which is a 14-year offense, and election law forgery, which is a five-year offense. but what we have decided to do with the investigation in light of the fact that, of course, we have seen, as you pointed out, multiple times now, various different false slate of electors from seven different states, in what

state secretary benson, general nestle. thank you both for being election cemetery benson here. i really i appreciate you both being. appreciate you both being here here. it's it's a coup to have a crew to have either one of either one of you here. you, but to have both of you is a pleasure. >> thanks for having us. >> -- >> let me start with you. we have had questions, since we started to has coped the scheme as to whether it implicates any criminal acts. whether or not it's legal to four general document like this. to assert yourself to be a public official, effectively, when you're not. it is potentially a matter for criminal investigation? >> yeah, absolutely. we've been evaluating charges for nearly a year now. almost as soon as we became aware of. it under state law i think clearly you have forgery of public record, which is in. offense and elections in rural law forgery, which is a five-year offense. but what we have decided to with the investigation, in light of the fact that we have, as you pointed out multiple times, now various different fall slate of electors from di

let's issue with our panel guy benson first, the most immediate threat seems to be making over ukraine did they sense the biden administration, perhaps eight watch what happened in afghanistan the biden administration really is not tough enough and is not going to really make them pay and the way it makes says they will and how dangerous is a situation? >> i cannot imagine the russians and vladimir putin and other planners at the kremlin watch the debacle in afghanistan and the disgraceful situation that played out there and said okay we are terrified of this administration and their seriousness and their toughness. that is probably part of their calculation here. we should not get too myopic this is mostly about internal russian politics and power politics in that part of the world. will be very interesting to see them very much an open question and a scary one heading into 2022 is, are the deterrent factors being floated and threatened by the west and not just the united states are those going to be enough and sufficient to change the calculus for vladimir putin compared to his decis

former spokesman -- also an advisor to the -- kurt, we just heard from secretary benson. we now have a justice department investigation, and the january six committee looking at the fake electors. can you explain quickly how those two bodies coordinate. to make sure that they're staying at each other's way, and advancing in progressing in the investigation. ? >> katie, i think the biggest difference is that the january six committee will be a public body of work while, with the justice department is doing is going to be more private, until they're ready to take action. i would think that the work being done by the committee, because of this -- because they will have depositions and transcripts, that that will be a bodily of work that will be available to the justice department, as that comes out. back in the day, we would oftentimes enter a lot of things in the official record of the committee, just so that anybody who might want to look at that, from a law enforcement perspective, would have access to that information. i expect the same thing to happen now. >> so, it fee

guy benson, how did this happen? it was june 22nd of last year that he received $1,400 in covid payments. i know big mistakes happen, with big bureaucracy, but this is crazy. >> guy: you wonder how many other lawbreakers and inmates and felons have gotten that kind of money wrongfully. he's a very high-profile case, obviously, for all the reasons we understand. a lot of americans wonder why he is still alive given what he did. but he certainly should not be getting taxpayer benefits, covid related or otherwise, to pay and buy gifts, reportedly, for members of his family. how does that happen? that kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen. one other point, who are these private citizens donating to him? i think they should maybe be looked into. given his terroristic activities, someone who is moved to give money to that person behind bars, it maybe worth taking a look at. >> kayleigh: it is worth taking a look at, because we are looking right now. we don't know their names, the take a look at this chart, harris. ther

secretary of state benson joins me now. secretary benefit secretary benson, how would these electors end up in legal jeopardy? >> the voters clearly said who won the state of michigan for the presidency, and therefore in which directions the electors would vote. at the same time there was this shadow effort to lie to the federal government about who michigan's electors were and now we're wanting to ensure there's accountability and consequences for that effort but also so that we can connect the dots because we know we weren't the only state dealing with this and we know this possibly won't be the only election in which this is attempted. this was an attempt to lie and misrepresent the result of michigan's elections in 2022 to the federal government. i'm grateful we had our official electors into the national archives first so when the archives received the duplicate, they new clearly it was false. but that shouldn't discount potentially more sophisticated efforts to do the same in the future that might even have a greater

secretary benson, let me start with you. "the washington post" spoke with michigan's attorney general and here is what she told them about her challenger who is a trump backed conservative who filed a lawsuit challenging the vote in michigan. quote, there is no question if i am replaced by matthew democracy falls in michigan. not maybe. not possibly. certainly. he has made it clear not only he supports the big lie he is one of the originators of the big lie, unquote. obviously she faces an election challenge there but do you think that is hyperbole? if not, what does it mean for the people of michigan if their democracy falls? >> no it is not hyperbole. democracy is on the ballot this fall. it is an opportunity for voters to hold accountable those who have lied time and time again spreading misinformation about the truth of the 2020 election. it is also a potential opportunity for those bad actors who have clearly shown they don't believe in democracy to gain the lefrs of power over our democracy that i as chief election off

i think it's important that secretary benson made which is that since the attacks in 2020 presidential election and since the insurrection, rather than seeing the republican party step back and realize they had gone way too far, we have seen efts to purge republicans officials who did the right thing in 2020 and there will be efforts to unseat the democratic officials who stood in the way of those attacks and our system worked in part because people in the key positions did the right thing. 2022 was going to have an impact on what happens with those positions in the future. >> what is the path forward here. the thing that seems most key here is the position of secretary state, secretary benson where you would be the one. in the hypothetical effort, it will be your office bringing suit. those positions really seem crucial and important heading into these midterms. >> oh, yeah. in michigan, i'm fortunate enough to have great partner in the attorney general's office where we can work in concert to defend and protect democracy. these statewide roles are pivotal and democracy's ability to s

bringing in benson wang. he will be a panel list. if you could unmute yourself and turn on your camera. >> we still can't hear him. >> is jeffrey there. >> so sorry, guys. i am not great with the zoom. i missed the last thing you said. am i clear to speak? great. sorry. good evening, president and commissioners, i am benson wang, operating partner of the dorian restaurant. excited to finalize the permit after two long years. we are well aware of many concerns among the neighbors with poor past experiences. our past performance is who we are. we are willing to do what it takes to operate within the law. as fourth generation restaurant owner i take this job seriously. i learned the only way to succeed is to serve the needs of the community around you. to apply we have been responsive to the community. three outreach events with 100 attendees. december 7th, 40 people attended. we shared personal contact information and developed. [indiscernable] health and safety. these include developing the front for removal, establishing sound decibe

guy benson radio show. guy benson, how is it after that awful attack on american democracy that we are mired in partisan media sniping about what happened, what the meaning was -- of it is and was it really that bad? >> because that's what we do in this country and in this media environment, we snipe at each other, and we go to our own corners in a lot of cases. and whatever the story is that benefits your side or your tribe, that's what people tend to fall into. i think as january 6th unfolded before our eyes, it was horrifying to virtually everyone who watched it. it was a national disgrace. we all sensed it in that moment. it was covered that way briefly, and then all the spin wars began. and you have some people over on the left who i think correctly identify it as a national disgrace, but obsess and fixate over it. if you watch some of the coverage, it's like it's the only story in america, which is crazy. it's about the former president and what happened, you know, almost a year ago at this point. and

i appreciate your time, secretary benson. you hear phil. the white house knows the federal bill will fail but there will be a vote, anyway. this weekend, senator mitt romney defended his opposition to the bill and he said and i quote him, democrats feel instead of elections being run at the state level, they should really be managed and run at the federal level. recognize that the founders didn't have that vision in mind. now, when you look at this from your position, as a secretary of state, do you see some merit in that? do you believe that reform, such that they are needed, should be left to the states? >> i do think states are the laboratories of democracy and so many of what michigan does and other states do are exactly part of the federal floor that is being talked about. i don't think it is accurate for -- for senator romney to say that those supporting the freedom to vote act, like myself, think that elections should be run at the federal level. we don't. it is about having federal protections against what is happening in some state

party panel is back, guy benson and arash, is your name rush? >> it is, i go by ari. kennedy: i feel bad, we are just meeting. >> my diet soda, whatever you call me. whatever you call me. [laughter] kennedy: and hannah cox. hannah, this poor peter doocy, he can't catch up break, he's trying to ask a legitimate question and gets called a very filthy foul word questioning his legitimacy as a young man. i for one from of my heart is sad. >> i think it odd, it's not even like he was being antagonistic toward biden or asking a copter question, he was asking about inflation in the economy, things all americans deserve answers work and that was biden's response? this is absurd but i have to say, i am not surprised because i've been predicting biden what throw hands the primary. this man wants to chuckle. literally campaign rallies for himself what he get in the face of his followers and poked them in the chest and get confrontational, i think it's he is as a person and we happen to catch it on microphone this time so i feel bad for him but the end of the day he's doing his j

guy benson, let's start with you. >> guy: on the ice cream? is the president loves his ice cream, we know this. with all the threats that you just mention percolating right now and perhaps coming to a head, with the white house insisting that his schedule is absolutely packed from dawn until dusk basically, you can ask a question about optics. i saw the republican party put out video juxtaposing jen psaki, saying how busy the president was with him eating his ice cream at jenny's in washington, d.c. i think the bigger question here of course is, what is the biden administration prepared to do if russia invades ukraine? what happened imminently or after the olympics as a lot of the experts seem to be suggesting it would've, and his nato, are the u.s. western allies actually on the same page? because the president suggested last week it is a press conference that was not the case. that's precisely the sort of weakness that i think putin can sort of smell and sense and exploit. >> harris: lets it with the president didn't do. kayleigh mcenany, le

if you consider the fact that secretary benson and i are democrats. we are registered democratic party members and we vote that way in our personal lives. but when we come into our jobs, we make sure elections are run fairly and accurately and securely. this type of behaior is very scary. it's a threat to our democracy. >> secretary benson, you and i have talked about this, including the fact that in michigan, there are automatic audits, audits you can do, real audits. the questions that came up in the election were swatted away in every case by the courts. and yet, there's a persistent percentage of people who believe this big lie. npr rolled last week. a majority of republicans believe joe biden was not the popularly elected president of the united states. what do you do about this persistent big lie that becomes a reality? >> i think a number of things. you need leaders on both sides of the aisle committed to telling the truth. we haven't had that, particularly from the republican party. we need to see people who are committed not just to -- some h

benson, we are grateful you are here. could you talk a little bit about, first and foremost, what you see as noteworthy in this report for your campus? but, also, how when it comes down to having to navigate difficult conversations, and let's put an obvious one on the table, think about the appropriateness, the role for affirmative action. this is an issue that has laid out in the halls of congress and is being played out in our court system, yet, on campuses, this is often a third real issue when it is discussed. how do we, based on what we were told, how do we spread the needle and make sure we have good conversations that ultimately are robust but nevertheless do not have the effect of undermining a sense of belonging on the part of all the participants in the conversation? so two questions, first reaction and then the hard example. >> reaction to the report, which i will think through and talk about quickly, while i am not a member of the task force, i feel connected to the effort by having participated in the leading

secretary benson thanks for coming this morning. yo wrote an op-ed saying the 2020 election was the most secure and accessible in your state's history, why? >> number one, first, thanks for having me and focusing on this really critical issue right now, but number one is because more people voted than ever before. we had the highest turnover we've ever had. more michigan citizens on both sides of the aisle participated and took advantage of their opportunities, their options to vote whether it was by mail or absentee or in person. and secondly, we no security breaches. our elections were secure. every valid vote was counted. it was counted efficiently, more efficiently than it had been in the past, and then third, our results withstood not just over 250 official audits at the state and local level, all of which affirmed the accuracy of those results, we also withstood an extraordinary amount of scrutiny, dozens of lawsuits trying to upend, and yet our results held. our democracy prevailed ask our voters will and voices were ultimate
