earlier this month, a democratic state senator from wisconsin, wisconsin state senator, chris larsen, he sent a letter to prosecutors asking for an update as to whether or not any criminal investigation was goes nont state on these forgeries, and if not, why not. in addition to that letter to the prosecutors, senator larsen also thought to ask, hey, who let the republican electors into the state capitol that day, into an official meeting room for them to conduct this alleged crime, for them to create this forged document, in a way that sort of made it look real, made it look official? again, this happened december 14th, 2020. the state capitol of wisconsin was formally closed to the public that day because of covid. it was only open for official business. there was no official business under way when a bunch of republicans got together and signed forged paperwork pretending to be wisconsin's electors when they were no such thing. that wasn't official business. the real electors had official business, they didn't. someone in wisconsin thought to ask, well, since they didn't have offici

same with the one from wisconsin. wisconsin's cold this time a year. dave time friendly for perry, just get to the point. some states end up in the middle. something that looks like a diploma, something that looks like a gas station receipt. this one is from nevada. it is very typical. every state does look a little different, but these are all real. and the basic information is the same. we the undersigned, being the duly elected and qualified presidential electors for the state of x. and then they have the votes cast from the electors, from the relevant candidate, they have the signatures and all of the people who are the qualified electors. that is with the real ones look like. can we put all those up on the screen together? i think we got them from a bunch of different states. there is the five that i just mentioned. as you can see, it is the same basic information on all of them. all of these documents serve the same purpose. they'll meet the constitutional threshold they need to me in order to convey this information officially. but they all look

turns out it was not just wisconsin. republicans in michigan and republicans in arizona also created forged documents after the election where they tried to pass themselves off as the real electors for those states. when in fact they were not the real electors for those states. and again, they didn't just prepare these documents for, you know, home scrapbooking, how i wish the election had gone. right? they actually prepared these documents, made them look as official as possible. they cited u.s. law, they proclaimed themselves officially to be the legal representatives of the state. and they sent these things in to the government to be counted. pretty astonishing thing. right? we first got the forged documents from wisconsin last month. and last night, we showed you similar forgeries from michigan and from arizona as well. now, if you watched last night's show, do you remember how i said, when i was talking about this story, raise your hand if you think there will be more of these? yeah, that didn't take long. turns out

turns out it wasn't just wisconsin. on the left side of your screen these are the similar forged documents from republicans in michigan purporting to be the electors from the state of michigan casting their votes for trump, even though michigan voted for biden. on the right side of your screen these are newly unearthed forged documents from republicans in arizona, again purporting to be the real electors from the state of arizona, casting their votes for trump, even though in reality trump lost arizona and biden won. now, in both instances, just like the documents we dug up in wisconsin, in both instances these really are fortunately reese. if you're a state that trump lost and biden won, the electors from your state are electors for biden. but nevertheless, in both instances, here is republicans in michigan and arizona pretending to be their state's electors, pretending to be electors for trump. and i can tell you, i mean, based on our previous reporting about what republicans did with these forgeries in wisconsin, in

ruth coniff is the editor in chief of the wisconsin examiner where she wrote a piece about how wisconsinow. i wonders if you feel the same way about johnson. on the democratic side there are sherrod brown, senators in contested states. they have better politics than you might anticipate given how close their states are and johnson is like the inverse of that. he has far worse politics than you would anticipate based on how close the state of wisconsin is. >> yeah. and as a result he's giving a lot of republicans a heart attack. not only are democrats excited to run against johnson, republicans will say privately that they really, really hoped he would not run. they had some other people who were a little more normal that they had in mind, including mike gallagher, congressman from green bay, who is very personable, presents well, seems kind of moderate. the problem for johnson is the softening of support for trump in the suburbs in wisconsin, which helped defeat trump here in 2020, those are the people that johnson needs. and yet johnson is doubling down on all the positions that the sub

she serves the people of wisconsin as well. course they narrowly flipped red in 2016 which helped ron johnson i think the same year that he won reelection. there's a real gap between ron johnson's politics in the way he performs those politics, and a huge part of the state, which is part of the reason why i think you could argue he's one of the worst republican senators. senator johnson's reaction to the 2020 election has been particularly bad he. amplified and promoted claims the election was fraudulent. he even held a hearing on irregularities last december. three weeks before the insurrection would. do you think that was doing to people to hear those. things he was one of the people whipping up the frenzy ahead of january six, leaking that he planned to reject the certification of electoral votes. he changed his mind at the last second, and after the violent insurrection at the capitol. honestly, i think ron johnson has been the single worst republican on covid, right from the get-go. when he downplayed the risks of this new

they did it in wisconsin, as well. michigan and wisconsin and tried to put those things forward.hat seems to me to be an obvious crime. they were trying to perpetrate a fraud by submitting electors they knew to be fake. why is that not the subject of some sort of criminal charge at this point? >> so we know from merrick garland's speech last week that doj is not saying what it is or isn't looking at but we have garland's vow that he'll look at everything that contributed to the effort that took place on january 6th. we know that the january 6th committee is now reaching out to the states and it's very curious these fraudulent lists of electors were submitted. we know that in at least two of the states where this happened, they got out reached and advised it happened. in one state in arizona they reached out to a group of sovereign citizens, which is a right wing ilitia group and told them to not do it anymore but whether there is more to this is something we'll talked about in the weeks ahead. >> definitely. we'll get into this more tomorrow. think about that folks listening now.

wisconsin voters broke the record for highest turnout ever measured in the state with every one of wisconsin's 72 counties producing an increase in turnout benefiting both presidential candidates. wisconsin's state and local officials and citizens volunteered from both political parties, did heroic work to ensure our election was smooth, safe, and fair. they took important steps to make our election system work safely and securely for all voters while the covid-19 pandemic raged in my home state. wisconsinites cast their ballots for democrats and republicans up and down the ballot, and after wisconsin county clerks in all 72 counties canvassed the results, joe biden won with a margin of over 20,000 votes. the voters of wisconsin chose joe biden and kamala harris to receive our state's ten certified electoral vote oz. but the scrutiny of those election votes through the channels provided by law continued. after an official vote count showed trump lost, his campaign requested a recount and targeted wisconsin's two more diverse counties -- milwaukee and deign. when the recount was completed, it c

that's the year president trump also wins in wisconsin.onsin red for the first time in nearly 30 years. he has been in years that have favored republicans, and this time around, he has some of that historical edge. >> i think of him and roy blunt as probably the two republican senators who most benefitted from trump's coat tails in 2016. charles, nationally, i can tell you from here in washington, there's no seat that democrats want more personally to pick up than this one from the conspiracy theories to the kind of general trolling. what is ron johnson to democrats? >> well, he is the target. he's got the bulls eye on the back. democrats here in wisconsin have had 2022 circled for a year. i think they were hoping they could match up and go after senator johnson even though he had pledged in 2016 he would only do two terms. they have been ready. they've been running ads in 2021 about him. but it was game on seconds after the announcement came out yesterday. and even today we're seeing senator johnson already out with a digital ad on why he

wisconsin book festival. it is my pleasure to welcome you and to welcome our guest to the first time we have celebrated the wisconsin book festival in person in two years to the day. [applause] >> yep. it is wonderful. i really thank you for coming out in person. i want to say hello to the audience watching at home. it is the 20th time, that madison, that wisconsin, that the country has come together to celebrate the wisconsin book festival. i feel a tremendous sense of kind of weight y history as i stand up here today. i want to take this moment to thank madison public library, the library foundation and all of our sponsors. their support, particularly over the last 18 months, but over the last 20 years to ensure that we have free cultural events like this where we can celebrate great wisconsin authors like megan. it's been steadfast and unwavering. a quick round of applause for the library foundation. [applause] to the matter at hand, megan is a writer who is raised and still lives in the midwest. it is alw

under wisconsin laws.greg is with us and he argued this case before the court. they struck down act 77. this is done to protect fraudulent votes only certain that the divide exceptions are stated. in other words the state legislatures decided they don't want to go through the process of amending the constitution. they will just legislate this away. >> this is a big win for you and the state. >> we are quite excited to see the court finally getting a chance to address the merits of the case. unfortunately the supreme court dismissed the case on procedural grounds. this time there is an appeal coming through and we hope we can get this this time. >> walk us through the supreme court in pennsylvania. the next likely stop as the appeals of artie been handed in. very liberal and very democratic i would think it's two important of an issue to ignore. >> they have declined to take the appeal in the first case last year after the presidential election. queries several questions in this case but this time around we

"wisconsin state journal." the new this week in wisconsin was that a county prosecutor, the milwaukee county d.a. who had been asked to look into this matter for possible prosecution, this week he released a letter just yesterday saying that his office has looked into this matter and they have handed it off to state law enforce management inte wisconsin, the wisconsin department of justice, which is overseen by the state's attorney general for them to potentially prosecute it. that lands this as the wisconsin journal puts it -- excuse me the "milwaukee journal sentinal" puts it. but this is live. mine this is front page above the fold news in multiple state over theth course of this week. and with theou focus of the january 6th investigation on this issue and revealing more about it all the time with this new revelation today with cnn from "washington post" that mr. giuliani seems to have headed up, itul seems like we're only going to get more. and theto january 6th investigation today showed a whole bunch of i

now back to wisconsin, an important point in wisconsin.n wisconsin law, it's embedded almost verbatim that one of the reasons the people of wisconsin have to be leery of absentee balloting in wisconsin is to prevent fraud and abuse. but the other thing they said is that we need to be leery of mail in absentee ballot voting because we need to protect people from the overzealous solicitation of voters who may not be interested in voting. that's almost verbatim. in other words, that when you open up votingti to mail in voting, you are opening yourself up to fraud because b people are being targeted who may not actually want tot vote, who may not be paying attention. so those people are targeted and this is the battle that's taking place. it is not something that should be ignored. it's's serious and it's embedded n in wisconsin law, but it'sed actually embedded in the laws all over the country. all right. thank you both. coming up, the indoctrination of your children spiraling out of control. every parent you're watching, you need to be extre

jessica: in arcadia, wisconsin, for "matter of fact," i'm jessica gomez.oledad: joining me now is deepak bhargava. he's the distinguished lecturer of urban studies at the city university of new york. nice to have you with us, sir. so, to what degree is it the pandemic or is it the great resignation or is it low unemployment? or is it all of the above that are causing the labor shortages that we're seeing today? prof. bhargava: because of the pandemic, we've had huge shortages of labor in a variety of industries, in trucking and personal services and education and health care. but that comes on top of a long term trend where the country is aging and our population is growing at the lowest level in over 100 years. soledad: immigration, we know, slowed dramatically, halted, essentially, in this pandemic. what has been the impact on the labor market and therefore the impact on the economy? prof. bhargava: we're seeing dramatic impacts of the slowdown of immigration in a whole variety of sectors, whether it's farm workers or meatpacking workers or health care w

that looks like a possible opportunity for democrats, joe biden won wisconsin, wisconsin's other senatory can go democratic in wisconsin. >> wisconsin, you have the same situation in pennsylvania, where, joe biden won pennsylvania as much as donald trump does not want to admit it. and you know ron johnson, i have to be careful here, because i really do try not to get down in the mud. but i have to tell, you this guy is such a political hack. he likes to pretend he's a manufacturer, a businessman. he promised the voters of wisconsin he would only do two terms, but he loves being a politician so much, she loves scratching donald trump's back so much. he's now going to say the voters of wisconsin, never mind when i told you, ahmed cynical politician, i'm going to do it i feel like for the power, now what i told you. when i initially ran two terms ago. >> he has to begin his campaign with okay, i'm breaking my word, that's the first thing i'm doing is breaking my word. and then go on from there. in a state that is highly competitive for democrats. >> highly competitive. but let's make sure w

slamming into a wisconsin parade.micide with the headline from the "washington post". cnn said sixth victim died after the christmas parade crash. usa today parade crash suspect. talking about crash. greg gutfeld said the media add it all wrong. give it a listen? >> when you're in the media identifying who is responsible must be avoided if it makes you seems race i have. focus on the object and hope the public is stupid. you can run over a christmas parade and kill twice as many people as the boston marathon bombers and they'll call it an accident. the soft bigotry of low expectations turns to crime and murders because they don't believe minorities are responsible for themselves. >> bill: have you thought about that in your home state and how it might have been received? >> there are a couple of things happening frustrating to folks in wisconsin. you have waukesha, again the wrong subset of victim class. they are mostly republican, white and christian. here you have an african-american defendant doesn't fit the media

the president pro tempore: the senator from wisconsin. ms. baldwin: i move to proceed to -- oh, i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. so ordered. ms. baldwin: i move to proceed to executive session to consider calendar number 327. the presiding officer: the question is on the -- the president pro tempore: the question is on the motion. all those in favor, say aye. those opposed, say no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. motion is agreed to. the clerk will report the nomination. the clerk: the clerk: nomination, department of state, ann a. witkowsky of maryland to be assistant secretary for conflict and stabilization operations. ms. baldwin: i send a cloture motion to the desk. the president pro tempore: the clerk will report. the clerk: cloture motion, we, the undersigned senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate, executive calendar number 327, erin a. witkowsky of maryland to be assistant secr

wisconsin's election commission right now, today. these are republican leaders in your state signing a fake slate of electors. >> yes. that's disheartening to say the least, but those individuals were chosen as electors whether on the democrat side or republican side are stalwart supporters. they firmly believed at the time, i think, that donald trump won the election. i think that was prior to all of the investigations that we've held and this is news to me actually. >> i mean, it does seem so shocking, of course, you know, we should note the margin of victory in wisconsin 2020 was identical to the margin in 2016. trump won the first time and lost the second. so republicans in your state are still conducting an investigation of the election and i -- we have had some fantastic reports on this led by michael gableman. more than a year since the election. why are they doing this now do you think? >> well, there were some unusual things that occurred with individuals in green bay and the third party funding and some issues we had in nur

to follow up, the wisconsin national guard had 33 sexual assault cases. those cases were chosen not to be undertaken by the local district attorney. no action was taken and investigation found the victims didn't get any resources and wisconsin has not updated its state military law as it was expected to do. now, u.s. government provides $26 billion a year to national guards across this country. $26 billion. my understanding is your thought is one of encouraging, subtly hoping they will do the right thing but outside of giving them money we don't have any hook to get them to do what they should do. in the case of wisconsin where they haven't changed their military code when they were required to do so, some very current were not pursued and oci has this kind of bizarre function and there's not accountability. what should we do? at what point do we say you need to follow the ucmj or you won't get the money? >> in this case when you look at wisconsin and the accusations that were made and the governor is a leadership changes and these were identified within

if they don't it's up to the governor and in the state of wisconsin. journalists who brought these cases to the attention of the public i don't know that anything would be done and all of us here want to make sure that our national guard servicemembers have the same protections under the law and inthey have become federalized n a time of war or when needed so i really think we have more work to do here. let me ask you about the issue with alcohol. i guess there's no prohibition in using alcohol on those exercise weekends, is that right? >> these would be unit functions after hours. >> all right. how do you ensure that each state is harper lee investigating sexual harassment and sexual assaults? >> they would actually not be able to do the investigation and use their resources do that so they are reliant on law enforcement to do those investigations and as we mentioned before if law enforcement decides for some reason not to do that than oci the administrative abilityin we have supports them. tonight. if it doesn't get tagged it doesn't get investigated

out of all the lies we heard this week, this unone a whopper >> so number one wisconsin did not votets ten joe biden electors. number two, wisconsin did not actual v any vote on such a proposal and number three, this is impossible anyway. you cannot withdraw your 2020 electors in 2022. where did this come from? like a lot of nonsense, it started on a far right conspiracy peddling website called gateway pundit. it came out with an article claiming that it had huge breaking news that wisconsin had voted to withdraw its ten electors. this was completely false as i said. but it was completely repeated by a bunch of republican figures with big followings on social media and they include a trump-endorsed governor candidate in arizona who just repeated it word for word. soon after that, the gateway pundit revised its headlines, softened its headline to claim wisconsin had voted to advance, to move forward with a proposal to withdraw the electors. it claimed it was a unanimous vote. they claimed they had video of this. that is completely false, too. here is what actually happened. there was

nbc's shaquille brewster is at the state capitol in wisconsin.xpecting when the court's gavel falls in just a few minutes? >> we're expecting hours and hours of arguments inside the room behind me. i've seen some people going in and watched some of the parties enter and i saw lots of maps, lots of big cardboard cutouts of the maps. that's what the court will be hearing as they determine how they want to redraw wisconsin maps. we know every ten years, after a u.s. census, the states are responsible for redrawing those legislative and congressional maps. well, in wisconsin, that's a responsibility that falls to the republican legislature, with approval by the democratic governor. if you follow wisconsin at all, you know that those two parties do not agree on much of anything. so now this is a responsibility that has fallen to the courts. normally, it's a federal court that will take control and take responsibility of redrawing the maps, but this time, the conservative supreme court here in wisconsin say they want to take control of drawing the maps

one state i'd like to add to steve's list is wisconsin.a super majority could be obtained in their state legislature by republicans. it's not sexy. it's not going to get the big money, but right now the house and the senate, the state senate of wisconsin is controlled by republicans. they are just a few seats away from being able to override the governor's veto. in this case, we can look at absentee ballot restrictions, whichever did, in fact, veto did become law, and republicans could get a super majority and that comes from the local base. that's where these culture wars and that's where you see the school board races and local amger come from the base and it comes from the heart of the heart of it and that's at the local level. >> wisconsin is where infamously republicans in 2018 won a minority of the vote and a big majority of the seats. that's american democracy in the 21st century. steve, let me ask you the big question, the biggest of all questions. if the republicans take the house as the polls suggest they will, will a republican

in wisconsin today, a big lie purveyor ron johnson announced he is running for reelection for his u.s. senate seat. oh joy. thin there is his republican colleague josh hawley. remember him? hawley has escaped any real consequences for trying to overturn the electoral college vote and supporting the insurrectionists, despite the blatant fist bump. i mean even his brother in arms ted cruz admitted that what happened on january 6 was domestic terrorism. until that is, tucker carlson on fox bullied him into back down live on air. >> it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the capitol. where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this capitol. >> you called this a terror attack when by no definition was it a terror attack.
