amplifying the big lie and praising arizona republicans despite what arizona senate president and leader of the effort karen van publicly says. >> this is not about trump. this is not about overturning the election. this has never been about anything other than election integrity. >> reporter: her e-mails tell another story. obtained by watchdog group american oversight last month. van writes in a december e-mail she spoke with mayor giuliani at least six times in two weeks and mentions a private two hour meeting with giuliani and the trump legal team. in november van writes she asked the trump legal team to please file a lawsuit to halt vote certification in the state. she tells another voter last december about a personal call from president trump thanking us for pushing to prove any fraud. but van wasn't the only elected official who received calls from the trump orbit. maricopa supervisor bill gates got a voice mail 2020 from then trump lawyer rudy giuliani. >> i have a few things i'd like to talk. maybe we can get this thing fixed up. >> reporter: do you believe this entire thing wa

particularly, the arizona one. i mean, that have been just so readily debunked, including by the republican-election officials in maricopa county. >> right. >> so, you know, it is a con. it is a scam. and -- and people are involved in fantasy fulfillment for donald trump. >> and it goes on. i mean, now, maggie, he's going to -- to arizona to go onstage. to have all the politicians who are going to be running are going to be on the stage with him or dying to -- to get a photo with him. and there will be, i'm sure, more e-mails going out about sending money to him to continue fighting for what they are calling is election integrity. even though that's a ruse. >> it's interesting, anderson. you know, he -- he was talking -- some reporting that he was talking to an adviser a couple of weeks ago and he was trying to push this person to say, you know, that -- that this idea that he could be reip st reinstated in august is real, which it isn't, to be clear. squ and he was trying to push this person to say this arizona eff

arizona is turning into a politically-purple state. and they are concerned. >>> strong values and strong opinions. >> there is not one bit of proof of any of this. >> reporter: he is the go to for conservative talk on arizona radio. but on these so-called audit? >> i understand that i'm an outlier with my own people when i question what people are going to think about this audit. >> reporter: mike, lifelong republican. trump? >> yeah. >> you voted for him? >> twice. twice, i voted for him. >> reporter: but trump lost and broomhead thinks a so-called audit is a waste of time. instead, he thinks the focus should be on winning republican seats in 2022. >> if they win enough seats in the house, they take over the majority in the house. >> reporter: but some of his listeners, his base, now call him everything from a turncoat to a rino to a liberal. >> when you throw people out that disagree with you, it's hard to get them back when you need them to vote. and that scares me. >> reporter: politically, what is at stake here for republicans? >>

think about the fraudit in arizona, okay? the cyber ninja who has this outfit has no business doing anything like this. they never have before and the guy at the head of it is a known mall factor when it comes to conspiracies. they throw out a number. 74,000 questionable mail-in ballots. out no the ether. what about that number? it's garbage. the number alone though is enough to get trumpers riled up. so what's the truth? where does 74,000 come from? it comes from comparing two lists. one for ballots requested and one for ballots submitted. so what's the discrepancy? where is the 74,000? 74,000 people voted early over a weekend, but their ballot submissions were not updated in the count until monday when the clerks returned to work. is that really it? yes. who says so. the republicans in arizona say so. you know, your people, if you're in that party. so that's the truth. but it doesn't matter. why? because the misinformation is intoxicating because it fuels what people want to be true. there is a problem. and that's why they

this rally is to support the lie that trump won arizona and the 2020 election. but it's also about this. >> no one should be forced to take a vaccine against their will. >> far-right politics is king here. science, the villain. >> came from a laboratory, and dr. fauci should be in prison for what he did over the last year. >> 2022 arizona republican candidates feed off ignorance. >> mothers don't let them mask our children again. >> they're all here for the headliner. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 45th president of the united states of america, donald j. trump. >> how about the vaccine? i came up with the vaccine. i recommend you take it, but i also believe in your freedoms 100%. >> what do you think of that behavior? >> extremely dangerous. and maybe it's not politically correct to say, it's stupid. dangerous and stupid. >> dr. actaur is an emergency room physician in phoenix and has been on the front lines of the covid battle since it began. >> what do you anticipate is going to be the impact of this? >> of the rally? there's going to be an incre

from our very brief history together, arizona senate president karen fann isn't really somebody who likes to talk to the press but she actually did today and it came after this extremely bizarre senate hearing. that really just read like greatest hits of election conspiracies. and she doubled down on something she had told us, previously. that she believes this audit, this machine count that you're seeing behind me, that's going weeks long now. that it is the starting point for a national movement. here's what she said. >> this is the start of a whole-new industry, probably. much less, a process in the future, where voters are gonna start asking questions. that's it. if you cannot be respectful and do it one at a time, then i'll call it. >> now, that was her getting up and leaving when reporters, like me, we just started asking her questions. presenting her with facts. and she took off. now, republicans were looking to 2022 are watching all of this

precisely, along the same lines that -- as the sham so-called audit now taking place in arizona. in fact, state senator doug mastriano was one of a group of local republican officials, who went to phoenix to see for themselves what was going on. last week, gary tuchman caught up with him flanked by some of his supporters to ask why he thinks last year's election count was wrong. >> all i want to know is what happened? >> let me ask you this, though. one thing you didn't mention. you know dozens of courts and judges around the country have ruled against trump's voting claims and a lot of them are trump appointed judges. do you really think the people are above the courts? this is the country of laws. >> all i want is a full -- and you know what? if there's nothing, if -- let the cards and chips fall where they may. if -- if the results were -- that's right -- if they were -- if they were as good as governor wolf and josh shapiro says they were, fantastic. and then, the people in the state will say, i have faith and it was -- if -- if -- i hope not but if the results show that ther

them, play this hypothetical out, and then provided it to a third party like what they're doing in arizona, the taxpayers in those counties would then be on the hook for millions and millions of dollars to replace all that equipment, because it ultimately would be compromised. so the taxpayers would not only pay for it with their dollars to buy new machines, but they would also pay for it because their personal security, their personal information, would be compromised by this sham audit. >> do you think this senator, state senator, actually believes what he's saying, or is this just cynical and dishonest -- as cynical and dishonest and potentially dangerous as it seems? >> look, i get asked that all the time. you would have to ask that state senator what he really believes. but i get asked generally, do these republicans really believe this stuff? anderson, that's what folks ask me. i think they do. i mean, this is the modern day republican party. this is who they are. they have bought into the big lie and sadly, they keep selling it to the good people of pennsylvania. they keep telling t

a key focal point is that so-called audit in arizona that we have been following closely. it was supposed to finish already, so we thought. what is the latest chapter in all of this with this so-called audit? >> it's a bizarre chapter. we have been following and watching on the floor. it's a hand count. they were looking at each ballot. that part allegedly is done. you can look at this now as the sequel you didn't want. what we saw -- let me catch you up to date. if you look at this picture. we saw the ballots being boxed up, moved out of the coliseum, brought across the arizona state fairgrounds on these trucks and delivered to a storage facility. look at this next video clip. this is from about a week ago. this facility looked like you would expect, storage. the ballots are boxed up. there's nothing happening. it looks like a ring camera. suddenly, there was activity. this morning, if you look at this next video clip, suddenly there were two counters, paper counters that were delivered. with are now told it's not a hand count. it's a machine count. these machines are goi

. >> arizona's democratic senator kyrsten sinema said today she does not support the other infrastructure bill. how much does that complicate things? >> well, it certainly had a lot of people up here nervous on the democratic side of things when day saw sinema come out and make such a bold statement, particularly on such an important day. and it could complicate things. now, sinema did make it clear that she is going to vote for the budget resolution, which is the framework to begin the negotiations around that budget package. but that, she's uncomfortable with that price tag of $3.5 trillion. and those house progressives that we talked about, before, reacted strongly to sinema making that statement. saying that they are much more concerned about that reconciliation package and, perhaps, they won't vote for the bipartisan deal, as a result. but everybody up here believes that this is just part of the long-term negotiating process. that this is kyrsten sinema and joe manchin just finding a way to get what they want in this package. and ultimately, when push comes to shove, they will vote f

. >> the supreme court, as you know, just recently upheld an arizona voting law that restricts how ballots can be cast. obviously republicans have taken that as an encouraging sign. they control 30 state legislatures across the country, democrats control 18. how do you go state by state and stop voting restrictions from being passed into law with the political reality that you pointed out, which is you have to get rid of the filibuster in order to get movement and anything passed through the senate and that seems right now impossible? >> well, i don't know that it is impossible. it is something that many of us are working on. i think we're going to do everything that we can politically to rally the american people, ever everything we can do legally and in the united states senate everything we can to put pressure on our colleagues to finally stand up and say on this issue at least, i would go further, on this issue at least majority should rule. 50 votes plus the vice president says that we're going to pass a voting rights legislation and end this outrageous republican attack on voting rig

apparently he was trying to do the same thing in arizona. there's new evidence surfacing tonight of more reported behind the scenes efforts by trump and his allies to pressure state election officials to help him retain the presidency. this was all back in the weeks after the 2020 election. you remember this in georgia? >> i just want to find
