00:00For some Americans, it's not enough to just sit and watch the news.

00:04They take action in meaningful ways.

00:06One America's Chanel Rian found two such examples in Arizona

00:09during Monday's election integrity fact-finding session.

00:12Take a look.

00:13One of the Trump legal team's major obstacles in their fight for election integrity

00:17has been one of simply being allowed to present their evidence.

00:21Monday, when nine Arizona lawmakers offered to hold a fact-finding session

00:24to listen to Rudy Giuliani's evidence and witnesses,

00:27it was not an officially sanctioned event.

00:30It was made possible by donors and private citizens.

00:34Historic, emotional, and outrageous, citizens and lawmakers alike

00:37walked away shocked at the levels of corruption taking place in their state.

00:42The 10-hour event took place inside the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix,

00:45and One America News caught up with the event's organizer, John Yepp.

00:49We're here with the state director of Catholic Vote for Arizona,

00:52and you have a very special role in this room.

00:57This is not funded by the Trump legal team.

01:00This event was not funded by the state legislature.

01:03This was organized by you, a private citizen.

01:05Tell us how that happened.

01:06Just about a week ago that I was talking to Mark Feensham,

01:10who's the state rep and who's been behind this,

01:13and he had this idea, you know, wanted to do something public, official,

01:17but couldn't get anyone to listen to him.

01:19So what he did is he just started making calls, and he had this commitment.

01:24Well, if they're not going to have a public one, then I'll just do a private one.

01:28And I crossed paths and said, hey, Mark, you know, I'm John Yepp.

01:31I was the state director for Catholic Vote.

01:33I got some free time now, you know, election's not over yet.

01:36What do you need help with?

01:37He said, well, some funding, and how about you just do the registration?

01:41So I just, you know, did the Eventbrite page, little tiny Eventbrite page.

01:46Three days later, the page had 96,000 views on it, and Mayor Giuliani tweeted it out.

01:52I mean, and the volunteer team that I had helping me with registration, we're just ordinary people.

01:57Outside the conference was a large crowd of Arizonans supporting the lawmakers brave enough

02:03to hold the event for the Trump legal team inside.

02:06One of the organizers of grassroots movement Stop the Steal, Ali Alexander,

02:11helped to ensure local citizens showed their support to the lawmakers inside.

02:15We had 1,500 to 2,000 people outside supporting these folks and just saying,

02:20hey, we're Arizonans, we're the people who donate to your campaigns, we door knock, we phone bank,

02:25we'll primary anybody who doesn't want this issue to actually be resolved in the open.

02:30Public support campaigns have proven particularly effective,

02:33considering many of the lawmakers who have decided to hear the evidence from the president's team

02:38on election fraud have received death threats from Biden supporters for doing so.

02:42Knowing they have the support of the people,

02:45knowing they have the support of the people,
