and rudolph giuliani knows that. he knows that the statement he made in writing today, in this document, in this civil lawsuit, can and will be used by special prosecutor jack smith and eternity fani willis, as the equivalent of a confession to the crimes that he committed in georgia. but both of those prosecutors might already have rudolph giuliani's confession in testimony to the grand jury interest georgia. it's possible rid of giuliani gave up the lie as soon as he was put under oath by fani willis and in fulton county special grand jury. donald trump wrote something this morning with a classic trumpian miss spelling about what he assumes will be the case of united states versus donald j trump when jack smith's january six grand jury indites trump for his efforts to overturn the presidential election, using spelling that indicates he rode it himself. donald trump said, we'll have fun on the stand with all of these people that say the presidential election wasn't rigged and stolen, the trial of the century. one of

rudolph giuliani does not. the lawsuit says that route rudolph giuliani, quote, regularly drink all day and night. he was constantly consuming viagra, and he was constantly demanding sex from miss dunfee, who he was also representing as a lawyer in a lawsuit she was involved in before she went to work for giuliani. giuliani volunteered to represent her as alert for free was part of the reason that she went to work for him. what i'm about to read to you from the lawsuit against rudolph giuliani's much tamer then the most graphic lines in the lawsuit, but it is profoundly perverse. what passes through the mind of the man we all saw, ranting with hair dyed dripping down his sides of his face, it's much uglier. remember, as i read this, this scene alleged in the lawsuit is not happening in the office of the attorney general of the united states tonight because joe biden beat donald trump in the presidential election, and killed rudolph giuliani's dream of becoming attorney general or secretary of state another job

donald trump is the kind of person who has people like rudolph giuliani around him.he was the only president in history who would ever allow rudy giuliani into the white house to give him advice on anything important. donald trump used rudolph giuliani and a conspiracy to illegally overturn a presidential election. returning donald trump to the presidency means returning people like rudolph giuliani to the white house and people like michael flynn who donald trump said on saturday would return to the white house with him, after michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi and was been pardoned by donald trump -- we don't know what price if any michael flynn might have had to pay for that part or if giuliani was involved in selling that part. here's a sampling of the recorded statements, just the recorded statements that rudolph giuliani made that now up here as the basis for a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment sexual assault, denial of wages and other severe abuses of noËl dunfee. page 12, he was later recorded telling boston free i wanted you from the day i int

>> rudolph giuliani wants to be secretary of state and rudolph giuliani thinks he is better than theer choices. yes. someone asked. >> is there anybody better? >> maybe me. i don't know. >> he is direct. he is an unabashed supporter of donald trump and not afraid to repeat and even double down on the kind of rhetoric that left no doubt where the president-elect stands on the issues. >> islamist extremist terrorists. you know who you are! and we're coming to get you. >> giuliani's temperament for the job is coming into question. but so are his many business ties across the globe. though not a direct comparison, because rudolph giuliani was a private citizen. they are the same kinds of ties that rudolph giuliani found problematic when he labeled the clinton foundation and secretary of state hillary clinton as engaging in a pay to play scheme run out of the department of state. >> the clinton foundation to me is a racketeering enterprise. >> turning the state department into a pay or the play operation. >> he rose to national prom negligence on september 11, 2001. he became known as ame

part of a probe targeting associates of rudolph giuliani.kraine lieutenants and linking him to serious potential charges. there's terrific reporting on this. new reporting tonight. what are you learning about this grand jury subpoena? >> we learned that the subpoena tells us two things about this investigation so far. it tells us that it is quite broad and that they are exploring a range of potential criminal charges. all we know to date, before the subpoena, was that they returned to campaign finance violations. now we know they are considering wire fraud, obstruction of justice, lying to investigators. there's a lot that we don't know. this does show us that there is a very broad investigation and it could include a range of criminal conduct. >> and where does rudy giuliani fit into that? >> it's interesting. this subpoena is requesting from the person that received it any communications. but it is also asking for any communications with rudolph giuliani, his security consulting business giuliani partners, and it asks for any communication

and, after signing that, rudolph giuliani said this. >> i talked to the president today.nce in him. >> amy lee copeland, isn't rudolph giuliani taunting the judge in this case with comments like that? >> he's playing with fire. it's a bit of a surprise. i think most attorneys that i know, and i'm one of them, nothing but scared attorneys. we have a healthy fear in respective judges. that may not have been the wisest thing for him to say. >> barb mcquade, i haven't done full research on this, on what must be the hundred and 50 or more u.s. attorneys in american history. but i'm not aware of u.s. attorney, former u.s. attorney ever having been indicted. not aware of u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, ever having been indicted. you have this job yourself. reflecting on what this means, what this means that it could come to this for a former u.s. attorney. >> it is quite a fall from grace to be charged. he is presumed innocent but i find it ironic that rudolph giuliani finds himself a defendant in a rico case. remember, it was giuliani who made a name for hi

he knew she's woods inmately. >> reporter: rudolph was spotted in july 1998.home of an owner of a health food store trying to buy food. the owner recognized him and refused. but when the owner returned two days later, he found that 75 pounds of food and his truck were missing. on the table, five $100 bills. rudolph killed and ate turkeys, deer bears, salamanders and corn from a giant cornfield. to stay warm during bitter cold winters, he would break into cabins and bundle himself up in piles of leaves. >> eric rudolph was living off the grid before he actually had to go off the grid. it was as if he had been preparing for this. >> reporter: despite years of searching for rudolph deep in the woods, he was finally arrested dumpster diving in the back of a grocery store looking for fruits and vegetables to freeze for the winter. >> it was luck. they had given up the hunt. they had given up the chase and he fell into their laps. >> reporter: after his arrest rudolph described his chase with police as a long camping trip that of the laedsted five years. the authori

they are probably not as well positioned as rudolph was. they don't have pre-planned sites, food they had already stocked. they don't know the area like rudolph knew that area. >> if you don't know if you don't have experience in the forest how difficult is it to survive for weeks and weeks and weeks? >> you're not. if you don't have the skills and have the relationship of knowing how to make a proper shelter insulated, with or without a fire, they're exhausted. they're dehigh drated. you have to fitter water. if you don't know your edibles, you have to skirt in an around these urban environments and utilize the things that you know you can get. >> if you don't have pre-positioned supplies you have to spend an awful lot of time just on the basics not just escaping but on the basis of finding food and water. >> right. without those cardinal four. in the world of survival, there's always four steps. there's a difference here of a survival situation or of a disaster zone. something along that line where i want to be found. i want to take the t

rudolph giuliani has a 34 -year-old daughter who does not speak to him. there is nothing about having a daughter of his own that has apparently civilized rudolph giuliani in the presence of other people's daughters. we knew from her january 6th committee testimony that cassidy hutchinson spent january 6th fighting against the madness of donald trump and rudolph giuliani and john eastman, and trying and failing to get her boss, white house chief of staff mark meadows, to do the right thing. now we know cassidy hutchison and was fighting much more than their ideas and what they were saying. next week on the rachel maddow show and on this program, we will hear more details from cassidy hutchinson about the fight for america's future that she found herself in the middle of on january 6th. today, georgia's fulton county district attorney fani willis filed a 103 page brief notifying judge scott mcafee that several of the criminal defense attorneys in the case of georgia versus trump and codefendants now have apparent conflicts of interest because those lawyers,

rudolph: that is a tremendous question. it is one where i would admit gap we have not closed the in the way we need to over the last couple of years. you will see some guidance from omb that speaks to this issue. it has already been out for public comment. i can talk about it to a certain improvingt it is protections in federal acquisitions. we will talk about that partnership between industry and government in terms of what we can share and what we can't. i think the controlled unclassified information rule will help a lot. level, i think it comes down to trust and relationships between industry and government, having a pre-existing working relationship could help with that trust, but having the policy framework in place to trust is thehat big missing piece of the puzzle. i hope we can fix it in the very near future. sir? the i.t.lked about modernization. you might comment on that versus the other legislation that is out, move i.t., that was introduced a couple of weeks ago, and where maybe your viewpoint is on that, your

it is really hard to decipher rudolph giuliani's comments. i think maybe what he is referring to is people like george papadopoulos who was offered dirt by the russians in the form of thousands of e-mails stolen from clinton's inbox. paul manafort was the campaign chairman for roughly four months at the most pivotal moment. he is directly at the center of it. he was the highest ranking member of that campaign with the closest ties to russia. and it is important to remember that he was heavily in debt by the time he came on as chairman and he offered to do it for free. he offered campaign access to a russian old garg in exchange for debt relief. these are all things that won't be addressed in the upcoming trial due to begin tomorrow with jury selection because it will focus mostly on his tax and bank fraud crimes. there will be a reckoning and will it be in his d.c. trial which will focus on his efforts as an unregistered foreign agent. >> it is especially notable in a campaign as thenally staffed as the trump campaign. we know that from the r

>> rudolph was a very different case. it didn't involve a mail bomb, rather, rudolph planted physically and personally planted a bomb outside of the all-women abortion clinic in january of 1998 in birmingham. so he was actually seen by an eyewitness who observed him leaving the scene. that helped with his identification. but the agents who looked at the bomb, both physically, the components that were used to build the bomb, but also some decorative leaves on top of the bomb and some of the other housing for it, and they were able to track those components, identify rudolph as the person who purchased them. it was a pretty immaculate process that they pursued for linking rudolph to the bomb components. >> being able to track the components, the store where they were sold and the fact that he was the person that bought them. part of the reason i wanted to talk about this story, about walter moody tonight is because it seems instructive to me and helpful in terms of historical context here, in terms of everybody sort of jump

rudolph giuliani is 79 years old. he is contemplating the possibility, tonight, of spending the final years of his life in prison in georgia, outside of the reach of a presidential pardon from the next republican president in united states. litman, and his legal column in the los angeles times calls this indictment the most far reaching and portentous response to trump's assault on democracy. special prosecutor jack smith is indicted on trump individually for much of the same conduct, described in the georgia indictment as a criminal enterprise. donald trump's last white house chief of staff, mark meadows, does not appear in jack smith's indictment. mark meadows is the fourth listed defendant and the george indictment. mark meadows is the first defended in the case to legally respond to the indictment by today filing a request in federal court to move the georgia case out of the fulton county courthouse to the jurisdiction of a federal judge. the federal judge who will consider that request is steve c. jones, appointe

is now considering how much money they will force rudolph giuliani to pay the farmer of fulton countyction workers, ruby freeman and shaye moss -- for the lies giuliani told about them. whatever the jury may have been no considering went up, when plaintiffs were able to show the jury now this video of giuliani committing defamation against the two women once again last night outside the courthouse. >> whatever happened to them, which is unfortunate for other people overreacting, but everything i said is true. >> do you regret what you did to ruby freeman? >> of course i don't regret it! i told the truth. >> what a sick, sick. man. rudolph giuliani zone lawyer has already said in court yesterday that ruby freeman and shaye moss are, quote, good people. that's his phrase. federal judge beryl howell questioned giuliani's lawyer today about how giuliani could have stood outside the courthouse last night and committed exactly the same offense against ruby freeman and shaye moss that has him facing a damages judgment now. the new york times reports, mr. sibley the lawyer also suggested that

rudolph went on the run, rudolph had a plan to escape he had cashed supplies of course when he went tohey had gotten wet and didn't do him any good. he stayed away from his social network i think you made an important point earlier. family friends acquaintances, as well as the use of technology the potential tracking of cellular telephones those are things that investigators are going to key in on if they can determine the number of phones these gentlemen have with them that can be a key to their capture, these are two completely different situations rudolph and these escapees. >> thank you, stand by. stay with us i wab the to talk about it. 30 years in law enforcement, to you, matthew, when you look at this what are the concerns that tom brought up this focus has been so far away from the manhunt, how do you get the manpower you need down there to secure this perimeter? >> we're working into nightfall right now, that's going to be one challenge. it's already difficult enough during great conditions at night it's going to be difficult. i think we should remember one thing here. there's

then again here with rudolph giuliani. he was very careful in basically not criticizing the president. going out of his way not to do that. but trying to clarify his remarks. the fact is it did seem as if mitt romney's remarks evolved over a few weeks in 2007. you had what we had, what he told, what he said in iowa. ill-time and ill-conceived. then when rudolph giuliani basically sided with president obama saying i would not act alone. then you hear mitt romney sort of evolving in that and i think that's what he was hanging his hat on today. but i think it should be noted, i think you sort of see a turn in the romney campaign realizing, let's try not to have this debate today. because after yesterday and the jimmy carter line, i think they realized that probably wasn't the best political strategy. >> let me play what you referenced, romney's interview this morning. i'll get you in here as well. this morning on cbs with his wife. let's play it. >> i think them taking credit for the right decision is entirely appropriate. i

special agent in charged with the eric rudolph the bomber in georgia. thank you for joining us.t strikes me he was a hardened killer a cop killer would said if a police officer ever confronted him he would "blow them away." he was convicted of killing one police officer a sheriff deputies in broome county in 2002 shooting him when he confronted him after a robbery and driving offer his body with his honey da. what do you think happened? how did it go down? was he armed? kudos to law enforcement authorities and sergeant jay cook forgetting this guy and bringing him in. >> it is an outstanding operation no civilians were hurt and no law enforcement officers were hurt. this type of operation obviously is resource intensive. all these different police agencies have primary missions and day-to-day protecting their communities and everything they normally need to do. now you are doing or fulfilling that responsibility in addition to the contrails of resources to identify the to men. the subject have demonstrated history of violence and being sociopathic. these officers had to operate

and that was rudolph. and i learned so much from that man in such a short period. and i was very sorry that we didn't work more because it was really marvelous. i did songs with him and i learned so much about singing and portraying deep thoughts within a song. and allowing the audience to feel that and not to get caught up in the emotion of one self. and that was something that was important to learn very early and i wish we sort of had the chance to go on. >> rose: is there a film based on you in paris, what's it called diva. >> it's called diva, starring willhemia hernandez. >> rose: did they talk to you about that film. >> they did talk to me to be accurate about the young man portrayed there who did exist. his name was alar and he really did work for the post office delivering telegrams. remember telegrams.

that's in the atlanta metro area chlt eric rudolph is remembered for bombing the atlantic olympics in 1996. his bomb injured several people and killed one person. but after eric rudolph bombed the olympics and went on the run, that same guy bombed a gay bar in atlanta injuring five people and bombed an abortion clinic in birmingham, alabama, that killed a police officer and severely wounded the clinic's head nurse. but when he bombed that abortion clinic sandy springs, georgia, the first bomb went off at 9:30 in the morning. it ripped out part of a wall at the clinic. it destroyed the clinic but did not injury anyone. an hour later, the second bomb went off in a trash can just outside the building. this double bombing was designed to give responders enough time to arrive on the scene and figure out what the first bomb was about and the second bomb exploded then to try to kill the emergency responders. six people were hurt by the second blast including a federal atf at. eyewitnesss said it was a miracle that the second blast did not kill anyone. that was the bombing of the women's clin

these books have gotten complaints. >> sreenivasan: so what's the problem with a book about wilma rudolphat is objectionable to parents or whoever doesn't think that it should be in a classroom? >> so that complaint came out of texas, a suburb of dallas, and the concern was just that the book mentioned the racism that rudolph endured in tennessee during the 1940s. so many of these laws say that, you know, any references that could make students feel uncomfortable, especially white students, feel uncomfortable in some way about racism or about the history they' being taught, that parents can complain about that. and that's what we're seeing, parents saying they're uncomfortable with references to racism. >> sreenivasan: so is there pressure now on school superintendents and even down to the principal level that there are potentially parents that could say, "hey, i don't want my kid learning this book during this month or ever"? >> yes, we do know we know some principals that have already been forced to resign in texas. last fall, a principal was forced to resign and critical race theory wa
