but the lesson here is rudy giuliani was never pro police. he was pro rudy giuliani. a trump supremacist. and with both of them they talk about the cops and they like this and this. when it gets down to it you had you will these police officers savagely assaulted and they act like it didn't happen. what that means is that neither one of them was ever actually pro police. neither one of them was actually in support of law and order. which means it was always just about themselves. surprise surprise. >> i think that's so true. and rev, you know donald trump and rudy giuliani very well. that seems just absolutely inalterably true. they were on the side of police when it was vep. they really don't care about them or anybody else, right? >> it's only about them. it's only about them. and i think that what people need to understand around the nation that watch you is that the dorsmand case, the louima case as well as the case of diallo, they were not in the middle of a violent situation, let alone an insurrection. they were people that were shot and killed unarmed when ther

one of those was obviously rudy giuliani, longtime associate of the president, how did rudy giulianib postelection in the white house? >> i think a lot of the people around the president, for one thing, they were always trying to get him out so that was one of the priorities the terms white house or the people who flip the president was to keep him out. they didn't trust him because, for a full array of regions was among them. his incredible disorganization, the fact that he would say almost anything the president wanted to hear. essentially is desperation to do anything to be back in the spotlight and many people blamed rudy giuliani for most of the terrible things including the first impeachment of the president that happened in the trump administration so there was a real card, card posted to keep rudy out but a combination of factors mostly having to do with the fact that the president is always looking for someone to say what he wants to hear and at the end of the day after it had become clear to everyone around the president that he's lost the election, this was clear by the el

new tonight rudy giuliani law license is suspended in washington d.c. after the president former personal lawyer saw his license suspended in new york. for pushing the big lie of election fraud. >> the only submitted 8,021 ballots from dead people. mail in ballots for dead people. easier for dead people to submit mail in ballots than vote in person. we cannot allow crooks to steal an election from the american people. >> let's have trial by combat. >> the appeals court saying the man once known as america's mayor would be suspended from working as an attorney in the city. pending the out come of the situation in new york. we have much more on that. and it comes as on capitol hill, kevin mccarthy doing everything is deciding to put republicans on the committee. almost certainly to include some trump allies. meanwhile a new book quotes the then president of the united states praising hitler. while on a trip to paris to commemorate the end of world war i. the inside story of how trump lost by the "wall street journal." trump reportedly told then white hous

host: what is the relationship between rudy giuliani and donald trump today? guest: they don't speak. rudy is not even allowed to call the president. this has happened multiple times over the last four years. rudy is allowed in, makes a mess, and then it is pushed back out. also, rudy wants money from the president. so no matter who you are, how loyal you have been, how much -- the president might be -- once you start saying that he pay you, then his mood changes. host: let's go to jim, mulberry tennessee, independent line. jim in tennessee, go ahead. caller: yes, i would like to say that i agree with mr. wolff, and i have a comment. i would like to say that donald trump started out his presidency saying that mexico would pay for the wall, and he was wrong about that. so then he said he was going to just tax mexican products, and he was wrong about that. so he switched to health care and said he would repeal and replace obamacare. and he was wrong, and wrong about that. then he said he would found -- that he would possibly pay it off -- seriously wrong again. h

oh right, rudy giuliani. [ laughter ] so who knows maybe cohen's wrong and rudy will end up fine likeut i just can't imagine the feds raiding rudy giuliani's home and office and finding nothing incriminating. i mean, forget ukraine and quid pro quos, he's probably got a fridge full of white fish he stole from zabar's or a sink full of unpaid parking tickets he tried to stuff into the garbage disposal, only to remember he doesn't have one he's probably breaking all kinds of co-op board rules, too, especially with that welcome mat. and you know he probably has neighbors that are happy to rat on him, maybe a guy who, and i'm just spitballing here, is in a bath robe and a yankee's hat, he's eating a bagel.

have a great evening. >> rudy giuliani reached tout multiple election supervisors. >> rudy giuliani,esolve this that comes out well for everybody. we all have the same goal. let's see if we can get it done outside of the court. >> we are all republicans, let's see if we can get it done. that's not how democracy is supposed to work. >> joining me now is the official calling for the new investigation, katie hobbs, arizona's secretary of state and candidate for governor. thank you so much secretary hobbs, what inspired you to call for this investigation? it would have to be taken care of by the state's general, what person is a republican, correct? >> yes, he's a republican that took the same oath i did in the state of arizona. what we have seen here appears to be clear leviulating laws and clearly calling for interference into the election and warrants furtherinvestigation. regardless of anyone's party that's involved in this. >> i want to play you some sound that we have of the arizona republican party chair also talking about what's going on here in the state and get your thoughts on

rudy giuliani never would allege in federal court widespread voter fraud. all these judges -- trump appointed judges laughed these people out of court in a minute. and still that conspiracy theory still holds. here's another example, is it not, of all the institutions that may have buckled under donald trump, our federal court system remains strong. >> yeah. you know, thank heavens for the federal court system because it did remain strong throughout this entire disgraceful process. like you, i'm surprised that this hearing didn't happen in march or april as opposed to in july. but it's really important. it's important because federal courts are not -- are not to be trifled with with just out and out lies. with rumor and comment section nonsense. the way that rudy giuliani and lynn wood and sidney powell did, and they are officers of the court. they are -- they have a responsibility and a duty not to do what they did. and i just hope that they face the most severe punishment possible, because it's -- it's just important for the nation to see this. to underst

cole did most of the talking for the lawyers and like rudy giuliani before him, he lied. >> this suitut freedom of speech. we're going to prove that they are government actors. therefore, the first amendment does apply. >> everything you just heard him say is a lie. social media companies are not government actors. this is not about freedom of speech. it is not about the first amendment. the question for attorney john coale is how much more lying is he willing to do for donald trump? the same officials who took away rudy giuliani's license to practice law in washington today have authority over john p. coale's license to practice law, and they have learned to watch trump lawyers very closely. minutes after that press conference, donald trump immediately sent out a plea to his followers to send him money to help pay his new lawyers. joining us now, tim o'brien for bloomberg opinion, the author of the book trump nation. and you were sued by donald trump back when you were a "new york times" reporter. and to put it, the quick end of the story is you won that lawsuit. it was a huge mistak

. >> rudy giuliani also left a voicemail for hickman. then on the night of january 3rd, the day trump's call with georgia's secretary of state was published, the man in charge of the maricopa county election got this voice mail. >> hello, sir. this is the white house operator. i was calling to let you know that the president's available to take your call if you're free. if you could please give us a call back, sir, that would be great. you have a good evening. >> trump has never stopped that pressure campaign. it was a multi-pronged effort that included pressuring elected officials, storming the capitol, and now passing restrictive

we've reached out to rudy giuliani for comment and are still waiting. we just heard from former president trump's team, quote, it's no surprise that maricopa county election officials had no desire to look into significant irregularities during the election. they've refused to be open and honest about the presidential election, stonewalling a forensic audit for months, hiding voting equipment from voters to this day. what do they have to hide? reaction to this, democrat katie hobbs, who is running for governor. welcome to "prime time." does any of this surprise you? >> no, it's not surprising. it's just -- it's so maddening. we knew this was happening in georgia. we suspected there were some attempts to undermine the election here, and now we have it clearly in tapes. and, you know, arizona law makes it clear that interfering in election is against the law, and that is exactly what this appears to be. >> do you hear interference in those giuliani voice mail messages? is there anything proper about doing that if he's representing the president and feels

many people blamed rudy giuliani for most of the terrible things including the impeachment of the president. so there was a real guard against guard posted to keep rudy out. after that had become clear to everyone around the president election was on tuesday, but friday it was clear to everyone. by the end of the day it was only rudy he was willing to say no mr. president you actually won the election. and they have just stolen it from you. that is how rudy largely ate drunken rudy came back into the white house for a. >> what is the relationship between rudy giuliani and donald trump today? >> they do not speak. rudy is not allowed to call the president. this has happened multiple times over the last four years. rudy is allowed in, makes a mess and is pushed back out. and also rudy once money from the president. and so no matter who you are, how loyal you have been, how much in your debt the president actually might be, once you start demanding he pay you then his mood changes. >> let's go to mulberry tennessee independent line. >> i would like to say yes. i would like to say i agree with

board supervisor, bill gates, got a voice mail on christmas day, 2020, from then-trump lawyer rudy giuliani. >> maybe, we can get this thing fixed up.

this is rudy giuliani essentially saying the exact same thing in arizona.ells me, victor, is this was part of a coordinated effort by donald trump and rudy giuliani to interfere with and overturn the election results in those two states and potentially elsewhere. these are crimes. let's be clear. it's a federal crime. it's a georgia crime, an arizona crime to try to convince an official to count votes that were not actually cast or not to count votes that were actually cast. this is serious stuff. we know the d.a. in georgia is investigating, and now we have to see whether the authorities, the prosecutors in arizona do the same thing. i think they ought to. >> the more we -- the more evidence that comes out and the more we hear about this pressure campaign to overturn donald trump's election loss, you realize the intestinal fortitude and steel spine it took for these local election officials to not return the call of the president of the united states or his attorney. and by the way, now, as we know, there are all of these laws in all of these various state

they took rudy giuliani down to a room off the map room to hear him out. l, votes were still being counted. giuliani told them, just say we won, same thing in pennsylvania. so the big lie we thought was coming from the president, but maybe a boozie giuliani started it on election night? >> yes, and by telling donald trump things that he is inclined to hear, but it is directly related to what we talked about in the first subject, which is if you are just going to say "we won," it doesn't matter what the reason is or what the justification is, you are starting from the conclusion and you are going to make up stuff afterwards. so they -- you know, there had been speculation before the election that trump was going to declare victory based on early counts and try to make it look as if later arriving votes were fraudulent. that's a version of what he did, but it started as you indicated in that segment with rudy giuliani, just saying "just say it, doesn't matter." >> john harwood, thank you very much for all of that. sorry to interrupt. >>> we do want to go now

many people blamed rudy giuliani for most of the terrible things including the impeachment of the president there was a real guard against guard posted to keep rudy out. after that had become clear to everyone around the president election was on tuesday, but friday it was clear to everyone. by the end of the day it was only rudy he was willing to say no mr. president you actually won the election. and they have just stolen it from you. that is how rudy largely ate drunken rudy came back into the white house for a. >> what is the relationship between rudy giuliani and donald trump today? >> they do not speak. rudy is not allowed to call the president. this has happened multiple times over the last four years. rudy is allowed in, makes a mess and is pushed back out. and also rudy once money from the president. and so no matter who you are, how loyal you have been, how much in your debt the president actually might be, once you start demanding he pay you then his mood changes. >> let's go to mulberry tennessee independent line. >> i would like to say yes. i would like to say i agree with mr.

this is a phone call from trump's attorney rudy giuliani to an election supervisor in maricopa countyto play that for you and get your sense legally what this shows. >> you're with rudy giuliani, mr. trump's lawyer. if you get a chance, i would like to get you called. maybe we could get this thing fixed up. it is a shame that republicans sort of are involved in this kind of situation and i think that there may be a nice way to resolve this for everybody. >> situation being trump losing that state. based on the account and since audited account and that kind of thing. legally, i mean one are there any circumstance where's the personal lawyer of a candidate in election be calling a election official in the midst to say he has a solution. >> i think the key quote from rudy giuliani there is when he said let's see if there is a way we could get this thing fixed up. this is outrageous stuff, jim, and it is important that we keep focus on this because all of the focus has been on the indictment of trump organization. that is important. but that doesn't have anything to do with the political

disturbances under rudy giuliani because he was policy.uy who throws a rock, he goes to jail. that's what happened. second guy who throws a bottle, he goes to jail, too. what you think happens to the third guy? the answer is that think because there isn't a third guy and there's no riots because the first two are in jail. these are real people, real lives living in these cities descending. we randomly pulled an article by the name of crystal, gunned down by her boyfriend three months after giving birth. is anyone even asking? folks, every single life out there matters. this isn't a matter of partisan politics, this is a matter of real people with real lives being gunned down, mugged, burglarized in their own city in live time. people with family, this is not a statistic. what about the crime that gets police officers? 150 officers shot 28 officers killed by gunfire, 51 shot ambushed. i did an appearance once and i said to ainsley when she asked me about what was like to be a police officer and i said you know, one of the worst parts is you

i think the more they can dig into the evidence showing that trump and rudy giuliani and brooks, knewcome up and knew these people were looking for a fight. the more they can show that, the more they can show what they were doing were inciting this riot. i am totally convinced once they start to dig into phone records, they find out who these people are meeting with. if congressman brooks were meeting with the three percenters or the proud boys. your duty as a congressman is not trying to overthrow the congress and stop their regular business. that's not going to fly well with the jury and the district of columbia. >> yes, it is one of the dumber things i have heard and you know i do this for a living so i hear all kinds of stuff. the brooks defense is like someone accusing him of embezzling from his own bank and saying it is part of my duty. no, you are abdicating your duty. he's not defending congress but trying to overthrow it. there is now mounting pressure on different members of the administration after testifying the doj there. they don't deem a potential coup as what is privil

rudy giuliani has serious problems. he can't practice law.s that are very serious cases. it's hard to win libel cases, but these cases are really strong, as far as i can tell, so he may not just be looking at the loss of his law license, he may be looking at millions of dollars in damages from these lawsuits that have just been filed but will be going on for some time. >> they certainly will. jeffrey, thank you very much, laura, thank you as well. laura is filling in later tonight on "don lemon tonight" at 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. laura, we will be waupg. >>> coming up, just how dangerous is the delta variant now that it counts for more than half the covid cases in the united states. i'll talk to andy slevin. he's standing by live. ♪ ♪ ♪ you bring your best. we'll block the threats. ♪ cyberprotection for every one. malwarebytes that delicious scramble was microwaved? get outta here. everybody's a skeptic. wright brothers? more like, yeah right, brothers! get outta here! it's not crazy. it's a scramble. just crack an egg. up here,

quote, rudy giuliani started to cause a commotion. he was telling other guests that he had to come up with a strategy for trump, and was trying to get into the president's private quarters to tell him about it. some people thought giuliani may have been drinking too much and suggested to campaign manager bill stepien that he talk to the former mayor. stepien, white house chief of staff mark meadows senior adviser jason miller took giuliani to a room, asking stepien, meadows, what they were seeing and what's their plan. what's happening in michigan, they said it was too early to tell. votes were being counted. just say we won, giuliani told them. same thing in pennsylvania, just say we won pennsylvania, giuliani said. his grand plan was to just say trump won state after state, based on nothing. stepien, miller and meadows thought his argument was both incoherent and irresponsible. we can't do that, meadows said, raising his voice. we can't. the book then details how trump ordered his advisers to call top executives and hosts at fox new

i just saw on tv this morning how the trump lawyers are being lambasted in court and even rudy giuliani has lost his license to practice because they lied about the election. that they perpetrated the big lie in legal documents. the same thing is happening everywhere. what is happening to this republican party? what is happening when donald trump, the biggest liar we have ever had as president, sets the tone and they follow in those lies, repeat those lies, sometimes even embellish on those lies. what is happening to that party, the party of abraham lincoln? falsely claiming that the election was stolen, republican legislatures are making elections easier to overturn, even under the falsest and biggest of lies. and what happens here? our republican friends here in washington have chosen a path of supine compliance, refusing to stand up to the big lie, bowing down before it, bowing down before donald trump, the biggest liar that we have ever had as an american president, except when the capitol building is literally under siege. and by the way, just parenthetically, i commend to my colle

trump, rudy giuliani and others had said at the rally.y could be accused of sedition, a charge not leveled at a president in a century. also tonight, covid cases are climbing around the country. some officials are now bringing back mask mandates. miguel almaguer has the latest. >> reporter: tonight los angeles, the nation's largest county, taking a step back, requiring masks indoors, even for the vaccinated effective sunday. impacting 10 million people here and breaking with cdc guidance, it's a clear signal concern is growing over the highly contagious delta variant. meantime, for some of the 48 million children under 12 and their parents who were hoping to get them vaccinated this fall, a longer wait. the fda will now review several additional months of safety data, meaning a vaccine for kids won't likely be available until early next year. >> all schools should really have very strong contingency plans. what are the metrics by which we would go back to virtual learning, what will we do to keep children and staff safe? >> but important

rudy giuliani who's already been barred from practicing law in the state of new york and washington,ourts is not one of it lawyers who put his name on the michigan case and so is not subject to sanctions in this case. david fink knew how dangerous lying about the election was even before the january 6th attack on the capitol. david fink filed the request for sanctions against the lying trump lawyers one day before the attack on the capitol, the day before. and in that filing the day before the attack on the capitol, david fink wrote, "the extent of the factual and legal errors in this complaint would warrant sanctions under any circumstances. but here the court's processes are being perverted to undermine our democracy and upset the peaceful transition of power." and the very next day in washington rudy giuliani, the leader of trump's lying lawyers, told the trump mob on january 6th to go down to the capitol and, quote, have trial by combat. joining us now is michigan's secretary of state, jocelyn benson. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i have to say i watched that hearin

and the very next day in washington rudy giuliani, the leader of trump's lying lawyers told the trump go down to the capitol and, quote, have trial by combat. joining us now is michigan secretary of state, jocelyn benson. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i have to say, i watched that hearing. it was on zoom available for all of us to see, with other fascination that the details of what these lawyers had actually done and actually said in court, and the documents they actually brought into court that turned out to be fraudulent. >> chilling. i used to be the dean of a law school here in detroit, and we train our students to be lawyers who will uphold the law, who will respect our constitution, and who won't used a lot to sow seeds of doubt falsely. with frivolous complaints about the integrity of our elections. that's precisely what happened here. and there needs to be consequences for that. not just for our democracy and the foundation of our entire rule of law but to send a message to future attorneys. others who may be trying to explore these shenanigans in future electio

you write of rudy giuliani that he was a pariah in some ways within trump world. staffers believed giuliani was buzzed, nearly all of the time, that he had significant memory problems and lived in a vast world of data and technology disorganization, and indeed that he was one of the root causes of the trump administration's failures. >> many more than one person very close to the president would say to me that this -- that it's on rudy, the failures of this administration, the absurdities of this administration, rudy was the toxic center. i mean, i think it was rudy plus the president. but yes, it's these two men, both of them in their own way having departed reality, who are at the center of -- who have been at the center of this country for the last four years. >> you write of giuliani, you mention of giuliani in other places, what do you think it is that drives him, i have heard you say it's desperation. >> i think to be at the center of attention, to be, i mean, i think this is a man who can't stand the fact that he was pushed out, that he's, you know, a non-pl

referencing trump's attorneys including rudy giuliani it reads what rudy and jen tna are doings a joke and getting laughed out of court and in the following month in december somebody that could have spoken out publicly and been heard spoke very quietly. here is the operative line by the "wall street journal" michael bender quote, barr told trump the fraud allegations were bullshit and the team he put around himself were clowns but only said it to trump. nobody broke through the wall of lies and liars around trump. i'll speak to bender about his reporting in a moment. but first, biden's takedown of trump today comes as a war is being waged between texas lawmakers tonight. >> in texas for example, republican led state legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and impartial poll workers. they want voters to dive further and be able to be in a position where they wonder who is watching them and intimidating them, to wait longer to vote. to drive a hell -- excuse me, a long way to get to vote. they want to make it so hard and inconvenient they hope people don't

and i think the rudy giuliani story strikes me the most, that here's giuliani telling the president,o on the airwaves and just say you won shows me that giuliani, who has been disbarred from new york, should be disbarred from being considered a good american citizen because that kind of behavior by giuliani is just beyond the pale. but also, don, one other thing. the foreign policy aspect of this, the pompeo story, the thought that trump may have -- and many people in the pentagon were worried he might do a wag the dog type of thing, strike at iran or some country and then pull back and say, i can't leave. we're in the middle of this. so it's frightening literature, at times funny. but the three books together are the opening salvos of what i would call big lie studies. there's more to come. this was a moment when our democracy was in deep peril and was worse than even we thought, and that was pretty bad. >> charlie, let me just read to you what doug just mentioned. it's from the leonnig and the rucker book about the birth of the big lie on election night. then i'll get your response

you mentioned rudy giuliani obviously paul manafort pleading guilty to years of illegal l lobbying for ukraine and you have an investigation into rudy giuliani and rlobbying rules digging up dirt on president biden in ukraine. so why do you think this is a pattern among the people who surround trump? because it is a pattern. >> well, again, this is the foreign agent's registration act apparently is one of the aspects being investigated with respect to giuliani. i will say, just has a lawyer myself, i think the foreign agents registration act is a very poorly worded statute and people should know it was written in the late 1930s. it been changed since then but written in the late 1930s to deal with nazi agents in the united states. so it could stand some updating to say the least. one would have to ask whether barrack or giuliani or others in the situation ever bothered to consult with lawyers as to whether they might be in jeopardy doesn't appear they did. >> which is pretty shocking because these are sophisticated players. these are people who they deal with international people and g

bill, thank you. >>> and next, another major blow to rudy giuliani.ormer personal attorney has now been suspended from practicing law in washington, d.c., after he was suspended from his home state of new york. >>> plus a moment of silence taking place tonight as officials in surfside, florida, shift the search and rescue operation to a recovery. the time is now. to stop talking. to start doing. time to create clean energy jobs. it's time to inspire, to hire, to build. and to lead. it's time to shine. and to move. time to punch the clock, roll up our sleeves and get to work to fight climate change. our president put forward a plan to create clean energy jobs in big cities, small towns, and everywhere in between. now it's time for congress to get it done. it's dry. there's no dry time. makes us wonder why we booked fifteen second ad slots. liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need. how much money can liberty mutual save you? one! two! three! four! five! 72,807! 72,808... dollars. yep... everything hurts. only pay for wha

it's really -- look at what they're doing to incredible people like rudy giuliani.atest mayor in the history of the city of new york. [applause] great crime fighter. and at the same time, they're weaponizing the irs against conservatives and christians just like they did with the tea party except worse. there are now two sets of laws in this country. one for the left-wing mob, the rioters system and and the rampagers who can do whatever the hell they want to whomever they want to do it. but there is another set of rules for law a abiding, conservative americans. -- law-abiding conservative americans, happen to be republicans, who simply want to speak their minds and exercise their rights like to talk about a rigged election. talk about a rigged election. [applause] but rudy giuliani -- and i mean that, he is by far the greatest mayor of the city. and now you realize, you know, it means more right now, 34599, than it would have meant five years ago when you say that because you see what the hell is happening to our cities. new york in particular. but one of the great

that was part of the arizona republic's online post. >> it's rudy giuliani. i was very happy to see that there's going to be forensic audit of the machines and i really wanted to talk to you about it a bit. the president wanted me to give you a call. all right? thank you. give me a call back. i would really appreciate it. thank you. >> hey, clint. it' it's kelly ward. i just talked to president trump and he's -- he would like me to talk to you. and also, see if he needs to give you a call to discuss what's happening on the ground in maricopa. give me a call back, when you can. thanks. bye. >> so, who is clint? clint hickman, at the time, was the chair of the board of supervisors in maricopa county. a republican. he says he never returned those calls, or ones from the white house switchboard operator, with requests to call back former-president trump. and i want to give you the timeframe of when these calls were made, in relation to that call that the then-president made to georgia's secretary of state, brad raffensperger, the infamous find-me-votes call. that

rudy asked what's happening in michigan? they said it was too early to tell. just say we won, giuliani told them. me thing in pennsylvania. just say we won pennsylvania. god, rudy must have been an annoying kid. you're playing tag and you get him on the shoulder, but instead of admitting it, he says nuh uh, at a press conference next to a dildo store. ( laughter ) ( applause ) next to. not in front of next to. campaign officials shot the idea down, but after fox news called arizona for biden, giuliani advised the former president just go declare victory right now. you've got to go declare victory now. it's an age old strategy. after a devastating loss, just say you won. reminds of this climactic scene. ♪ >> i'm the winner!

host: what is the relationship between rudy giuliani and donald trump today? t: they don't speak. rudy is not even allowed to call the president. this has happened multiple times over the last four years. rudy is allowed in, makes a mess, and then it is pushed back out. also, rudy wants money from the president. so no matter who you are, how loyal you have been, how much -- the president might be -- once you start saying that he pay you, then his mood changes. host: let's go to jim, mulberry tennessee, independent line. jim in tennessee, go ahead. caller: yes, i would like to say that i agree with mr. wolff, and i have a comment. i would like to say that donald trump started out his presidency saying that mexico would pay for the wall, and he was wrong about that. so then he said he was going to just tax mexican products, and he was wrong about that. so he switched to health care and said he would repeal and replace obamacare. and he was wrong, and wrong about that. then he said he would found -- that he would possibly pay it off -- seriously wrong again. he sa

rudy giuliani apparently pushed members of trump's inner circle to, quote, just say we won. ly pushed back telling giuliani it would be both incoherent and irresponsible. nonetheless, trump went on to do apparently what giuliani suggested. now, ben, this can't result in trump staying in the white house, but it did result in the big lie. it resulted in the dozens of new state election laws we're seeing. it resulted in the insurrection. who should be ultimately held accountable here? >> that's what the court proceedings find out. but certainly donald trump is the one who has been talking about it the most. and there is a barrage of information from three books that have come out about the last days of the trump administration including one where the republican national committee's chief lawyer is saying that the suits they were filing was a joke. but the chickens are coming home to roost. look at the audit in arizona which appears to be severely off track, and that's going to provide both a forum for trump to prove his charges, but also then for people to delve into the accurac

and, well, there was a low and behold the story of how she is invading taxes and rudy giuliani endedprosecuting her. there's another real estate mogul, donald j. trump went out and said leona hemsly is a disgrace. >> no small irony there. the trump organization is a family business. a >> right. >> the trump organization also named in this indictment, this is the president's, former president's family business being hauled before the courts and charged with crimes. and i don't think that should be lost on people. but based on what you saw, i think this is worse for allen weisselberg than everyone was expecting. >> absolutely. >> the question is could it be or can it be tied to donald trump? what are the chances -- you have some personal experience with this, that donald trump was completely oblivious to this alleged tax scheme going on in his company. >> my personal experience is limited to the fact that i bought an apartment from the trump organization on the east side. one of the things that happened when i signed the contract, i sent them multiple copies of the contract to the lawy

beyond that, or in addition to that, rudy giuliani, he is a desperate figure, and desperate he will do anything to be at the center of attention. if that involves saying anything that trump wants to hear, he will certainly do that as we've seen. again, everyone in the white house, in the campaign, in trump's family, they know that this is incredibly destructive to the trump white house many of them actually blame rudy even more than they blame the president, even though everybody blames the president for the catastrophe of the last four years. >> the book is landslide. michael, please stay with us while we fit in a break. coming up, why the former president was very unhappy with his second of three supreme court mix. that and more when our conversation continues with the author. th author hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage
