and that show of support is enormously important for those of us who followed or covered rudy giuliani in new york. >> in some newsrooms, we call him, you know, 910 rudy, meaning before nine over 11 and his transmogrification into this new person, america's mayor, that the rest of the world got to know. >> he's the man of the hour. a man whose extraordinary grace under pressure in the days since this devastating attack has led him to be called america's mayor. ladies and gentlemen, rudy giuliani. >> the city was shrouded in a real and psychological dust. and then. giuliani appeared on saturday night live. >> we went there reluctantly. none of us were in the mood for going on saturday night live. that was the mayor again, thinking big, thinking that, okay, we need to we need to start laughing again. >> can we be funny? >> why start now? >> there was this kind of like collective release of okay, if he can begin to smile, maybe we can too. i thought that was an important moment. >> it was like a curtain going up on this newest phase of the rudy giuliani story. >> his response to the attac

rudy giuliani did that. he had rulings on his liability with amounts set about what he owed ruby freeman and shaye moss for defaming them and really damaging them, injuring them. they got death threats. they had to move. actual monetary damage as well as emotional damage and yet he is defying the court orders to divulge his assets. he is hiding things. he was at a hearing friday that is continuing tomorrow about whether he should be in contempt for failing to produce the assets he needs to produce to fulfill that judgment. that is what the chief justice was talking about in his message. this defiance of judicial orders and the rule of law. we are in a dangerous situation when it comes to the rule of law when between disinformation and people in positions of power , elected officials, are espousing the idea of ignoring court rulings. we may disagree with court rulings, i often do, sometimes i think they're right or wrong, but if we get to a point in this country where we do not abide by those rulings, then we

rudy giuliani is suffering real consequences already.ll suffer additional consequences as is deserved. there are other people around trump who have suffered consequences. it is too bad that is not going to happen for the person at the top of the ticket except maybe cosmically. but i think it is very real, that rudy has suffered consequences for his behavior as he will shut. >> andrew weissmann, harry litman, thank you for sticking with me. when we returned, new reporting and scrutiny against one of president-elect donald trump's most controversial cabinet picks. we will have to read -- that after a very short break. stay with us. with us. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering "seven things every medicare supplement should have". it's yours free, just for calling the number on your screen. and when you call, a know

>> rudy giuliani, as you just mentioned, owes these two georgia election workers, $146 million.they are fighting about now is which of his assets have to be turned over to these women. a district court judge has previously ordered his new york apartment, a vintage mercedes convertible, bank accounts, 20 something watches have to be turned over to them. what they're arguing about is whether giuliani has participated in discovery and good faith, and as a result, whether his palm beach condominium, which he says is exempt from being seized because it is his primary residence, whether that too can be forced to be turned over to them. that's what the judge has heard today and we're expecting rulings shortly. >> lisa rubin, thank you so much. that is going to do it for us on a very busy monday. make sure to join us for "chris jansing reports" every weekday are from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. all of this news, we'll take it up again. our coverage continues with "katy tur reports" right after this. ontinues with "katy tur reports" right after this upset stomach ibero

peter navarro served time in jail, and rudy giuliani disbarred and is now trying to fight payment afteraming election workers that upended their lives, and these are not patriots and it's unconscionable for a foreign leader to have been part of that. there's only one president at a time and she had no business there doing that and the lack of transparency is precisely why things like this should not happen now, and donald trump believes he and everybody around him is above the law. >> let's just say -- let's just put a finer point on it. this is sickening. this is sickening. i am sick. peter navarro, jeffrey clark, the people that went to the capitol to take up arms against the united states government, because the president at the time lied to them, that's what happened, those are not patriots. what donald trump did last night is a disgrace to the country and constitution, and the fact that they didn't tell anybody about it let's you know that they knew what they were doing was untoward, and they wanted to do it anyway. vaughn, how in the next iteration of what some are calling trump 2

rudy giuliani was held in contempt of court for the second time in one week, this time because he wasot stopping, spreading lies about the 2020 election. what has happened to giuliani in court in washington, d.c.? is that a year ago, a jury found that he had defamed two georgia election workers for repeating the false statement that they had stolen votes against donald trump in the 2020 election. that was false. and he was found to need to pay them $150 million for defamation. after that, five and a half months later, he went on his broadcast. this past november and kept repeating the things that he said about them. essentially the same lies about the 2020 election, saying them again. and so what happened in court was that giuliani had to appear and the judge had to put in place some sort of punishment so that he wouldn't continue to do this. what she decided this is judge beryl howell of the d.c. district court. she decided that he would have to swear to the court within ten days that he acknowledges the facts, the true facts about the 2020 election, that it was not stolen, and that

>> well, jake, this was a hearing getting rudy giuliani to stop spreading lies about the 2020 election, specifically in georgia. so there had been this court case against him, $150 million judgment from these two georgia election workers. he was defaming. they've been trying to hold him to account here. and what happened was, well, after that trial ended a year ago, he went on his broadcast and four times kept claiming that they had stolen votes in the 2020 election. so today he was brought before a judge who ordered him to review the whole record. all the facts that have been found about what happened in 2020, that there weren't votes switched against donald trump, and he has to acknowledge to the court within ten days that he understands that, that he sees that full record and he has to do that under oath. if he doesn't with this court, he's going to be fined $200 a day. he could even be put in jail. and it was a day where the judge said to him it was outrageous and shameful what he was doing to these two women. >> let me just ask a question. what if he can't because there's somethin

we have you, there was some news that came down which is a federal judge has a found route -- rudy giulianin contempt for failing to turn over information to two former election workers he defamed after the 2020 election and they are pursuing him for $150 million in damages and they had a hard time trying to collect that and rudy giuliani had a lot of issues after he was found liable in court over this. what would be next in the case? >> right now this was an issue about his palm beach residence and whether or not that can be used to satisfy the judgment and his argument is this is his private residence and the laws in florida could help shield your private residence from being something that would be subject to judgment collection and that is what it stems from. and this is about all of this document and evidence that he would establish whether or not it would qualify under these restrictions as far as collections and he did admit it is contempt or he that he did feel evidence and information that he was supposed to and he gave excuses but he said he did not do it and that was really the n

so, rudy giuliani got to pay up. stop running from the court. >> just pay up.partment, duit, you should pay. >>> on another issue trump got a little bit of a positive mark from you matthew for his u.s. steel decision, let's go on the other side. he jumped on board fox when fox, for about two hours was misrepresenting the new orleans terrorist attack as something to do with the border as being open borders, attacked by a person that comes over the border from mexico. that was a lie. it seems that while they did retract the story fox is not letting go of the narrative. it feels dangerous because it is untrue. your thoughts? >> even the current new speaker, the new re-elected speaker is not letting it go. >> he is from there >> yes. >> from louisiana. >> yes. talking about it and talking about the open border so people do not have to connect the dots in their minds. to me it is such a dangerous thing in our democracy. it goes back to times in our history where people made up stories and then all of a sudden large segments of neighborhoods were wiped out because so

all right, so joey, just briefly, rudy giuliani being held in contempt because he hasn't turned over there will be a trial to determine, you know, just backing up very briefly, kasie, what happens is ÷÷this is a distinction between winning a civil case, and we know that udy giuliani was found liable for defamation for the tune of $240 million. there's a distinction between monetary judgment and collecting the judgment, and so here in order to collect the judgment, right? the plaintiffs' attorneys, miss freeman and her daughter have looked to get this money. rudy giuliani is not being cooperative with respect to giving what he owes, with respect to sharing information. he's in contempt. he's trying to protect, briefly, his florida home. if he can establish that home is÷÷a home he lives in, it gets protected. if it's just another asset, it doesn't, so there will be a trial as to that, and the judge will prohibit him from really making the argument that it's his home because he hasn't provided information to that fact, and so what's next is really interesting as to whether÷÷they can get

but first, rudy giuliani is in court today as a judge weighs whether to hold him in contempt over thessets he's been ordered to turn over. and this stems from the defamation lawsuit brought by two georgia election workers after the 2020 election. giuliani was ordered to pay ruby freeman and shay moss nearly $150 million. joining us now is cnn's katelyn polantz on this sort of ongoing fight here, ongoing fight that's heating up in court in manhattan right now. so our reporter, lauren del valle is watching the proceedings in real time. and the judge just said to giuliani, your client will testify today. >> meaning rudy giuliani will have to take the stand to try and defend himself as the court considers holding him in contempt, the type of penalties that could be fines. >> it even could be jail because he isn't turning over the things that the court says he must. >> back in october, this judge, judge lewis liman in federal court in manhattan, said he's got to give up his most valuable possessions, including a $6 million apartment in new york to ruby freeman and shaye moss, because he ha

they say rudy giuliani has displayed a consistent pattern of willful defiance in supplying what is neededefamation judgment against him. the judge has yet to detail what specific penalties he could face. the venezuelan opposition leader met with president biden today. u.s. recognizes gonzales as the winner of last year's disputed presidential election. he is on a regional tour. maduro was set to start his third term later this week. outside of the white house today gonzalez would not reveal what he and mr. biden spoke about but said the meeting was long and fruitful. >> we are grateful for the support that the government of the united states has given us in the struggle for democratic recovery in venezuela. we will ensure the road to restoration and democracy is paved as soon as possible. geoff: gonzalez also said he expects a close relationship with donald trump and he is in contact with from steam. the city of minneapolis approved a police reform deal with the federal government that stems from the murder of george floyd. today's agreement known as a consent decree requires long-term su

people like rudy giuliani, michael flynn, jeffrey clark and peter navarro were in attendance as well. you know, on one hand, who cares what donald trump shows at mar-a-lago, except that in a few weeks he's going to be in the white house and this -- this wanders into the territory of things that the president is actually doing as president as opposed to the president-elect is doing with his friends. >> well, you know, criminals always return to the scene of the crime and they can't get over january 6 because they understand that that was the moment where their big lie exploded into full public consciousness and everybody could see where their lies were leading. they acted in the face of more than 60 federal and state court decisions repudiating every assertion of election fraud and election corruption that they were advancing about the 2020 campaign. and yet they can't leave it alone because they understand that this whole history that we are living through to this day has been warped and distorted by those lies and their attack on us. you know, at the swearing in on january 3rd of the

first, rudy giuliani -- rudy giuliani, donald trump next week being sentenced on january 10th by judgerump isn't going to spend time in jail. >> we have to acknowledge a darkness to a moment where a judge says, we're not recommending jail time, not because it wouldn't be deserved but because it's not practical because he's the president of the united states, right? i mean that is a dark moment. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, but jonathan, i can't get over this, four years ago this monday there was a violent attempt to overthrow an american election, all led and caused by donald trump, and he's going to be sworn in in two weeks. i just cannot move beyond that. >> yeah, and mind you, what judge merchan -- judge merchan's case has nothing to do with the january 6th case, which is sitting on ice as a result of shenanigans. but we should point out, if the sentencing goes forward january 10th when donald trump takes the oath of office, he will do so as the first convicted and sentenced president of the united states. okay, this afternoon -- how much time to we have? not a lot. medal of freedoms were g

former new york city mayor rudy giuliani has been found in contempt of court. fter a judge said giuliani has failed to turn over assets to satisfy $148 million defamation judgment against two georgia election workers. he's already turned over his new york apartment, as well as a mercedes benz. however, he has yet to hand over watches and sports memorabilia, including a yankees world series ring. the judge says he will decide on appropriate sanctions against giuliani at a later date. the department of defense has reached a historic legal settlement with lgbtq plus veterans discharged under don't ask, don't tell. the class action lawsuit was brought by veterans who discharged. papers say they were kicked out because of their sexual orientation. in many cases, they received less than honorable discharges, which can interfere with their benefits, as well as eligibility for some jobs. under the agreement, they will receive discharge papers that do not mention their sexuality. the settlement, which still must receive approval from a federal judge, will affect as many

and so for donald trump, he this weekend had john eastman, jeffrey clark, rudy giuliani, peter navarro in attendance at a ballroom in mar-a-lago where they were watching a feature film focused on john eastman, one of the lawyers indicted in part of the fake elector scheme. for donald trump, today's certification was just as important as continuing to justify his actions from four years ago. >> so he had them over. what was the intention and what does that mean for when he gets sworn into office? should we expect to see more of these characters again, vaughn? >> i think it was a note to those who are loyal to donald trump that to the extent that you continue to be useful and stand by him to the end, that you will have a place at mar-a-lago in palm beach, and these are individuals who, right, jeffrey clark, individuals who could have testified against him, provided the grand jury, a grand jury information that could have been detrimental to him. could have flipped, right, could have pled guilty down in fulton county. these individuals chose not to do that. where are they at this crucial

the crimes that were created by the hush money payoff game with stormy daniels, left parnas was rudy giuliani'sight-hand man came forward he said it was nothing there, we were trying to concoct stories about joe biden. he simply just to threatened. so i think people in that category need our assistance and our solidarity, and i would hope that there are some things that could bring us together where we can work together in a bipartisan way. for example, i know that president-elect donald trump seems to be very proud of the fact that he won the popular vote this time. he didn't win the popular vote in 2016, but he won it by more than 3 million votes i know joe biden was proud that he won by more than 7 million votes in 2020. how about we get everybody together and say it's time for us to start electing the president of the united states the way we elect representatives, senators, governors, mayors, everybody else, whoever gets the most votes wins? let's use this as an opportunity to get beyond all of the problems with the electoral college which is an accident waiting to happen every four years?

for the second time this week, a judge has found rudy giuliani to be in contempt of court in 2023. a judge found giuliani guilty of defaming two georgia election workers. the court ordered him to pay nearly $150 million in damages. giuliani is appealing the verdict, but just last week, the judge found giuliani to be in contempt of court for refusing to turn over his financial documents. today, he is being held in contempt again. this time, it's for continuing to defame those election workers on his streaming show. that's despite a court ordered agreement saying he wouldn't. there is a lot going on from the nation's capital to la. here's meet the press moderator kristen welker, with a preview of sunday's show. as deadly wildfires ravaged california. i'll speak exclusively with democratic senator alex padilla about recovery efforts in his state. plus, president elect trump is just one week away from returning to the oval office. i'll talk to republican senator james lankford of oklahoma about how congress will handle mr. trump's top legislative priorities. and in our meet the moment

rudy giuliani is facing a massive defamation settlement. there is one thing he refuses to give up. back in 2023, a judge ordered giuliani to pay $148 million for defaming two election workers. so far, he's turned over watches and cars to satisfy the verdict, but he is holding on tight to his yankees world series rings. you can see him wearing one here. giuliani bought the rings back in 2002, and since then, giuliani claims that he's passed them on to his son as a family heirloom. his lawyers argue that since the rings belonged to his son, now, giuliani can't be forced to turn them over. an investigation is underway tonight in wisconsin into nearly 200 absentee ballots. ballots going uncounted in november, state election officials launched the investigation in madison. today, they're looking into whether the city clerk failed to comply with state law or abused her discretion. commission members said they were concerned the clerk's office didn't inform them of the problem until late last month, almost a month and a half after the election. in

and there is no one like a rudy giuliani on september 11th. there is no leader. there is no one, at least here on the east coast. i don't know what's going on on the west coast. there's no one who says, here i am, i'm in control, i'm in charge, and this is what we're going to do, and we're going to display. there's no sense of someone who's taking the bull by the horns, comforting people and figuring this out. it's just it's it's not there. >> look, i worked for rudy giuliani during 9/11, so i appreciate that point. but i think also in this environment right now where immediately there's disinformation flowing through social media networks that cleaves down partisan lines, that is stopping our ability to be united. and we should not just accept that as inevitable. that is weakening our ability to unite as a nation and as cities. >> let me answer your your criticism by asking you a question. do you think it was uniting or dividing while in the midst of these fires for the democrats to go to sacramento and in an emergency session, vote to appropriate $50 million to

rudy giuliani is in civil contempt of court this evening for failing to comply with a multi-million dollar defamation ruling. it stems from the case brought by two georgia election workers, whose lawyers clai giuliani has not surrendered assets they are owed in 2023. giuliani conceded that he made derogatory, defamatory statements about thehe electio workers, and a judge ruled he was liable for defamation. giuliani says his day to day life has been upended by the election workers, and he has not, quote, willfully disobeyed any court orders. another trial is scheduled for january 16th to determine the status of some of giuliani's possessions. as the debate continues about whether miners should have access to medications that support gender affirming care, a new study shows those drugs are rarely prescribed. the data, published today in jama pediatrics researchers analyzed private insurance claims for more than 5 million patients ages 8 to 17 over a four year span. it found that less than 0.1% of adolescents who are transgender are prescribed puberty blockers or gender affirming hormones. in

one of them is rudy giuliani. a judge holding him in contempt for turning items over to the workers and he owes them. trump can not bail him out. he will pay the piper, trump's president, talk about a path in the woods, two pants in the woods. >> i think he is in deep trouble. looks like there is no way out from this proceeding. he will lose most of his assets and might of lost his home in florida because of the contempt in the court. we will see what happens but that is a good likelihood and faces exposure in georgia if the case is resurrected and indicted in arizona for carrying out the false elector's scheme. he has been left in a lurch in ways trump as president can not reach in and try to pry it loose. >> congressman, trump referred to january 6th as a day of love. today, one of your former colleagues, marjorie tailor greene also referred to it as a day of love. a day, well, you were there. what do you think when you hear that version now and have to deal with the real possibility that version bottoms as much

look what they're doing to rudy giuliani america's mayor 911. they are destroying him.at they did that in this libel case of donald trump, another federal judge. and now, look at the state judge in new york. this is a federal constitution that involves an electoral system. it involves our constitutional system it involves the federal law i'm sorry, i admit i've never been a defense lawyer. at the rabbinic prosecutor i have spent 45 years fighting these guys litigating is the irs and the epa. litigating against every federal department litigating against radical left-wing groups and so forth and so on. i takes a different kind of mindset to fight these people. not litigation paint by the numbers. school choice, we one that landmark legal foundation. bill clinton being held in contempt we felt that complaint in arkansas years ago epa held contempt for destroying records, we did that. i can go on and on and on. sometimes you are representing somebody or woul when you are commenting on a case don't be so defensive. don't worry about a loss. you don't do that in football. yo
