Rudy Giuliani is struggling with
cash.
Things are a little tight these
days.
He's got his own legal battle.
The FBI is raiding his home,
his office,
he needs a little bit of help.
So he reached out to the worst
possible person imaginable for
financial assistance.
And that person is Donald Trump.
Sources said people close to
Giuliani have urged
people in Trump's circle to
dip into the $250 million war chest
leftover from Trump's failed
bid to overturn the 2020 election
result to help Giuliani.
Now, again,
he's having money issues for
a number of different reasons.
There was the raid that just
happened on his home and
his office.
There is some indication that
he failed to register as a foreign
agent as he was doing
lobbying on behalf of Ukraine.
All sorts of shady business deals
taking place.
And so Maggie Haberman from
the New York times had tweeted that
Trump told one associate this week
that he wants to help Giuliani, but
also said that it isn't his call
>> [LAUGH] Whose call is it?
Whose call is it?
Well, I mean, I'd love to hell, but
I ain't already,
Bob tells me who the hell is Bob?
What are you talking about?
Is Jared Kushner still president?
Whose call would it be on releasing
funds from your political action
committee?
Of course, it's your call.
I mean, that's, look,
just to give you a sense of how
awful Donald Trump is.
These guys have been lifelong
friends, let alone the fact that
Giuliani was one of the few people
who would put his reputation on the
line and lie endlessly for Trump.
Did everything for him, everything.
>> It's so good. >> And then Trump
turns around after all of that help
in the present, the lifelong
friendship and says, true.
Giuliani, one name soul.
>> Listen- >> It's not my call.
I don't know.
>> The only likable thing about
Donald Trump is how he, I apologize
for lack of a better word,
cocks republican men.
Like daily,
he does it on the daily, they never
learn their lesson, right?
They're like on their hands and
knees crawling to him.
Daddy Trump, what can I do for you?
What can I do to destroy my
reputation, my legacy, my finances,
my everything.
What can I do for you?
And then when they're in trouble,
what do you think
Trump's going to do?
I'm sorry, it's out of my hands.
What can I do?
I'm sorry.
>> He now has- >> It's so good.
>> In that fund,
they scammed the heck out of you
guys if you're right wingers.
And he's got over $100
million in that fund.
He could do anything he wants.
And he put a footnote in there
saying that he can spend it any way
that he wants as long as your
donation was under, I think $5,000.
Which was almost all the donations.
He could do anything he wants.
And Rudy knows that,
you think Rudy doesn't, by the way
they're doing veiled threats.
Andrew Giuliana was like, 36 hours
and then well, I guess we'll have
to see what happens and stuff.
I'm like, Andrews' Rudy son.
>> It gets better, it gets better.
Because while the truth is obvious,
any person with common sense can
see it.
The Giuliani team seems
to be completely oblivious about
who Donald Trump really is.
In fact, Maggie Haberman also
tweeted that if this was a simple
issue of Trump not realizing
Giuliani was in trouble as some
Giuliani allies believe, this would
have been dealt with days ago.
Do you get it?
They think that Trump just wasn't
aware [LAUGH] >> And
that like Trump is such a great guy
that he would have loved to help.
He would have loved to help
him guys.
>> Yeah, well,
two things about that.
One, so they follow this mentally
challenged guy, Donald Trump,
because they're incredibly dumb.
And so Rudy is like, no,
Donald is going to stick up for me.
You've known Donald Trump
your whole life and you thought he
was going to stick up for you?
You thought he threw everyone else
that he's ever known under
a bus but you were the one guy
he was going to stick up.
And that he was going to give you
the money that he promised.
He's never giving anyone
the money that he promised.
And he brags about it,
smart businessman goes bankrupt and
says, ha ha, I'm not paying any of
you back, right?
And you thought you were
going to be different, why?
Are you special Rudy?
Did you think he was going to carry
you on his shoulders going Rudy,
Rudy, you know what happened?
I gotta tell you this part.
So Rudy thought he could just rob
people, right?
Because he's like MAGAs
a bunch of idiots.
So he was charging 20,000 a day for
representing Donald Trump as his
personal lawyer through that whole
election mess, right?
But it was all theoretical.
And then Trump, it turns out,
got the bill and was like, no,
no, don't pay it.
He's like, he didn't win.
He didn't represent me well enough.
Rudy said, but wait, I thought we
were all had agreed to lie,
of course we can't win.
What do you mean win? We don't have
any evidence.
Rudy had to say in court once,
we're not even presenting evidence
of voter fraud.
He said it's not a voter fraud case
because they had no evidence of
voter fraud.
>> But I gotta say, I mean, yeah,
Trump was like $20 a day,
that he immediately told his aides,
don't pay it.
>> 20,000.
>> I'm sorry, 20,000 a day.
What did I say?
>> 20 bucks.
>> No, no. >> Trump wouldn't even
pay that. >> 20,000 a day my bad,
I misspoke.
And, but that was probably
the smartest thing Trump ever did
because, yeah, like what.
But again,
the point is this is a guy who
has gone bankrupt six times.
He is known for
not paying the bills that he is,
like, he won't pay what he's owed,
right.
Or what he owes other people I
should say.
So why would anyone think that he
would come to their financial
rescue?
It's ridiculous.
And then one other thing that I
want to mention, look,
I want to make sure that we're
always open and honest with our
audience, sometimes we're wrong.
And I think that we've been wrong
about trickle down economics.
Trickle down economics does not
work when the people in
positions of
power become tremendously wealthy.
That's when it doesn't work,
it doesn't trickles down to
the workers.
But, trickle down
economics absolutely does work when
the elite are in financial trouble.
Because Giuliani has
enlisted a part time driver but
he no longer moves around Manhattan
with the full complement of as many
as five people he has kept around
him in recent years.
In fact,
he's fired a bunch of people Cenk.
So the hardship has trickled down
here.
Giuliani laid off several staffers
and independent contractors
just in the last few weeks.
According to one of the people who
said the ousted employees had been
told that the former New York Mayor
was seeking to cut costs.
>> The poor guy now has to walk
around without an entourage.
My God, it is really tough times
for the Trump crowd.
Now, Michael Cohen, former lawyer
and fixer for Donald Trump as well,
who did turn evidence against
Donald Trump said Rudy will flip so
quick.
He also has known Rudy for a long,
long time.
You know why?
None of them have any morals or
ethics or loyalty at all.
And Trump is so dumb.
If all of your guys are terrible
people, you picked them because
they were terrible.
You pick them because
they're terrible.
So Rudy's here basically saying
Don, pay me, pay me something.
Okay, I need my entourage back.
If you don't, my son is putting
out veiled threats about how
I'm going to turn on you.
Michael Cohen is going,
I know Rudy, he's definitely
going to turn on him.
I know it seems shocking to us
because they both look mentally
deranged, and similarly so.
But all Trump would have to do is
not give him the 20,000
a day, right.
But give him like a couple of
100,000 or whatever some, for him,
with the hundreds of millions
he has, it's almost nothing, right?
But he won't even do that.
Nope, nope, he didn't win.
He should've lied better.
>> Cenk, if he had won,
if somehow miraculously with that
level of incompetence.
Rudy Giuliani delivered for
Trump and somehow reversed
the results of the 2020 election.
Trump still wouldn't pay him.
Trump still wouldn't look out for
him. >> Of course he wouldn't,
you're 100% right.
By the way, the over $100 million
that Trump has now because suckers,
and MAGA gave him unlimited money.
Well, it turns out some of them
are pissed out because they had it
as a default to give every month.
They had that checked off and
people didn't know that and
they didn't tell him that.
So they give it like,
let's say 100 bucks and
they're like, okay, all right,
let's go win this election.
And then Biden stole it,
would you go javas and
next month there is another 100 and
another 100.
They're like, what
the hell is going on.
>> A recurring
donation when they thought
that they were donating one time.
And, so now the FCC, the FCC,
Federal Election Commission, never
does anything because they're tied
with Republicans and Democrats.
And they both go, no.
Democrats never did anything wrong,
this democrats Commissioner
say the republicans say I don't
care how much we stole, robbed,
cheated and lied.
Not guilty, right?
It never does anything.
It just came out unanimously
saying no, you got to stop that.
That's, and
one of the commissioners said,
quote, it's almost like theft.
Okay, is that like- >> It's almost?
>> It is. >> Yeah, exactly.
>> Okay, it was so bad Trump had to
give some of the money back.
Okay, and so, but still he has most
of those ill gotten proceeds, but
he will not share one red penny
with Rudy Giuliani.
These are the worst people on
earth.
Okay, now,
we're almost out of time.
I want to read you guys
one more quote.
This one's, because it's somebody
wrote in on YouTube Super Chat, but
I love this so much.
Little mag wrote, and
Cenk go to the part in your dad's
book when he talked about coming
to America and meeting JFK.
His feelings of that time came
through the pages.
It motivated me to try even
harder so America can do
that to people again.
>> Yeah, I like that.
>> Yes, my dad's books on
shoptyt.com it's called
the Original Young Turk,
is amazing book.
I mean, he's almost
Forrest Gump, okay.
And America was so open to him as
a Turkish Muslim immigrant.
It was amazing.
All the stories whether it was
the getting tortured in a different
country and here they, I mean it's,
just check it out shoptyt.com is
called Original Young Turks.
Little max, thank you so much.
Really appreciate it and
appreciate that you got a lot out
of the book and I've been hearing
that a lot from peekaboo.
