The absurdity of the number merely underscores the absurdity
of the entire proceeding.
Or I've not been allowed to offer one single piece of evidence in defense.
Of which I have a lot.
So I am quite confident when this case gets before a fair tribunal,
it'll be reversed so quickly it'll make your head spin.
And the absurd number that just came in will help that, actually.
Rudy Giuliani might be the dumbest man in America, and I don't say that lightly.
And I do come with receipts because on Friday, America's former mayor,
okay, that's how he was referred to, was ordered to pay a whopping $148 million to
two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, after he, defamed them.
And they successfully sued him for defamation.
Now, as a reminder, the mother daughter pair were Georgia election workers
during the 2020 presidential election.
They were unfortunately and viciously targeted by former President Donald Trump
and his allies, including Rudy Giuliani, who baselessly accused them by name
of helping to steal the election.
There was obviously no evidence of that.
It was completely untrue, which is why Giuliani lost the defamation suit.
The trial for their defamation lawsuit against Giuliani
focused only on the issue of damages.
After Giuliani conceded key elements of the case
and the judge issued a default judgment.
Both women testified regarding the deluge of harassment, racist attacks.
They're both black women and death threats they received after being falsely accused
of committing election fraud, including being afraid to use their real names,
having to flee their homes, and having to quit their jobs as election workers.
So last week's trial determined the financial penalty
that Rudy Giuliani must pay, which includes $33 million for defamation,
$40 million for emotional distress and $75 million for punitive damages.
Now, of course, Giuliani is going to play the same tactics that we see from Trump
calling the trial unfair, arguing that he's a victim of a witch hunt.
I just don't think it's as successful for Rudy Giuliani as it is for Donald Trump.
And he claims that this is all part of a fascist system run by the Biden regime.
Okay. And because he can't shut up, Giuliani,
went on to Newsmax to basically whine more about how he was wronged.
So let's watch that video, and then we'll talk about how he's
continuing to defame the very woman women that he lost a defamation lawsuit to.
You obviously believe that you're not guilty in the case.
Can you tell us why?
Well, first of all, they never put in a piece of evidence that I was.
She decided it based on my, not turning over financial documents.
Number two, I had evidence that I wanted to present both on liability
and then later on, damages.
We wanted to present the evidence to show that I had a basis for what I said,
a very detailed tape recording.
Another detailed tape recording.
Several witnesses, a report done by,
by the Georgia Senate.
Do you allege that do you allege that none of it in your allegation,
your initial allegations, do you still believe them to be true?
Yeah.
Well, of course they'll sue me again for it when I say that.
But yeah, I do, but they want me. They want me to lie.
They sued him again.
But there's more because he did it a second time.
One more video and then John, we'll talk about it.
They're suing you again.
There's a second lawsuit being filed in federal court.
They're not seeking more damages.
They want a gag order that prevents you from repeating
what they say are false claims.
Well, you know, that sounds kind of un-American, doesn't it?
I mean, that's prior restraint.
It's, Are they actually going to put a gag on me?
When I walk around? Is that.
I mean, this bears no relationship to, my, learning in, in, in law school
about, the First Amendment, the right of free speech, even even the idea that,
when you're a public person, these people were public officials.
You have a certain range in which you can have opinion and, and discussion.
Plus, I got no chance to put in a defense what they basically they are suing me
in order to lie to them.
I'm sorry. I can't do it.
The if if, if I showed you the evidence right now
and I think you've played it on your air, people would see that what I said was
absolutely true and their support for it.
God I. It is.
You hit a point in your life where you realize that all of the leaders
that were touted in this country.
- I was thinking the same thing, are. - The most incompetent buffoons imaginable.
Oh, this is a free speech.
No, it's not it's not a free speech issue. It's not a free speech issue.
There's some speech.
There's limitations to every constitutional right,
including the freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
You're not allowed to incite violence that is not protected by the First Amendment.
You're not allowed to defame people, which is why defamation lawsuits exist.
That's the guy who took down the mob.
Those didn't exist when he went to law school.
- The concept of defamation. - God, just shut up.
It's not that difficult.
Just don't go on Newsmax and talk about this.
Just shut up. But he can't do it.
It is so easy to not go on Newsmax. Most people every day don't go on Newsmax.
Just don't go on Newsmax. Just shut up about it.
Just try.
Try to rekindle some sort of relationship with your daughter.
You don't have much time left. What are you doing with your life, buddy?
No. Guys like him live forever. He'll be.
We're going to be read stories about him when he's 120 years old.
His brain has been brining in hair dye for years,
so I'm sure he will live quite long.
But yeah, defamation is a thing.
He already like this, this, this last trial, as they pointed out,
was to determine the damages.
They already had a trial on the merits of the defamation case.
That would be a great time to show that what you were saying is true.
Because if it's true, it's by definition not going to be defamatory, right?
Maybe, you know, if you'd gone to law school, you would know that.
So now they're suing again. They're not looking for damages.
They just want him to shut up, stop defaming us because we would like
to live our lives in peace.
We did nothing wrong.
You are alleging that we did something that we did not in fact, do.
And as a result, our lives are being threatened and things have become
very difficult for you.
Please stop.
Oh, what do they want to do? They want to physically gag me?
No! You pervert!
They want you to just stop talking and stop lying about them.
But he can't help himself. These people are insane.
And he already had financial issues prior to the $148 million, you know,
judgment here, but he can't help himself.
He's still engaging in this, so I guess have fun enjoy enjoy the ride
because he just loves the drama.
Can't get enough.
