New York Court Suspends Rudy Guiliani’s Law License

Last week’s court ruling in New York stated that Giuliani pushed false and unfounded claims of fraud in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania in both official legislative hearings and in the media, in addition to misrepresenting the nature of the Trump campaign’s federal court litigation in Pennsylvania.

A New York court suspended Rudy Giuliani’s law license for two years for perpetuating lies about fraud in the 2020 election. 

Giuliani, who hosts a daily show on 77 WABC is also the subject of a newly released book called “Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency,” which accuses him of falsely assuring former President Donald Trump that Vice President Mike Pence had the power to overturn the 2020 election.

Author Michael Wolff accused Giuliani “of drinking heavily and in a constant state of excitation, often almost incoherent in his agitation and mania” in the lead-up to the deadly riot.”

Last week’s court ruling in New York stated that Giuliani pushed false and unfounded claims of fraud in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania in both official legislative hearings and in the media, in addition to misrepresenting the nature of the Trump campaign’s federal court litigation in Pennsylvania.

An excerpt of Wolff’s book published on Monday in New York Magazine illustrates the White House’s moment-by-moment reaction to the events at the U.S. Capitol.

“We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election. We warned him once. We warned him twice.”

According to a report from The New York Times, 77 WABC has ended the afternoon show hosted by former New York Mayor and Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

The program — heard from 3-4 PM ET — was hosted by Curtis Sliwa Friday, but still used The Rudy Giuliani Show branding.

According to the Times report, station owner John Catsimatidis had continually told the former New York mayor not to air discussions about the 2020 presidential election, which Rudy Giuliani has continually shared he did not believe the results were valid. He has been criminally charged in both Georgia and Arizona for his role in attempting to overturn the results that went against the former President.

“We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election. We warned him once. We warned him twice,” Catsimatidis told the newspaper. “And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it. So, he left me no option. I suspended him.”

While he noted he “liked the guy as a person,” Catsimatidis said he couldn’t allow the former New York mayor “to cross that line.”

“You don’t have to pay for lodging, food, nothing. I just want an honorary doctorate degree.”

Late last week, SiriusXM and CNN host Michael Smerconish revealed he had been uninvited to give a commencement address at a small Pennsylvania college. 95.5 WSB host Mark Arum just wants to be invited to give a speech.

While discussing pushback that President Joe Biden is receiving from Morehouse College students that he was selected as the college’s commencement speaker, The Mark Arum Show host said it is something he has always wanted to do.

“I will do it free,” Arum said. “You don’t have to pay me for travel. You don’t have to pay for lodging, food, nothing. I just want an honorary doctorate degree. And I’d be very happy to give a commencement speech somewhere. That’s an open offer to anyone out there.”

Radio hosts aren’t an uncommon commencement speaker as one might think.

Longtime Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin spoke at the graduation at Goldey-Beacom College last week and was awarded the honorary doctorate degree that Arum is chasing.

Meanwhile, in Smerconish’s case, he said a passage from his 2004 book about travel safety procedures after 9/11 was the reason he was viewed as too controversial of a candidate for Dickinson College to host as its commencement speaker.
