Rudy Giuliani has a podcast now and I watched it for the first time. I was expecting the usual podcast background set of a desk and the American flag but, as a visual person, I was pleased to see two large, comfy red leather chairs, a fireplace, wood paneling and an oriental rug. He must be broadcasting from home.

Steve Bannon, whom I admire, was his guest and it was an informative, intelligent conversation between two political veterans. They didn't just talk about Trump! Giuliani has known Mini Mike for decades.

Lots of inside information you won't get from mainstream media and many will be surprised, especially younger people who are clueless about Giuliani's background since they only watch/read mainstream news. I have a short attention span but the time flew by.

Afraid to open your mind for a few minutes? You might just learn something.

I accepted your President (Obama) for 8 years, and went about my life. I watched his State of the Unions, paid my taxes, and caused no trouble for him, or anyone else.

So, you can't give a few minutes? Please try not to be so closed minded.

As a Libertarian Conservative (not Replublican) I listend to Bernie Sanders, and learned I agree with his analysis of America's problems.

You just never know. I try to learn something from everyone. You can too, give it a try.

No doubt, I have a co-worker that hates Fox news and I asked him if he ever watched it, he said no.

I'm like how the hell do you form an opinion with only one side of a given argument. I mean it's scary how people think these days.

I watch various "news" networks, trying to see all takes and points of views on things.

Didn't they used to teach people in HS debate class that you are supposed to research and present an argument from the side that you don't support? I mean at least this exposes you to all sides of an issue and makes for more informed people.

We live in a 15 seconds sound bite world with very very poor attention spans for a lot of people.

I don't watch Fox News either. Trump is not shy. He loves being before the camera and staging a big show. I hear what I need to hear directly from him. We have our own local news and radio in addition to the main news channels and outlets which also cover what is happening. I saw and read enough of Guiliani during the fake impeachment trial to last me a lifetime. He is all about conspiracy theories, pass. You don't have to watch Fox News to be informed.

That’s a lie. NONE of you Conservatives accepted Obama and furthermore, you guys even extended your hatred to his wife.

Frankly, I don’t care what you dig up on Bloomberg. If he’s the alternative to Trump, I don’t care if he was one of the hijackers on 9/11.

If you guys can vote for an amoral, lazy dirtbag to run the country, then you’ve got no moral high ground to stand on in criticizing any of our candidates.

So stop wasting your time.

The bottom line is, and I've said it probably a dozen times on this site but I will continue to until you stop which you won't: no one who supports Trump has a leg to stand on talking about ethics, morals, or family values. Period. You've proven those things mean nothing to you, so move on with your attempts to deter anyone's votes if all of your other posts are MAGA.

This. And to try to do it using Rudy-Colludy Giuliani to do it is even more ridiculous. There is nothing that corrupt and immoral gasbag has to say that I would believe.

We've got plenty. A vote for Trump in 2016 was a vote against a far worse individual and an abortion lover.


Enough said.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night after voting for a narcissist, con man, and misogynist who cheats on his pregnant wife with a porn star.

But he saw that in order to win over the evangelicals he had to be anti-abortion, so he flopped over there. Upstanding moral hero you have there.
