Summary

Rudy Giuliani was once credited for lowering crime in New York and a swift response to 9/11. So how has he fallen so sharply from grace? Jacob Jarvis is joined by Andrew Kirtzman, author of Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America's Mayor to find out how since becoming an integral part of the Donald Trump leadership, Rudy Giuliani is a figure beset with scandals. “Rudy Giuliani was a different person in the past, an authoritarian but largely effective and smart.” “The Rudy Giuliani of today is sloppy, forgetful and lost in a fog.” “Rudy Giuliani attended 200 funerals – and then cynically cashed in on his fame.” “Trump brought Rudy Giuliani back to life.” “Whatever good Rudy Giuliani did as Mayor has been eviscerated by the 2020 election.” Not for Patreon www.patreon.com/bunkercast Book link: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Giuliani/Andrew-Kirtzman/9781982153298 Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis.
