Summary

Political violence is never the answer to our nation's problems, disagreements, and divisions. Political violence was wrong when Donald Trump perpetrated it on January 6th, and it was wrong when it was perpetrated against him at his rally in Pennsylvania. There is no answer yet as to why a registered Republican decided to arm himself with an assault rifle and do what he did. But one thing is clear - if we don't do better, then things will only get worse. Then, Glenn talks about Rudy Giuliani. Within days of losing a massive money judgment for lying about and defaming Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, Rudy Giuliani tried to hold off having his assets seized by filing for bankruptcy. However, he couldn't even do bankruptcy right. The presiding judge has dismissed his bankruptcy case, stating, "the lack of financial transparency (by Giuliani) is particularly troubling given concerns that Mr. Giuliani has engaged in self-dealing and that he has potential conflicts of interest that would hamper the administration of his bankruptcy case". With the dismissal of Rudy's bankruptcy case, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman can now use all legal mechanisms to collect the $148 million he owes them, including seizing his assets.
