in the criminal prosecution by the Arizona attorney general against Rudy Giuliani and others, almost Donald Trump, who were involved with the attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power. What's Rudy done now? Now, let's just put this in perspective. Rudy is no longer a lawyer. And there's no other nice way to put it.

Rudy lost his bar license last year in New York. Rudy lost his bar license a week ago in the District of Columbia. He's now just, I don't know, another 80 year old that lives in Florida and he's decided however through counsel to attack the grand jury in Arizona and argue what else. That the grand jury was politically motivated, that the grand jury was all Democrats. It wasn't a grand jury of his peers. He's not entitled to that anyway. And he only got indicted because it was overweighted with Democratic grand jurors. Sounds fantastic. I'm sure it's selling a couple of t-shirts on his America's Mayor podcast, but it's untrue. And the judge in Maricopa County told him that in a new decision. Let me read to you from the new order that shows you that, let's be frank, Rudy has not only

lost his fastball, he's lost all of his balls. Let's just leave it at that. So the main argument that Rudy's lawyers were making is that the grand jury in this case was somehow politically biased against him. The judge said, you haven't presented one scintilla of evidence, not one scintilla of information to support that claim. In fact, the judge goes on to say that the 93rd grand jury, meaning the 93rd grand jury impaneled in Arizona,

wasn't even a grand jury that was dedicated to the Arizona election interference case. It was just a regular old grand jury that had been up and running hearing lots of different cases all at the same time. That it wasn't a special purpose grand jury. It wasn't even selected for Rudy Giuliani. It was selected a long time ago. As the court says on the second page of its order,

the court further notes that the 93rd grand jury who indicted defendant Giuliani was impaled well before this matter was ready for presentation to the grand jury. It predated the Arizona attorney general's start of her investigation or the prosecution of Rudy Giuliani. This was not a special grand jury, the court continues to address the charges brought against these various defendants. Rather, it was just a regular sitting grand jury. There is therefore no reliable information, and of course Rudy Giuliani doesn't provide any, to suggest that the impaneling of this grand jury occurred in contemplation of

this case or with a political agenda in mind. This court continues to strive for efficient management of this case, and in doing so, here are there are compromises that can be reached and hopes that there are. But along those lines, there is an opportunity to address the threshold question posed. Was a political party affiliation information as to a potential grand juror known or available to the grand jury commissioner at the time they were summoned for jury service? To answer this question, he's just going to like get to the bottom of it. He directs, the judge directs the Arizona Attorney General's office to secure an affidavit declaring whether party political party affiliation was even available to the grand juror. This should take it

off off the off the table. But he did give a little bit a little give a little bit to Giuliani, but knowing that frankly they didn't ask about party affiliation. In all respects, the relief is denied as to Giuliani, and leave will only be granted if the disclosures that he's asked for reveal any factual basis for the inquiry. What does it all mean in English?

Work better, live healthier with Uplift Desk. Rudy Giuliani's trying to find a way to throw out his indictment. He's trying to argue that the grand jury somehow is politically biased against him without any evidence whatsoever.

The judge, as you just saw, bent over backwards to give him an affidavit from the person in charge of the grand jury, but even that's not going to help Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani has a lot of problems, as we've talked about. He's been disbarred, not just temporarily suspended in two different jurisdictions that is no longer a lawyer, can no longer represent himself or provide legal services. He's facing a how to pay $148 million running with interest. That's a lot of interest. It's like $30,000 a day or so in a judgment, federal judgment against him held by two judgment creditors who used to be election workers in Fulton County, Georgia, Ruby Freeman Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss which he hasn't

paid. He's got a bankruptcy that he tried to file to avoid paying and that got dismissed for bad-faith filing by the judge who also awarded and he's got to pay Rudy Giuliani $300,000 to pay for professionals in the bankruptcy to look at his assets and to monitor his assets in a bankruptcy that got dismissed. So he owes more money because of his stupid idea to file a bankruptcy. Now he has to sell his house in New York, sell his house in Florida, turn over the keys to the Mercedes and all the Yankee memorabilia to the judgment creditors led by Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss. Right? He's down to nothing. They had to hold

a party for him at a restaurant for his birthday. While he was at the party, he got served with the lawsuit related to all this and he got served with the indictment in Arizona while he's at his birthday party. So this is he's indicted in Georgia, he's now indicted in Arizona, he's an unindicted co-conspirator in the Jack Smith DC election interference case in the District of Columbia. Things are not going well for this guy.

You know, he's writing some sort of book about the Biden crime family. Talk about a day late, a dollar short. Apparently he got somebody to publish but hasn't come out yet. He tries to grift his way through podcast appearances. He says that Donald Trump owes him a million dollars in legal fees, which he'll never see. Sad, sad tale of Rudy Giuliani circling the drain, but apparently not fast enough, especially for the court system in Arizona. We'll
