RUDY GIULIANI (HOST): There are hundreds, hundreds, hundreds, and hundreds of affidavits and statements and videotapes of people laying out one or two areas of fraud or 7,000. 17,000 people voted in Pittsburgh, went to vote in Pittsburgh who had already voted. 17,000. That's a document. What do I do? They may say it's not true, but I have a document that says it. What do I do? Tear it up? That I should be disbarred for. Remember, a lawyer, your lawyer, has to give you the benefit of the doubt because if he doesn’t give you the benefit of the doubt, nobody's going to give you the benefit of the doubt. That's the way our legal system works.

They are operating on principles that are used in communist and Nazi countries. They really are. Even the way they went and arrested these people on January 6th, with stormtroopers. Just regular people.

I mean, a lot of them were just there, they didn't even know why, they were there to protest an election, and I'm gonna tell you something and everybody can go pound sand if they want. The election was stolen. I know it. I've seen the evidence. It was absolutely stolen.
