Rudy Giuliani: America’s Mayor to the Melting Hair with Andrew Kirtzman

A few decades ago, Rudy Giuliani was known as “America’s Mayor” with an approval rating of over 90%. His response to the tragedy of 9/11 made him a national hero. The fame he garnered, however, ultimately became the seeds of his undoing, leading to a lengthy series of moral compromises. Author and ex-host of “Inside City Hall,” Andrew Kirtzman, wrote a new book called “Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America’s Mayor.” He joined Errol Louis on this week’s “You Decide” to discuss the story of Giuliani. Their conversation covered Giuliani working-class upbringing, his disinterest in the 1960s counterculture, his incredible success as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his misguided mission in the Ukraine to find some dirt on Joe Biden through his decision to align himself with former president Donald Trump. Errol Louis also shared some of his own memories of covering Giuliani over the years.

Andrew Kirtzman: The rise and fall of Rudy Giuliani

In the fall of 1974, a young ambitious prosecutor was grilling a powerful US Congressman on trial for corruption. The prosecutor's cross examination was unforgiving. He had confronted the Congressman with checks from business interests that he had promoted and bombarded him relentlessly with tough questions. After a break, the Congressman threw in the towel and pled guilty. An amazing turn of the tables that handed the young prosecutor his first major triumph. The prosecutor's name, Rudy Giuliani. And it was the first of many headline making triumphs as he went on to serve as a top Justice Department Official, a mob-busting US Attorney, and of course as  America's Mayor who guided NYC during its darkest hours and days in the aftermath of September 11th. What's endlessly fascinating  about those early triumphs is that they were followed by one of the most  spectacular falls from grace that any public figure has experienced in living memory. A man once widely revered, even Knighted by the Queen of England, has ended up as a nearly pathetic laughing stock with significant legal exposure thanks to a considerable degree to his role as consigliere to Donald Trump. It's a story masterfully told by veteran journalist Andrew Kirtzman in his new book, Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America's Mayor. We talk to Kirtzman about his new book and Giuliani's legacy. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
