Appearing on MSNBC on Mother's Day afternoon, one of Donald Trump's former communication directors claimed he has no doubts that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will offer up everything he has on Donald Trump to stay out of jail.
Speaking with host Alex Witt, Anthony Scaramucci stated that he has a longtime relationship with Giuliani and that the man who was formerly known as "America's mayor" has indicated in the past that he has "insurance" in case he is somehow facing legal problems related to Trump.
"How much do you think Trump has to fear from Rudy Giuliani?" the MSNBC host asked in reference to Giuliani having his phones and computers confiscated by federal authorities.
"Well, I have to see how this thing unfolds," Scaramucci began. "I think the mayor gave a tell several months back where he said he had insurance -- I'm sure he does have insurance. So, if they're bringing down Mr.Giuliani and, you know, if [ex-Trump attorney] Michael Cohen is correct, if you're raiding somebody's apartment, you know, you're getting close to potentially pressing charges."
"If they're bringing him down, he's going to implicate President Trump," he continued. "I think there are no ifs, and or buts about that. How big of an implication, I don't know but it seems like all of this is tied back to Ukraine."
"Give me an example of why you say there's no ifs, ands or buts about that. Do you think Rudy Giuliani will turn on Donald Trump?" host Witt asked.
"One hundred percent," the former White House officials quickly replied. "It's not because he's a bad guy, but it's just not the way things work. My friend Michael Cohen said he would take a bullet for the president, but, you know, when push came to shove and it was about his family and protecting his wife and children, he's got a priority to that. And I think the mayor has said 'look, I've got insurance. if you guys are coming after me and only me.' I think he's prepared to use that insurance. And I think when you're in a situation like that, it's a very rare instance where you don't start implicating the other people around you that are part of that plot."

Fox News hosts fret over 'woke' liberal plot to turn Mother's Day into 'Birthing People's Day'
May 09, 2021
The hosts of Fox & Friends expressed concern on Sunday that liberals are plotting to turn Mother's Day into "Birthing People's Day."
"If you're a lefty, it might be happy Birthing People's Day," Fox News co-host Pete Hegseth announced. "Seriously! This is Democrats -- the new phrase they want to use is, you're not a mother. Nope! Done! You're a birthing person."
Hegseth pointed to a House committee hearing where the phrase "birthing people" was used on at least two occasions. However, the terms "mothers" and "moms" were also used.
Co-host Jedidiah Bila echoed the remarks of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who lashed out at "woke" liberals over the phrase.
"I could not agree more," Bila said. "Let me tell you something. I birthed a baby. I am a mom. I am proud of myself. I am always astonished at my body. I'm like, you know what? We're super heroes. We women are super heroes for being able to do that. I want proper credit."
Hegseth recalled that he had once tried to experience the pain of childbirth during a Fox & Friends segment in 2019.
"Thank God for women," co-host Lawrence Jones said. "God designed them to give birth because, whew, I can do a lot of things. I don't think that's for me."
"Yep," Bila agreed. "We have a higher pain tolerance. And I did it without drugs."
"But I'm officially a birthing person," Hegseth noted. "Next time someone tells you that, tell them you're insane! They are moms and they give birth."

'My, how the mighty have fallen': Lindsey Graham mocked by ex-RNC official for latest suck-up to Trump
May 09, 2021
Appearing on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele both lamented the Republican Party's complete capitulation to Donald Trump and then mocked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for claiming that the one-term president is the future of the party.
Noting Graham's comments on Fox News where he stated, "I would just say to my Republican colleagues, can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no," Steele said the GOP has been brought to a new low.
'My, how the mighty have fallen and sunken to the lowest of lows that Donald Trump is your savior," he began. "The reality of it is Donald Trump five years ago was someone that everyone was like, 'why is he here?' and now they are kicking everyone else out of the room because he is here."
"It speaks of desperation -- desperation of leadership, desperation for ideas, desperation for a way to move the country forward and embrace its diversity," he continued. "That's what Liz Cheney is trying, has been trying to tell them and she has shown the leadership, which they are threatened by, as one of her caucus members put it, you know, 'she's like that girlfriend who doesn't listen to you.' Really? that's your go-to with Liz Cheney? That tells you where we are."
