Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner raked Rudy Giuliani over the coals on his latest "Justice Matters" episode after a judge dismissed Giuliani's bankruptcy proceedings, proclaiming that he "can't even do bankruptcy right."

Further, they claimed to have walked around and asked people if they were citizens and if they were voting in the 2024 election.
