EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): For the past three and a half years, Rudy Giuliani has been using his talk shows (one of them was at WABC Radio, owned by John Catsimatides’ Red Apple Group) to blast the many flaws of the 2020 elections. Above all, he was fighting for freedom of speech and the First Amendment. But two weeks ago, as Helleniscope reported (link here), Newsmax, which is being sued by Dominion Systems (which was already awarded an unexplainably enormous amount of $800 million in an out-of-court settlement with Fox News, subpoenaed Catsimatidis to testify in this case based on the continuous attacks by Giuliani regarding the validity of the elections, including the worthiness of the Dominion machines. Said Newsmax: Why didn’t Dominion Systems sue WABC Radio, which has a huge audience of millions of listeners? The role of Karloutsos, Catsimatides’ “koumbaro” (best man), was implied in all this. It was Karloutsos who suddenly approached the Greek-Canadian CEO of Dominion, John Poulos, and (apparently representing the Biden White House and the “Deep State”) who put in motion the whole “lawsuit machine” by Dominion.
Catsimatidis did not want to get involved in the subpoena and be forced to produce all kinds of emails, tax/income statements, and other documents. So, he fired Giuliani in a scathing way, claiming that Giuliani had violated the terms of his contract or some type of warning. Giuliani refused all that and called Catsimatides all kinds of names: “Dishonorable,” “Weasel,” etc.

Rudy Giuliani blasts WABC for firing over election talk — as Catsimatidis doubles down that he ‘had no choice’ but to suspend him: ‘He went berserk’
Ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed WABC radio canned him from his daily show to appease “trailer trash little creep” President Biden — accusing the station of harboring a hostile work environment.
The once-beloved “America’s Mayor” blasted station owner John Catsimatidis as a hypocrite who touts the right to free speech while stopping Giuliani from “telling the truth” about the “stolen” 2020 presidential election.
“What John Catsimatidis has done is disgraceful. With the pretense that he was building some kind of a First Amendment station, he blew a hole in the First Amendment that’s so big you can’t even find it. You can’t tell somebody not to talk about the 2020 presidential election and tell me that you have a respect for free speech,” Giuliani said on his “America’s Mayor Live” show on X Friday night.
“Isn’t that a test? All the good people are the ones who want to speak and the bad people are the ones who want to stop people from speaking. Nobody can really learn about it … And isn’t it a hell of a time to stop me from doing what I’ve been doing for 3-and-a-half years — just when they may be preparing to steal another election?”
Hours earlier, he was cut from the station’s “The Rudy Giuliani Show” for allegedly violating a company-wide policy “not to state, suggest or imply that the election results are not valid.”
However, billionaire supermarket mogul and station owner Catsimatidis told The Post late Friday that Giuliani had been slapped with a written warning just a day before to avoid the topic of a stolen election — a disproven conspiracy.
Instead of complying, the disgraced former mayor fired off a text declaring his intention to ignore “every order” in the letter, which he rebuffed as “overbroad.”
“I had no choice but to suspend him. What media company wouldn’t suspend him based on that?” Catsimatidis said on a call shortly after Giuliani’s fiery X broadcast.
“I said to him, you’re suspended, let’s sit down and talk on Monday, and then he went berserk on us.”
The mogul said that once they told the ex-mayor that he wasn’t allowed to go on the air for his 3 p.m. show, he became “belligerent.”
Asked whether Giuliani’s actions after learning of his suspension could lead to him being fired, Catsimatidis said, “We’re meeting on Monday to decide what our next step is.
“Most likely the suspension will be permanent based on what he’s doing tonight.”
“He did it to himself,” said Catsimatidis, who runs Red Apple Media.
But according to Giuliani, he had never been told about the policy.
Even more disorienting, he claimed the “stolen” 2020 election was a main focus of his show, which he has been hosting since 2021.
“Those of you who listen to me on WABC or this show are going to find it very, very strange to believe that there was such a policy,” Giuliani said.
“If I didn’t talk about the 2020 presidential election, I wouldn’t been on the air for the last five years. You watch me. I talked about it every day, every night. It’s a substantial part of my show.
“If it was such a policy, I’d have to be crazy to keep doing it. Or I’d have to say the policy is meaningless.”
Giuliani accused of Catsimatidis of firing him in an attempt to get in good with the Democrats, who he claimed are gearing up to steal another presidential election.
“The Democrat thing has something to do with it. And the fact that the Bidens are really zeroing in now on interference with the 2024 election. And remember, we can go right back to the beginning. The first thing Biden did as a candidate is write a letter to the network saying to keep me off,” Giuliani claimed.
“He began as a trailer trash little creep taking little bits with his scummy little brothers. And now he’s a world-class thief. Somehow strangely, he’s President of the United States.”
According to the former mayor, WABC also cut his co-host Dr. Maria Ryan, whom he encouraged to sue the radio station for a hostile work environment.
Giuliani didn’t get into specifics, but said she was “treated horribly as a woman” and implied the treatment extended to all women in the workplace.
The canning — costing Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer his $15,000-per-month salary — is the latest in a series of financial blows.
He faces a mountain of legal bills to fight criminal cases in Arizona and Georgia, where he was charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election — as well as multiple civil cases, including by the voting machine firms Dominion and Smartmatic and a former associate who accused him of sexual assault.What do you think? Post a comment.
Working as a lawyer himself is off the table, too. Giuliani, who is also a former federal prosecutor, had his law license suspended in New York City in 2021.
He faces disbarment for “his utter disregard for facts,” which “denigrate the legal profession,” a panel said last year.

Another sad bombshell news story this is to listen to and read. Thank you Helleniscope for reminding us of the history of Red Apple Media and Rudy Giulian’s radio show.
I say: Produce the document Mr. Catsimatidis, that specifically states the lies you propagate to cover for the egregious crimes committed and that you say, was in writing to the esteemed former Governor since the inception of his radio show on WABC Radio.
Does one really believe that John Catsimatidis is truly a Republican who stands for Freedom of the press and the right to speak? He may be a RINO, but certainly not the alt right Christian Republican one would think as necessary criteria for being an “Archon” to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
Hey I know, these fat cats are just like the pseudo Republicans still barely hanging on to office milking the sheep for their miserable paychecks and peddling influences.
How many lies does it take to constitute the truth? Has perception become reality? If so, we have all entered into the Twilight Zone.
Holy cow! Rudy went belligerent?
I’m confused:
how could John Catsimatides be working to appease the democrats when he stands for Donald Trump? Even raised big money for Trump just weeks ago?
His “koumparo”, Karloutsos made a deal for him with Dominion: Fire Rudy and you will not be subpoenaed or otherwise questioned…
😂😂😂
Oh no Prince of Darkness strikes again.
Hey Nick .. I do not agree with you …that kouloutsos and his deal is the biggest part of this story ..and in fact just a distraction from the real story….
The truth is , Catsimatidis, like any other Corporate head can fire anybody for anything , including insubordination in not complying with mandates issued by Catsimatidis without any legal recourse ! However the timing of this dismissal and the circumstances surrounding this dismissal clearly indicate that… Catsimatidis, a Republican supporter of not only Trump but Rudy G. was threatened with harm to his business and himself by the prosecutors of the U.S. Congress committee led by Party leaders of the Democratic Party Chuck Shummer, Adam Shiff and Jerry Nadler who led the impeachment proceeding against “Alleged” Donald Trump “criminal activities” in undermining the legitimacy of the2020 elections …in order to “Extort and Coerce” him to cooperate in harming and destroying the political, legal and business career of Rudy G to punish him for insubordination for testifying to the Criminal activities of the competing Criminal Enterprise of the Democratic Party!
Rupert Murdock another billionaire , like Catsimatides and owner of the Fox News Network , and Pundit of Donald Trump and Republican Party also fired Tucker Carlson because Democratic Senate leader Chuck Shummer (alias “Bugsy Segal”) , abused his power of office to threaten him with harm , and also extort and coerce his cooperation to suppress testimony by Tucker Carlson to the criminal activities of Shummer committee of the Capital Hill insurrection in distorting the truth about the staged Capital hill violence and the evidence that the FBI and Informants had orchestrated and coordinated the riots!
The real story here ..is not kouloutsos or anybody else making deals to spare Catsimatides from being subpenoe, but that Shummer and other members of the democratic party “Abused their powers of office to violate Rico Act laws by their Criminal enterprises.. which include abuse of Power, Blackmail , Extortion , Coercion, fraud and bribery etc etc….and I can prove it !
Schumer: “Rupert Murdoch has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight [and] from letting him go on again and again and again [because] our democracy depends on it.” pic.twitter.com/uld
“It’s about time. For far too long, Tucker Carlson has used his primetime show to spew anti-semetic racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTQ hate to millions. @ADL has long called for his firing for this and many other offenses, including spreading the Great Replacement Theory. https://t.co/06LjNYYnpY

Thank you for your educational comment!
Don’t thank me, thank Nick!
However , the point is , We are funding a government run by Organized Crime Syndicates who parade thru the Halls of our Congress !
You think Shummer is bad .. my congressmen of New Jersey even boasts about his crimes to me and the constituents of New Jersey ! As you must be aware , Students on campuses have been protesting and testifying to the genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people by the “Already indicted Netanyahue self proclaimed Jewish Zionist Government and a First Amendment right of our Constitution! And because the President of Universities of America did not do enough to suppress the first amendment rights of the students ordered the firing of these University president , and now you know why University President suspended and arrested those college student on their campuses for openly being Anti =semetic and Anti-Zionist in opposing the immoral policies of the U.S government and Israel!
I am not kidding .. he actually confessed to his crimes and actually proudly boasted to me how he used and abused the power of his office to do what he did to Castsimanides , extort , Blackmail , coerce University boards to fire their Presidents, or be harmed in some manner ..like government funded research or military projects ..who knows!
“As you may know, presidents from some our nation’s top universities are being criticized over testimony they gave at a congressional hearing where they were unable to say under repeated questioning that calls on college campuses for the genocide of Jews would violate the school’s conduct policy.”
“On December 8th, Congressman Kean joined 73 fellow Members of Congress in calling for those presidents’ resignation . On December 9th, Liz Magill, U. Penn’s president, and board chair resigned their positions “.
This is the same guy , whose is funding the percecution of the Orthodox Chruch of the Ukraine and the genocide of the people of Palestine!
All their CRIMES ARE LEGAL…and no International Crime Syndicate can get away with breaking all the laws without the cooperation of the Law Enforcement agencies and the Justice Department of America!
