Rudy Giuliani picks up gig with Steve Bannon immediately after being fired from radio

Former New York City mayor and close Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani suffered a new financial blow, with WABC canceling his radio show after he repeatedly refused to follow a policy that prohibits him from pushing 2020 presidential election denial on air.

But no sooner did that happen than Giuliani received a big break — former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has pledged to hire him in an on-air segment of his own War Room show on the far-right service Real America's Voice.

"Rudy, I want to announce right now, Real America's Voice ... are gonna put their heads together and ask how we can get Rudy ... over to Real America's Voice," said Bannon. "Because that might be the last platform of freedom in this country."

Ironically, the owner of WABC, John Catsimatidis, is himself a staunch Republican. However, he said of the decision to dismiss Giuliani, "We warned him once. We warned him twice. And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it. So he left me no option. I suspended him."

Giuliani is currently in a dire financial situation. In addition to all the legal fees to defend himself against criminal charges in Arizona and Georgia for his role in alleged election subversion plots, he is on the hook for a $148 million defamation judgment to Atlanta poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he repeatedly claimed with no evidence were trying to falsily ballots during the 2020 election count.

He subsequently declared bankruptcy, and in court filings for that proceeding, listed the WABC radio show as one of his primary sources of income, in addition to Social Security benefits and the money from his podcast.
