Rudy vs Piers Morgan: Partial Transcript

This is a quickly put-together transcript of the exchange from this post which documents an interview between Rudy Giuliani and Piers Morgan that goes completely off the rails. I just felt like doing this for the pure joy of it.

Thanks to kingofalldems for the original post.

There’s crosstalk between Rudy and Piers, so some of the dialogue is missing.


Rudy: You’re a disgrace! This interview is over as far as I’m concerned.

Piers: You sound completely barking mad. You know that.

Rudy: No I don’t!

Piers: You’ve lost the plot.

Rudy: You are a big liar!

Piers: You’ve lost the plot. And it’s sad to see.

Rudy: You, you, you’re the one that got thrown off the television!

Piers: Yeah?

Rudy: Because you had ratings that were about a 2! So don’t tell me I’ve lost anything!

Piers: Keep going, Rudy.

Rudy: I know what happened to your show, Piers! And I remember the mistakes you made!

Piers: I remember…

Rudy: And I remember how you (“sucked” or “f#$ked”) up! So don’t give me that stuff, I know who you are!

Piers: Well, we’d like to apologize for the language.

Rudy: You can say anything you want about me, but you’re defaming my president, and you are helping to create violence in this country (by) the way you’re covering this.

Piers: When I used to interview you, you were an intelligent, reasonable man. And you’ve gone completely mad, and you sound deranged… It’s really sad to see what’s happened to you.

Rudy: It was really sad to see the way your career imploded in the United States, Piers!

Piers: Yeah?

Rudy: If you think I have any respect for you after this. Well, maybe you don’t care. But everyone in America knows you’re a failed journalist!

Piers: Really? Well you know what?

(Three people talking over each other, then they argue about the lack of gun control in the U.S.)

Rudy: But I tried to keep my mouth shut about you because I liked you.

Piers: Well you’ve come on here.

Rudy: You were thrown out of your job!

Pies: You’ve come on here, you’ve been rude and abusive, you sound unhinged, you’ve been using profanity.

Rudy: I haven’t been rude!

Piers: And you were somebody I used to admire, Rudy.

Rudy: I didn’t use profanity! Tell me what profanity I used?

Woman: Okay. Rudy Giuliani, thanks very much indeed.

Rudy: What profanity did I use, liar? What profanity did I use!

Woman: Well I don’t think we can repeat it, unfortunately.

Rudy: I didn’t use any profanity!

Woman: Well, what words did you use that we misheard in the studio?

Rudy: You tell me the profanity that I used! That’s exactly what you do to President Trump!

Woman: Rudy Giuliani, thank you very much indeed.

End Interview

Sorry for “Woman” but I don’t know who this third person is in the interview.

(Any mistakes are mine alone).

abusive, he sounds unhinged, and he used profanity. How far he's fallen from grace. Pathetic.

I'm surprised that anyone wants to interview rudy g. for anything worth talking about. I'd rather talk to my flowers, I'd gain far more in that conversation than one w/ rudy g. 'the mouth'.

Does Trump really like this in Rudy?

On second thought, who cares?
