Go along with the team as they knock on doors and track down the people who were at the center of the news. This season, we’re taking a deep dive into the life and career of Rudy Giuliani, one of the most influential politicians in New York City’s recent history. Before he was disbarred and bankrupt, before all the trouble, Giuliani rose to prominence as a prosecutor and a politician. As America’s mayor, he had one of the highest approval ratings of all time among New Yorkers. He was even knighted by the Queen of England. So, how does that person end up bankrupt and ridiculed? How did America’s Mayor end up betraying the very values he built his career on?
