Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and suspended attorney John Eastman appeared on a podcast this week and discussed the 2020 election.

During a panel with right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon on Monday, both men suggested the 2020 election had been stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Giuliani also griped about his recent firing from WABC radio after breaking station rules about discussing the 2020 election.

"They fired us, and I began, without missing a beat, yesterday morning, 10 o'clock on Covering the Truth, Dr. [Maria] Ryan and I with probably one of the biggest audiences we ever had, and we told a story of what happened in Georgia because it's all being done for the purpose that the professor [Eastman] so brilliantly pointed out," Giuliani said, praising Eastman's take on the 2020 election.

"This is being done now because we're getting close to 2024, and if you can shut us up, myself, Eastman, you, whatever, about 2020, much better chance of stealing 2024," he added.

Bannon interrupted: "This is the key. This is why they're putting all the pressure on now. They understand they're losing. They understand they couldn't stop Trump."

"They understand they have to steal 2024, so what they wanna do first is shut up everybody about 2020," he remarked. "They're trying to make any discussion of 2020 so toxic that you're immediately deplatformed, you're fired, you're disbarred because they understand if you shut that down and terrify people about that, you won't have the fighters at the cutting edge to say no, you're not gonna steal 2024."

Eastman quickly insisted that he and Giuliani were not discussing the 2020 election with each other despite appearing on the same podcast to talk about the 2020 election.

"I think it's important to clarify, Rudy and I are not talking about anything substantive with each other about the 2020 election," he asserted. "That would put us in trouble with a court order down in Georgia."

After being charged in a Georgia election conspiracy, Giuliani, Eastman, and other co-defendants were ordered not to discuss the case with each other.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scot McAfee has previously considered revoking the bonds of other co-defendants who skirted his order forbidding them from discussing the 2020 election.
