Watch: Rudy Reduced To Peddling Cigars And Gold Coins On YouTube

Reprinted with permission from Alternet

Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney of Donald Trump, has repeatedly and thoroughly discredited himself by pushing far-fetched lies about how President-elect Joe Biden allegedly stole the election. But just when you thought he couldn't get any lower, he's now on YouTube selling cigars and gold coins on his personal YouTube channel.

As Giuliani's 473,000+ subscribers on YouTube channel already know, the former New York mayor releases a weekly show of conservative spin. The most recent installment claims that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was colluding with Ukraine to benefit Biden, and the Democrats are all corrupt criminals and so on and so forth.

But the true highlights(?) of his program are the commercials featuring him hawking commemorative coins and smokes. Here's a taste.



"If you want a good cigar, go to a good cigar shop. If you want the best, go to Famous Smoke shop," he begins. "Let Famous Smoke deliver your favorite cigars right to your doorstep at America's lowest price.... From affordable everyday smokes to high-end luxury cigars for your next special occasion."

His coin advertisement is a bit more groan-worthy:

"I accomplished a lot in 2020, exposing the truth, establishing the relationship with you, working tirelessly for America. And I came to know the work and value of the people at American Hartford gold. You see, you buy gold, not only for what you know. But you buy gold for what you don't know," he says. "Give them a call and tell them, Ruby sent you. And be sure to ask them what I bought. And if you call them right now, they will give you up to $1,500 of free silver on your first order. Folks, these are uncertain times. The one thing you can count on, to protect what you have worked so hard for, is physical gold and silver."

While it's hardly shocking for celebrities to appear in commercials for extra money, it's rare if not completely unprecedented that the president's own lawyer should push smokes and coins in their own self-published show of conspiracy theories.

If you simply must, you can watch Giuliani's coin advertisement in the video below from 10:56 to 12:29. The cigar ad runs from 21:50 to 23:20.

California Couple’s Rare Coin Find Will Let Them Keep Home

California Couple’s Rare Coin Find Will Let Them Keep Home

By Ruben Vives, Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The California couple who found a buried cache of 19th century gold coins say they will use the proceeds — which experts say could amount to more than $10 million — to hold on to their home.

The couple, identified by the firm representing them only as “John” and “Mary,” made the find during one of their daily walks on their property in California’s gold country. Eight of the rusty cans they dug up were filled with more than 1,400 rare and perfectly preserved U.S. gold coins dating from 1847 to 1894, according to Donald Kagin, president of Kagin’s Inc., a numismatic firm that specializes in U.S. gold coins and represents the couple.

Kagin’s announced the discovery Tuesday.

Kagin said the coins have a face value of more than $28,000 but could sell for more than $10 million.

In an interview with the firm posted online, the couple said they plan to keep some of the coins and sell others on Amazon.com and use the money to hold on to their home. They did not explain further.

“Whatever answers you seek, they might be right at home,” Mary said. “The answer to our difficulties was right there under our feet for years.”

“Don’t be above bending over to check on a rusty can,” she added.

The couple also said they intend to donate part of the proceeds to charity.

Rare coin experts say it is the greatest buried treasure ever unearthed in the United States.

The previous largest reported find of buried gold treasure in the U.S. had a face value of $4,500. It was discovered by construction workers in 1985 in Jackson, Tenn., and eventually sold for around $1 million.

The coins found by John and Mary were authenticated, graded and certified by Professional Coin Grading Service in Irvine, Kagin said.

A sampling of the collection will be displayed at Kagin’s booth during the American Numismatic Association National Money Show in Atlanta that will run Thursday through Saturday.
