Stephen K. Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians not get a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Rogan O'Handley
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.
Stephen K. Bannon
I wish that any of these had a conscience. Ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, Friday the 30th of May, year of our Lord 2025 man, where did May go? One issue we've been dealing with here that we have to and by the way, tomorrow for two hours we're going to walk through the Chinese commun party war against the United States and particularly President Trump and the Trump administration. We're getting to that in some level of depth. Besides breaking a ton of news like we do on Saturdays. Want to go to There is a Chinese Communist Party inspired coup with one of our greatest allies in South Korea and as sure as the turning of the earth if we lose this election to the CCP sponsored progressive progressive party over there that will be a preamble to the invasion of Taiwan. What's happening around Taiwan right now with the People's Liberation Navy and the People's Liberation army are not exercises as Captain Fennell says this is a rehearsal. This is their ready. Japan's financial markets are collapsing because it can't finance anything. Now you got Korea on the cusp right now of actually flipping to a CCP sponsored government. And once they've got that folks Katie, bar the door on on Taiwan because they're doing detailed rehearsals right now. Let's go to Seoul, South Korea. We've got Ambassador Tan, we got Colonel John Mills, Colonel Grant Newsham. Ambassador, can you give us perspective from when we talked to you a couple of days ago? Where do we stand right now?
Morse H. Tan
So early voting finished today and all sorts of evidence is coming up in regards to election fraud. There are there have been ballots that were preset for Lee Jim Young that have been found. There have been ballots for Kim and Soo that have been shredded. There are various indications of election fraud going on so much so that even legacy media in South Korea like KBS and NBC are even reporting on it. And there's a lot of passion and energy amongst those who really want their democracy to continue on. We were just at a rally in front of the National Election Commission earlier tonight, and you should have been there. It was amazing, the energy. And you know, we would really love to appeal to our government to engage in some public diplomacy. It would make such a huge difference. It would be so timely and it could make a world of difference if President Trump, if Congress, if Secretary of State Rubio were willing to make statements in regards to South Korea. It could make a world of difference, let me tell you.
Stephen K. Bannon
But Ambassador, hold hangover a second. I think you. I don't think they want to intrude in an election unless there's pretty hard evidence. Remember, we had the 2020 election stolen from us. We're still not in a federal court anywhere. I don't see the FBI doing an investigation. We keep saying this is the railhead of everything we have to do to roll through the FBI, the doj, the deep state, all of it. You got to go back to the beginning, which is a stolen 2020 election. We ain't making a lot of progress here. And a guy named Donald John Trump got a real interest in that. Like every public announcement he makes goes back to the stolen election. What do we have that is at that level of seriousness now that Rubio? Because remember, South Korea is one of our greatest allies. There's no doubt about that. The issue is how much you actually intrude into politics even and understand the CCP's all over it. But what can you actually show as far as a compelling case that you need to do this now because it's going to blow up that, oh, Trump's an election denier and they're already in election denying mode. Sir.
Morse H. Tan
Let me be clear. I'm not asking for interference, but I am asking for, say, a supportive statement about the democracy in South Korea. It does not have to be accusatory. It does not have to in any way interfere with what is going on here. Simply a statement of support at this time. Even something as general as that could really help. We have had various people who are personally going into voting sites to monitor the election, and they are tabulating the number of votes and the number of votes that they are finding all across the country. As the NEC has been announcing their numbers on hourly basis. There has been a substantial discrepancy between the NEC numbers and the ones that are the election minders. These are domestic South Korean citizens who care about their country, who are going to all the 3,500 or so places and they are ambassador and they're having these results country.
Stephen K. Bannon
When you say significant discrepancy keeps a math. Is it 1%, 3%, 5%? When you say significant discrepancy percentage basis what is.
Morse H. Tan
Varies depending on the location. Some places it's 20%, some places 30%. There are some places where it's even higher. We've had some jaw dropping numbers frankly from being reported by some of these observers, but 20 to 30 is more on the lower end of what we've.
Stephen K. Bannon
Been hearing is the Korean media. I don't see a meltdown of the Korean media. I mean 20, 30% A. That's a number. Okay, that gets your attention. Is the Korean media all over this? They just looking the way and should the government, U.S. government talk about the involvement of the Chinese Communist Party here and what is a coup? That's what I want to see. But is there enough evidence of that you think they can get into 20, 30% right there? I mean come on. How can, how can the Korean people feel comfortable they're going to have an honest election if it's that type of discrepancy?
Morse H. Tan
You're exactly right. And it is stunning that the legacy media which had been silent about this, there had been a conspiracy of silence. They're even covering this now. And that is stunning. It's highly significant. It's not just the conservative YouTubers who are covering this. Even the legacy media in South Korea is covering election fraud, election irregularities, these things that are being uncovered. People taking ballots with them to restaurants. There's various things that are being uncovered more and more.
Stephen K. Bannon
Wow. Wow. And so Mills, you and Newsham are dialed in. Are we getting this information to people? I mean we'll get involved now if it's 30%, give me the information. We'll see. Because we've been banging people behind the scenes and there's a lot of people with eyeballs on it. People are kind of hesitant, but people. You're talking 30%. How can Rubio not say something? How can, how can our. The DHS guys that do the cyber. How can they not say something? But. But can you actually show them it's 20 to 30%, sir?
Colonel John Mills
Yeah. They are running multiple insurance operations to make insurance policies to make sure they come. They come with the outcome they are, they are hoping for. So it's ambiguity on the machines, lack of clarity there. They're handing out ballots. Ballots are pre voted, ballots are pre signed. I mean it is just all over the map. This is. They are Running multiple insurance policies to make sure they have the outcome.
Stephen K. Bannon
But hang on, what is. What is. Okay, fine, but what is the Korean look, you've had this problem so far, kind of a lack of urgency and fight in the conservative party in Korea. Are they now up on the ramparts? Are they now engaged in this fight that it's clearly being stolen in front of their eyes? They already had their president turfed out. It was obviously a coup over what, wait for it. Election integrity. Are these. And they really went along without a peep. Are they prepared? Are they stepping up today, the people of South Korea, the conservatives of South Korea at the, on the rooftops and on the ramparts, sir.
Colonel John Mills
They really are. Now here's an important point of order or attack angle, however you want to call it. If Lee wins, he could immediately be under sanction for he can't even travel outside of his country because he has violated both US And UN sanctions on giving money to North Korea.
Stephen K. Bannon
I know, okay, fine. But that's the thing. Afterwards we got, we got to stop it now. If you get afterwards, yes, there'll be all kinds of sanctions potentially for the investigation, but they'll get rid of all that. They'll find a way to get rid of all that and they'll be in control. That's got to stop this.
Colonel John Mills
That's our sanctions.
Stephen K. Bannon
I know this, but that's, I love that. But that's a secondary thing right now. What are they doing about the election fraud or people. I saw some of the footage of people going to the polling stations. But this is the elections on Tuesday, correct? I mean, we're down to it. And I hear that there's, there's record numbers showing up. Are these just record manufacturing numbers? Are these the mythical 6 million votes of Joe Biden that showed up in 2020 and we've never seen again. We didn't see the 22 midterm and guess what? They didn't come out and vote against Trump or for Biden in 24. Those mythical 6 million ballots, is that what we're seeing here?
Colonel John Mills
This is the 81 million vote count all over again. Multiple insurance policies to make sure they, they get the numbers they want.
Stephen K. Bannon
And this is how you get in the all time. Is the all time records I keep hearing about every day. Is that skewed towards them, you think, or is that a dumb question?
Colonel John Mills
Well, of course it is. I mean the energy is out there. There is. This is much different though, than Taiwan. Taiwan was raucous, energetic electioneering and because they've, they've for the last 30 years, this slow python squeeze on South Korean society by the Chinese Communist Party. You, you walk around, it's like, is there an election going on? I mean, it is almost silent out there. That's because the Chinese Communist Party has been at work for 30 years here.
Stephen K. Bannon
Colonel Newsom, am I wrong? You wrote the great book When China Attacks. Am I wrong about the dominoes here? If we lose this election on Tuesday and the financial situation in Japan stays as turbulent as it is, is this their tee up to actually take? Because they're rehearsing right now. You do agree that they're going to move on Taiwan, sir?
Colonel Grant Newsham
They just might. The election goes the wrong way on the third, but what you'll see is the culmination of a systematic effort by hardcore Korean leftists to turn the country into a one party state that is aligned with North Korea and the Chinese Communist Party and wants to end the U.S. alliance. And that's been the objective and it's within reach. The one thing I would add to the previous discussion is that during the first Trump administration, when Moon Jae in was the President of South Korea, they stilettoed the press with tax audits, libel suits, etc. And they've thoroughly intimidated, emasculated it, even the conservative press. So that's already been done and that's why you don't hear much from it. But what has developed is an alternative media, which is ultimately YouTubers and some of these have huge followings and get immense sort of coverage. But you also find that if people raise the issue of election fraud or integrity and even just say, you know, we ought to have a free election, they will find the prosecutors and the cops show up at their door and you can get imprisoned for saying this. So the people who have an interest in this, they are under a lot of pressure and even just a kind word would be very helpful for them. But as I said, we are within the last steps of an effort to turn it into a one party state. And successive US Administrations have not paid enough attention to this. And these people have nowhere to go. We could always go to Texas or Florida. They don't have anywhere to go. And I say just a properly worded statement of support would help them and put the bad guys on notice as well that the US Is actually paying attention.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, hang on. I'm going to hold you through the break. We're jammed here, but we'll figure it out. I want, I got a question to Ambassador Tan. We're looking for the answer on the Other side of the commercial break Ambassador, what is your specific call to action for the War Room posse and what is your specific call to action to the United States government, particularly Secretary of State Marco Rubio? Short break. We're going to return in a moment to Seoul, South Korea. If you've ever spent any time in Korea, the Korean people are fantastic. I'm telling you, they're on the cusp of a coup in broad daylight. A coup in broad daylight by the Chinese Communist Party. And you're right, they've been working on this for 20, 25 years like they've been working on here in the United States of America. That's why all 350,000 students, bang. Got to go. Remember, President Trump wanted to staple a green card to their graduation. Now they said they got to exit. President Trump looked at the numbers and understand what the problem is. Short break. Back in the warm. In a moment. There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer and animal feed and farming equipment. Why? It's not clear. They're tightening the grip on global food production. That is clear. And if things go south and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready. That's why I trust my Patriot supply. They're America's largest emergency preparedness company.

Mike Davis
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, Ambassador, call to action for our audience and call to action for what you would like to see from the US Government that we will work on. What do you got for us?
Morse H. Tan
Yes, I think a statement indicating U.S. support for a fair, transparent election with democracy, with integrity, in support of democracy would be immensely helpful. The Korean people are yearning, they are starved to know that our government is noticing and cares about what is happening. And believe me, it would make an immense difference for even a simple statement like that and something akin to that to be put forward. And those of us, those who are watching, if you could flood Congress, our executive branch, with your calls for them to do so. South Korea does not have much time left and this is really go time for there to be a clear word from our government. And finally, I would just want to say pray, pray and pray some more. There are a lot of praying people here in South Korea, and I think an appeal to the sovereign of the universe is critical at this time. And so that would be perhaps the most important thing that I would say.
Stephen K. Bannon
But God works through human agency, through human instruments. So we got to get up on it. Thank you, Ambassador. Social media for you and then John and Colonel Newsham for the next. And by the way, we're going to lead the Saturday show. We're going to have Dr. Bradley Thayer, who's in career also. He's going to join us and get us updated. Guys, social media, where do people find you over these critical next couple of three days?
Morse H. Tan
Well, I just for for this purpose, I got on to X and Truth Social and so I could be found Morse H. Tan on both of those platforms. I'm brand new to both of them. I'm also on Facebook. Morse Tan on Facebook.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, Colonel Mills, where to go?
Colonel John Mills

Colonel Grant Newsham
Colonel Newsom sure, I'm on X at, at Newsham, Grant and www.grant newsom.com or at the center for Security Policy website.
Stephen K. Bannon
If you want to read a book that's ripped from today's headlines, read when China attacks. It'll keep you up at night and it should keep you up at night. Gentlemen, thank you so much. And we'll get on it. Grace, Bill Blaster, maybe this one goes right to the White House switchboard. I'll talk to you, Grace, right after the show. Grace Chong is on point on this thing. Very disturbing. 20 and 30% discrepancies already in the early vote. I've got Rogan, O' Hanley's on. Mike Davis going to join us a little while we're jam. We're going to get it all done. Rogan, the president put a shot across the bow of Leonard Leo in the Federalist Society. That was like sacrosanct, sacred ground. The Federalist Society that work with us for the judges and US Attorneys and all that. You have followed up and supported the president on Twitter this morning. What's going on?
Rogan O'Handley
Well, in full disclosure, I also levied a shot across the bow about a month ago once the New Civil Liberties alliance, the ncla, which is like a conservative aclu, filed a lawsuit against Trump to stop his tariffs. Right. So this organization, which I will give some credit to, helped overturn the Chevron decision, right? Very, very, very important. And then they followed up with a lawsuit against President Trump to help rectify these rigged trade deals that have hollowed out the middle class for decades. Right. And that, that didn't sit well with me. And I called out the donors of that. And the two biggest donors of that nonprofit are the Koch Industries and Leonard Leo's group, the 85 Fund and donors Trust. And, you know, Leonard Leo is kind of a behind the scenes guy for those that don't know him. He's a very powerful man in this country. And he's the head of the Federal Society, the head of Teneo, which is a big conservative, you know, activist group and very entwined with the donor class, the GOP movement. And he is largely responsible for all of Trump's major Supreme Court and federal court picks in his first term. But what we've seen is with people like Judge Amy Coney Barrett, we got a little screwed on this deal. And now we're seeing a little.
Stephen K. Bannon
A little.
Rogan O'Handley
A little, yeah, but a lot more screwed.
Stephen K. Bannon
And I just want to say here's a lesson. Never picked anybody in any position of authority that went to Notre Dame is on the faculty. Notre Dame, I hate to say it, it used to be a great Catholic university long ago. It's a hotbed. It's a progressive mess. And she's a progressive mess. She's right on one topic, life. Everything else in that, she's a disaster. And Leonard Leo, these guys, you know, they're hiding behind, they're not maga, they're not populist, they're not nationalist. He's got a billion dollars. They're protecting the donor class. And President Trump's had a belly full of it. And this is a shot about this whole thing that's going to Come down to the Supreme Court on his article. Two powers, folks. Everything's kind of coming together now. And that's why President Trump is strategically, you know, getting the chessboard right. The one thing he's got to do is freeze Leonard Leo with that unlimited amount of money that Leonard Leo can come at him behind sneaky, behind all these phony groups. Right, to take out these attack ads against President Trump's policies. Is that not what we're talking about, D.C. drano?
Rogan O'Handley
That's exactly what's happening. And you know, Maga and the Federalist Society were pretty close in a close relationship for a long time. But it definitely softened in Trump's most recent campaign. They didn't put much money towards them.
Stephen K. Bannon
Because now we're seeing they were using us. Hang on. Republicans can't win. Let me be blunt. All the Murdochs, those scumbags at Fox, the controlled opposition, Karl Rove, the Bushes, all of them can't win elections. Can't, certainly can't win national elections. They were all against Trump this time. Thought we had no shot to win. They've got no interest in bringing in Hispanic families down in the Rio Grande Valley in Star County, Texas, which is 97% hardscrabble Hispanics that we lost by 60 points in 16 when I thought we did a pretty good job. President Trump won it by 16 points. A 97% blue collar Hispanic community. The Hispanic votes coming our way. African American men are coming our way. They're never going to come the way of the controlled opposition. Fox News, Wall Street Journal editorial page, Karl Rove, Bush neoliberal, neocon apparatus. It doesn't offer him anything. The policies don't match. As soon as Leonard Leo realized and that group realized that, hey, Trump's serious. He's actually serious about these tariffs. He actually serious about bringing manufacturing jobs back. He's actually serious about closing the border. He's actually serious about deporting 13 million illegal alien invaders. Not the 35 that have been here forever. I'm talking about the 13 came on, on Biden's watch. When he's serious about it. All of a sudden they're sneaking around behind the scenes with all these phony front groups attacking President Trump's policies because they don't agree with the policies. Rogan o' Hanley, thoughts and observations couldn't.
Rogan O'Handley
Have said it better. What I was going to say, Steve, is, you know, I called him out for the first time, which, you know, I'm a member of the Federal Society. I love, I've loved what they've done for 20 years, but they've kind of strayed from their mission and they're trying to bring things back to the mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell era, and that's just not happening. And these, you know, they take a lot of credit for picking the Supreme Court justices, but guess What? Those are Maga's Supreme Court justice picks, okay? Federal Society didn't win 2016. It certainly didn't win 2024. They would, if it had their way, they would have had Jeb Bush as the great loser to President Hillary Clinton. Okay? Those are our Supreme Court picks. And they got watered down by bad advice. And then now it's gone into full opposition mode. And, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to, you know, pooh, pooh everything. But listen, when I, when I sent that tweet about Leonard Leo a month ago, I got some calls. Hey, are you sure about that? And I'm like, well, he's suing Trump, who's standing up to China. So what, what, what else should I do? Sit back and say, ah, you know what, let's keep this status quo. This is kind of a fork in the road. And, you know, President Trump is shooting this shot across the bow because what are we facing right now? A judicial coup. And what does Leonard Leo do? He is entangled with all these judges. And so if the judges are turning against Trump, you can't help but wonder how much Leonard Leo is involved in the background and making sure this continues. So unless he starts coming out and publicly disavowing this stuff or making strong moves to rectify this and actually help the people that put Trump in power, the MAGA voters, we have to start asking some serious questions about what his motivations are.
Stephen K. Bannon
We got to, this is all positioning this fight on the article to fight that's coming, and it's going to be brutal. Rogan, you're, you're one of the most followed guys in the MAGA movement. Social media, where do people go at.
Rogan O'Handley
DC Drano on all the platforms and you know, all we want listen, you know, you know who sued Trump over the China tariffs? Letitia James. Okay, so if you're, if you're on the same side of the legal fence as Letitia James, maybe you should look in the mirror and say, what am.
Stephen K. Bannon
I, am Maze and May's out in Arizona. These, all these progressive left wing attorney generals in the states, that's who came after him. They're really, you know what? They're afraid. They're really afraid of. This is the opening salvo, brother, on your rescind the writ of habeas corpus. That's where this is going.
Rogan O'Handley
See what they really think about that 100%. It all comes down to cheap labor. You want the cheap labor, you gotta pull the mask off. Or are you going to actually stick to helping the American working class?
Stephen K. Bannon
Slave labor. Okay, brother, thank you. Fantastic.
Rogan O'Handley
Thank you.
Stephen K. Bannon
A, a truly great man passed away last night.
Rogan O'Handley

Stephen K. Bannon
Okay. Welcome back. Let's go to Jerusalem and our own Mike Davis. Mike the Leonard Leo. You've warned people about this for a while now. President Trump just put a shot across the bow. What is going on and why is it important?
Mike Lindell
S. President Trump is going to build on his biggest accomplishment of his first term and pick even more bold and fearless judges in his second term. And we got a lot of them right in the first term. But the problem is that we didn't get a lot of others right. So we're going to make damn sure and President's and President Trump's second term that the Article 3 projects is going to help President Trump pick me even more bold and fearless judges. We have judges, judicial nominees like Amel Beauvais. You hear the fed sock types like Ed Whalen wailing about email Bove saying somehow that email Bove is not good enough to be a third Circuit judge based out of New Jersey. I would say this about Emil. He graduated at the top of his class at Georgetown Law School. He was a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, the premier federal district in the country. He was a national security prosecutor. He clerked for a judge on the 2nd Circuit in New York. He clerked for a judge on the Southern District of New York. He is, he was the acting deputy Attorney General, the acting number two at the Justice Department, and he was President Trump's lawyer When all these other lawyers at these big fancy law firms would not represent President Trump during the three years of unprecedented, unrelenting republic ending lawfare against President Trump, it was Amel Beauvais who was President Trump's defense. He is. Exactly.
Stephen K. Bannon
And listen, I got that. Hang on, hang on. I got that. And you're. We're getting much more MAGA type judges. I understand that. And the Federal Society had a, had a. And they did help us in 16 by identifying the first chart. And then you got involved. We had the second group of which Gorsuch came out of the great Gorsuch. But this is something different. Why is Leonard Leo taking money from that billionaire, the billion dollars he's sitting on and actually going to and setting up these phony groups and attacking President Trump's policies? And why is President. You got to go pretty far in the woods on something like this to hit President Trump's Tripwire. Would they hit it, brother, because he put a shotgun blast out there. What is that about? What implication and particularly what implications it's going to have because we got to get this thing resolved by 30 June on the article two powers brother Davis Yeah.
Mike Lindell
I mean, when you have Leonard Leo taking over a billion dollars, I think it was like $1.6 billion from a billionaire who gave him his fortune Berry Seid ads. Then Leonard sat on the sidelines with all the money for three years of lawfare and didn't support groups that were helping President Trump with the lawfare and actually had guys out there like Ed Whalen who Leonard funds undermining President Trump during this lawfare. And Ed Whelan continues to undermine President Trump with Amel Beauvais and other judicial nominees. I don't know what Leonard's doing. He funded the anti RFK campaign for HHS secretary. He's fighting against President Trump on tariffs. I think Leonard Leo needs to remember that he was a nobody before President Trump named him as his judge picker in 2016. And then Leonard Leo got very wealthy after that. So, you know, you go from making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year at the Federal Society to flying around in private jets and having, you know, $8 million homes in Maine. He got very wealthy from this. You would think that after you've gotten very wealthy off of President Trump that you can at least give President Trump the loyalty of keeping your mouth shut.
Stephen K. Bannon
Where's this going to go for. I know you got a bounce, but what should we look for? Where is this going to go from here? Because this is inextricably tied to these issues of the Article 2 powers in this kind of confrontation where this Jacksonian type of confrontation that, you know, because you laid it out very clearly from the beginning, that we're now reaching the at least the first climax stage of by the end of June. How do what do people should think about in the Leonard Leo and Federal Society part of this, Sir?
Mike Lindell
I think President Trump's going to rely more on the Article 3 project than he is Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. We're already doing that. We've already compiled a list of Supreme Court nominees and shared that list. We're working very closely. I'm working very closely with President Trump and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and his White House counsel, David Warrington, and his deputy counsel for nominations, Steve Kenney, who used to work for me on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Stephen K. Bannon
Perfect.
Mike Lindell
President Trump has learned his lessons from the first term good and bad. He knows that the people he pick, he picks for these key posts, whether in the executive branch, at the Justice Department or on these judicial slots. These are critical roles, people. Our policy in Washington, D.C. president Trump had never run for office in 2016. He had never served in office. He had four years in office. He had four years in the wilderness. He had four years.
Stephen K. Bannon
But those wilderness years were important to retort. Do you think I got a bounce? I know you do. Do you think, though, that Leonard Leo is going to start taking out ads in these phony conservative front groups to attack President Trump's assertion of his Article 2 powers? Particularly if we get to the point. I know you're not a huge fan of this, but you're getting closer to my side. Suspending the writ of habeas corpus and other things that President Trump needs to do as commander in chief of the armed forces and having taken an oath to defend the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Sir.
Mike Lindell
Well, I thought that conservatives, constitutionalists, like the Federalist Society types, believed in what the liberals call the unitary executive theory, what we call the Article 2 of the Constitution, where the president and the president alone has the executive power. All executive power under Article 2. And I don't remember a Trump derangement syndrome exception to Article 2. So the American, American people made their decision on November 5th. They gave President Trump an overwhelming electoral mandate. Three hundred and twelve electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote. President Trump was sabotaged during his first term. He's not going to get sabotaged during his second term. Not by leftists and not by establishment conservatives. We will make damn sure that doesn't happen at the Article three projects. And I, I am very happy that after Ed Whalen put out his piece going after email Bovey, we had three Article three projects, opinion pieces from me, from Josh Hammer, from Wilt Chamberlain out immediately punching back against this. We are going to be in the fight every day for President Trump. We're going to make damn sure he succeeds with the war Room posse.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, you know the Warren Posse or the, or the hoplites over at Article 3. Where do people go, sir?

Bernie Kerrick, America's cop, who's the wingman to America's mayor. Let's go and play the cold open. I'm going to bring Jane Zirkerlin, who worked with both of them.
Mike Davis
The mayor and I on. In. In the aftermath of 9 11, we had phenomenal teams around us, some of the best cops in the country. You know, when I became police commissioner, I left the Department of Correction. I came to the nypd, and I can remember right after the mayor appointed me, he made the announcement in the blue room at City hall. And I came down off the podium, and Chief Fahey, who's in here tonight, came up to me and he said, see all those guys lined up on the wall over there? Those guys are from intelligence, and those are going to be a part of your new detail. And I looked over, and I didn't know one. I didn't know any of these guys, none. But I'm looking out into the blue room and I. I see a cast of characters that I've worked with that I was involved in. Gun violence, battles with. My partner was shot and injured. Hector Santiago. Mike Germine had his partner shot and killed. Craig Taylor shot and killed two guys. I can go around the room, actually. Bobby Picciano was shot, I think, twice or two gun battles, shot once. I don't know. A whole load of rounds went off at that table. But I. I looked over at the chief and I said, hey, Chief, let me ask something. I said, I got. I don't know these guys, and I don't want anybody around me that I don't know. So can I have. Is there a way that I can have my own guys? He said, yeah, who do you want? And I said, you know, I want Hector and Donnie Tranquil, Mike Germine, Sean Crowley. I started pointing all these guys out, and I'm thinking, this is going to take two years by time to get these guys transferred and all this stuff. And she looks at me, he goes, okay, that's it. I said, yeah. He goes, okay, you're all transferred. Now, anybody that knows anybody that knows anything about the police department, nobody could transfer like that. Nobody. And. And he did a telephone message, and within an hour or so, they were all transferred to my office. And for the next 18 months, these are the men that protected me and my family. They are battle tested. They are the best of the best in the nypd. I'd like my detail to stand up. Thank you, guys. So I'm going to do something that I know I'm going to get in a lot of trouble for. You know, on. And in the aftermath of September 11, we. We went through hell. My executive staff, the mayor's staff, but we did the best we could. And people, you know, they come to me and they say, you're a hero. You know, I'm not a hero, but I damn sure had a bunch of heroes that work for me.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, that is one of the best guys you'll ever meet. That is from War Room. If you remember September 11th, in the evening of 2021, the wilderness years, remember that? We had Rudy, we had Bernie. We had all of them, all the original gangsters, all the. All the old school New York cops that were down there for nine. Eleven had come back for the 20th anniversary. We had a special Rob Sig, and Parker was with us, went on for hours. Bernie had had an adult beverage. As you can tell there, one or two during the evening. But this is the humanity of the guy. Jane Zirkel, you worked with both of them. We got about a minute here, and I'm holding you the other side. What was Bernie Kerik like, ma' am?
Jane Zirkel
Well, you heard it right there. Bernie Carrick, just like Mayor Giuliani. They are some of the most humble guys you will meet. No matter who would come up to them, which happened pretty often, they'd be greeted by New Yorkers from all walks of life, just constantly saying how much they appreciated them for what they did for the city during 9 11. They would always say, you know, we're not heroes. We were just doing our jobs. But the reality is Bernie Kerik is an American hero. Is an American hero. He is a patriot, and he was a great mentor to so many, like myself in the space. I met him when I was just 18 years old. And he was always the guy that you would turn to if, you know, there was a problem, if you needed something. I often joke that Rudy would be the one to find the trouble and Bernie would be the one to fix it. You know, they were quite the team. Everyone knows the mayor and the commissioner, and he was just a wonderful, wonderful soul and person.
Stephen K. Bannon
You think Jane Zerkel's tough? Natalie's good. Jane Zirkel's had. Had Bernie, Rudy and Bannon as her. As her first three bosses. That's how you get tough. Jane Zirkel, by the way, was there on the laptop from hell. She was the administrative person that helped pull it together. I think you were 17 or 18 years old. It was unbelievable your work ethic. And Bernie loved you. And I know you loved him. Stick around. Bernie Kerik, America's Copy the wingman of Rui Giuliani, one of the greats, passed away last night, age of 69. You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now. You probably know that for years they've stood in the gap for every American who believes in faith, family and freedom.

Bannon’s War Room Episode 4524: Elections Continue In Korea; Protecting Trump's Second Term Release Date: May 30, 2025
In Episode 4524 of Bannon’s War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon tackles two critical topics: the ongoing elections in South Korea and the efforts to protect former President Donald Trump’s second term. Bannon delves into the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in South Korean politics, potential threats to Taiwan, and the internal dynamics within the U.S. judicial system that may impact Trump’s administration.
[00:02 – 02:23] Stephen K. Bannon's Opening Remarks Stephen K. Bannon opens the episode with a strong critique of mainstream media and expresses concern over the influence of the CCP in South Korean elections. He underscores the urgency of the situation, stating:
“There is a Chinese Communist Party inspired coup with one of our greatest allies in South Korea... if we lose this election to the CCP sponsored progressive party over there that will be a preamble to the invasion of Taiwan.” [01:10]
Bannon emphasizes that the military exercises by China near Taiwan are not mere drills but rehearsals for potential invasion, highlighting the strategic importance of South Korean elections in this geopolitical context.
[02:23 – 08:03] Interview with Ambassador Morse H. Tan Ambassador Morse H. Tan provides an in-depth perspective on the South Korean elections, alleging significant electoral fraud. He reveals:
“There have been ballots that were preset for Lee Jim Young that have been found. There have been ballots for Kim and Soo that have been shredded.” [02:23]
Ambassador Tan discusses discrepancies between official vote counts released by the National Election Commission (NEC) and those tabulated by election observers. He notes that in some regions, discrepancies range from 20% to 30%, a figure previously unheard of in South Korean elections.
“Even legacy media in South Korea like KBS and NBC are reporting on it. And there's a lot of passion and energy amongst those who really want their democracy to continue.” [07:26]
He calls for public diplomacy from the U.S. government, urging figures like President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio to make supportive statements about South Korea’s democratic process.
[08:03 – 13:57] Insights from Colonel John Mills and Colonel Grant Newsham Colonel John Mills elaborates on the methods employed to manipulate election outcomes, including:
“They are handing out ballots. Ballots are pre-voted, ballots are pre-signed.” [08:33]
Both Mills and Colonel Grant Newsham discuss the CCP’s long-term strategy to align South Korea with its interests, effectively turning it into a one-party state supportive of North Korea and the CCP. Newsham warns:
“We are within the last steps of an effort to turn it into a one party state.” [12:09]
They emphasize the critical need for U.S. intervention to prevent the CCP from achieving its strategic objectives in the region.
[16:42 – 19:32] Calls to Action and Social Media Engagement Ambassador Tan reiterates the need for U.S. governmental support, urging listeners to:
“Flood Congress, our executive branch, with your calls for them to do so.” [16:55]
He also encourages the audience to engage on social media platforms to amplify the call for transparency and support in South Korea’s elections.
[20:03 – 35:20] Discussion with Rogan O'Handley and Mike Lindell The conversation shifts to internal U.S. judicial politics, focusing on Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. Rogan O'Handley criticizes Leonard Leo for undermining Trump's judicial appointments:
“Leonard Leo is kind of a behind the scenes guy... He's largely responsible for all of Trump's major Supreme Court and federal court picks in his first term. But... they are using us.” [22:45]
Mike Lindell supports this stance, highlighting the Article 3 Project aimed at solidifying Trump’s judicial legacy:
“President Trump's going to rely more on the Article 3 project than he is Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.” [34:51]
Both guests express frustration with perceived betrayal from established conservative institutions and advocate for grassroots support to counteract these challenges.
[41:49 – 43:28] Remembering Bernie Kerrick Stephen K. Bannon pays tribute to Bernie Kerrick, praising his dedication and heroism:
“Bernie Kerrick is an American hero. He is a patriot, and he was a great mentor to so many.” [42:31]
Jane Zirkel, a close associate, echoes these sentiments, highlighting Bernie’s humility and unwavering commitment during crises such as September 11th.
[35:20 – 38:15] Mike Lindell on Article3Project Mike Lindell discusses the Article3Project, emphasizing its role in supporting Trump’s judicial nominations. He urges listeners to:
“Tell both of your home state senators to vote to confirm Amel Beauvais for the New Jersey based seat on the Third Circuit.” [37:38]
Lindell asserts that Trump's strategic approach in his second term will prioritize robust judicial appointments to strengthen his administration’s policies and counteract opposition from figures like Leonard Leo.
Stephen K. Bannon wraps up the episode by reinforcing the critical nature of both South Korean elections and the internal U.S. judicial battles impacting Trump’s legacy. He encourages active participation from listeners to support democratic integrity in South Korea and bolster Trump’s efforts in securing a favorable judiciary landscape.
Episode 4524 of Bannon’s War Room provides a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical tensions surrounding South Korea’s elections and the intricate power dynamics within the U.S. judicial system affecting Trump’s administration. Through interviews with key figures like Ambassador Tan, Colonel Mills, Colonel Newsham, Rogan O'Handley, and Mike Lindell, Bannon underscores the necessity for proactive measures to safeguard democracy both abroad and domestically.
Listeners are encouraged to engage actively by supporting democratic initiatives in South Korea and reinforcing efforts to secure a favorable judicial landscape in the United States, ensuring the protection of Trump’s second term and broader national interests.
