Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on 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. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, 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.
Steve Bannon
Okay, it is Friday 6th June, the year of Allure 2025. We are going to get to Today this morning. PATRICK K. O' donnell, maybe later in the show. It's obviously D day that we always do something special about, make sure that we're always commemorating that. POSO is going to join us in a second. Overnight, the Third World War is expanding. Another big hit in the Kiev. But I want to go back two things. Number one, the great Gavin Wax, turns out Symington, who we had on here, the FCC commissioner, has stepped down for a business opportunity. He's going to leave. There's an opening and I don't think they could do better. Beginning GAVIN Wax Gavin Wax is one of the most extraordinary young men I've ever met. And with that slot open, I don't think anybody would represent the country and make sure. And Caroline, you know, all this madness with the broadcast networks, their news coverage, you know, they get these licenses and they're supposed to provide a public service and coverage of news. And what they did in the old days is nothing compared to what they do now. And that's why you need people like Gavin Wax, who are kind of these young fire breathers that you knew to kind of rejuvenate these Alphabet agencies. I don't think we could do better than having Gavin Wax as a, as the new FCC commissioner to really replace Simonton, who's leaving. I think he's Simonton's deputy right now. And of course, you've been all over the FCC Carolina, but I want to go back to Sergio Gore and particularly these bros, like these things like all in podcasts and all these guys, they're all going to do stuff. They all talk big. You got David Sacks in this crowd. And I think David Sacks has got to watch himself because he's on Pretty thin ice, okay? Pretty thin ice. And going after Sergio Gore and going after core people around President Trump, not going to hack it, okay? Sergio Gore is one of the most loyal people working with President Trump and has kept us out of so many messes like the situation with Isaacman. And this shows you, all these burligarchs and particularly the guys at all, they're all left wing Democrats, okay? All they're trying to do is leech off the MAGA movement. They've done nothing to support the MAGA movement. They all joined us after Trump won. They're nothing but leeches, right? And parasites. What they're trying to do is draft off this for their own betterment, not for the country, for their own self interests. And they're all tech bros. And they're going to do this and they're going to do that. They're nothing. They're absolutely just a bunch of geeks, okay? They run away. The first thing like you got, you got Elon Musk, big tough guy. He's begging. They're all over Trump begging. We need a phone call. He's so apologized, Jake. I'm not going to have a phone call. They're all over. You got to de escalate. You got to de escalate. Hey, this guy started, he crossed the Rubicon. But let's talk about Sergio. There's five or six articles out today, and I think Sergio looks like a star because he did what the President wanted to get the information that this guy's another just like the all in podcast. And David Sacks and all these guys, they're all left wing Democrats. They're all, they're all. When they saw the MAGA movement taking power like a leech, they all want to get in, leech off it, right? Like a par. Like the parasites they are. We got it.
Jack Posobiec

Steve Bannon
But you got to watch them every second because it's always their self interest. Just like Elon. It's always about this Elon. As soon as the EV mandate doesn't go and Sue's not going to get his way and as soon as people start looking at the data that he stole, right, we got to make sure everything that Doge did, they didn't take anybody's personal data because you got this Palantir situation right now, that's on a MAGA supported. We're not for the surveillance state. We're not going to have it, okay? We're free men and free women. We believe in liberty and freedom. But Caroline, President Trump makes a decision. President Trump wanted To check these things out of things. People had come through the system before he had in place kind of controls. And you know, this guy at NASA, he's no great shake. She can take a stick and hit 20 of these guys, right? But he's their guy. That's what's important. He's their guy. He reports them. Why? He's a progressive Democrat. All of his donations until after we won is to left wing Democrats. I mean, Schumer and Rosen, all of them. These are hardcore anti Trump, anti MAGA people. That's what he is. And he's had a Damascene moment. They've all had a road to Damascus. They've all had a road to Damascus as President Trump and MAGA's in power. That's why you have to watch them. You can't trust them as far as you could throw them. You have to watch them 247 because they're greedy. And it's all about them. It's all about just money, money, money. And this is why you got to watch them. Caroline Wren, about Sergio Gore, Ma' am.
Caroline Wren
Well, you know, I've known sergio actually since 2006 when I was the College Republicans president at Auburn. I met him at a College Republicans event, a national event. He was at gw. And the next year I texted him and said, are you coming to the conference? And he said no, because he had actually, he thought the College Republicans at GW were too big of neocons and establishment. So he had left the OR organization, started the Young Americas foundation chapter at GW to challenge the Republican Party's establishment on campus. That's who Sergio Gore is. He is someone who is not only brilliant, but loyal. And he has been against he truly. I mean, he's been MAGA before anyone else was maga. I remember when I was off, you know, working for Lindsey Graham, he was forcing me to watch hours of footage of Rand Paul filibustering Montenegro joining NATO on the Senate floor, telling me, caroline, you're a neocon and your boss is a neocon.
Steve Bannon
I.
Caroline Wren
You need to learn. I mean, truly, I learned about the MAGA movement because of Sergio Gore. So for these Elon and the all in podcast bros to be going after Sergio, the way I've seen them, it's quite obvious they're doing it today. They're trying to oppo dump on him because Sergio didn't bend the knee to the tech oligarchs and instead served at the will of the President and recommended people.
Steve Bannon
Sachs better take his all in bros. He keeps Attacking Sergio Gore and other people around there. He's going to be held accountable, and I don't think he wants to be held accountable. He's not a guy that does well in the public layer, if you know what I mean. And as you know from the war room, bro, we will go there just like we went there on Elon, okay? We're not going to let these guys come in and grift off this movement and destroy people and try to destroy the president yesterday, not just the Epstein thing, calling for the president to be impeached. Everything we've gone through with the president, United States, these two impeachments, trying to put him in jail and this guy. And right now, Susie Wiles. Breaking news even as we speak here in the war room, Susie Wiles, who's a pretty steady Eddie, a safe pair of hands. She says no phone call. You gotta understand, they are all over the president and every member of the staff. Please, oh, please take a phone call. You're big talkers yesterday, but as soon as somebody punches back and saying, hey, we're gonna take your security clearance, we're gonna take these companies and put them under government supervision, under management, until the investigations of you. Because he knows these investigations are going to get tossed. He knows they're going to get tossed out of the country. So now from the big talk yesterday of challenging President Trump, threatening him with impeachment, threatening him with this bogus thing on the Epstein, threatening him, oh, he's only here three and a half years. I'm here 40, threatening. I'm going to start a third party. Yo, you ain't talking so big this morning, bro. You're crawling on your belly with all the, you know, all the all in bros, the all in. That's a really tough crowd, a group of pencil necks. And you're all sitting there whining and yammering and oh, Sergio's terrible. He's terrible. Sergio Gore ain't going anywhere. And what he's doing for the president is screening people exactly like you that should not be around power. You're dangerous people, and here's why. You're dangerous, you're immature, you're narcissistic. It's all about you. It's not about the country. The MAGA movement is made up of veterans, is made up of people that have dedicated themselves to this republic that's the backbone of the Trump movement. And they're just not gonna sit there, not impressed by your wealth, not impressed by your technology. We think it's quite dangerous and we Think you are quite dangerous. So if they want to continue on the Sergio Gore's and others, hey, all I'm saying is you're gonna be held accountable. And I don't think you guys will hand up. I don't think you'll stand up well to your moment in the sun. So better back off. Sergio Gore is not going anywhere. Caroline Rent Sergio Gore was just doing what the President said. And it turns out once again President Trump's right. He didn't feel right about this guy. And he went and got the research and came back was nothing but left wing Democrats who do nothing. They're never Trump, they're never maga. They want to put Trump in prison. They're the biggest haters. And he's sitting there going, why should I get a guy in here that's underwriting the haters? And now, oh all. Now he's all maga. After Trump won and after the inauguration.
Caroline Wren
Ma' am, this is all smoke and mirrors, truly. I mean, if Elon wants to go form another party, great. It'll be Elon and then the three, four all in podcast bros. Because look, yesterday Elon instructed his 20 million ex followers to call their representatives and kill the bill. I was reading a news story this morning that they said that the reporter called around to different offices and one office said they got one call. Do you know when Grace Chung goes on X and says call your representative, the war room posse literally shuts down the Capitol switchboard. They flood the zone with so many calls. That's because we're an army of a movement behind President Trump. We 77 million Americans are growing and Elon has a following of three, maybe four. One phone call when he put that up to his 20 million followers. But also to say the audacity of Elon Musk to say that without him, Trump would have lost. And then to say that Trump has such ingratitude. Ingratitude? Like, are you kidding me? Elon, you just got to spend six months working in the West Wing serving our great nation. Perhaps one of the highest honors any individual could be granted sitting next to our commander in chief every day. Your way of thanking him is to call him ungrateful? No, Elon, you are ungrateful piece of scum. And I hope that you are never allowed back into the West Wing again. It was an honor to get to do that every day and to serve this president. And how dare you? How dare you say that he is ungrateful to you.
Steve Bannon
By the way, I met Sergio 15 years ago this summer. I made a film about Michele Bachmann and, and Schlafly and Palin called Fire from the Heartland, the Women of the Tea Party Movement. And by the way, he was a grundoon. He was on the staff of Michele Bachmann with another young fire breather, Stephen Miller. These guys, they were maga before maga, they were Tea Party maga. And these two guys were fire breathers. Then went to the Senate, one to Rand Paul, went to Jeff Sessions. Look, and there's other people out there like Sergio that serve the president every day. And you talk about ingratitude. Caroline Wren's point is that President Trump is not donor friendly. He'll take the money, but it doesn't come. He's not going to sit there and do their bidding. And people that may give the money and think that they're up for a rude awakening. President Trump's going to do what's right. One of the worst things about the Elon situation was the buried lead in the Josh Dossey story of the Wall Street Journal the other day. Number one, President Trump looks around and says, hey, is this Doge thing all bs? He says, where's those cuts? Where's the trillion dollars of cuts? Not, not the stuff Russ votes working on that we see up there in the rescission bill. Like, where's the trillion dollars of fraud? Where he said, I spent three and a half minutes in the State of the Union talking about Social Security. He says, a Ponzi. Like, where's the fraud there? The guy's coming with nothing. He promised a trillion dollars. And this is why he and Besson got into it. So the president is not at the beck and call of donors, certainly is going to take the money, but he. And you've seen this all the time, Caroline, when these people think they got it. And not only did he get the Doge gig to serve his country, but then he wanted other things, particularly he wanted to stick around. I mean, the president's the one that brought that up the White House, the one that got that information, Mark Caputo, that, hey, your time's up. You're kind of wearing thin and we think you ought to move on. Dave, you got a comment?
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, just one minute. Of moral philosophy. I stole this from another public philosopher. One acid test for these guys, right? You said these tech bros are gonna draft off the president Magifer, and it'll be precisely for three years. We see what happens next and we all know that's the case, right? 3. All of a sudden the winds are going to change and they're going to do what they're going to do. Here's your test, right? Just look at good and evil. Literally making a Faustian deal with the devil. It's portrayed in Lord of the Rings, right? The Sauron the eye, the giant all knowing evil eye. Solomon makes a deal with Sauron the evil thinking in Judeo Christian terms that if I make a deal with the devil, I'm going to get something out of it. The characteristic of evil, is it not? Never shares, it never lets you come on board versus the war room. Grace Chong, Steve Bannon. When you join the maga, you get something out of it. That's the acid test of good versus evil and it's Darth Vader. It's good and evil in the Western canon. Make sure when you join and make your deal, you're making a deal where you're on a team that's going to give back to you. And if you're not getting something out of it, there's something wrong with that story.
Steve Bannon
Okay, we are. We got Jack Basilicon. Caroline Wren is going to stick around. We got Jack. We got some update on the war. I think Jack also may have a observation or two of this fight between Elon Musk and the President. Not really a fight. Elon got a standing eight count. That's why his team is also. Please, please, please, please take a phone call. He's sorry. He's so sorry. He sorry. Yo, bro, you crossed the Rubicon, right? You don't get a chance to go back. This call crossed the Rubicon for a reason. There ain't no going back. You went. There ain't so tough talking today when SpaceX and these may be under new management. Not talking so tough this morning. Caroline runs her cigarette. We are going to go back to St. Patrick's Cathedral at the end of the requiem mass to pick up our coverage with David Zier and the Real America's Voice team. And we're going to get Patrick K.

Really a bombardment like the 1940 Blitz of London. I think 5 the Ukrainians Hotel first reports 5 dead but I hear there are many, many more dead and wounded and they did go after civilian targets. Is this the beginning of Putin's payback for the, quite frankly, the audacious and brilliant assault by the Ukrainians on the strategic bombing assets of the Russian air force.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well Steve, thanks again for having me on. Last night Russia launched one of the largest attacks on the war in Ukraine that we've seen. Deploying at least over 400 drones. Many of these the one way drones, also known as kamikaze drones. At least 44, 45 missiles. As you mentioned, the ballistics and cruise missiles, mostly iskanders and calibers across almost every single region of Ukraine. I'm at a loss to see. And even President Zelensky came out and said that every single region of Ukraine was hit last night. Obviously this is being described by Russian sources as retaliation for those attacks on the Kerch Strait bridge, on the civilian train that Ukraine bombed, killing Russian civilians. And of course on the Strategic bombers. Strategic bombers, by the way, also involved in this attack, firing off those cruise missiles from the air. Some of the key targets that we're seeing a lot, as you say, many cities, Kyiv itself itself, but also cities in the far west of Ukraine. So Kiev is central, and then south central. You had the attacks along the Dnieper River, a city of Kherson, city of Mykolaiev, which I visited, which has key shipyards. These were struck last night. But then far west, you also saw strikes in places like Lvov places or Lviv, Lutzk, Turnipil. These are all in Western Ukraine. And what is it? What are they hitting? They're hitting power substations, they're hitting electrical infrastructure, they're hitting water infrastructure. So all of this, of course, going into the summer. And a lot of these key places, by the way, that they're hitting include those Naito supplies that are coming in from Poland, that are coming across the train there. They wait and they track these supplies as they come across the border. And then once they enter Ukraine, at these various depots that they have them in the west, that's when Russia commits their strikes. And really, what you're seeing is a setup for Russia to. I think. And a lot of analysts have said they are setting themselves up for a major breakout in the eastern provinces on the border, because, of course, as we know, these air campaigns don't control land. But what controls land, Soldiers. And so you're ready to see the Russian army push forward this summer and really set themselves up for a massive summer offensive.
Steve Bannon
Hold on, hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hit rewind on the last a minute of that. What are you saying? Because the air attack and the payback, you're saying you're seeing a pattern here that's laying a predicate, because the campaign season in Ukraine is, as you know, in fall, winter and spring, very difficult for infantry and for armor and, you know, artillery and armor and infantry, that kind of combined arms is. Is the Russians model, right? They just come and grind you down. What are you seeing here now that may lead to a bigger summer campaign?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, Steve, as we know, this has been a war of attrition. And a war of attrition is one where the Russians predominantly have the advantage because they have the ability to call up reserves, as they have again and again and again. Whereas Ukraine, no matter how many weapons systems, no matter how much artillery, how many shells, how many guns, the US And NATO forces, the various NATO members of the alliance, can provide what they aren't providing is manpower. So Ukraine is at that manpower disadvantage. This is where the Russians have the key advantage here. And so they've been sitting back and just grinding, grinding, grinding in the eastern Russian speaking provinces. But now they're at a point where, because you're seeing this predicate of striking the weapons themselves, striking key elements of infrastructure where they could be positioned for some major salient breakouts into these regions in the Russian eastern speaking provinces, many of the ones that of course, they're talking about right now in Istanbul regarding the peace talks that have been ongoing. But of course, with these trading major attacks back and forth, it seems that those peace deals are really only focused on some, some prisoner swaps, both sides putting out their demands for a cease fire, but really nothing that I think either side is willing to go along with. So instead, what you're probably going to see in the face of this is a major Russian advance coming soon. And they're probably going to have that decision by, by July, by July.
Steve Bannon
Strategically, then what Zelinsky and these guys did and whether deep state operatives or part of the intelligence community is just ended up poking the bear again. Because now they're not only getting bigger air assaults, but they're going to have. Whereas President Trump wanted everybody to lay their weapons down. Do you think you'll have bigger, you think they'll have bigger, a bigger infantry and combined arms?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, Steve, remember, there are a lot of members of the Kremlin, a lot of members of the Russian military infrastructure that don't want peace talks. They're not interested in peace talks. They look at the United States and they say, you know what, it doesn't matter who's president. It doesn't matter who gets in there because the deep state is the ones in control. You've got these Brennan and Clapper people running around, as you and I have talked about that clearly knew something about this attack, but didn't brief it up to the White House. So from the Russian side, they don't care what President Trump says on the phone. They're not these, these types. They're saying, we don't care what President Trump says. We are going to push in, we don't want peace. And it's been, it's actually been the policy of Putin and others to say, let's see what kind of deal we can make in the meantime. But you've got, there's these folks on that I always see on the left and they say, oh, we'll just get rid of Putin and everything's going to collapse. I say no, don't forget, you got people like Prigozhin who had been over there. You've got people who want to go all the way in and they say, let's class this place. And Steve, this is a reminder, this attack is a reminder that Russia has the ability to strike deep into Ukraine and all across Ukraine whenever they want to. Not to mention the arising weapons system, the hypersonic missiles that they have, all of these delivery platforms that they could have at their disposal. And I don't know where the Financial Times of London or all these analysts were from the Institute for the Study of War and Kagan's place and all them saying, oh, the Russians are going to not be able to wage war into year two, into year three. Guess what? We're at three plus years, three plus years into this thing. And guess what? The drones are keep coming off the line. The missiles, ballistics and cruise missiles keep coming off the line. The tanks keep coming off the line. Why? And by the way, there's an interesting corollary here to what's going on in the United States regarding the domestic policy. Because Russia never divested of their manufacturing base. They were able to maintain their domestic manufacturing base using the leveraging, of course, the natural resources, which, which Putin nationalized, I think. Steve, you were having an interesting conversation yesterday about nationalizing industry. So he nationalized those resources, stood up Gazprom and Rostam, and guess what? He's been using that to fuel the domestic industry and fuel the Russian war machine, which they still have and have the ability to wage war. When all these analysts, Steve, all these analysts said that Russia would be out of guns and out of bullets and they wouldn't have anything. And guess what? 3 + and they're striking every single region of Ukraine just last night.
Steve Bannon
Okay, we're going to go back to the funeral here in a second. Just one thing. I'm beginning this on Patrick Webb, his Twitter feed, and it's referencing the Reuters story, but I don't have the click through. But I'm just going to repeat it says Russia offers political asylum to Elon Musk over his Trump feud. Jack Bosovic, you're our expert in this area. You're both Elon Musk feud and offering him asylum. Your thoughts, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, I don't know exactly if Russia is a bastion against political persecution, but you know, I don't think Elon faces, is, is going to face that level of, of reprisal by the United States. But look, the Russians are watching this and that's exactly What I've been saying, the Russians are watching our internal politics. The Russians are laughing at us. The Chinese are laughing at us. They're saying, we know that the United States is going to be too busy chasing their own tail. The United States isn't serious. The Trump administration isn't serious. That's the way they're looking at it. That's the way they're looking at it right now. And they're saying we're just going to go steady on with the fight because that's what we want. In the same way that the Chinese who just knocked off and Steve, as you've talked about this, they just, just knocked off the government of South Korea. So now South Korea is going the way of Hong Kong in 97 or at least in, in the 1980s and 90s leading up to the 97 handover. And they're just moving along, they're moving along on their axis because what we're seeing is the depression depletion, right, the depletion and the end of the international liberal order, the rise of multi polarity. And they're saying, look, we don't care about these peace talks. We're going to do it on our own. And Putin just gave his interview to all of the oligarchs. He brought all the oligarchs to Russia and came in and he said, look, get used to sanctions. The sanctions aren't going away. The sanctions are not going away. And in Russia they have a situation where the oligarchs work for the Kremlin and they have a variety of methods of making sure that you continue to work for the Kremlin because if they don't like you, they get rid of you. And this is where they're operating. They've been planning this for years and years on end and it's, and I don't think, I really don't think that a lot of people in Washington, D.C. have paid attention to this or even understand what they're up against.
Steve Bannon
Jack Posobic, your social media, you're all over the Elon situation. You're all over the Third World War. We have so much reports this evening. I'm going to Georgia to give keynote address, but Dave Brat and Natalie Winner is going to be anchoring. There's so much going on. Where do people get you on social media today, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, of course you can follow me at Jack Posobic haven't been banned on X ever and I don't intend to be. But I'm up on True Social and Telegram just in Case. Case anything changes. I mean, I'm, I'm. I'm in all these Steve Bannon clips that keep going viral. Get me in trouble, Steve. But. But I'm still maintaining my good stuff standing for now. For now. But you can follow us up there at any time.
Steve Bannon
Okay, here we go right now. Let's go back to live coverage. We got David Z. Let's go back to St. Patrick's Cathedral. The end of the service in honor of Police Commissioner Bernie Kirk.

All right, Sam Sa. Sam. It Mayor Eric Adams, of course, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Cash Patel in that shot as a guard of honor for the body. Let's return now to St Patrick's colleagues are going to be getting in vehicles and following the Hearst and the guard of honor. Coming down Fifth Avenue at the beginning of the service was a quarter of a mile long. It's quite, quite extraordinary. Very powerful. A commissioner's funeral for the late Bernie Kerik, a great friend of maga, great friend of the President. Patriot hero through many, many, many battles. Dave, Brad, Observations.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, just a great day. We need days like that. Just good for the heart. But you know, I've got to meet, you know, Rudy Giuliani a few times and just the guy. The guy is just your best friend when you meet him. He's just a friend of America. He's a friend. He is. He's the mayor of New York City. He's a friend of the war room. And it's just great on these days, like the Cash Patel's out there. Then on the Democrat side, the current mayor helps to make this thing happen. He's, you know, he's in flux right now too. So it's interesting times. But you know, at most serious days, look upstairs, look to the heavens, look to the church and great markers.
Steve Bannon
Great.
Jack Posobiec
Just remind you of what's important. Great symbols. Yep.
Steve Bannon
Let's. Is David. Can I get David Zier? Is he visible? Audio got the beautiful shot right there. Is David Zier available? Maybe pull the shot back. Go. Can I get a sweeping shot back at St. Patrick's and over overflow crowd of course. New York Police Department, other representatives of the fire department, all, you know, first responders. Bernie Kerrick have been headed corrections Police commissioner under. Under Mayor Giuliani and someone who so many times, days and days and days after 911 would come to this very spot to honor the fallen of the police department of New York City and of course, the fire department. David Zier, observations and thoughts, sir.
David Zier
We're standing atop the police barrier truck, kind of a deuce and a half looking truck here with the leadership of the New York City Police Department, Mayor Adams in front of us here along with Cash Patel. I think I saw Ray Kelly. But we're looking directly at Mayor Giuliani across the street saying goodbye to family and friends, Bernie Kerik as they await their procession to return for Bernie Kerrick's final resting place in New Jersey. I just wanted to add it was a very emotional scene as the New York City police officers in their dress blues filed out of the mass and lined up the streets along Fifth Avenue here across from Rockefeller center in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral. And I just wanted to add, you know, Bernie Carrick while I'm looking at Rudy Giuliani here. Bernie was upset about New York City slide backwards after Giuliani and even Bloomberg helped bring crime down to 20 year lows in New York City today. As a reminder of the legacy of Bernie Kerik, a larger than life figure, someone who put his money where his mouth is and he will be missed by New Yorker.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, very nice, Dave. I just wanted to also add, you know, pray for the families and the friends of the Kerix. On days like this, prayers do matter. They go up to God. I made the little sermon earlier in the thing, but God always gives, right? God gives back. That's the sign of good versus evil. When you pray to God, the almighty God, the father, he gives, he gives the son, he gives the spirit, he gives hope, he gives love to everybody. On a day like this, even a day of loss, good can come out of it. And Dave Zier, we're just so happy to have you on the scene. You can hear your heart. You got a biggest heart ever, man. Love hearing from you.
Steve Bannon
No, that's why really, Parker and Rob Sig and the entire real America's Voice team, Harry, our great producer and everybody to do this. We were set to do it all. But we got the very moving arrival of the remains of Bernie Kerik and the honor guard and the nypd, all the, the commemoration day, the customs and traditions of the New York police with the bagpipes and of course we'll see the entrance. And David Zier, who's always our man on the scene in New York City. Been there for President Trump, all the trials of President Trump. And of course, now about the prayers. David Zier, people should know this. Caught the family and his friends totally by surprise. Bernie's only 69 years old. And to know him is a guy that's in incredible shape, works out every day. I mean, this guy is a beast. He was just a strong individual. So for the prayers, I know the family's still in shock. His friends are still in shock. It just happened so, so quickly. David Zier now, I guess some of the other family, the cars are getting up and they will go. And they will go down Fifth Avenue for a while. Sir.
David Zier
Yes. The security detail is leading the way. The hearse to follow and the rest of the procession with friends and family will be leaving New York City, probably going through the Lincoln Tunnel back to the cemetery. You know, Bernie Kerrick was raised in Patterson, New Jersey, in a single family home. Raised himself, you know, pulled himself up by the bootstraps, excelled. And by the way, Bernie was a black belt. And I just wanted to add, God closes a window and opens the door. And I hope Jessica lynch, the new police commissioner in New York who did a good job with murders and shootings so far, but has to clean up the other areas, can take Bernie's message forward and help the people of New York.
Steve Bannon
You see the police escort, the honor guard marching with the hearse as it moves very slowly. This is the follow up of the family and people going to the, the actual grave site, the burial, the service at the grave site. That's going to be family only. I might know. For those of you are not familiar with New York City, St. Patrick is right there at Rockefeller Center. So you're in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. You're at the heart of really the grandeur of Midtown Manhattan. And so these, a funeral like this, which is essentially a state funeral in the York City, this is the highest you get along with the mayor, police commissioners, is the, and you see the security forces in back. It will, it will tie up, it will tie up the city for a good while. They block off all the streets. Rockefeller Centers blocked off. David Zier, thoughts?
David Zier
Well, I would just add that Bernie Kerik is an iconic figure to remember for the rest of the police departments across the country. And he always hoped and he went. My interviews with him, he always said that New York led the way across the country in quality of life. Crimes, broken windows. We had a 72% increase in misdemeanor arrest. You know, this is about quality of life. Steve, I was coming home from the American miracle at the Kennedy center red carpet interviews the other night. Yeah.
Steve Bannon
Hey, David, let's try to catch the bagpipes. Can we put the honor of on behalf of the entire family, I'd like to thank you for your expressions of sympathy and support.
Caroline Wren
Detail dismissed.
Steve Bannon
Dismiss. You heard there the bagpipes or the Christian. The old Christian hymn Going Home. Very moving. That's traditional. Play with the, with the police. David Zier. We're about to wrap up our coverage. Want to thank real America's voice once again and of course Rob Sig Parker Sig. We try to bring as many of these things live to you as possible so you can see it and not talk too much. So let the camera in the, in the. The music and people talking give you exactly. Put you in the room. David Zier, we got a couple minutes. Thoughts on the. On Bernie Kerik a great man. A great man and a good man. Those often don't. Those often don't come together. Who did everything put his country first, his family first, his religion. Just a prototypical good American, sir.
David Zier
He had respect from his peers. He went undercover in Times Square, made arrests while he was the police commissioner. And I don't know if we're going to see anybody like him again. But we'll always remember Bernie Kerik in our hearts. He was here at our darkest time in New York City. 9 11, most significant event in modern history and he was right at Rudy Giuliani's side. A very special time in a very dark time.
Steve Bannon

I'm not going to be playing games here. We'll see how that plays out during the day. A lot of pressure on President Trump.
