Rudy Giuliani became visibly emotional during his podcast tribute to the late Bernie Kerik, former New York police commissioner, who died at 69. Describing Kerik as his closest friend and a courageous figure, Giuliani reflected on how Kerik influenced him positively. Kerik, who was appointed police commissioner in 2000 and hailed as a hero for his response to 9/11, had a complex later life marked by a federal conviction and subsequent pardon from President Trump. Giuliani expressed sorrow over losing Kerik, highlighting their deep bond and his legacy as a dedicated public servant.
I was a better man for having known Bernie. I certainly was a braver man and a stronger man, and I wish my father had known Bernie because my father was the bravest man I ever knew.
He was pardoned by a great president with a big heart and a lot of decency, and he loved that president.
