Everybody, welcome to Vince on a Friday. It is so good to have you with us. As always, we have a mighty show ahead. The President of the United States is. Well, he's headed back to the United States of America, which is good news finally out of Communist China. The news this morning is that apparently they dumped all of the stuff that China gave them directly into the Chinese trash can before they boarded Air Force One. In fact, they told everybody as they were boarding the plane, hey, you know those little pins they gave you for the security purposes? You know the lanyards they were handing out? You know, you know all the burner phones they gave you as you arrived? Yeah. Throw everything in the trash, would you, please? We don't need the Chinese spyware following us back to the United States of America. Probably a good idea. That is well advised. So the whole team coming back right now. So of course we'll, we'll get some interesting information from them. We do have some interesting developments already to share with you, including about dealing with Iran. We'll get to the breaking news on all of that coming up today. And we've got a lot to discuss about how the left is still plotting to rig our elections in the absence of having good ideas to earn votes. That's all ahead on this edition of Vince.

Yes, we do. We have our guests. The former Republican representative, Adam Morgan is joining us today on the program. We'll talk to him coming up shortly. That's a big deal because South Carolina is about to redraw their maps. And I can't wait to talk to Adam about what's, what's underway in South Carolina. Thank you, South Carolina. Thank you for, for focusing on what's right for the country right now, trying to regain some of that ground from those crazy, crazy Democrats. All right. Let's, let me, let me start with President Trump in Iran just to give you a quick rundown of, of some of the things that he's walking away with here. You he just told Sean Hannity over on the FOX News Channel big interview to conclude this trip that Xi Jinping offered to help open the Strait of Hormuz of his own accord. The Chinese are saying, yeah, yeah, we want to help you do this. Now, I'll believe it when I see it. They've been able to do this the whole time. But here's what President Trump said about it. And let me emphasize something. President Trump did not ask at all. He made it really clear. I never bothered to even ask him for any help at all because we can do this on our own. But she did offer so cut to watch this.
President Trump
President Xi would like to see a deal, man. He would, he would like to see a deal made. And he did offer, he said, if I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help. Because he did say that. Yeah, he did say that. And look, anybody that buys that much oil is obviously got some kind of a relationship with him. But he said, I would love to be a help if I could be of any help whatsoever. He'd like to see the hormone straight open.
Vince
Well, he can be of help. Just pick up the damn Phone. She call the gay, deformed supreme Leader of Iran and tell him, open up the damn strait or whoever the hell's in charge over there, pick up the phone. You fund the whole terror regime. Just do it. Don't talk about it. Do it. We've had enough of the talk. How about the action? China's in a perfect position to do this. Now, I was emphasizing to you yesterday, we were getting sort of the emerging details of what Xi and President Trump had talked about in as far as arranging a deal. And there's an element that, that I've been dwelling on a lot in the last 24 hours, and it's the purchase of American oil. The President of the United States. The White House released a statement yesterday saying that China has agreed to purchase more oil. At least they've discussed the idea of them purchasing more American oil. Now, as I, as I told you yesterday, that would be wonderful because that's the kind of export that China can't steal the intellectual property from. It's just a commodity which they desperately need, and it'd be better if they bought it from us, a wonderful constitutional republic and not a crazy terror regime that they buy it from on the black market called Iran. Let's, let's get more, more of our oil sold in China so we can generate more American jobs and revenue here in the United States. And we defang the terror regime which is getting all of this Chinese money. It's great in every sense. It's the President able to achieve both economic and national security goals. But here's the other thing. By announcing that China is going to purchase more US Oil, this is the kind of thing, this is, this is the wisdom of the President. This is the kind of thing that can rattle Iran into making a deal. When Iran sees this, that all of a sudden, wait a second, China's going to move away from us, we're going to get less money from China, which is our number one buyer, number one buyer of oil. China buys 90% of Iran's oil. If they're going to reroute their market to, to the United States, that comes in Iran's actual monetary expense. And so, in other words, this is pressure on Iran to hurry up and make a deal before China reroutes all of that business to the United States. So that's a, that's a smart move on the White House's part to release that information. Because regardless of what comes of it and how big the purchases from China actually are, it places immense pressure on Iran to make a deal so that. That's great. And then the President says, look, she offered, he offered. And the President's like, well, I'd be happy to have his help, but we don't even need it. In fact, here's Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, sitting down in a separate interview and saying, president Trump didn't even ask for China's help here. It's a huge issue, but we didn't even ask. Here's Rubio. Watch. What exactly did President Trump ask President Xi for when it comes to Iran?
Marco Rubio
He didn't ask him for anything. I mean, we're not asking for China's. We don't need their help.
Adam Morgan
But he raises the issue.
Marco Rubio
We raise the issue to make clear what our position is and to make it clear so they understand, because, I mean, it's logical we would talk about it, given how dominant that issue is. Our position is very clear. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And that's what they were. You know, they were trying. They were on the verge of building a conventional capability where they had so many rockets, so many drones that you couldn't do anything against them. They would hide behind that conventional shield to do whatever they wanted with their nuclear program in the future.
Vince
Future.
Marco Rubio
That's why the President chose to act in response to that. Iran has decided that they're going to take an international waterway and turn it into theirs and charge tolls for it. We're not going to allow that to happen. And that's why there's a blockade as a direct result of what they've done.
Vince
Yeah. Look, this has been the theme throughout all of this. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I mean, chat. If I. If I were to ask anybody here in chat, what's the President's goal? Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's it. That's it. Everything else is negotiable. That one. Not negotiable. Not negotiable at all. That's the red line. So when the president, you know, gets these. Is in the midst of these offers and counteroffers and responses, you know what? He's looking for it. All he does is scan the letter. He'll scan the response, and he'll look for the one line about nuclear program, and if it doesn't satisfy him, he tears up the whole letter and throws it out. Don't believe me? Watch. Here he is on Air Force One explaining this to Philosophy. Watch this. Have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran or where does that stand?
President Trump
No, I looked at it. And if I don't like the first sentence, I just throw it away.
Vince
What was the first sentence?
President Trump
An unacceptable sentence because they fully agreed no nuclear. And if they have any nuclear of any form. I don't read the rest of the.
Vince
I just didn't read it. Now, I don't know if they do put it right in the first sentence, but that makes sense if I'm, if I'm the President of the United States and my time is valuable and I'm like, all right, well, here's the thing. Let me just scan it. What do they say about nukes? Oh, they want to keep them. Throw it out, out the door, light it on fire if you have time for that. No, no deal. No deal. Now we get rid of your nukes. The rest is going to be great. The rest will be wonderful. This is so easy. You can do it. Iran, you can do it. A bright future awaits. A very bright future. So the President insisting on that. He says Xi Jinping agrees that they can't have nuclear weapons. But, you know, just like you, I, I see people in chat saying, I don't trust Xi. Yeah, me neither. He's full of Xi, that guy. I don't, I don't trust that guy at all. His ambition is Chinese dominance of the planet. And that continues to be the case. And, you know, he can try and sugarcoat it and dress it up, but that, that is what they're trying to do. And so, you know, I mean, the President's aware of this. They went through a very high stakes negotiation this week. He's dealing with this guy man to man, trying to treat him really nicely. The President was, to be clear, very grateful for the treatment that he received from the Chinese delegation. Although apparently The Chinese, the ChiComs, treated our, our, our Secret Service and our press corps like crap. Don't do that. Don't do that. Our, our press corps. We have a lot of people in the press corps who suck. We can treat them like crap, but you don't get to treat them like crap. ChiComs, that's not, that's for us to do. We, we, we can handle that. Don't treat them like garbage because they're Americans. They're Americans. And we saw a lot of, like, shoving people and like, what the hell you think you're doing? There's a lot, a lot of conflict on the sidelines. But the President, you know, he was, he worked it out with Xi Jinping. He invited him to come visit the White House in September. And now he's back, heading back to the United States of America and I imagine chat that while he's flying on Air Force One, I think his Truth Social is going to stay very busy. I think he'll be all over Truth Social. He's been away from it for a couple days. He'll check in here and there when he's over in, in China. But now he's, now he's weapons free. He's back on board Air Force One. Plenty of things to post on Truth Social, so I imagine we'll hear from him a lot in the next 24 hours. He's already busy posting to Truth Social, so we'll keep our eyes on them. Pretty great. But I'll be glad to have him back in the United States of America where he can focus on other domestic concerns as well, because we've got a lot to deal with. Luckily, the vice President of the United States was dealing with some of that yesterday. He had, he went to Maine to deal with fraud. I love, I love JD Vance on this fraud issue. I can't, I can't be happier with the nest because like, talk about you got such a smart, high profile, powerful guy in our government, obsessed with this issue of fraud, running fraud force and heading to Maine yesterday to announce that the Maine governor, Janet Mills, has been a total jackass when it comes to dealing with fraud in her state. She's been totally unserious. So JD Goes directly to that wonderful, beautiful state and he says more fraud arrests are coming. Let's Turn now to J.D. vance. Here's what he had to say yesterday.
J.D. Vance
Cut forward, watch this million dollars of your money. And the government wasn't even paying attention to it. One of the best things that you can do when you go and arrest somebody and throw them in prison when they break the law is, yes, it's justice for that one person, but it also sends a message to all the other fraudsters that we're not going to tolerate this crap anymore. So we have got to get serious. And sir, we have, I promise you that we have.
Vince
More fraud arrests are coming. So, you know, there's been, how many times have we seen the blue ribbon commissions and congressional panels and investigations and letters and all sorts of nonsense about like, oh, this seems like a real problem, waste, fraud and abuse. And now you got a Trump administration actually making arrests. Yeah, and a lot of, and they're scoring a lot of convictions, too. And a lot of these guys are Somalis. Let's be honest about that. We've had a lot of Somali that's not exclusively Somalis, but it's been a Lot of Somalis in the state of Minnesota on Tampon Tim's watch, and also in a place like Maine, which, for those of you are paying attention to what's happening in your own country, Maine has a massive Somali population. A lot of Somalis who come to the United States were dropped in Maine over the years, and in some cities in Maine have their compositions changed entirely in a very short window of time. And, you know, it goes back to. We talk about the Somalis and the theft. It goes back to what we saw in November. You know, the New York Times puts this piece out where they're describing all of the Somali theft that's happening in Minnesota. And they consulted a Somali American expert and they said, why is this happening? Why is this. Why are the Somalis stealing $20 billion from taxpayers in Minnesota? And he explained, it's very simple. He said, look, a lot of these people, they were directly from Somalia. And in Somalia, it is a cultural norm to steal from the government. The government is so corrupt and so destroyed there that people feel like the only way they can get ahead is by stealing from the government, and then they bring that culture with them. And in Minnesota, the Democrats are so freaking permissive when it comes to American taxpayer dollars. That that combination of being permissive and having a culture of corruption, culture of fraud that goes together, boom. American taxpayer dollars go out the door. This is the New York Times sort of casually explaining, this is a cultural phenomenon. It's part of their culture. Well, it's not part of my culture. Stealing is not part of the American culture. Law and order is the American culture. Liberty is the American culture. And how do you have a free country? How do you have a high trust society? You don't steal from us. We don't steal from each other. And if anybody attempts to steal, they're hold accountable. Held accountable by the law, or we throw your ass out of the country. Those are your options. Those are our options. Technically. The second you try and break our laws, we get to decide what to do with you in that system. And so, you know, in Maine, you got this massive Somali population, too. We've had enough of it. You've had enough of it, right, Chet? When you've got hundreds of billions of dollars being stolen every year from us and by Somalis and everybody else, these are all. And this is. And they're in bed with Democrats as theft is happening. We're done with this. So J.D. vance is. Is. Is diving in. And this is not a small task. You know, there's no question you Know, you look around President Trump, there are people around him who clearly have presidential ambitions. This is a big conversation that's been happening, especially this week. President Trump raised it again about JD Vance or Marco Rubio. And, you know, we'll see what the future holds with any of these guys. But if you're, if these are. These are guys who are thinking about their political futures, you don't normally undertake something that's this high risk. If you're looking for a glide path to a presidential nomination, just keep your head down. You just, you know, try and pull a coma. Don't do anything. But that's not what J.D. vance is doing. J.D. vance is taking on very high risk tasks right now. Those include taking care of domestic fraud, which is at a massive scale. So he'll be judged on the success here of the fraud operation, of the anti fraud operation. The other thing he's got is the President has tasked him with leading a lot of the Iran negotiations. That's about as high stakes as it gets. And so this is not like Kamala World, where she can't even tell you the difference between Russia and Ukraine and where they are. This is a very high stakes thing. So cool to see Vice President Vance in Maine yesterday. And while he was there, he called for deporting and jailing fraudsters. In fact, somebody in the crowd suggested that we send the fraudsters to Gitmo, and JD Vance agreed. He said that'd be great. We should send the fraudsters to Grit my. I think that's kind of fun. Watch JD Vance yesterday as he says this. And I'll tell you how Kamala's team responded to it. Cut five. Watch.
J.D. Vance
Do you like having a state governor who doesn't work with the federal government to fight against fraud? So let's kick Janet Mills to the curb and let's send Paul LePage to Washington to help us fight the fraudsters and protect all of you. This guy just said send him to Gitmo. No comment, sir. But I kind of like sending the fraudsters to Gitmo.
Adam Morgan
We got to get him out of
J.D. Vance
this country and we got to get him in prison.
Vince
We gotta send him to Gitmo. I totally. Gitmo might be too nice for him. Actually, Gitmo might be too nice. Remember we were talking recently about how some of the January 6th detainees in Washington, D.C. treated like utter garbage by the left in custody at one point, we're asking for a transfer to Gitmo because they get better treatment in Guantanamo. I'm not looking for better Treatment for fraudsters. I want to launch these guys into the sun. I don't want them to get good treatment. But the guy goes, send him to Gitmo. And I love J.D. he said, yeah, yeah, that'd be good. That'd be good. You know, it's funny. So that clip what I just shared with you, Kamala Harris's social media team. Yeah, she's got a social media team. They're called HQ News. Now, they posted this and chat. I want you to pay attention to the language that they use to describe it. Look at this. J.D. vance appears to call for jailing Democrats who oppose MAGA. We got to get them out of this country, and we got to get them in prison. You see this? Now, you and I just heard the same audio, right? The audio where JD Vance says, we have to send the, quote, fraudsters out of this country and put them in prison. Fraudsters. Kamala's team heard that, and they thought that he meant Democrats. Well, I mean, if you're admitting it, could you imagine. And I'm not making it. Look, let me play. I'm going to play the clip directly from their own page. Look at this. This is. This is again the same.
J.D. Vance
Do you like having a state governor who doesn't want to work with the federal government to fight against fraud? So let's kick Janet Mills to the curb, and let's send Paula Page to Washington to help us fight the fraudsters and protect all of you. This guy just said send him to Gitmo. No comment, sir. But I. I kind of. I kind of like sending the fraudsters to Gitmo.
Adam Morgan
We got to get him out of
Vince
this country, and we got to get him in prison here. We got to get the fraudsters out of this country. We got to get them in prison. Kamala's team concluded that JD Vance was talking about Democrats. Oh, that's funny. That's right. Well, at least now they're admitting it. That's how brazen they've become. Actually, speaking of brazen and Kamala, I've got some. Some audio to share with you in a moment. Kamala Harris is being very brazen right now. In fact, that idiot wrote down a list of the ways she wants to be tyrannical towards this country if she ever gets power back. And I got to warn you about something in a moment because we laugh at Kamala and how ridiculous she is, but there is reason to be concerned about her. I've got more detail coming up in just a moment here on this edition. Events want to thank our great sponsors today who, who do make the program possible.

All right, so let me, let me set this next clip up for you because we have to go through it because this is a warning and this is by the way, the clip I'm about to show you should dwell somewhere in your easy to access memory. You should remember this for a while because we're going to have to pull this up every so often as we talk about what the left's plans for this country continue to be. It's just out in the open, but here is the current state of affairs in the Democrat Party. I just pulled up the recent surveys for the 2028 Democrat presidential primary. This is on the New York Times. And they keep track of all of the most recent polls on this subject. And you can see they've got among the six candidates that they, that they're considering the highest ranking in all of the polls. You've got Kamala Newsom, Boot Edge, Edge, Agent of Chaos, Josh Shapiro and J.B. pritzker. Okay, those are your six. Now in the most recent poll, Agent of Chaos is number one. AOC is Number one in that poll, but that's an outlier poll. Now, it may be the case that Democrats prefer her over the rest of the field, but right now it's not statistically meaningful. Here's what is in the priority. That's four surveys, five surveys, six surveys, seven surveys, eight surveys. Just basically through all of these averages, you start looking at the data here, what you're discovering is it's common. Everything's coming up Kamala in the 2028 presidential primary field. Now, Kamala Harris has never actually won a presidential primary ever, despite the fact that she was the nominee in 24. That was merely handed to her. And they screwed over their own primary voters. This is how, by the way, this is how compliant and weak the Democrat primary voters are. If they're willing to say that Kamala is their girl at this phase, with that fresh loss and that fresh imposition just behind them, they're willing to suffer anything. Like the Democrats can literally crap all over their base and they're still willing to side with them. That's dedication. That is a cult like dedication to the left. But Kamala Harris, right now look at the survey data. She comes in an easy first place against the rest of the field. 38% support Gavin Newsom's the next closest. 16%, 50% support Gavin Newsom with 22. In another survey, it's closer. 22% support Gavin Newsom with 15. So I'm telling you right now, as as goofy and as alcoholic as Kamala Harris is, she is the number one candidate at the moment in all of the available surveys for the Democrat primary field. Okay, so what is her plan for the party? What does she want to do with all that power? Should she get it back? Watch her on a podcast this week saying, I don't. Is this a podcast? As a zoom call? Anyway, she blurred out the background because she was sitting in a liquor store. Here she is, Kamala Harris, threatening to destroy this country. Watch.
Kamala Harris
Are no bad ideas. No bad idea brainstorm is what I'd
Vince
like to call it.
Kamala Harris
And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the electoral college. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi member districts. Let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. these are the things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states, expanding their maps. And all of this, I think, is, look, we gotta Fight fire with fire. These folks are playing to win. We gotta play to win.
Vince
You hear what she's promising there? If we get power, we're going to pack the United States Supreme Court, we're going to create four new permanent United States Senators. We are going to destroy what the founders created in the Electoral College. We're going to establish something that's currently federally prohibited. Multi member districts in the United States Congress. This is how, this is how they're thinking. I've got to destroy this system so that my party has long term permanent power. That's Kamala Harris's game plan. She's stating it in the open. She's stating it in the open. You know, there used to be a time where this kind of thing would be concealed, where they wouldn't say it in public, where you'd be like, well, that might be a little too extreme for the voters to go for. They don't even care about voters. They have a radical dedicated base that can be, they can shit all over and they're still going to support them. And then they've got a rigged map that gives them 40 congressional seats that are totally unearned. And they've got rigged electoral systems across the country that we're trying to resolve with the Save America Act. And Kamala Harris's view is if I can use that system and get power, the second I do, what am I going to use with it? I'm going to do with it. I'm going to pursue more power, more rigged, unearned power to make sure that Republicans never again, conservative voters, normal people, never again get a foothold in their government. Never again should you be allowed to express your views in your governance. And it's so this idea that, like that the Democrats uphold democracy as they trample all over our constitutional republic. They don't care about democratic principles or norms at all. They're looking to devalue your vote. Even in purely democratic contests, like for instance, where you're voting for your member of Congress, where it is a question of democracy, who wins, who gets the most votes. In this district, that person becomes a member of Congress. Even in those contests, they're trying to water down the value of your vote. They're importing illegal aliens by the millions to diminish the value of every American vote. When it comes to congressional districting, many of those illegals have cast ballots in our elections, which diminishes the value of your vote in our electoral system. And the debt. And the goal of the Democrat Party is to turn all of those illegals into voting American citizens anyway, which devalues your vote. This is disenfranchisement at scale. And she's promising it. She's prom. She's running on it. And so I want to just say something really obvious about that clip. That clip should live to haunt her in the minds of every decent American who does still have a chance to dictate the future of their country going forward. We should definitely bring that one up a lot. So we're going to keep that one on standby. But that's. That's Kamala, the front runner for the 2028 presidential nomination for the Democrats, promising that she's going to destroy the country if she gets power again, which we knew would happen. But that's her saying it out loud. And by the way, did you notice that she had to look down at her notes because she couldn't remember it off the top of her head. She had somebody. Somebody wrote it for her on a. On a. On a note card or something. So she had to kept. For those of you watching rumble.com Vince, she had to keep glancing down at her notes to remember the other ways she wants to destroy the country. Yeah, let's keep her as far away from the. The White House as possible. Didn't go well the last time. One of the ways that we correct the. The problems here. Yeah. Look at her looking down at her notes. She thinks she's trying to play it off. Like, she's all cool about it, too. Like, she's real slick. Oh, look at that. My notes. And it like. Like she's like, that's the way she's thinking is by staring down sort of con artist. Not a very good one, but a complete con artist. Now, one of the ways we confront all of this is we try and regain some ground from the Democrats. How do we do that? Well, we go. We get some of these state backs. As I check my notes here, I'm looking here. I've got, oh, South Carolina. So here South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster yesterday with a massive announcement on this subject. Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina, Republican, has issued an executive order calling the General assembly back for an extra legislative session today, Friday, May 15th. And if you're listening to me live, it's coming up in a few short hours. It'll be 11am Eastern that they convene. This is to address the state budget and. And congressional districts. They got to get the map drawn. They got to get the map drawn. This is a big deal. And coming up, we're going to get into some more detail with a great guest on this subject who knows all about that great state of South Carolina. That's ahead on this edition events.

All right, as I mentioned a moment ago, the state of South Carolina is very interested in finally getting its districts redrawn to join us. Now to talk about this, I want to bring in Adam Morgan. He's a former Republican South Carolina state representative for District 20. So he knows all about that state legislature. Sir, good to have you on the program. Thank you.
Adam Morgan
Hey, thanks for having me on.
Vince
I appreciate you being here. Sir. Tell me, how big of a deal is this to have a special session called by the governor?
Adam Morgan
Well, it rarely happens and it was truly an uphill battle unfortunately to get here. I mean, just what, last week, every Republican leader in South Carolina, the head of the Senate, the head of the House, the speaker, the governor himself all opposed this. So you know, the Supreme Court strikes down race based gerrymandering. They tell us that our Democrat controlled district with Jim Clyburn, the guy that gave us Obama and the guy that gave us Kamala and Biden. I mean, because you know, South Khan is first in the south primary. He picked these and that's, that's how they got in office. We have the chance to get rid of them and Republican leadership didn't want to do anything. There was massive public outcry and thankfully they were forced to deal with it. The problem is the governor's called a special session. The House is saying that they're going to pass it. The leadership in the Senate, specifically the majority leader, a Republican, Shane Massie, who's actually a never Trumper, who, you know, endorsed Haley and can't stand Trump. He's telling everybody he's going to do everything he can to fight it. His allies already killed this once two days ago, and they have a play where if they can just stall it long enough till May 26, once early voting starts. Redistricting is dead in South Carolina this year, so we are by no means done with this. It's still very much an uphill fight and forcing the Senate to do it. But if we can just get the senators who say they support it, which are the majority, we have the numbers. If they actually vote on this, if they can force the holdouts to actually vote, we can win. The question is, can we do it?
Vince
Help me resolve some of their. So their. Their response to this. One of the responses we've heard from that Senator Massie is that allegedly, that if the map gets redrawn, he says this could blow up in the face of Republicans, that, in fact, Democrats could then win two seats rather than just the one that Clyburn has right now. Can you address that claim?
Adam Morgan
Yeah, that's political math or politician math. It's the same arguments. The Democrats. The Democrats were actually saying, hey, we. We like this. Y' all go ahead and redistrict. We've got no problems with this. And it was all complete gaslighting, because as soon as it became a reality that redistricting was likely happening, they freaked out. They did everything they could to oppose it. They tried to fill the committee room. They yelled during the hearings on the floor. They stalled and debated as long as they could. So it's just a false claim. And Massie and his allies, these Republicans, are claiming that that's the reality. But if you look at. I think the lowest one is a plus eight Republican. And, you know, even aside from all of that, it's like, are you going to follow the Constitution or not?
Vince
Yes.
Adam Morgan
That's really the question here. This is a majority minority district that was created in the 90s in order to try to force, you know, them having a black representative. And it's just like, that's blatantly racist. You're disenfranchising certain voters. You're trying to draw lines on the basis of people's skin color. And that's not what we do in this nation. Jim Crow was wrong, and majority minority districts is wrong. Are there Republicans to redraw the map?
Vince
Are there Republicans in South Carolina who really do think that Jim Clyburn is entitled to a seat? Is that. Is that an actual view?
Adam Morgan
Sean. Sean Massey, I mean, in his oration opposing redistricting, he said, hey, look, South Carolina, you know, gets a lot of stuff from Jim Clyburn when a Democrat is in office. And, and we're going to hurt South Carolina by getting rid of the only Democrat senator. His other quote was that Republicans are better when we have a strong, vibrant Democratic Party. You know, which is just insane.
Vince
Wait, wait, wait a second. Hold on, hold on.
Adam Morgan
A second party. Hold on. Be able to. And it's just wrong. 19 states have single party control of their congressional delegation. 19 states. And you're telling me that those 19 states get nothing from the federal government when the opposition parties in the White House. That's a lie. That's not how it works. Massey knows that every. The Democrats know that, but he's literally just re spouting the Democrat talking points because he wants to protect Clyburn and, and to kill the redistrict.
Vince
Can I. How did, how did having Biden in office help South Carolina exactly? Because Jim Clyburn handpicked Joe Biden to be the President of the United States. He conspired with Obama to throw out the rest of the field and have Joe Biden take the job that destroyed our borders. Inflation grew out of control. South Carolinians suffered because of Clyburn's behavior. In what world would any person not. Not Republicans, but Democrats say that Jim Clyburn should continue to have power in the United States of America.
Adam Morgan
It's just the corrupt uniparty. That's the only way to put it. I mean, these are Republicans that claim to be Republican and they don't. They have terrible voting records. When major issues like this come up before them, the world gets to see that these guys care more about protecting their politicians, even from supposedly the other party, than they do about their citizens. You're exactly right. The economy tanked, put our people at risk with illegal immigrants and taking jobs. I mean, all around, it's crazy and it's indefensible.
Vince
Well, also, it tells me that there are still Republicans, including who you're referring to, this Senator Massie in South Carolina, who are still beholden to this inverted sort of racial blackmail that the left wields, which is. It's a lie. It's a lie. They accuse the right of bigotry when they're the party who are drawing racially segregated districts. And there are still ignorant and very compliant Republicans who are scared of their own shadow, who fall for this garbage.
Adam Morgan
I mean, you're exactly right. This is really a moment that comes so rarely. It's once in a generation where the Supreme Court has finally said all the crap that we've dealt with for 30 years where racism was actually pushed as morality and used to wield the government to actually discriminate against people with affirmative action and majority minority districts and DEI in hiring and in training and all of that stuff. We finally have the chance to undo it. Republicans should be using it. I mean, it radicalized what, four generations of American youth and minority communities. So if you don't have the fortitude to stand up against that and actually, you know, get a win for Republicans and right or wrong, yes. Then you have no business being an elected office.
Vince
The story of great progress in civil rights in our country has always been courageous people standing up even in the face of people who are trying to stop them. That decision, Louisiana via Calais, is one of the most important civil rights decisions ever put out by the court. And any Republican with moral fortitude who cares about our country should stand up right now and fight to get rid of this sort of, this bigotry in our system. It is systemic racism. And I'm glad to see that, that we've compelled at least some people in South Carolina to fight back against it. It's so I wonder to what extent did the Indiana primary results shake some South Carolina legislators awake? Because in Indiana last year, we saw a sellout. Basically they rolled over for Democrats who've been stealing seats across the country. Over 40, by the way. 40 ill gotten seats at least across the country. And we just asked Indiana for two. We said, hey, could you fight for two? And they refused to. So we, we saw some, we saw real primary energy, including from the President. He got in there and endorsed. And all of these incumbents are getting thrown out on their ass. So what did that do in South Carolina? Did that shake anybody awake there?
Adam Morgan
Yeah, I think it absolutely did. Like I said, you saw basically the entire Republican establishment saying, oh, we, we're not going to do that. We don't have time. We, we oppose that to everybody except for five holdout senators changed their tune and supported it. And now it's happening. The only problem is, you know, Ralph Norman called for this to happen last August. The South Carolina Freedom Caucus filed the bill to do this in January because they knew the SCOTUS decision was likely coming. And yet nobody moved the bill. Nobody gave it a hearing. Nobody would listen until now when It's May and May 26th is the deadline where it'll die. And they only just listened once the Indiana primary results started rolling in. So yeah, it absolutely had major effect. The problem is that the establishment didn't listen to conservatives. We could have passed this map the day after the Supreme Court decision came down. But here we are. If you look at the timeline, and that's really what people need to do. The call to action is contact all of the Republican senators in the state of South Carolina because there's five holdouts that are opposing it. But we have a super majority. We can pass it even without them. The problem is if these other senators who say they support, who were terrified of the Indiana results, if they go along with the stall tactics that these five holdouts are pushing, like statewide public hearings, that'll take, you know, probably a week or more if they do that. And then if you look at the rules, they have to debate this for three days in order to pass it. That's under Senate rules. You start looking at the timeline. There is not much time here. And so that is the plan. So people have got to hound these Republican senators and tell them, get this done now. No delay. Don't play along with Massie and you know, his hooligans like, no, get it done and vote on this now.
Vince
Adam Morgan, do you have a list of these, of these guys who up on your account or somewhere? We can, we can see this and we can, we can play some phone calls, especially for the South Carolinians who are in our audience today?
Adam Morgan
Yeah, absolutely. We've been posting it pretty much daily. The different ways to get in touch with these legislators and the phone numbers. And I'll continue doing that, especially letting people know who additional holdouts might be. The main focus right now is Luke Rankin. He is a state senator from ori. That's Myrtle beach, if you're familiar with Myrtle beach, by the way, one of the most pro Trump areas in the country. One of the highest voting averages for him anywhere. And this is where Rankin represents. He voted for this previously, but he was on the fence and almost voted no. It is his committee, the Judiciary Committee, that this bill has to actually come out of. So he'll be the one that'll decide whether these hearings are going to happen, how long this is going to take. And so he's really the focus. And you can find his contact information, I mean, simply by googling South Carolina State Senator Luke Rankin email or phone. And then you can check my ex account, that's Rep. Adam Morgan. And I'll be pushing out the information on how to get a hold of these guys and who to contact.
Vince
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I think it's, I think it's worth letting people know that we care about how they govern That's a, that's a big deal. I mean, you've been in that position before as a state representative. It must mean something to you when you hear from your constituents.
Adam Morgan
Yeah, oh, absolutely. Yeah. Especially somebody that, that lives in your district that's telling you, hey, I expect you to do this. And with this one, it's, it's a simple question. Are you going to follow the Constitution or not? You actually took an oath to do just that, so get it done. No excuses.
Vince
Yeah. Why would a Republican sit there and be like, yeah, a racially segregated district is worth keeping? I mean, it was, it's like, what? And also, and like, and, and, and for Jim Clyburn, you know, if, if, if Senator Massey is right about how great he is for South Carolina, then let him win in a redrawn map. Let South Carolinians support Jim Clyburn, then like let him appeal to the I'm so great, I do great things for your state, then let them vote for him. But if he can't win in a non rigged map, it turns out that he shouldn't have been there to begin with.
Adam Morgan
Exactly. And you should see these lines. It's the same as you've seen in Mississippi and in Alabama. They draw these things that look like amoebas of some kind and the districts aren't fair. The new map is much better. It looks much more fair. And yeah, you're exactly right. If he's good for South Carolina, if he's got good ideas ideas. If he's not a radical socialist who actually pushes all the policies that will destroy this country, he'd be able to win.
Vince
Yeah, but of course he is all those things. He's awful. Well, I thank you, Adam Morgan. I appreciate you being here and forgive us an update on that. I mean, I'm very, I'm encouraged by it. I like to see that there's some fight and I like to see that, that the governor did this. It does seem like he was. So you're telling me he was kind of drag kicking and screaming into it. But, but he's called the special session.
Adam Morgan
Yeah. In fact, just to point that out, why are we in a place where the Republican Party, you know, this ruling came down and it's like the tale of four governors in all Republican states. All of them initially said, no, I mean, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, like what's going on? That they reflexively, they hear, hey, we're going to strike down, you know, majority minority, racist, unconstitutional districts. And they all say, you know, we don't have time for that. We're not going to do it. And it's only after massive pressure do they all, except for Mississippi, change tack and say, okay, we'll do it. Georgia says, well, we'll do it next cycle, which that indefensible. And then South Carolina and Alabama, both the governors had to completely flip their positions.
Vince
Yeah.
Adam Morgan
Once pressure came in, that. That just shows you the weakness of the Republican Party and how we've got to actually elect better Republicans. That's the answer to all of it.
Vince
I also think that this is just one of the products of politics, at least as it exists today, is like a lot of these guys are there for ego and not for outcomes. They're. People enjoy being called governor. They don't enjoy actually affecting positive change that's uncomfortable to pursue. You know, people love being called senator, but that's why I think some of these Republican senators would prefer to be in the minority because they get to be called senator and they don't have to actually do anything thing. So, you know, I mean, it's like, I just think this is kind of a. It's a cancer that exists in politics. And sometimes we have to shake these guys awake.
Adam Morgan
They don't want to fight the left. That's the key. They like the, the nice events and kissing babies and cutting ribbons, but when it comes to actually defending their people and the state and the Constitution, they don't. They don't want to want the fight. But I love it. Massey, you know, the only time he finds his spine in politics is to fight the conservatives, which. That tells you everything you need to know.
Vince
Yeah, it does. It does. It tells you literally everything. Adam Morgan, thank you very much, sir. Good to, Good to have you on the show today.
Adam Morgan
Thanks for having me on.
Vince
There he is former South Carolina state representative with an update there on what's going on in the Palmetto State. Yeah, now. Yeah. Don't you get the feeling, Chat, that that's the way it is? I mean, having never been a governor, but like just this idea that you've got state troopers and state police taking you all over the place. You're, like, surrounded by security. There's the governor and cutting ribbons and, you know, all this other stuff, and you get caught in the trappings of the job. You've been pursuing this. This thing forever, you know, and for what? For what? So everybody could be impressed by you, so they can call you governor for the rest of your life? Is that really why you want to do the job? I think there are lots of people who specifically do that, you know, or they can make a ton of money off of it. They trade on their access. It's corruption. But just what about people are fighting for you? What about people who are going to move without me calling them and telling them to. Whose instincts are, hey, maybe I should get rid of racist districts immediately. Let's do it for the people. Before I need any of my constituents to call me to tell me this is a good idea. That's what I'm looking for. If, if I'm looking for anybody in American politics, I'm looking for somebody who's got the instincts not to require a parole officer, not to require your phone call to get them to do the right thing. You know, you look at what's happened with Ron DeSantis down in Florida, DeSantis moved instantly. DeSantis like, yep, we're going to redraw the maps right away. We're getting rid of racist districts. The left is going apoplectic. Nobody had to hector Ron DeSantis into doing the job. He just did it. Yeah. The trappings of power, it's. It's amazing. Okay, we've got, we've got more for you. Let's see. I've got band. So much has transpired in the last 24 hours. I. What's my dog barking about? Rain is barking like crazy. We must have somebody at the door. All right, let's see. Let's. I want to take you to a hearing yesterday in Congress involving an out of control, Soros funded prosecutor called Steve Descano. I've told you at some length that there's a fellow called Steve Discountosaurus funded who keeps allowing illegal aliens back out of custody into the community to go on to stab American citizens to death like Stephanie Minter. And this all came to a head yesterday in a congressional hearing. And I'll remind you, Descano is currently under investigation by Harmony Dillon in the United States Department of Justice. And she says all these Soros prosecutors are up are up next, which I love. But he gets hauled before Congress yesterday and he seated alongside the sheriff of Fairfax County, Virginia, called Stacey Kincaid. Both of them are Democrats, both of them elected to the gig, both of them wreaking havoc on their community. And Jim Jordan confronts Steve Descano specifically about the fact that on his campaign website for years, it declared outright what his policy towards illegal aliens was, which is really straightforward, which is illegal aliens will not be treated as harshly as American citizens. That if you elect me, if I get to be the commonwealth attorney in Virginia, in Fairfax County, I Will go easier on illegals because there are, quote, immigration consequences by prosecuting them. And so we will factor in so called immigration consequences when we consider how to prosecute a bad guy, which means they go easy on illegals. And it's been on the website for many years. And as soon as they got a congressional request to appear, as soon as Descano did, he deleted it off of his website because he's orchestrating a cover up. Now, it's a clumsy one because we all knew about what was on the website. So here's Jim Jordan confronting him yesterday. Cut 6. Watch this.
Jim Jordan
Why did you change your website last month?
Steve Descano
Well, sir, your statements about we're not don't want to prosecute guys is absolutely false. And my policies.
Jim Jordan
I'm reading this here. Are you saying what the sheriff wrote me is wrong?
Steve Descano
No, what I'm saying is that the way that my policies have been.
Jim Jordan
December 16th.
Steve Descano
Presented in this.
Jim Jordan
You chose outrageous. She said the commonwealth's attorney, that's. You chose not to prosecute Mr. Morales Ortiz on December 16, and they had to release him. They had to do their job because you wouldn't prosecute what happened on December 17th, Mr. Descano?
Steve Descano
Well, do you not want me to talk to you about the actual case?
Jim Jordan
I want you to answer the first question I said, which was about the case. Change your website.
Steve Descano
Well, sir, because the website is not my policy. My policies do not say that we do not prosecute.
Jim Jordan
Well, if you're proud of your policies, why'd you change your website?
Steve Descano
Because that's not my policy. As I told you, sir, that is a campaign statement that I made before I was commonwealth.
Jim Jordan
You've been up for six years. A week after we send you a letter saying we want you to come testify, shazam, you change it.
Steve Descano
Because I could not.
Jim Jordan
Is that coincidental?
Steve Descano
Because I could not believe that somebody. That people were so obtuse that they could not realize what the difference between a campaign statement and an actual office policy.
Jim Jordan
So when you make campaign statements, that's not. The. Those aren't true. You're not being honest with your voters.
Steve Descano
That's not what I'm saying at all, sir.
Jim Jordan
Sure sounded like it.
Vince
I. Boy, this guy is not tested at all. He's. He's spent no time with anybody asking him serious questions about anything that he's done to this county just outside the nation's capital. He's destroyed it. American citizens getting stabbed to death. What a. Oh, yeah. That was just a campaign promise. I didn't mean it. I was lying to the Voters. And Jim Jordan calls him out on it. He goes, wait a second. So when you make a campaign promise that you're going to treat illegal aliens a lot better than American citizens, you're going to give them a get out of jail free card? When you make a campaign promise and then you got in office, you're saying you lied to the voters? That's not what I'm saying. That is precisely what he's saying. What a goon. That's precisely what this dude is saying. I'm lying to the voters. But here's the thing. He wasn't lying to the voters. He was telling the truth. That is actually how Steve Descano has governed his office. He lets illegal aliens go. He's fulfilling that campaign promise. So yesterday in Congress, he was lying about lying. Isn't that incredible? It's like a nesting doll of lies.
Kamala Harris
He's just.
Vince
It's. It's Inception. He's lying about his lies. Wow. Steve Discano. And Steve Discano is a bad man. Steve Discano should be in the jail that he's not currently putting illegal aliens in. That's where he should be. And Harmony, Dylan is breathing down his neck right now. They just announced this big public investigation into him. And so my guess is that part of the reason he was answering like a psychopath yesterday, and it sounds so, it's so, so nonsensical. He's all over the place. He's acting like he doesn't understand the questions is because he's currently under Justice Department investigation. He's under oath before Congress. He's given a bunch of answers. And no doubt Harmey Dillon was locked into her television screen yesterday to watch this. Heck, she may have been in the room. And of course in the room was Stephanie Minter's mother. Cheryl Minter was there. And Descano made a big show of apologizing to her. I'm so sorry that you lost your daughter. He's a. He's a con artist. When he walked into that room, he didn't even look at her. He didn't give us his sob statement until the cameras were rolling. George Soros has really screwed up this country a lot. And Steve Discano is an expression of that. And Stephanie Minter's death is a horrific, bloody expression of that. Yeah, Yesterday also, there was a. An expert on the panel at that hearing. An expert, we say in quotation marks. He's an open borders advocate from something called the Cato Institute. They love open borders. And so this guy shows up and he started bragging that huge numbers of people in Fairfax County, Virginia are illegal or live with illegal aliens. So we can't deport them because that would affect 20% of the entire county. Am I hearing this correctly? Cut 8. Listen to this.
J.D. Vance
The first step would be to give
Vince
up on the mass deportation fantasy.
J.D. Vance
About one in five Fairfax residents is
Vince
someone who could be deported or who lives with them. It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers, nurses, nannies, and teachers. 20% of the entire county is either illegal or lives with illegals. That doesn't sound like a massive crisis to you? That we've been invaded to that level that. That Democrats have so thoroughly destroyed what you and I knew of as a country that anybody can just pour in. Oh, that would just upset everybody who lives there. Are you serious right now, my friend? I think it was Blake Neff who posted this yesterday. Is like, well, I just figured out an easy way to solve the housing crisis. Deport everybody. Get them the hell out of the country. If Cato's revealing that nearly 20% of the county, again, either illegal or lives with illegals, we've got a lot of work to do. Let's get the mass deportations ramped up. And you don't have to go far. It's just outside the nation's capital. Imagine having that position and pretending like you're the moral person, like that you're taking a position of virtue here. Oh, yeah, it's wonderful. Our country's overflowing with illegal aliens as that guy is looking for cheap, exploitable labor at the expense of American citizens. Yeah, pretty sick stuff. And that. And the Democrats, of course, called that guy as a witness yesterday in a hearing about illegal aliens murdering Americans with the permission of Soros funded prosecutors. Pretty sick stuff. Before we go today, I. I do want to share. Let me see. Should we do fake news of the week, guys? Should we? I feel like Friday is a good time to end with the left's fake story of the week. I feel like it's a perfect time. It's Friday after all. I mean, we're looking back on the week, so that gives us this opportunity. Ladies and gentlemen, here we go. And now it's time for the Left Fake Scandal of the Week. Extra, extra. All right. Today's Left Fake Scandal of the Week. I love how some people are like, Vince, you already did a left fake scandal of the week. I know. That's part of the fun. We do lots of Left Fake Skittles of the week right now. We've got one about Cash Patel. Have you noticed how much they hate cash? They really hate cash. Cash derangement syndrome. KDS is a, is a massive thing. Well, I don't know. What is it about Cash that they don't like? Is it chat? What is it about Cash in particular they don't like Cash Patel? It's like, you know what, because he wasn't a part of the club, because he was exposing the deep state, he was working on the House intel community to reveal all of the crimes and the corruption, he's finally in a position to do something about it. He's actually taking care of all the left wing crime in the country. They're dropping the murder rates, the fentanyl's dropping. The FBI has been helping with deportations. What is it about Cash Patel? Is it the fact that he's a brown guy? Is that what it is? Is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah, I love it. Games jumping in my ear to say what I was saying at that exact moment. It's, it's that he's brown. They don't like a minority dude. That's maybe that's what it is. Just typical Democrat bigotry. What could it possibly be? Anyway, they hate the guy. They really, really hate the guy. And this week the Associated Press, which is a ridiculous operation. Why can't AP style be the truth? I say this all the time. You know all these journalists all across the country, these would be journalists, they're coming up through J school and they're taught AP style, AP style should be the truth. And unfortunately it's not. Look at this piece from a fellow called Jim Mustian. Mr. Mustian over at the Associated Press. AP investigations, new FBI director Cash Patel went on a VIP snorkel at USS Arizona on Hawaii stopover. Military emails show quote, it's like having a bachelor party at a church. Marine veteran tells Associated Press chat. Anybody been to the Arizona before? The USS Arizona? The Arizona is one of the most solemn memorials in our whole country. It is a grave site. The Arizona was shipped, sunk rather in the attack on Pearl harbor by the Japanese. And rather than remove the ship, it has been left as a permanent tomb for the sailors that lie within. In fact, through the years, as survivors of the attack on the USS Arizona have passed away, many of them have had their remains entombed inside of the ship to join their shipmates. It is a place that you go with utter reverence. It's an amazing. It's an amazing place. I've been there many times. And when you Go. You're as silent as someone who's attending a funeral. You're there. It's a very. It's a spiritual atmosphere. It'll really make you love your country. Now, Kash Patel is undoubtedly a man who loves this country. Not even a question, not even a hesitation as we make this assessment. And it turns out that the United States military, on occasion, will confer a rare privilege on VIPs, on senior level military officials, senior government officials, people like the director of the FBI, they allow them to actually get in the water in the vicinity of the Arizona and to get a closer look at it underwater, to put a dive mask on, in this case, a snorkel, and just observe it from a distance. In fact, these VIP visitors are told not to touch the ship, not to get close enough that you can touch it, but certainly to observe. Sounds like one of the most extraordinary and rare privileges that anybody who loves this country can ever have. It would make me nervous just to be in the water in the vicinity of the Arizona. The story the Associated Press is reporting on, if it were reported honestly, is that Kash Patel was given a rare privilege and he was able to get an up close appreciation for one of America's most important war memorials. Why is this a scandal? Because they put the word snorkel in the headline. They made it seem like it was a cruise excursion. Like the guy was going off to observe colorful fish or something. Like he was in between drinks. He just wanted to stick his face in the water and enjoy a tropical paradise. This isn't. You don't do this for a joyride. You do this because you love your country. You do this because you want to get an appreciation for the heroes who have made our country possible, for the history that we've endured. Kash Patel is a good and decent man who's done wonderful things in the job. And the Associated Press is attacking him right now for visiting a war memorial. They're psychos. Ben Williamson is a spokesman over at the FBI. He reacted to this yesterday. The AP is attempting to spin an invitation from the commanding general of Indopacom to a military base as a party or vacation, which is so stupid. The Department of War routinely does these engagements with interagency partners to include this one. And when Cash was chief of Staff for the Department of Defense under Trump, Won Patel offered the same event for many other partners that came to visit. It's a historical tour to honor heroes who died on the USS Arizona. It's not a party, but the Associated Press is disgusting. This frame up is a disgrace. This is not news. This is a hoax. This is a hoax. And good for Cash Patel for loving our country enough to to to be interested in what the Arizona means to our history. And shame on these morons who these scandals just become dumber and dumber and dumber. And that's why once again, we've got another left wing scandal of the week. And those will keep coming, I assure you. As always. I hope you have an incredible weekend. Thanks for spending so much time with me this week. It's just been been great.

VINCE Podcast – Episode 290: “They Just Said The Quiet Part Out Loud”
Host: Vince Coglianese | Cumulus Podcast Network
Date: May 15, 2026
In this Friday edition, Vince Coglianese delivers his signature blend of sharp news analysis, conservative commentary, and spirited interviews. The episode tackles developments from President Trump’s recent foreign trip, US-Chinese-Iranian diplomacy, intensifying efforts to combat fraud in US welfare programs, the 2028 Democratic primary landscape, battles over congressional redistricting in South Carolina, and a congressional grilling of a controversial prosecutor. Vince and his guests combine detailed policy discussion with biting asides and memorable one-liners, aiming to both inform and galvanize his large national audience.
China Trip & Intelligence: President Trump and his delegation are coming back from China, with security-minded protocol—dumping Chinese-provided electronics, lanyards, and other gifts to avoid spyware.
China, Iran, and US Oil: Trump, in a FOX interview, relayed that Xi Jinping offered to help open the Strait of Hormuz. Vince is skeptical, urging action over empty promises.
US Oil Exports as Leverage: Vince highlights the tactical benefit of promoting US oil exports to China—both to economically benefit the US and pressure Iran by threatening their main oil market.
Trump’s Red Line on Iran: Both Marco Rubio and President Trump stress that Iran having a nuclear weapon is non-negotiable.
Fraud Enforcements in Maine: Vance travels to Maine to address welfare fraud, criticizing Governor Janet Mills, and warning that more fraud arrests—including among the Somali immigrant community—are forthcoming.
Cultural Norms & Accusations of Enabling: Vince riffs on a NYT article blaming a "cultural norm" for Somali theft, juxtaposed with what he calls Democratic permissiveness.
Enforcement Rhetoric – Gitmo for Fraudsters: Vance (half-jokingly) agrees with an audience member about sending fraudsters to Guantanamo Bay.
Media & Political Framing: Vince notes Kamala Harris’s team spun Vance’s words as wishing to jail Democrats, which he mocks as an accidental "admission."
2028 Democratic Primary: Kamala Harris is the clear early front-runner, with Vince lampooning her unpopularity and suggesting Democratic voters’ loyalty is “cult-like.”
Harris’s Power Agenda: On a recent podcast/Zoom call, Harris lists priorities: abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Court, statehood for Puerto Rico and DC, multi-member districts—explicitly aiming to cement Democratic control and “neutralize” red states.
Vince’s Reaction: He warns listeners to remember this clip as evidence of the Democrats’ intent to upend constitutional norms for partisan advantage.
Special Legislative Session: Governor Henry McMaster calls the legislature back to redraw gerrymandered districts, with heavy focus on dismantling a long-standing majority-minority district held by Democrat Jim Clyburn.
Guest Interview: Adam Morgan (Former SC State Rep)
Bureaucratic Apathy & Ego Critique: Vince argues too many politicians prefer status and ribbon-cutting to tough action, contrasting Ron DeSantis’s swift action on Florida’s maps with the hesitance elsewhere.
Jim Jordan Grills Fairfax County Prosecutor: Progressive prosecutor Steve Descano, called before Congress, is confronted for quietly deleting from his website a policy of leniency for illegal immigrants facing prosecution.
Vince’s Take: Calls Descano a “nesting doll of lies,” asserting his actual policies do in fact favor non-prosecution of illegals.
Hearing “Expert” from Cato Institute: Open borders advocate claims 20% of Fairfax’s population are either undocumented or live with someone undocumented—so deportation would be catastrophic to the local fabric. Vince is incredulous, calling for mass deportation and framing it as “solving the housing crisis.”
On Iran’s Nuclear Program:
“If I don’t like the first sentence, I just throw it away.”
— President Trump, 08:59
On Fighting Fraud:
“More fraud arrests are coming.”
— J.D. Vance, 12:37
“No comment, sir. But I kind of like sending the fraudsters to Gitmo.”
— J.D. Vance, 17:28
On Democrats’ Quiet Plan:
“We gotta neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states expanding their maps. And all of this, I think, is, look, we gotta fight fire with fire.”
— Kamala Harris, 25:14
On Fake Scandals:
“This is not news. This is a hoax. This is a hoax. And good for Cash Patel for loving our country enough to be interested in what the Arizona means to our history.”
— Vince, 1:00:45
Vince’s delivery throughout is punchy, confrontational, and laced with humor and sarcasm. He mixes serious conservative policy analysis with mockery—especially of Democratic leaders—offering both insider takes and red-meat rhetoric for his base.
This episode of VINCE typifies the podcast’s promise: unvarnished right-leaning analysis, clear opinions on the day’s news (with a focus on election integrity, law enforcement, and cultural battles), and a commitment to “saying the quiet part out loud”—from alleged Democratic overreach to media double standards and risky Republican reluctance. It’s must-listen content for the show's target audience and a window into the present tenor of populist-conservative discourse.
