Foreign. Oh, man. We just got some survey data yesterday that. Well, it's not shocking, but it is appalling. I'm looking at numbers right now that demonstrate that huge percentages of the left's base are conspiracy theorists. They're lunatics. They have no idea what's going on in the world. They are convinced of massive numbers of lies. And those lies primarily revolve around one person. That's Donald Trump. The left has, has such widespread Trump derangement syndrome that they don't know anything about the guy and they assume the worst about him to the point that they're willing to believe the most delusional possible conspiracy theories. Like Donald Trump has been plotting his own assassination attempts. Yeah, you heard me correctly. Now, you may have encountered this in the wild. People who think that President Trump staged the attack in Butler, Pennsylvania during the presidential election of 2024. You may have encountered somebody like that in the wild. What you might not have realized, though, is just how widespread that conspiracy theory actually is. And now we have some number, we have numbers to help us understand this. This was done by YouGov. YouGov. Not, not some, you know, right wing polling firm or anything. And they found that 42% of Democrats believe that the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on President Trump was staged. 42%, nearly half of all Democrats think that President Trump was not genuinely nearly assassinated on that Stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. 42% of Democrats must think that Corey Comparator was never murdered that day. 42% of Democrats must believe that he was like a crisis actor or something, that this was all a con. 42% of Democrats believe that President Trump's ear wasn't shot, that that was some sort of movie effect and that Donald Trump is just a phenomenal actor. 42% of Democrats believe that there was no assassination attempt. It's insanity. And then you start looking at the other assassination attempts that we all know about, and you see that there's similar data here. 34% of Democrats, over a third of them, think that the White House Correspondents dinner attack didn't happen, that it was staged, that there was nothing authentic about it, it wasn't a real assassination attempt. And 26% of Democrats believe that the Ukrainiac Ryan Ruth did not attempt to assassinate President Trump while he was lying in wait in the bushes with a gun at that golf course in Florida. 26. So huge numbers of Democrats. And then you start going down the scale to other party affiliations. Independents, independents. And I assure you that among the independents who think that President Trump faked it, they're really Democrats who call themselves independent. I'm not Democrat. I'm progressive. Okay. 23% of those think that the White House Correspondents Dinner attack was faked. 21% think that Butler was faked. 14% think the attack at the golf course was faked. And then if you want to dive into the data here a little bit more, you get down to Republicans. How many Republicans think that President Trump faked his own assassination attempts? Well, now you get down to the. This is. I, I am doubtful of these numbers. I'm doubtful that these are authentic Trump voters. These are like either Bill Kristol Republicans, people who pretend to be Republican but hate everything about the Republican Party, that especially with Donald Trump as the leader of it, or these are people lying to the pollsters that are saying, yeah, I'm a Republican and I think Trump faked it. Okay, sure. Here's the numbers. White house Correspondents Dinner. 13%. No way. Not, not a chance. 13% of Republicans think that President Trump faked it. 7% think that President Trump faked the other two attacks. Now, again, I'm going to discount this for a number of reasons to include the fact that Trump voters are notoriously difficult to poll. You ask any pollster about this, they'll tell you you just get a lot of what they used to call, the phenomenon was called shy Trump voters, just basically. And I, but I don't meet a lot of shy Trump voters. I just meet Trump voters who are, who are done with the crap. And they get a call from a pollster and they're like, yeah, I'm not interested in not playing with your stupid game. And they hang up on them. Or, or they don't answer the. Like, how do you even poll people these days? You get an unknown number calling your cell phone. Do you answer every unknown number? I don't. Do you really answer these, Chad, do you answer unknown numbers? If somebody calls you from a random number, do you answer? I don't answer random numbers. Ever. Nope. Go to voicemail. Keep calling. Blocked. That's it. No, I don't. No. No way. Just know if I know you. I answer, yeah. Nope, I'm seeing it. In the. Yeah, no, nobody answers the random numbers. Yeah. So again, how do you even do this? But the numbers with Democrats, though, the numbers with Democrats, even if they're off by a couple of percentage points in the accuracy here, I'm telling you, we're at crisis levels. You can have massive numbers of an entire country's population who are deluded to the point that they straight up believe complete lies about the other political party. Trump faked it. This is psychosis. This is at scale psychosis. And it will destroy our republic if it is allowed to continue to fester. Now, here's the toxic brew we're dealing with on the left. In addition to believing lies about the President of the United States, like this idea, like, why would he even fake it? The whole thing is so crazy. In addition to believing the lies, the same group of people also want to see Trump die. You've got this weird combination. I don't know, maybe it's not that weird. It's just like this. Everything is filtered through the lens of contempt for Trump. But they both simultaneously believe Trump is faking his own assassination. At scale, they believe this, and then also at scale, they hope someone assassinates Trump. So which one is it? You want to kill the guy or the guy's merely pretending that people want to kill him? Which one is it? Lefties. Because one of the things that we've talked about, unfortunately we had, we've had to talk about routine basis, is the assassination culture that has overtaken left. If you go back to that data from Rutgers University, the network Contagion Research Institute, what they found is that 55%, 55% of Libs think that killing Trump would be justified. This was in July of. Excuse me, this was in April of 2025. April of 2025, last year. And nearly half of libs think that killing Elon Musk, 48% would be justified, according to this data. Survey finds that assassination, assassination culture on the American left has been growing since the attempt and killing of President Trump in July of 2024. Data released from the network Contagion Research institute found that 48% and 55% respectively, of left of center people, at least somewhat justifying the murder of Elon Musk and President Trump. The findings come after a historically violent election season in 2024, which of course saw two very public assassination attempts on President Trump in July and September. Here's what the NCRI wrote. These attitudes are not fringe. They reflect an emergent assassination culture grounded in far left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in Digital discourse, the researchers wrote. The group produced its study with the Rutgers University Social Perception Laboratory and surveyed 1,264 U.S. citizens about their attitudes toward political violence. You got it. These attitudes are not fringe. They reflect an emergent assassination culture grounded in far left authoritarianism. Far left authoritarian. Now, this is the same party that's constantly preaching to you that it upholds democracy, that is dedicated to the people, that it's about the power of our democracy. When they don't even believe in that, and you can quibble with them all the time, you can be like, guys, we're not a direct democracy. The founders were really intentional about this. We're a constitutional republic. That's not actually in any way the conversation they're even attempting to have. They're pretending like they are a people powered movement, that they respect the will of voters when that's not the case at all. They just wear virtue as a skin suit and then tell you to actually kind of work against your own values. They try and exploit your fundamental decency for their own power. This is why they use the language that you might be familiar with. Power to the people. You should respect democracy. These types of things. These are appealing virtue signals, because you hear them and you're like, well, yes, of course the people should be empowered. Of course the people should be respected. Of course you should respect the will of the voters. They're speaking to you using something that you would identify with the virtues that you care about, but they're trying to use your actual virtue as a weapon against you. That's the way the left always operates. That's why they dress up things like bigotry. And then they'll tell you you're a bigot if you don't support left wing bigotry. You got it. It's all projection. So that's what's happening here. So this is the toxic rule. We've got people who doubt that President Trump was actually attacked by lefties over and over and over again who've been trying to kill him. And simultaneously, this massive group of lefties would also like to see Trump die. Hmm. Okay, so what do we do about this? Well, it would help if we could identify where the hell this is all coming from. Why is it that so many left wingers are a part of this cult of conspiracy? The answer, of course, is found in their leaders. In their leaders. When you've got people like Chuck Schumer standing on the steps of the United States Supreme Court, threatening Supreme Court justices, and then lefties turning around Weak and vicious minded lefties instantly turning around and attempting to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. There's a pretty clear line between those events. Chuck Schumer is the one who is both spreading and cultivating the conspiracy theories against the court. And Hakeem Jeffries does it, too, when he declares that he wants to go to war against Americans everywhere, all the time. What do lefties take from that? Oh, I need to go to war. That, that's a call to arms. I'm going to war. Hakeem Jeffries told me to go to war. When the left routinely accuses President Trump, of course, of being things like Hitler and a Nazi and a fascist, and all of these things, by the way, which happen to be more left wing tendencies as you see here. These are like complete authoritarians. When they accuse President Trump of that all the time. You've got massive numbers of people on the left who feel that they have a moral obligation to take out President Trump, or at the very least, to justify an assassination attempt on him or anybody around him. We just heard from Cole Allen, the guy who filled out his manifesto as he attacked the White House correspondence dinner. He straight up said he wanted to take out the entire cabinet, the highest level officials he could, to include the President of the United States, which is why he's now standing trial for attempting to assassinate him. Inside of Cole Allen's manifesto was a litany of conspiracy theories about President Trump that he had heard from the left. Ted Liu, his own congressman, Ted Rue. Excuse me, his own congressman had declared that President Trump was a pedophile who was killing children. These are the kinds of conspiracy theories that were contained inside of Cole Allen's manifesto. Yeah. No, it's the left's leaders who are doing this. They're the ones who are fomenting this chaos. Now, of course, they always act like in the wake of an attack like this, they'll say something like, well, I condemn all violence, but they were the predicate to the violence in the first place. They were the ones who cultivated this. That's just true. So how do we resolve this? How do we fix this? Well, certainly anybody who violates the law at the highest possible levels, I don't care if you're Hakeem Dreff, Race, Chuck Schumer. If you break the law, then you should absolutely be prosecuted and thrown in trial and then subsequently thrown in jail, convicted. So if there are any violations of the law, absolutely hold people accountable for those. Because if there are no consequences for criminality, you get more criminality. That's that's step one. Obviously. Step two is you have to improve the quality of our elections. You know, I, I was on, on Dan Bongino's excellent program. I think it was last week we were talking about this, and one of the realities of fixing the country, one of the most important elements of fixing the country is fixing our elections. There's a reason that we've been asking so fervently for the Save America Act. And the fundamental reason is that a. Republicans, I mean, Republicans, excuse me, Americans, deserve to have faith in their elections. And the way you have faith is if the rules are crystal clear and that if violations of the rules occur, that there's accountability for that. So only American citizens should vote. You have to show Voto ID when you do it. Nobody can take my vote. Nobody can water it down. Noncitizens can't be on the polls, and elections officials can be prosecuted if they screw up. That. That's it. Those, those are great things. That's all contained in the Save America Act. We should pass it as quickly as possible. But one of the second order effects of having a clean election system, one where power is only derived from the actual will of the people, is that you have to have two functional political parties who actually appeal to the people. That's it. No more rigging. No more drawing districts in such a way that you divide people based on race in order to achieve political power. No more importing millions of illegal aliens to give yourselves extra seats with each passing census by not filtering between American citizens and illegal aliens. No more shenanigans in our elections. If you want power in the United States, you have to make your case to me and my family that you deserve my vote. That's the way you have to play the game. And if you play the game that way, what are the chances that the left's dominant ideologies continue to fester? This idea that, oh, police suck, that we shouldn't have law enforcement, that criminals should be released back out onto the street right away, especially if they're illegal aliens, that our borders shouldn't function, that we should import millions of people, that we're perfectly content with over 100,000Americans a year dying due to fentanyl, that we should pump billions, trillions of dollars directly into the economy and stimulate inflation, thus making everybody more impoverished. That we should raise taxes on everyone. Oh, not everyone. Just the rich. Just the rich. Thus raising the cost of everybody's lives in the process. These left that. That men can become women, that men should cheat in women's sports, that a child can be born in the wrong body, that we should kill off a million babies a year, that 40% of the black community should continue to be aborted every year. Year. If voters were actually given a real choice, why would they choose those guys? They wouldn't. So the Democrats would be left with two options. One, disappear entirely as a political party, or two, dramatically change their positions in order to actually get elected by Americans who really do care about their country. Those are your options. And so, as a result, if Democrats were forced to play by real election rules, well, then they'd have to deal with reality. And when leadership in that party begins to deal with reality, the base of the party would begin to deal with reality. You wouldn't have these deranged conspiracy theories everywhere. You'd have some, but you wouldn't have them at scale. You wouldn't have them to the point that half of the entire Democrat Party's base believe President Trump is faking his own head wounds from assassination attempts. You wouldn't have that. You would have voters who disagree on policy positions like we've had in the past, which we should get back to. When we say make America great again, it means make it great for all of us. It's not just for Republicans, it's not just for Democrats. It's so that Americans can live together and thrive. And if we're going to get there, we have to be dealing with the same set of facts. And right now, only one party is dealing with facts, and that's President Trump's side of the aisle. It's amazing. It's amazing. And I'd like to navigate out of all of this and, and let me offer one other element here. It's the biggest element of all. And it's a return to God. It's a return to faith. It's a return to recognizing that we are each created in the image and likeness of God. We have a soul. We should recognize that in the people that are around us. Returning to that is the single most important thing. But it's a big leap for a lot of people. And insofar as we can handle any of this in our limited human capacity, we can at least instill trust. When you build a trustworthy environment, then love can follow. And when love follows, recognition of God follows, too. These are. These are all steps to getting there. And I really believe we can do it. And this is why we continue. I know this audience continues to. We all continue to hold out so much hope for our country. And we all continue to stay in the fight, fight, fight. But you have to reckon with what we're dealing with. This is if we had a real news media, a real news media, not, not the garbage that's constantly being served to us, they would be talking about this. The crisis levels at which the left is in this massive state of delusion, a very dangerous, dangerous state of delusion. But instead, oftentimes these very same media outlets, rather than report on that, have been aiding and abetting the chaos. And we've got, we've got a ways to go to break it. This is why, Jonathan, I've been so insistent with you. I'm not, I'm not doing this because I have any sort of contempt for you as a person. My concern is that you're too weak for this job. My concern is that you don't recognize how dire things are. You don't recognize what time it is. You often will come out and tell us that you just don't have the votes. And we are in no way convinced that you've even attempted to get them. The Save America act is really that important. Fix America's elections, fix the rules, create an environment that Americans can trust. And so many other good things flow from that, including fixing this mess. I really believe it. All right, more ahead on this edition. Events. I. Sorry. I'm just, I'm so serious about this. I. I really do care about the country. I really, really want to navigate out of this. And I think if you have other ideas, let me know. But I really think that this is the strategy. I think we can do it. I really do. All right, let me thank one of our great sponsors today. I've got pocket hose. Pocket hose. We love pocket hose in the Colonnade's household. Let me tell you about the world's number one expanding garden hose and their incredible new product, the pocket hose ballistic. We used to have to replace the garden hose every year because we kink, tangle, burst, and then throwing it out is a big, sloppy mess as you shove it into the trash can. Well, look, the pocket hose ballistic is the upgrade we've been looking for for so long. It's the toughest pocket hose ever built. It's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests, which is great because if you don't baby your hose, which I don't, drag it across the driveway, yank it around the house, leave it out in the sun sometimes, although it's very easy to put away, you should definitely do that. The Pocket O Ballistic handles it all. Plus, it comes with the pocket pivot for total freedom of movement right there at the spigot. Full 360 degree rotation. I move it follows the water flows. And now, for a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. So just text Vince to 64,000. That's Vince to 64,000. For your two free gifts with purchase, text Vince to 64,000. Message and data rates may apply. All right, so look, you talk about the leaders in this party on the left who have created all of this chaos, and they do it. You know, some of these guys, they think they're very clever, they think they're very slippery. That, that, that their kind of like serpent like behavior is never going to achieve accountability, that no one is ever going to catch them. And really, right there near the top of the list of the people who've done this is James Comey. James Comey, the former FBI director, the former FBI director who has made it a point to do things his own way in contravention of the law, to do things for his own glory and power, always to undermine, to subvert the President of the United States, to leak all sorts of nonsense to the press in the interest of compelling outcomes against his political enemies, namely President Trump, and then subsequently lying about it before Congress and then threatening the President of the United States in the most ridiculous teenage girl possible way. Making shell art on a beach. 86, 40, 47. Taking a picture and then distributing it on the Internet. James Comey is an overgrown fool. And it is long past time for the law to really catch up with this guy. Now, he's been prosecuted twice. Right now he's going through the 8647 thing and that that trial is set to begin. In fact, it's going to begin on July 15th. We got a report here from ABC on this just last week tentative trial they'd set in James Comey's seashell case. Former FBI Director James Comey is tentatively set to stand trial July 15th. That's coming very, very soon. Just over two months now on charges that he allegedly threatened to kill President Trump by posting a photo of seashells spelling out 8647 on a beach in a written order that was issued now two Fridays ago. U.S. district Judge Louise Flanagan scheduled the trial to begin on July 15th. Excuse me. It was last Friday. This occurred after his court appearance in North Carolina that was originally set for Monday was canceled. Comey will be arraigned on June 30. Comey is still trying to get the trial dropped. They want. They want the case dismissed. But as of right now, two months from now, we're looking at James Comey standing trial for his threats to the President. Now, remember, I want to remind you that it's not just the Instagram post that the government has. They have more evidence than that. They have more evidence than that. Here is Todd Blanche cut to revealing recently that the evidence goes beyond just a simple Instagram photo. Look at this.
Interviewer
Part of what the government would have to prove is intent. James Comey deleted the post the same day, and he wrote, quote, I didn't realize some folks in the associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind. So I took the post down. How do you prove intent, Mr. Blanch, when Mr. Comey himself said he didn't understand that some people would look at that and think about violence.
Legal Expert
You prove intent like, like you always prove intent. You prove intent with witnesses. You prove intent with documents, with materials. So, again, this is not just about a single Instagram post. This is about a body of evidence that the grand jury collected over the series of about 11 months. That evidence was presented to the grand jury, and it's not the government, it's not the Department of Justice, it's not Todd Blanche that returned an indictment against James Comey. It's a grand jury, part of the judicial process, and that this process has to be allowed to play out in the courts. It's not fair to Mr. Comey. It's certainly not fair to the prosecutors. For us to be erring. Your view or my view of this indictment, it's something that will present it in court at the. At the. At the time set by the judge.
Interviewer
Let's delve a little deeper. Conservative legal scholar Jonathan Turley said, quote, this indictment is facially unconstitutional absent some unknown new facts. Are there. Are you in fact saying that there are facts beyond this Instagram post that clearly establishes an intent to threaten the President's life?
Legal Expert
I've said repeatedly this was an investigation that lasted 11 months. If the only facts that existed was the posting of the Instagram, obviously that wouldn't have taken 11 months. And so when Mr. Turley talks about whether it's facially unconstitutional absent unknown facts or circumstances, we will necessarily have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial every element of this crime, which we're prepared to do.
Interviewer
Can you.
Vince
We are prepared to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond A reasonable doubt at trial. We have the evidence, and it's not just the Instagram post. We gathered it over 11 months. It's pretty strong. Now, the Justice Department, of course, will have to back that up at trial against James Comey, but call me. Seems pretty desperate to me. Call me. Just decided to go and do a live television interview yesterday with one of his favorite propagandists, a woman by the name of Nicole Wallace. Now, before I even show you the Nicole Wallace clip, I want to remind you of a connection to Nicole Wallace that James Comey has. And this comes to us by way of Julie Kelly, the excellent Julie Kelly. She said, oh, look, getting the gang back together again. Now, Comey used his buddy Dan Richmond as a cutout to leak investigative and classified information to Nicole Wallace's husband, Michael Schmidt in 2017. That's right, Michael Schmidt, a New York Times reporter. Nicole Wallace is now married to Michael Schmidt. Michael Schmidt was the guy who was taking all of the James Comey leaks in order to get a special counsel appointed against President Trump. You see this there, guys? These guys are as thick as thieves. The goal was to make himself look good, says Julie Kelly, and prompt the appointment of a special counsel to investigate imaginary Trump Russia election collusion. So, of course, she's featuring Comey's latest spin and sob story. Okay, so that's the, that's the predicator. That's, that's, that's the setup. I want to, I want you to know that what the relationship is between these two people as he goes on. Miss. Now to make his case that I'm so innocent. Trump's just mean, and he's attacking me because he doesn't like me. I don't know why he doesn't like me. Got it. All right, well, let's take you through this. So you just heard from Todd Blanche. He's like, actually, we have more evidence against. Call me. Nicole Wallace asked James Comey, well, is there other evidence? Do you know about it? Cut one watch.
Interviewer
Are you aware of what the other evidence is they have, other than that message, which is on Amazon right now? For sale.
James Comey
Yeah, I hate to stiff arm you, but I'm going to do the same thing. It's very important that we respect and obey the rules of the federal court in North Carolina and everywhere, even if others don't. And so I'm not going to talk about that, except to say, as I said earlier, I am not only not guilty, I am innocent, and we will pursue this fully.
Vince
Is he under a gag order? What does he mean the rules of the federal court. You know, as a criminal defendant, he's entitled to know the evidence. The government's obligated to share it, the evidence against him so that he can mount the defense. Why is he keeping that from us? Is he under like a Donald Trump style gag order? You know, President Trump was forbidden from saying that he was innocent in public. He wasn't allowed to, you know, in the midst of a presidential campaign, you know, because the left was rigging the whole process. What is Comey saying? Oh, I got to respect the rules of the federal court. This is unlike others trying to take a shot at Todd Blanche. Blanche can say whatever he wants. Blanche can tell us that he's got evidence. He didn't tell us what the evidence was. He was just making an obvious point. You don't bring a case unless you have evidence, you know. Well, unless you're the left, of course. Then you go after Trump without any evidence whatsoever. Isn't that fascinating? So call me. Well, I can't. I can't break the rules. Break the rules. If you're innocent, say it. Go ahead. Well, that's going to imperil your case. Say your lawyers have advised you not to talk about this. Or as a lawyer, I know better than to talk about this. But instead he pinned it on the federal court. It's the court who's stopping me from saying this. Yeah, sure, James, the guy. The guy who lies about everything. Lies about everything. Every single thing. And he's playing the victim. Of course he says that. The reason. He's got to speak up. I got to speak up. I got to speak up. I'm doing it for my grandkids. I just want my grandkids to know what a hero I am. Take a look. Cut 3.
James Comey
Continue to speak up because I have grandchildren and someday they will be old enough to understand this time. And I want them to know what Pop did during this period of time. I hope everybody feels that way.
Interviewer
You said this won't be the last. Do you think they're going to indict you again?
James Comey
Oh, I don't. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, I think Donald Trump wakes up at three in the morning thinking about me. I do not. The vice reverse does not happen. But I'm sure that if this case falls apart, they'll come with something else. I'm going to have to deal with this. As I've told my family, they're going to have to deal with this as long as Donald Trump is in the White House thinking about me in the Middle of the night.
Vince
Trump's obsessed with me. Trump's obsessed with me. He really is a teenage girl. Holy crap. I don't know why he's so obsessed with me. Well, first of all, let me, let me start with the basic point. You know, President Trump does post about James Comey on Truth Social. I think he calls him crooked, a bad cop, you know, all sorts of accurate depictions of who James Comey is. But why would Donald Trump. Why would Trump not like James Comey? Now, of course, Comey's obviously saying this because he's saying that, that Trump ordered a hit on me. It's totally unjust. This is tyranny, that, blah, blah, blah. No, the Justice Department is rightly investigating you for your litany of credible allegations that you've broken the law. So that, that's one. But okay, to go back to the point. Why would Trump not like Comey? Well, here's a reason. Comey ordered the leak of his own memos to spur the special counsel probe. James Comey wrote down privileged information about his conversations with the President of the United States. He depicted a conversation. I don't even know if it's accurate. He depicted a conversation with the President. Then he leaked it to Michael Schmidt at the New York Times, who is currently Nicole Wallace's husband over on Miz Now. And Nicole Wallace is giving him a glow up interview on Miz Now. I don't know why he's so obsessed with me. I don't know. What did I ever do? Donald Trump wouldn't like me. You're a jackass. Call me. You're a complete jackass. He's a liar. He's a. He's a snake. He's a snake. So there he is again. Now, this thing about him being prosecuted again, there, there is evidence available in public to suggest that there could be two more big criminal prosecutions of James Comey. Two more in addition to what we already saw, his lies to Congress about leaks to the media. That was the first indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia. The second indictment is for the 8647 threat and the additional evidence, of course, the Justice Department says it has against him. And then you've got the, you've got, you've got the Comey case of these documents leaking to Daniel Richmond. So here's the reporting on that subject. Bloomberg just came out with a piece saying the following, that the Trump DOJ is allegedly pursuing a separate Comey probe for classified leaks. The Justice Department is pursuing additional charges against Comey for leaking classified information. Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia have in recent weeks revived a case, a pursuit of Comey. The investigation is tied to his dissemination of documents to Columbia University law professor Daniel Richmond. If successful, it would be the third indictment by the Trump DOJ of James Comey since last fall. That's great. All right. And which, by the way, he deserves. The other piece, the other big indictment that we're expecting, that we're waiting for. I know bad old Kitty always wants to hear in chat, and so do I. The grand conspiracy case in South Florida. And that's where John Brennan comes into the math. The former CIA director. We're going to get to him in just a moment because guess who else appeared on Nicole Wallace's show yesterday. Go ahead, go ahead. Take a wild guess. John Brennan. I've got the details on it coming up. Just a moment. On this edition of. Vince. Hey, I hope you all had a very nice Mother's Day.

Okay, so John Brennan goes on Nicole Wallace's program too because you know, she's a dedicated propagandist for all these criminals. So they keep showing up on her show on the same day. So here's they were hanging out in the green room together. Comey and Brennan frickin frack they were back together. So here's John Brennan claiming yesterday that Donald Trump's on a revenge campaign and attacking the Attorney General. Todd Blanche. Is this a good idea for a criminal defendant? Cut five watch.
Todd Blanche
It comes down to what we need to do in order to protect and defend ourselves in terms of legal defense, other types of things. But this is all part of the Trump campaign to carry out revenge against his adversaries. And you know, Todd Land saying that this is not, you know, his going after his political enemies. I mean, how can he actually look himself in the mirror mirror and believe what he is saying? As you pointed out, it looks like he is auditioning to be nominated to be Attorney General.
Vince
So of course what you're witnessing is just an absurd attempt at framing everything that appears to be coming. You know, we've. We keep seeing this over and over. Obama's doing this, Comey's doing this. Brennan's doing this. The public freakouts that you're witnessing right now where all of the same people who were involved in subverting our entire justice system now accuse President Trump of doing that very thing. They're meant to prepare you for. The grand conspiracy case, the one that battled Kitty and I are obsessed with. The grand conspiracy case is coming and these guys know it. How do they know it? They're on the receiving end of endless subpoenas right now. We already know by earlier this year that hundreds of these subpoenas have gone out the door from that grand jury in South Florida. Brennan is under the gun. He's under active criminal investigation right now. And so he's getting on television to try and convince those 40% of Democrats who believe that President Trump faked his own assassination attempts. He's trying to convince that delusional, deranged group of yet another lie that Donald Trump is the one who's subverting the Justice Department. He's attacking me because he's mean. He just doesn't like how great I am. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is undertaking a very credible investigation of John Brennan for his long history of sinister behaviors now finally catching up with him. It's good, and it can't happen fast enough, candidly, but that's what Brennan's doing. And so what else is he doing? Yesterday, in that same interview, Brennan appeared to either reveal something brand new. Well, not brand new. I'll play it and you'll know why. It's not completely brand new. Or he's working the refs. He's making a public appeal to career officials in the United States Department, Department of Justice, to stage an insurrection. He's encouraging Justin Justice Department officials to subvert the duly elected President of the United States and his appointed Attorney General. This is a guy under active criminal investigation calling for subversion in the investigation and likely subsequent prosecution. Here's Brennan yesterday, either telling us that he has people on the inside or encouraging them to disobey the duly elected President of the United States and to thwart the will of the American people.
Interviewer
Listen, he has succeeded largely in turning DOJ and the FBI into political arms of his political operation, what still exists in the system to slow that down.
Todd Blanche
I think, as Liz mentioned, there's still a legion of professionals in the law enforcement environment, Department of Justice, as well as the CIA and other Places. The ones who are refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions, those who are refusing to support any type of political activities on the part of the Trump administration that are inconsistent with, with the authorities, the responsibilities of the intelligence community, law enforcement community, and Department of Justice.
Interviewer
He has succeeded.
Vince
You got that? So Brennan says there is a legion. Legion, interesting choice of words. Of professionals in the law enforcement environment, the Department of Justice, as well as the CIA and other places. They are, in his words, quote, refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions. Now, what Brennan is doing is either revealing that he has moles inside of these agencies who are actively subverting the will of the American people, or he's issuing a public call to arms to those very same people. What's the other read on this? What could you possibly interpret from that other than those two options? And it's probably a combination of both. He's got people on the inside. It is a deep state. It continues to be. We've heard plenty of stories of the efforts that Trump administration officials have had to take to clean out the deep state. And it's tough. It is a tough battle. So he probably has people on the inside, and he's probably once again issuing a public call to arms here. And what would those career officials think if they hear that from the former CIA director, from a party that has promised that they will hurt people who get in their way? We've already seen people like Susan Rice and all sorts of ridiculous Democrats coming out and promising Hakeem Jeffries, promising that when they get power again, they are going to use it against their political opponents. Their intention is to use the United States Department of Justice to hurt their political opponents. So when John Brennan is encouraging people to subvert the President of the United States, he might be trying to get them to do some calculus. Let's see if Trump's not around forever, if Democrats come back, and then they're going to start hurting political opponents. Do I want to be on the side of power, or do I want to be on the receiving end of tyranny? Hmm? What am I going to do here? And if people make the immoral choice, they join John Brennan on this quest to subvert the will of the American people. We've seen it happen before, we could see it happen again. This is deranged. This is completely deranged. But there he is, John Brennan. They just keep going. Now, having said that, I just saw in my chat somebody carnage25 asked Vince, what do you mean the grand conspiracy case with four question marks? Vince, Double question marks. So Carnage, you don't, you don't know about this case. That's okay. Not everybody follows every detail so closely. Down in South Florida, we have a U.S. attorney, Quinones, who is in the midst of a grand conspiracy investigation right now. And we know earlier this year there was an Axios report to this effect. I'll pull it up for you. That shows that there have been over 100 and let's see many hundreds of subpoenas that have gone out seeking information in this case. But here's just, here's an example. This is March of 2026 of this year. James Comey was subpoenaed in the grand conspiracy against Trump. James Comey was subpoenaed earlier this year in the wide ranging grand conspiracy case against the ex officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump. Two sources with knowledge of the situation, Teleccios. The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden. So that's the answer to your question, Carnage. But it's good. I don't mind doing a refresh on that for anybody who hasn't been tracking the details. But that's, that's, that's the latest on that. So, yeah, so we're keeping our eyes on that. And Comey's kind of convinced I'm going to be prosecuted again. I'm certain that's going to happen. Yeah, I hope so. I hope you're right about that. If you're right, if you, if I've ever hoped that Comey is right about anything, I'm, I hope Comey's right about that. That would be, that would be very, very good. While we're on the issue of the FBI, I've got one other story for you. This seems like it's turning into the left fake scandal of the week, which I think might mean I need to share this with you today. Let's see. Oh, here we go. And now it's time for the left fake scandal of the week. Extra, extra. Oh, yeah, baby. The left fake scandal of the week this week it involves whether or not the FBI is abusing its power and harassing journalists. That's the big claim going on by the lefty media right now. And this is the piece. It came out last week from two guys who, who absolutely hate Cash Patel over at the FBI. And this is the piece it says the FBI is probing leaks to journalists who wrote explosive article on Kash Patel. Sources say that's the Claim from Miz now. It's authored by Fusion Candelanian and Crazy Karolenig. And so the two of them are claiming that that mean old Cash Patel is investigating a journalist who reported that he's a drunk. Remember, this was an Atlantic piece that came out that was alleging that Cash Patel is just drinking on the job all the time. He's not even doing his job. Which one is it? Lefties. By the way, is Cash Patel prosecuting too many of you or he's too drunk to do his job? Can you guys get this one straight? The FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation, they claimed focusing on an Atlantic magazine journalist who wrote a deeply unflattering account last month of Cash Patel's work habits. Two people familiar with the matter told Miz Now. The sources said the so called insider threat investigation is highly unusual because it did not stem from a disclosure of classified information and because it's focused on leaks to a reporter. Okay, and then they go on. The journalist, Sarah Fitzpatrick cited two dozen anonymous sources in a detailed story reporting that Patel's alcohol consumption and erratic behavior had caused deep concern among FBI officials. Ladies and gentlemen, if she has anybody in the FBI who's making claims like this. Understand something. These are the deep staters we're talking about. These are the deep staters that John Brennan is appealing to. These are the people who would actively work to subvert the United States and the will of the people that are talking to the Atlantic lady to tell a bullshit story about Kash Patel's been drinking too much. Okay, so the story in IN M now is. Oh no, the FBI is investigating. These people is investigating. And it's ruining the life of this woman, Sarah Fitzpatrick. Really? Is that what's going on? They're going to take time out of their busy schedules to go after a dumb Atlantic reporter. So we just found out. No, that's not what this is at all. Rachel Bade is a reporter. She used to work for Politico, actually, but she's got her own substack. She just put this piece up. Scoop. The FBI is investigating threats against the reporter who wrote the Cash Patel piece. Are you tracking this? So rather than the FBI tormenting this girl, they're investigating threats to her. Last month, the Atlantic, Sarah Fitzpatrick wrote a scathing takedown of FBI Director Cash Patel that. I had Washington in a tizzy, writes Rachel. Three days after the story published, Fitzpatrick went to the FBI seeking help after a series of threats against her. The FBI has opened a threat assessment case into menacing messages sent to Fitzpatrick called a guardian intake in FBI speak, I'm told by an FBI official who requested anonymity to share details. It did so because the reporter herself contacted the Bureau twice. On April 20, Fitzpatrick described horrifying messages in a call to the FBI. Somebody said, quote, your days are numbered, one of the messages read. Another said, it'll be your obituary. According to this FBI official, Fitzpatrick first went to the D.C. metropolitan Police Department, who referred her to the FBI. A few hours before her outreach to the FBI, Patel's lawyers had filed a lawsuit against the Atlantic. They filed a lawsuit against the Atlantic for defaming him over Fitzpatrick. Peace. The FBI has been communication with the Metropolitan Police Department to make sure her house doesn't get swatted so holy. So, in other words, rather than tormenting the woman who's lying about Cash Patel, they're still defending her. In other words, the FBI is standing up for the rule of law, even against the people who hate the leadership of the FBI. Oh, my God. It's. Well, it's typical. It's not shocking, but it is appalling. It's totally typical. And what a fascinating turn of events. Not. Not in any way surprising that that's actually the story. So, so good for Cash and the team. And please keep up the good work, guys. Please keep taking down the bad guys and ignore this nonsense. Just ignore these idiots. I mean, it's truly stupid what they've got going on. Another thing for you. I've got crazy Katie Porter this week.
Legal Expert
She.
Vince
She just did a CNN interview. Remember I told you that I think that one of the most powerful forces in the Democrat Party, Tom Steyer, in that governor's race in California, might be behind the unleashing of the blackmail files against these lefties. Like, I'm curious, who took down Swalwell? Like, we don't have the full picture, do we, on who took down Eric Swalwell? Somebody in the. On the. I'm not saying that Swalwell didn't commit all sorts of sins that are now catching up with him. I'm saying that someone on the left uncorked the blackmail file. They opened it up and spread it out in public in order to get Swalwell thrown out of the race. And I'm beginning to wonder to what extent one of the most powerful forces in the Democrat Party was both behind that and in the early oppo dump, the opposition resource dump against Katie Porter. In fact, Katie Porter herself believes that it was Tom Steyer who did this to her, meaning released video footage of her treating her staff like utter garbage. Now, again, I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm just saying isn't it interesting that all this dirty laundry keeps popping up in this race where you have one of the single biggest donors to the Democrat Party running against all of them? Here's Katie Porter making the allegation yesterday on cnn. Cut six Watch.
Katie Porter
Well, given that Tom Steyer is the person who leaked the video with me and the staffer from five years ago, he pretty clearly didn't think that I, he particularly wanted to be governor bad enough to knock me down to do it. And I apologize for that video many times because I am confident that is the case. I've been told by many people it's a Department of Energy video. It was only held by the Department of Energy. And people can follow the trail to who his campaign staffers are and understand what happened there.
Vince
Wow. Fascinating. So if Katie Porter knows anything, it's about tracking what's going on in her own political career in detail. She is a dumpster fire in every sense politically, but following what it takes for her to get to power and who might be standing in the way, I bet you she's in the details. So she says Tom Steyer is guilty here. Now, again, given Steyer's control over the Democrat Party, he's one of the single biggest donors they have. There is a lot of hesitancy to allow that kind of declaration to be made on one of the Democrat Party's favorite networks, cnn. So CNN instantly rushed at the end of that interview to say they don't know if Tom Steyer did this. They don't have any reporting to support that. And they need you to know that because their lawyers need you to know that. Cut seven Watch.
Interviewer
Congresswoman, thank you for coming on. I should note that there we don't have evidence that Stier leaked that video of you. If you have it, please bring it. And also you said some pretty tough stuff about Javier Becerra. If he wants to come back on the show, he is more than welcome to do that as well. Thank you for being here today. I appreciate it.
Katie Porter
Thank you.
Vince
I don't think we're done with the mess that that race is. I don't think so. I think that dumpster fire is only going to get bigger. And if it takes down all these Democrats, that'll be the perfect ending to this craziness going on. We'll keep our eyes on California. Fascinating. Governor's race. Amazing mayoral race too, by the way. Spencer brat is cr crushing it. Never thought I'd say those words in that sequence in my entire life. Spencer Pratt is crushing it. He's absolutely crushing it.

Host: Vince Coglianese
Date: May 12, 2026
Podcast Network: Cumulus Podcast Network
Theme: An in-depth analysis of what Vince describes as widespread delusion and conspiracy thinking among Democratic voters, escalating rhetoric by Democratic leaders, and new legal developments regarding former intelligence agency leaders James Comey and John Brennan.
Vince sets out to explore what he calls a “crisis of mass delusion” overtaking the Democratic Party’s base, centered on conspiracy theories about Donald Trump—especially beliefs surrounding multiple recent assassination attempts. He connects these beliefs to what he calls a culture of “assassination tolerance” on the left, blames Democratic leadership and media figures for fueling the climate, and analyzes the legal troubles now facing former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan. Vince closes by calling for election reform, legal accountability, and a cultural return to faith as remedies.
Vince references new YouGov polling showing that:
Smaller but notable percentages of independents and Republicans gave similar answers.
Quote:
Vince argues these beliefs are a sign of “psychosis at scale,” framing the left as disconnected from reality. He points out the contradiction that some on the left both assert Trump faked attacks and openly espouse wanting him dead:
Vince cites an April 2025 Rutgers NCRI study:
Emphasizes that these attitudes are not fringe but “emergent assassination culture grounded in far-left authoritarianism.”
Quote:
Connects escalation of rhetoric by Democratic leaders (Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Ted Lieu) to real-world violence and assassination attempts:
Argues the left works by “projecting” their own methods or intentions onto their opponents.
Proposes two main remedies:
Third, broader cultural remedy:
Provides details on the ongoing legal saga facing ex-FBI Director James Comey:
Plays segments from a recent legal interview:
Comes back to Comey’s recent interview with Nicole Wallace:
Further legal trouble for Comey is anticipated (“grand conspiracy” case in Florida and others).
Vince, on the poll data:
“42% of Democrats believe that the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt on President Trump was staged… That’s insanity.” [03:45]
On ‘assassination culture’:
“These attitudes are not fringe. They reflect an emergent assassination culture grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse.” — Quoting NCRI [13:48]
On elections:
“Only American citizens should vote. You have to show voter ID when you do it. Nobody can take my vote. Noncitizens can’t be on the polls… Elections officials can be prosecuted if they screw up.” [21:12]
On faith:
“A return to God… that is the single most important thing. But it’s a big leap for a lot of people.” [23:46]
On Comey:
“James Comey is an overgrown fool. And it is long past time for the law to really catch up with this guy.” [26:29]
“I am not only not guilty, I am innocent, and we will pursue this fully.” — James Comey [31:44]
“Trump’s obsessed with me. He really is a teenage girl.” — Vince [34:01]
On Brennan:
“…there’s still a legion of professionals in the law enforcement environment, Department of Justice, as well as the CIA and other places, the ones who are refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions…” — John Brennan [44:41]
On the current state of the Democratic party:
“That dumpster fire is only going to get bigger. And if it takes down all these Democrats, that’ll be the perfect ending to this craziness going on.” [58:09]
Vince’s episode weaves together polling data, accusations of left-wing conspiracy theory culture, and current legal developments facing ex-intelligence officials to argue that the Democratic party is “trapped by its own conspiracies,” fueling a dangerous national division. He proposes strong election laws, legal accountability for political figures, and a cultural return to religious faith as solutions — maintaining his characteristic confrontational, direct tone throughout. The episode showcases a mix of sharp analysis, combative rhetoric, and ongoing breaking news, for which Vince’s show is known.
