Release Date: June 25, 2025

Host: Vince Coglianese
Network: Cumulus Podcast Network | VINCE
Description: Vince Coglianese delivers sharp political insights and unfiltered perspectives on current events, featuring in-depth interviews and insider knowledge of Washington, DC.

1. NYC Mayoral Primary Upset

Timestamp: [00:00] – [04:54]

Vince opens the episode by addressing a significant political event: a "psycho socialist" named Zoran Mamdani has won the Democratic primary for the New York City mayoral race. Vince expresses strong disapproval of Mamdani, labeling him a "fraudulent left-wing socialist psychopath" and criticizing his recent citizenship and policy proposals. Key points include:

• Policy Criticisms:

  • Abolishing the NYPD and Prisons: "He wants to abolish the NYPD. He wants to abolish prisons. No more cops and no more prisons" ([04:00]).
  • Healthcare and Education: Advocates for abolishing medical bills, private health insurance, and implementing free childcare and tuition freezes.
  • Gun Control and Public Safety: Proposes banning all guns and legalizing sex work, which Vince argues would lead to increased chaos and drug use in the city.

• Election Dynamics:

  • Mamdani won the primary with 43% of the vote, largely supported by the wealthy and middle class, rather than the working class. Vince highlights a disparity in voting patterns:
    • High-Income Voters: Mamdani won by over 13 points among those earning six figures or more.
    • Low-Income Voters: Andrew Cuomo won the under $50,000 income bracket by 19 points, indicating that Mamdani is an elitist candidate disconnected from the concerns of the average New Yorker.

• Future Implications:

  • The general election is projected to be chaotic with multiple candidates, including Republican Curtis Sliwa, independent Jim Walden, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams running as an independent after being rejected by the Democratic Party. Vince speculates that this could open the door for a Republican mayoral candidate, such as Sliwa, to win in a crowded field.

Notable Quote:

"Zordan Mamdani is a lunatic. He is all of the left's most incoherent theories wrapped into one human being." – Vince ([04:54])

2. Iran's Nuclear Program and Media Narratives

Timestamp: [14:25] – [56:27]

Vince shifts focus to international affairs, specifically the status of Iran's nuclear program and the legacy media's portrayal of recent military actions taken by the Trump administration. Key topics include:

• CNN's Report on Iran:

  • Natasha Bertrand of CNN reported that the U.S. military had only set back Iran’s nuclear program by "months," suggesting minimal impact from the strikes ([14:25]).
  • Vince vehemently disagrees, asserting that the mission was a "perfectly executed" operation that "obliterated" key nuclear sites.

• Defense Against Media Claims:

  • Trump Administration's Stance:
    • President Trump's Press Conference: Emphasizes the success of the mission, stating, "It's been obliterated" ([52:26]).
    • Steve Wyckoff's Testimony: Clarifies that critical components of Iran's nuclear program were destroyed, making rapid resumption "not even conceivable" ([24:15]).
  • Vince’s Rebuttal:
    • Criticizes CNN and Natasha Bertrand for misleading the public and pushing a narrative to justify further military action.
    • Accuses reporters of being aligned with the "Deep State" and perpetuating disinformation to harm President Trump’s reputation.

• Impact of Military Action:

  • Vince details the logistical prowess of the operation, including the use of stealth bombers, nuclear submarines, and the precision of the strikes.
  • Emphasizes that Iran's ability to rebuild its nuclear capabilities has been severely compromised, countering claims of minimal impact.

Notable Quotes:

"The American military has been dwelling on this and training for a very long time. It wasn't until President Trump authorized the mission that they could finally do it." – Vince ([15:26])

"The Iranians didn't fire a shot. As these planes were entering or leaving the country." – Vince ([15:26])

"We're talking about something that took place three days ago. They didn't see it." – President Trump ([53:00])

3. Interview with Ron Vitiello: Border Security and Iranian Threats

Timestamp: [32:14] – [51:50]

Vince introduces his guest, Ron Vitiello, former ICE director and current advisor for Customs and Border Protection. Their discussion centers on border security, illegal immigration, and the threat posed by Iranian nationals in the United States.

• Border Security Improvements:

  • Since January 20, 2025, there has been a "95 to 99% drop in illegal crossings" at the southwest border ([32:30]).
  • Implementation of military-designated areas along the border has increased prosecution rates to about 95%, leading to quicker deportations.

• Current Threats:

  • Iranian Nationals:
    • Over 1,200 Iranian nationals have been identified and deported since the Biden administration.
    • Concerns about sleeper cells and malign activities by Iranian nationals within the U.S.
    • Ron emphasizes the need for vigilance and cooperation with local law enforcement to mitigate these threats ([37:47]).

• Criticism from Democrats:

  • Vince highlights the hostile rhetoric from Democratic leaders, such as Hakeem Jeffries, who have likened ICE agents to Nazis.
  • Ron condemns these remarks, stressing that they undermine law enforcement efforts and endanger agents. He notes a "500% increase in assaults" on ICE officers since January 2025 ([43:37]).

• Mass Deportations and Legislation:

  • Efforts are underway to scale up deportations with goals of reaching 3,000 deportations per day.
  • A forthcoming Senate bill aims to provide more resources, detention beds, and infrastructure to support these operations ([47:31]).

• Border Barriers:

  • The proposed bill includes multiple layers of border barriers, both on land and water, to further secure the border and reduce illegal crossings.
  • Ron asserts that these barriers "anchor what can be done more successfully" and deter criminal activities ([50:11]).

Notable Quotes:

"The nonsense of the Biden chaotic border is over, and now we're moving on." – Ron Vitiello ([35:12])

"These propagandists, including these politicians, should know better and how the law works." – Ron Vitiello ([45:19])

Vince concludes the episode by highlighting a recent press conference where President Trump, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, defends the administration's actions against Iran's nuclear program.

• Press Conference Highlights:

  • President Trump's Assertions:

    • Denies the effectiveness of CNN’s reports, emphasizing the total obliteration of Iran’s nuclear sites.
    • Criticizes the premature release of assessment reports by intelligence agencies, suggesting they were leaked by "losers" to harm his administration ([52:29]).

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Support:

    • Confirms the severity of the mission's impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
    • Urges for the prosecution of leakers who disseminate incomplete or misleading information ([56:27]).

• Vince and Ron’s Commentary:

  • Both reinforce the narrative that the Trump administration successfully neutralized Iran's nuclear threat.
  • Criticize the media for their biased reporting and attempt to incite further conflict.

Notable Quotes:

"The Iranians' nuclear program is obliterated and somebody somewhere is trying to leak something to say, oh, with low confidence, we think maybe it's moderate." – Ron Vitiello ([55:29])

"We need to have consequences imposed upon them [leakers]." – Ron Vitiello ([55:28])
