In a strange phone call to a San Francisco reporter on Friday, the man who assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband in their house last year expressed no remorse and continued his unhealthy preoccupation with the former House speaker, according to the Bay Area station's reporting.

On the day the attack footage was made public, David DePape made a phone call to KTVU's Amber Lee from the San Francisco County Jail with what he described as "an important message for everyone in America."

The call came the same day that a California court released video of the attack, audio of the 911 call, and his initial police interview following his arrest, in which he echoed right-wing extremist views, including MAGA tropes, emphasizing how he was influenced by dangerous rhetoric and conspiracies.

According to KTVU, their reporter was not permitted to ask DePape follow-up questions during the phone discussion, which he permitted to be recorded.

Without naming Pelosi, DePape stated that he had gathered "names and addresses" of persons he believed were "systematically and deliberately" destroying American freedom and liberty and that he intended to "have a heart-to-heart chat about their bad behavior."

DePape went on to say that he should have been "better prepared," and that he's sorry he "didn't get more of them."

DePape also told a San Francisco police officer in October that he went to Pelosi's San Francisco house because he thought the then-Speaker was "the leader of the pack" of all Washington, DC politicians, "lying on a consistent basis."

Threats against members of Congress are "still too high," according to U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger, despite the fact that threat investigations declined for the first time in five years in 2022.

After rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, federal law enforcement organizations continued to issue warnings about the growing possibility of politically motivated violence, highlighting particular concerns about the likelihood that internet appeals for violence could result in actual attacks.

In his October interview, DePape alleged that Pelosi-led Democrats had spied on the former president in a manner that was worse than Watergate, which led to Richard Nixon's resignation after it was discovered that his administration had attempted to cover up a break-in at the DNC offices.

DePape asserted that Democrats were engaged in a "endless f**king crime spree" against Trump without providing any supporting proof.

DePape is facing state and federal charges in connection with the incident. He has entered a not-guilty plea.

The footage and audio were unsealed by a court on Friday, despite DePape's attorneys' objections that it would "irreparably damage" his right to a fair trial.
