David DePape, who is facing federal and state charges for allegedly breaking into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her 82-year-old husband with a hammer, called KTVU from the San Francisco County Jail that's holding him on Friday.

DePape said he wanted to make a statement, and the 5 1/2-minute call was a doozy. The accused should probably keep his mouth shut since he's facing state charges of attempted murder and elder abuse, as well as charges in federal court for kidnapping.

Via KTVU:

He said he attacked Pelosi because people's individual liberties are under attack.

In almost a call to arms, DePape says the "people killing it have names and addresses, so I got their names and addresses so I could pay them a little visit…have a heart-to-heart chat about their bad behavior."

In the chilling and bizarre phone call, he apologized for not going further.

"I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I'm so sorry I didn't get more of them. It's my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared," he says.

The footage was released on Friday of the disturbing hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, as well as audio of the 911 call after DePape smashed through the Pelosis' back door to harm Nancy Pelosi, who was out of town at the time.

He's a deranged Trump supporter, but I repeat myself. He feels the election was stolen from Donald. The one-term President has caused so much damage to this country -- and not just monetarily. He gave his supporters permission to be the worst in society, and they embraced that.
