This is one of my favorite candidates of this cycle, and he has not gotten the attention he deserves. And honestly, the support from the Republican apparatus that is warranted. Here's how I first heard about Hongkow with his announcement video, which was amazing a while ago. And this is a true story. So I was at the Republican National Convention and I was having a meeting and all of a sudden I hear this pounding.
I was like, what is going on here? And it was Hung Cao giving his RNC speech saying, you hear that sound? That is the last sound that you hear before your home is raided in a communist country. I was like, oh, I like this guy. Joining us now is Hung Cao, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Virginia and is within the margin of error against Tim Kaine. Hung, welcome to the program.
Charlie, thank you so much. It's such an honor to be on your show. Tell us about your story. Your speech at the RNC was captivating. Your debate against Tim Kaine was wonderful. Introduce yourself to our audience. Well, you know, in 1975, when Saigon was falling to the communists, my mom was sewing notes into our clothes saying, this is my son. Please take care of him.
because there was a reality where they'd have to throw us into a helicopter just to save our lives because my father was a high-ranking South Vietnamese government official. So he was marked for death or going to be sent to re-education camp. And then so the next morning we got to the airport, and my mom was like, oh, my gosh, what if the Americans only took two of our five kids?
It's three of our five kids. Who do we leave behind? Who can take care of themselves? And how do we even come back to get them one day? But by the miracle of God, we all made it to United States. Uh, I went to a refugee camp in Guam and then another refugee camp in Camp Pendleton, California. Then we settled in Northern Virginia. And my dad, again, being in agriculture, uh,
could not find any work over here. So they said, why don't you guys move to Africa and help develop Africa under USAID? So we picked up after six months and moved to Sub-Saharan West Africa, which is Niger.
And we spent seven years over there. That's where I learned meritocracy, by the way, because in French schools, what they do is they hand you your report cards in, you know, by order of merit. So the top kid gets it and they sit at the front end of your seats, front right and then all the way down. So I noticed early on that the pretty French girls were at the front and the smelly French boys were in the back. And so I studied really hard to get to the front.
But then at the age of 12, my parents realized that this kid doesn't speak any English. So my mom had to bring us all back here. My dad stayed in harsh countries like Chad, Guinea, Cameroon, Zaire, just to make a living. And we would see him every four to six months. But they want us to have the American dream.
So I went to the top schools in the country, including the United States Naval Academy. And I have a master's in physics and postgraduate school and then fellowships at Harvard and MIT. But I paid back every dime of that American dream with 25 years of service in Navy special operations. I was a Navy deep sea diver that recovered John F. Kennedy Jr.'s plane.
I was a UD technician that diffused bombs for our SEAL teams and special forces teams in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. And so that's me in a nutshell. That's amazing. And you're running a wonderful race here. I want to introduce the audience through just some of the pieces of tape here from your debate with Tim Kaine. Let's go to cut 219. And we need more candidates like you. You've lived the American dream. You've served the country admirably. And you understand communism because your family lived it. Play cut 219. Okay.
Mr. Cao, you've supported removing undocumented immigrants who have committed violent crime. Do you support mass deportation of all undocumented immigrants? You have 60 seconds. Immigration is very near and dear to my heart. When Vietnam fell, we had nowhere to go, and America had brought us in. And my parents waited in line for seven years, we all did, for seven years to get our citizenship.
The last thing that my dad had hang over his bed when he passed away two years ago was his naturalization certificate. I love this country so much that I wrote a blank check up to and including my life to defend it for 25 years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other parts of the world. So here's my thing to anybody who wants to come here. Don't ask for an American dream if you're not willing to debate American laws and embrace the American culture.
I love that. That is so good. We are a very generous country. But if you're breaking in the country and you're not coming on our terms, then we have the right to repel those people from coming into America. No, you're absolutely right. And here's the thing. You have to assimilate. If you want to be an American, you've got to be an American. And right now we're allowing 13,000 convicted –
and 16,000 convicted rapists to come into this country under the Biden watch. And if you are better off today, it turns out you're probably an illegal alien. I'm using this line, play cut 197.
The biggest issues for Virginia voters, we polled, includes economy, followed by housing affordability, then threats to democracy and immigration. The basic question is this. Are you better off today than you were four years ago? If you say yes, you're probably an illegal alien. But honestly, at the end of the day, the people that got us into this mess, Tim Kaine has been in office for 30 years.
Tell us more, Hung. Again, we have illegal aliens that come here. They've killed people like Jocelyn Dungary and Laken Riley. But also within Virginia, there's a grandmother named Melody Waldecker that was carjacked up in Sterling, Virginia, and she was run over and killed by an illegal alien. Down in Chesapeake, there's this young student, 19 years old, Lauren Nicole Leonard. She's young –
African-American girl who was going to college and she wanted to be a forensic scientist and she was killed by an illegal alien. You know, at what point do we say enough, enough of killing our people, enough of, you know, destroying our land and, you know, enough of coming over here and breaking our laws? I mean, we waited in line and everybody should, too. One of the things you've been warning about is the.
march of Marxism in this country, something your family understands. When you see the persecution of President Trump and political dissidents, the lawfare, what is your warning to the American people of the type of country that we are becoming? I mean, you see it in churches, right? They're attacking our churches and where we worship. I'm a Christian. And so, you know, I go to Cornerstone Christian, I believe. Yeah, great church. Gary Hammer. Yeah, yeah.
Yep, Gary is a very good friend of ours. And, you know, but the attack on the church and also the attack on our civil rights, as well as, you know, Kamala Harris wants to price control. She also wants to tax you on unrealized gains. That means if your house goes up in Zillow, you owe this amount of tax, even though you don't have it in your pocket. And then you've got
Tim Walsh, who wants to have the snitch line during COVID where you can snitch on your neighbors. And in Michigan, they have a snitch line for the kids to tell on their parents if they're not handling their guns safely. And again, this is what communists do. They turn the kids against you. And that's exactly what happened in Mao's China where the Cultural Revolution where kids were turning their parents into the government. That's right. And Mao's Little Red Guard
turning in kids against their parents. Hung, please tell people how the audience can support you and your path to victory in Virginia these next 32 days.
Please go to hungforva.com. So that's H-U-N-G-F-O-R-V-A.com. Look, you may not be able to vote for me if you're not in Virginia, but I can vote for you because my vote in the U.S. Senate will secure your liberties. I fought for you for 25 years. I've bled for you guys. I'm not done fighting for Virginia or for the United States of America.
Tim Kaine is very nervous. Democrats are maybe going to spend more money in the state. Just very quickly, what parts of the state are you focusing and emphasizing and your closing message for voters? Again, I've been I ran for Congress in 2022 in North Virginia, which includes Loudoun County, where they were attacking schools, were attacking the parents.
And I moved that needle 13%. So I've been working hard on Northern Virginia, but then also in the Southern part in Richmond, we're pretty much tied with him in Richmond. In Hampton Roads, I spent three tours of duty there in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. So the Hampton Roads area...
that's where three of my kids were born. So we know that area very well. And then Southwest, my in-laws lived in Roanoke for, you know, 25 years. And so we know that area very well too. So I'm to tell you the truth, I'm concentrating all of Virginia because I want to represent all of Virginians. Hung. Thank you so much. It's hung for va.com. Thank you so much. Thank you, Charlie.

New York Times article here. So let's go through the story here. FEMA whistleblowers have revealed a treasonous misuse of taxpayer funds. Pre-disaster aid for Hurricane Helene was withheld, leaving first responders and service members in hotels waiting for orders that never came. Matt Gaetz is now blasting Alejandro Mayorkas for saying FEMA has wasted taxpayer money, misused funds, and left federal, state, and local responders without the orders they needed to act.
Gates also confirms that hundreds, if not thousands, of service members were deployed to North Carolina by the Department of Defense and have been sitting idle waiting for FEMA. To make matters worse, Gates points out that FEMA funds were used by NGOs to buy airline tickets for migrants, even though money was really meant for disaster relief. The aftermath of Hurricane Helene is a major disaster, and your waste and lack of preparation are leaving Americans in distress without food, water, or medicine, and no help in sight.
Gates is demanding answers by October 11th, saying that Mayorkas to expand. Mayorkas is really a traitor to the country. It's really bad. And I think that needs to be highlighted a lot more. There's a lot of stuff about FEMA. Like, OK, are they too fast, slow to respond? Obviously, the overall response is like languorous, lackluster. But what you really need to highlight is that FEMA has been
been pivoted by the biden harris administration into this like arm of the illegal immigration racket so this organization that we created to respond to actual emergencies has now become like a welfare agency for the engineered emergency of flying unlimited illegal immigrants into america oh we have a migrant crisis we need to help these people with this crisis and they funneled
Billions of dollars to them. And that's why Mayorkas is going around saying, oh, we've run out of money because we've had to spend hundreds of millions, billions of dollars on illegals. And they can get free phones. They can get free hotels. They can get free housing. They can get free this, that, that, that, that. And they're just being distributed throughout the country.
And people who are not legally allowed to be here, or if they are legally allowed, it's because of this bogus thing. This app. Yeah, this app. I want to reiterate the app. Mayorkas designed this. This is the CBP1 app. Everybody, can we download it, by the way? Can anybody download it? I bet you can. Yeah, you should look for it. Should I do this live on air? Try to download it? Let's see if you can. It'll be bad if we can't find it, but I think you can. No, I mean, let me see if I can download it. CBP. Oh, yeah, it's right here.
Literally, you could download it. No way. That's amazing. All right. I just downloaded the CBP1 app. I will not fraudulently fill it out, but I'm curious. So literally, I just downloaded the CBP1 app here on the App Store. This app right here is done by U.S. Customs Border Patrol. Oh, you're going to love this, Blake. It has 1,000 five-star reviews. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. So the federal government is going to track me now. Ryan, newsflash. The federal government is already tracking me. And so I can log in or sign up.
Wow. Right here. It goes right through here. Does it have easy pivot to the Spanish language? Oh, it's super easy. How many languages is it in? Do they have Portuguese, Chinese? Yeah, there's all these different languages here. So you have to log in using your login.gov to allow you to sign into your account safely and securely. Oh, I can create an account. Oh, yeah. Look at all the languages here. Oh, my goodness. It's Spanish, French, Chinese, too.
Oh my gosh. Isn't that crazy? That's insane. So once you have read and accepted the login.gov rules of service, you check it and you log in. So what this app is that I literally just downloaded, the CBP one app, this right here, but I just did this live on air. This, if I was in Haiti, gets you access into the country. Yeah.
Or, and like, if you can't figure it out, you know, there's literally like government employees or aid workers or nonprofit people who can like help you with this. It's such a sham. NGOs. There's an entire apparatus of NGOs who get taxpayer money themselves, of course. And they get you lawyers. And they'll get you the lawyers. They get you through this whole process and their entire purposes. How do you present your bogus story? Like, they're all like seeking asylum. Well, okay. They have, you know, seven or eight canned...
asylum justifications that they'll go, oh, he has reasonable grounds to claim asylum. We have to let him in now. And, you know, he has to get his day in court. That day in court could be a year from now, two years from now, 10 years from now. There have been 10 year waits for that hearing. And if you don't show up, it's the policy of the Biden administration not to try to find you or deport you anyway. It's
all a sham and they're all getting government money it's it's preposterous what they've allowed like it literally is like it is treason this app that i just downloaded is expedia.com for foreigners to come into our country seamlessly and easily maybe the hurricane victim should download this app maybe they could get some help yeah you know maybe if you called like the people who are like fleeing their homes ecological migrants then maybe like biden and harris would give a crap

Very important story here. Joining us now are two of our best, Maddie Mueller, TPSA Central Valley field rep, and Zygmund, great name, Zygmund Fisher, joining us. So from what I understand, Zygmund, you were assaulted by a student at Drexel University. Tell us all about it.
Yes. And thank you for the compliment. I appreciate that. So it started at Drexel's org fair. So I'd gone with my ally rep and we were going to set up a table. We didn't have a chapter there, but we were just going to grab a table. And I ran back to my car to get some materials. And then while I was gone, this student had come up to our table and started antagonizing these two other students that were standing at our table, just trying to inquire, not even a part of the chapter, just two prospective students just wanted to learn about our club.
And he started clapping in their faces, started yelling at them, you know, getting real, you know, within inches of their face. And the student that was assaulted the worst, he actually has autism. And when the student, you know, started clapping in his face, he wanted his personal space. So he just said, you know, push them back, like get out of my face. And the kid then proceeded to wind up and kick him in his, you know what? And then it kicked another kid in his leg. And so I came about 30 seconds after and they had told me what happened. And so I asked, you know, who did it?
And they pointed out to this kid, maybe about 10 yards from behind our table. And I said, hey, you can't be coming here assaulting people like that's not right. And so he said, oh, yeah, well, you're next. And so he started running at me with his fist up like this.
charging at me. So I grabbed him by his shirt, pulled it over his head and dragged him to the ground and kind of held him until the Capus police got there. So that's a remarkable story. And I want to pair that now with Maddie. Maddie, you're a TPSA Central Valley field rep. You got punched in the face. Is that right? Yes, sir. That is. At UC Merced. I was tabling there. We didn't have a chapter. So I was kind of infiltrating the campus, if you will. And
I was asked to leave. I asked our wonderful questions, you know, what policy am I breaking? Can you show me documentation of this policy? What happens if I stay? And they answered everything, was able to show me that I was in fact breaking a policy, supposedly. So I was in the parking lot, leaving campus, packing my car up, when a young man coming from further down in the parking lot, I assume he was walking to class because he had just gotten to campus, stopped
saw the turning point logo on our register to vote here foam board. And he looks at me and he starts saying, you know, get your effing racist organization off my campus.
And it escalated further from there to him. As I started to pull my phone out to film for my safety, I told him he was scaring me. He took my phone from my hand and threw it across the parking lot, to which he then grabbed my register to vote foam board, snapped it over his knee in half.
and came at me with a balled up fist that collided with the right side of my cheek. It knocked me off the ground and he immediately bolted from the parking lot back towards his car. Has he been arrested for assaulting a woman in a parking lot? They have not found him yet. They are following some incredible leads. PD has been nothing but helpful. Same with the campus. They were incredibly apologetic. In the wake of what happened, I...
I tend to cope with humor, so I had asked the people in activities when Campus PD brought me in to talk. I said, I bet you guys feel really bad for asking me to leave, and I was the only one that thought that that was funny, so...
Well, God bless you for your sense of humor there. So I just want everyone to understand this is Maddie Muller who is just trying to start a turning point group in Merced, which is in a conservative part of the state, mind you, the Central Valley of California, just south of Modesto and Stockton, right near that kind of Sacramento Central Valley. So you got punched in the face by a man. That is criminal assault.
And I imagine this guy is a student. You could probably easily identify him. There's probably cameras all over the place. Do you anticipate an arrest happening? It's my hope. And I do plan to press charges to the fullest extent. You know, we've
I want to know what has happened in this culture where we think it's okay to attack people and attack students no less, like what Zygmunt had to deal with over political differences. I want to, I would love to pick this guy's brain and ask him, you know,
do you think you're a better person now? Are you happy to be known as somebody who hits women now? Like I would love to be able to, to have those questions answered. Yeah. God bless you for your courage and your moral clarity for both of you. Zygmunt, I'll start with you. Zygmunt, considering that our students are constantly under attack, we have students where their dormitories are firebombed students that are knocked off and, uh,
put into hospitals. We have students that are concussed every single semester, students that are bear sprayed. It's just kind of part of being a conservative on campus, which is that you are open for targeting, harassment, hospitalization. Are you guys more enthused to keep on fighting for conservative ideas? Zygmunt, you first.
Oh, 100 percent. This incident, you know, I've been doing this job for over two years, been to over 100 plus campuses and I've never been assaulted. And things have definitely gotten way more heated up since the upcoming election. And I also want to add that Drexel has decided not to pursue any charges against the student that assaulted two of their own students. And so that in itself, I think, is definitely motivation to kind of.
protect these students. I kind of felt protective in the moment for them because obviously Drexel is not going to do anything about this. And I think we need, that's what we're doing is so important. We need to be there and fight for them. And Maddie, how about you? Maddie, you got punched in the face. Are you more enthused to keep on fighting for these ideas, these values?
Absolutely. I, my goal was to go back to UC Merced the next day and to prove that we are still here. We are still fighting. My, my whole take on this is that I would rather be the one that takes the heat from these angry people than my students. I am there to protect my students and give them that platform. So yeah, absolutely. I agree.
I joined the assault club, I guess you can say, and it has me so fired up to keep going back to these campuses because those are the campuses that need our voices the most, because that means those students that are conservative on campus know that that is the polarization that's happening. And we need to be that beacon of light for them.
I want to compliment and commend both of you and talk about your students. Your students go through so much harassment to keep on fighting Zygmunt, and yet they don't give up. Talk about the type of student that we are attracting and training at Turning Point USA. I really got to say, we really are attracting the best that the colleges have to offer because the students that I work with,
They're always, you know, they're working on their own. They're fighting back against these administrations that we know are very hostile to them. You know, they're just always facing obstacles. You know, they're not given an easy path when they try to do events, when they try to table, when they try to do anything on campus. And these students...
consistently pursue their end goal. They don't let the administrations know, let that be their final no. They keep fighting for what they know is right. And I really do commend the people that they're not even getting paid. You know, they're doing this on their own volition and because they care about the cause. So I do have a lot of respect for our students. And Maddie, I want to go to you in a second here, but I hope everyone in the audience is internalizing this. You have two young patriots here, one of which is a woman who got punched in the face.
This is the new circumstance of our country. And it is some people say, oh, you know, I don't know if I'm going to go vote. Young conservatives are getting smacked in the face. You guys can go take five minutes to go fill out a ballot. You have young people every day that are being targeted and harassed. You guys can go chase ballots.
They're putting everything on the line right now. And I'll be honest, if you in the audience are not getting constantly harassed or not, you guys aren't in the fight. You're not in the game. That's how you know you're making a difference. Maddie, talk about the type of student that we are attracting at Turning Point USA that you're empowering and encouraging every day.
Absolutely. I tell all of my chapter executives and all of the members that they are the up and coming generation that is going to take over the movement. And we are bringing in all these people that had no idea that there were other students just like them going through the same struggles. And now we're creating a unity across not just campuses, but across the entire nation through our movement. We are being able to identify students who are
who have personal testimonies, who have been through the struggles with administration, who have been supremely targeted by their other fellow students. I mean, we have one student in particular who is at CSUMB who is targeted daily on social media by pro-Palestinian and the Democratic Socialist clubs on campus. She's being raked over the coals and she goes out every single day and tables nonetheless.
I just I love that kind of that resolute spirit and that fortitude. Zygmunt, you first kind of talk about how people can get involved with Turning Point USA and some of the great successes that you've enjoyed this semester. Well, the first thing they need to do is go directly on our website and fill out. They get involved for them that way. I can get their contact and I'll kind of handle the rest. Just give me your contact information. You know, I work out of eastern Pennsylvania and most of New Jersey. And just give me your contact info. We get
you know, probably dozens of leads a week from the website. So that's really how we help expand our chapters and our movement. And so just fill that out and I'll do the rest and I'll tell you how to get involved. So Zygmunt, at Turning Point USA, we're explicitly not political, we're educational. But I'm going to ask you, how does the vibe feel on the ground from a worldview standpoint? Are students conservative more so than previous times?
So I will say, like I said, this will be my seventh or eighth semester on campus. And this semester in particular, I've noticed a really big shift with the freshmen, honestly. I think they went through all the COVID nonsense. It was their formative years. And I think that's part of the reason why they're turning to their conservative movement. That's definitely been my... Great work. Absolutely. Matty, really quick, talk about some of the successes and your commitment to keep fighting despite getting punched in the face.
Absolutely. I am proud to say that on National Voter Registration Day, we had 68 people across my territory change their party to align more conservatively. So that was a huge win for us. We will be bringing Riley Gaines to campus at Cal Poly on October 10th for Real Women's Day.
So we are very excited for that as well. And another huge win is despite what happened at UC Merced, I have, as of today, have three students who are now willing to sign a charter to chapter their, or a chapter to charter their campus. That is the best response, Maddie, is that they punch us in the face, we start a chapter. God bless you guys both, Zygmunt and Maddie. Thank you guys so much. Great work. Thanks, Charlie.
Thank you. It's the best. I'm telling you, Turning Point USA is the most important organization in the country. Prove me wrong. What other organization is more important?

By the way, we are getting tons of emails about people saying, Charlie, did you just download the CBP one app? Yes, we did. And you can you can do it yourself. You could see the app that allows you entrance into the country. Blake, what's on your mind? I was like scanning for possible stories. This is a pretty funny one. Howard Schultz, the Starbucks CEO, apparently he violated federal labor law by telling an employee, if you're not happy, you can go work for another company. This was a coercive threat.
That is now against federal labor law. I guess it is, yeah. I mean, I say that on a daily basis sometimes. Yeah, it seems pretty obvious. If you're not happy, go work somewhere else. No, that is a coercive labor threat. So, you know, very sane country that we have here. Man, the Biden administration is making me sympathize with Howard Schultz. That's terrible. Yeah, I mean... That's awful. Again, this is not a Starbucks commercial, but I mean, I do have my hot tea from Starbucks. And...
So he told an employee that you can go work for another company. If you're not happy at Starbucks, you can go work for another company. Speaking of kind of federal government involvement and labor disputes, the stock, the dock worker strike is over in a kind of predictable fashion. The Democrat oligarchs and the powers to be. This is how did you see how suspended till January 15th? How scammy this is? You know that it'll like if Trump wins, they'll bring it back on January 15th and they'll just be like, oh, Trump.
already in meltdown crisis his first day exactly and they don't want it to be up against the election this is such a scam what they're doing they're like oh we'll delay our strike until five days before the inauguration what is great is you know if that were to come to pass i think trump would have a great opportunity to you know pull a reagan and say okay national guard is going to run exactly i'm not running like this i i'll be okay i understand why republicans are more sympathetic towards labor as you know a
group not all unions are made the same though not all unions are made the same and the truth is like this is why so many people became critical of unions this guy uh i'm spacing the guy who runs it he's like basically mafiosi he literally owns a yacht this union head has an 88 foot yacht or so yeah i called like the i've got to look this up it has a hilarious name uh
Let me see. Called like the battering ram. I've got to find this meat. Harold Daggett, who owns owns more yachts than Elon Musk, according to the Hindustan Times, which is very good at. Well, while you're looking that up, I will say that not all unions are made the same. I have sympathy a lot for carpenters unions and.
pipe fitters unions plumbers no sympathy for teacher unions for the record teachers yes not teachers unions not all unions are made the same and i think it's very important to understand that this longshoremen union there's people making 150 000 a year and they're turning down a 50 percent raise they want like a 70 percent raise like i think a guaranteed seven percent annual raise each year on top
of that. What does their job consist of? Like unloading boxes? Yeah, which they deliberately, the other thing they're demanding is they deliberately keep it very backwards in like technical terms. So like if you go to China, a country that, you know, we have to worry about competing with them. China, their longshoremen sit in, you know, like a kind of air traffic control like office and they have computers and you can do it all with cranes and stuff.
And it's as advanced as it could possibly be. And here they deliberately keep it like high manpower, lower tech, antiquated. And then so that they can do this thing where this guy boasts. He's like, yeah, you know, we can shut the whole economy down and hold everyone hostage to do this. Like they're basically bandits. This is why the country became anti-union.
Yes. And again, I am told there's a lot of unions and union members. People deserve like a dignified wage. They deserve dignified working conditions. And protection, of course. But this is like a scam. This is a scam where like a few of these people, do you think those jobs are doled out in a fair way or do you think that's all like mobbed up? And also it was just really, really bad optics during the hurricane disaster. The whole thing was bad. But, and...
So anyway, that strike has been broken. It has been delayed. This is the scam. This shows you the power of the Democrat Party until January 15th. Five days before the inauguration.
They don't want any crisis until then. So somebody came in and said, hey, this is going to be bad for Kamala. We'll get you another yacht. Can you please at least delay the strike till January 15th?

Hilarious. No. Only if you want to illegally break into America would the CBP1 app help you. If you're a Haitian, if you're Nicaraguan, if you're El Salvadorian, if you are, what is it, from the Congo? Yeah, there's two Congos. Yeah, Congolese. Congolese. Okay. Then you can break into the country using the CBP1 app. They did this to stop the bad PR of the border bomb rushes and just get you in. Just fly them in. That's right.
