Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want you to take a listen to this compelling
campaign ad.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is the scariest sound you will hear when you
live in a communist country. This is the last sound
my parents heard when their fathers were taken away in
the middle of the night and they never saw their
loved ones again. That's the sound of losing your freedom,
(00:29):
the sound always living in fear. That's my family's real
life story. We escaped from Vietnam just days before Saigon
fell to the Communists. We're given a new life in
the most generous country on Earth, America saved my life.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's a good ad. That is hung Cow. He is
a retired Navy captain who served in US Special Operations
for over twenty five years, deployed Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia,
telling his family's life story, recognizing that we are losing
freedom here in America. We've had him on the show
before when he was running for Congress in Virginia. Now
(01:05):
he is running for Senate against Democrat incumbent Tim Kaine.
It is a little bit of an uphill battle, but
Glen Younkin was able to pull off a statewide victory
in twenty twenty one and if anyone else can do it,
it's going to be Hung How. He is a great guy,
a good man, has dedicated his life to this country,
knows that freedom is worth fighting for, has fought for freedom,
(01:26):
and he joins me now to talk about what's at stake. Hung,
I was so excited to see that you're running for
Senate and funny story. About fifteen minutes ago, my dad
sent me an email with hungk how is running for Senate?
Exclamation work with your campaign videos so needless to say,
(01:48):
my parents are huge fans.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Thank you, Lisa. It's so awesome to seem at church
all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, it was so funny. I was like, I'm actually
interviewing him in about fifteen minutes. You know, Hung, As
you know, campaigns are brutal, exhausting. You get attacked, personal smears.
Why run out?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's hard and for me, I've
been shot out, I've been blown up. It's nothing to me.
But when after they go after your family, that hurts
the most. When they say stuff about your family, they
or they follow your wife, That's just not something I
ever expected. You know, I'm used to being the one
catching flak, not my family.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You know, why'd you decide to run for Senate?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We're just praying after less election, you know, wondering, well,
why did we go through all this?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And we really thought we were that close, and we
did come close.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We took a Biden plus nineteen district down to less
than six percent, and so at the end of it,
I was just kind of in prayer asking myself, Okay, well,
obviously there's a reason for this.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
And then in about in the.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Spring, I was approached by certain people that I have
a great amount of respect for in the Senate saying, hey,
you need to run for a Senate And so we
did the calculations and we did a lot of prayer,
and my wife and I just await all the options
and we decided to run.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I loved your ad. I think it just hits the
perfect notes for where we are as a country. I
love this line. It says, we're losing our country. You
know it, but you also know you can't say it.
We're forced to say that wrong is right, and that's
so correct about where we are as a country. I mean,
we are we are losing our country right now.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, you're absolutely right there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
If you say something wrong, you end up getting, you know, canceled,
or they threaten you.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I mean, ask Riley Gaines and her teammates.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know they're being threatened, but for saying something that's
that's right, and we can't stand by that. This is
this is the United States of America, and if America falls,
there's nowhere else for us to run. Trust me, I
ran away from from a failing country to the United States,
and there's nowhere else to run to.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, And that's what I love about the message of
the campaign ad talking about your family's experiences escaping Vietnam,
but parallels are you seeing now in America that you
saw then?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Again, it's the people knock on your door. I mean,
that's how we did the the ad because it was true.
You know, people knocking on your door and you're you're worried.
Oh my gosh, who is it? Are they coming after us?
My mom's father was taken the midway and middle of night.
He never saw him again.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
He was killed.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And in my my paternal grandfather was also taken away
in the middle of night, and he didn't see him
for many, many, many years until we had the fleet
Vietnam and then and then he died after we left.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, and in the ad you talk about, I mean,
we've got Joe Biden, the President of the United States,
arresting his main political opponent, Donald Trump. You talk about
a pro life activist, Mark Hawku was rested in front
of his kids for daring to try to encourage people
to not get abortions. You know, you talk about the
ad the ir R s rating a gun store. Where
(04:54):
are we heading as a country.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's scary And this is exactly why I'm running for office,
because we somebody it's going to fight back. I mean,
you don't think that we were. Our liberties are being eroded.
Will just look around. I mean some of these stories
some people don't even know it. And then the destruction
of meritocracy, right, the attack on the Asian community for
just excelling, and they just want to change the entrance
(05:19):
requirement for places like Harvard and Yale because they think
there's too many Asians in there.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And it's just that's what's going to destroy a country.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I mean, there's three ways for us to be great, right,
the first, be the best, and be the only. Well,
we concentrate so much on being the first, right, being well,
the first Asian guy first, you know, one legged gal,
the first you know, person with no I or whatever. Well,
you know, let's stop looking being the first. Listen country
(05:47):
on being the best, so that we can be the
only country in the world where you can come here
with nothing and achieve everything.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Do you think people are starting to register that? I
mean you look at this administration for example, A lot
of the people in positions are there because of immautable characteristics, right.
You know, he said that he wanted minority woman as
his vice president. We got Kamala Harris. Pete booda judge
is there because he's gay. You look at Korean Pierre
John Pierre, the spokeswoman. She's a black, a woman, a lesbian.
(06:17):
So they're checking these boxes, but the boxes they aren't
checking or competency and we've really you know, and then
we've really felt that as a country as everything is
falling apart in such short period.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Oh exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, look at the guy in charge of nuclear
safety Sam Britain. The guy was stealing luggages at their fort, Like,
what is wrong with you? I mean you have Curran Jumpierre,
who's not very intelligent and only equaled by Kamala Harris.
And then yesterday you saw President Biden almost basically falling
(06:49):
asleep while he's talking to the President Israel.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I mean, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
What do you think are the big issues facing the
country and facing Virginians right now?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So the COMI, I don't care how much they say
they've brought down gas prices, it's still higher than it
was two years ago. We are energy dependent on other
countries like Venezuela and Iran.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We are not safe. There's invasion at the border.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I mean, it's not just about immigrants company over here.
We've got military age males from country like China, Yemen, Somalia,
and you and I know our geography. None of those
countries are in the southern border. So they got here
somewhere somehow, right, I mean, it's like the uh, the
turtle that you find on top of the fence posts.
He didn't get there by himself. And then also our
(07:36):
stances around the world. Nobody respects US. China's basically thumbing
their nose at us. They're doing whatever they want to.
And look at Ukraine. I mean that this would never
happen if we had strong leadership in the White House.
So we need to bring our stance back to the
to the foreign you know, to the international platform.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And I think one concern is there's no longer faith
and institutions. And rightfully so, when you look at the
FBI being weaponized, when you look at the CDC lying
to Americans during COVID, how do we regain that trust?
What sort of changes need to take place?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's going to take a lot. You're absolutely right. We
need to be open and honest and clear. I mean,
I'm just tired of all these redacted documents that are
supposed to be unclassified. The only reason why we redact
things is to protect you know, uh, secrets of this
nation or names. But you get these documents back from
(08:34):
the FBI and it's basically all blacked out and you
can't tell heads or tails from it. And we need
to be we need to have really an oversight of everything.
It's almost like an inspector general inspection of everything, where
we look at.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All the different uh, all the different agencies.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I mean, because these are unelected officials making a lot
of you know, policies for this country. And one of
the things I would love to put forward is if
a administration puts out policy. You know, it should only
last a few years. It should there should be abratory ement.
Let's just say five years so that if the next
(09:14):
administration comes in, it lasts at least one year through
so they don't have.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
To rewrite new instructions.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But then if you have to renew it more than
twice and it needs to go to Congress to me
passes the law. I mean, we need to get this
country back on track. We need to get education back
on track. I mean, if you you want, you know,
if you want people are prospering, you need to educate them,
and the right way too, not through CRT, not through
(09:41):
these other agendas. But we need to teach reading, writing,
and arithmetic to our youth well.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And education was a huge factor in Glenn Younkin's surprise
victory in Virginia in twenty twenty one. Do see the
same weakness with Tim Kaine and making education a centerpiece
of your campaign?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Absolutely, I mean education is the only path out of poverty.
And I'm telling you right now that they still don't
get it that parents have a right. I mean they're
school systems who are hiding from parents if their children
identify from another gender. I mean they're hiding a lot
of things from parents. I mean, it used to be
(10:20):
the parents were welcomed into classroom. I mean I remember
my mom.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Was always asked to volunteer in the classrooms.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And now we don't even do that anymore. We're just
we're shutting up parents out. And parents have a right
to their children. It's their children.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But do you think that's with intention? You know, part
of communism is sort of separating kids from parents or
trying to indoctrinate the youth. Is that what's going on.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That's exactly what's going on. And this is why it's
so scary.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
People that never understood what communism is just think, oh no,
this is nothing. This is exactly what slowly boiling a
frog in the pot looks like. Right, you just turn
up the heat so.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A little bit at.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
A time, and then next you know, you know, we
don't have a country anymore. Next thing you know, they're
turning your children against you. Your children are going to
turn you in because you said the wrong pronouns or
you said the wrong things. This is this is what
these regimes do. I mean, they do it best. And
this is what China has done for sixty.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Years the weaponization of government is a big concern for
conservatives right now. Or I think you know, just any
fairly minded person. You know, right now it's arresting Donald Trump.
Next it could be anyone. You know, it was a
pro life activist. What do we need to do about that?
Because you know, right now it's Donald Trump. But if
Democrats win in twenty twenty four, I don't know who's next.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
If they can go after a former president of the United States,
they can come after you. And that's what Americans need
to know. We need a lot of oversight. We need
checks and balances. That's why we have a legislative branch.
And we don't vote in the right people that will
keep the executive branch in check, then we've lost it all.
I mean, like I said, Joe Biden is basically Thummi's
(12:04):
nose at the Supreme Court when they said it's unconstitutional
for him to forgive the student loans, Well now he's
going to add he's just doing it anyways, and he's
going to add half a trillion dollars in debt to
pay off student loans when they said it's not legal.
So what the Congress of the United States need to
do is basically cut the funding. And if you're not
(12:25):
going to capitulate, then you know what, then we're going
to cut off the funding for Air Force one. And
you can just stay there and eat bond bonds all day,
because you're not leaving the White House until you realize
that there's a checks and balance in this country and
you're not the supreme ruler.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
You're a retired Navy captain. You served in US Special
Operations for over twenty five years, deploying in Afghanistan, Iraq,
and Somalia. The military's facing a big recruiting crisis right now. Why.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
The biggest problem is that we used to have a
motto that leave no person behind, and we leave people
we leave. We left people behind in Afghanistan. You know,
I personally, you know, helped get one hundred and sixty
two people out of Afghanistan. People that work with me,
people that risk their lives for me. We left people behind.
And not only that, we have service members. A couple
(13:14):
of days ago, this young lady was testifying that he
was forced to be in birthing with biological males and
she could not say anything about it. And we're we're
destroying all that in the military. You know, it used
to be the military was, hey, we're there, We're a
big sledgehammer. But now it's like it's their little cesspool,
their experimental lab for all the woke agendas that they
(13:38):
want to push forward.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, hunk, how I know you're in the car
right now. You're in the you're living the campaign life.
You're one thing to the next, trying to get your
message out, you know, trying to get out there in Virginia.
Is there anything else you'd like to leave us with
before we go, Yes, Lisa.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thank you so much for having me here.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And you know, Virginia's just deserves somebody that that's going
to fight for them. We're tired of all these bureaucrats.
We're tired of lifelong politicians, you know, like Tim Kane,
you've been doing all these things for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Thanks for playing you.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, don't go away mad, just go away to
take your gold watch and retire. But we need fighters
in the Senate and in Congress. We need people that
believe in the same things we do of God, family,
and country. And so please come to hung for VA
dot com. So hun g for va dot com if
you want to know more about what A policies are.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Hung Kow for Senate. I'm so glad you're running. You're
a good man. You've done a lot for this country,
and I think you're saying a message that needs to
be heard that we're losing freedom. We're losing the liberty
that you and so many people fought for, and we've
got to fight for it. So I appreciate you doing
just that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Huh, thank you, Lisa. I'm not done fighting.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That was hung Cow running for Senate in Virginia, taking
on Democrat incumbent Tim Kaine. Appreciate him taking the time,
such an interesting life story, really great guy, so I
appreciate joining us. I want to thank you guys at
home for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you can
listen throughout the week. I want to thank John Cassio
and my producer for putting the show together. Until next time.
I want you to take a listen to this compelling
campaign ad.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is the scariest sound you will hear when you

It's almost like an inspector general inspection of everything, where
we look at.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All the different uh, all the different agencies.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I mean, because these are unelected officials making a lot
of you know, policies for this country. And one of
the things I would love to put forward is if
a administration puts out policy. You know, it should only
last a few years. It should there should be abratory ement.
Let's just say five years so that if the next
(09:14):
administration comes in, it lasts at least one year through
so they don't have.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
To rewrite new instructions.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
But then if you have to renew it more than
twice and it needs to go to Congress to me
passes the law. I mean, we need to get this
country back on track. We need to get education back
on track. I mean, if you you want, you know,
if you want people are prospering, you need to educate them,
and the right way too, not through CRT, not through
(09:41):
these other agendas. But we need to teach reading, writing,
and arithmetic to our youth well.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And education was a huge factor in Glenn Younkin's surprise
victory in Virginia in twenty twenty one. Do see the
same weakness with Tim Kaine and making education a centerpiece
of your campaign?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Absolutely, I mean education is the only path out of poverty.
And I'm telling you right now that they still don't
get it that parents have a right. I mean they're
school systems who are hiding from parents if their children
identify from another gender. I mean they're hiding a lot
of things from parents. I mean, it used to be
(10:20):
the parents were welcomed into classroom. I mean I remember
my mom.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Was always asked to volunteer in the classrooms.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And now we don't even do that anymore. We're just
we're shutting up parents out. And parents have a right
to their children. It's their children.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But do you think that's with intention? You know, part
of communism is sort of separating kids from parents or
trying to indoctrinate the youth. Is that what's going on.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That's exactly what's going on. And this is why it's
so scary.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
People that never understood what communism is just think, oh no,
this is nothing. This is exactly what slowly boiling a
frog in the pot looks like. Right, you just turn
up the heat so.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A little bit at.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
A time, and then next you know, you know, we
don't have a country anymore. Next thing you know, they're
turning your children against you. Your children are going to
turn you in because you said the wrong pronouns or
you said the wrong things. This is this is what
these regimes do. I mean, they do it best. And
this is what China has done for sixty.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Years the weaponization of government is a big concern for
conservatives right now. Or I think you know, just any
fairly minded person. You know, right now it's arresting Donald Trump.
Next it could be anyone. You know, it was a
pro life activist. What do we need to do about that?
Because you know, right now it's Donald Trump. But if
Democrats win in twenty twenty four, I don't know who's next.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
If they can go after a former president of the United States,
they can come after you. And that's what Americans need
to know. We need a lot of oversight. We need
checks and balances. That's why we have a legislative branch.
And we don't vote in the right people that will
keep the executive branch in check, then we've lost it all.
I mean, like I said, Joe Biden is basically Thummi's
(12:04):
nose at the Supreme Court when they said it's unconstitutional
for him to forgive the student loans, Well now he's
going to add he's just doing it anyways, and he's
going to add half a trillion dollars in debt to
pay off student loans when they said it's not legal.
So what the Congress of the United States need to
do is basically cut the funding. And if you're not
(12:25):
going to capitulate, then you know what, then we're going
to cut off the funding for Air Force one. And
you can just stay there and eat bond bonds all day,
because you're not leaving the White House until you realize
that there's a checks and balance in this country and
you're not the supreme ruler.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
You're a retired Navy captain. You served in US Special
Operations for over twenty five years, deploying in Afghanistan, Iraq,
and Somalia. The military's facing a big recruiting crisis right now. Why.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
The biggest problem is that we used to have a
motto that leave no person behind, and we leave people
we leave. We left people behind in Afghanistan. You know,
I personally, you know, helped get one hundred and sixty
two people out of Afghanistan. People that work with me,
people that risk their lives for me. We left people behind.
And not only that, we have service members. A couple
(13:14):
of days ago, this young lady was testifying that he
was forced to be in birthing with biological males and
she could not say anything about it. And we're we're
destroying all that in the military. You know, it used
to be the military was, hey, we're there, We're a
big sledgehammer. But now it's like it's their little cesspool,
their experimental lab for all the woke agendas that they
(13:38):
want to push forward.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, hunk, how I know you're in the car
right now. You're in the you're living the campaign life.
You're one thing to the next, trying to get your
message out, you know, trying to get out there in Virginia.
Is there anything else you'd like to leave us with
before we go, Yes, Lisa.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thank you so much for having me here.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And you know, Virginia's just deserves somebody that that's going
to fight for them. We're tired of all these bureaucrats.
We're tired of lifelong politicians, you know, like Tim Kane,
you've been doing all these things for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Thanks for playing you.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, don't go away mad, just go away to
take your gold watch and retire. But we need fighters
in the Senate and in Congress. We need people that
believe in the same things we do of God, family,
and country. And so please come to hung for VA
dot com. So hun g for va dot com if
you want to know more about what A policies are.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Hung Kow for Senate. I'm so glad you're running. You're
a good man. You've done a lot for this country,
and I think you're saying a message that needs to
be heard that we're losing freedom. We're losing the liberty
that you and so many people fought for, and we've
got to fight for it. So I appreciate you doing
just that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Huh, thank you, Lisa. I'm not done fighting.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That was hung Cow running for Senate in Virginia, taking
on Democrat incumbent Tim Kaine. Appreciate him taking the time,
such an interesting life story, really great guy, so I
appreciate joining us. I want to thank you guys at
home for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you can
listen throughout the week. I want to thank John Cassio
and my producer for putting the show together. Until next time.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
