US Senate candidate for Virginia Hung Cao faces serious Super PAC finance questions...

Time Text
Welcome to this exclusive report for NaturalNews.com and Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Natural News and Brighteon.
And we have an exclusive news issue today that is, I think, of very high importance for the upcoming election in November and the composition of the United States Senate, which, as you know, is teetering right on the edge of absolute tyranny. is teetering right on the edge of absolute tyranny.
And with Trump leading in many of the polls, especially in the seven swing states, it appears increasingly likely that Trump is poised to win the election, even if he's in jail at the time.
But what's going to happen to the Senate and the House?
Well, listen to this story.
Here's the headline from Natural News.
Exclusive.
Trump endorsed U.S. Senate candidate for Virginia, Hung Cao, and that's spelled C-A-O. He is of Vietnamese ethnicity.
Accused of fraud by misusing PAC funds to support his own Senate campaign, Virginia House and Senate candidates react.
So let me give you some background on this.
You know, we have a submit a news tip form on our website and other news tip channels.
And so I received some documents.
One of them is the PDF of this filing, which we posted in this story.
So it's a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, the FEC. And we posted the PDF of this complaint.
And according to this complaint, Mr.
Mr. Hong Kao engaged in, quote, mail fraud and wire fraud by raising funds for a super PAC that apparently he set up or spearheaded the founding of it.
It was called Unleash America PAC, P-A-C, you know, Political Action Committee.
Unleash America PAC.
He, according to the complaint, and we've also been able to confirm this through other means, which I will detail here, he solicited donations to the PAC on the premise that those funds would be used to support local candidates in state races across Virginia, races for the Virginia House of Delegates and the Virginia Senate.
Furthermore, according to this complaint, the Unleash America PAC did not donate a single dollar or expend any money in support of any Virginia candidate committees in 2023.
Instead, some of that money has been directed, according to numerous sources, to compensate several people working on Hong Kong's current U.S. Senate campaign.
Thus, the funds that were originally raised on the promise of supporting Virginia state candidates are now being used for Senate campaign expenditures.
Now I'm quoting from the complaint.
Among them, for mail lists and political consultants aiding his U.S. Senate campaign.
According to the allegations of the complaint.
Now, USA Today had covered some elements of the Unleash America PAC a couple of months ago, I think in April.
But they were not aware of this FEC complaint that we have now received and that we have now posted publicly.
Which accuses Mr.
Hung Kao of essentially fraud and asks for him to be referred for criminal investigations by the DOJ, which at this point, I don't trust anything coming out of the DOJ. Look at what they're doing to Trump in New York.
Look at the weaponization of the DOJ against conservatives or Trump supporters and so on.
So I would not trust any DOJ investigation of any GOP candidate.
That's just my personal view and opinion on the matter, but I'm just sharing this with you because this is part of the complaint.
Now, of course, we have reached out to Mr. Hung Kao's campaign.
I sent an email many, many hours ago.
I gave them the details of the allegations.
I asked them for a response.
I told them that in good faith, I am looking to publish their response.
And as of right now, I do not have a response.
I also simultaneously emailed the same list of allegations to his opponent in the primary, who is Jonathan Emord, Now, Jonathan Emord, whom I have known for over 10 years, and I've interviewed Mr.
Emord numerous times here and there.
Last year, I also donated to Jonathan Emord's campaign, so I want to be very clear about that.
I have not donated to Hong Kao's campaign, but I did donate to Mr.
Emord's campaign.
Also, for the record, I voted for Trump twice.
And it seems likely, although I'm very frustrated with some things that Trump has done.
I don't know that we have any other choice but to vote for Trump again.
So I'm not here to debate what Trump is or isn't.
What I'm pointing out is that Trump endorsed Hong Kao and I voted for Trump.
So that actually carries some weight with me to be pro-Hong Kao.
But then again, I also donated to Jonathan Imord, his primary opponent.
So you might argue, well, that works in favor of Imord against Hong Kong.
Well, let me just clear the air if anybody's got any questions.
Here's the thing.
The most important thing here, in my view, is to defeat Tim Kaine.
Defeat Tim Kaine.
Tim Kaine is the Democrat senator who was Hillary Clinton's vice presidential candidate in the 2016 election.
If Trump had not won by, you know, overpowering the Democrat cheating machine, which was truly a miracle of history, if Trump had not won in 2016, Tim Kaine would have been vice president.
And he would have, by the way, he would have made a much better vice president than Kamala Harris.
But then again, you know, that's not a difficult bar decision.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not hard to be a better VP than Kamala.
In any case, Jonathan Emord's office, I contacted his press office, and they did reply to me with the following statement, which I think is pretty big.
Now, I also reached out, I did a lot of investigation, I spent all day on this, and I called, well, I called four other candidates in Virginia, Three of them talked to me on the record.
The fourth has not returned my call.
So who knows?
Maybe she's on vacation or something.
I don't know.
So I have statements for you here today from four people.
Let's start with Jonathan Emord, who, again, is the primary opponent of Hong Kao.
He says, quote, the facts reveal a breach of the public trust that is disqualifying.
Kow deceived Virginians and people across the country into believing the funds he solicited for his Unleash America PAC would be spent on state candidates.
Instead, he took the money for himself and his U.S. Senate campaign.
He should reimburse all donors to that sham PAC. Okay, so that's the statement from Imord.
It's not that long, and he's not actually calling for Cao to end his campaign, which might be inappropriate anyway, given that Imord is his direct opponent in the primary.
But he is calling for Cao to reimburse the donors.
Because the donors were deceived, says Imord.
But also, by the way, in my story that I'm publishing on this, you'll see it at naturalnews.com, USA Today talked to donors who said that they were also deceived, that they heard Hong Kao on the radio promising that if you donated to this PAC, Unleash America, that he would use the money to support other candidates.
And that did not happen.
And what's even more strange about all of this is Let me see if I can find.
Here it is.
I've got a screenshot of an email from Steve Roberts, who is the general counsel of Hongkau for Virginia.
And Steve Roberts, in this email, is replying to Elizabeth Bayer, B-E-Y-E-R, Who is the author of these stories.
She's part of the USA Today Network, also with Newsleader.com.
I think they have a content sharing agreement.
I'm not sure exactly what that is.
But Elizabeth Bayer, I think it's pronounced Bayer, she has been pursuing this story quite a bit.
I think she's published three or four stories on this and has been asking questions of the Hong Kong campaign and asking them to respond to questions like, where did the money go?
And so far, they have not responded.
According to USA Today, they have not responded to those questions specifically.
But they did reply with the following statement, which is very confusing to me.
So again, this is from Steve Roberts, the general counsel of Hong Kong for Virginia.
He's replying to Elizabeth.
Again, he says, Unleash America PAC is a federally registered super PAC and as such cannot make contributions to any campaign whatsoever.
No campaign could possibly have received a contribution from Unleash America PAC, nor could Hong have pledged to make such a contribution.
And I read that and I'm saying, I'm saying, what?
Because I have, in researching this story, I have seen, I've watched Hung Kao make promises to financially support other campaigns.
Strongly inferred, implied promises.
I mean, he didn't directly say, I'm going to give a million dollars to this group.
He wasn't naming dollar amounts, but he clearly made these promises that if you donate to the Unleash America PAC, that that money is going to go to other candidates.
So USA Today, whom I do not trust USA Today by default, You know, because, well, it's more of a left-leaning newspaper.
But I have to say that Elizabeth Bayer here, she appears to have been a very fair journalist in covering this particular story.
I wish she would look into Hunter Biden's laptop and all the financial kickbacks to the Biden crime family from Burisma and China and who knows what else.
But that might be asking too much of anybody who writes for USA Today because when you're When your salary depends on not finding the truth, well, you're very likely to not find it.
Now, I'm on nobody's payroll, by the way.
Nobody pays me.
I mean, I don't answer to anybody.
I'm the founder of the platform that is publishing this story.
I only answer to you, the readers, just to be clear.
So I'm actually in a much better position than Elizabeth Beyer.
She can be fired.
I can't be fired.
So I just want to get to the bottom of this.
Anyway, Elizabeth...
Did I say Bayer?
Bayer.
I'm sorry, I'm a little bit confused about the spelling.
It's got to be Bayer.
I'm sorry.
Elizabeth Bayer...
She writes that when Cow launched Unleash America in February of 2023, the Super PAC had one stated goal, to get Republicans elected during Virginia's 2023 statehouse contests to support Governor Glenn Youngkin's agenda, as reported by the Staunton News Leader and USA Today.
And anyway, you can read all the details.
I'm not going to read everything for you here.
You can find it here at naturalnews.com.
But Elizabeth Bayer goes on to write...
She spoke with Robert Landrum, who donated to the Super PAC. She writes that Robert Landrum thought he was supporting Republicans in Virginia's statehouse elections that year, referring to 2023, when he donated $500 to a federal Super PAC in April 2023.
The super PAC had one stated goal, et cetera, to get Republicans elected.
That's how he represented the PAC. That's a quote from Mr.
Robert Landrum.
That's what he said, Landrum stated in a phone interview with USA Today.
And then Elizabeth Bayer goes on to talk about the appearances on a radio show and a couple other articles that quote Mr.
Hong Kao.
So we went searching for that radio show.
Actually, I had one of my staffers doing research here while I was working on this article and conducting interviews.
We found the broadcast.
It's called Richmond's Morning News with John Reed.
And we published a link to it.
It's at omny.fm, which apparently is like a broadcast podcast site.
Anyways, February 2nd, 2023, if you want to find that broadcast.
And then I listened to it, and in less than four minutes, here's what Kyle says on the show.
He says what we need to do right now is we need to get leaders in the Virginia House of Delegates and the State Senate that believe in our values, and that's why I'm launching Unleash America PAC, because I was one of the top fundraisers in the country last year, this past year.
I was 14th out of 435 people.
I had people giving from all 50 states, and I wanted to use that in order to help the people running this year, and especially getting the vote out.
And then the host, John Reed, apparently, asks, will your PAC start to address some of those issues?
Where are you going to put the money?
And Mr.
Cow says...
Obviously, a lot of the races that people wrote off saying, this is not going to happen, so we need to look at these candidates who have a fighting chance, and we've got to get them across, like across the finish line, because without a good House of Delegates and without a state Senate, the governor is not going to be able to get half the things that he wants to get across.
So there he is, very much implying or inferring that, yes, we're going to give this money to the candidates.
He doesn't technically say, I'm going to write a check to every local candidate in Northern Virginia or anything like that.
But the impression that the listener gets from hearing this is that that's exactly what's going to happen.
I think a reasonable listener would reach that conclusion.
But there are other examples of this.
So I also found a video clip, and it's not clear when this video clip was recorded.
But it's a meeting.
It looks like it's in a local restaurant.
Frankly, it looks like it's at an IHOP restaurant based on what's on the wall.
And there's a video of this.
I have the video.
And he says, quote, we stood up a super PAC called Unleash America that's both a federal and state so that we can take the money and invest into the elections for this year.
I'm not trying to brag, he says.
I was the 14th largest fundraiser in the entire country.
So NRCC last year, I'm not sure if NRCC is correct.
There was some noise during the video when he said whatever that is.
But I think he said NRCC. And he continues, so what's the best way to do that?
That's why I'm working very hard this year in order to figure out a way to get the vote out to state elections.
Okay, so he says, the key line here is, we can take the money and invest into the elections for this year.
And he's referring to state elections.
So, having this information, again, I don't by default believe USA Today.
Although, I was able to confirm what they reported in this case, just to be clear.
I'm just telling you, I'm like Ronald Reagan on this, trust but verify, you know?
So, okay, USA Today reports something, alright, let's trust it by default, but let's verify that.
And that's what I did for this story.
And as part of that verification process, I began calling Various congressional candidates who were running in Virginia, some for the U.S. House of Representatives and other candidates for local Virginia elections.
So I spoke with Mike Van Meter, who was running for the 11th congressional district in 2024.
And his website is vanmeterforvirginia.com.
And he gave me a lot of background information about why the PAC was founded by Hong Kong.
And essentially, the short version is that Governor Yunkin has his super PAC called the Spirit of Virginia.
And that PAC raises tens of millions of dollars, deep pockets, big donors.
But Governor Youngkin doesn't spread that money around to everybody in the GOP in Virginia.
What he does is he funds just certain hand-selected campaigns.
And as a result, everybody else is left high and dry.
And that has been confirmed to me by several sources here.
There's a lot of frustration with that.
Now, I did not reach out to Governor Youngkin's office, so perhaps he has a strategy for why this is necessary to maximize investments in campaigns.
Who knows?
I'm not judging that decision.
I'm just saying that that's what Youngkin does with the spirit of Virginia PAC. Anyway, so Mr.
Mike Van Meter, he publicly expressed a lot of frustration with his policy on a show called The Larry O'Connor Show.
And he says this was around October.
And he was very vocal, sort of expressing frustration about the lack of financial support for other candidates.
And he said that then Mr.
Hong Kao called him immediately after he got off this Larry O'Connor show, which he said was about 6.30 in the morning.
This is very early in the morning, and Hong Kao was listening.
Now, Hong Kao is a military veteran, so he's one of those guys that can probably wake up at 5 a.m., you know?
That's not me.
I'm not up at 5 a.m.
But Hung Kao is.
You know, you've got to honor that.
He's got a strong work ethic.
Anyway, so he calls Van Meter and says, hey, and I'm paraphrasing this.
I'm shortening this.
You can read the actual quote in my article.
Basically, he says, hey, I'm going to start this new pack, and we're going to make sure that we're going to raise money to help each other.
And this is a quote, particularly races that need the money like yours.
And so Mike Van Meter said, essentially, that's great.
And he had this conversation with Mr.
Kyle, but then after that, he never heard from him again.
I mean, never heard anything from this PAC. And also, Van Meter told me, he insisted that Mr.
Kyle never directly promised any specific funds to him.
But that this promise was strongly inferred from the conversation.
And the quote from Van Meter is, quote, it was clear from the conversation.
I got the impression that was the intent of the PAC. In other words, to fund these other candidates, even though, as we heard from the general counsel working with Hong Kong, this PAC is a federal PAC, and apparently it's not allowed to To fund local state races using Super PAC money because it's a federal PAC and donations are intended for, apparently, for federal campaign purposes.
At least that's my understanding of this.
Now, if I have anything wrong here, number one, I'm trying to explain this in good faith.
This is kind of a complex story.
There's a lot of moving parts.
If I have anything wrong, if you can correct me on this, there's two things that you can do.
You can post comments underneath this story on naturalnews.com or you can post comments under this video on brighttown.com.
We'll also post this on Rumble and BitChute and other video sites.
You can post comments or you can also reach out to us.
There's a submit a news tip link at naturalnews.com at the very bottom of the page.
You can submit a tip to us, which is how a lot of information comes to us, and you can offer a correction, and we will take all of those seriously.
We want to be accurate in this.
It's really critical.
So in the interest of accuracy and due diligence, then I also reached out to Mr.
Nan Nguyen.
Now, Mr.
Nguyen, his last name, he's Vietnamese, as is Hung Cao.
Now, Mr.
Nguyen, his last name is spelled H-U-Y-N-H. And of course, I totally mispronounced it when I first spoke with him on the phone.
I apologize.
For Americans, the Vietnamese names are especially difficult to try to sound out.
But that's just, you know, it is what it is.
So Mr.
Nguyen, who is also a conservative, who, by the way, is a veteran.
Mr.
Nguyen told me that he was a refugee who escaped the communist regime.
I don't know how old he was exactly.
And one of the reasons he's so passionate about liberty and freedom in America is because of his experience under communism.
And I don't know if you are aware of this, but Vietnam, even to this day, is a communist country.
Not everybody seems to realize that.
And by the way, just as a tangential side note to all of this, you know, I'm married to an immigrant.
And my wife's family from Taiwan, they escaped the communist regime in China.
They were, you know, her ancestors were part of the people who fled communist China with Chiang Kai-shek and made it to Taiwan and set up their own nation there, which, of course, China says is still always part of China.
I'm not going to get into all that.
But look, I used to live in Taiwan.
I'm married to an immigrant.
I used to talk to people there all the time who lived under Japanese occupation in Taiwan.
You know, relatively much older folks because of when those events happened surrounding World War II. But anyway, I understand when somebody says to me that they escaped communism and that's why they love freedom, I totally get that because some of the best Americans that I've ever met are immigrants.
Because they fled conditions of tyranny, and it gives them a special kind of authenticity and valuing the fundamentals of freedom that America offers.
Or at least, I mean, we're losing those freedoms, obviously, when you have a State Department that seizes the passport of Scott Ritter with no explanation.
You know, when you have a...
A DOJ that weaponizes against the American people and a former president.
And so I'm not going to go into all these details, but I'm just saying that Mr.
Wynn, my impression of him from the conversation with him was that he's a true American in the deepest sense of the American spirit.
So just providing that as background, essentially Mr.
Nguyen told me that he used to even volunteer for the Hung Cao campaign, the congressional campaign, and that he himself, Mr. Nguyen, was quite a wholehearted supporter of Mr. Cao.
And they're both Vietnamese, by the way, so there's sort of a natural ethnic, you know, brotherhood, you could say.
And also, Mr.
Nguyen told me that the district for which he ran, which I believe is the 9th District of Virginia, has a very high percentage of minorities, most of whom are Asian.
So there's a lot of Vietnamese, there's a lot of Chinese, there's a lot of Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, and so on.
And Mr.
Nguyen said to me, and you can read the exact quote in my article, that Hong Kao used his name and Mr.
Nguyen's name to fundraise, but then Mr.
Kao turned his back on us.
He promised all this support to local candidates.
To attract minority voters.
We need minority support and so on.
He says, we can't just give lip service to these people.
We want to attract minorities.
We have to engage them and Hong Kong did not do that.
And he said it's devastating to not have support because we need these minorities to turn out who share our principles and support anti-communist ideals.
And he says what Democrats represent are communist principles, which, of course, that characterization is accurate.
More and more Democrats today are just taking their playbook right out of communism.
Anyway, the bottom line here is Mr.
Nguyen says that Hong Kao should own up to it about the alleged misuse of funds.
And he said the following.
Ultimately, I think he should withdraw from the race because I think Democrats are going to pound on it if he wins the nomination.
And it hurts us in the long run.
So there's the crux of this matter, and that's essentially one of the reasons why I thought this story was so important.
If Hong Kao, now having these allegations of even fraud or misuse of funds, and having him on video and on audio promising to raise money through this pack and then to, in essence, distribute some of those funds to other candidates.
Having him on the record saying that with the possibility that this may be a very blatant violation of federal election rules, this is ammunition for Democrats to really undermine Hong Kong's campaign if he wins the primary. this is ammunition for Democrats to really undermine Hong Kong's And you can just see the ad campaigns that Tim Kaine and the Democrats are going to come I mean, it's not hard to imagine.
It's going to be something like, oh, Hong Kao accused of wire fraud and endorsed by a convicted felon, Donald J. Trump.
You know, because they love to say convicted felon every day now that Trump has been, quote, convicted by a completely dishonest rigged court.
I think Trump should just say to the press, clarification, I am a justice-impacted individual, and my pronouns are, you know, X and Y. But anyway, the media, isn't it funny?
Sorry, I keep getting distracted, but isn't it funny how the media, when a Democrat, or let's say an illegal alien, a migrant, Or a left-wing minority person or like an LGBT person, when they're arrested and charged with a violent crime and then they're convicted with felony counts, the press will never call them a felon, will they?
Oh, the justice-impacted individual.
But when Trump gets convicted on a made-up premise of essentially...
An accounting entry about a non-disclosure agreement.
You know, hey, you agree not to disclose this information and we'll pay you, which is incredibly common in tech, in medicine, in politics, in media.
It's so common.
If you criminalize that, half the business owners in the country are felons.
But anyway, that's a side note.
I'm just saying that the Democrats are going to pound on Hong Kao, and again, by tying him to Trump as the felon.
He said, look, it's a tag team of criminals.
That's what the ads will say, even though that's dishonest, to say that Mr.
Hong Kao is not a criminal.
He hasn't been convicted of any such crime, although No doubt the Democrats would try to push for that, you know, investigation.
The bottom line is they would be really hobbling the Hung Cow campaign from the very start.
Whereas Mr.
Cow's opponent, Jonathan Emord, the attorney, who is known as the FDA Dragon Slayer, to my knowledge, Mr.
Emord has no such baggage whatsoever.
And I have been an admirer of Jonathan Emord's intellect and capabilities as a lawyer who has argued numerous cases before the United States Supreme Court.
And he has won cases.
Perhaps more than any other person bringing health freedom cases before the Supreme Court.
But Jonathan Emord has, in my opinion, the level of Intellect and integrity that can survive the brutal lies and propaganda that the Democrats will hurl at him.
Because that's how Democrats play this game.
You can count on it.
But it's hard to make up lies about Imor that can stick because...
He's not Hunter Biden.
He doesn't have a laptop smoking crack with underage hookers.
Thank goodness.
You have to think about the strategy here of if you believe in America and you know how much damage the Democrats have done, and granted, this is my own opinion.
This is not a fact of this story.
This is my personal opinion and my personal standing.
I believe you have to present the candidate who is most likely to defeat Tim Kaine.
And based on what I now know about Hong Kao, even what I'm reporting, the videos I've seen, the documents I've seen, the questions that have been raised, and how numerous local candidates are speaking out against him, I also have quotes from Maxwell Fisher, by the way, or he's known as Max, who That has some other things to add in terms of context to all of this.
It's my belief that Hong Kao is too vulnerable to reliably have a solid chance at defeating Tim Kaine.
That's just my opinion.
I understand that some people may disagree with that.
But part of what goes into that opinion on my part is the fact that the Democrats will be incredibly well-funded because Tim Kaine will get money.
From all kinds of sources all over the country and all kinds of Democrat PACs.
And who knows?
I mean, the Democrat Party is such a corrupt cabal, in my opinion.
You know, they wouldn't even let Bernie Sanders have an honest shot four years ago.
You know, they ruined their own candidates or blocked them.
I don't even know that the Democrats are going to try to hold on to Joe Biden at this point.
Is Joe Biden electable?
If Joe Biden were re-elected, well, I mean, he wasn't even elected the first time, to my knowledge, but if he were elected, would he even know it?
Would he even have any understanding of who he is and where he is and what's going on?
You know, it's the White House, sir!
It's the White House!
I wanted a Blue House!
You know, it's like, my God!
This is supposed to be the leader of the free world?
Are you kidding me?
So the Democrats are desperately trying to figure out who they can put in there.
And that decision, if it happens to replace Biden, will very likely happen this month, late June.
Perhaps early July, but beyond that, there's no other chance to replace him.
Anyway, that's beyond the scope of this story.
Those are just my personal comments, and that's not directly relevant to this Virginia situation.
But I do believe that we have to put forth the best candidates who can defeat Democrats, because Democrats represent In my opinion, the complete destruction of our constitutional republic.
They are opposed to the First Amendment, as has become very clear over the last few years.
They do not believe in your right to speak.
By the way, my companies have just filed suit against the federal government.
We have sued Homeland Security.
We have sued the Department of Defense.
We've named the State Department, we've named Google, Facebook, Twitter, we've named News Guard, and we've named overseas NGOs in our truly historic free speech lawsuit that lays out the entire roadmap of what we call the censorship industrial complex.
Which involves the federal government engaging in international censorship laundering operations through overseas NGOs, filtering that back into big tech in America to deplatform and censor people as requested by the government itself.
And of course, I've been targeted in that.
So that's just one example of how we know Democrats are at war with Democrats.
America, at least the foundation of America.
Of course, Democrats also hate the Second Amendment.
They despise it because they want the population disarmed while they themselves are surrounded by armed bodyguards, you know, to protect them from the people they're supposed to represent.
Yeah, okay.
Democrats are opposed to the Fourth Amendment.
They believe in mass government surveillance.
After all, how are they going to know who to censor if they don't surveil you and monitor your speech, you know?
They don't honor the Fifth Amendment.
They don't honor the Tenth Amendment or the Fourteenth Amendment or any number of others.
And for that reason, in my view, defeating Democrats is necessary for the survival of this constitutional republic.
And that's why this matters to me.
If Hong Kao had no baggage and could go into this election...
Without having this vulnerability that could be easy, sort of sniped at by the Democrats, I wouldn't have anything.
I wouldn't criticize him.
In fact, I'm not even criticizing him.
I don't have anything against Hong Kong's policies or positions on most issues.
What I'm saying is that he's too vulnerable.
And he's very unlikely in my assessment to be able to defeat Tim Kaine.
Whereas Jonathan Emord has no such baggage that I'm aware of.
And knowing the kind of person he is, he would not create an opportunity for the Democrats to come after him.
Because Jonathan Emord is a straight shooter.
He's meticulous.
I mean, absolutely meticulous.
You probably will not find a more detail-minded person running for the United States Senate.
I honestly, in all the years that I've known attorneys I've never known an attorney as detail-minded and as cognitively structured in his understanding of the complex layers of law as Jonathan Emord.
And so that counts for a lot.
In my mind, that makes him a lot more electable.
And more resilient to the attacks that will be leveled against whatever GOP candidate happens to be there.
Then again, you might say that I'm biased because I did donate to E-Mord's campaign.
And I did, but I donated last year.
Long before this story ever came up on anybody's radar.
Long, you know, long before any of this.
And I wouldn't be opposed to donating to Hong Kao if I thought he was the best candidate.
The one person I will not be donating to for sure is Tim Kaine.
So one more point in all this.
Max Fisher, his campaign website is maxfisherforvirginia.com, by the way.
He told me something that everybody else had mentioned in different ways, that Hongkau is a no-show most of the time at local events and grassroots events.
He's just not there.
He said, quote, the one person always absent was Hong Kao.
And not to say he wasn't as engaged, he just hasn't been around.
He says all these other candidates are putting in time and showing up at events, a lot more grassroots efforts.
But Hong Kao just wasn't there.
And Max Fisher told me, quote, any candidate that ran last year could tell you the same thing.
We didn't see any of the PAC money.
And he talks about the Hong Kao PAC, the Unleash America PAC, as well as the Spirit of Virginia PAC. But a lot of these Fairfax County and Northern Virginia candidates just didn't get any money at all.
And personally, I was very surprised to hear that because from these conversations, it sounded to me like just a couple thousand dollars could have really helped these people with yard signs or mailers or something, like a couple grand.
Are you kidding me?
Like, these campaigns, these people running for the state House of Delegates or the state Senate, they didn't have a couple grand coming their way?
I mean, I don't know about you, but, like, how is it that our United States Congress can approve $95 billion for Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan?
In other countries, all this money, just print more money.
Print trillions and distribute it all over the world.
Drop it from helicopters, you know?
Helicopter money.
But the pro-America people running for office in Northern Virginia can't even get a couple of grand from the GOP. You know?
I am just baffled to hear that.
Seriously.
I'm just blown away.
And Democrats have the money machine all nailed down.
You know, they have the federal government give all this grant money to these fake solar companies.
And the fake solar companies launder that and make a bunch of campaign donations to Democrat candidates.
And that's just one example.
All kinds of examples like this.
It's rather, you know, sickening.
Or...
A lot of this money goes into the union coffers collected as union dues, and then the unions support mostly Democrats, although that may be changing with Trump in play right now.
I think the union workers are becoming more pro-Trump.
But the Democrats have the money machine system nailed.
They're going to have more money than GOP candidates in almost every case.
So that means the GOP has to be smart about using that money.
They've got to be efficient, but they've also got to make a more compelling argument to local business leaders about why the GOP policies are critical for the success of your local business or your statewide business.
I mean, I'm a business owner.
I have multi-million dollar business operations in Texas and I pay attention to what the candidates are offering and I want low taxes and low regulation.
I want to be able to conduct business and create jobs and produce products that contribute to the betterment of lives and health of people in Texas and all over the country.
And I chose Central Texas because it's low regulation and low taxation.
And we have a governor, Greg Abbott, who is all in with low taxation.
We don't have a state income tax.
So in Virginia, it seems like it would be a very compelling message to a lot of business leaders to say, hey, you know, look, under the Democrats, you're going to have so much inflation and dollar devaluation because of the money printing.
Your entire supply chain is going to become less reliable and more expensive.
Your labor costs are going to skyrocket.
Regulation is going to continue to worsen for your industry, whatever industry you're in.
You're probably going to be harassed by the EPA at some point, no matter what you do.
Or you're going to be harassed by the FDA, or who knows who, or the FTC, the FCC, anything.
Whatever you're doing, you're going to get harassed under Democrats.
Whereas the GOP... At least, we would hope this is what they're doing.
The GOP is supposed to stand for smaller government, less regulation.
Still, you're not allowed to just dump poison into the river.
That's not what the GOP stands for.
They still want clean water.
But let's not terrorize every business with EPA bureaucrats showing up and shutting everything down because they found a puddle in the back of The back acre.
And it's like, oh, that's a wetland.
You know, I'm shutting it all down.
We saw a spotted horned frog back there or whatever.
Oh, my gosh.
We all deal with that insanity from time to time.
And I would think there's a lot of military industrial complex companies in Virginia.
You would think.
I'm sure there are, you know, given the geography and proximity to the naval bases and D.C. and everything else.
But You would think the GOP would have a very compelling pitch to the military companies like, hey, we're all pro-war.
By the way, I'm not pro-war.
I'm an anti-war person.
This is one of the policies in which I strongly disagree with the mainstream GOP. I'm like, get us out of Ukraine.
Get us out of the Middle East.
Get us out of these wars.
We don't want to go to war with China.
Are you kidding me?
Why don't we build a border wall Why don't we bring that money back home and invest in our own country?
But anyway, that's a whole different podcast.
But the pitch to the local military companies should be so easy.
It should be like, hey, vote for us.
We'll make sure there's more wars, and you're going to make a load of money.
That's an easy pitch if you're a pro-war candidate.
And by the way, half the Democrats are pro-war too, so that's not even a party line anymore.
It's like everybody wants war until it happens, and then everybody's like, oh, this is so awful.
Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't have started the war.
It's like when Russia starts nuking U.S. military bases in Europe, which seems to be right around the corner, I can see it now.
The corporate media in America is like, oh my gosh, unprovoked aggression from Russia.
These are crimes against humanity.
You have no idea what the U.S. has been doing, like sending F-16s that are nuclear-capable into the air to threaten Russia, allowing Ukraine to use all these long-range missiles that are striking targets deep within Russia, threatening Russia's very existence, violating the Minsk Accords and all the other agreements that said NATO would never expand eastward after the fall of the Berlin Wall and so on.
I mean, Oh my gosh, do journalists in America not have any knowledge of anything in the world at all?
I think they don't.
I think, and neither do many lawmakers, by the way, they're just like, let's just bomb the whole world!
You know, Senator Lindsey Graham, let's just bomb everything!
Bomb it all!
He thinks, because he thinks this is still like 1967, when America was the dominant naval power.
Look, I'm not going to get carried away on this topic.
You can tell I have a little bit of frustration about all of this.
But the reason I have this position is because I believe in the value of human lives.
Because I actually care about people.
And I don't want to see bloodshed.
I don't want to see suffering.
I don't want to see economic damage.
I believe in liberty, freedom, abundance.
I believe in American innovation, entrepreneurship, ingenuity, creativity.
And spirituality.
I have faith.
And I believe that faith is an important element of our culture.
And yet, I look around the world and I see so many people cheering for death and destruction and war and violence and suffering.
Yeah!
And I'm very disturbed by that.
And that's why politics matters, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, may he rest in peace.
Politics gets into everything.
And although there are people out there who say, well, I don't want to deal with politics.
Well, you're going to live with it.
You're going to live with the repercussions of politics.
Whether you are involved or not, you're dealing with it.
Politics affects everything.
Your freedoms, your speech, your economic conditions, interest rates, you know, home loans, food prices, inflation, war versus peace.
Politics affects everything.
And as I've said before, you know, stolen elections have consequences.
That's why we're all suffering so horribly under the Biden regime.
Because Biden, in my view, Biden was never elected by the American people.
Because even the people then could see that he's not qualified to be president.
And experience has proven that to be true.
So elections matter.
And stolen elections can be catastrophic for a nation.
Which is what we're experiencing right now.
That's why we have to correct this.
If we're going to get our constitutional republic back in order...
We have to.
We have to get involved with choosing the right candidates who have the right philosophies, voting them into office, and then holding their feet to the fire to demand that they do what they promised, which is so rare in Washington right now that it's almost a joke.
But if there's one person I know who will do what he promises to do, that's Jonathan Emore, just because I know his ethics, I know his behavior for over 10 years.
But I will hold his feet to the fire, too.
If he becomes the next United States Senator for Virginia, he will hear from me on a number of issues.
You know, as my own senators hear from me, I talk to Senator Ted Cruz's office.
Sometimes I'm not happy with Ted Cruz.
Other times, I'm thrilled.
Sometimes I'm happy with Governor Abbott, sometimes disgusted.
But that's democracy, folks.
That's democracy.
The people have a voice.
The people apply that voice to the candidates that they want to represent them, and then they try to hold those candidates accountable as much as possible and pray to God.
That we don't end up getting nuked from Russia or China because our US State Department is run by incompetent fools who don't even recognize the art of diplomacy.
It's gone.
They are not diplomats.
They are not statesmen or women.
They are fools.
And if we survive this regime right now, count our blessings, folks.
Count our blessings because we dodged a bullet worse than the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In any case, just to summarize this, I welcome comments and corrections.
If I've said anything that's not factually correct, I will make a good faith effort to correct it.
I'm approaching this story in good faith, in the interests of America as I see it.
And with the aim of, frankly, hoping that we can put forth the best candidate in Virginia to defeat Tim Kaine and help push the Senate more into the red, if that's even possible.
Did I ever tell you I had lunch with Gabby Giffords in Arizona, Congressman Giffords.
When I was living in Arizona...
I served on the Tucson Police Foundation and in a key board member role there to help advise local law enforcement.
And we had a lunch with Gabby Giffords.
This was, of course, before she was horrifically wounded by being shot.
And I believe I met her husband, who's now the senator.
But he was not the focus of the lunch.
I had lunch with Gabby Giffords and I was so impressed with her ability to speak Espanol because at the time I was learning Spanish and I noticed that she spoke it very well.
But the reason I even mention this is because I am not someone who judges people simply by the letter next to their name, Democrat or Republican or Independent or what have you.
I judge people by their character and their philosophies.
Now, sadly, Gabby Giffords, after she was horribly wounded, she has become, well, she and the people around her have become so aggressively anti-gun that That, of course, I could not possibly support her position today.
Now, you could argue that's understandable, given that she was shot by an armed assailant.
And thus, you know, her personal experience with firearms is very, obviously very negative.
I don't mean any disrespect by pointing that out.
But I'm open to any candidate from any party that has solutions for our constitutional republic.
At the same time, I absolutely will criticize or condemn those candidates who are engaged in the destruction of this great republic.
And I have been very vocal about that, and will continue to do so.
Which is one of the reasons why I'm blacklisted and banned, and was specifically named by the Department of Defense to be blacklisted.
Yeah, I'm one of the few Americans who's actually literally named by the Pentagon.
And other department, you know, government agencies to be silenced.
It's kind of like, you have to work hard to get that level of attention from the federal government, but somehow I achieved that.
And that just goes to show you how tyrannical and authoritarian our federal government has become.
And the reason it has become that way is because, of course, stolen elections and radical left-leaning Democrats and communists who absolutely want to destroy this nation.
So that's all I have to say about this topic today.
A lot of it's, you know, my own personal commentary, of course, on a variety of subjects.
But in my mind, this is all related to Again, I welcome any response from Mr.
Hung Kao's campaign.
I honor his military service, by the way.
I have nothing against Mr.
Kao personally.
I've never spoken with him, but would welcome the opportunity to do so.
I've not met him.
I haven't interviewed him.
But I wish him well in wherever this goes.
And I hope and pray to God that Either Mr.
Hongkau or Jonathan Emord can become the next United States Senator for Virginia.
I pray to God that Tim Kaine is defeated.
I pray to God that our republic is protected and restored.
And I thank you for joining me in this prayer for America.
God bless you all.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams of naturalnews.com and brighttown.com.
