You may not live in Delaware, but isn’t a good candidate from any state worth supporting? This single mother of ten is a small business owner, a military veteran, and a common-sense conservative. Her opponent is a trans woman who is raking in donations from activists who care only about her identity.

Actor Nick Searcy: “The War on Truth” Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

You may know Nick Searcy from “The Shape of Water,” or the FX series, “Justified.” He has also produced multiple films, including “The War on Truth.” Michele had been agnostic about the events of January 6th, but after taking the time to watch this film, she was left with a myriad of questions… some of them alarming. Join her as she discusses this film with Searcy, who was at the Capitol on J6. Are you open minded enough to hear another perspective?

Show notes

Retired Navy Captain Hung Cao came to the United States as a refugee from Vietnam in 1975. He was commissioned as a Special Operations Officer (Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Deep Sea Diving) from the United States Naval Academy, and served with special operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. He also balanced the Navy’s $140 billion budget at the Pentagon, working with Homeland Security, and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. Hung received his Masters degree in physics from the Naval Postgraduate School, and fellowships at MIT and Harvard. He and his wife April are the parents of five children. Is this enough to win him the U.S. Senate seat in Virginia, where he’s facing Democrat Tim Kaine?

His work has earned him multiple Emmy Awards, but it’s the intrinsic value of the storytelling that motivates him.
