I can't begin to guess how many campaign ads I've seen during this general election cycle, but I can say this: Virginian Republican Senate candidate and Navy combat veteran Hung Cao's new ad is by far the most riveting I've seen. And "what's at stake" couldn't be more chillingly spot on.
In dramatic fashion — as opposed to the Democrats' dishonest melodramatic ads — Cao vividly recounts how his family fled Saigon for a better life in America as Communist North Vietnamese forces stormed the South Vietnamese capital and took over the country.
To paraphrase filmmaker and conservative influencer Mike Cernovich, this is my favorite political ad of the election cycle. Cao laid out in detail, along with powerful video clips, what Americans risk losing if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz — unquestionably the most radical presidential ticket in American history — win in November.
In the ad, which begins with Cao pounding his fist on a table with three powerful knocks, the conservative Republican candidate says:
This is the scariest sound you'll 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.
This is the sound of losing your freedom. The sound of 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 were given a new life in the most generous country on earth. America saved my life. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, earning a Masters in physics and earning fellowships from MIT and Harvard before the left replaced merit with racial quotas.
I've spent my life trying to repay my debt to America. My country. Our country. With 25 years of service in Navy Special Operations, combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia.
But now our country has taken a dark turn," Cao continued, as he painted a stark picture of the reality of America under a Biden-Harris regime.

Speaking of serial liar Tim Walz, serial-lying Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, Cao in early August posted several comments on X about the radical-leftist Minnesota governor.
I have tried to take my time in responding to stories about Tim Walz's service record. The hypocrisy astounds me.
Because I am a Trump supporter & running against a liberal career politician, a so-called Pentagon correspondent asked me to provide documented evidence of every time I had been outside the wire on a deployment & every time I received incoming enemy fire.
I was asked to provide my medical records & grilled about why my brain injury didn't earn me a Purple Heart. Contrast this with Tim Walz, whose entire political career appears to be based on a lie: that he served in Iraq when he did not.
He exaggerated his rank. In an effort to disarm law abiding Americans he implied he had seen combat when he never did.
All I know for sure is, when I was deployed to Iraq, I never saw Tim Walz there.
In the Navy we used to talk about something called "pulling a deployment muscle." It seems to me that Tim Walz might have suffered just that.
While it upsets me to read how Walz abandoned his unit before the deployment, it frankly upsets me more that this man spent 20 years as a candidate and in elected office, now seeking the Vice Presidency of the United States, and no one in the media asked him before or since any simple question like:
You were supposed to deploy to Iraq, but you quit so you didn't have to go, and then implied for years that you did. Why?
The truth is: we all know the answer. And it is disqualifying for future service as our Vice President.
Needless to say, Tim "Stolen Valor" Walz was unavailable for comment.
