cold, awake not woke. what more can you tell us about it? right, so you know, or hill, i'm really in a hall where many vendors offer, there are things, are you fine t shirts, you find 10 different cups, you find purses shaped in holsters and you know, people are here to come together and be together with like minded americans and on the surface it seems to be really happy. many are wearing costumes when you're talk to them. it's nice until you start talking politics. and then you feel underneath the surface there's really a lot of anger and definitely the willingness to fight for an america they think is the right american. this is what meant what is meant with aware, be aware to actually really go and fired for that. what you think is right now, one of the special guests invited to speak is fall right. hungarian leader,

victor albany, who just held his speech with a title. how we fight left, listened to some of what he had to say. you should know that i am an old fashioned freedom fighter. i'm also the longest serving prime minister in europe. the only anti migration political leader on our continent. a father of 5 and grandfather at $25.00 grandchildren, the leader of the country. that is under the siege of progressive liberals day by day. now, despite or been being quite isolated in europe, he seems to have quite the support base there in the united states. what is inviting or been conscious about how the far right among us conservatives are at this point. ah,

it's interesting that you talk about his isolation. he actually addressed ed fake by saying being here in texas, which is the loan stars stage, the one star lonestar stadium, the united states. he says, i'm the lone star in europe. our. he got a lot of applause for his remarks on immigration and that he doesn't want any non european in his country. he got a lot of applause when he talked about family saying that only a father and a mother or i can have a family, definitely being anti gay, anti l g b g q in bed remarks, or he's not a nubian to see peg seabeck just hold as conference some months ago in hungary, so he totally a kind of agrees with the, with the core values. most of those who attend this meeting here have and what is also really interesting or what was interesting to listen that he basically really said we have to join forces, read the hungarian with you,

the americans to fight for our well use against the progressives against the liberals and another key as speech will be coming from that former us president donald trump, what a we expected to hear from him and also how much influence has he had over the republican party when you walk the halls here? i mean, there are trumpets everywhere or there are papers, stages of whom there are cops there are heads. he still really holds a strong grip on this branch of the republican party, which is important. the conservative french there are rumors that he might announce or that he is running for president, that he made him outside on his speech on saturday. what you definitely will do. he will say that the election was stolen from him, the last presidential election election. and he definitely also, i will talk a poorly about president biden and stressing the fact that he is too old. i to really fulfill the task of

a president. so that is what we're gonna hear from him probably. or that is a t w's. washington bureau chief in his poll in dallas, thank you so much. no rush and caught her sentenced us boss bull star, brittany griner to 9 years in prison, full drug possession and smuggling. she was convicted of carrying cannabis oil into russia. the white house says griner was wrongfully detained and was calling for her release. britney griner entered the cramped court room and defendant cell, hoping the sentencing judge would be lenient that the judge would consider that greiner admitted her mistake, but had accidentally packed cannabis oil prescribed by her doctor and legal in the us. yon. i never miss her even to put in jeopardy ref population. i never miss break any laws may have honestly
