and i don't think that hungary until it up to you, i can talk these resolution. if the tend to be in there was, it was a, there should be a resolution must be supported by all the members sides of the european union is through private is the robot to be. so my problem, any sort of from slovakia, he said it's a very openly that he kind of offset the resolution of the european union. and we dial the the beat out the chance to have a beast and cease fire and the nationally in terms of the lucky out to be for the field for the field. so i'm not sure how it you'll be tomorrow, but what can i tell you? is that uh if you're on the cross roads are really in the turning point of history . and the european union is the only, i mean, the, the western countries of the european union together maybe it's kind of the australia to countries in the world. but very, very few countries in the world of the countries which wants to continuation of the war field, the last ukranian box. this is not our science. we want to really to, to stop this black black box. and that's why i'm sure

. >> is, especially whether these usual spoilers hungary, hungary's. >> viktor orban. >> or potentiallyakia. >> whether whether these two countries, for example, will be on board. so now we have moved along with, with with germany with this new announcement of going along with the with the. looser fiscal rules. but the question is whether, for example, orban will drop his resistance. >> to this 20. >> billion package that is allegedly in the works in military aid for ukraine, for example. and of course, commission president ursula von der leyen. made this big proposal just two days ago. and the question is whether, whether the european. countries can get approval for this this fast. so already. >> tomorrow. >> how critical is it that we get buy in from all 27 member states? can the onus shift to individual nations? >> i think. >> that all options are being explored. >> right now. >> because obviously these constant hold ups that hungary, for example, has been causing are really stalling the process. the eu was recently able to agree on the latest. sanctions package on russia, just in ti

ormonde in hungary, the principal exemplary. we know hungary, also a nato member, part of the eu and very complex set of relationships. we know countries like turkey, sensible allies, turkey has been a good ally in some ways in nato historically. as well as countries that have a more intense or even hostile relationship with the u.s., and even friendly countries. every foreign national that you deal with is an intelligence risk. their nations all want something from the united states. so in that environment, to have enforcement action where we are trying to cut off in the adams prosecution, establish accountability for an american official. in my judgment, the evidence was quite strong. to see this unraveling where you have ended quid pro quo that are alleged. not only that adams did favors for turkey and the accountability as that is the front end, the basis of the prosecution. then we flip around to the backend where an extremely conservative interim united states attorney, former law clerk, one of the pillars, the idols of th

now hungary, um is dependent on this uh, gas. so obviously, i mean we've had this from the farm and as the see out there with uh, this from our bank. so be also is dependent on those guys. but those are slow. hockey has now become depends on this because slovakia was um over the recipient of gas um through ukraine up until january the 1st and by so back date has been in crisis. uh since uh, january the 1st. now did you see anything in the timing of this at top right now being that because sides with zaleski is disastrous, a trip to washington, and now he's in london as well i, i don't, i don't see dimensions. i mean, maybe there is, but this is a part of an ongoing effort on the part of the ukraine to essentially prevent bull gas lows from russia into europe. so there's, i mean, he's a, he did this back in january. and, and that is, is made these attacks only the, c, b, c, the, the, the, of the caspian, a pipeline, a consortium. so this is all part of the ukraine's attempt to um, the executive sabotage of the, the, in the flow of

has consistently acted like the grown up in the room from the very beginning of from february 22 on hungary has urge the peace hungry has urged the europeans to go out and try and work something out with the president . putin and hungry has refused to go along with the, the transfer of a more material through its country. it said that they will not contribute anything to the ukraine's arsenal and will not allow it's their true to be useful. all of us do a transfer will materials to your grades. so hungry has also been very much opposed to the use sanctions regime. every time the you brings full with in other around the science of hungry is always subject that so long before trump return to power hungry has been absolutely in the forefront of opposition to this war. yeah, we saw budapest blocks that propose 20000000 euro military aid package to key. if the, if all the unions states aren't on the same page about ukraine, why is brussels even pushing these collective packages? well, i think what the accounting on is that they will be able to apply pressure on hungry . they've done that before.

but say that you could still find a way to move forward, even in the face of hungary opposition, but forming a coalition of billing nations on certain decisions, such as sending a degree as well as on the proposal to send your being troops to police a few jump b steel between your green and russia. that mean many instances also in the euro, crosses where europe. and so i've been able to go ahead in smaller groups rather than the framework. so one way to look at it is to say that the use of binding it's consensus approach. and other way to look at it is to say that the eu has always been very flexible in the face of the us as new foreign policy. there is a sense of urgency in europe to ramp up its defense. but have some member states refused to participate. others outside the block can be brought in as partners. no, we and canada were present at the conference posted by known e. you need to remember the u. k. y is hungry, and sla kabbage is also seen as being soft and russia were left out for your up. it's a bio dime ship and it's going to be a massive undertaking. there are no illusi

and now with washington, looking to not let them are zalinski down a peg. hungary is saying, peace talks must become a priority. the administration of us president donald trump suspended american ministry, a to ukraine. the positions of the us president and the hon. gary and government align instead of supplying weapons. and continuing the war, we must achieve a ceasefire. and begin peace negotiations as soon as possible. i, as the a debate hits up with washington hitting pause and you're allowing it to boost to support. a new poll reveals equally divided sentiment among the public law. a slight majority of respondents from various european countries believe more funds should flow. the key of that enthusiasm takes a nose dive when they're asked if it's their country that should fit the bill. senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george send me while i use a 0, expects washington to pick up the slack. well hungry is the one country that has consistently acted like the grown up in the room from the very beginning of from february 22 on hungary has urge the peace hungry has

of some kind of classic probably which would include many in my mind states such as russia such as hungary actually such as soon to be or because it has why the implication. and you also can't help to see about the implications, certainly politically or militarily, but what it's about when it comes to the piece that has existed now of food decades because of the will, between subs and both ends. and of course, who you know, you have some muslims as well. um, well, cuz that could have implications on a social level as well. is absolutely, it's because of the political rhetoric that you want to, but it keeps using it is in line with the rhetoric that is used by or while by donald trump, by if i find such of these precious rights to me, qualifications the thought of that sort of gaining ground side, the west and point 6, and he's use know to be honest with me. so he occasionally what he does the, the north, the general society he's is insulting the swim. so uh, is that what he's trying to do basically is trying to create some kind of cultural and i the watch flash between the muslims and the

they would rather continue the war as long as it takes hungary position, remain the same today as it has for the past 3 years. we believe that there is no solution on the battlefield and support the u. s. peace plan. oh, brussels rushed to raleigh support to keep the world going off to the us to spend that is military 8 shipments and intelligent sharing with ukraine. i'll tell you that sounds good as having looked into how the long running fantasy of vanquishing russia has become an obsession. for some europeans in europe is graves like one who can really play much. i'll throw lit, have sought to ground tugs graciously, feed is not a bad thing because then you know, that could be really a change in, in the, in the society. and, and, you know, there are many different nations the right now part the russia as well. i think if you would have a more like small nations it's, it's not a bad thing. give you, if it's a big bower is actually much a smaller, and our tv star is showing up and stuff, but it will snatch this historic john stuff. finally, chromecast, russia. they haven't been misp

so it has created a coalition of the willing to prevent any one country like hungary from applying the brakes on ukraine support. this is increasingly difficult and that's why we have on the new initiatives so, so considered a violation of the willing a. so that one country comstock that everybody else, we are still striving for having the unique c, l. 27 members. and if that's not possible, then i mean hungry can speak for themselves. well, coalition of the willing was a battle pri use during the us led invasion of a rock 2 decades ago. it's made a come back with the u. k. and france leading the charge as they posed the bombshell plan to deploy european troops to ukraine. the countries were also intent on sending another 20000000000 euros and military aid. the key of a book arrest blocks, the proposed package, repeating its on the side of peace. unlike the rest of your, of the law must cuz those settlements claiming a leader is just want to keep the complex going. we spoke with a story in politics expert john lochlund, who says european leadership keeps the pro war, rhetoric flowing b

moreover, some european countries like slovakia, hungary, actually openly say that they are the president the country that has attacked ukraine and killed thousands of ukrainians. so i think that this contrast, this very strong feeling of injustice in us. the whole situation, where we have been basically punished. we have been accused of not wanting peace while nothing has been said about russia. we have been forced into the deal, the conditions of which are unclear, and the president was basically humility the in the oval —— was basically humiliated in the oval office. that was a very emotional moment for all of us. trump accusing _ moment for all of us. trump accusing zelensky _ moment for all of us. trump accusing zelensky of - moment for all of us. trump i accusing zelensky of gambling with world war iii. do you think he is right? if with world war iii. do you think he is right?- with world war iii. do you think he is right? if there is any nation _ think he is right? if there is any nation in _ think he is right? if there is any nation in the _ think he is right? if there is any nati

in 1966 he didn't stop the ussr from taking hungary and we didn't get involved when they took czechoslovakia in '48 and when the soviet union crushed the prague spring in 1968. it was ugly it's ridiculous to think that and they were bogged down and dying in the vietnam war and it was worth that nixon ultimately had to and. did this mean he was pro-north vietnamese? of course not. reagan pulled out of lebanon after 241 u.s. service members were slaughtered there. was that weak? or was it brag matted particular. neither donald trump nor his supporters are rooting for portsmouth. but they see the world as it is. not as some fantasy created by those who profit off blood shed legacy media rally they used to be for peace but no longer. but they are going to rally against trump no matter how reasonable his position is. >> some of the republican allies are puzzled by the steps that president trump has taken to placket vladimir putin. i want to bring up a post lisa murkowski. >> which ones? >> let me show the only thing we've done is say are you willing to talk about not naive. he knows what putin is

why it was former usaid administrator samantha power visiting hungary for the purpose of strengtheningc institutions went hungry as the country that strongly democratic and members of the eu and nato. white was usaid company finding joint programs with george soros open society to promote radical social agendas throughout the developing world. involved in the canceling and romaine it was usaid funding court changes in albania that resultedcu in the prosecution of the albanian opposition leader. why is usaid funding censorship laws in brazil why is usaid involved in funding the civil war? what we have learned here today is usaid has been used as a tool by democrats to brainwash the worldag was a globalist propagaa regime changes around the world. but, if usaid funded terrorism that resulted in the death of americans, then this committee will be making criminal referral. lastly, if this is the funding that has come from that usaid, the united states agency for internationalfo development nees to be abolished. with that and without objection allbe members have five legislative days within

you can look at turkey, hungary, a pressure it -- russia with putin taking over. to get elected. once elected, to crush the system of checks and balances and replace them with what we call the rolligarchy. you have to decide the world you want to live in. you have to decide whether rule of law exists. you cannot normalize impunity. and if you don't, over time, we normalize that and you lose more and more of your rights. here is a positive note. rodrigo duterte's term ended. he tried to extend and if the military had supported them -- him, perhaps i would not be here. but we now have another president. and the 10 criminal cases i've had, i've won eight of the tent. i still have to ask the supreme court for approval to travel but we are here. it is alarming to see it happening all over again. amna: we should point out that the majority of americans say they do not trust the media right now. we have seen a decline in that trust over years and many like to see the president go after the press in the way that he does. they will hear this conversation and say good, i'm

because people like my grandparents that come from libya and hungary and poland, different backgrounds and different languages, to come together to accomplish this incredible task of putting a country together, they knew they had to make the most out of human capability and do that through the service. the service ignores everything that happens up until the age of 18 and based on your merit reassesses you. i tested at 18 thinking i was incompetent and tested extremely highly. that changed my life and lead to a very successful service and the reason that is important is because 15 years later i am at 33-year-old already with gray hair, winter internet bridgewater. it is me and six other hung over dartmouth 20-year-olds. my english is not great. i am out of context and it is pretty confusing. to say i feel lost is not the beginning of it. i am at an organization that is trying to make the most in a mirror tonic -- in americredit -- in a meritocratic way. luck matters. i was lucky to be in a society that i got a second shot in the service. the second thing is back to the ai point you tal

there is a dictator's playbook, and you can look first at russia, actually, even before that, turkey, hungaryright, with putin taking office. and the first step is really to get elected, once you're elected, to crush the systems of checks and balances, and then replace them with your own -- we're starting to call them the broligarchy, because it's far more potent, the tech guys are more potent than just normal oligarchies. this is political largess, political patronage. you have to decide the world you want to live in. you have to decide whether rule of law exists. you cannot normalize impunity. and if you don't, over time, we normalize that and you lose more and more of your rights. but here's a positive note. rodrigo duterte's term ended. he had one six-year term. he did try to extend. and perhaps if the military had supported him, i wouldn't be here. but we now have another president and those 10 criminal cases that i have had, i have now won eight of those 10 and two left. i still have to ask the supreme court for approval to travel, but we're here. it's alarming to see it happening all o
