hungary is the lone star state of europe.applause] the main difference between our countries is that unfortunately, the company is not paying corporate -- independence, freedom and sovereignty must be hungarians -- in the last hundred years. we vote for christianity in the middle and modern ages and the vote for christian democracy, and continue to fight to this day. we are a nation of 15 million and the hearts of europe with a unique language. someone once told me hungary was the official language and heaven because it takes an eternity to learn. just a slight exaggeration. that is probably enough to know about hungary. as for my -- you should know that i am an old-fashioned freedom fighter. [applause] i am also the longest serving prime minister in europe, the only anti-migration political leader on our continent, father of five and grandfather to five grandchildren. leader of a country under the siege of progressive liberals day by day. there are many things that the central european anti-communist, old-fashioned freedom f

it is not unique to hungary. all over the world, china is using leverage to buy support in countries like hungary. host: julie on the republican line. caller: good morning. i have to say that the caller before me ask the question i wanted to ask. my point right now is this. why is it not ok to be conservative? why is it not ok to think a man and woman should be able to create a child? why is it ok for this country's catholics to think abortion should be in the law forever? codify it, codify it. why is it long for we to have our opinion, and the left, their opinion whether wrong or right, it is what it is. who cares what we think? the other part i wanted to mention was that our president wants to codify abortion. he is supposedly a catholic. no matter how you look at this, ok, abortion is death. host: we talked about abortion in the previous segment. if you wanted to respond to some of her other comments. guest: i don't think it is a problem to be conservative. we should have debates about abortion laws and marria

. - and conducts negotiations with russia and hungary in order to to build on the territory of hungarynew storage facility to store gas purchased in russia, why do they teach this? what to supply russian gas to the republic of serbia, which is part of bosnia and herzegovina, and to neighboring states, that is, in bučac such a rative code is a superman that will provide the region with cheap gas, but at the same time , it is not known what the countries of the region will pay, and croatia is trying to give up russian gas, for this the capacity is increasing terminal, which is located on one of the islands, and it was announced that gas will simply be supplied to poland and other countries of the region through this terminal, that is, attempts are being made. moreover , here, in the context of green energy, aa countries are introducing alternative sources of energy, that is, some attempts are being made, but these are quite insignificant , so, well, if there were manifestations and efforts to give up russian gas, ms. kateryna, we will return to serbia in the context of the situation in k

larger gas supplies from russia are expected as early as september in in hungary, as the minister oforeign affairs of the country, pyotr siyarto, said, budapest will continue to buy fuel from moscow. why does hungary not stop doing business with the aggressor state and is it possible to change this policy? cereals , hygiene products, next goes to try on clothes, and it’s great, nothing, thank you, next, i’m completely fine, the center for helping ukrainian refugees has been working here since march 10, at the reception, too, ukrainian women, olga, a refugee from a woman from north donetsk was traveling through russia with her daughter and two cats. i once received help here, and then the girls posted that they needed a volunteer. at first, she helped online, made tables, reports from the first days of the war. hungary opened borders for refugees at each of the checkpoints, they set up places where medical aid and also helped with transport on february 4, hungarian prime minister viktor orbán condemned russia's attack on ukraine and immediately noted that the country would not interve

he headed the department of defense policy of the ministry of defense of hungary.dition to these duties, he was also responsible for the arms control mission in the donbass and crimea since 2014. having traveled to ukraine half a hundred times after 2014, we felt what the incidents actually are. against the hungarian community and i think that this is still a difficult relationship, reminiscent of the relationship between hungary and ukraine, which worsened after the law on education, which was adopted in ukraine in september 2017, ukraine's position on the right to smalchyn they did not violate it, on the contrary, hungary tried to create its own enclave with russia in zakarpattia, the expert says, there is no friendship in hungary, only business. we need gas, oil, our refineries are set to work with russian oil, if russian gas did not come in winter, there would be no heating in budapest. so for us it is a question of survival in the winter. thor's main opponent in the parliamentary elections in april. pater marquis believes that relations between the countries h

as yet my to do, they handle in hungary. we have been working for a long time to expand the existing pocket nuclear power plant with 2 new powerful units. what does this work has come to a new turning point? as hundreds, even thousands of permits are needed for the construction of a new nuclear power plant, thanks to 2 new nuclear unit, that we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp fluctuations and international energy market. we will therefore insure a policy of reducing utility costs, obtaining a construction license as a major milestone, a turning point, and that strengthens our hope that by 2030 the nuclear power plant will begin its activity at hotmail. so let's talk to george samuel eve senior research fellow for the global policy institute of london. now thank you so much for joining on the prize. i'm always a pleasure to see. and now george hungary, as we heard, is the issue, the license allowing russia to install these 2 nuclear generates is on its soil.

you studied the topic of relations between hungary and kyiv.t is your opinion, is it possible to change the political vector of budapest regarding ukraine good evening in the near future the coming years - this is unlikely to be possible because hungary depends on russia in terms of energy, i.e. 85% of gas 60 five 80% of oil the country will receive directly from russia and also the nuclear power industry of hungary is essentially now being managed by a project that will be implemented with the help of a dewy a-and for viktor urban, all these projects and this energy cooperation with russia are very important because uh, these cheap russian energy resources give him the opportunity to maintain a certain social state in the country, certain rates for households , for industry, and to win the vote of voters, the favor of business during elections , that is, to retain power, which he has been doing successfully for more than 12 years, and also that a-a in terms of relations a-a with ukraine, of course, should mention the hungarian minority, and th

it's very difficult to find true information in hungary. it's terrible.'s an absolute tragedy what russia is doing to ukrainians and unfortunately i think it won't last long. i think it's putin's war. he's a dictator. most russians don't support the war and are fleeing the country themselves, according to polls. 42% of hungarians believe that putin attacked ukraine because of the genocide of russians in ukraine. 45% do n't believe the differences that existed between the war pushed hungary and ukraine to the side, it froze them. hungary is friends with negotiations with russia regarding the supply of gas. hungary's only news on social media mikhail gorbachev, the first sole president of the ussr, died at the age of 92, radio svoboda reports. he was the last general secretary of the central committee of the cpsu and chairman of the presidium of the supreme soviet of the soviet union for the past three years. due to diabetes and kidney problems, the politician was constantly struggling in the central clinical hospital of moscow, mikhail gorbachev in 1090 be

and as far as i know, the most recent news is, comes from hungary, the hungary and oil company, m o l. is offering to pay for the transit instead of the rest of the trans sniffed. well, let us watch the developments. in the meanwhile, we see of the 3 central european nations, it's hungary check republic ounce law back here are not get into the oil that they critically need of hungary would stop paying those transit fees. how do you think that would go down with ukraine because he would, would not undermine what ukraine financially trying to do here and choking off some revenue for russia? no, i don't think so. for example, the great knows are working to transform to rush and guess across its territory or 2 european consumers, i guess. and this is the same method of this is the same attitude. there are demonstrated in the transit of russian oil to hunger is slow and the czech republic. and if they give the payment, i believe the ukraine will resume the transit. so somebody, ukraine does one this oil to be being transported to these, these countries. how can these countries do without t

and when i came back home, communism was over in hungary. it was a completely new and strange world. all troops must be withdrawn for important that everybody in hungary had great expectations about democracy and about changing to capitalism. and at that time, hungary was in the forefront of the changes the hungarian society created legislation. model type part is so a new parliament elected by the people and old, all the institutions of democracy were billed when the bon government came to power. in my view it margaret a sharp change. i would say it is much closer to dictatorship, where the exclusive only ideology is to retain power at whatever cost the you get a good deal. yeah. any type of when it gets to lindsey and he sent horner or not, or new load. i spell out your buffet as the social guide is asha, was an m ha ha. made the donato. we did as a frequency and got as if they get kind of i don't thing that victor or band could be voted out of power. no prices is high enough. just he wants to be in power. that is his only goal in life. th

and when i came back home, the communism was over in hungary. it was a completely new and strange world. all troops must be withdrawal for important that everybody in hungary had great expectations about democracy and about changing to capitalism. and at that time, hungary was in the forefront of the changes hungarian society created legislation model type artist. and new parliament elected by the people and old all the institutions of democracy were billed when the old bond government came to power. in my view it, margaret, a sharp change i would say it is much closer to dictatorship, where the exclusive only ideology is to retain power at whatever cost the oh yeah. not the deal. yeah. any of you know when, when, when he sent or not, or not, or no load. i spell out your buffet as he got his asha oz. and i'm on actually, as i see frequency as if they get and i don't thing that we all are bound to be voted out of power. no prices is high enough. just he wants to be in power. that is, he's only golden life. this is why i think he is so dangerous f

that is the kind of thing orbÁn did in hungary.s are using here extly mirror what orbÁn did in hungary. cover the racism and stay for the autocracy. i think that is what is in it for cpac. nermeen: you called him the "ultimate 21st century dictator." he himself refers to himself as a christian democrat. can you explain what the significance of this is and how it fits into the european tradition of christian democracy? i mean, most recently, terman chancellor angela merkel came from the christian democratic party. >> let me start with christian democracy. orbÁn's political party is associated european level with the european people's party which is the christian democratic party in europe that cancel mark a's party w -- angela merkel's party was also volved in. because it was in that european party, those people, includi especially angela merkel, have acquiesced in orbÁn's rise to power because they saw him as an ally. christian democracy is this incredibly useful cover for orbÁn because it gave him protection bause other christian

is now viktor orbán's hungary is ready to pay transit fees just to receive russian oil.day's statement by the mole that they will pay means transit through ukraine. it can mean just that, of course. the fact is that poland and germany and it will cease to function in the same way as when the e-e sanctions will be introduced in accordance with the sixth package, that is, from december, only hungary, slovakia, and the czech republic made an exception for themselves in this sixth package of sanctions and will continue to receive oil through the druzhba oil pipeline, this refers to the situation that is connected with the demand of hungary and is based on their statement that they cannot get oil anywhere else, in fact, this is not the case, even the odessa oil pipeline fords can deliver oil for the hungarians but for them it is fundamental because they probably have some special conditions that they do not want to lose and they continue to behave like a drug addict who sits on a needle and who does not want to give up his depending on the russian transneptsia e.e. stated tha

only hungary and slovakia turned out to be interested.iev no choice and paid for the transit themselves . who was the initiator of the situation with the suspension of russian oil supplies, ukraine ukraine has stopped oil supplies via the southern branch of the pipeline. and how did he realize his threat that something similar could be done by russia last month paid for the august transit of oil through ukrainian territory, but the kiev authorities did not accept payments, referring to the video sanctions, but sanctions against russia do not work most of all with the west. they damage countries like slovakia west totally suma right root of the war the current slovak authorities at the same time tried to alleviate the situation of the minister of economy. he confirmed the payment in the amount of about $ 10 million , and attributed the incident to the complexity of bank transfers arising in connection with anti-russian sanctions. so is the cessation of oil supplies through the pipeline. friendship happened through no fault of the ukrainian

and state institutions are obliged to protect the official charter of hungary. hungary shall protect the institution of marriage and the union of one man and one woman. family ties shall be based on the marriage or the relationship between parent and children. to sum up, the mother of is a woman, the father is a man, and leave our kids alone. full stop. end of discussion. [ cheers and applause ] >> my government is law and order without compromise. it decided we don't need more genders. we need more rangers. less drag queens and more chuck norris. >> boy, the autocratic prime minister of hungary sure knows his audience, christian heritage, no foreigners, more police, no gay marriage, no troons gender rights and apparently no drag queens and while you're at it, less democracy, because if you want a white christian nationalist government in society, representative democracy and pluralism doesn't really mix well with that. orban told the cpac conference that he and american conservatives should join forces but that is already happening. fox news tucker carlson is o

and hungary, 65 percent of the oil, it requires that consumers comes from russia in the doors. but by applying, i am not sure if they can get oil in the same well over the st in the same quantities from anywhere else there. as you're ready to go some solution, for example, there is a pipeline that goes across ukraine from the seaport, the link to that there was a pipeline. it could be used if for those 3 countries decide to buy oil from somewhere else. the problem is the existence of the russian, a navy in the black sea, which could be an obstacle to safe delivery of oil. do you agree? okay, recall critique and from re sanity thanks a lot. bring your insights on this story. the surely going to develop over the coming days. thank and in other business news now, the european union's emergency gas plant came into force on tuesday last, members to reduce their gas consumption by 15 percent in order to help fill gas storage and prepare for a possible full russian cutoff this winter. and president biden has signed a landmark bill that aims to make the u. s. competitive with china whe

>> well, you know, hungary is a small country. but what better things then to have tucker carlson gave his, give a whole week of his show over to you, and make you a showpiece. so, it's like a very good synergy that they have going. and so, you know, they are helping one another. they're giving each other legitimacy. that's very important to orban, so in fact, in the end, he said, we need to make agreements with the chinese, the russians and the americans. but it might be easier you know with republicans. now, we didn't mention trump. which is typically autocratic, because they're very opportunistic and transactional. he didn't mention trump at all at cpac, and he will make a deal with whoever he needs to keep that relationship going. it might be trump. it might not. >> ruth, as always, thank you for your time tonight. ruth ben-ghiat, professor of history at the new york university. she's an expert on authoritarianism. we always appreciate your time. >> up next, the issue that has republicans panicked about the midterms. stay with

if hungary would stop paying those transit fees. how do you think that would go down with ukraine because he would, would it not undermine what you kind of generally trying to do here and choking off some revenue for russia? no, i don't think so. for example, the great knows are working to transform the russian guess across its territory or 2 european consumers of guess. and this is the same methods of this the same attitude. there are demonstrated in the transit of russian oil to hunger is slow and the czech republic. and if they give the payment, i believe the greenhouse will resume the transit. so somebody, ukraine does one this oil to be being transported to these, these countries. how can these countries do without this oil? i mean they're, they're pretty dependent on russian oil, aren't they? that's a great problem because the slow back at, for example, 90 percent of oil it consumes comes from rice and most of it from this drug pipeline. and hungary, 65 percent of the oil, it requires that consumers comes from russia in the do

only hungary and slovakia turned out to be interested.ho left kiev no choice and paid for the transit themselves . who was the initiator of the situation with the suspension of russian oil supplies, ukraine ukraine has stopped on the article of oil on the southern branch of the pipeline. how did he realize his threat that something similar could be done by russia last month paid for the august oil transit through ukrainian territory to the kiev authorities did not accept payments, referring to the sanctions, the sanctions imposed by the west against russia do not work most of all. they cause damage to countries like slovakia. the current government of slovakia completely went crazy while trying to soften the situation minister of economy. he confirmed the payment in the amount of about $ 10 million , and wrote off what happened to the difficulties. with bank transfers arising in connection with anti-russian sanctions, in addition to the same cessation of oil supplies through the druzhba pipeline , it was not the fault of the ukrainian rus

hungary against the eu, hungary against its historic enemies and someone, and racism -- which is a bipartuslim people, etc. the u.s. version imuch more christian-focused, although, it looks to me some of the groups that were behind -- the muscle behind january 6 were not themselves christian organizations. seems to me these right wing been specially have a number of different strands in them, some of which are the religious right that would be all in on banning abortion, for example. some owhich would be all in it for the great replacement theory, which is the black and brown people shall not replace white people as governors of the state where white people have dominated. and some of it is this nationalism of our country first, we're sick of globalization, we are of being dependent, watching our jobs go to other countries, and someone. a mix of those strands in the u.s. and a mix of the anti-globalization strand and the white nationalism strain in hungy, but the christian democracy has not been the main thing goingn. nermeen:ho is the base for supporting orbÁn in hungary and the base yea

for example, if you are talking about slovakia, hungary, it is really about the russian mood, that isort for almost russian aggression against ukraine, they say it was fair justified or russia was provoked , anti-western sentiments are also visible in these countries. they often overlap and in the last two years have overlapped for the anti-briction movement, you can say so, and this is the only thing that distinguishes, for example, its region. well, here russia does not work so much through the eyes such well-known media with clear ownership there, it’s better to go there and the satellite is here. well, although there is a little about romania there, but there are such media whose ownership is very difficult to establish. that is, it is a gray zone media, i would so he said the second point, what is the problem of these countries, that here russian propaganda and russian assets meet from time to time, uh, there are state doctors, that is, in the public media of these countries. here is the second point, that these russian narratives are broadcast by national politicians, that is, i

it is not unique to hungary.the world, china is using leverage to buy support in countries like hungary. host: julie on the republican line. caller: good morning. i have to say that the caller before me ask the question i wanted to ask. my point right now is this. why is it not ok to be conservative? why is it not ok to think a man and woman should be able to create a child? why is it ok for this country's catholics to think abortion should be in the law forever? codify it, codify it. why is it long for we to have our opinion, and the left, their opinion whether wrong or right, it is what it is. who cares what we think? the other part i wanted to mention was that our president wants to codify abortion. he is supposedly a catholic. no matter how you look at this, ok, abortion is death. host: we talked about abortion in the previous segment. if you wanted to respond to some of her other comments. guest: i don't think it is a problem to be conservative. we should have debates about abortion laws and marriage. that i

remember, hungary approves the construction of 2 new nuclear react to the country by russia, with hungary foreign minister, praising thanks to these 2 nuclear units, we can insure hungary is energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population with very welcome to you. this is the international what the latest was news update is good to happy with. the ukrainian military has once again, i can find these offered osha nuclear power plants that's according to local russian backs. officials who say the shell anchors hit an area used to store radioactive waste. authorities have not reported any increase in radiation levels at the site so far, ortiz ramone, cancer. it has more call this upper orgy nuclear power plant is under constant bombardment by the ukrainian military. we just heard this friday that at least 4 shells, alarms it, and the zip erosion nuclear power plant in an area than houses as storage unit for the radio. radioactive isotopes, however, the local authorities are reporting that at this moment, there is no nuclear threats and there is no threat of a radioactiv

of hungary, now there are almost 600 people here, and in hungary in general according to the data ofonal institute of strategic studies, 490,000 ukrainians left, how do they live in one of the camps , felina bugaeva saw yuliya rosman, a refugee from berdyansk, the city was occupied in the first days of the full-scale invasion for more than a month yuliya, along with her two-year-old son david and her husband, did not leave berdyansk, she says it was scary to go out three it started with the fact that you need to get up and stand in line for bread or milk, or go to bang, because for a very long time the connection did not work, the terminals did not work, the banks did not work. there were no dream cards, there was no money, there was no possibility to pay with a card, that is, everything worked, definitely tangentially, it works until three o'clock in the afternoon, at first it says that the city was closed for departure, later paid carriers appeared on a bus with other women and children, yulia went through filtering camps , documents, things, phones were checked he says the most di

that is, everyone remembered that hungary was like that.t was the year 56, after all, it was some kind of post-war years. and somehow it passed by for europe. still, the history of czechoslovakia , it was louder, louder, probably because of that. that new times, some new thought. all this after the caribbean crisis, after the death of stalin there, the removal of khrushchev, and so on, that is, some such perversions were more visible to the western world, and therefore they reacted to czechoslovakia much more decisively, and perhaps this history was still preserved and in the 56th year, the consequences of yalta, the consequences of the division of europe, and the voice of the west, he was not as decisive as in the case of what is famous. huge student strikes, this is the coming to the streets of a huge number of people with protests, some kind of new generation appeared in europe, in paris, we remember huge stories related to everything in america a little later anti-war eyes against vietnam that is , it is the end of the 80s the beginning

but hungary has been granted exemptions from sanctions. it's allowed to keep receiving cheap russian oil . experts say the real reasons for the exploding prices came before the war. part of the inflation is the government to because the budget has spent too much or 2 years ago, and those were last year and this year in connection we did the election. there's been plenty of government spending an overpriced construction contracts that largely benefit government allies. the e u has withheld funds due to what it calls deficiencies and the rule of law that keep getting bigger in response, the government is introducing new taxes for small businesses. there have been days of protests and the government has been pushing for the e. u to release those funds with before the government takes surreal. convincing step, i don't think the european institutions are in a hurry to provide the money. and the more we wait, the higher is the cost of financing the budget deficit. here and give people fear that inflation will just keep on climbing, even if apric

what is the draw of hungary?we went there i think, quite honestly, they have a leader, viktor orban, who has been called "a more competent trump. steve bannon called him trump before trump," and he sort of created this conservative wonderland over there. he's been in power for 12 years, something i think trump would love to do >> seth: mm-hmm. >> he's used wedge issues to get people on board. right now, the lgbtq issues are something he's codified in the constitution, taking away rights from that community. he's starting to equate homosexuality to pedophilia. he's creating sort of a scare over there that's getting people out to the polls and what you start to see is, like, nationalism is starting to reign in hungary and i think conservatives in america look over there and they see somebody who has the power they want, is perhaps a smarter version of the man they had in charge and is able to put people in power in that country so that's much harder for them to get out of power. so, it sort of looks like what i thi

having declared hungary its independence, the ukrainians demonstrated to the whole world that their lands hungarian, not czech, not polish, but still ukrainian on the night after the declaration of the independence of carpathian ukraine, its president augustyn voloshyn was forced to leave khust. after a few years in prague, he was tracked down and kidnapped by soviet agents. as a bourgeois nationalist, he was taken to moscow and thrown into the lefortovo pre-trial detention center . gostin voloshyn was transferred to the hospital of the butyr prison within a week of his stay there, the 71-year-old priest, the president, unable to withstand the interrogations of the chekists, died, where he is buried is unknown to this day, without ukraine , it is impossible to destroy the soviet union. and this day came, my father and mother could not contain their happiness

we have been cooperating with hungary for many years. there are plans to expand that cooperation, making such a decision shows a high level of trust in our technologies and specialists who 2 of them need to know was little for the 1st time in recent history of russian nuclear power units are to be installed in a european union member nation with construction expected to begin as early as october. moscow in budapest share a long history of mutual cooperation and energy. and the hungarian foreign minister has that he sees the agreement as a turning point. ensuring his country's energy security. as it might do, they handle in hungary, we have been working for a long time to expand the existing pocket nuclear power plant with 2 new powerful units. what does a move like this work has come to a new turning point as hundreds, even thousands of permits are needed for the construction of a new nuclear power plant. thanks to 2 new nuclear unit. we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp

you can stream it it's called hungary versus soros. apparently the war in ukraine continues, draining our treasury. the ukrainians appear to be losing. nothing has gone as promised. yet the united states senate has decided to make things worse, to enmeasure the united states more deeply by voting to expand nato. only a single senator voted against nato expansion. he joins us straight ahead. >> tonight more from my visit to minneapolis. we'll speak to the seen this ad? it's not paid for by california tribes. it's paid for by the out of state gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn't tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print. loopholes. prop 27. they didn't write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves. >> tucker: so while you were sleeping, or living your life, your representatives in congress just

the petition of czechoslovakia by germany, poland and hungary, the beginning of world war 2. having realized danger in march 1939 and the soviet union proposed an anti fascist alliance to western countries. this i've been trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler into czechoslovakia. but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1939. when the soviet proposed in elias britain and france against hitler, it had been actually throughout the they late last half of the 19 thirty's that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stop hitler, we could have prevented the holocaust. we could have prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and knew he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west was hoping in many all elements in the west. we're hoping that he was just going to go east and so in the thirty's, the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. i a so what we've got to do is identify the threats t
