he praised victor orban. listen to how he framed it and let's talk about it on the other side. >> there's a great man -- a great leader in europe, victor orban. he is the prime minister of hungary. he is a very great leader. very strong man. some people don't like him because he is too strong. it's nice to have a strong man running your country. >> he says it's nice to have a strong man running your country. >> the only surprise -- i think the only bright spot in there is that he chose victor aorban instead of vladimir putin. people forget, we keep coming back to this over and over again about we are shocked that last night he had good things to say about victor orban. for six years, he has nothing but great things to say about vladimir putin and xi jinping. victor orban is almost a relief compared to some of the people he has spoken well. he is telegraphing it over and over and over again. people just -- a lot of people in the republican party and what's left of the establishment, they just refuse to believe

victor orban. he's the prime minister of hungary. he's a very great leader, very strong man. some people don't like him because he's too strong. it's nice to have a strong man running your country. >> nice to have a strong man running your country. those prognosticators would not have had victor orban a trump speech bingo card, but this is trump's argument in what may his last single contested primary to the march nomination. he's not asking anyone in new hampshire to vote for him despite his belief he should exist outside the law and the united states should be run more like a dictatorship. rather he's asking new hampshire voters to cast their ballots for him because of those things. that's his strategy, his message. you may not like it, i understand, believe me. but clearly a lot of people do like it. even in new hampshire the state where donald trump is getting his worst polling numbers of any republican primary. the state famously full of independent voters who liked to buck convention. it's the live free or die state, after all. so they like to keep things interesting. a

listen to this. >> there's a great man, a great leader in europe, victor orban. he's the prime minister of hungary. he's a very great leader, very strong man. some people don't like him because he's too strong. it's nice to have a strong man running your country. and trump went on to use orban to praise himself. but who do you think is looking forward to the possibility of another four years of trump? >> you're right about putin, of course, because if the ukrainians are going to be cut off from the most powerful country that's provided them all the military support, that's a great thing for putin. he's probably the single leader that's most excited about the idea of trump coming in. but, you're right, victor orban, and also a number of the european movements, not in power yet, but gaining political strength across europe, who are anti-european union themselves. so, of course, i'm talking about marine la penn and her party that right now is out performing macron's own in france. i'm thinking of the alternatives for deutscheland in germany, routinely polling at 20,

, wouldn't it be nice to have a strong man here in america like they have over in hungary with victor orban. maybe donald trump doesn't see himself not running. >> he said that. he talked about two terms. you know, it's a hard thing to sort of admit and say out loud. this party that i worked in for almost 30 years isn't a traditional american political party anymore. it's an autocratic movement. that's what it is. there's really only one pro-democracy party in america. that's the democratic party. nothing else matters. all of this stuff we used to fight about, like what's should the capital gains tax be or any of this stuff, it's meaningless now. this election really is going to be the most important election, certainly of our lifetime and probably since 1860. donald trump is winning and running away with this because he is what the republican party wants to be. he is giving them the most unfiltered, distilled form of what they want. they want a strong man. trump is saying it. you read and listen to people who have studied strong men, they say, they tell you what they're going to do. it's n

who wants to be victor orban, a man who could touch your relatives private parts and get away with it. a man who doesn't like veterans who died in combat. i am a veteran. he is disgusting and we want to put him in office? it baffles me how americans think about this man. and tim scott, i am embarrassed. if you want this kind of man i guess this is what we will get. i hope america wakes up and sees what is coming for us. we don't need another four years of this. host: debbie is next, a republican from massachusetts. caller: good morning, this is debbie. the love for joe biden and they don't see the wrong in him that they see it all and donald trump. use take what is good for each one. you don't constantly condemn someone because you don't like him. no one is condemning by then even though they don't agree with him. but with trump they have given them so much publicity, it's unbelievable. it is getting ridiculous. host: randy in louisiana, and independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have never seen so many useful idiots calling and bashing trump . if he is evil he is the le

weekend called putin and kim jong-un very fine people when he attacked nikki haley and he called victor orban, this is a strong man. >> and you hear haley responding to some of the comments as well. saying that the president was too close to some of those leaders. this reminds me a little bit of of the last midterms. when the president -- the former president continued to talk about the 2020 election, trying to debate it as well. and would you hear increasingly from republicans who were saying, you have issues that are current and relevant right now in front of the current white house. you have immigration, you have the economy but instead you still hear a closing argument where you expressed his grievances and embrace victimhood at this point. >> and just before we go to break here, desantis, here he canceled two sunday show appearances, saying it was a scheduling conflictm and they'r not spending my money in new hampshire. how does he stay in this race. the poll had him at 6%, if he gets trounced on tuesday and then wait another month until south carolina. >> thats a good question. how he s

eye-popping closing message for new hampshire voters, praising hungary's authoritarian leader, victor orban>> some people don't like him because he's too strong. it's nice to have a strong man running your country. >> and arguing he delivers complete presidential immunity. >> you've got the rogue cop, the bad apple, and perhaps you'll have that also with president. but there's nothing you can do about that. you're going to have to give president -- you're going to have to allow a president, any president, to have immunity. >> now to be clear, that is not an unusual message for donald trump. and our new poll shows he is still deeply popular with many in his party. cnn political director david chalian is at the magic wall to break it all down for us. david, what did we learn? >> good morning, dana. this brand-new poll from cnn and the university of new hampshire, just two days out now, shows you donald trump with a pretty substantial lead in this new hampshire republican primary. 50% of likely republican primary voters say they're supporting trump to hailey's 39%, to desantis all the way back

"the new york times" reports that prior to yesterday's vote in turkey, victor orban signaled that hungarymay seek concessions for its support as he invited sweden's pri minister to negotiate over the country's. turkey seems like it's finally about to approve sweden but hungary still remains an outlier at least for now now. >>> next up we'll switch to sports and a surprising coaching change for one of the top teams up the nba. plus we'll tell you who's headed to cooperstown this summer. baseball's hall of fame announced its newest members. that's all straight ahead. nouncs that's all straight ahead. here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. >>> deep three. johnson again. >> michi johnson's logo three capped south carolina's upset victory last night over sixth ranked kentucky. holding the nation's top scoring team to its lowest output of the season in a 79-62 win at home marking the third consecutive loss at south carolina for

victor orban -- >> martha: a controversial char character. >> he's tough, he's smart. of hungary. they asked him the other day, what is going on? the whole world is collapsing. the middle east and what's going on over the last two days with yemen. he said bring trump back. when trump was here, everybody was afraid of him. i don't want to use that word "afraid" but that's the word he used. china was afraid of him. russia was afraid of him. everybody. i ended the russia pipeline. you never heard of north stream two until i came along. i terminated it. for some reason, biden allowed it to be built. we have a man that is grossly incompetent and we have to win this next election or we won't have a country left. >> martha: do you think biden will drop out? >> personally? i think so. i think so. >> martha: all right. so we've got breaking news from the supreme court that has just crossed involving the standoff between the biden administration and texas over razor wire fencing at the border. we'll show you what is happening next. my name's cody archie. and i'm erica. cody: and

. >> martha: victor orban. anybody hear of him? one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. he's the leader of turkey? sioux falls. thanks very much, sioux falls. >> we all make mistakes under pressure like that. julia, the one thing that nikki haley was pouncing on in my last interview with her is the mistaking her for nancy pelosi and january 6 and all that, that this is what you get when you get two 80-year-old guys going at it. president trump is 77. what did you make of that? >> yeah, look, with john bolton, i think there's a perception among voters that he seems older than donald trump. he's older than donald trump by a few years. i think he acts older. it's easier to pull the clips if you go after joe biden to draw that contrast. donald trump at least from a public facing view still appears to have a lot of energy. yes, he's mixed up those names in those comments. it was easy for nikki haley to pounce on that. but i think it works -- probably a better strategy with joe biden. i think it's fair to ask, you know, donald trump would be 80 if he were elected president. so

never heard the names of these countries and there's a great leader in my opinion very strong, victor orban the prime minister of hungary and i said what would you do? he said i would make sure people vote for president trump. president xi is a tough cookie but i think they did fear us and china feared him. russia. i got along with kim jong-un. peace through strength. they don't want to mess around. it would have never happened in ukraine. russia would have never gone in. it would never happened the recent attack on israel. never would have happened. the zero chance it was going to happen. they see a weak president in our country and they did something that was unthinkable so we are going to have peace through strength. we're not going to have to fight w. that being said, you always have to be repaired and i built our entire military. biden gave $85 billion of our military to afghanistan so stupidly brand new tanks and planes and everything. 700,000 rifles and guns, 70,000 vehicles, many of them armor plated vehicles and bid the way, people died, 13 great soldiers died. i've gotten to know

. >> there is this guy, victor orban, he's great, i'll be like him. >> at every stump speech. >> didn'tnee and we're off to the races. this is your chance to decide who we're going to be. >> so there is some history to that. hillary clinton sort of used that same argument against barack obama in 2016. i would say barnacle summed it up best, it is a good presentation, but not a rousing one. i think back to the vibes, the people here want to be inspired to support a candidate, not just compelled to vote against another candidate. i think that will be her undoing. >> jen, what are you expecting to see tonight? can nikki haley pull off a miracle? >> it depends how you define a miracle. should she stay in and be pummeled in her home state? the question is kind of what does she do? that's the big question to me. >> jen's coverage, 4:00 today, 4:00 to 6:00 and late night, i'm told, with guest sam stein. >> yes. >> we'll be there. we'll get you some coffee. >> 4:00 and late night for special coverage of the new hampshire primary. that does it for us this morning from manchester. ana cabrera pic

victor's new match is at stake orban against 26.an prime minister vetoed support for ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros by the twenty-seventh year, including 17 billion in subsidies. since then, discussions have stalled and hungary is under enormous pressure. we decided to make a compromise offer. we do not agree to change the budget. we do not agree that we should allocate 50 billion euros - this is a huge amount, we do not agree that we should provide it for 4 years, oh well, hungary is ready to participate in the decision of twenty "seven, if it is guaranteed that we will decide every year whether to continue sending this money or not, and this annual decision must have the same legal basis as today, it must be unanimous," orbán said. at the same time, he expressed regret that some countries interpret budapest’s position as a means of annual blackmail. our position is that speech. unity of the european union. if you force someone to be part of something they don't like, something they have a right not to participate in, th
