As a nation with an ancient history and unique language, we Hungarians are proud to have maintained our culture for over a thousand years. Our patriotism and Christian values may not align with mainstream Western political thinking, but they are deeply ingrained in our society. While I may not be a favorite among liberals, Hungary prioritizes family, nation, and God over individual ego. We face criticism from the West because we offer a different, more traditional interpretation of society, challenging the exclusivity of liberal ideologies. Despite potential dangers, we remain strong and resilient. While we seek rational relations with everyone, accusations of being a puppet are baseless, especially given our history with Russia. We believe that Europe needs Russian involvement in its security architecture.

Hungary chose to defend its borders during the 2015 migration crisis, a stance that clashed with the EU's open-door policy. We believed it was our right and duty to protect our nation, culture, and traditions. Many European nations are experimenting with post-Christian, post-national societies, which we see as risky. Despite being labeled a "totalitarian thug" by President Biden, our nation maintains strong economic and defense ties with the U.S. The core issue is our success as a conservative, national alternative within Western civilization. Our economic, political, and cultural achievements, rooted in traditional values and national identity, challenge the liberal world view. They criticize us because our success proves there is an alternative to their leftist liberal ideals.

I love Europe, but the US/Europe relationship is broken because of a lack of respect. Europeans look down on Americans and act entitled. We're tired of being on the hook for security, including for non-NATO countries like Ukraine. We have our own problems at home, like fentanyl deaths, struggling veterans, and education issues. Americans across the political spectrum don't want to be in a nuclear war with Russia or continue the Ukraine war. We want peace and to focus on our own issues. The recent behavior from European leaders and Zelensky suggests the relationship is over. We'll still trade and visit, but the entitlement needs to stop. Americans are angry and want to address our own problems. It's time for a change.

I met Prime Minister Orban 36 years ago and saw his vision for a new Hungary. The Ukraine war stems from the US's 1994 NATO expansion project, despite promises to Gorbachev. This was a deep state project that every president after Clinton was a part of. Yesterday was historic because Trump and Putin spoke, and the new defense secretary admitted Ukraine won't join NATO. This is the basis for peace. For 30 years, America has been playing a game of risk, seeking world hegemony. Marco Rubio acknowledged a multipolar world. The US must stop attacking others and respect other countries. With mutual respect, we can achieve a golden age, investing in technology instead of war.

Hungary chose to defend its borders in 2015 and deny entry to migrants without permission, which was the only reasonable thing to do. We have a right to protect our country, people, history, and language. Other European countries decided to create post-Christian, post-national societies, mixing different communities, which is risky. Hungary decided against that risk, which is why we're attacked and I'm seen as the European Union's black sheep. Germany made its choice to accept migrants and now faces the consequences. Hungary has the right to make its own choice. Despite past US support, I was labeled a "totalitarian thug" by Joe Biden. This is disrespectful, but we remain respectful of America and seek to clarify misunderstandings. Our economic and defense ties are strong, but political differences with liberal Washington create tension. Our success, rooted in traditional values and national identity, challenges Western liberals who struggle to accept a successful conservative alternative.

The liberal elite in the West used taxpayer money to spread their ideology, funding NGOs and politicians to undermine our sovereignty. One motivation is money, opening gates for business, but leftists also sincerely believe in ideas like open borders. We never tried to educate anyone; we always insisted on making our own decisions about migration. Trump changed the mindset of the West. Previously, migration was good, resisting it was bad. Now, defending your interests is good, and illegal migration is bad. The EU launched wars with potential economic partners like Trump's America, China, and Russia. Central Europe, however, is building good relations and prioritizing connectivity. We must find a way to cooperate, as isolation won't work.

Well, we in Hungary have been bucking the liberal trends for 15 years with policies like strong borders and prioritizing citizens, but Trump stole our thunder. We felt squeezed between the U.S. and Brussels, but now the U.S. isn't on our back anymore. The global liberal elite uses taxpayer money to push their ideology, funding NGOs and media against our sovereignty. It's a liberal deep state. They push open borders and transgenderism, driven by money and ideology. They believe combining Muslim migrants with Christian societies will create a better society, but we should decide for ourselves. Trump changed the mindset in the West. Defending your interests is now good, and traditional values are back.

Emmanuel Macron and his husband reportedly went into hiding in a Paris bunker as thousands of French farmers blocked the capital with tractors, prompting arrests and rising calls for Macron to resign. Professor Richard Werner notes the protests are significant and may influence EU decision-making beyond France. Werner explains that the French government appears to be wavering on the EU–Mercosur free trade deal (Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay), which has been in the works for decades. The European Commission has binding authority, and under the new qualified majority voting system, France blocking it alone won’t stop the deal. Germany and Spain back the deal, while France’s opposition complicates approval, potentially delaying or revising the agreement if farmers’ pressure persists and media coverage sustains the public push. Farmers fear price declines from the Mercosur influx could undercut European agriculture. The current trigger allows governments to intervene if European prices fall by more than 8%; French farmers want this threshold lowered to 5%. They argue that European farming already operates with slim margins amid rising energy costs and EU-imposed burdens intensified in recent years. The discussion touches broader farm policy and nationalism in Europe: Dutch and German farmers faced herd culls and other policies, with Dutch and Danish protests cited. The Netherlands’ culling of herds and other measures are mentioned as part of a trend toward tightening control over farmland and food production, with alleged aims toward urban-planning shifts (15-minute cities) and reduced reliance on animal agriculture. The UK is also in the picture, with tractors in solidarity with French farmers. In the UK, inheritance taxes are framed as a tool to force privatized farmland back into state control, a tactic criticized as an expropriation policy. Oxford was among protest sites. Beyond agriculture, the conversation highlights Europe’s broader economic strain: Germany is in a third year of economic contraction—the longest since 1933—while other EU economies, including France and Austria, show weak indicators. Banking sector vulnerabilities are noted, with the ECB’s asset-bubble strategies in real estate contributing to potential instability. A new EU CO2 import tax system is described as highly complex (a 3,000-page framework with a 1,600-page registry), imposing substantial compliance costs on importers and potentially driving more firms out of business. Energy costs remain high, and climate-policy mandates are viewed as further straining the economy. The speakers critique leadership for focusing on external conflicts (Ukraine) rather than domestic economic revival, suggesting that ending the war could help economies recover. Viktor Orban’s Hungary is cited as a contrasting example, with border control policies claimed to reduce crime and pressures elsewhere. The exchange closes with a sense of urgency about Europe’s deteriorating situation, as leadership debates and domestic policy choices appear to align with worsening economic and social stress across the continent.

The speaker criticizes the use of extreme vocabulary to describe the government, such as "absurd" and "dumbest government in Europe." The other speaker agrees that not all criticisms can be justified but questions if the Hungarian government under Viktor Orbán is smarter than the German government. They acknowledge that they disagree with Orbán's policies but recognize that he prioritizes the interests of his country, such as importing cheaper Russian oil and gas. The speaker concludes that while they don't have to like Orbán, they understand his decision to act in the best interest of Hungary.

Well, we lost our appeal after Trump. For fifteen years, Hungary stood against liberal headwinds, securing borders, and defending values. We were a hero, an island of difference, but Trump changed everything. Previously, the US and Brussels were crushing us, but now America's off our chest, a real relief. These liberal elites used taxpayer money to spread ideology, funding NGOs and politicians to undermine our sovereignty. The motive? Money and ideology. They believe in open borders and transgenderism, ideas not pushed on non-Western nations. This stems from a leftist community ashamed of Western civilization, aiming to destroy and rebuild it. But we believe in national decisions, not forced migration from Brussels or Washington. Trump shifted the mindset, valuing national interest and traditional values.

The speaker provocatively asks what would happen if Viktor Orbán were the head of the European Commission or the European Council, noting that a politician needs a vision and that Orbán has one. They point out that in Hungary many people do not agree with him at the national level, because they feel the policy’s impact in their own lives, yet there is a broader European view of Orbán that differs. The speaker observes that Orbán is popular among Europeans, even if not among politicians, because he speaks openly about issues. They credit him with openly addressing migration from the outset, contrasting this with Western European politicians who they claim lied to their own people by saying migration wasn’t a problem. The speaker suggests that Western claims included assurances that “brain surgeons” would arrive, using a metaphor about the idea that with new access, anyone could open a pastry shop in Vienna, implying hollow promises by the EU-era negotiators during enlargement. They state that people remember these deceptions, and that Orbán perceived and highlighted them. The speaker notes that during the Covid period and various crises, Orbán’s approach has been driven by a clear vision and a hardline policy. The overall point is that Orbán’s stance is characterized by clarity about migration and a steadfast, uncompromising political line, which the speaker believes resonates with a broad European audience despite mixed reception at home in Hungary.

As a representative of Europe, a continent of great explorers, inventors and industrial revolutions, I want it to be great again. Currently, the continent is in decline and we owe it to our heritage and children to repair it. Europe's GDP was once larger than the United States', but is now 50% smaller. Industrial production in Germany has fallen, while Poland's has increased. Europe stands at a crossroads and cannot be the weaker partner of the United States. To rise again, we must abandon the outdated EU development model, as the Franco-German engine has stalled and Brussels cannot replace the real economy. Climate and migration policies have created chaos. If we fail to change course, Europe risks becoming a museum or a colony of Asian powers.

We are not in trouble because of a lack of energy or amateurs. We need to talk about things. These people are great, but they are inexperienced. Macron has been here for 6 years and didn't think about all this before. We are dependent now, whereas France used to be a leader in electricity. We had the strongest nuclear potential in the world and could export electricity. But now we are begging because we followed Germany's lead. This is not Europe, it's German Europe. The Franco-German relationship is a disaster for France. We need to break free from this imperialism.

The speaker discusses the Alternative for Germany (AFD) party's experience with media labeling them as right-wing extremists, leading to social exclusion and economic hardship for party members. Despite this, the AFD has grown in popularity, reaching 26% in polls and over 40% in Eastern Germany. The speaker criticizes Germany's intelligence service for labeling the AFD as extremist for holding conservative views. They also express concern over the EU's bureaucratic system and its impact on democratic processes. The speaker thanks Elon Musk for providing an alternative to mainstream media, which they claim is government-funded and biased. They lament Germany's energy policy, particularly the shutdown of nuclear power plants, and criticize Chancellor Merkel's green policies. The speaker believes the AFD represents normal conservative values and offers a perspective of freedom and wealth. They express worry about the possibility of the party being banned and its leaders imprisoned, drawing parallels to situations in Romania and the treatment of Donald Trump. They advocate for peace in Ukraine and criticize Germany's support for the war.

The speaker criticizes the European Union, claiming it has become a corrupt dictatorship. They accuse governments in countries like the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, and Italy of compromising people's health with vaccines. They also allege that democracy is being undermined through the withholding of information on vaccine deals and freedom of speech is being suppressed under the guise of combating misinformation. The speaker argues that the EU is driving up food and energy prices, confiscating land from farmers due to the Green Deal. They claim that the media, influenced by former politicians, is paid to deceive the public about non-existent diseases, climate change, and Eastern enemies. The speaker defends Hungary as a model for how member states should interact with the EU, praising its adherence to traditional Christian values, low energy prices, and strict immigration policies. They demand action from the parliament and commission.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is seen as responsible for the downfall of Europe. The speaker asserts that the EU's executive body is unelected, and von der Leyen was nominated, not chosen by the people. Von der Leyen is known for the EU Green Deal, climate policies, the EU migration pact, and a corruption scandal involving a €35 billion deal with Pfizer's CEO via undisclosed text messages. Her husband allegedly works closely with Pfizer. She is also accused of pushing for involvement in World War III by supporting Ukraine with taxpayer money. Recently, von der Leyen announced a plan to rearm Europe, allocating €800 billion to a European defense fund, and €4.4 billion for an energy transition in South Africa. She is also accused of interfering in Romanian elections and planning to access private savings for European investments. The speaker believes she embodies everything wrong with modern politics and that the EU should be abolished.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban discusses various topics in an interview. He expresses concern about being labeled a fascist by the Biden administration and the media. Orban criticizes the liberal ideology in Europe and emphasizes the importance of national identity and unity. He believes that Ukraine is not winning the war against Russia and warns of the dangers of escalating the conflict. Orban suggests that peace should be pursued and praises former US President Donald Trump's foreign policy. He also addresses accusations of being a puppet of Putin and highlights Hungary's historical struggles against Russian occupation. Orban concludes by rejecting the use of the justice system against political opponents and emphasizes the need for fair competition and national unity.

Hungary faces opposition from various entities: the Soros Empire, Brussels bureaucrats, and American democrats. They demand things we don't want to give. The US administration wants us to join the war, provide weapons, and give more money to Ukraine. Brussels wants us to accept migrants, build migrant ghettos, allow sexual propaganda in schools, and surrender economic decision-making rights. They also want us to give up unanimous decision-making on foreign policy. If we refuse, they will withhold funds and support our internal enemies. Hungary rejects being part of a right-wing club that only answers to Brussels. We prioritize our independence and sovereignty, as mandated by our constitution.

In this segment, the speaker argues against the idea that exiting the eurozone or the European Union would automatically sever access to the internal market, labeling such fears as fundamentally incorrect. The speaker references a position previously outlined in a Welt article from 2016, stating that every country within the EU should be allowed to leave the EU and automatically fall into the internal market, so that the free internal market continues to guarantee the fundamental freedoms between EU countries. The overarching objective presented is the creation of a European Economic Area, but the speaker rejects what is described as a “monstrous overbuild” currently practiced, characterized by tens of thousands of civil servants who are deemed unnecessary and overpaid, with a level of intrusion that is viewed as excessive. The speaker then shifts to a critique of the current leadership and policies, urging the removal of those in power within the EU framework, specifically naming Ursula von der Leyen and the policies associated with her tenure. The cited policy areas include a ban on combustion engines, CO2-related levies, heating laws, and building energy policy, among others. The demand is to “throw out” these people, as they are viewed as representative of an overreaching EU apparatus that the speaker does not support. The central message is that such a centralized and intrusive EU structure is unnecessary and undesirable. The text emphasizes the need for a free internal market among European nations, paired with the restoration of national sovereignty and secure borders. The speaker advocates for free exchange of goods and services among nations, suggesting that this approach would constitute real progress. The concluding sentiment reinforces a preference for smaller, less intrusive governance and a streamlined framework that prioritizes the free movement of goods and services within a European context, while maintaining secure borders and national autonomy. The overall call is for scrapping what is described as the EU apparatus, empowering nations to engage in open trade and cooperation without the perceived rigidity and overreach of the current EU system.

I met Prime Minister Orban 36 years ago and was immediately impressed by his vision for a new Hungary. Enduring leadership requires foresight and energy. The Ukraine war stems from the US's misguided project to expand NATO eastward, ignoring Russia's concerns. Yesterday was a historic day. Trump and Putin had a call, respecting Russia's concerns, and the new defense secretary admitted Ukraine won't join NATO. This is the basis for peace after 30 years of lies. This administration recognizes a multipolar world, a crucial step towards peace. Europe, invested in the failed US project, is now befuddled. They should have cooperated with Russia, not antagonized it.

If you're unhappy with the current situation in Germany, my strong recommendation is to vote for change. That's why I urge you to vote for AFD. It's simply the sensible move. Alice Weidel is a very reasonable person, and as you can probably tell from this conversation, nothing outrageous is being proposed, just common sense. I've said it publicly before, and I'll say it again: only AFD can save Germany. End of story.

Being the president of the U.S. is easier than running Hungary, a small, landlocked country in Central Europe that has been invaded countless times. Yet, Hungary has maintained its distinct sovereignty, largely due to leaders like Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his political director, Balazs Orban. Hungary wants to remain sovereign, with the right to decide who they ally with and how to govern themselves. The contemporary liberal elites in Washington and Brussels, want a globalized system based on one ideology and are not used to this. We believe the only way to survive is through national conservative ideas based on national sovereignty and mutual trust.

It's dangerous when the US administration views you as an enemy. Liberalism once meant freedom, but now it opposes it. We're allies with the US but are treated worse than Russia. NATO's strategy to provoke war with Russia is bad; we can't beat them. Using the justice system against political opponents is a communist tactic, unimaginable in Hungary. Ukraine isn't winning; it's a lie. They'll run out of soldiers before Russia does. The US misunderstands Russia; their priority is keeping the country together, not freedom. Killing Putin could lead to anarchy. Sending Western troops to Ukraine would trigger World War III. The Nord Stream attack showed a lack of sovereignty. Peace is needed immediately; call back Trump, whose foreign policy was the best in decades.
