It means I think he's resigning and we'll cover his dropping out of the governor's race, his resignation and what went down there as well.
um horrible horrible stuff uh and and our hearts go out to all the victims all of the survivors out there and everybody who you know step forward and anybody who's gone through has gone through those heinous acts brent and jordy good to see you good to see you too brothers nice to see you ben nice to see you jordy good to be with you midas mighty i hope everybody was able to enjoy their weekend at least a little bit
One of the things I didn't mention in the intro, which we should talk about right away, is the incredible victory of the pro-democracy party, the TISA party in Hungary.
Peter Magyar, the new prime minister of Hungary, prevailing and not just prevailing, but winning big with the super majorities that were needed.
and taking over parliament there.
It's going to be able to dramatically change Hungary for the better, moving it in a pro-European Union direction, a pro-democracy direction.
And from the outset, the new prime minister, Peter Magyar, said that our country wants to live again.
It wants to be a European country again.
As the crowd was chanting, go home, Russia, Russia, go home.
he was also saying that we're not going to be having cpac events anymore or any of these right-wing you know events here he said he's going to hold everybody from victor orban's government accountable if they've engaged in traitorous and treasonous conduct in helping putin and he started off by saying formerly press conferences worked in a way that propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by the government
we will now give the floor to those hungarian outlets who are still independent i thought what a great way to start the press conference there and it was so incredible to see the young people of hungary really fuel this movement that's really at the core of this big victory you know and here at the midas touch network we've spent a lot of attention focused on international affairs right
In addition to focusing on the Middle East and Asia and South America and Africa and Europe and elsewhere, we've been paying very close attention to elections like this for months and months and months, letting you know this election was coming, who the people were,
the difference between the TISA party and the Fidesz party, what Viktor Orban was trying to pull.
And I think it's been such great feedback also to hear from the Midas mighty in Hungary, shout out to all of you, and building these bridges here at the network, right?
With, I think, Canada really leading the way and what an incredible speech that you had Prime Minister Carney deliver.
But one of the most important things when Donald Trump
became you know president again sadly but one of the important things we dedicated to was this international coverage because we recognized that donald trump was going to try to destroy a stable world order and we had to be on the front lines covering what a shifting global order looked like and so uh what we've been seeing brett as you said america first has meant america alone
And we've seen all of these international agreements and movements basically making the United States smaller.
As Donald Trump has tried to huff and puff his chest, we've seen all of these links, transatlantic, transpacific, Canada, Australia, bringing everybody together.
So shout out to the great folks in Hungary.
