and the dynamic before before we get away from hungary i want to talk about hungary for a second because i think what people in the united states should take away from hungary and shout out to the people of hungary i know we have a lot of listeners in our we got to figure out a cool name for the midas uh hungarians uh out there but shout out for standing up for your democracy

But I think here in the United States, there are lessons to be learned from this.

And I just want to say it in this way.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/14/26

In Hungary, Viktor Orban did all the things that Donald Trump is doing in the United States.

He cracked down on the free press.

He had people in those briefing rooms who were asking questions, who were propaganda press, who would have pre-screened questions or questions approved by the government.

that they would ask him.

It's the same thing like when they have these Pentagon press briefings and the people they call on are Breitbart, the Daily Caller, random Twitter influencers, you know, and not the actual press.

They don't even allow them in the room.

Orban did that.

Orban also engaged in this heavy sort of gerrymandering similar to in the United States, which made the Fidesz party a lot more powerful.

And it made it so that even if people voted in massive numbers, they tried to rig the game so that even if there was a lower percentage of people voting for Orban's party, that they could still win a majority of the seats.

So I think those two things right there, I could go down a longer list, but I think those two things right there should ring a bell as to what's happening here in the United States.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/14/26

And the reason I want to bring that up is because despite all of that,

The MeidasTouch Podcast

the people of Hungary rose up in numbers that were so undeniable, that the numbers were so big, the victory was such a blowout that even Viktor Orban had to do what Donald Trump could not build up the courage to do, and that's concede, admit defeat.
