It is far, far darker.

And it's no surprise that Steve Bannon, who was an early supporter of Donald Trump, a longtime supporter, regarded Victor Orban as the leading light, worked very closely with him.

And J.D.

Vance,

on his way to Pakistan for those crucially important talks, spent two days campaigning for Viktor Orban just this last week.

So how did they defeat him?

Because I think this is a question everybody needs to look at this.

So the person who defeated him, Peter Maxwell, was a member of his party.

Left in disgust at the corrupt

no better motivator I think for voters than obvious open corruption finally it actually disgusts voters when it becomes transparent that way and he campaigned that's his issue he campaigned on corruption and the destruction of core Hungarian institutions

Viktor Orban was Russia's door into Europe.

He vetoed the big package inside the European Union of financial aid to Ukraine.

They operate on the basis of consensus.

One vote.

That aid has been stalled inside the European Union because of Viktor Orban.

So for people looking at this, what's the magic mix here, right?

And in the streets of Budapest on Sunday night, and I'm really filled with people celebrating this because people had given up.

They thought this regime...

could last 30 years, frankly, and that Hungarian experiment in democracy, which is not old, given the fact that it was part of the Soviet Empire, was finished.

So what made this work?
