Sarah Longwell

Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Bulwark Podcast.

I'm Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, and I'm sitting in for my good buddy, Tim Miller.

I didn't have my pearls today, but I'm going to try this hat for just a minute.

Actually, Bill, what do you think of the hat?

You've made the point.

Okay.

Well, just because I am sitting in for Tim since he is, nobody works anymore, Bill.

No one works anymore.

These kids.

Except for us.

But just because you don't have Tim doesn't mean you don't get Bill Kristol.

Bill Kristol's here to join me after a action-packed, news-filled weekend.

So many things happened.

In fact, Monday hasn't slowed down one bit.

We have this morning Donald Trump posting himself as Jesus.

He is in a hot war with the Pope.

America is now closing itself the Strait of Hormuz.

And most importantly, and where I want to start, is with the big election in Hungary where Viktor Orban yesterday was defeated resoundingly, resoundingly.

And for people who maybe at a macro level say, I know Orban's a bad guy and I'm glad he lost, but maybe they don't understand all of the implications, both for Europe and for us.

So I thought, Bill, I'd just turn it over to you and let you set the stage for why yesterday's election was so important.
