The Tucker Carlson Show
Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban on USAID, Trump, Immigration, NATO, and the Russia/Ukraine War
14 Feb 2025
Hungary’s Viktor Orban is by far the longest serving head of state in Europe, and by this point has been vindicated on pretty much everything. So when he says that going forward it’s Ukraine, not Russia, that may be the biggest threat to the west, it’s worth paying attention.

Full Episode
I'm ready for my life to change. ABC Tonight, American Idol returns. Give it your all. Good luck. Come out with a golden ticket. Let's hear it. This is a man's world.
I've never seen anything like it. And a new chapter begins. We're going to Hollywood. Carrie Underwood joins Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Ryan Seacrest on American Idol. Season premiere tonight, 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
I will introduce our next guest, who is the longest serving leader in Europe by far. And he is someone that I interviewed several years ago for the first time. He is, of course, the prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. And I was just thinking back when I worked at a giant publicly traded news company and interviewed you for the first time.
You're a democratically elected leader of a European nation and it was considered controversial to interview you because your ideas were considered eccentric and they included emphasis on the middle class and families. They included above all secure borders, serving your citizens before you serve foreigners. And that was all considered super radical and dangerous.
And I wonder if you feel vindicated years later by watching what happened to the rest of Europe when they didn't follow those simple ideas.
So now we lost all the real attraction, what we have done previously, and Donald Trump take away all the attraction of the international politics. We have done something for 15 years in Hungary, in headwind, liberal headwind, stopping migration, defending traditional values, respecting religious communities, no Green Deal, low taxation.
So everything which is unorthodox in the mind of the liberals. So we were a kind of hero. We were a kind of island of difference in the liberal ocean. But now, unfortunately... Donald Trump taking over everything. So, yeah, just sitting and try to follow him now. This is a totally new reality.
And that's, may I say, very much helpful to Hungary because, you know, I try to make some jokes on how the last 15 years was, but it was serious. So when you have one boot from United States on your chest and one from Brussels, European Union, trying to kill you and to deliver evidences that that way of government and governance cannot work, it's difficult to survive.
So now we remember back in a happy way, but that was very serious. So now at least one boost is out. The Americans not anymore on our chest, not kneeling on our chest. So it's an appeasement. So we think that life is happy and it will be even happier when we swept away the Brazilian bureaucrats and the other boost is down. That's the plan.
