On Thursday, Tucker Carlson conducted a fairly in-depth interview with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. It was a fascinating look at a classic liberal: Liberty-oriented values that don’t veer into anarchy, strong principles, and a healthy nationalism. The left has used “nationalism” as a dirty word since Hitler, as they seek a borderless world they can control, but healthy nationalism means doing what Trump did: Putting your countrymen first, without regard for other nations' demands that you subordinate your country to them – and that’s what Orbán does.
Orbán was born in Hungary in 1963 when it was still under Soviet control. As a child, he was a devoted communist, but his two years of military service turned him into a conservative.
Ironically, in 1989, it was a scholarship from the Soros Foundation that first took Orbán out of the communist bloc and saw him study political science at Oxford. He entered politics in 1990 and has consistently run as a liberty-oriented conservative, who believes in traditional Judeo-Christian values, a strong national identity, and individual liberty.
For most Americans, Orbán, who has been Prime Minister since 2010 (his second term in that office) might not have been a recognized name were it not for the fact that, in 2015, Angela Merkel opened Europe’s gates to millions of Muslim migrants, most of them single men. Orbán, despite being a member of the EU, refused to get with that program. If people want to immigrant to Hungary, he said, they must comply with its immigration laws, rather than just walking in.
Orbán has also presided over Hungary’s passing a set of laws that, while they would have been normative three or four decades ago, are now decried as gross violations of LGBTQ+ human rights.

I’ve seen the “must see” video, now what?
Thanks for posting. I like how he handles illegals.
Hungary First is a tough sell in the USA.
Most drones think this is a story about eating.
We do need someone like Victor Orbán. Well we did have someone like him in Donald Trump
Yeah, they are that stupid and ignorant.
Try finding a “safe, clean, friendly, ,” street in New York City. Chuckle.
Here’s a great Orban speech from 2016:

Anyone saying out loud, loudly, the truth that “Europe is not free” is OK by me.
Mr. Orban is a world class hero>
Why? It is just an extension of America First.
Not a tough sell at all.
Orban is a unique politician. He answers questions without dodging. He exudes honesty. No wonder he is hated in Europe, and now in the American media.
Most people think their stomach is growling.
Hungary, Poland moving in the right direction. America on the other hand, is fantasizing how to become Cuba.
Now we can search out guys like him to place in our own leadership.
PRAY that we can have someone as good as this guy again!!
Good grief....he meant that EVERY COUNTRY should have their best interests FIRST!! geesh.....
Budapest is GORGEOUS!!!
