4:08Ben Meiselas:Hungary was celebrating the inauguration of Peter Magyar as its new Prime Minister. Yesterday made it official the swearing-in of Peter Magyar as the Prime Minister, completing the ouster of the longtime authoritarian leader in Hungary, Viktor Orban. And as I saw the massive crowds in Hungary of people celebrating democracy, celebrating freedom, celebrating the ouster of an authoritarian regime, I couldn't help but think one day here in America, We will be celebrating just like they did in Hungary. But folks, let's let Hungary have their moment. And it was incredible. Peter Magyar gave one of the most incredible speeches I've seen at an inauguration or frankly at any event.

5:08Ben Meiselas:I want to show you Magyar's inauguration speech. I mean, the crowd was going wild. Magyar was then DJing his own set at his inauguration party. You had the future government leaders up there on the stage dancing the pure joy radiating from the stage. They brought back some old traditions that Viktor Orban would not allow. For example, the first time the Forest is Green anthem was sung, which gained important status after the 1993 civil rights protests. The Ode to Joy European anthem was sung. And just to see all of the ways that Donald Trump and Putin tried to manipulate this election to prop up Orban, but the people rose up.

6:05Ben Meiselas:It was incredible. So let me show you what went down. I showed you some B-roll there before of the crowds going wild. Let me just show you what it looked like inside the room when Peter Magyar got sworn in. Let's play this clip.

6:49Ben Meiselas:Now I'll show you the speech by Peter Magyar. It was incredible as he was talking in front of the historic building there in Hungary. And he said, finally, finally, we're here together. And this is no longer a symbol of an authoritarian regime. This is a symbol of freedom, of love, of bringing Hungary back. Here, play this clip. Look behind me at this magnificent structure. arguably the most beautiful building in the entire world, the house of Hungary. For how many long, dark and painful years did this building stand as a cold, imposing symbol of oppression, the sheer arrogance of absolute power and hollow vanity.

7:38But today the tide has finally turned and now it belongs to you, the people. You have taken it back once more. Your representatives are now sitting there once again. The true representatives of every single Hungarian citizen.

7:50Ben Meiselas:More from Peter Magyar here in this truly incredible speech. Again, you see what a huge crowd that is. And here he talks about what a historic day this is in the history of Hungary. And Hungary has once again reclaimed its mantle, its light of freedom, if you will. Here, play this clip.

8:21Today, my dear fellow countrymen, today every single freedom-loving person across the entire world wishes that they were, in some small way, a little bit Hungarian. My dear fellow citizens, I stand before you. For years they've relentlessly tried to convince us that miracles are mere fantasy, that they don't exist. They desperately wanted to teach us that war is peace, that freedom is slavery, that ignorance is strength and that anyone who dares to think differently is somehow less Hungarian, less valuable, and certainly less a part of this beautiful, deeply cherished homeland of ours. But tell me, did you actually succeed in your grand endeavor?

9:08No, you certainly did not. Instead, you taught this entire country and the whole wide world the exact opposite, the very polar opposite of what you intended, that even the most wicked and powerful tyranny can be defeated by the most ordinary, simple flesh and blood people like us. That against the coal grinding machinery of power, it is not another machinery of power that is needed, but rather real, living, breathing, flesh and blood people.

9:34Ben Meiselas:And then in a sign of bringing people together, Magyar said right now, even though we won big, there are lots of people out there who may not be happy about these election results. He said, right now, there's no right. There's no left. We are all Hungarian. This is Hungary. Leadership right here, folks. Here, play this clip. That is precisely the reason why I am asking you to reach out and extend a helping hand to those fellow citizens of ours who are feeling deeply disappointed today, who are living in a state of fear, and who view this current period of time as a significant and painful loss.

10:14Please, I implore you do not attempt to defeat them and do not attempt to humiliate or belittle them in any way Instead I urge you to open your hearts and listen to them. I Speak to them reach out now tell them this country is theirs too. It belongs to us all they are needed Every person is vital in this hour together We will rebuild our beloved Hungary stronger than ever. In the end, there is no right or left, only our unity standing as one.

10:47Ben Meiselas:And there was this incredible moment where Zoltedigus, have you seen this one? The leading candidate for health minister in Hungary's new government recreated his viral dance, complete with air guitar moves on parliament steps as tens of thousands, over 100 ,000 people there in Budapest for Magyar's inauguration. Let me show you this incredible moment right here. Let's play it.

11:34Ben Meiselas:And as I mentioned before, for the first time in Hungarian history, the forest is green. The Hungarian Roma community anthem, which gained status after a 1993 civil rights protest was played in parliament at Magyar's request. Take a look. I mean, you had so many members of parliament who were in tears. Doesn't this whole entire video give you all the chills. Here, play this clip.

12:18Ben Meiselas:Now, here was the moment in Hungary's parliament where they sang, Ode to Joy, the European anthem. Let's play this clip because Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union. Let's play this clip.

13:18Ben Meiselas:Now here we have Hungary's new Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, DJing his own inauguration party. Let's play this clip.

13:36Ben Meiselas:more from this incredible scene with Hungarians taking back control of their streets. Play this clip.

13:50Ben Meiselas:The people were out there dancing. It was truly incredible. Watch this scene.

14:05Ben Meiselas:And I'm reminded, what was it, 30 days ago, 45 days ago, perhaps, where J.D. Vance was there in Hungary, standing right next to Viktor Orban, buh-bye Orban, and J.D. Vance, the authoritarian vice president here in the United States under the Orban of the U.S., the fascist, authoritarian, authoritarian disgusting regime we have here in the United States. Vance tried to prop up the authoritarian in Hungary. Let's watch it. In support of Prime Minister Orban, because together the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Hungary have been able to do amazing things. And we're here because we want to celebrate those amazing things.

14:47We want to build upon those amazing things. And of course, I want to help as much as I possibly can the Prime Minister as he faces this election season, which I believe is happening in just about a week, the election to elect the next prime minister of Hungary.

15:01Ben Meiselas:More from Vance right here, praising Orban and Trump. Let's play it. War would have never started under president if President Trump had been president four years ago. But now that it has started, probably the two leaders who have done the most to actually end that destructive conflict have been Donald J. Trump and Viktor Orban in Hungary. And they've done it through diplomacy, through talking to people, through trying to understand what the Ukrainians and the Russians need to end the war. We're going to continue to participate in that process. And remember when Orban was at the White House and he was like saying, Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist.

15:36Ben Meiselas:He goes, you're so good at what you do. Maybe I need you in Hungary. What disgusting people. These are disgusting people. Here, play this clip. Affordability is what the American people elected this president to do. and he is doing it and you guys refuse to cover it and you refuse to cover that the previous administration created the worst unaffordability crisis in american history and i've been watching the tv all day saying that he doesn't want to talk about affordability that's what he's working on every day and that's what this administration is doing but you know why they refuse to cover it because they're fake news that's why can i get through someone sure Caroline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary.

16:19Please consider. You know what? That's a very good decision you just made. Please, please, please don't leave us, Caroline.

16:26Ben Meiselas:And then Don Jr. would post stuff like this right before the election. To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary 1st. We hope you will vote for my father's friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House. I hope you will support Orban. And then Donald Trump would post these weird photos of himself next to Orban at the White House. Highly respected Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, is a truly strong and powerful leader with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results. He fights fearlessly and loves his great country, just like I do for the United States.

17:06Ben Meiselas:Victor works hard to protect Hungary, growing the economy, create jobs. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. He goes on to say, I was proud to endorse Victor Orban for re-election in 2022, and I'm honored to do so again. Orban is a true friend, a fighter and a winner and has my complete and total endorsement. He will never let the great people of Hungary down. Well, Hungary has spoken. And they said, buh-bye, Orban. And now Magyar's TISA party has like 70 % support right now. They've got the super majority. You've got Hungary going in the right direction. And I can just say as an American, I mean, aren't you getting the chills?

17:49Ben Meiselas:I'm thinking two years from now, whoever wins this election, this authoritarian regime gets overthrown, dancing in the streets, tearing down the golden ballrooms and the arches, ripping away Donald Trump's name when he throws it on all this stuff, tearing down the posters, rejoicing in the street, just like what they're doing in Hungary right now. It's foreshadowing what's to come. This is what Donald Trump said in the video he made before the election where Orban lost. Here play this clip. A very big hello to CPAC Hungary. Congratulations to CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp, as well as the Chairman of CPAC Hungary, Mikhail Szentho, on this historic fifth gathering in the magnificent city of Budapest.

18:39It's a great place and a great country. I also want to send my best wishes to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who I am endorsing, as you know. I am endorsing his election, which is coming up pretty soon. He has my complete and total endorsement, as a matter of fact. The prime minister has been a strong leader who's shown the entire world what's possible when you defend your borders.

19:02Ben Meiselas:Also, as you know, Netanyahu endorsed Orban. Netanyahu sent his son to CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee in the United States, which we've now learned, apparently, we believe, this is what a lot of the news that's being investigated, that they were getting huge amounts of money from Hungary's taxpayers so that American CPAC can help prop up freaking Victor Orban. Are you kidding me? That's what was going down. And now we know lots of people in Orban's disgusting regime. They're taking their blood money, their Russian oil money, their disgusting money. They're trying to move it here into the United States.

19:44Ben Meiselas:They're trying to work with the Trump regime to hide their money. They're trying to hide right now from accountability. Folks, what an incredible sight to behold there in Hungary.
