The best thing that happened and it's a real testament to Victor Orban was he
00:00:05
conceded the election. He thanked his people. He talked about Hungary and he conceded the election. If you do not
00:00:14
concede elections, the very basis, the very foundation of democracy does not exist. And a right-wing some people
00:00:22
would call fascist in Eastern Europe had the decency and the character to concede
00:00:28
the election. If we can't have the peaceful transfer of power, none of this other matters. And Victor Orban,
00:00:35
who I'm not a fan of, this guy showed more fidelity to democracy than not only
00:00:42
our corrupt president, but so many of the people who want to be a judge are willing to do right now. So, it's a
00:00:50
strange win, but my win goes to Victor Orban for conceding an election. I am so thrilled for the Hungarian people. It is
00:00:57
an inspiration. >> JD, when you lose the presidency, you better act like that.
