This program is brought to you by Native Path, grass-fed collagen for better bones, joints,

0:05.6

skin, hair, and nails. Here's something that genuinely surprised me. Calcium supplements,

0:10.4

the ones millions take for their bone health, may not be doing much at all because bones are 90%

0:15.5

collagen, not calcium. Without the collagen scaffold to attach to, calcium has nowhere to go. That's where today's

0:22.4

sponsor comes in. After 30, our bodies produce 1 to 2% less collagen every single year. By 60,

0:28.6

most people have lost half their collagen. And it's nearly impossible to get it back through diet

most other aspects of Hungarian life, a state capture system grounded in good old-fashioned

1:25.8

corruption.

From Orban's son-in-law pulling a Jared and using his government position to become one of the richest men in the country to his billionaire cronies buying up the media like the

1:36.6

billionaire Ellison's are doing here right now, corruption was Magyar's singular throughline message,

1:43.8

and it worked, producing an overwhelming turnout and

1:47.0

undeniable victory. It will work here, too. Democrats are continuously, it seems, debating what

1:55.3

should be their campaign strategy, their throughline message for the 2026 midterms and the 28 presidential election.

Every faction and special interest group in the country is pushing their own idea, but there's

2:07.5

one overarching concept, one word that can encompass most all of them and do so with a proven

political punch. Corruption. At every level since the Reagan revolution,
