0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about this tweet from Victor Orban, or this ex post, whatever you call it, nowadays. |
0:12.2 | You know, I'm not even 100% sure if this is Orban's official Twitter account, is an official ex-account. |
0:19.0 | I believe it is. At PM, Victor Abond, |
0:21.9 | it has the checkmark. Anyway, this is what was posted. Hashtag Brussels is creating an |
0:29.3 | Orwellian front, an Orwellian world in front of our eyes. They buy and supply weapons |

1:54.7 | They're giving it different meanings from those that everybody knew. |
1:58.6 | So war is peace. |
2:00.7 | You know, and what was it? |
2:04.2 | Ignorance is strength. |
2:05.4 | I can't remember what the third one was. |
2:08.0 | And this is now becoming the kind of language of the European Union. |
