The text is a transcript of a video report by Jordan Klepper, a correspondent for The Daily Show, who travels to Hungary to investigate why American conservatives admire its right-wing leader Viktor Orban. Klepper compares Orban's rallies, policies and media control to those of Donald Trump and questions Orban's spokesperson about Hungary's relationship with Russia and its treatment of refugees. Klepper also interviews opposition leaders, journalists and volunteers who are trying to help Ukrainian refugees fleeing from Putin's invasion. Klepper concludes that Orban has achieved a US conservative's dream by becoming an autocratic strongman, but he also finds hope in the people who are fighting for democracy and human rights in Hungary.
