TOMMY VIETOR (HOST): The world's worst fascist Hinge date is happening as we speak in Hungary this week. So bow-tied white nationalist Tucker Carlson is speaking at a far-right conference in Budapest on Saturday, presumably because they paid him a ton of money, and he is also hanging out with and interviewing Hungarian president Viktor Orban. The conference that Tucker is speaking at is funded by an organization called -- Ben, I'll probably butcher this name -- Mathias Corvinus Collegium. MCC, it sounds like Opus Dei. It's some sort of weird Latin name. The MCC was recently granted more than 1.7 billion -- with a "b" -- dollars in government money from Orban. That's about 1% of Hungary's GDP with the goal of creating an academy of sorts to train the next generation of baby rightwing fascists.
