## Resource

This week, Hungarian politician Peter Magyar gathered a politically diverse coalition to win an election against prime minister Viktor Orban, ending a 16-year autocratic rule. Dalibor Rohac joins Russell Moore and Clarissa Moll to talk about Orban’s connection with President Trump and what this indicates about the global far-right populist movement. On Tuesday, Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress following allegations of sexual misconduct. Charlie Sykes stops by to discuss. Finally, President Trump posted an AI meme of himself dressed as Jesus and healing a man. Matthew Walther joins us to talk about the importance of images and symbols, and the role of the church in speaking truth to power.
