Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colorado) slammed GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for getting talking points from Russian President Vladimir Putin while threatening to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Now that Congress has returned from recess, Johnson has to figure out how he can pass new aid for Ukraine, something that far-right Republicans such as Greene oppose.
Greene slammed Johnson for holding a vote to fund Ukraine, saying it was one of the most “egregious things” he could do.
“Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue, getting her talking points from the Kremlin, making sure she is popular, and getting a lot of coverage,’ Buck told CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront.
Buck, one of the eight Republicans who voted to remove Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, accused the Georgia representative of always focusing on her social media account instead of the national interest.

What’s the biggest documentary festival in the world? The International Documentary Festival Amsterdam. For now.
Upstart Cph:dox in Copenhagen aims to overtake IDFA as the top showcase for nonfiction film worldwide. On the new episode of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast, we sit down with Cph:dox Artistic Director Niklas Engstrøm for a conversation about the growth of the festival in the Danish capital and how he aims to make it No. 1.
Engstrøm argues that Cph:dox has been central to the emergence of Denmark as one of the most important hubs for documentary on the planet. It’s a country of less than 6 million that has produced a remarkable number of Oscar-nominated documentary directors and producers in recent years, including Signe Byrge Sørensen, Monica Hellström, Simon Lereng Wilmont, Jonas Rasmussen, Sigrid Dyekjær and Kirstine Barfod.
In our report from the field at Cph:Dox, we also talk with filmmaker Benjamin Ree about Ibelin,...

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that Donald Trump would stop giving military aid to Ukraine.
During an interview with a state-run media organization in Hungary, M1 on March 10, Orbán told the television presenter Tünde Volf-Nagy that Trump “has a very clear vision, which is hard to disagree with.”
According to the Hungarian prime minister, Trump “won’t give a penny to the Ukrainian-Russian war.”
“This is why the war will end because it’s obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet,” he added. “If the Americans don’t give money and weapons and the Europeans don’t give them, then this war is over. And if the Americans don’t provide money, the Europeans will be unable to finance this war on their own, and then the war will be over.”

“There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting, and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,” the former president told CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” responding to a question about Social Security and Medicare.

The Republican Accountability Pac has created a new ad that calls Donald Trump a “dictator.”
The ad, called “Dictator Donald,” was produced by a Republican group that stands opposed to Trump.
The “Dictator Donald” was posted on YouTube over two weeks after Trump announced that he wanted to be a dictator on “the first day” of a new Trump administration.
The ad warns Americans in the starkest terms about a second Trump term.
The ad starts with a recording of an alarm clock going off at 6:00 a.m.
Next, the ad shows a clip of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) shown inside an old TV, warning Americans during an interview.
“This isn’t hyperbole,” she claimed. “A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in.”
“He’s a threat to democracy,” Trump’s Secretary of Defense Mark Esper states in another clip.

In his latest attempt to depict President Joe Biden as an authoritarian, Donald Trump turned to the words of Vladimir Putin at a rally in Durham, New Hampshire.
At the rally, Trump quoted Putin, “Even Vladimir Putin … says that Biden’s, and this is a quote, politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.”
Trump also took pride in the praise he received from Viktor Orbán, the authoritarian prime minister of Hungary, who referred to Trump as the savior of the Western world.
Trump further mentioned his amicable relationship with Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator, and stated that Kim has a favorable view of him despite his disapproval of the current administration.

In a joint news conference with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky this week, President Joe Biden made clear to Republicans that if the U.S. refuses to extend further aid to Ukraine, it would be a huge win for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Biden emphasized that failure to approve additional funding for Ukraine would not only embolden Putin but also jeopardize Ukraine’s journey towards “[Becoming] proud, free and firmly rooted in the West.” He stressed, “History will judge harshly those who turn their back on freedoms — because today Ukraine’s freedom is on the line, but if we don’t stop putting people in danger, it’s the freedom of everyone almost everywhere.”
On Russian state TV, one commentator said, “Well done Republicans, they are standing firm.”
While another said, “What’s happening in the U.S. is beneficial to us. Russia is winning. Ukraine is losing. This is it...

Carlson officially announced the direct-to-consumer service, at tuckercarlson.com, in a post Saturday on X (formerly Twitter). After he was fired in April 2023 from Fox News Channel, where he had been a fixture for more than a decade, Carlson has been producing a right-wing talk show distributed on Elon Musk’s X.
“Hey, it’s Tucker Carlson! We’ve been out of work for seven or eight months now.

Controversial, far-right politician Geert Wilders could be on track to become the Netherlands’ next prime minister following a surprise victory in general elections overnight.
Preliminary figures showed that Wilders’ right-wing Freedom Party (Pvv) has gained 37 seats, putting it ahead of the GreenLeft-Labour party (Gl/Pvda) alliance with 25 seats and the liberal-conservative Freedom and Democracy Party (Vvd) with 25 seats.
The result marks a dramatic change in political fortunes for Wilders, whose Pvv party won just 17 seats in snap elections in 2021, following the collapse of a coalition government led by Mark Rutte.
Wilders’ controversial policies include an extreme clampdown on immigration; a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, or “Nexit”, and Islamophobic measures including the suppression of Islamic schools, the Koran and mosques, although he cannot put the latter ambition in motion under Dutch laws protecting freedom of religion and expression.

On Saturday, former President Donald Trump once again confused President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama, at least the seventh occurrence of such a mix-up in recent months.
These repeated gaffes by Trump, 77, have made him a target of criticism. It’s a line of attack more commonly used against Biden, 80.
In a speech in New Hampshire on Saturday, Trump shared an anecdote about an interview with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, where he mistakenly stated that Orban had been asked, “What would you advise President Obama? The whole world seems to be exploding.”
Trump’s confusion between Obama and Biden has occurred numerous times in the last two months.
At a rally in Ottumwa, Iowa, on October 1, he referenced Obama when he meant Biden.
During a Fox News Radio interview on October 11, Trump made the same error twice.

Seth Meyers kicked off his “A Closer Look” segment with a very serious moment as he discussed what the 2024 presidential race is going to look like. But, in keeping with the spirit of Halloween, it ended up being a slight trick on viewers.
“There’s something we have to discuss, and it’s not comfortable, but it’s reality,” Meyers said solemnly at the start of the Monday night segment. “A man who is once again running for president, and could once again hold the most powerful office in the world, is very obviously in cognitive decline.”
A graphic of President Biden was put up in the corner of the screen as Meyers continued teeing things up, and he very much made it seem like he might be referring to Biden with the next few sentences.
“I don’t like saying it, but we have to face the facts,” Meyers continued.

During a campaign speech in New Hampshire, Donald Trump appeared to have confused two world leaders on Monday.
“There’s a man, Viktor Orbán, did anyone ever hear of him?” Trump asked the crowd. “He’s probably, like, one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. He’s the leader of Turkey.”
Turkey’s president is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while Orbán is the prime minister of Hungary.

Donald Trump has returned to an old favorite insult, calling NBC and MSNBC an “enemy of the people” once again on Monday. As a result, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough argued on Tuesday that, at this point, “it’s not a reach” to liken Trump to Hitler “without any concerns whatsoever.”
In yet another angry screed on Truth Social, Trump wrote that if he were to win re-election, he would likely start charging organizations like NBC to be on the air, and investigate them for their “Country Threatening Treason.” To that, Scarborough only scoffed.
Homing in on the fact that Trump “says that the news network that is most critical of him should be taken off the air,” Scarborough immediately likened Trump to Hitler.
“This is not a reach, I can go back and talk about Nazi Germany and I do it without any concerns whatsoever,” Scarborough said. “And if...

On the surface, it looks like any other teenage love story: Abel, an absent-minded high-school student in Budapest, hopelessly pines for his best friend, Erika, dreamily staring out the classroom window when the teacher calls his name. On the day of his final exam, he draws a blank: Rather than bury his head in his history books, Abel’s had his head in the clouds.
But an off-hand comment by one of his examiners, about the tricolor ribbon pinned to his lapel — a nationalist symbol in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary — sparks a controversy that soon snowballs into a nationwide scandal. For Hungarian filmmaker Gábor Reisz, the director of “Explanation for Everything,” the debate cuts to the heart of a question that has increasingly dominated public discourse in his country since the rise of the right-wing prime minister: “Are you a real Hungarian?”

Inside the cathedral his five children, Marina, Pier Silvio, Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi, and his 34-year-old girlfriend Marta Fascina, shed tears as the casket was placed in front of the altar and the Archbishop of Milan, Monsignor Mario Delpini, began the service.

Eight months after Italy took a sharp turn to the right, the government headed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – whose Brothers of Italy party has neo-fascist roots – is wreaking havoc at state broadcaster Rai, prompting the abrupt exit of several executives and TV personalities and causing alarm within the country’s film and TV sectors.
At Rai, where politics have always held sway, managing director Carlo Fuortes resigned earlier this month saying he was unwilling to “agree to changes” in the broadcaster’s content and programming “that I do not consider to be in Rai’s best interests,” he underlined.
Fuortes has now been replaced by Roberto Sergio, a veteran Rai executive who is considered basically bi-partisan. The pubcaster’s new general director, instead, is former Rai board member Giampaolo Rossi, who is backed by Meloni’s Brothers of Italy and is known for his controversial tweets and support of Vladimir Putin,...

A newly introduced Texas House bill proposes property tax cuts for couples who get married, stay married, and have lots of children. There’s a catch though. In order to qualify for the tax benefit, couples need to be heterosexual, never divorced, and their children born or adopted after their date of marriage. LGBTQ couples, single parents, divorced parents, and blended families will not qualify for full benefits.
H.B. 2889 would provide qualifying couples with a 40 percent property tax reduction if they have four children, with the tax break increasing for every additional child.

Israel’s newly appointed Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar has lashed out against Israeli filmmaker David Wachsmann’s award-winning documentary Two Kids A Day, probing the country’s detention of Palestinian children in the West Bank, and is threatening to take back its state funding.
The minister, who took up office in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new hard-right government at the end of December, has criticized the work for presenting Israeli Defence Forces (Idf) soldiers “as those who harm children, while terrorists are presented as innocent victims”.
Zohar said he had requested Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to investigate whether it would be possible to retroactively take back state money given to the film for its production.

Frontline directors Tom Jennings and Annie Wong were hard at work on a documentary about Viktor Orbán in Hungary when Russia abruptly invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022. Suddenly, Jennings, Wong and a journalist from the Associated Press that they were collaborating with — investigative reporter Erika Kinetz — were the team at Frontline that was closest to the biggest story in the world. Without any prior experience reporting in Ukraine, the three reporters pivoted and began figuring out how to get into country and start filming.
“We just had to really turn quickly because the stories that were coming out in those first couple weeks just couldn’t be ignored,” Wong recalls. Adds Jennings, “It was very evident from the very beginning that there were war crimes,” which “became our focal point right from the get-go.”

Frontline directors Tom Jennings and Annie Wong were hard at work on a documentary about Viktor Orbán in Hungary when Russia abruptly invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022. Suddenly, Jennings, Wong and a journalist from the Associated Press that they were collaborating with — investigative reporter Erika Kinetz — were the team at Frontline that was closest to the biggest story in the world. Without any prior experience reporting in Ukraine, the three reporters pivoted and began figuring out how to get into country and start filming.

Roger Waters does not want you to ignore his politics. The 79-year-old’s This Is Not A Drill Tour opens with Waters imitating a plummy British announcer and telling the audience: “If you’re one of those ‘I love Pink Floyd but I can’t stand Roger’s politics’ people, you might do well to fuck off to the bar, right now. Thank you, and please enjoy the show.”
Waters certainly has a lot of politics. He is a vocal supporter of a free Palestine and Black Lives Matter, and...

Updated: The victory of right-wing politician Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party in Italian general elections on Sunday has been confirmed as results continued to roll in on Monday morning.
As of 11:14 am local time, Brothers of Italy had clinched a 26.1 share of the vote for both the lower house and senate.
“The electorate has shown they want a center-right government led by the Brothers of Italy,” Meloni said in a short speech in the early hours of Monday morning, as exit polls and projections pointed to victory for her party.
Meloni is expected to take on the role of Italy’s first female prime minister and form Italy’s most right-wing government since World War Two with Matteo Salvini’s far-right League, Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia, and the smaller Noi Moderati party.
The League and Forza Italia’s results were far from stellar,...

Jordan Klepper, a man who has had a front row seat to the Maga circus over the past few years, doesn’t often look surprised when he’s on the road – he’s heard all of the conspiracy theories and complaints.
But at a Donald Trump rally in June, he looked genuinely flabbergasted when a couple of young women seemingly had no knowledge of what happened on January 6, 2021 (see clip below).
“There’s definitely a surprise to be found at every Trump event,” Klepper tells Deadline. “I wish I could say that we went to these places, and we were fishing for people, but that’s not the case, we only talk to anybody who would like to talk to us. More often than not, people want to come in and talk to us. But the fact that they had never heard of January 6, even the terminology around insurrection was...

The Conservative Political Action Conference opened its arms to one of Europe’s most notorious autocrats on Thursday, giving Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán a prime speaking slot on the first day of the prominent right-wing gathering. Orbán, who recently won reelection for a fourth term in office, has led a nationalist regime predicated on racism, seizing control of the press, and catering to the powerful. In other words, it’s exactly what Republicans want for the United States.
Orbán spoke for just over 30 minutes on Thursday, railing against taxation,...

“Someone smarter than me said, ‘You need to get outside this country to get perspective on it.’ And so we started hearing Hungary pop up in conversation,” says Jordan Klepper about the impetus for his special “The Daily Show Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers the Globe – Hungary for Democracy.” The Conservative Political Action Conference was hosting an event in the country, “so we decided, let’s see if we can go to Budapest as well and see what it is about Hungary that conservatives here in America are so giddy about.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Klepper above.

The 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference will play host to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The most influential Republican ideas conference lending the podium to Europe’s most notorious nationalist is yet another troubling sign of the right’s embrace of authoritarianism.
Orbán, who recently won reelection for his fourth term as Hungary’s prime minister, has become a darling of the American right by transforming Hungary into an autocratic regime through aggressive nationalist policymaking and the use of executive power to curb criticism and opposition.

“Well, Jordan and I will look at a map and then try to figure out where the show will pay for us to go that we really want to go,” says Ian Berger. He’s a supervising producer and segment director for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and the co-executive producer, co-writer, and director of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Presents: Jordan Klepper Fingers The Globe – Hungary for Democracy.” It’s not hard to see why they picked Hungary as their destination; it has become American conservatives’ model for how to roll back democracy here at home. Watch out exclusive video interview above.
“I started finding articles about this connection between the American conservative party and their interest in Hungary,” Berger explains. At first he didn’t think much of it, but “then I found out this young Republicans group endorsed [Hungarian president] Viktor Orban, which sounded weird. And then...

On the outskirts of Budapest, a big-budget period drama is recreating the fateful day that sparked the Hungarian war of independence in 1848. Construction is underway at the state-owned Mafilm studio complex on a massive set that will stand in for the Hungarian capital in the 19th century. With 100-plus shooting days planned through September, director Balázs Lóth describes “Now or Never!” as “the most ambitious Hungarian film ever made.”
That ambition is being matched by Hungary’s National Film Institute, which awarded “Now or Never!” a 12.5 million production grant — the largest amount given to a feature film since the fall of communism in 1989.
It’s the second big swing on a splashy historical drama taken by the Nfi in the past year, after it awarded 29 million to “Rise of the Raven,” an epic drama series produced by Robert Lantos’ Serendipity Point Films (“Crimes of the Future”) and Beta Film (“Gomorrah...

Tucker Carlson on Wednesday aired the latest episode of his Fox Nation documentary series, a 25-minute film titled “Hungary vs. Soros: The Fight for Civilization.”
It’s about what you’d expect.

Donald Trump has handed out a slew of political endorsements ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. He delivered another big one on Monday, officially lending his support to … Hungarian Prime Minister and ascendant autocrat Viktor Orban.
“Viktor Orban of Hungary truly loves his Country and wants safety for his people,” the former president wrote. “He has done a powerful and wonderful job in protecting Hungary, stopping illegal immigration, creating jobs, trade, and should be allowed to continue to do so in the upcoming election. He is a strong leader and is respected by all.

When producer Robert Lantos began developing the big-budget historical drama series “Rise of the Raven,” adapting Hungarian author Bán Mór’s series of bestselling novels presented obvious challenges. “It’s an 11-volume novel, each volume being 500-600 pages long,” says Lantos. It took several writers and the better part of a decade to find a way forward, something the producer describes as “finding a creative solution to a jigsaw puzzle.”
With a budget that Lantos describes as “competitive with English-language productions of that scope and that size,” financing the series was the second challenge, with the producer determined to secure the majority of the show’s financing from the host country. “It’s ambitious. It’s certainly by far the biggest thing done in that part of the world, not just in Hungary,” he says. The last puzzle piece finally fell into place when Hungary’s National Film Institute (Nfi...

Mari Törőcsik, one of Hungary’s leading actors, died on Friday, at the age of 85, in Budapest after a long illness. She won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival, and appeared in two Oscar nominated films.
Törőcsik’s first international appearance was in 1956 at Cannes, where she starred in Zoltán Fábri’s Palme d’Or competitor “Körhinta” (Merry-Go-Round), playing a country girl in love with a peasant boy, battling against the opposition of her father to the relationship.
During the festival, Francois Truffaut, who was then a journalist with the weekly Arts, said he would have given her the best actress award, and Jean Cocteau also praised her performance. Truffaut wrote: “Without the 20-year-old artist knowing it, she was the biggest star of the festival.”
Since then she has played more than 100 roles. She worked with directors Fábri, Miklós Jancsó, Márta Mészáros and Károly Makk on multiple occasions.

The most defining and far-reaching decision made by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her 15 years in office is the focus of a new film making its debut at Berlin’s European Film Market.
“Merkel — Anatomy of a Crisis,” directed by Stephen Wagner, stars Imogen Kogge as the German leader during the dramatic days leading up to her decision in 2015 to allow nearly a million refugees, mostly from war-torn Syria, to enter Germany.
“We can consider this the most important political weeks of Angela Merkel’s life as chancellor,” says Alexander van Dülmen, who produced the film with Wagner via their Potsdam-based company Carte Blanche International.
Penned by Florian Oeller, “Merkel” is based on journalist Robin Alexander’s 2017 bestselling book “The Driven Ones” (“Die Getriebenen”) and examines the political wrangling among Merkel’s cabinet members and European actors like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as they struggle to deal with a...

Washington — Viktor Orbán couldn’t have scripted it any better if he’d tried.
Seated next to President Trump in a gold-colored chair in the Oval Office, the Hungarian prime minister listened intently as the leader of the free world sang his praises to a throng of journalists, photographers and TV cameramen. “Highly respected. Respected all over Europe,” Trump said of Orbán. “Probably, like me, a little bit controversial, but that’s Ok.”

Some period films come across as homages to classics of the past, while others play perilously on the edge of imitation. “Budapest Noir” definitely falls in the latter category, channeling any number of noir films, including “Chinatown,” with the usual stock figures: hard-boiled investigative reporter, femme fatale, corrupt officials, sleazy underbelly, and an urban landscape used as if it’s one of the main characters. It’s a tried-and-true formula, but to make it work there needs to be more than an ounce of originality, which editor-turned-director Éva Gárdos (“An American Rhapsody”) has a hard time locating in either András Szekér’s script or her own direction. Instead, the movie feels like the pilot for a period detective series, which might not be far from the truth since Vilmos Kondor’s novel launched fictional newshound Zsigmond Gordon as a recurring character.
