Litkai Gergely: Hungary Caught Between Russian Oil & EU Money I 270

Hungarian comedy legend Litkai Gergely joins us to explain the rise and reign of Hungarian strong-man Prime Minister Viktor Orban. PM Orban was just reelected in April to a third 4-year term, although he currently finds himself on shakier ground than ever as he can't survive without the financial support of the EU and the oil and gas support from Russia.Our guest Litkai Gergely not only founded his Hungary's first stand-up comedy club, he also created Comedy Central Hungary, Comedy Central Poland, Comedy Central Serbia and expanded Comedy Central to many other countries throughout Eastern Europe. Oh, and also he is a lawyer! His stand-up clips have amassed millions of views on YouTube.
