This is a wonderful presentation and a moving story.

The man is a sociopath. He has not feeling. He speaks way to fast, and does not wait to see the audience is moved by his comments. He is simply spouting the words that need to be said.

He probably beats his wife.

I don't understand clearly maybe he sad "jó napot pacák". It's "good day dude" The great Hungarian's era is over and it will never come back.
