=== Courageous Souls Defying Putin (03:56) ===

[00:00:00]  So Alexei Navalny, who was an associate vice president, he was next to the president of Russia, a young, vibrant, freedom-loving Russian, has been killed by Putin's people because he was anti-Putin.
[00:00:25]  In America, we only jail opponents.
[00:00:28]  There they kill them.
[00:00:30]  So we're not yet, the left in America has not yet reached Putin-esque levels of oppression.
[00:00:39]  And I'm not being cute.
[00:00:41]  I'm not exaggerating.
[00:00:43]  We now jail political opponents and, in fact, even potential candidates like Trump.
[00:00:52]  We are moving in the direction of Putin.
[00:00:58]  And of various left-wing regimes.
[00:01:01]  I don't know what you call Putin.
[00:01:03]  Is he right or left?
[00:01:04]  He's a dictator.
[00:01:07]  And if you get too popular as an opponent, you will probably die.
[00:01:12]  Alexei Navalny died.
[00:01:17]  Only God knows what they did to him.
[00:01:24]  Navalny's of the world give me strength.
[00:01:28]  Because I take on stuff that's not popular.
[00:01:32]  There's a massive amount of hate directed at me on the internet.
[00:01:38]  And I sleep perfectly fine.
[00:01:42]  I'm not suffering what Navalny suffered.
[00:01:48]  Beast people, good people, and there aren't many good and courageous people.
[00:01:54]  He went back to Russia, that's right.
[00:01:57]  Where was he living at the time?
[00:01:58]  In the West.
[00:02:01]  He went back knowing that he would be arrested and probably killed.
[00:02:08]  There is a great Jewish legend called the Legend of the 36. And here is the legend.
[00:02:16]  That at any time on Earth there were 36 really righteous people thanks to whom the world continues to exist.
[00:02:26]  And if it ever got down to 35 or less, the world would implode.
[00:02:33]  It is a terrific...
[00:02:35]  You should read The Last of the Just as a major novel on this subject.
[00:02:40]  It came out like half a century ago, if not more.
[00:02:46]  The Last of the Just.
[00:02:51]  There's brilliance to that legend.
[00:02:55]  A certain number of courageous people keep the world going.
[00:03:00]  The evil would win everything were it not for them.
[00:03:07]  Alexei Navalny is one such example.
[00:03:16]  I have said many, many times and written, "My sanity preserver." Is the belief in a just God and an afterlife.
[00:03:28]  Because there's so little justice in this life.
[00:03:33]  My sanity keeper is that there is justice meted out in the next.
[00:03:40]  Otherwise, it's too despairing, this life.
[00:03:50]  May he rest in peace.
[00:03:51]  May he be rewarded by the good, just God that I believe in.
