Opponents Behind Bars

| 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. | |
| In America, we only jail opponents. | |
| There they kill them. | |
| So we're not yet, the left in America has not yet reached Putin-esque levels of oppression. | |
| And I'm not being cute. | |
| I'm not exaggerating. | |
| We now jail political opponents and, in fact, even potential candidates like Trump. | |
| We are moving in the direction of Putin and of various left-wing regimes. | |
| I don't know what you call Putin. | |
| Is he right or left? | |
| He's a dictator. | |
| And if you get too popular as an opponent, you will probably die. | |
| Alexei Navalny died. | |
| Only God knows what they did to him. | |
| Navalny's of the world give me strength. | |
| Because I take on stuff that's not popular. | |
| There's a massive amount of hate directed at me on the internet. | |
| And I sleep perfectly fine. | |
| I'm not suffering what Navalny suffered. | |
| These people, good people, and there aren't many good and courageous people. | |
| He went back to Russia. | |
| He went back to Russia, that's right. | |
| Where was he living at the time? | |

The Legend of 36 Righteous Ones

|
| Was it England or someplace like that? | |
| In the West. | |
| He went back knowing that he would be arrested and probably killed. | |
| There is a great Jewish legend called The Legend of the 36. | |
| And here is the legend that at any time on earth there were 36 really righteous people, thanks to whom the world continues to exist. | |
| And if it ever got down to 35 or less, the world would implode. | |
| It is a terrific, you should read The Last of the Just as a major novel on the subject. | |
| It came out like half a century ago, if not more. | |
| The Last of the Just. | |
| There's brilliance to that legend. | |
| A certain number of courageous people keep the world going. | |
| The evil would win everything were it not for them. | |
| Alexei Navalny is one such example. | |
| I have said many, many times and written, my sanity preserver is the belief in a just God and an afterlife. | |
| Because there's so little justice in this life. | |
| My sanity keeper is that there is justice meted out in the next. | |
| Otherwise, it's too despairing this life. | |
| May he rest in peace. | |
