## Transcript

I am deeply concerned about reports coming from Russia. I'll let you know all the facts has to be established on the Russia has serious questions to answer. Alexei navalny has been a strong voice for freedom for a democracy for many years and the Nathan is LaLa's cuz I have called for his immediate release for a long time. Today my thoughts. Go to his sermons his family and his son and we remain committed to support everyone that believes in democracy and freedom as Sir Alex Alexei navalny has done for so many years. I'm slack to a horn filled with hot tubs in ghost-mode in this apartment and I'm leaving if it's not an Occam's Canelo beat Houston last Oscar and Reggie missed the most interceptions in Clinton.

I think I'm growing them fight all the time. She scheduled me to this new job is. Just going through the reports from Russia of Alexei navalny is death in prison. For more than a decade. Russian government Putin the persecuted poison and imprisoned Alexei navalny and now reports of his death. First and foremost if these reports are accurate. Our hearts go out to his wife and his family. Beyond. His death in a Russian prison and the fixation and fear of one man. Only underscores the weakness and rot at the heart of the system that Putin has built. Russia is responsible for this. We'll be talkin to.

Many other countries concerned about Alexei navalny, especially these reports bear out to be true, but I gave up everything in campaigning for what he believed in my heart goes out to his wife and to his family about what has happened to Putin's Russia imprisoned him trumped-up charges against him poisoned him send him to a optic penal colony. And now he's tragically died and we should hold Putin accountable for a new one should be in any doubt about the Dreadful nature of Putin's regime in Russia. After what has just happened to be consequences for what that should be consequences because this man was Brave fight against corruption for justice for democracy and look what Putin's Russia did to him.

They trumped up charges. They imprisoned him they poisoned in they sent him to Antarctica. I need a tent that is because of the action the Putin's Russia took no one can look at this regime that and not recognize it for the truly Dreadful nature that it has.
