SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON IS JOINING ME.

YOU VERY QUICKLY TWEETED -- THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US ON THIS DAY -- YOUR CONDOLENCES, NOT ONLY TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT TO THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA.

YOU WERE SENDING A MESSAGE.

>> I WAS.

I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW NAVALNY'S WIFE AND DAUGHTER.

I HAVE GOTTEN TO WORK WITH A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND HIM, EXPOSING CORRUPTION, PUTTING TOGETHER AN OPPOSITION AGENDA TO PUTIN.

IT WAS SO TRAGIC TO HEAR THAT HE HAS BEEN KILLED.

THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND -- I KNOW PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST MADE A STATEMENT BASED ON THE INTELLIGENCE AVAILABLE TO OUR GOVERNMENT, THAT HIS DEATH IS A RESULT OF PUTIN'S BRUTALITY.

IT IS A TRAGEDY FOR RUSSIA THAT SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AND REALLY REPRESENT A DIFFERENT FUTURE FOR RUSSIA SHOULD BE KILLED.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY ON VIDEO YESTERDAY, FROM THE PRISON, DOING SOME KIND OF A LEGAL APPEARANCE.

HE LOOKED HEALTHY.

HE WAS HIS USUAL CONFIDENT JOKE-CRACKING SELF.

HIS WIFE AND OTHERS WHO SAW THAT VIDEO YESTERDAY WERE QUITE REASSURED THAT HE WAS OKAY.

THEN WE GET THIS TERRIBLE NEWS TODAY.

>> I WANT TO READ WHAT YOU CHOSE OF HIM TO PUT OUT IN YOUR TWEET.

THIS IS ALEXEI NAVALNY.

I HAVE SOMETHING VERY OBVIOUS TO TELL YOU.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE UP.

IF THEY DECIDE TO KILL ME, IT MEANS THAT WE ARE INCREDIBLY STRONG.

THAT WAS HIM KIND OF DEATH FORETOLD AND TRY TO TELL HIS PEOPLE, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE.

YOU HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU WERE SECRETARY OF STATE WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN, WITH ELECTIONS THERE, THE WHOLE ATTEMPT AT SOME KIND OF DEMOCRACY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS TODAY?

WHAT ROOM IS THERE IN RUSSIA ANYMORE FOR THAT?

>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AND WHO BELIEVE THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE DESERVE A LOT BETTER THAN THEY ARE GETTING UNDER PUTIN AND HIS CRONIES TAKE TO HEART WHAT NAVALNY SAID IN THAT QUOTE THAT I USED IN RESPONDING TO HIS DEATH, BECAUSE CHANGE DOESN'T HAPPEN EASILY.

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE WE WANT IT.

IT HAPPENS BECAUSE YEAR AFTER YEAR, STRONG PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO SAY, THIS IS WRONG, WE DESERVE BETTER.

HONESTLY, I THINK WHAT HE IS ALLUDING TO IN THAT COMMENT IS, IT SHOWS WEAKNESS.

HE WENT BACK TO RUSSIA.

THE FILM ABOUT HIM GOING BACK AND PUTIN'S FIRST ATTEMPT TO MURDER HIM BY POISON AND HOW HE MIRACULOUSLY RECOVERED, THANKS TO GERMAN MEDICAL TREATMENT AND WE ARE HERE IN MUNICH.

THIS FILM, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, YOU SHOULD SEE IT.

IT WON THE ACADEMY AWARD THE IT SHOWS A MAN TRULY ENGAGED AT EVERY LEVEL, EVERY CELL OF HIS BODY IN TRYING TO STAND UP FOR WHAT RUSSIA COULD BE.

HE WAS ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT.

IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A DEATH FORETOLD, BUT AN AWARENESS OF THE RISK HE WAS TAKING.

THIS IS A MESSAGE ALSO FOR PEOPLE IN EUROPE AND IN THE UNITED STATES PARTICULARLY WHO THINK THAT YOU CAN SOMEHOW MAKE A DEAL WITH PUTIN, THAT YOU CAN LET DOWN YOUR DEFENSES WHEN SOMEONE WHO IS AS BRUTAL, A DICTATOR, AND TENDS TO DOMINATE.

IF THAT MEANS KILLING YOUR OPPOSITION, AS HE HAS DONE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE OVER SO MANY YEARS, OR INVADING A PEACEFUL NEIGHBOR AND TRYING TO BEND IT TO HIS WILL, THAT'S WHAT HE WILL DO.

>> YOU LEAD ME INTO BEFORE THIS DEATH, THE REAL QUESTIONS HERE AS I ALLUDED D WAS CAN UKRAINE SURVIVE ANOTHER YEAR, WILL THE UNIT UNITED STATES STEP UP AND BE A LEADER OF NATO?

PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID THIS WEEK, SUPPORTING THIS BILL, THE ONE FOR FOREIGN AID, IS STANDING UP TO PUTIN, OPPOSING IT IS PLAYING INTO PUTIN'S HANDS.

YOU ARE A FORMER SENATOR.

THE SENATE CAME KICKING AND SCREAM, BUT THEY PASSED IT.

THE HOUSE HASN'T PASSED IT.

WHERE DO YOU THINK IN THE POLITICAL REALM THIS IS GO GOING?

>> ONE THING I KNOW, IF THIS WERE PUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE, IT WOULD PASS.

IT WOULD PASS OVERWHELMINGLY.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PREVENTING IT, STARTING WITH THE SPEAKER, MIKE JOHNSON, ARE NOT DOING AMERICA'S BUSINESS.

THEY ARE DOING DONALD TRUMP'S BUSINESS.

DONALD TRUMP IS A WANT-TO-BE DICTATOR.

HE SAID THE OTHER DAY, LET'S GET OUT OF NATO AND ENCOURAGE PUTIN TO DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

HOW ABSURD A STATEMENT THAT IS, CANNOT EVEN BE MEASURED, BECAUSE YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY GIVING A GREEN LIGHT TO A MURDEROUS, BRUTAL DICTATOR.

NOBODY WHO IS SIDING WITH TRUMP ON THIS ISSUE WOULD WANT TO LIVE
