So this is one of those stories that starts far away.

But then it comes right here, right home at the end.

So stick with me.

All right, you might remember a few weeks ago, we showed you images, kind of overwhelming

protest shots from Europe, from Serbia.

Do you remember this?

Serbia has a president that is kind of their version of Donald Trump.

And protests against him like this have been sweeping that country.

They started small, and week after week, they just grew and grew to the point where,

frankly, it has become hard to imagine that that

Serbian president is going to be able to stay in office, given the size and the breadth

of the opposition to him in his country and their persistence at saying that he must go.

These massive, very impressive, repeated protests in Serbia are also,

I think a good reminder for us and for everybody around the world that part of the reason it's

not good to have a strong man leader. Part of the reason you really don't want your country

turned into some version of an authoritarian dictatorship is because authoritarian to have a strong man leader. Part of the reason you really don't want your country turned

into some version of an authoritarian dictatorship is because authoritarian and dictators are always,

always corrupt. Why do you think they want to get rid of the rule of law anyway, right?

So they don't have to abide by the law because they're crooks. Always and everywhere, dictators and authoritarian are stealing from the people.

They are crooks.

They are corrupt.

It is an axiom.
