Garry Kasparov: Fight for Liberty | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
Garry Kasparov on Bill Maher
11/17/2018 – On Friday American comedian, talk show host
and political agitator had, for the third time at least, former World
Champion Garry Kasparov on his show.
Kasparov, who lives in quasi-exile
in New York, is a ferocious critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin,
and in recent years has been equally critical of the US President Donald
Trump.

You probably know Bill Maher. He is an American TV talk show host and political commentator who in 1993 started a show called Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central (and then on ABC).
In 2003 he switched to HBO and has hosted the political talk show Real Time with Bill Maher until today. Maher is famous for his comedic skills, his sarcasm, satire and political commentary.
He is known as a vocal critic of creeping political correctness, of bureaucracy, religion, and currently of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Maher supports LGBT rights and same-sex marriage, as well as the legalisation of marihuana. In 2010 he received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
You certainly know Garry Kasparov: born in Azerbaijan, 13th World Chess Champion, dominated the chess world for decades, retired in 2005, etc.
He now lives in New York and is chairman for the Human Rights Foundation. Kasparov is a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin — which is clear from his book Winter is Coming.
Since 2016 his ire has also been directed at US President Donald Trump.
Kasparov has an article in Fight for Liberty, a newly published book (October 2018) that makes an urgent case for liberal democracy — reinvigorating its central values in an age of doubt and discord.
On Friday Kasparov was on Real Time with Bill Maher, the
last show before a two-month pause. He was quick-witted and eloquent,
and displayed an astonishing degree of knowledge about US politics,
including the Midterm Elections:
