Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and democracy activist, initiates a new series exploring global complacency with liberal values and the resultant rise of authoritarianism. In the trailer, notable figures express concern over a growing hostility from autocrats and the vulnerability of democracies, including America. Kasparov recounts his experiences that shaped his understanding of freedom, emphasizing the urgent need to combat the decline in democratic ideals and the spread of fascism. New episodes will begin airing on Fridays starting July 11, focusing on these critical issues.
For dictators, for the Islamic Republic, for Putin, for all the autocratic regime, America is first. Their first target is the destruction of American values.
But in the decades that followed, we've seen the steady advance of autocratic regimes, a new belligerence from dictators and autocrats worldwide, and democracies in retreat.
Even America, a beacon of hope to me and for countless millions of others, has shown itself vulnerable to the virus of authoritarianism and corruption.
I'm trying to be diplomatic. I'm the host of the show.
