0:00.0	I've been saying for years that Putin was our problem, but eventually it will be everybody's problem,
0:05.2	because that's what I read in the books about other dictators.
0:15.6	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.
0:20.8	On this episode we'll be talking to my friend Gary Kasparov. He is a Russian chess
0:25.2	grandmaster, former world chess champion, he's a writer, a political activist,
0:30.0	and many people consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time. And now he's fighting
0:35.4	another battle in a different game against Vladimir Putin. And one thing I try to do in this interview,
0:41.2	I hope you all agree, I try to give Gary plenty of space to answer questions and explain the
0:45.2	situation in Russia and explain his own mindsets and his ways of thinking. And far too many
0:50.1	interviewers and journalists seem obsessed with showing other people how smart they are,
0:54.8	how much they know about this situation. I've tried very very hard not to do that here. I hope it
0:58.9	shows and makes for a better discussion. And if you're not familiar with the Russian situation of
1:03.4	a Soviet Union situation, I still think you'll enjoy the heck out of this interview. Gary is brilliant,
1:08.4	he's a great thinker, he's a very high performer, of course. There are so many interesting stories
1:12.4	in this one as well. And if you're a specialist in this area, I hope you'll find this discussion
1:17.0	interesting as I've tried to hit on different angles about what makes Gary such a unique individual,
1:21.3	both in Russian politics and in general and holds a special place on the world stage, especially
1:27.0	right now. His books are winter is coming and deep thinking and today we're going to learn a lot
1:32.2	about what it takes to become a chess champion, what can be applied or what can't be applied from
1:36.7	chess to politics and the situation that we're dealing with with authoritarian governments today in
1:42.4	Russia and around the world. So enjoy this episode as much as we did here with Gary Kasparov.
1:51.0	You know, Gary, it's funny in the beginning of this interview, you had mentioned,
