Garry Kasparov is a chess grandmaster and Chairman of the Renew Democracy Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to defending liberal democracies worldwide. He joins Preet to discuss:

• Trump’s plans to consolidate power within the Executive Branch
• The need for change within the Democratic Party
• What normalcy might look like in four years
• How Trump may impact Russia’s war in Ukraine
• Strategies for surviving political exhaustion

Plus, will Matt Gaetz be the new Attorney General? Will the Department of Education be dismantled? And, can Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg convince judge Merchan not to dismiss Trump’s Manhattan criminal conviction?
