On today’s program, Nomiki Konst speaks with Edward J. Watts, Alkiviadis Vassiliadis Endowed Chair and Professor of History at UCSD, about whether or not there are any parallels to be drawn between the fall of the Roman Empire and the trajectory of the American Empire, and if so, what are they and what lessons can be learned from history? They also discuss Prof. Watts’ recent book The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea.

Next Nomiki is joined by contributor to The Intercept Matthew Cunningham-Cook to talk about Nina Turner’s campaign for Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, how the Establishment thwarted a true fighter for the people, and what we as a movement can take away from this moving forward.
