Special Episode: Racism, Fascism, & the New Book "The Bittersweet Science"

Dr. Gerald Horne offers his insights and historical perspective on the fascist-led mob that seized temporary control of the Capitol Building and dispersed Congress for hours in an effort to alter the 2020 election outcome. Professor Gerald Horne originally sat down for a conversation with Brian about his latest book "The Bittersweet Science -- Racism, Racketeering, the Political Economy of Boxing." This episode covers both topics and draws the connection between racism, fascism and capitalism.
