24:13Now PlayingWhat is the meaning of empire? Ta-Nehisi Coates commiserates with Hasan Minhaj about living unaware of American imperialism for too long, and Dr. Van Jackson explains why coming to consciousness about empire was key to his personal political awakening. The UAE is facilitating a genocide in Sudan, and it's doing so as a sub-imperial power of the United States. Left-populist candidates won 11 out of 18 electoral campaigns this week, ushering in a wave that will transform American politics one way or another.
