In this episode of We The Patriots Podcast, Sal Assante examines the eerie similarities between the decline of the Roman Empire and today's American political landscape. We explore how the Roman Republic's influence is reflected in the U.S. Constitution, the growth of executive power, and the importance of maintaining checks and balances.

The conversation delves into the dangers of emergency powers, the sway of wealth in politics, and what these historical lessons mean for the future of democracy in America. Are we witnessing the erosion of democratic principles, or can we learn from the past?
