1:28:07Now PlayingOn The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 2/13 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests:
Ashish Prashar, a Political strategist and former advisor to the Middle East peace envoy joins the show to discuss how Trump is pushing to ethnically cleanse Gaza by forcing the 2.3 million Palestinian residents into Jordan and Egypt. Both countries have rejected the plan, fearing it would destabilize their nations, but Trump is threatening to cut billions in US aid to pressure them. Prashar will break down Trump’s meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and the growing tensions in the region over Trump's genocidal plan.
Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, the dancer who made global headlines for unfurling the Palestinian and Sudanese flags during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, joins the show to discuss his bold act of protest. Nantambu will share the motivation behind his powerful statement on one of the world’s biggest stages – a move that has inspired many around the globe to take action.
Thapelo Mohapi, General Secretary of Abahlali baseMjondolo Movement SA, joins the show to expose how far-right groups in South Africa, backed by figures like Elon Musk, have fueled Trump’s executive order freezing aid to the country by spreading lies about "white persecution." Mohapi will break down how this move, rooted in racism and misinformation, threatens South Africa’s sovereignty and punishes the poor, while also targeting the country for its bold stance supporting Palestine at the ICJ.
Johan Grimonprez, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat, joins the show to discuss his riveting film on the 1960s collision of African politics and American jazz. The film exposes the U.S.-backed coup that led to Patrice Lumumba’s assassination and reveals how jazz was used as propaganda to mask imperialist interventions—a story that resonates powerfully in today’s geopolitical climate.
Katie Leonard, an organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Denver, joins the show to discuss how Aurora, Colorado, has become a flashpoint in the fight against Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Leonard will explain how in response to Aurora emerging as a right-wing epicenter of anti-migrant hysteria– residents, together with organizers, are rallying to fight back and defend their communities against the Trump administration’s criminalization of migrants.
Ben Becker, editor-in-chief of BreakThrough News, joins the show to discuss Trump’s unprecedented mass deportation plan, the most aggressive immigration crackdown in modern US history. Becker will highlight how Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan has complained that immigrants are “too educated” about their rights, while Trump himself has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of ICE arrests, pushing for even harsher measures.
