YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 2/20 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests:
Sevim Dağdelen, MP in the German Bundestag and foreign policy spokesperson for the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) party, joins the show to break down the stakes of Germany’s upcoming election. As Elon Musk promotes the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as an “anti-systemic” force, Dağdelen will delve into his dangerous agenda, and the BSW’s push to end the Ukraine war and reverse decades of austerity policies that have burdened the German people.
Claude Gatebuke, Rwandan genocide survivor, co-author of Survivors Uncensored, and Executive Director of the African Great Lakes Action Network (AGLAN), joins the show to discuss Rwanda’s backing of the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He’ll reveal how Rwanda and Uganda are waging a brutal proxy war—using mass murder, rape, and displacement—to plunder Congo’s vast mineral wealth.
Kevin Gosztola, Editor of The Dissenter Newsletter and host of The Dissenter Weekly, joins the show to analyze Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence, where bipartisan lawmakers vilified Edward Snowden and scrutinized her previous statements in support of him. But is Gabbard really committed to overhauling the post-9/11 surveillance state? Or will her leadership under Trump be an assault on civil liberties?
Basil Farraj, Assistant Professor at Birzeit University in Palestine, joins the show to discuss Israel’s release of 502 Palestinian prisoners this week, bringing the total freed to 1,135 as part of the ceasefire deal. Farraj will discuss the brutal conditions of Israeli detention, where systematic torture, starvation, and abuse have left many prisoners in critical condition, while Israeli captives released appear unscathed by comparison
Abdul Rahman, a reporter with People’s Dispatch, joins the show to unpack the meeting between Donald Trump and India’s far-right Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where Modi pushed a so-called “mega partnership” between the two countries. Rahman will also shed light on the growing grassroots resistance across India—from student-led movements to massive farmer protests—as people mobilize against Modi’s authoritarian rule, neoliberal policies, and assaults on democracy.
