1:42:15Now PlayingOn The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 9/04 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests:
Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute, joins the show to discuss takeaways of the 25th SCO Summit in Tianjin. Leaders from China, Russia, India, Iran, and Central Asia condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West’s unilateralism. Prashad will discuss the summit’s resulting 10-year plan to boost South-South cooperation, the blowback of Trump’s tariff wars and the US’s faltering divide-and-conquer strategy, which has only brought Global South countries closer.
Michael Roberts, a socialist economist and author of The Next Recession blog, joins the show to discuss Donald Trump’s firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. While Trump’s attempts to seize control of the Fed is to force steep interest rate cuts that serve Wall Street, Roberts will argue why the Fed’s ‘independence’ is an arrangement that has also come at the expense of working people.
Leila Hegazy, Egyptian-Italian-American singer-songwriter and political organizer, joins the show aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest effort yet to break Israel’s deadly sea blockade of Gaza. Over 50 ships representing activists from 44 countries are once again attempting to deliver aid to reach the people of Gaza as Israel’s man-made famine grips Palestinian civilians.
Lameess Mehanna, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, joins the show to discuss the second annual People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, held August 29-31, with over 4,600 attendees. Mehanna will discuss where things stand in the global struggle for Palestine and why the liberation of Palestine is central to transforming the entire world, predicated on exploitation and war.
