The documentary links imperialism, war, and environmental collapse, showing how crises from Iraq to Gaza and Sudan are interconnected by U.S. global power. Martin warns, “The status quo is death… they are barreling us off a cliff and destroying the habitability of our future.” #breakthroughnews

On September 6, Muhammad Saeed Muhammad Abdul Salem went to an Israeli-controlled aid distribution site in northern Gaza to find food for his family. He never returned home. His family searched for his body for days after his disappearance, but found nothing. Witnesses say the Israeli military had rounded up and arrested Palestinian youths at the distribution site. The family suspects he may still be alive in Israeli custody, but they have no information. They are calling for an international investigation to find their missing son.

Kurt Hackbarth, host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, exposes Mexico’s so-called Gen Z protests as a staged, astroturfed destabilization campaign. He breaks down the march, from the near absence of actual youth to violent scenes in the Zócalo, staged for international consumption — prompting Trump to say he’d be “okay” with airstrikes and the US embassy to promise intervention “if Mexico wants it.” Hackbarth reveals the forces behind it, from Ricardo Salinas Pliego’s Elektra Group to far-right networks like The Atlas Network and La Derecha Diario, and explains what it means for Mexico’s political moment. #breakthroughnews

As the world slides deeper into imperial rot — from Trump’s transformation of the U.S. into a Department of War state, to Europe’s political collapse, to global leaders shamelessly bowing to Washington — a socialist shockwave has erupted in New York City: Zohran Mamdani has just won the mayoral race while proudly defending Palestine. What does this contradiction reveal about the global moment we’re living in? Yanis Varoufakis — economist, political leader, former Greek finance minister, and author of “Technofeudalism” — joins Rania Khalek to unpack the rise of fascistic politics, the failures of global capitalism, the myth of Western “democracy,” and the lessons of Zohran’s victory.

Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra discuss the latest U.S. escalation against Venezuela, from new “narco-terrorism” labels to reports that Washington has been running war games on ousting President Nicolás Maduro. They explain how fabricated threats like the so-called “Cartel de los Soles” are being used to justify extrajudicial killings and bypass congressional oversight, reviving post-9/11 tactics across Latin America. They also discuss how the genocide in Gaza has “expanded the parameters of what is acceptable,” normalizing state violence from Gaza to the Caribbean and widening the scope of what Washington believes it can carry out without consequence. #breakthroughnews

What is China's political system really like? China’s Constitution calls for “leadership of the Communist Party of China” over a “system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation.” But could it actually have more “democratic” practices than the U.S.? Western media often frames China as a totally authoritarian top-down state, but this narrative doesn't explain the high levels of public satisfaction reported in studies like the one from Harvard. This week, Amanda Yee is joined by Paweł Wargan, Political Coordinator for the Progressive International, to debunk common Western myths and discuss the reality of China's governance model. The two dive deep into the country’s "whole-process people's democracy," how it functions, and why it enjoys widespread popular support. Read Pawel and Jason Hickel’s article “Building Whole-Process People’s Democracy in China” : https://progressive.international/blueprint/cb7dbaf4-b106-4105-8bde-fdab4bfc2fe8-building-whole-process-peoples-democracy-in-china/en Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show that provides an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. We help you navigate beyond the headlines with expert analysis and on-the-ground perspectives.

What happened in Gaza after October 7, 2023 “changed the world, turned it upside down,” says Dr. Ghada Karmi. In this clip, she explains why the people of Gaza “did not die in vain,” how their suffering exposed the brutality of the Western order, and why the Global South now faces a choice: accept permanent subjugation or stand up with dignity against empire. Gaza’s sacrifice, she argues, has opened a historic debate about the future of the world — and a new order that must replace the rotten one we live under now.

Younes will explain how the law undermines free speech in schools by censoring discussions in public school about Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East, and why the ADC is asking the court to block it before it takes effect.

On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 11/20 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and guest host Zoe Alexandra are joined by special guests: Human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber joins the show to discuss the UN Security Council’s newly adopted resolution that effectively hands the U.S. control over Gaza. He breaks down what this colonial plan means for Palestine and the horrific absurdity of granting authority over Gaza to a co-perpetrator of the ongoing genocide. Kurt Hackbarth, host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, joins the show to discuss the so-called Gen Z protests in Mexico, where an alleged right-wing, foreign-funded destabilization campaign is raising serious questions about who’s really driving the unrest. Hackbarth will discuss what these demonstrations say about Mexico’s political moment — and the forces trying to shape it. Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics, joins the show to break down Donald Trump’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where the U.S. formally designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally. Coming on the heels of Trump’s talks with the new ruler of Syria and the Palestinian Authority’s endorsement of Washington’s Gaza occupation plan, Cafiero explains how these moves highlight how the region’s despotic governments are deepening their subservience to the U.S. despite widespread public outrage. Rania Khalek and special guest host Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, break down the growing push to release the “Epstein Files,” Donald Trump’s escalating threats against Venezuela, and more of the day’s top stories Time Codes: 06:20 - Kurt Hackbarth 24:42 - Giorgio Cafiero 41:20 - Craig Mokhiber 1:13:08 - Rania and Zoe discuss Venezuela, Zohran backlash, Epstein and MORE! #breakthroughnews
