On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 11/13 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests:
On Wednesday, Democrats released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate suggesting Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls — with Epstein calling Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked” and noting that an alleged victim had “spent hours at my house” with him. Just hours later, after months of stonewalling, House Republicans abruptly dumped 23,000 more pages of Epstein-related documents. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear will discuss how the revelations are fueling new questions about what Trump knew, why he stayed silent, and how far the fallout will reach.
Nathan J. Robinson, editor in chief of Current Affairs, joins the show to discuss the Democrats’ latest stunning capitulation to Trump, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent joined Republicans to end the government shutdown — with zero meaningful concessions. The deal offers virtually nothing to Democrats and fails to extend key healthcare subsidies, setting the stage for millions to lose insurance and see premiums skyrocket. As outrage mounts and calls grow for Chuck Schumer’s resignation, Robinson will discuss how Democratic leadership once again folded to Trump and what that means for millions of Americans already on the brink.
David Hundeyin, Nigerian investigative journalist and author, joins the show to discuss Donald Trump’s threats to go “guns-a-blazing” into Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and largest oil producer, based on bogus claims of mass Christian persecution. Hundeyin will discuss the real drivers of violence in Nigeria, the IMF-backed economic crisis and how President Bola Tinubu’s loyalty to Trump has only left the country vulnerable to intervention.
Jenin Younes, National Legal Director at the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), joins the show to discuss the ADC’s lawsuit against California Governor Gavin Newsom over Assembly Bill 715 (AB 715), signed into law in October, which threatens to punish teachers for discussing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Younes will explain how the law undermines free speech in schools, transforming public school classrooms into censored spaces for discussions about Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East, and why the ADC is asking the court to block it before it takes effect.
Dayvon Love, Director of Public Policy at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS), joins the show to discuss Governor Wes Moore’s veto of Maryland’s Reparations Study Bill (SB 587), which would have created a commission to develop a concrete roadmap for reparations addressing the historic and ongoing harms of systemic racism and economic exclusion faced by Black communities. Love will explain why the veto undermines a critical step toward actionable policy, from land and property acquisition to investment in Black-owned financial institutions, and why LBS is calling on legislators to override the veto to ensure Maryland advances Black self-determination and long-term structural repair.
