On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 11/06 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests: Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear break down Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s historic New York mayoral victory — a political earthquake that rattled billionaires, defied both parties, and energized millions demanding real change. They will discuss how Mamdani now faces threats not just from Trump and the far right, but from entrenched city institutions, a hostile bureaucracy, and pro-corporate Democrats — setting the stage for a showdown between New York and Washington’s ruling elite. Muhammad Shehada, Palestinian writer and analyst, joins the show to discuss Israel’s ongoing genocide and assult on Gaza, including the horrific rape of Palestinian hostages that mainstream media ignores, and the deadly continuation of airstrikes under the so-called ceasefire. He will discuss how Israel is using the “Yellow Line” to divide the Gaza Strip, impose proxy rule, restrict aid, and engineer permanent despair — with expulsion and entrenched control as the ultimate goal — as Trump claims a supposed “peace.” Zahra Billoo, Executive Director of the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) joins the show to discuss the detention of British Muslim journalist Sami Hamdi, who continues to be held in ICE custody despite traveling on a valid U.S. visa. Billoo will discuss how Hamdi’s abduction—cheered on by extremist Laura Loomer—exposes how anti-Muslim bigotry and pro-Israel fanaticism are driving U.S. policy and targeting those speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Taylor Frazier McCollum, an organizer from Landover, Maryland, joins the show to discuss the grassroots campaign against the construction of a massive hyperscale AI data center in Prince George’s County. She will explain how residents have mobilized, organizing town halls and gathering 20,000+ petition signatures—to fight pollution, rising utility costs, and environmental racism, as communities nationwide push back against Big Tech’s billion-dollar data center boom. #breakthroughnews
