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). The bill would have created a commission to develop a concrete roadmap for reparations for slavery and other historic and ongoing forms of systemic racism. Love explains why the veto blocks the only process designed to produce actionable proposals—from land and property acquisition to investment in Black-owned financial institutions—and why it undermines meaningful steps toward Black self-determination. He also breaks down the ongoing effort to override the veto and why building political pressure from a grassroots movement is essential to advancing the fight for reparations. #breakthroughnews

Successive New York Times bureau chiefs have literally lived on top of Dr. Ghada Karmi’s family home in Jerusalem — the home her family was ethnically cleansed from in 1948. In this clip, Ghada Karmi explains how she discovered that the NYT had built on top of her house, what happened when she visited, and what this says about the corporate media’s relationship to Palestinian dispossession — not just in their coverage, but in their everyday lives. Watch the full interview with Nakba survivor Ghada Karmi on Rania Khalek Dispatches, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Zj9S9bFTk

Donald Trump has threatened military action in Nigeria, citing the protection of Christians, but the real story, as Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin explains, is money, power and geopolitics. Hundeyin breaks down how U.S. intervention is tied to Nigeria’s vast resource wealth and longstanding geopolitical strategies, contrasting it with China’s approach of infrastructure investment and non-interference. Hundeyin provides essential context on Nigeria’s security situation, the role of Boko Haram, and why "the long-term economic development of Nigeria is considered to be a threat to US national security interests." #breakthroughnews

Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss the latest Trump-Epstein revelations, showing how Epstein wasn’t just a predator but a key node in elite networks spanning presidents, prime ministers, billionaires, and US, UK and Israeli intelligence agencies. They explain why this scandal exposes the criminality of the ruling class and the long history of overlap between organized crime, intelligence, and power in the US and UK. The media, they warn, risks reducing it all to salacious gossip instead of the systemic indictment it is. #breakthroughnews

Nathan J. Robinson, editor in chief of Current Affairs, joins Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek 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, fails to extend key healthcare subsidies, and sets the stage for millions to lose insurance and see premiums skyrocket. With outrage mounting and calls growing for Chuck Schumer’s resignation, Robison discusses why the Democratic Party is seemingly more committed to donor interests than being “an actual fighting party with effective opposition.” #breakthroughnews

As Israel continues its relentless assault on Gaza, killing and starving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with Western backing, even during so-called ceasefires, one thing has become clear: this isn’t just about Palestine. It’s about Western supremacy, empire, and the racism that underpins them both. To discuss this, Rania Khalek is joined by Dr. Ghada Karmi — academic, physician, and Nakba survivor — who has written powerfully about how Western imperialism, Arab complicity, and Zionism’s own contradictions have led us here. Dr. Karmi is a former research fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter and author of many books including “One State: The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel.” She has spent her life exposing the deeper roots of this catastrophe: the colonial mindset that made Palestine disposable, the Western guilt that turned Jewish suffering into Palestinian punishment, and the moral rot that allows genocide to be broadcast live without consequence.

Sign up for the launch of our new Downstream Newsletter here: https://novaramedia.com/newsletters/the-downstream-newsletter/ At Novara, we focus on the trends that are remaking the world and affecting our lives: technological development and automation, multipolarity, the demise of an American-led world order and the rise of China. On Downstream this week is a man whose work draws together all of these themes: World Bank macroeconomist and leading expert on global inequality, Professor Branko Milanovic. In conversation with Aaron Bastani, Branko answers all of Aaron’s burning questions about modern economic history and where things are heading. How significant is the rise of Asia today, compared to the seismic historic shift of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century? What was the cause of World War I, and why don’t mainstream accounts understand the real roots of it? Who are the new elite, and why is it so hard to break their hold on wealth? And how likely is a conflict between China & the USA? 00:00 Intro 02:41 Why Did the USSR Collapse but China Thrive? 09:12 China Under Deng Xiaoping 13:14 Russia’s Decision To Collectivise Agriculture 17:23 The Changing Global Economic Order: Asia Rising 24:11 A Shift as Disruptive as the Industrial Revolution 30:18 GDP or PPP, China or America? 37:08 Is Social Mobility Dead? 40:07 The New Elite 45:37 High Concentrations of Wealth Cause Economic Crashes 50:23 Should We Tax Wealth More? 55:46 The Political West & US Empire 1:04:01 Are We Moving to a Multipolar World? 1:10:03 Capitalism, Imperialism, and War 1:16:53 Reclaiming Adam Smith 1:22:05 Will There Be Conflict Between the West and China?

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. Time Codes: 3:29 - Dayvon Love 21:13 - David Hundeyin 40:35 - Jenin Younes 53:31 - Nathan J. Robinson 01:10:15 - Rania and Eugene discuss Epstein revelations #breakthroughnews
