https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/b5d52342-d67a-4a33-bc66-2ea32270c005 On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 10/16 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Eugene Puryear is joined by special guests: Dr. Ramzy Baroud, journalist, author, and editor of The Palestine Chronicle, joins the show to discuss the Gaza ceasefire and the collapse of Israel’s two-year genocide. Why has Tel Aviv accepted terms that undercut its own military goals? Baroud argues that while Gaza has suffered immense destruction and loss of life, the ceasefire represents a significant achievement. He says it wouldn’t have been possible without the determination of Palestinian resistance groups and the Palestinian civilians who refused to submit to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to completely drive Palestinians out of Gaza. Obaidullah Baheer, political commentator and lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, joins the show to discuss rising tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan after deadly border clashes left dozens dead. Baheer will discuss Islamabad’s role in destabilizing the region and what Kabul’s growing ties with India reveal about the shifting balance of power in South Asia. Michael Roberts, socialist economist and author of The Next Recession blog, joins the show to discuss how the U.S. economy has turned into one giant bet on artificial intelligence. Wall Street is hitting record highs and tech giants are fueling growth with debt and speculation, but Roberts warns the so-called “AI boom” is masking deep stagnation, rising inequality, and the looming threat of another crash. Gisela Cernadas, Argentine economist and organizer with the No Cold War campaign, joins the show to discuss President Trump’s promise of a $20 billion bailout to Argentina amid the country’s deepening economic crisis. As Trump ties the funds to right-wing President Javier Milei’s reelection, Cernadas explains how Milei’s neoliberal shock policies are driving Argentina toward collapse, and how Trump is using the bailout to meddle in the country’s democracy. Eugene Puryear will discuss the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now entering its third week, as Republicans refuse to budge on cuts to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies that would strip healthcare from over 14 million Americans. He’ll explain how Trump is exploiting the crisis to push through a $20 billion bailout for Argentina while gutting vital federal programs and laying off thousands of federal workers. #breakthroughnews Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:05:08 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/b5d52342-d67a-4a33-bc66-2ea32270c005 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
