We need a new system. We need a new society.

We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago,

but is not only realizable, but an imperative necessity. Welcome to the Socialist Program. I'm Nicole Roussel, a producer of the show. Brian, the host of

the Socialist Program, is on his way to a conference in Brazil with the Landless Workers Movement,

the MST. He's coming back on the 31st of August, and we are excited to announce a seminar with Brian

for that day, the 31st at noon eastern 9 a.m. Pacific.

So if you're already supporting us with $5 a month or more, please go to Patreon to register

to join us on the 31st. If you're not yet supporting this show, but you enjoy the show or you

rely on it for news and analysis, for information, for perspective.

Please go to our Patreon page at patreon.com slash the socialist program and sign up for $5 a month, $10 a month, $20 or more to do your part and keep the show going.

And once you've done that, to register for the seminar.

The link will be right on the main page.

And then supporters, patrons, our beloved community, please send us questions for Brian through

the Patreon account. You can just message us. And we'll try to get through as many questions

as we can. Brian does his best to get to everyone and we normally do a pretty good job.

So again, this is for

the 31st at noon Eastern time, 9 a.m. Pacific. And if you're sitting here thinking, well,

I work at both noon and at nine, don't worry at all. You can send your questions to us.

We will still get to them. And then we'll produce a mixed and mastered great audio quality version of

the show, a podcast, and we'll put that out for patrons only. So you can still hear everything

and still get your questions answered. Now, today, we're going to share with you an incredible

interview that Brian did with Ranya Callick's show Dispatches, which if you don't already listen to or watch,
