| 0:00.0 | As Joe Biden's approval ratings continue to plummet as his re-election looks in greater and greater |
| 0:08.3 | doubt, the Biden administration, the Biden White House, has decided to stay with the genocidal |
| 0:13.5 | policies being pursued by the Israeli government in Gaza. |
| 0:18.1 | We need a new system. |
| 0:20.2 | 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 your host, Brian Becker. Today we're talking with Eugene Per Year. Eugene is an author and political activist. He's the co-host of the Freedom Side Live, a live video show every Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. that you can see on Breakthrough News. That's 3 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. |
| 1:10.0 | Eugene Per Year, welcome back. Thank you so much for |
| 1:12.4 | having me, Brian. Great to be here. Well, there's a lot to talk about, and I'm so happy that you were |
| 1:16.6 | available to be the guest because you follow international politics. You have a careful eye on domestic |

| 2:07.5 | remember anything. Now, maybe he was just trying to use that as a defense, because obviously |
| 2:12.5 | politicians say, I can't remember a lot of times. said it too, when they said, why did you take |
| 2:18.4 | all of these classified documents illegally? Why did you take him to Mara Lago? Trump and his |
| 2:23.0 | entourage were saying, I can't remember, I can't remember. But you really can't have it both ways. |
| 2:27.6 | Either you did remember and you lied, which would be a crime, or you can't remember. The special |
