| 0:00.0 | The Good evening. It's Tuesday, October 3rd. Welcome to a new episode of |
| 0:20.0 | System Update. Our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 PM |
| 0:24.0 | Eastern exclusively here on Rumbull, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight we have |
| 0:28.5 | very breaking news, maybe a couple of hours old at most. Kevin McCarthy becomes the first ever House Speaker, |
