| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Tuesday, March 28. |
| 0:19.6 | Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Now, Glenn Greenwald is away this week. I'm Brianna Joy Gray. You might know me from my own podcast, Bad Faith, or from my previous hosting |
| 0:38.9 | responsibilities over at the Hills Rising, less of a free speech platform than this one. Now, |
| 0:44.7 | today I'll be walking through the implosion of the Democratic Party, the pathetic hunt for a |
| 0:50.7 | Joe Rogan of the left. The party's instinct for corporate self-preservation over |
| 0:56.0 | real populist reform and the media cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline. |
| 1:01.8 | Afterward, I'll be joined by independent left podcaster and co-host Abuseful Idiots Podcast, |

| 1:56.8 | establishment Republican, a $1.7 trillion tax cut that went overwhelmingly to the rich. |
| 2:03.1 | Now, there was some good stuff, too. Unlike Biden, he didn't start any new wars. |
| 2:07.4 | And while he continued to fund Israel's genocide in Gaza and crack down on free speech rights |
| 2:13.2 | of Americans who protested said genocide, Trump did accomplish the temporary ceasefire that |
| 2:18.4 | AOC merely claimed Kamala was working tirelessly to achieve. But now that President Trump is |
| 2:25.5 | finally following through on some of his less popular and less populist policy commitments, |
