Good evening. It's Friday, May 16th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live

nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday, promptly at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, President Trump's three-country trip to the Persian Gulf states this week, as well as a foreign policy address he delivered while in Saudi Arabia have many people believing that the

president laid out a radically new foreign policy vision that sharply departs from the bipartisan

dogma of the last 60 years. And it's not just his words, but his actions that have many people

believing this, from Ukraine and Iran to Syria and Israel. How real is this new foreign policy vision

after four months of the second Trump presidency

about how serious he is,

that question is, not just for America's foreign policy, but for the lives of its citizens at home as

executive director of the Journal of the American Conservative, long identified with the paleo-conservative tradition and the non-interventious wing of the American right.

He has been one of the most vocal voices from that wing on Trump's foreign policy and the urgent need to move the U.S. away from its bipartisan foreign policy of fighting endless wars all over the world that have no benefit

to the American people or its country, but much harm to the country and to the world.

Then every Friday night we have a Q&A session where we take questions from our locals

members and do our best to answer as many as we can. As is usually the case, the quality

of the questions is quite high and the range is far-reaching,

so we really look forward to doing our best to discussing the questions raised by our members.

Before we get to that, a programming note, as we are independent journalists and independent media,
