Good evening. It's Thursday, June 10th. Welcome to a, is it Thursday, June 10th or July 10th?

Oh, it's June, it's July 10th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that it is every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively are in Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, there are times when we can not cover everything that is going on that we think

deserves attention. And one of the ways we try to rectify that is to bring on guests whom we

believe are highly informed, engaging, and provocatively. We have two guests tonight for you,

who are most certainly all of those things. The first is Liam Cunningham, who is the long time

working Irish actor, likely best known for his central

role as Davad Seaworth in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones.

But for our purposes, he is also a very passionate political activist, an analyst who has spent

decades involved in political activism.

In the last two years, focus, like many people, on the Israeli destruction of Gaza,

will talk to him about all of that, about the levels of repression around this topic in Hollywood,

in the UK, and Europe more broadly. Why it seems that some governments, including his own,

in Dublin, have become so much more outspoken than others on this issue and whether he sees

any progress in how public

opinion globally is changing on the issue of Israel for the better. Then we'll talk right after

that to the very independent, heterodox and cantankerous journalists, which I mean in the most

flattering way, Zed Jalani. He was my colleague for years at the Intercept until he left for all

the right reasons. His work has been appearing with some frequency in outlets like unheard, compact, and the New York

Times. He also has his own fantastic substack, which we'll talk about when he's here.

We're going to talk about a wide range of topics with him, including the fallout from the DOJ's

announcement that it's closing the Epstein investigation with no further disclosures.
