Good evening. It's Friday, December 5th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday, Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. As you can see, I am not in our normal studio. I've said that many times before. I don't know why I have to do that every night. And as a result,

1:11.0

our setup is a little bit different. We'll be for the next week or two. And I can hear the people with who might work speaking in my ear even though I shouldn't be. So hopefully they'll be able to do something about that. As a result, I haven't just pointed out, though I think they're talking so much that they may not even be able to actually hear me. In any event, I wanted to say one point before we get into the show, which is that this week, despite not being in the studio, has been really easy for me when it comes to doing the introduction, because Monday was the first of the month. Monday was December 1st. And so every time we begin the show, I have to say the name, the date, the day and the date. and the date, and oftentimes I have to try and remember, even though it's on my script in front of me with a teleprompter.

1:14.4

I don't have a teleprompter with me, but I don't need one.

1:25.4

And usually there's a little bit of confusion. I have to remember like, wait, what date is it? What day is it? but when the date of the first falls on Monday,

1:29.5

it's so easy to remember what the date is each day.

1:31.1

Because each day it just goes up by one.

1:30.3

You remember one? of the first falls on Monday, it's so easy to remember what the date is each day. Because each day,

1:34.7

it just goes up by one. You remember Monday is the first. I feel like there should be a law requiring the first of each month to fall on a Monday. And then that way you would just always know,

1:40.1

like, hey, if it's a Tuesday, it's only the second, the ninth, the 16th, or the 23rd, and there's no other possibilities in the 30th, and it would be so easy for everyone to remember. You'd never have to be like, hey, what date is it? What's the date today? No one would ever miss date documents and have to do it over. I'm really strongly considering sponsoring a campaign to call for Congress to implement a law like that.

2:01.5

Maybe we can have a hashtag like Monday is the first.

2:03.7

I don't know.

2:04.1

I'm just kind of working it out as I unveil it.

2:07.7

But feel free to, you know, let's get something going, some activism.

2:11.1

All right, for tonight, I don't think you guys know every Friday night.

2:14.0

What we do is a Q&A session where we take questions from our locals members,

2:19.0

which they submit throughout the week. And we always have more than we can get to, more that,

2:24.1

more that we select the ones that we think are the best. And oftentimes it's about topics we haven't

2:30.3

covered or about topics we do cover, but from a different perspective, just try and kind of diversify the discourse. I try not to see the questions beforehand, so I'm really

2:38.0

seeing them for the first time when you see them for the first time as well. Sometimes we do

2:43.3

prepare a little bit for the segment if I know I want to talk about something. So that's the

2:47.6

format. And before we get into that, just a couple of quick programming notes. First of all, system update is also available in podcast form. You can listen to every episode, 12 hours after the first broadcast live here on Rebel on Spotify, Apple, and all other major podcasting platforms. Where if you rate, review, and follow our program. It really helps provide the visibility

of the show. Finally, as independent journalists, we do rely on your support in order to enable
