Good evening. It's Tuesday, August 26.

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. Tonight, we're not necessarily a fan of corporate media

in general, as you may have heard, but there are some reporters who actually do the kind of work

one really needs reporters to do. One of them is Dave Weigel, who has cycled through numerous

outlets and now covers politics for semaphore. He was present today in Minneapolis for a meeting

of the Democratic National Committee, where, among other things, they rejected a resolution

that would have called for an arms embargo on Israel,

even though their party members overwhelmingly, according to every poll, support such a plan.

We'll talk to Dave about this specific vote as well as other ongoings at the DNC and what it all bodes

for the future of this sputtering and sickly party, including for 2028. And then before we get to that, we are also going to take ongoing questions from our Q&A that we were going to do on Friday night that we didn't get a chance to do. And so we said we're going to get to as many of your questions throughout the week. We take questions exclusively from members of our locals' communities. So we're going to start off taking a few.

Once Dave gets here, we'll talk to him about everything he's been seeing at this annual DNC meeting

and what it boated for the party.

And then we'll get back to more of your questions.

As always, there's a very wide range of questions about censorship and entrapment in police stings

of the kind that we saw in Las Vegas where that is really accused Israeli pedophile was allowed to walk. There's questions about Lula and Brazil and a whole bunch of other topics as well, some of which we cover, some of which we often don't, that I am anxious to address. So we're going to do the Q&A as many as we can before Dave gets here. And then once he's here, we'll talk to him and then go back to as many questions of yours as we can. As a reminder, system update is also available in podcast form. You can listen to every episode 12 hours after the first broadcast live here on Rumble on Spotify, Apple, and all of the major podcasting platforms, wherever you rate, review, and follow our show there.

It really does help spread the visibility of the program.

Finally, as independent media, we do rely on the support of our viewers and our members,
