| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Monday, September 8th. |
| 0:19.6 | Welcome to a new episode of System Update, |
| 0:21.8 | our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here |
| 0:27.4 | on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight, the Trump administration very |
