Good evening. It's Thursday, May 1st. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that it is every single

Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative

to YouTube. I want to thank Lee Fong for doing an excellent job, as always, in sending me for last night.

I was actually in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, testifying for five hours before the Brazilian

Senate about the reporting

we did all throughout last year about the corruption and incriminating behavior of Brazil's

Supreme Court Justice Alashandro Dumanai, so I couldn't make it back to Rio in time.

And so I was happy that Lee did a great job sitting in.

Tonight, President Trump fired his national security advisor earlier today, Mike Waltz, from his key position in the West Wing,

and instead relegated him to a largely ceremonious and meaningless position, far removed from the West Wing in New York City,

where he will be the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. There's no doubt that what we now call Signalgate contributed to this firing.

That was when Waltz accidentally added the vehement anti-Trump journalist Jeffrey Goldberg

to his group to plan a bombing campaign on Yemen.

But there are also likely ideological and substantive factors driving this to motion.

All of this comes at a very critical time in American foreign policy.

The U.S. is heavily bombing Yemen.

Trump is trying to facilitate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war,

and Israel and its supporters in the United States are pressuring the U.S. to bomb and attack Iran.

Beyond that, Trump today announced that his long-sought-after minerals deal with Ukraine has been signed.

But will it, as Trump promised, create a new, a whole new security and military commitment

for the United States to protect Ukraine?

And if that's what we're doing, why not just put them into NATO?
