Good evening. It's Monday, September 29th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live

nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday, starting promptly at 7 p.m. Eastern,

and what he hopes or intends to do at that public platform is such a matter of obvious public interest

that any debates over whether to speak with him seemed to me at least barely

worth having. The justification is self-evident. We've been working on scheduling this for a couple

of months, and the logistical stars have finally aligned. And so we'll be here tonight to talk
