Good evening. It is Friday, January 30th.

Welcome to a new episode of System Update.

As many of you likely know,

we try to devote every Friday night to a Q&A session with the audience, particularly

people who are part of our locals community, who have submitted questions throughout the

week that we try and devote as much time on the Friday night show as possible to answering

as many of them

as we can because they're almost uniformly excellent and they cover a wide range of topics,

including ones we wouldn't necessarily cover on our own.

So I always look forward to that and I'm excited to get to that.

Before we do, though, I just want to make a quick programming note, which is some of you may have

seen that yesterday we promoted tonight's show as not just May, but also as entailing what we

called a major announcement or major news about our program and the future of it, which we had

intended to share with you, are very excited about it. At the last minute, just a couple of

all into place in a way that was make the announcement tonight. I was very excited to do so,

but look for that. I answer as many of them as we can. The first one is about the ice shootings, and it comes from Cheer Drinker, who wrote the following.

Quote, Hi, Glenn.

I'm interested in what your response to what Nick Flint has recently said about you,

Ryan, Graham, Max Blumenthal, and other left-leaning journalists bearing the lead when it comes to these shootings in Minneapolis.

It is amusing to me. Pretty much every week, there will be some media outlets when it comes to these shootings in Minneapolis. It is amusing to me.

Pretty much every week there will be some media outlets when they refer to me for whatever

purposes they have as being an independent journalist.
