Thursday, December 18th, welcome to a new episode of system update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday, every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, Donald Trump gave a primetime address last night that I think was reasonable to expect would contain a certain amount

of substance.

And for that reason, we decided to delay our show until after that speech so that we could

analyze whatever it was that was announced and react to the important substantive revelations

of the speech, which we assumed would at least include some discussion of what

is basically a war against Venezuela, not yet a full-on round invasion with troops on the ground,

but acts of war on every level. And yet the word Venezuela was never mentioned. It was a speech

that even though I watched it 24 hours ago,

I couldn't tell you a single thing that was in there

other than the fact that the economy is great

and to the extent it's not,

it's not Trump's fault.

And there was really nothing to react to,

even though we announced that we would.

And so we want to go over at least a little bit of that. And then we also have a story that I think is worth examining. It was actually on

Megan Kelly's show earlier today for about two hours plus. And this is one of the stories we discussed

and I had some thoughts about it afterwards that I wanted to cover, which was this couple that got caught on this kiss cam at the Coldplay concert six months ago.

And for reasons that to this very day, I still don't understand. It became some major story. But when something becomes a major story, there's usually a reason.

And if you don't understand why, it's worth trying to understand it because something about it

resonated with the culture or with mores or with whatever needs people have to cast judgment

on others.
