Good evening. It's Wednesday, March 26. Welcome to a new episode of System Update,

our live nightly show that airs every single Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern,

exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, the controversy, one might say scandal arising out of the signal war planning chat,

could and should have been a one-day

story at most. Had Mike Waltz, the National Security Advisor, just admitted what is plainly true

that he accidentally added the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to their war planning chat,

said he made a mistake, and pointed out that no harm was done, nobody would be

talking about this anymore. Hopefully we'd be focusing on the far more important question of

whether Trump should have restarted Biden's war and bombing campaign in Yemen and what the outcome

is likely to be. But that's not what Walt or other Trump officials did. They did the opposite.

Walt has been issuing a series of increasingly embarrassing and highly implausible claims to justify what he did,

largely because he seems petrified of admitting that he actually did have Jeffrey Goldberg's contacts saved in his phone.

Because Goldberg is one of the most unscrupulous

to simply admit error and move on by Mike Waltz, we have been drowned in a series of utterly

ridiculous claims from the administration, as well as from Goldberg and other Trump enemies that deserve scrutiny simply because it's a job, one of the most important jobs of a journalist, to sort through claims coming from government and corporate media to discern what is true and what is not.

So that is what we will be doing, along with evaluating new evidence about the

bombing campaign in Yemen itself and how it's being carried out. Then, ever since Donald Trump

made clear his intentions to end the war in Ukraine, and in general, withdraw from the responsibility

of financing Europe's defense, EU leaders have seemed to delight in embracing all sorts of tough guy, war mongering rhetoric

about how they intend to become a major military power without the U.S., how they will
