| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Monday, October 27th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live |
| 0:22.9 | nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here on Rumble, |
| 0:28.6 | the free speech, alternative to YouTube. As you can see, I am still not in the studio. On Friday night, |
| 0:33.9 | I was in San Antonio where I did an event with McGin Kelly and Emily Jusinski. It was actually quite good, very wide-ranging conversation, very unconstrained and free. You can watch it online, the full event. If you're so inclined, it's on Megan Kelly's YouTube channel, it's various other places. As well, I'm currently, as you can see in the background, or maybe you can't see in the background. I mean, you can see in the background, but you may not identify it. |
| 0:54.6 | I'm currently in Miami to do a couple of podcasts and more on that in just a little bit. I will be home on Wednesday. We'll return to our studio, but we intend to continue to have shows that are better than ever. Sometimes when I'm liberated from the studio, they end up better than ever. Everyone says that. Everyone's like, I didn't think it could be done, but your show is incredible when you're not in the studio. |
| 1:14.1 | People say that. Everyone's like, I didn't think it could be done, but your show is incredible when you're not in the studio. People say that. |
| 1:15.5 | Now, tonight, the New York City election, the election for New York City Mayor and various other |
| 1:20.6 | elections as well, including New Jersey and Virginia for the gubernator races, is basically about a week away, a week and a day away. |
| 1:30.2 | It'll be next Tuesday. |
| 1:31.4 | And nothing has really been effectively done to dent what appears to be the size of a lead of New York City candidates, Zaraan Mandani. |
| 1:39.1 | And obviously, for a lot of reasons, many people are petrified of his ascension, especially people who are very invested in either the political establishment or in Israel, both of whom perceive him as this great threat. |
| 1:52.7 | There are other people who have been convinced that he's some sort of radical communist or socialist, and you're about to see, and I have all my criticisms of Zohan Mondami, that he's going to be a very conventional Democratic politician, |
| 2:03.6 | pretty much indistinguishable from AOC and Bernie Sanders. |
| 2:07.1 | Nothing we haven't seen before. |
| 2:08.6 | He's very focused on his career. |
| 2:10.1 | But nonetheless, although I have a lot of criticism of Zoran, |
| 2:13.0 | and I don't expect much, even if he does win, |
| 2:15.3 | the reaction to him, the utter unhinged hysteria over the |
| 2:20.2 | prospect that he is going to win has revealed such a neurosis, such a kind of hysteria and |
| 2:25.5 | panic in a lot of different factions that I do think it's worth talking about. I mean, the |
| 2:30.0 | discourse that has surrounded him and the calls that have been accompanying that discourse for |
