| 0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Thursday, January 8th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every single Monday through Friday at 7 o'clock p.m. Eastern on the dot exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. |
| 0:36.8 | As you can see, we, as I've said several times over the past month or so, |
| 0:40.3 | we are not in what has been our permanent normal studio. |
| 0:44.3 | But this time we also are not in a kind of makeshift temporary place. |
| 0:48.3 | Either we're in what really is, I guess, what you could call a part-time news studio that was put together by my colleagues over the past couple of days. |
| 0:58.1 | And I know what you're all thinking, like, oh, my God, that is so beautiful. |

| 1:39.0 | May have a little technical clitches the first day or two when we're using this new studio. |
| 1:43.0 | But hopefully it will work very well. |
| 1:45.6 | All right, for tonight. |
| 1:47.7 | Donald Trump earlier today announced seemingly out of nowhere that he wanted to increase |
