| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to our weekly debrief. This is our weekly deep breath when it comes to the news. |
| 0:08.6 | And you know smart news is all about quick and concise, nonpartisan information. But once a week, |
| 0:12.5 | we just want to take a second to take a little bit deeper of a dive on some of the top stories that we've been watching. |
| 0:18.0 | I wasn't actually positive that I was going to be able to do |
| 0:21.5 | our weekly debrief because I've had, you might be able to tell a little bit of lingering laryngitis |
| 0:25.9 | from a summer colds. I know when I say colds, all of you are thinking, is it COVID? It's not |
| 0:31.8 | COVID. Don't believe it's COVID. But it certainly took the wind out of my sales a little bit. |
| 0:37.2 | And as you know, it's illegal, but it certainly took the wind out of my sales a little bit. |

| 1:16.8 | very much. We're on the end. But we're kind of kind of move into a summer period here on Smarter |
| 1:23.6 | News. I like to do our debriefs once a week. I'm hopeful I can continue that pace. We're going to take a little time off over the next couple weeks. I'm going to be traveling a bit with my kids. And so we'll be continuing our reporting on Smarter News. We have a bunch of really exciting interviews coming up that I can't wait to share with you. But things may look a little different. So this is going to be our first edition of our summer |
| 1:45.4 | debrief, which is hopefully a little bit more casual and a little bit more abbreviated because I know |
