| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to Scoop where you get the scoop on this week's news. And we have a big news week ahead. There's no such thing as a quiet summer news week. There's no such thing as a quiet summer Friday. As we learned this past Friday, we got the official indictment, the federal indictment of a former president of |
| 0:21.7 | the United States. And just a word on that, we've talked in the past about what Friday means |
| 0:27.2 | in a news cycle. And it still continues to baffle me in this modern media error that Friday still |
| 0:34.5 | is a day where many, the government, big businesses, important people, |
| 0:39.8 | drop news thinking that maybe just everybody's already off to their weekend and maybe just |
| 0:48.8 | won't pay attention when in reality the 24-hour news cycle is what it is. We're always on our phones. There's no way |
| 0:57.4 | of hiding or softening the dropping of the news that we just got, which is 37 federal felony |
| 1:05.5 | charges of a former U.S. president. So it was going to be big news no matter what. I don't know if it just |
| 1:12.6 | happened to drop on a Friday, it was just by coincidence. But if you're in any sort of business |
| 1:18.5 | role or you're just thinking yourself about messaging, oftentimes Fridays are used as sort of like |
| 1:23.9 | this dead period where, you know, it's not a great time for engagement. And I could say, by the way, on my side of delivering news to you, I tend to not give you a lot of news on Friday because I just assume that maybe just want to break. But if there is big news, of course, we're going to cover it. So it's not intentional. But it is something just to think about, about the strategy behind delivering news like this, not only delivering news like this, but sharing news like this with the public. |
| 1:48.4 | So this is the news story of the week, the indictment of President Trump. |
| 1:52.6 | The second indictment, but the first federal indictment of a former president and also a presidential candidate. |
| 1:57.7 | It is the news of the week. |
| 1:59.1 | So I'm not going to ignore it, but I do want to |
| 2:03.1 | talk a little bit about a few other stories as to put on your radar just very, very briefly, |
| 2:08.1 | including starting with sort of a ridiculous story, just a personal story, because we're going to |
| 2:11.3 | get so serious. I just have to tell you something that's funny that happened to me this weekend. |
| 2:15.6 | So obviously Friday was a really busy day. Wanted to make |
| 2:18.0 | sure I got an extra scoop out for those of you who are insiders here at Smarter News. I mean, |
| 2:23.1 | our weekend digest, you know, it was a lot going on. And on Saturday, we're running around with our |
| 2:28.1 | kids. Suddenly, for those of you have kids, like suddenly nothing fits your children. Suddenly no shoes |
