| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news. My name is Jenna, and this is |
| 0:06.9 | Smarter News. Well, there is no rest for the weary. There's a reason why that saying exists, actually, and I think we're all |
| 0:22.3 | experiencing it right now. We have several weeks of breaking news and a lot of changes when it |
| 0:26.6 | comes to the 2024 election cycle. And that's really where we're going to focus today. So welcome. |
| 0:31.4 | It's great to have you guys here. Clearly, there's been some very big developments for the election |
| 0:37.1 | of 2024 this weekend. |
| 0:38.8 | We had President Joe Biden step back from the Democratic Party nomination. |
| 0:44.0 | We had his endorsement of Vice President Harris. |
| 0:48.0 | But even though we have that information, we still have a lot of unknowns. |
| 0:51.7 | So that's what my goal is for you today. |
| 0:54.1 | We have a couple other news items I want to make sure to have on your radar and we'll kind of weave them in throughout the broadcast. But this is a story of the moment. And all of us have questions as to what this actually means. And so just to kind of ease into it in a little bit of a different way, I got this news yesterday. This might be one of those situations. It may or may not rise the |
| 1:12.6 | level for you where you were like, where were you when you found out that this was going to totally |
| 1:16.1 | change? You know, where were you when you found out, for example, there was an attempted assassination |
| 1:20.7 | on former President Trump's life? Where were you when he found out that President Biden was going |
| 1:25.8 | to step back from the party's nomination? You know, we're having a lot of these moments. So I heard this, I saw it as whenever I pick up my phone and I see breaking news alerts from multiple sources, I think, okay. And it's not like around the 7 o'clock a.m. period, you know, when everyone's sort of blasting out things to you that don't really matter, you ever get those blasts on your phone? You're like, why did anyone think that this was the thing to push to someone's phone for an alert? You know, you open a story that's completely obscure. But when you see multiple things that like a strange time, I think, okay, okay, what's happening here? And I saw the news, obviously, that President Biden had |
| 2:03.0 | stepped back. And the juxtaposition of this news with real life was challenging because my youngest child, |
| 2:11.5 | I have three kids, my youngest, my four-year-old, is turning five tomorrow. And this is a very emotional thing for me, |
| 2:19.2 | in part because the birth of True, his name is Truitt, Colin True, really coincides with |
| 2:25.9 | when Smarter News started. You know, Smarter News was just in his infancy when True was born. |
| 2:31.5 | And then we were suddenly catapulted as the pandemic happened. |
| 2:36.8 | And there were so many different breaking news stories going into 2020. |
| 2:39.8 | True was born in 2019, late 2019. |
