Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news.

My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News.

Well, it's great to see you guys on what is going to be the last Monday of June, which feels a little bit too soon, by the way, doesn't it? The last Monday of June, and then we're going to head right into the July 4th holiday. We have a really big week of news ahead of us. We never know what to predict completely. Forecasting is like that. We see it with the weather. We have an idea of what's to come, but then there's all sorts of things that happen that we don't expect. So we approach this week with some humility, knowing that we're not going

to know everything that's going to take place. However, the calendar is very helpful for us this

week because we do know of certain large events. And we also know that we receive some information

that is going to be part of the continued story this week. So we have brand new numbers

on the U.S. southern and northern border that we're going to talk about. We have an expectation

that we are going to get Supreme Court decisions this week, including one on the presidency

that could have wide sweeping impact on the American presidency for years to come.

And we also have our first scheduled presidential debate. Yes, it's already here. CNN is going to be

hosting this on Thursday. And there's a big change from historic precedent that really matters for your experience

and this idea of a shared collective experience that the American public has with these debates.

So it's a marked change. We're going to talk about what it means for you and also what it means

for us together. This idea of shared experience is something I've been thinking about

since I read an article this morning that actually has to do with Ryan Seacrest. Don't worry.

I'm going to pull these things together, I promise you. But this idea of shared experience

with the American public, what are we actually sharing in collectively together at one time

rather than a lot of different experiences we're getting from the media at different points

because we're able to sort of create our own channels and consume our own experiences

and control that rather than turning, let's say, to a television set that

is only going to have a limited number of options. So this is something I've been thinking a lot

about shared experience. And there's a part of this shared experience in all these stories.
