Summary

New legislation in the state of Tennessee lobbies for replacing Columbus Day with "Super Bowl Monday" – Should other states follow suit? Do we all need a "late start" after the Super Bowl?

We report. You relax! We got your covered for the week ahead.

Your cheat sheet on big events that happened while millions watched the "Big Game":
  • The SecDef returns to the hospital; Deputy takes lead. (5:00)
  • The Senate advances foreign aid legislation; border details remain absent. (6:30)
  • "Victory is within reach" says Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu on a new offensive in a southern city in Gaza – a key area housing many evacuees. (9:00)
Your cheat sheet on three big legal cases that may impact the rest of 2024:
  • Questions remain about whether former President Trump's team will appeal to the Supreme Court a lower court decision that the former President can face criminal prosecution. (approx. 16:30)
  • The Supreme Court hears a case that could keep former President Trump off the ballot in the state of Colorado. (21:00)
  • A special counsel concludes President Biden should face no charges related to his handling of classified documents, but the issue of age and competency overshadows the current president's statement about the investigation. (30:30)

Hi, everybody. Welcome to Scoop.

0:35.9

We get the scoop on this week's news.

My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News, and I'm happy to see you the day after the Super Bowl, which some are arguing,

0:50.9

should actually be a holiday, a real bona fide holiday in the United States of America. So let me give you a little backstory to this. A little personal story this morning, I was running to work and wanting to get to the office and get set up, but I really needed a cup of coffee. So I decided I could pull over to this place. It's right on the way to the office and hopefully just get a little something. So I'm, you know, prepped and ready for you guys, which is the whole point. It's like, you know, you say, I'm like an, I am like an NFL football player. It's the same thing. You need to warm up and I needed a little bit of coffee.

1:55.9

hundreds of thousands of people that were following us in any given time, no one would care, yada, yada, yada.

2:01.8

So this is why I really remember this coffee shop. But, you know, you've got to go back and

2:06.4

you've got to reclaim territory. Eddie how I walk into this coffee shop that's usually really

2:09.8

busy and no one's there. It's absolutely silent. Literally, no one is in the coffee shop. It was almost like a Western
