0:00.0	Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news.
0:04.9	My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News.
0:15.5	Every week I say it.
0:17.0	Every week I say it.
0:19.0	I can't believe we're here on Monday, October 28th. We have Halloween to look forward to. You thought I was going to say the elections, but we're going to start with Halloween first. We'll all get loaded up on some candy. I believe the clocks change this weekend, too, which is a little bit of too much of a double whammy ahead of the election. It's too much. There's too many health issues that come with that. I feel like we should have delayed that because there's too much politics. We just need to ease into this period of time. You can't throw too many things at us once. You know, I can't have like all the kids in costume and the candy and the clock's changing and the
0:55.3	election. It's, we're going to need to talk to someone about that next time it comes up. So,

1:19.7	We do have a little Halloween vibe here on set.
1:23.8	You know, I got a little pumpkin spice candle burning.
1:26.8	I was already thinking about coordinating trick-or- or treating. That's ahead of us this week. My kids, what are they dressed up as? My son, the son of a Navy SEAL, is dressing up as a top gun pilot. So a little tension in our household when it comes to that. My five-year-old is one of those
1:46.5	blow-up dinosaur guys. You know, like the dinosaur head is like three feet over his head. And there's
1:53.1	like a little air blower thing that's in the costume and they sort of waddle around. That's a super easy costume to get in the car.
2:03.0	It's not.
2:03.9	I would suggest against that next time.
2:06.2	And my daughter's been a little bit all over the place.
2:08.8	She had a kind of a Queens, Versailles vibe dress on this weekend for a little
