What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPresident Trump has rolled back some of the fifty percent tariffs on Canadian goods, ten days before the midterms.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine product categories are carved out, including agricultural equipment, freezing equipment, paper and plastic boxes, and seaweed products.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSeaweed is getting a second chance, and I love that for it.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeaweed. Ten days out, and the big relief is seaweed. Collins announced it without mentioning Trump, and the White House announced it without mentioning Collins.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFrance will put seventy thousand police on the streets Saturday for more anti-government protests, and the Louvre and several other major Paris museums will be closed.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPresident Trump says the NFL could've probably postponed Sunday's Steelers and Saints game at the Stade de France, because the protests are stretching police thin.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEighty thousand seats, a nine-thirty Eastern kickoff, and Doug the ghost from that sedan ad would still get a better turnout of police.
