What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith ten days to go before the midterms, President Trump has pulled back part of the fifty percent tariffs on Canadian goods.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNine product categories come off the list, including farm equipment, freezing equipment and seaweed products.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMaine Senator Susan Collins announced the changes, and her statement did not mention Trump, while the White House announcement did not mention her.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo announcements, one rollback, and neither side will say the other's name. That's a tariff on credit.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA skateboarder has set a world record of one hundred fifty-one kilometers an hour on a Quebec road.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRed Bull says Diego Poncelet broke the record on his first test day at one hundred forty-six point eight eight, and waited five more days for the wind to settle.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive days of waiting, then a tailwind, then a road. Just a man and a plank, going faster than the sedans in that ad.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorUFC 333 is today in Abu Dhabi, with Alexander Volkanovski facing Movsar Evloev for the title. The main card starts at two Eastern, eleven a. m.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPacific, and it streams on Paramount+. Oddsmakers have it close to a coin toss.
