Episode notes
This week's genre: Southern Rock. BopsReport turns the biggest headlines of the week into a news recap — sung, not read. Every week gets a different genre, so the sound is never the same twice. This week: Hurricane Isaias makes landfall near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2, leaving at least four dead and over 800,000 without power; Trump and Putin strike a diesel deal as the Treasury eases sanctions and diesel hits $6.27 a gallon; Trump says no strikes on Iran before Election Day; a federal judge strikes down the Justice Department's voter-roll checks; consumer sentiment falls to a five-month low; the Justice Department seeks to charge ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson; an ICE officer shoots a New York father with his 5-year-old son in the car; the Pentagon plans to livestream Nidal Hasan's execution; Caleb Flynn gets life without parole; Stanford's Karl Deisseroth and Wisconsin's Francis Halzen win Nobel Prizes; and Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" returns to No. 1. All the news you need this week, in one song.
"Our problems are manmade — therefore, they can be solved by man." — John F. Kennedy, American University commencement address (June 10, 1963)
