Mike Pence

Immigration Courts
30 mins · Sun, 1 Apr 2018
America’s dysfunctional immigration court system forces many children to appear in court alone. That’s as ridiculous in real life as it would be on a courtroom television show.
S05 E07
Crisis Pregnancy Centers
30 mins · Sun, 8 Apr 2018
Crisis pregnancy centers deceptively steer woman away from abortion. They can be started way too easily by religious groups like, for instance, a late night talk show’s megachurch.

Corporate Taxes
30 mins · Sun, 15 Apr 2018
Many of America’s largest corporations shift a surprising portion of their profits overseas to avoid paying taxes. Even more surprisingly, that’s a legal thing to do.

Guardianship
30 mins · Sun, 3 Jun 2018
It’s alarmingly easy for a total stranger to gain total control over the life of a senior citizen. We enlisted a group of celebrities to offer a warning about predatory behavior...in a legal guardian or a hippo.
S05 E14
Stupid Watergate II
30 mins · Sun, 10 Jun 2018

Xi Jinping
30 mins · Sun, 17 Jun 2018

S05 E16
Mexican Elections
30 mins · Sun, 24 Jun 2018
Mexico is on the verge of a major election. John Oliver discusses some things we should know about the races and one thing we should not know about Santa Claus.

S05 E20
Astroturfing
30 mins · Sun, 12 Aug 2018
Organizations can hire fake advocates who create the illusion of real support for their message. It’s a shady practice called astroturfing that can warp the public perception of anything...even astroturfing.
S05 E21
Trade
30 mins · Sun, 19 Aug 2018
Donald Trump is waging a trade war that hurts a lot of American workers. Maybe he would understand that if our heavy-handed documentaries about the global trading system were more informative.
S05 E22
Felony Disenfranchisement
30 mins · Sun, 9 Sep 2018
Many people with felony convictions are unfairly prohibited from voting, and the worst state for this - surprise - is Florida.
S05 E23
Facebook
30 mins · Sun, 23 Sep 2018
Facebook’s global expansion has been linked to political turmoil overseas, so maybe their ads should focus less on how they “connect the world” and more on why connecting people isn’t always the best idea.
S05 E24
Brett Kavanaugh
30 mins · Sun, 30 Sep 2018

30 mins · Sun, 4 Nov 2018
John Oliver discusses the disturbing policy that separated migrant families detained at our southern border, and the disturbingly real chance that it could happen again.
S05 E29
Drain the Swamp
30 mins · Sun, 11 Nov 2018
Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp.” But considering the culture of corruption inside of his administration, Washington is looking awfully...swampy.

Authoritarianism
