Episode 58

3:56 Since the president helpfully put them back in the news, VICE News explores why not earmarks and interviews one of the republican members of congress who has been pushing bringing them back. 7:39 The US-Mexico border has the fourth highest migrant fatalities in the world. One group of volunteers, who call themselves the Armadillos, travel to the desert up to two times a month to search for missing migrants before it’s too late. 14:08 Germans have been subjecting themselves to a massive social media experiment, in the form of a Merkel backed law that requires companies to delete posts that violate Germany’s strict policies against hate speech and other illegal speech—defined as anything from inciting violence to disparaging religious groups. 16:17 VICE News hits the road with Madison Rising, a patriotic post grunge band with hits such as 'Where was the media then?" and "Right to bear." We follow the band and it's unlikely management team as it heads from rehearsal in NY to a biker rally in Texas.
