Episode 21

Overview

Iraq’s central government took back disputed territory and oil from the Kurds in the northern region. Kurdistan continues to reel from its losses, and the resignation of its president, following a historic independence referendum which left their dream of autonomy in tatters. VICE News reports from the north of Iraq. During the 2016 campaign, then-candidate Donald Trump infamously told rally goers in Iowa "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." Now that he's president, VICE asks his supporters what (if anything) Trump could ever do to lose their support. The shooting of Kate Steinle was the first in a series of events that carried Donald Trump to the White House. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate is the undocumented immigrant who stands accused of killing her. Now, his trial is playing out in court. Even though the trial itself is limited to the facts of the case, the politics around it are unavoidable. VICE News takes a look at the Australia-based megachurch called Hillsong and it’s U.S. headliner Carl Lentz, as the religious brand wins over the hearts of young worshippers. Plus, 365 days after Donald Trump won the presidency, frustrated and horrified Democrats finally landed a serious counterpunch on Tuesday night.
