Feb 24, 2019

Psychics is something fun to talk about. But John Oliver talks about the alarming fact that 4 out of 10 believe in psychics (according to a research).

Compounding Pharmacies
S06E24 · Compounding Pharmacies

Sep 29, 2019

Compounding pharmacy is a special kind of pharmacy which creates specific medication tailored to the specific needs of individual patients, both human and animal. These medicines are not commercially made which means that the FDA has no jurisdiction to monitor these pharmacies. This lack of oversight leaves plenty of room for corruption and fraud which directly leads to overpricing, patients not getting the treatment they need or, in severe cases, developing serious health issues and dying. Also, Trump's Ukraine scandal leads to Impeachment inquiry.

China's One Child Policy
S06E25 · China's One Child Policy

Oct 06, 2019

John explains the troubling history, brutal enforcement and questionable results of China's highly controversial, decades long, one-child policy, a punitive measure conceived originally as the simplest way to handle overpopulation. But, this was done without thinking through the long term consequences so China now has 34 million more men than women and both grandparents and parents have to rely on a single child to support them all. That is why the old two-child policy was recently reintroduced in an equally simplified and unfair approach to a complex problem. Also, ...

National Weather Service

Also, Stupid Watergate II continues with the arrest of Rudy Giuliani's Ukrainian associates, and John's show says goodbye to Fox News host ...

Trump & Syria
S06E27 · Trump & Syria

Oct 27, 2019

Middle East was and still is a place with multi-level problems, so it is always quite tough to make a policy which will satisfy everyone's interests. But it's even tougher to screw things up in the way Trump did with Turkey and Syria. John explains how Trump's abrupt decision to hastily pull U.S. troops out of Syria seriously hurt America's interests, reputation and allies in the region while also propping up America's rivals and enemies.
