Elon's Boring Tunnel & Race To Divorce: VICE News Tonight Full Episode (HBO)

This is the December 19, 2018 FULL EPISODE of VICE News Tonight on HBO.

2:17 Wednesday marks 20 years since President Clinton was impeached. VICE News sat down with former special counsel Ken Starr and discussed the Mueller probe (and Starr’s book).

9:24 Elon Musk's Boring Company is opening its first test Tunnel to the press and public on Tuesday. Although there has been a lot of press and fanfare about this debut, it's not clear what this means in terms of actually creating something that will be a part of Los Angeles' transit system. The city government offered a rare exemption from environmental review for this 1.7 mile tunnel, but did not allow that for other planned tunnels on the West Side. We'll visit with an engineer explaining past mass transit efforts in L.A. and ride along in the new tunnel when it opens.

13:09 VICE News sits down with Senator Dick Durbin to talk about the First Step Act which Senate leaders passed last night. Durbin, who originally opposed the bill, says essentially that Democrats should take what they can get. He says this a minor step in addressing criminal justice reform.

16:55 Under the GOP’s tax overhaul, divorce agreements finalized after Jan 1, 2019 will no longer be eligible for a 75-year old tax deduction for alimony payments. But splits inked before the new year will be grandfathered in under the old rules, for the life of their agreements, which is sending some divorce lawyers into a December divorce overdrive.

22:35 Anderson Paak is back to review new music this week.
