* September 9, 2014: In Michael Che's segment on some old bigot who wanted to stem the tide of refugee children, Michael went to the streets of Vermont to facetiously promote the movement. Several people stopped to tell him that refugee children absolutely deserved to come to America to have better lives, and got worked up about it. One was even a former refugee child herself. It's good to know that even with hateful people like the man behind Operation: Normandy in America, there are still people who want to look after all children.
