On The VICE Guide to Right Now, VICE's new daily podcast, we delve into the biggest news of the day and give you a rundown of the stories we're reading, working on, and fascinated with.

Today we discuss Rex Tillerson's possible ousting from his role as Secretary of State, Roy Moore blaming the LGBTQ community for his sexual misconduct allegations, and US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley saying that North Korea's missile launch brings the two countries even closer to war.

Then, we discuss a question that's been on the minds of some recreational drug users: Is cocaine vegan? MUNCHIES staff writer Mayukh Sen delves into the lesser-known side effects the global cocaine trade can have on the environment and various animal species.
