Trump Whips Up Troops Into a MAGA Frenzy & Plans $45 Million Military Parade | Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka

Desi Lydic tackles Trump’s politicized Fort Bragg rally, which screened soldiers for loyalty and waist size. Plus, Trump plans a $45 million military parade for his birthday, and Ronny Chieng is pumped to sit courtside at a display of America’s military might. Corporate America has been suspiciously quiet this Pride Month due to fear of backlash from the Trump administration. Desi Lydic and Troy Iwata discuss the current muted tones of Pride Month, and how the corporations will have to prove themselves when the pendulum swings back to the gays. Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka talks to Desi about her new Hulu stand-up special, “Father,” including how her lack of housework partly inspired the title, as well as the intentional juxtaposition of her colorful clothes and set with the deeply personal stories she mines for levity. Okatsuka also shares how her Grandma Li was able to embrace her silliness later in life through their viral videos, and she explores alternate hairstyles if she were to ever change her signature bowl cut.
