Topics
Desi Lydon: 特朗普将军队政治化，利用军队为自己庆祝生日。我对特朗普在军队的演讲中，士兵们嘘新闻媒体的行为感到震惊，军队本应保持政治中立。特朗普挑选士兵的标准是忠诚和身材，这进一步加剧了军队政治化的趋势。此外，特朗普计划花费巨额资金举行军事游行，这不仅是对纳税人的浪费，也是对军队的剥削，因为他们已经承担了太多的任务。我认为特朗普正在利用军队为自己谋取政治利益，这是一种非常危险的行为。 Donald Trump: 我认为拜登不够聪明，他一直都不是最敏锐的人。其他国家都在庆祝一战胜利，只有美国没有庆祝，但我们才是赢得战争的人。没有我们，你们现在都得说德语和日语。 Ronny Chieng: 我喜欢这次游行，美国人终于可以近距离观看军事装备了。这对双方都有利，MAGA可以看游行，自由派可以趁机占领美国。加拿大，你想让美国成为你的第51个州吗？

Shownotes Transcript

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.
