Summary

Desi Lydic covers Elon Musk's purge of USAID, Lousiana Senator John Kennedy's lust for omelets, and Trump's January 6 revenge on top FBI officials.

Troy Iwata checks in to answer the burning question: Is any of this legal?

How to Un-DEI Your Workplace: The Daily Show has you covered with this HR training video to help workers unlearn all those "woke" teachings.

Acclaimed producer and best-selling author Nicole Avant talks to Desi about the true story behind the Netflix movie “The Six Triple Eight” of an all-Black, all-female battalion that contributed to a victory in WWII and describes what she learned about the Coast Guard in her former role as Ambassador to the Bahamas. She also discusses her book “Think You’ll Be Happy,” which tells the story of her grief and path to healing after the tragic loss of her mother, and how her mother’s last words to her serve as both the title of the book and her mantra in life.
