Summary

Desi Lydic covers Trump's state visit to South Korea, where he was honored with a "Yas King" rally, a golden crown, and the unofficial U.S. presidential anthem, "YMCA." Meanwhile, millions of Trump's constituents face a hunger crisis as SNAP benefits run out of funding due to the never-ending shutdown, and the GOP pretends there's nothing they can do about it. Not to worry, though, because Michael Kosta has a list of billionaire sugar daddies who are happy to step in and help, as long as Americans don't mind getting a little freaky. Democrats have been riding high since the success of the “No Kings” protests and the emergence of Democratic prospects like Zohran Mamdani. But why is the Democratic Party so afraid to harness this energy? Charlamagne Tha God breaks down how to swap this tired system for an energetic change. Emmy-nominated actor Aubrey Plaza and writer-producer Dan Murphy join Desi to discuss their new children’s book, “Luna and the Witch Throw a Halloween Party.” The best friends and co-writers recall how they met 20 years ago doing community theater in Wilmington, Delaware, and credit a healthy balance of closeness and space as the key to their creative collaboration. Plaza, a self-described witch, also shares how her grandmother inspired the book and talks about her return to theater in Ethan Coen’s Off Broadway play, “Let’s Love!” To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit http://hims.com/dailyshow Learn more about your ad choices.
