Bad Luck Trump Ruins Knicks' Winning Streak & Spencer Pratt Loses L.A.'s Mayor Race | Laverne Cox
6/10/202657 min
The Knicks took an L in Game 3 of the NBA Finals while Trump took a nap, and the president turns a blind eye to another loss: Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race. Upset at the drawn-out ballot count and falling rank of his fellow reality TV star Republican, Trump pulls the "rigged election" card, but Troy Iwata insists that this is just the way things are done in L.A., so chill. Much like his apps, Mark Zuckerberg has gotten a lot of updates over the years. From boy genius-ish to king of the Metaverse to one of Trump's besties, the Zuck has worn many hats and generated tons of controversy along the way. Follow his shape-shifting journey from dorm-room entrepreneur to science fiction overlord in The Daily Showography of Mark Zuckerberg: Human Status Update. Award-winning actress and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox joins Desi to talk about her new memoir “Transcendent.” They discuss some of the traumatic events of her childhood that she recounts in the book, how dance and creativity were a saving grace in her life, and how she has worked to find healing, purpose, and self-love in her adulthood. Cox also brings awareness to the Right’s coordinated campaign against trans people, especially in the courts where rights are being stripped away from trans people in real time, and explains how these attacks weaken the rights of every citizen.
