00:02You know, sometimes history creates those moments that appear too surreal to be true.
00:08In the United States, next June 14th is set to be one of those.
00:13It's the day the US Army celebrates its 250th birthday.
00:18A historic event worth remembering, one year before the 13 colonies declared their independence.
00:24June 14th is also President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
00:30You see where this is going.
00:32Two birthdays and one opportunity for Trump's long-held desire to stage a military parade in the streets of Washington.
00:40Trump caught the parade bug during his first term when French President Emmanuel Macron invited him to the traditional Bastille Day parade in Paris in 2017.
00:51Now Trump wants a big one himself.
00:54For himself.
00:55According to official planning documents, the twins' celebration includes almost 7,000 soldiers, more than 120 military vehicles, 25 Abrams tanks, and 50 helicopters.
01:09Now experts are worried that these tanks will tear up the streets and damage bridges.
01:14Washington's infrastructure is not designed to support heavy military stuff, they say.
01:18And the mayor of the District of Columbia didn't outright reject the parade, but she said,
01:25if military tanks were used, they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads.
01:32By the way, money?
01:33No problem.
01:34Cost estimates run in the tens of millions of dollars.
01:37Nobody has an exact idea yet.
01:39This at a time when Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE and run by Elon Musk,
01:48have slashed federal agencies, personnel, and programs to crack down on waste.
01:53Meanwhile, opposition to Trump's military parade is growing.
01:56Thus far, in more than 100 locations across the United States,
02:00a coalition of groups is organizing a nationwide day of protests.
02:04They call the parade a spectacle more suited for kings and dictators, not U.S. presidents.
02:12So it's going to be no King's Day.
02:15One late-night comedian joked parade organizers should consider including America's most dangerous weapon
