the ipad already has a filter that limits your usage. it's called thbatter okay? and that whole 32 people on facetime? what is that? i feel like somehow it's going to turn into me with 31 screens of my mom, just my mom going like, "i don't understand!" and i'll be like, stop calling me on every line!" ( laughter ) like, why would apple want facetime to support 32 people? that's just pressuring me to get 30 more friends. it's ununnecessary. no, you tell me, who the hell has that many friends, huh? apple is just inventing features to make you feel bad about yourself. that's all we're doing. their next featureprobably going to be a penis measuring app that starts at nine inches. look at that. i can't use it. you know what's weird about this whole thing is that apple says they want to help us use the phone less, but then they're enda features to make us want to use the phone more. yeah, it's like a.a. trying to boost membership by agenda an open bar. they're like, "come on in, come on in." but let's move on.
1:41 am
because for the 500tth consecutive day of the trump presid is drama coming othis administration. after the super bowl, it is customary for the winning team to visit the white house, you know, how the same way in england how the to arm wrestle the queen. she wins every time. that's why she's still the queen. well, anyways, this year, most of the super bowl champion philadelphia eagles said they would not be visiting president trump, and so the president replied, "i broke up with you first." >> instead of being stood up, president trump is backing out. he disinvited the philadelphia eagles from visiting the white house today after reports fewer than 10 players plan to attend the ceremony celebrating their super bowl victory. the president tweeting, "unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event." >> trevor: huh, that's weird. trump is cancelling event of pei that must be a new policy, huh... ( laughter ) can we-- can we just acknowledge how weird it is that under
1:42 am
trump, no one wants to visit the white house anymore. the golden state warriors wouldn't go last year. the eagles won't go this year. in fact, the cleveland browns released a statement saying the only reason they've never won the super bowl is because they don't want to meet trump. yeah, apparently they're not losing. they are #resisting. ( laughter ) it's gotten so bad, that, like, they can't get anyone to visit. i wouldn't be surprised if, like, jared kushner is going to be on the corner trying to get people in. just like, "come on to the white house! ladies get in free!" ( laughter ) and now, if you were the president, and like 40 out of 50 players said that they weren't coming to your party, you would probably be embarrassed, right? or, or, you would come up with a crafty excuse about how those players didn't stand you up. they stood america up. >> donald trump saying, "the eagles disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem." adding"the team wanted to send a smaller delegation, but fans deserve better." >> the white house has now rebranded the day as "a celebration of america."
1:43 am
>> the president invited fans to attend a different celebration, one that he says will "honor our great country and loudly and proudly play the national anthem." >> trevor: he's simple but he's ilant. yeah. think about it, whenever trump is losing an argument, he just grabs the anthem and holds it in front of himself. that's all he does. he holds it in front of himself. "you wouldn't hurt the anthem, would you, would you? it's the anthem." he probably uses the anthem to win arguments all a is probablyt tonight, donald, i'm not in the mood." and donald is like, ♪ oh, say can you see "that doesn't work for me. i'm from slovenia." so instead of holding an eagles the president hosted an anthem party. if you're thinking i've never heard of an anthem par. there's no such thing. still, it featured all your favorite sports stars like mike pence and secretary of the treasury, steve "the mooch" mnuchin. you would think if you invited people over for a patriotism
1:44 am
party, you would at least know the wordmerica's favorite songs. ♪ from the mountains to the prairies ♪ to the oceans white with foam ♪ god bless america my home, sweet home ♪ >> trevor: ♪ oooohhh... am-am- america ♪ yeah, look, i mean, the song has only been around for 100 years. he hasn't had time to learn the words. don't judge him. and, you know, i'm not going to lie. i'm tired of this whole trump-anthem-kneeling debate. he say's oged that the players disrespect the flag and the anthem, but the truth is last the eagles never even ran that play. >> during the regular season, the postseason, there was never an incident of a philadelphia eagles player getting down in a kneel during the national anthem. >> the eagles were not among the players who kneeled for the national anthem.
1:45 am
>> trevor: i'm starting to think that president trump might be full of shit. ( laughter ) i'm starting to think that the truth is, we know he cares less about n.f.l. players-- quote, unquote-- disrespecting america than he does about jt kee issue going. because it works for him politically, because trump brag to the owner of the dallas cowboys that, "this is a very winning, strong issue for me. this one lifts me." "it's like the anthem. it's patrick swazey and i'm baby. it lifts me." ( laughter ) but whether or not this issue is a winner for trump in general, i think that this time, he might have messed up, yeah. because you realize the eagles come from pennsylvania, and pennsylvania is a swing state, a swing state that trump only won by about 44,000 votes, which is less than one stadium full of eagles fans. yeah. and now he's picking a fight with those same fans. this is not the group you want to pick a fight with. remember, these are the same
1:46 am
people that almost burnt down their own city when they were happy. ( laughter ) yeah. these are the fans who commemorated one of the best days of their lives by literally eating horse shit. ( laughter ) and you want to start a fight with them? if i were you, mr. president, i would quit while i was ahead, because between you and the eagles, we all know who's going to come out on top. ( laughter ) we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) [ music: "bygones" by oliver ] totally re-mixed. introducing the all-new volkswagen jetta.

1:48 am
1:49 am
let's do it. huh? let's do this. t's do this. ok. let's do this. >>let's do it. let's do this! >>let's do it. yeah. yeah! yeah. yeah! yeah! ♪ give your head a mtn dew kickstart ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." as you may know, this month is the muslim holy month of ramadan. and last year, president trump received a lot of criticism when he became the first president in two decades not to host an official ramadan dinner. in response, trump said, "i have no problem with ramadan. i just don't like muslims." but it looks like this year,
1:50 am
he's changing his tune. >> tomorrow, president trump will host a dinner recognizing the muslim holy month of ramadan. the event was not held last year. the move is a return to white house tradition. so far, a guest list has not been made available. >> trevor: yay! president trump making ramadan great again. for more on this news, we wandered around the building and pulled in the first muslim we saw. han minhaj, every ( cheers and applause ) what's up, hasan. >> what's up, man? >> trevor: so, hasan, the white house ramadan dinner is back on thar officially. how big of a deal is this? >> i mean, it's huge, trevor. ramadan is the month when muslims cleanse themselves by fasting all day. that means no eating, no drinking, no cursing, and definitely no face filters. we know yore not a puppy. no lying during the holy month, okay! ramadan is like lent and yom kippur combined. it's the ultramarathon of sacrifice. so it's nice when the president acknowledges that with a dinner.
1:51 am
>> trevor: yeah, but, hasan, how does it feel to have donald trump host that dinner? >> i'll be honest, trevor. when i heard the news, i was deeply offended. >> trevor: of course. >> that i wasn't ( laug >> tret, you w invited? f couri do! i meit is going to be a train wreck. ughter ) trump and ramadan. that's like mel gibson hosting a passover seder. ( laughter ) ( applause ) who would wouldn't want to see whatever that is? >> trevor: if you want an innovate, why don't you find another muslim who will be invited and just try to be a plus one. >> just chain migration my way into the dinner? i wish. i don't even know who is going. i scoured the minternet, which is like muslim internet, black twitter. nothing! it is killing me. i just want to just sit there and share some halal k.f.c. with dinesh d'souza. >> trevor: hasan, dinesh d'souza is not a muslim. >> i know that. you know that.
1:52 am
trump doesn't know that. ( laughter ) i will say this, though, any muslim who goes to this event is truly devout. >> trevor: what do you mean by that? >> i mean, this is the month of enduring hardship, and this dinner is going to be hall of fame hardship. you are coming off of 16 hours of no food, no water. you're tired, you're delicious. and then mr. travel ban walks into the room, and because it's ramadan, you're not even allowed to curse that orange-tinted, mother-- i'm sorry. i'm fasting. see, now that's a test from god. ( laughter ) >> trevor: i'm sure you know this, hasan, but there's a lot of speculation about why trump is hosting the dinner this year, right? some people think it's because the supreme cobout to rule on his travel ban, and he doesn't want them to think that he hates muslims. other people think he's doing this because he's planning to do like a "game of thrones" style red wedding. ( laughter ) >> or, or trump is finally thinking of converting to islam.
1:53 am
>> trevor: wait, what? >> think about it, trevor. he doesn't drink alcohol. he doesn't work on fridays. he named his casino the taj mahal. he's already 90% there. plus, it would be so dope to have our second muslim president. what's up, barry? ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) >> trevor: i mean, trump converting to islam. i'd have an easier time believing that if trump didn't hate muslims so much. >> you know who also hates muslims, trevor? muslims. iran hates saudi arabia. turkey hates syria. hasan minhaj hates kumail nanjiani. now, kumail, i told you to put me in "the big sick." it was the perfect role for me. but, no, you had to go with zoe kazan. and look what happened. your movie was barely a major hit, you selfish mother-- fasting, i'm fasting. sorry. >> trevor: hasan minhaj, everybody. we'll be right back. you gotta hold it in. you gotta hold it in.
