i actually feel in control. i feel alive. here. ah, dit dit dit dit. i got it. but you hurt your hand. i got it. right now? yes. you're not the least bit curious to hear a poem straight from ryan's soul? not at all. can we go? kapoor and kadesperate, he watches. second line. he is a drifter out to sea. and when the indian ocean calms, one speck of white remains, in waters cold and kelly green. it's just so dumb. but when he describes himself as a child lost on the life raft-- uh, ryan can never know. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from new york city, the only city in america, it's the show that invented news. this is "the daily show" with your host, hasan minhaj!

[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> hasan: hey, everybody! i'm hasan minhaj! and i'm on day two of hosting "the daily show!" i am back, baby! [cheers and applause] settled in, in. listen, it's days like today that i remember what my old boss jon stewart used to say to me: "hasan, please stop name-dropping me when you tell stories." miss you, j-stew. we've got a lot to talk about tonight, so let's get into headlines! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] let's kick things off with tiktok, it's the app that's taught me how to make spaghetti in a washing machine, but it also gave me adult adhd.

look at my pen. isn't this cool? focus, focus. but if you work for the government, your tiktok days are numbered. because the white house just announced that federal agencies have 30 days to the to delete tiktok from all government phones. [boos] that's right. president joseph r boehner keller thinks that china could spy on us but that is stupid because they use balloons now, joseph. and you know what? trying also thinks this man is stupid. >> a chinese official is responding to this move this morning saying, quote, "as the world's most powerful country, the u.s. needs to be more self-confident instead of being so afraid of an app loved by young people." >> hasan: okay, china. are you trying to press me? oh, you think america isn't self-confident? we call our national champions world champions! [cheers and applause]

listen, we called dibs on the moon. that is our moon. we invaded the wrong country and stayed there for 20 years. you think we don't have the self-confidence to just mindlessly stare at my phone? i will do it right now, china. i will give my soul to this thing. [bleep] adhd. [bleep] adhd. but seriously. do you want to know how i know that china is really playing us? china doesn't use the same tiktok. chinese tiktok has a time limit for kids, it is capped at 40 minutes, because china is smart enough to follow the fourth rule of the 10 crack commandments. never get high on your own supply. [applause] but listen up, because biden isn't just moving against tiktok. he is also trying to kill student at. today, the supreme court heard arguments about whether canceling student debt was legal. now you know this issue. there's basically two camps, right?

there is one group that says, let's go a clear history on everybody's student debt. right. but do think about that? [cheers and applause] don't do that. just to be clear, i'm not paying your student loan debt. i am hasan minhaj, i am not opera. per than there is another group of kirkland signature guys going, hey, i had to work 30 hours a day to pay off my student death. i got [bleep] by life and so should you, kids. and dads, i hear you. no one should be happy. but i promise you, even if student debt gets canceled, life is going to curb stomp your kids anyway. they are already [bleep], they don't have health insurance, they're not going to be able to buy at house and at some point, they will run out of clean water. don't worry, boomers. you will get what you always wanted. vengeance on your own children. [applause] now the real story that i want

to talk about is all the drama in news media. apparently everyone at "gma" is [bleep] the same guy, but these days, the most scandalous place in tv news is fox news. you're probably thinking, fox news? oh, shit, they are still out here a smashing the streets. calling women hags. nope! those days are over. they are dealing with this. cumbersome, ugly hardware. these are voting machines made by dominion, who no one had ever heard of until fox put them at the center of a mass conspiracy. fox said dominion stole the election with these r2-d2 looking janitor carts. and now, dominion is suing fox for $1.6 billion, and the lawsuit is airing out rupert murdoch's dirty laundry. >> there is breaking news tonight, acknowledging under oath that fox news hosts

endorsed false election fraud claims. >> it's a candid admission from fox news boss rupert murdoch about how his network handled donald trump's lie about the 2020 election. murdoch acknowledging "some of our commentators were endorsing false claims that the election was somehow stolen from former president trump." >> explosive newly revealed testimony in the dominion voting systems law should. >> shocking new revelations. new bombshell admissions. >> hasan: is it a bombshell? is it shocking? is it? is it explosive? fox or the election wasn't stolen but they said it anyways? that is not shocking. if brian kilmeade ever completed a wordle, that would be shocking. [applause] now i'm not shocked but i will say, i am very entertained. because of this lawsuit come a bunch of fox news hosts had to release their text messages, and y'all know this -- yeah, no,

you know this, there is linkedin you, and then there is imessage you. that is a deep, dark underbelly of who you are, and boy, oh, boy, were these imessage were good. >> new court filings show that in private, fox hosts tucker carlson, laura ingraham, and sean hannity were brutally ridiculing the claims of election fraud and the people who were making them. >> top fox hosts privately trashed the trump legal team for lying. as tucker carlson texted laura ingraham, "sidney powell is lying, it's insane." ingraham responded, "sidney is a complete nut." >> tucker carlson referred to donald trump as "a demonic force." >> the private mockery also targeted trump lawyer rudy giuliani. sean hannity wrote giuliani is "acting like an insane person," while ingraham remarked "such an idiot." >> hasan: oh, my god! do you realize what this means? these people are secretly sane.

they also don't respect anyone they have on their show. these guys are texting each other all day about how bullshit fox news is. their group chat is basically msnbc. but of everything we learned out of fox news, there was one text that came out a discovery that truly freaked me out. it is when tucker carlson said fox news had to be more supportive of donald trump selection claims. >> tucker carlson wrote his producer alex pfeiffer: "do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we have lost with our audience? we're playing with fire for real. an alternative like newsmax could be devastating to us." >> hasan: do you understand what he's saying here? he's saying, "if i don't say this bullshit, my viewers will leave me." this whole time, we thought fox news was manipulating its viewers.

but it turns out, the viewers manipulating fox news. so just think of it like this. tucker carlson is a moral vacuum. a hole, if you will. who glorifies election deniers. so, a glory hole. and his viewers expect him to please them with his mouth. and he's constantly terrified that they'll find a new more satisfying glory hole, and that's why tucker carlson will never gonna stop sucking. for more on these revealing texts, we turn to a man i have known for years, my good friend michael kosta. [cheers and applause] michael! so good to see you, michael kosta. let's talk about this. these text messages, they are devastating for fox, right? >> absolutely, they're so embarrassing. i mean, being caught texting with your coworkers, how humiliating!

you know, what kind of losers have friends at work? >> hasan: i thought we were friends. >> and that's what's especially embarrassing for these hosts is that they could have avoided all of this, just by not giving their phones to the court. the court won't know about your embarrassing texts if you don't give them your texts. duh! >> hasan: no, they didn't give them their texts. they were forced to turn them over with a subpoena. >> what? >> hasan: yeah, yeah, michael, a court can force you to hand over your text messages. >> no. no, no, no, no, no. texts are private. >> hasan: no, they're not. you can get them through a legal process called -- oh, my god, let's focus. listen. let me ask you this. do you think this lawsuit will finally end the election fraud claims once and for all? >> i guess, it depends -- so, wait, so you're saying if

somebody, hypothetically, was running a slip-and-fall insurance scam with my grandma and her roommate at the nursing home -- >> hasan: what? >> a court could get those text messages? >> hasan: yeah, easily. and that would be really incriminating. >> okay, well... maybe the blue bubbles, but not the green, right? because beatrice is on android and is just too set in her ways to switch. >> hasan: they can get every color bubble, michael. are you my [bleep] dad? >> jesus christ. >> hasan: back to fox news. a financial loss is one thing, but a loss of integrity in journalism will damage the entire -- what are you doing? >> just clearing some space on my phone. deleting texts. >> hasan: deleting texts won't work. a court can just get them from the cloud. >> it is password-protected, password-protected. >> hasan: is your password 1111? >> oh, my god. they are going to know everything. they're gonna flip beatrice for

sure. "nana, you have to smother beatrice. do it with the pillow that says "bless this mess." >> hasan: kosta, are you texting a murder plan? >> no, hasan, i'm not stupid! i'm emailing her, it's a totally different app. >> hasan: they can still do it! >> boom, boom. good luck nabbing me now, federales. talk to my lawyer, poland spring! hey, would you mind calling me an uber? >> hasan: what's your address? >> panama. >> hasan: michael kosta, everyone.

shit doesn't work." these new tech and hence products were a smart toothbrush, smart cover she was, and a smart printer. and of course, all of these were supposed to be as easy as one, two, three. let's see. >> slightly forward to go backwards, and set off to get off. >> okay. >> smart toothbrush come a ton of centers, might be able to shed some light on something you can do better. >> hasan: let's see how easy it is. it is writing you how easy it is. plug it in right here? >> yes. >> hasan: this is it? >> you. >> hasan: back to the future. twisting in. open up. >> somewhere -- there we go, a tab. >> hasan: the stickers as effortless. >> how was it going? >> hasan: why is it possessed? >> connect this to the app. >> hasan: the problem is, i don't want my dentist to have more info about me because i

box and say yes, i am that, and so i wanted to create a dating app where you don't have to label yourself. love without labels. and to me, it is really important because i think sexuality is so much more nuanced and complex than just labeling yourself, like you are a can of food or something. >> hasan: i was pre dating apps. >> you've never been on one? >> hasan: no. old-school chivalry. my move was, in college with my wife, i basically just went to the registrar's office, and took all of the classes she was taking. until she broke up with her boyfriend. the question i have for you is, what is an instant red flag for a dating profile? >> okay. there are some things. a man holding a fish. >> hasan: [laughs] what?

[cheers and applause] >> hasan: how do you think this app would have changed your life five years ago? >> i think it would have -- i was someone who, like, i was

kind of dating guys but i didn't think i was 100% straight, but i just grew up in a very conservative christian background, so i never quite explored that area. yeah, so i kind of wish it was around earlier and that is why i wanted to make it and put it out there and have it be a free app that people could download and hopefully it will help lots of people find love. and you could be totally straight on it, you could be gay, in any of the intersectional queerness that is out there. and find love on this. it widens the dating pool. and it might be someone who you are interested in and the algorithm will learn to not send you too many of those. they might show you a wild card. it is like when you're shopping for a cheesecake and you might not know what flavor you want until you see it in front of you. >> hasan: right. >> and then, yeah.
