Hasan Minhaj Tackles Fox News 2020 Election Fraud Claims | Rebel Wilson

name dropping me when you tell stories. And Missy jay Stone, we got a lot to talk about tonight, so let's get into headlines. Let's kick things off with TikTok. It's the app that taught me how to make spaghetti and 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

thirty days to delete TikTok from all government phones. Yeah that's right. President Joseph R. Boner Killer thinks that China could spy on us, But that's stupid because they use balloons now, Joseph. And you know what, China also thinks that this ban is stupid. A Chinese official is responding to this move this morning, saying, quote is the world's most powerful country. The US needs to be more self confident instead of being so afraid of an app loved

by young people trying China. Oh what you're trying to press me? Oh? You think America isn't self confident. We call our national champions world champions. You're saying, let's say we call dims on the moon, that's our moon. We invaded the wrong country and stayed there for twenty years. Do you think I don't have the self confidence to just mindlessly stare at my phone. I'll do it right now, China. I'll give my soul to this thing right now, China. Kdd DD. But seriously, do you want to know how

I know that China's really plan us. China doesn't use the same TikTok. Chinese TikTok has a time limit for kids. It's capped at forty minutes. Because China is smart enough to follow the fourth rule of the ten Crack commandments, never get high on your own supply. But let's because Biden isn't just moving against TikTok. He's also trying to kill student debt. And 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's one group that says, let's go clear history on everybody's student debt. Right when you think about that, don't do that, just to be clear, I'm not paying your student loan debt. I'm hussa minhaj, I'm not oprah okay. But then there's another group of Kirkland signature. Dad's going, hey, I had to work thirty hours a day to pay off my student debts. I got by Life's and so should you, kids, And Dad's 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're already they don't have health insurance, they're not going to be able to buy a house, and at some point they'll run out of clean water. So don't worry, boomers, You'll get what you always wanted, vengeance on your own children. Now, the big story that I want to talk about is all the drama in news media. Apparently everyone at GMA is taking the same guy. But these days the most

scandalous place in TV news is Fox News. Now you're probably thinking Fox News, Oh shit, they're still out here smashing in these streets calling women hags. Nope, those days are over. They're 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 R two D two looking Janitor cars, and now Dominion is su Fox for one point six billion dollars and the lawsuit is airing out Rupert Murdoch's dirty laundry. There was breaking news tonight involving Fox News and owner Rupert Murdoch 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 twenty twenty election. Murdoch acknowledging quote 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 system's lawsuits, Shocking new revelations, new bombshell admissions under oath. Oh is it a bombshell? Is it shocking? Is it explosive? Fox knew the election wasn't stolen, but they said it anyways, that's not shocking.

If Brian Kilmeade ever completed a wordle, that would be shocking. Now I'm not shocked, but I will say I am very entertained. Because of this lawsuit, a bunch of Fox News hosts had to release their text messages and y'all know this, Yeah, no, no, no, you know this. There's LinkedIn you and then there's eye message you. That's the deep dark underbelly of who you really are. And boy,

oh boy, where these eye messages? Good? New court filings show that in private, Fox host Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingram, and Sean Hannity were brutally ridiculing the claims of election fraud and the people who were making them. Top Fox hosts privately trash the Trump legal team for lying. As Tucker Carlson texted Laura Ingram, Sidney Powell is lying. It's insane. Ingram responded Sidney as 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 Ingram remarked, such an idiot. 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 out of everything we learned about Fox News, there was one text that came

out in discovery that truly freaked me out. It's when Tucker Carlson said Fox News had to be more supportive of Donald Trump's election claims. Tucker Carlson wrote his producer Alex Feiffer, do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we've lost with our audience? We're playing with fire for real? An alternative like Newsmax could be devastating to us. Do you and 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 were manipulating Fox News. So just think of it like this, Okay, Tucker Carlson is a moral vacuum, a whole, 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 stop sucking. For more on these revealing texts, we turned to a man I'm known for years, my good friend, Michael Costa, my new Michael. So I'll great to tell you, Michael Pasta. Now let's talk about this. Yeah, these text messages, they're devastating for Fox right, Oh absolutely, They're so embarrassing. I mean, being caught texting with your co workers. How humiliating. You know, what kind of losers have friends at work? I thought

we were friends. And that's what's especially embarrassing for these hosts that they could have avoided all 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. No, they didn't give them their texts. They were forced to turn them over with the subpoena. What Yeah, yeah, Michael, a court can force you to hand over your text messages. No no, no, no no, no.

Texts are private. 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 wait, you're telling me that if somebody hypothetically was running a slip and fall insurance scam with my grandma and her roommate at the nursing as, a court could get those text messages. Yeah, easily, Michael.

That would be very incriminating too. Okay, well, the blue bubbles, but not the green right, because because Beatrice Beatrice is on Android and it's just to set in her ways to switch, they can get every kind of bubble of Michael, what are you? Are you my dad? Let's focus on Fox News. Let's send Jesus Christ. What's happening right now is an existential christis. Financial loss is one thing, But the integrity of journalism in news, Jesus, what are you doing?

I'm just clearing some space off my phone. I mean, Jesus Christ, I have a lot of texts. The leading text is not gonna work. It's not gonna help anything. A court can still find them in the cloud. Oh yeah, but but not if it's password particular, it's password protective. Is your password one one one? Oh my god, They're gonna know everything and they're gonna flip Beatrice for sure. Nana, you have to smother Beatrice. Do it with the pillow

that says, bless this mess? Are you live? Texting a murder? Plain? No hous And I'm not stupid. I'm emailing here. It's a totally different They can still do that. It's the same thing. Okay, I watched this boom? All right there? Good love nabbing me now, Federles, Okay, talk to my lawyer, poland spring Hey, would you mind calling me? An uber? What's your address? Panama? Michael cos every Panama? And I'm hie when we come back, I'm going full hater on tech,

don't go away an welcome back Hey show. If you're like me, your life is both owned and ruined by technology, So I want to talk to someone about how to break free from it all. Even though I've made a career of standing in front of screens and flailing my arms, I have a secret to tell all of you. I hate technology. Every new gizmo and gadget claims to be highly useful and easy to use. But if that were true, then why are we so frustrated by technology all the

goddamn time? I decided to sit down with Marquees Brownlee aka MKBHD, who's been heralded as the greatest tech reviewer on planet Earth, bringing us endless videos of the newest high tech piece of shit. But could he convince me to join his Technomadia cult? Marques, you are like the Kim Kardashian up technology. What you say moves product, and you do have a lot of junk in your trunk to review. Has that been said? Where are you just? Yeah? I'm proposing that I like that you have dedicated your

life to reviewing technology. Why there's a quote you've probably heard any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. If you have a certain expectation and the tech actually gives you that output you expect, like that that working. I love that, And when it doesn't work, what does it feel? Incredibly frustrated to me? It feels like an abomination to society. Yeah, here's my problem. My brain is melting right now because I have to juggle one hundred apps just to communicate

with eight people. When I was in college, there were three ways to get a hold of me. Okay, call me if you're confident, text me if you're shy, email me if you're smart. Now it's a hundred apps. I Message Friends, Android, annoying friends, Signal, pretentious college friends, what's at annoying family members, Instagram, DMS, horny randos, Twitter, DMS, angry political randos, evie psychos, paperless posts, liberal psychos. That's just messaging Marques. So you do have the option to

not try any of the things you don't want. Until I go to a restaurant and you go, hey, can I get a menu? Yeah? And they go, oh yeah, just scan the QR code. I go no, No, I went to this restaurant to avoid being on my phone. And then they're like, oh, you have to also pay through your phone. In order to do that, you have to create a user name and password. Oh okay, so do you see what I'm saying? You just made this.

I'll have the tunamount six steps harder. There's a goldilocks zone of like going a little bit into tech and seeing real benefit before going too far. But we got to try a whole bunch of bad ideas before we find one or two cool things. Housen might like. Marquez wanted to prove to me that tech could be useful and user friendly by doing what he's known for a product demo. Secretly, I suspected it would turn into an

episode of this shit Doesn't work. These new tech enhanced products were a smart toothbrush, smart hover shoes, and a smart printer. And of course, all of these were supposed to be as easy as one, two, three. Right, let's see lean slowly forward, to move forward, slowly backward, to go backwards, and step off to get up. Okay, smart toothbrush, it's got a ton of sensors and it might be able to shed some light on something you can do better.

All right, let's see how easy it is. Sure, Look at that a sticker reminding you how easy it is. Gonna plug it in right here? Right? All right? Is it? Yeah? All right? Back to the future. I can't believe there's no straps twist me. Yeah, are you open up somewhere around area at a tab because a sticker says effortless? Wait? Wait wait wait? Why is it going to why is it possessed? Connect this too? App? Right? Right? App store app?

The problem is I just don't want my dentist to have even more info about me because I haven't been brushing the full happy birthday. Oh sorry, it says, do you not turn the power off until the initialization is complete. This takes about six minutes. So we're just gonna say, apples minuts. Where do I apply? So if I apply through? Yeah, so we have to make an account. We do have to type a wipecaut password. There's your keyboard, say kind

of type. By the way, there's capital order. I have to switch between upper case and lower case and then down, you know, relationship ten because of stuff like that one. Well, I'll set up my own account. You're gonna use your full government name. Yeah, I'm gonna do exactly what it asked me to. I cook by the book. Man, I get it a password and then you just straighten your feet. How do you feel? I feel like a baby Garrette. I have to tackle a wi by as well. Yeah

you want a password again? Yeah? Can you sign it to me? Unable to register user? Please try? Because what I'm saying try again? What does it say? That doesn't work? You know what? Man? How do I get off? H? You know it's not your thing. It's my thing? Brough? Oh you don't? Please try one more time? Third time? She doesn't work? Log in, log and and where what is the print? Ladies and gentlemen. Let's have our final products, shall we? I mean this, It doesn't work. It doesn't work.

It didn't work. I felt like I had just proved to Marquez that his entire life was a lie. But he had a slightly different perspective. The goal of tech is really to just work every time and be as easy as possible. So I would just say to have patience with the things that don't work yet, because maybe they will soon. The print users prints are doing, so maybe the way to fix shitty modern technology is by becoming more patient and understanding users. Why don't you like it?

There's an act open can clothes, you can close this ship doesn't why? Thank you Marquez. All right, stay tuned because when we come back, Rebel Wilson will be joining me on the show Don't Go Away. Welcome act to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor you may know from Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect. She's here to talk about the new dating apps she recently launched called Fluid. Please welcome Rebel Wilson. WHOA. Yes, I'm spreading Fluid America.

They love you, Rebel. Hi, guys, you're late. You should you should do a guest house week. Oh I don't know whether I could do what you do. Sometimes I've done hosting gigs and they terrify me, like because I said the British like Academy Awards, the Bafts, and it was terrifying. Is it because like British actors take themselves

very seriously. Yeah? Yeah. Like I made a joke about a male actor and then his wife came up to me and he's like, you know he's married, right, And I'm like, yeah, I wasn't like trying to get with him or anything. Yeah, okay, So it's very hard to host. Well yeah, I'm glad you're hosting. Thank you. I had a right sweeping of getting with people. You recently got engaged, Yes I did, yes, while you got engaged at Disneyland. Yes,

I got engaged in Disneyland, the happiest proposal place on Earth. Yeah. So basically, like, it's not like I'm obsessed with Disneyland. You I go there every weekend and every important holiday and every important life event. So I did actually get to sleep inside Disneyland for my fortieth birthday. So I got to sleep overnight and I got those little like disability scooters and went around just by myself because it around. Why sleep in an empty thing that's like a horror

movie that. It was really fun. It was really fun. And then I tried to break into the Truross thing and then I couldn't get that many. But it was fun. Yeah, you know, but were the rides open over night? No? They shut them eventually. Yeah. There's this whole thing with disney adults. Maybe I'm one of them. Did you notice something? There's actually gangs at Disneyland. There are like these gangs

of adults. They have like cool names, like the White Rabbits or Children of Fanos Coco locos, like, yeah, they have all these gangs and sometimes they were matching vests and they walk around and like do gang stuff. So there's there's like an initiation where you have to like stab Goofy or something. It was actually one of the initiations was you had to steal the apple from the snow White ride. And the apple kept getting stolen so many times that they had to make it a hologram

not a physical apple anymore. But don't ask me how I know about Disneyland gangs, because I will not say, yeah, it's not it's not like you're wearing gang colors right now at all. Right, I will say I did get banned from Disneyland for thirty days because I took a photo in a secret bathroom inside Disneyland when which is illegal at Disneyland. And I got officially banned for days. But they called me up and said, Rebel, what thirty days?

Do you not want to come to Disneyland. You're away filming a movie or something, and I said, oh, June would be fine. So that's how I know you're a celebrity. Like Disneyland has met gala rules where they're like no photos here and then you break it and then they're like, look, we have to punish you. But looking at your Google calendar, yeah you yeah. Do you as a as a Disney adult, do you have beef with quidditch adults because there's adults

that play in qudditch leagues. Yeah, yeah, you're laughing about like Harry Potter. You're like, yeah, yeah, oh my god, dogs. No, I don't have beef everyone. I'm just like spreading love and you know. Yeah, can I ask you a question? Okay, I always wanted to. I haven't done it yet, but I heard there is this like Disney Illuminati. It's called Club thirty three. Yeah, I know about this. So because I'm in it, I'm in it. Okay, So what this is a private conversation? Yeah, I mean it. Yeah, You're

not supposed to say you're in it. I'm not supposed to reveal all the celebrities who are in it or other members, but yeah, I am in it, and we do secret cool shit together, like sometimes we go into Disney at five am in the morning just run around do so. Yeah we really. Yeah, I have a secret gathering in Palm Springs because what Disney used to go

there to find inspiration. I don't know if you're Sometimes I say things it sounds like jokes, but it's totally totally yeah, okay, yeah, I'll go on to write a deep dive and confirm it. I want to talk to you about this amazing dating app you have, thank you, thank You. It's new, like none of the other dating apps have thought of this, and I was like, well, I thought of it, so trademark that shit. Yeah, it's called Fluid. And basically when I was I was on it,

I wasn't so lucky in love. I was kind of like a late bloomer. And I when you joined a dating app, which I did, this one called Rya, and you had to like tick you had to label yourself and then label what you were interested in. And to me, I kind of like it felt really weird to like tick a box and say yes, I'm that, And so I wanted to create a dating app where you don't

have to like label yourself. Sen's love without labels, and um, to me, it's really important because I think sexuality is yeah, so much more nuanced and complex than than just like labeling yourself and like you're a can of food or something um and uh. And so I wish that Fluid was an app that was available like five years ago because that would have really helped me a lot. And I was I was pre dating apps, never been. I'm ms dos, I'm like old school chivalry. My move was

in college with my wife. I basically just went to the registrar's office and then took all the classes she was taking until she broke up with her boyfriend. And yeah, I was laying back in the cut. You have to you have to respect how long I held my plank because I was premed for two years, okay, and I should not be premed there. I should not just wait when you say plank, you what do you mean? I'm like, like, you know, like and like and like when you're like exercising,

they're like, hold the plank. Okay. Yeah, maybe that's just that various boot camp that I got to. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Um. But the question that I had was how do you initiate conversation? That's a question, yeah, because people are going to be going on Fluid, They're going to be matching and then they're like what do we do? What do I say? Um? How do you? How do you inter emoji, just put a bag like you match with someone, send a mkuala emoji. It could

mean multiple things. I mean maybe it particularly worked for me because I'm Australia, but yeah, okay, I mean it's interesting what some people just do, like a wave emoji or something like not even just a sentence, just another emoji. I was like, what are you supposed to write back when someone does the hey? I have no idea. Yeah, I mean the hey, it's kind of just do you take it? As is that too much? No, like it would be too much. He's like calling you babe in

like the first message. Okay, you're not. You don't get to babe until like you've been on like five dates at least, I think, um yeah, or like just saying what about we meet at Starbucks at eleven am, like you know, you know, like up to somebody in a bar. I love. I would love the opening line. You've got

to have a bit of banter. Okay. So so what I recommend to people is, yeah, to do it, do a little bit of banter and then get down to business about when, when and where you're going to meet up in a public place for safety always like I did one experiment called the Year of Love in twenty nineteen, where I went out with everybody who asked me out as an experiment, so I was dating should be Yeah, yeah,

I think just ended everyone. That's the craziest improper. Yeah, everybody he said yes, unless they were in a federal prison. I went out with. That was the one caveat and like, and so I got I did get really good at dating because I felt like in my twenties I was studying and working, so I didn't I didn't really date much, so I had no experience. So I spent one really focusing on dating and but yeah, but I would just say banter it up and like yeah, and then set

up a meeting in a public place. Okay, safety can I can we can? I ask you about that opening hay? Do you go? Capital h y? Do you go? There's a serious shouting that shouting what yeah, if you capitalize it? What it's like saying, hey, no, come off as aggressive, no rebel all caps capital H, capital E, capital y, exclamation point. That's hey, is it? It's more like hey, yeah, you want to do like more like a Hamilton Hay, which is like, hey, you know in the you're so cool.

You know what, I really I would do lowercase when you text? Do you do do you use punctuation? Do you capital h y or do you do all lowercase? Are you like I do punctuation. Maybe it's because I'm a law school graduate. Yeah, me too. But I didn't know. I didn't know that's corny. Now like now it's all ironic detachment. I think that's a sign of good education. Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, thank you. I like you're about about that. Um. I wanted to ask you what is an instant red

flag for a dating profile? Okay, there's some things. A man holding a fish? Why? Who love nature? No? Something weird about it? Also, girl on a horse? No, whole schools? What about machu? What about Machu pichu? Guy, I'll have a lot of guy friends that are like sunglasses Machu pichu. It's in Peru. It's like a oh, and they need the pyramids or something. It's kind of like it's not there, that's ina but but but it is. It is like

a civilization built into a mountain. But they'll be like at the top of it and they're just like I'm Mike, you know, and it's just like sunglass, Like they're saying they've climbed this, and they might climb me. You I think, well, okay, I thought it would be hot, that could be hot time. I think it was more like I'm like well traveled and okay, okay, yeah, yeah, Well you can read lots

of things. I mean I definitely when I was on the app, so I would look at people's foot and try to work out things about them, and you know, if I thought they were like cool, really not? Yeah, yeah, but sometimes you can never tell them. Some of them do have a criminal record. How many criminals have you dated? Oh my god? I do have the number of the APPII because they volunteered to check people out for me. Yeah, okay,

we're putting okay fluid the app here what yeah. Yeah, whether they do this for all actors, but they're like, oh, you know, if you ever want to background check somebody, you let us know their name and their number. And so I did. It turns out that guy had an assault charge from Chicago. Yeah, and then and then I said, how bad is that? Because he was quite hot? And then they go, I wouldn't let my daughter date him. So I said okay, and I ended it. So the

FBI has really helped me. I did. The pizs and valleys of that story is kind of like MARCHI Picchuka. Okay, obviously you you founded this amazing app and not many females in tech. Yeah, let me get in. It's an amazing app. Okay, it's an amazing Um. How do you think this app would have changed your life five years ago? Um? I think it would have. I was someone who, like I didn't I was kind of dating guys, but I

didn't think I was a one hundred percent straight. But I just I grew up in a very conservative Christian background, and so I never quite explored that area. Whereas the cool thing with fluid is like, you know, maybe a woman would have popped up and I would have been like, oh yeah, and it's there's no judgments to like chat to someone on fluid and so you could and you would have just chatted to them and maybe I would

have got to know somebody quicker. Yeah. So I kind of wish it it was around earlier, and that's why I wanted to make it and put it out there and have it be a free app that people could download and hopefully will help lots of people find love and you could be like totally straight on it, you could be gay, you could be like in any of the intersectional queerness it's out there and find love on this and it actually just it widens the dating pool

and it's sure some people you won't be interested in, and then the algorithm will learn not to send you too many of those people, but they might show you a wild card. It's like when you're shopping for like a cheesecake and you might not know what flavor you want until you see it in front of you, right, and then yeah, and maybe you like, yeah, that's a movie that's tasty. Everyone, please be sure to check out the Fluid Dating app. Rebel Wilson, thank you so much. Thankful,
