The phrase, "And then tRump came into office," is more like the phrase, "Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked."

YES ✊😂
Oh dear lord That meme fits a little TOO WELL.
Except in our case, the Avatar just went INTO the Ice.
xwarriorone 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Haha that fits so well
It’s pretty sweet you put the full episodes on TH-cam
their 4 on youtube now
there not full episodes its segment of like a 4 hour day...
Not the full ep
on Netflix the episode is only 24 min, so this was the full episode :)
I’m legit pissed. Hasan was the only reason I caved and bought a Netflix account

"If these people are willing to risk their lives to travel 3000 miles and apply for asylum at our borders, we owe it to them to atleast look over their application, because at some point... someone... was willing to look over ours."
That is my favorite line too.
almost in tears..
@Apoorv Srivastava it's not legal and illegal man!! it's about they deserve the fair review of their applications.
@Apoorv Srivastava well at least you're not there either (which is a blessing), who's saying them illegal, even without letting them in (how can you apply your rules on someone unless they apply on them, Moreover if they wanted illegal, why they submit applications for asylum)
Moreover, you aren't putting yourself in their shoes.
I don't have bad wishes for you but I wish you ever get to be a refugee, which can actually make you understand the feelings, the emotions and most importantly FACTS.
@Apoorv SrivastavaSrivastava wow, it can be LOL or LMFAO for you, and moreover, it's not about your or someone's opinion or liking.
"You claim asylum on the border of the first country you enter" are you kidding me, do you even know how many refugees died in getting refugee from those bad situations which are somehow created in their countries either by invading, regime changes and so.
Hasan : * breathes *
That one lady in the audience : ahhahahahahahahhahahhahahhahaha
Thought I was the only one who heard her😂😂😂
as i was reading this comment i heard her
Its obviously a desi indian teen😑
Yikes!
bruh it's so distracting jesus christ
Respect for the people in the background who make this happen
👍
We need more people like you
Hasan: says something

She wants to be his 'mother' in the Mike Pence sense.. 😶
@@rax816 lmao
What was the time stamp?
You can actually notice that one audience member in almost all tv shows with an audience, they are meant to encourage other people to laugh and stuff. I find it really cringe and i tune out whenever i hear it.
Yah, I always notice that "big, fat guy" laugh track on the late show, and it's a bit cringy. Can't watch that show anymore for some reason, feel like it's really gone done hill the past few months.
Hi, old white guy here. I just wanted to say that Hassan Minhaj is my hero. Seriously.
@Luis Martinez so fucking what
@@vividhaiku wow, some serious insult chops there from a pathetic little coward. Yes...Corbyn...you are a pathetic little coward. I would call you a troll, but at least they can be more entertaining. You manage to try and insult someone using the basest and saddest of your little bubble's "insults". Seriously, leave the basement, take down your Pepe the Frog poster, and go meet some people that don't spend all day stoking their fragile masculine ego, and you may just become a better person.
Probably not...but you are such a lowly example of one now, I don't think it would be hard to become a little better.
c’mon, at least spell hasan right, man
The woman who's laughing out loud in this episode is so underrated. You should have her in every episode manh, she alerts me to go back if i miss a joke lol!
Lmao 😂
That's harsh
I never knew this show existed until my civics teacher showed our class this episode to teach us the problems about immigration in America this episode will be the start of this show
I like your civics teacher now x'D
But there is non-school appropriate jokes in here? Not to be a stickler or a goodie two shoes.
My cce teacher showed our class the student debt episode
i'm glad you're using your platform as a force for advocacy and change
thank you, hasan
@Charles Charlemagne triggered.

This shows going places. Interesting, informative and appeals to wide a variety of people. The hosst is too dope.
he's the most millennial out of all the political satire shows out there right now. he doesn't even wear corporate attire.
The way he deliberately leaves out information to construct a narrative will only further the rise of nationalism and right wing extremism. We are repeating the mindset that led to adopting national socialism as a seemingly good idea. Hasan is playing with fire when he doesn't bring up all of the arguments and facts. It just looks like emotional propaganda
@@FaCiSmFTW Okay then, Nazi.

@@FaCiSmFTW
What in the hell are you talking about? Where do we get this so-called other info? Fox? Alex Jones? Breitbart? It's funny how you people think you're smarter than the average bear, but you can't even watch a variety of news & form your own opinion. Talk about propaganda, you let these sources tell you what to think, for crying out loud!
John Oliver going on a winter break, praise be that we have a Indian version of him
LOL!
Dont forget handsome.
Praise be that we have a handsome Indian version of him.
I'm a fifty-five year old white guy, and I will take Minhaj over Oliver any day, and every day.
If Hasan reads these - gratitude, dude...
Of course the REAL issue: how do we get John to not abandon us, it's already the most hypocritical time of the year. I wake up every day feeling like his signature picture, face-planted at his desk... :-D
Praise be. Praise be.

I love your show and the amount of research gone into it🙌🏾🙌🏾

@@ajjjj223 yeah they literally made up every article and local tv news clip. ProPublica? what's that? never heard of it.
I think this could soon get over John Oliver
@@CosmicCricketa nonprofit investigative journalism newsroom? I know the name sounds tacky but that doesn't mean it's not real
You know it’s good when Hasan starts with “it’s about to get depressing” then roasts Alec Baldwin a minute later.
Stephen Miller is so cringeworthy. Shudder.
@P Last Name unlikely. Not consensually at least.
he is a snapper turtle, what do u expect
This is trippy. Baldwin killed someone today and US is out of Afghanistan.
I love how informative these videos are. it's hard to laugh at such brutal and unfair stuff. but Hasan makes these news easier to digest and makes people want to do something to change things for the better. i hope he gets the success he deserves. he's a gem of a person.
@Bryzz Lull sure granpa. where can i find these old scriptures you speak of?
Bryzz Lull history is written by its successors. Maybe you should just research and stay out of American History books.
You could start easy with a few good documentaries like "The Shock Doctrine" & "Four Horsemen". Look for docus that cite their research, watch stuff that white people don't normally watch. History is written by the winners.
Get into learning about Native Americans and First People and their stories.
The US was built on business. The HBC was here first, when the Europeans came here for furs and other resources, that's how the US began. Not Pilgrims.
“Untold history of the US “ puts things into perspective in regards to the fake hype that is America. And how FDR was a true patriot of its American people who served 3 terms. Not like this corporate run America and ‘fck the ppl ‘ mentality it is now.
@@lupav9754 how? FDR actually made the depression worse until ww2 that helped bring us out of depression
Honduran here. Without trying to generalize, usually middle eastern people in Honduras are the wealthy ones. So, it would be very difficult to find one just walking to the USA, they have visas
This is true within most Caribbean countries
Where are these middle easterners from if you don't mind
Palestine, from the villages around Bethleem for the most part. Other Latin American countries had more immigration from Syria and Lebanon. It's very old immigration too, between 1895 and 1918. At that time all that was still the Otoman empire, which is why arabs are usually called "turks" in Latin America. 95% of them are catholics or orthodoxes , less than 2% of them identify as muslim.
@@ballsislife6018
themroc Yeah, my great grandmother was a Lebanese immigrant to Chile around that time and she was orthodox
Trump and his allies know that there are likely no Middle Easterners in the "caravan", they just say that because it's a trigger phrase for their base. They hear "Middle Eastern" and they automatically think "terrorism". It's just blatant fear-mongering and it's sad that so many people believe it and fall for it.
I only have more and more respect for Hasan as these episodes keep coming out, I didn't think I could appreciate him more. He is using his voice in the best way possible by serving as a voice for so many. Nothing but respect.
"If these people are willing to risk their lives to travel 3,000 miles and apply for asylum at our borders, we owe it to them to at least look over their application. Because at some point, someone was willing to look at ours."
Oof. Powerful stuff.
Not really.
@@vividhaiku go back to Europe
@DM584 YOU are stupid and unfair.
@DM584 You're acting like applying for asylum is illegal, would you think the same if these people were jews fleeing persecution during WW2?
@DM584 these people are fleeing persecution and trying to keep their families safe, if they dont, they will die or be tortured by gangs, they literally aren't safe at home. Only reason they're being pushed back is because they're not white.
You're a true legend 🙌🏻❤️ hassan says things all Muslims wanted to say all their lives.

"There are only two things that are forever: the internet, and the US occupying Afghanistan."
Well. That aged like warm milk
What am I doing? Just voiling this milk, making some cheese, yk?
US occupying Afghanistan?
No. They helped train the afghan army to protect their country against Taliban .. and what did the army do as soon as th r taliban came back last year??? They ran like f cowards n left the people and artillery…
And guess whose suffering again now?? The women.
Back to being whipped on the streets for showing an ankle or being out. Schools shit. Jobs taken. Do u know the story of how two US soldiers threw an Afghanistan to the ground and slammed him , because they found out the guy was raping a little boy which is a normal and common part of their society.. known as baccha bazi (boys for sale)…
But yea.. you comment on how the US occupy there and haven’t done anything to help the ppl…
Cool
That one lady in the audience laughing so hard every time he says something
This was your best episode yet, brother. Keep 'em coming.
If only teachers were this good
@ you're evidence
Everytime Hasan speaks in Hindi, I'm proud he's an Indian.
He's American. Not Indian. He has Indian heritage and parents but his fight is the American fight.
@@MD-po7gz Heritage and personality is what matters.
You can take him out of India, but you can't take India out of him. 😎😂
@@manasvegi4170 The idea IS to take the Indian Out of him. If he wanted to be Indian he would have been in INDIA. heritage matters but not to the extent for disassociating yourself to the country that is giving you citizenship! He's American First and then whatever comes after.
@@MD-po7gz why does it have to be a zero sum game? He can be both. You can be culturally Indian ( which he is) and politically American. He is proud of his brownness AND his country ( the US). You can't touch his obvious love for and loyalty to the US but you also can't subtract his brown identity - it made him who he is.
People like Hasan act as a bridge between cultures. I think all of us can learn to appreciate such people ( because they are rare and beautiful) and don't find reasons to chop the bridge (at either end). Thnx.
Finally Hindus proud of a Muslim!
The instability in Honduras and the subsequent Migrant Caravan could have been a positive defining moment in politics. There should have been a U.N. meeting. Then, in partnerships with other countries and Congress' approval, there could have been a strategic effort to help these people.
Instead, the pinnacle of narcissism spun human tragedy into fear-mongering for the sake of midterm votes.
It’s 2021 and there’s only one thing that’s forever, and that’s the Internet.
I'll continue to pay netflix as long as they have shows like this and informative comedians like you. Thanks, and hope you get a big share of what we're paying netflix to broadcast shows like this.
Steve Miller at 17 looks like 40+ years old.
A balding one at that.
Not my saying, his saying.
no wonder he's so disgruntled
@@MBest12 When Miller spoke in these clips, he reminded me of that incel Elliott Roger, who killed people in the Isla Vista shooting back in 2014 because he couldn't get laid. Super creepy!
Well according to Rohl Dahl it doesn't matter what you look like you will eventually show all of the venom and bile in your soul.
Using Franco's family to driscibe ICE had me dying of 😂
Yes.. And i wasnt complaining tho 😂
"Did your hair leave you or did you deport it for being brown?!" I'm speechless 🙌🙌
"we owe it to them to atleast look over their applications ... because at some point someone was willing to look over our's " ....
This show is growing on me.
This show makes up for Last Week Tonight being off until February. You better not abandon me like John did, Hasan!
Aged like milk
I just love the flow of the show laughter and silence well mainatined by hasan 😘
That's the magic of the editing team. (They deserve kudos too)
Nice work. I admire the amount of research they put into this. This show is great. Thanks for putting the truth out there for everyone.
Keep putting this stuff on YT for free. It's good that there is more free and available factually based information on the internet.

Only just.
☺Immigrants pay their taxes while the wealthy horde and take money out of circulation
and the fanbase of the wealthy will leech off those taxes that immigrants provided while still blaming that they dont pay their taxes..ah..the circle of fucktardation
Yes immigrants do. Undocumented foreigners do not.
The only way you can claim immigrants are a net positive is if you lump in illegal and legal immigrants.
If you isolate illegal immigrants and run the numbers they end up costing taxpayers. Illegals don't pay more in than we spend on them each year.
They also use Hospitals and schools costing more taxes they could ever pay
@ 90% of citizens in this country cant pay hospital bills. Immigrants and non immigrants alike. It isnt because they're immigrants it's because its insanely fucking expensive for no reason
@@Aj-sn1dp there's a reason for everything. you can find out with a Google search
I learn more from Hasan than in school
Everything was white washed anyways.
Then your probably not paying attention
research counter arguments to what Hasan says and decide for yourself
@@noneya1238 How?
@@jonathantanner7083 because they only told the white side of the story, duh.
THE SERIES KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
The ending made my tear up. Thanks Hasan! 🙌🏾
Is extremely disturbing how much Steven Miller physically looks like Ghollum.
Gollum was just corrupted. Miller is town to the core.
Do not compare Poor Sméagol to this demon.
He also look like vlad dracula putin
This hit hard. I haven't heard much coverage on the huge hit H-1B visas took this year from Trump though and it seems that the US continually shoots itself in the foot when it comes to immigrants without realizing it has a mutualistic relationship.
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni Good grief! Take a chill pill. Fox and friends (& Don the Con) has got you all riled up! And now me, too. ;-D
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni And for the record entering this country in order to seek asylum is a freaking misdemeanor. Like getting a parking ticket. so relax! You'll live longer and there's plenty of other people you can use as a scapegoat for your problems. ;_)
(You and your criminal acts. LOL! )
Michael James I hope you could say the same if you were a mother with small kids, fleeing violence, drug cartels and sex trafficking, seeking a better life for her kids. I get that maybe it's written on a formal document that coming into our country the way that the caravan is is illegal, but if you can manage to look away from your TV on fox and friends for two seconds, you might be able to see that life and a lot of people's circumstances are more complicated than the words on that formal document saying that they can't be here. Walk a mile in their shoes because they've certainly walked many more than that to be a part of our country.
@@brookethebook5692 just because they come from a shithole country does not me we shouldn't inforce our borders, the fact is they need to come here legally, otherwise they will and SHOULD BE DEPORTED
Franco bros as example for ICE organization is cold, apt and hilarious... Best one oF this season...
14:00 this aged well
14:01 That Afghan aged so well
I get ideas on what to wear from Hasan.
I bet this is the comment that's going to make him the happiest
Nothing better than getting style tips while being informed on politics
OMG same! I'm totally digging his style.
Wonderful episode! I teared up toward the end there. Your show is exactly what we need today. I always look forward to new ones every week!
Hasan roasting James Franco is everything
This deserves way more than the one upvote I'm allowed.
As a child of immigrant parents, that last line made my whole day
That makes sense. Like your parents would have worked so hard to come the LEGAL way and like every other child of immigrants Minhaj argues for open borders. Spitting in the faces of legal immigrants who have stood patiently in line.
If Last Week Tonight were a TED Talk. I think I like it.
Another great episode! Please make sure the lady in the audience with a loud laugh is always there. Her laughter is giving me life! :D
So glad i'm African... Lemme know when Trump the Tangerine retires

@@neshgambi3633 Thanks! Trump will likely be voted out of office in 2020. It's 2018, we should have moved on from racism, sexism, Xenophobia, Homophobia, and discrimination.

I didn’t realize being of middle eastern decent was a crime
A lot of Arabs from south of the border tend to be Christian (except my relatives lol). In fact, as an Arab Muslim, I am a minority in the Arab community in the US (about 60% of Arabs are Christians). So wtf.
So refreshing to hear this kind of sound from the USA. We have a lot of extreem right racism in western europe and nobody can say anything on tv. I hope that in the future we will have something like this in Europe. Keep going bro!
Thank you. it starts with just every day people like you. Already, your kids will never be racists.

@@artheaux666 maybe not. Have faith, friend. 😉
Absolutely amazing Hasan. Thank you so much for speaking up for the many voices who cannot.

14:00 That joke about the US occupying Afghan “forever” did not age well 😂

I was seriously looking for this comment
Somehow he made a disturbance and sad topic bearable.

This may not be the most fun episode, but one of the best in all seasons and definitely my favorite
I look forward to every episode of Hassan's. He has been spectacular!
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU this is such a great piece. I want everyone in the country, hell, in the WORLD to watch it!!!
I will never understand that mentality. If a noncitizen commits a crime, then yea get rid of them. But if they're not? If they're just working and living, why get worked up over removing them? Imagine someone who's so unhappy with their position in life than instead of working hard to change it...they blame someone else. That's basically their thought process, isn't it? "My life will magically get better once you're gone!". And, of course, even if they had their way...no, nothing would change for them. Their life will, of course, still suck because they haven't done anything to improve it. So then I guess they'd find another imaginary enemy to blame. I don't know, I don't get it. I could never live like that. If I screw up, that's on me and only I can fix it. Not going to go around blaming some random immigrant because I'm feeling overly insecure. That's basically the only way to solve any of your problems. Take personal responsibility for your own life, and stop voting in leaders that sit on their fat asses all day fearmongering instead of working towards solving real problems.
Being a non citizen and working is a crime though...
If they are on a legal work visa sure that is one thing but those on legal visas aren't getting deported
@@michaeltpandola how about we start throwing into the jail then the ones who hires undocumented?
@@chrissiek8706 Hiring someone without reporting taxes is already a crime and people already go to jail for it
There are many complications that arise from undocumented citizens and it should not be downplayed.
You can't just displace american workers because somebody here illegally just wants to work. You will end up with disgruntled citizens and civil unrest.
"Did your hair leave you or did you deport it for being Brown" now available Hassan Minhaj version
God damn right. That was extremely well said. Wow, just wow man. I've just added a fourth political show to my roster, because you and your team know what you are doing.
22:46- "It's hard to feel like were not turning our backs on our own history."
*sighs*
Look my man: I love you like a brother and I agree with your sentiments here. 100%. But here's the thing about American history...
Here's a quote from Benjamin Franklin in an essay he wrote in 1755 titled “Observations Concerning the Increasing of Mankind, Peopling of Countries, &c.”
_"And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply’d and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors [Germans] be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion."_
You can read the whole thing here if you like: muse.jhu.edu/article/405697/pdf
You don't see that side of Benjamin Franklin very often in the history books, do you?
Here's another fun quote from Thomas Jefferson writing on the Catholic Church in France in a letter to Alexander Humboldt in 1813:
_"history, I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government."_
Thomas. Jefferson. On Catholics.
founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-07-02-0011
And then in 1814 to Horatio Spafford:
_" in every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. he is always in alliance with the Despot abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."_
founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-07-02-0167
In the 1850's, the Native American Party, also known as "The Know Nothing Party," ran on an explicit anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant platform. The Catholics loyalty to the Pope was painted as allegiance to a foreign leader. They believed that Catholics would not stay loyal to America, would undermine the system, and bring authoritarianism to the country. Immigrants from Ireland and Germany poured into the country in the 1830's and the party's anti-immigrant rhetoric won elections nationwide. They blamed Catholic immigrants for poverty, crime, a lack of jobs, low wages, and crowded and expensive housing. The violence they committed against immigrants before finally dissolving in the 1860's was extensive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing
Then there was the anti-Chinese movement that flared up in the late 1800's. In the 1900's through the 1920's a large movement against Eastern and Southern Europeans kicked off, featuring several proposals for a literacy test that were passed by Congress but vetoed by the president. Senator Henry Lodge at the time argued:
_"It is found, in the first place, that the illiteracy test will bear most heavily upon the Italians, Russians, Poles, Hungarians, Greeks, and Asiatics, and lightly, or not at all, upon English-speaking emigrants, or Germans, Scandinavians, and French. In other words, the races most affected by the illiteracy test are those whose emigration to this country has begun within the last twenty years and swelled rapidly to enormous proportions, races with which the English speaking people have never hitherto assimilated, and who are most alien to the great body of the people of the United States."_
Nativists often raised the question of whether or not the United States was a "melting pot" or a "dumping ground."
Also in the 1920's the Ku Klux Klan grew in popularity (anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, anti-alien, and anti-black), In the 1960's the Immigration Reform Act brought in many immigrants from third-world nations and a movement in the US against bilingualism began. This was followed in the 1980's by an English-only movement which tried to force English as the official and only language of the government and private sector. In the early 1990's California lashed out at the Mexican and Central American immigrants passing a highly-restrictive law that was rule illegal by the courts.
And now we have today...
So my point is when people say that Trump and his anti-immigrant language is un-American, they couldn't be more wrong. You can say it's vile, abusive, racist, defamatory, and actively harmful to the national discourse. And all of those statements would be completely correct. But the one thing you cannot truthfully say is that it's not in keeping with this country's legacy.
And we are only going to get past this as a nation is by acknowledging past mistakes instead of pretending like they never happened.
Glorious essay, sir. Take my like.
It's like that quote from The Last Airbender:
"Reagan... Bush... Clinton... Obama... Long ago, immigrants and americans lived in harmony... but Then Donald Trump came into office and everything went to sh*t..."
Miller is beyond weird.

13:58 that didn't age well
That Alec Baldwin comment hit different now
Such a great show this is! Watching from South Korea and a huge fan.
Omg the Alec Baldwin joke did NOT age well
What? You are so very wrong. That joke aged like fine wine. A joke doesn't age poorly when it is revealed to be more correct than ever imagined before. An example of the joke aging poorly would be if, say, Alec Baldwin had moved on after said joke to become president and proceeded to solve all of the worlds issues to create a utopia.
As an Australian, how did this go unseen. My man Hasan just said Yeah, Nah.
20:43
Didn't like him on Trevor Noah. He just seemed angry. But he has really come into his own with this show. Very enjoyable.
in his defense it’s quite difficult to not be angry when talking abt the bs the u.s. pulls

I like him he does a great job but on this topic I think it’s a little bit of a mess for me this is more nuanced than his jokes are implying. I can see the Donald Trump is bad xenophobic and often cool when it comes to immigration but at the same time we should have a secure border because hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants hurts the lower middle class in America that’s just a fact. We should be humane and not throughout millions of people who have been productive in this country even if they are undocumentedBut at the same time a country needs to know who is coming in and from time to time may need to tweak its policies depending on local conditions
