Welcome to Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know. This week Hasan sits down with Senator Elizabeth Warren to better understand why our politicians are so old, learn how someone as smart as her operates in a place as stupid as American politics, and discuss the new IRS website, which allows people to file their taxes for free.

At the DNC in Chicago, Hasan speaks with Stacey Abrams, the voting rights champion who delivered Georgia and the U.S. Senate for Democrats. They discuss Kamala Harris, Gaza protests, and the nerdiest way to burn a confederate flag. They also talk about her brand new podcast, Assembly Required. https://crooked.com/podcast-series/assemblyrequired/

Hasan sits down with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to ask him why he spent the budget of a Pixar movie just to get a government job, and whether the only way to beat a bad guy with a billion dollars is a good guy with a billion dollars.

Hasan talks to Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan about why Wall Street hates her, whether she has access to Jeff Bezos’ text messages, and how to cancel his membership to Planet Fitness.

Hasan talks with Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg about high-speed rail porn, Space X, and why a mile of subway costs ten times more than a Marvel movie.

Hasan talks with America’s only sitting Black governor on “Progressive Patriotism,” how he became a Democrat with a Republican resume, and why we should replace the military with breakdancers.

The day after Bernie Sanders’ speech at the DNC, Hasan has some follow up questions for the Senator, like “What exactly did you mean by a ceasefire in Gaza?” and “What do I tell my friends who have given up on politics?” and “Do you ever feel like blowing your brains out?”

Hasan nerds out on basketball with the LA Lakers’ new head coach, JJ Redick. As they discuss sports media, the evolution of the NBA and dig into the “Xs and Os” of some legendary plays, it soon becomes clear that Hasan is a casual way over his head.

To celebrate the end of our first season of HMDK, we put together some of our favorite moments. Enjoy the highlights, and watch out for season #2 coming soon!
