The Daily Show: June 15, 2026 - Sen. Raphael Warnock

Overview

Trump signs a deal with Iran that lands him back at square one, Fox News uses New York's city-wide Knicks celebrations as an excuse to smear Mayor Mamdani, and Jon Stewart dives into what Republicans stand to gain by pitting the Knicks' NBA championship against Trump's UFC fight at the White House. U.S. Senator and senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, Raphael Warnock, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss his book, "The Crooked Places Made Straight: Reflections on the Moral Meaning of America". They talk about Ebenezer's long legacy of faith and justice, why he continues to return to the pulpit most Sundays, his "candid conversation" about faith with House Speaker Mike Johnson, and how the acid test of faith authenticity is the depth of commitment to the most marginalized groups.
