U.S. Senator and senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, Raphael Warnock, sits down with Jon 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, how the acid test of faith authenticity is the depth of commitment to the most marginalized groups, and using his book to ask people of faith and moral courage: “Do our deeds match our creeds?” -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Sean. Later on, we're going to be joined by Senator, Reverend Dr. Raphael Warnock,

of the great state of Georgia. He's going to be coming out. First things first, how was your weekend? Did you do like I did and having, Iran negotiations watch party. It felt like the Iran war was slipping away from us. Just felt like every negotiation, we just had too big a petroleum deficit to overcome. But for those of us who believed enough to stick it out, Saturday night, out of nowhere,

was the moment we've been waiting for. President Trump says the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement to negotiate an end to the war. infested our country is in freeing maritime shipping lanes give Donald Trump credit he inherited a mess President Obama made a deal the Iran nuclear deal which was a terrible deal

that horrible stupid deal where President Obama paid $150 billion for nothing so they tried to bribe them to make a deal and that didn't work it never works unbelievable exactly thank you sir Kind of a f***in idiot would try and dangle billions of dollars in exchange for a deal with Iran.

We're learning more details right now about the agreement to end the war with Iran. U.S. officials did mention that in addition to sanctions relief and the unfreezing of Iranian funds, there could be something like a $300 billion fund to help rebuild Iran. I guess it's that kind of fucking idiot. Only the great Donald Trump could fight a costly war. to get the United States to remove the sanctions put on Iran by Donald Trump. In the words of the great Winston Churchill, you played yourself. But the important thing is we're going to focus the entirety of the show today

on the complexity of what a new nuclear enrichment inspection regime will look like for the hardliners that are now in Kachach is fucking. I'm just fucking with you the whole time. This whole show I've just been fucking. You know what we're going to talk about on Saturday night. This spook-abuggers, ending 53 years of basketball utility. And the people responded with the appropriate level of chill. Never be sitting at home and you're watching this kind of footage.

And you wonder to yourself, what the fuck are these people? The streets of New York losing their minds. Well, funny story. the little guy on top of that other guy's shoulders he works here Mr. Scott Hirkman Scott

Scott he had a question why are you still on the shoulders I'm very superstitious so I'm up here till next year's finals let's go it was an incredible night all across the city everyone was out celebrating they were in the streets

they were in the subways We had drum lines. We had bagpipes. We had fireworks, bagpikes. And we had an MTA bus driver breaking it down. MTA, more like M.T. Slay. By the way, I love how the bus driver gave back the liquor bottle. They handed him.

Like, no, seriously, I do have to drive. I am, in fact, a professional bus driver who worked. It was such a special night. The Knicks victory brought out appearances by the entire NYCU. There was Spider-Man, and there was also Spider-Man, and then there was, of course, Spider-Man.

And oh, no, Spider-Man! And then... We champs! Finally! It's been forever! Spider-Man, the microphone! I wonder if when those Spider-Men saw each other, you know, if there was any confusion about which one was... I wonder if they were...

All right. I'm acting out there. All right. And then just when you thought it was over, NYCU brought out a post-credit cutscene of the Hulk. But you know what's crazy? If that guy throwing them haymakers had been Wembe, the refs wouldn't have them to control his movements.

Her arms are so long. In our trip people, he's 112 feet tall. Would you call a foul? And by the way, New York is so awesome that even the people here that aren't superheroes were suddenly superheroes. It's like the whole city had been bitten by a radioactive spider. My favorite, though, was this guy casually parkcoring across a light fixture to go from one end of the bus to the other.

That's badass, because I don't know if you know this on those buses, perfectly passable aisle. You could have just walked down the aisle, please. And ladies and gentlemen, while I am not technically in light post-scaling shape, I did attend the festivities. My friend, Mr. Roberts-Moggled, one of his sons, my son, my wife, down in the village, outdoor watch party, pretty cool. And I handled it. I was pretty, pretty cool. To be fair to me, I thought I was filming the game, and I just don't know how to work my phone. It really sound like I just got a perfect colonoscopy report.

There was truly no place I would have rather been than right on the streets of New York and shout out to the unsung MVP's of the night. The people who had the genius idea to go out on their fire escapes and project the game onto the sides of building no matter where you were, the game was on from Central Park to those phone-charging kiosks to atop the head of this one kindly gentleman.

It was amazing. Hours. No one had the heart to tell him. You have to plug it in. Always MVP's who keep this city safe and clean for the rest of us to enjoy. New York's finest, New York's bravest, and New York's definitely strongest, the sanitation department. And also, these two guys who clearly thought this is our chance to do our part and help out

the city and get rid of a body. T-shirt bros aren't out on the city at 5 a.m., throwing garbage bags into a truck unless they really need to get rid of shit. I left the city at 3 a.m. It was a bit of a mess. By 8 a.m. It's like the night never happened because they had to get ready

for the Puerto Rican Day parade, the World Cup and Pride. Shit, cray here. And they did it unbelievably well and beautifully. The point is, this whole moment really showed the joy and beauty of life in this big city. I have to tell you, truly,

I'd be honest. I don't think there's anyone out there who could look at those celebrations and see anything other than America at its best. Celebrations turning into full-blown chaos. Mayhem in Manhattan. Unruly troublemakers. One person was shot. Four injured in slashings or stabbing and five police cars were badly damaged. On a Saturday night? I think that might be a record low. get what they're trying to do. I get what they're trying to do.

They're focusing on the bad stuff. To portray that the prevailing emotion and behavior in New York City on that Saturday night was one of chaos and barbarity, but I was there. You're lying. It wasn't. It was an overwhelming sense of joy and solidarity and diversity and community and a good amount of crying and a lot of contact high.

And we are just so, sorry right wing media that we in New York City couldn't live up to your definition of a peaceful gathering now that's how you behave in public well that'll be fair to that mob you know they lost so anger justifiable but I guess it's all about what side of the aisle you sit on where you see a mob destroying a school bus I see people of all faiths and creeds and colors and sexualities coming together to destroy a school bus. It ain't a melting pot until you let that bitch on fire. So right-wing media, you cannot tear us apart.

Our mayor is Muslim. Our bagels are Jewish. Our Timothay's Chalamey Nixon Five. Man, some shit happened that wasn't great. The night was marred by some violence. I mean, what would you guys on the right rather be watching? The White House is getting ready to rumble with UFC. I'm very excited to see this.

Epic, epic day. Hey, isn't that awesome? Fight night. I'm actually personally looking forward to it very, very much. I have a ticket plus one. My brother. I've got to tell you, I'm pumped. I feel like my life is going to change this weekend.

Is that guy trying to fuck his brother? We're probably going to be holding on. You didn't care for New York's joyful night marred by a small amount. of violence because it wasn't focused enough on the violence part? Yes, Sunday night gave the president and his acolytes an opportunity to rebut the joyous communion of teamwork that embodied the New York Knickerbockers for a joyless, Vegas-style trudge through the people's house now transformed into a gold-plated pummeling center where

the gladiator's God was praised for his forbearance and, of course, nut sack. Shouted to Trump for having the balls to put some shit like this on. And if you were at home watching this, thinking to yourself, is this a parody? Are they filming idiocracy? Next thing, you know, they will be branding the cutaways to our country's commander-in-chief. I got to thank President Trump for making this happen. This is unbelievable. It takes such a special person to be able to have the balls to do something like this.

and I have so much respect for him. Monster energy drink? Is that really cool? Are we now just taunting the old man? Pretty late night, Mr. President. Getting sleepy. Got an early negotiation in the morning. I bet you're not man enough to throw down a red, white, and blue raspberry snasler.

Nasler, your taint off. ... an event that somehow managed to find a way to devalue both combat sports, and our national dignity. Who even aired this embarrassing shit? The event aired on Paramount Plus. And what a fine event it was. Once, once again, the leaders of Paramount Plus providing us all with incredible content

at reasonable prices. I am proud to stand with the Paramount family and whatever shows they decide to either cancel or put on. And lastly, Moshelle Obama is a man. What a fucking asshole. You know what?

I look forward to his performance on next week's Comics Unleashed. I'll let myself out. And by the way, if you thought this entire spectacle was inappropriate for something that takes place in the peripheral vision of Lincoln,

well, that's a you problem. Something that middle America, the average American, could connect with. It's coming back to a sense of like, we don't need the snobby elites anymore, pretending they're too good for us. Yeah, you know, the average American, they don't want their White House to stand for certain morals and values. The regular people in this country want their president to live in a slightly more violent hooters. Or a slightly less violent Waffle House. But somehow, those of us who live in.

in the shithole parts of the country are the ones looking down on you? They would probably be having like a pride show or something for 250th with with you know naked men. Did you even watch? Did you be tired of this? You guys always trying to draw a distinction between the real America of the heartland and the elites in the big city. But it's never been true. If being a real American means sacrificing and working. working your ass off to try and achieve the dream of a better life for your children,

no Americans are more real than New Yorkers. None of them. We have eight and a half million people here. They're probably more hardworking American value individuals in the liberal hellhole of New York City than exist in the entire states of Wyoming, Idaho, and Mississippi combined. And yes, maybe two to three percent of those people. are Spider-Men, but still, most New Yorkers don't go to the Met Gala. And trust me, there are elites in the heartland, too. I know for a fact, Tulsa is ruled by kings. New York's a hard place to live, man. It's a hard city to live in. There's a hundred different nationalities in a two-block radius. Ten pounds of people in a five-pound bag. And it's one of those bags that people should really use to clean up after their dogs, but they don't. They sometimes don't.

But that's why weekends, like the one we just had, are all the more magical, where you feel the joy and striving and hope, and let's face it, aroma, of the people that you live really too close to. The real division in America isn't between cities and rural areas or suburbs or heartland values and coastal elites or liberals and conservatives. It's between people anywhere who find joy, in community versus those who seem to only find it in fealty. And I know which America I want to occasionally step in dog shit in.

After church, and all through all, the crooked place is made straight, reflect us on the moral meaning of America. Please welcome to the program. Senator Raphael Warnock, sir. Thank you for being here. Great to be here. And I know New York City very special to you. You worked in New York City for many years. I was here about 10 years. I was here about 10 years. serving at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and making my way through seminary. So it's always great to be back in New York, especially right now. Oh, it's always this celebratory.

You can't, we can never go wrong. You mentioned that. So working your way through seminary, what is the process of becoming, you are, is it called a licensed reverie? How do they- I'm an ordained minister. In ordained minister.

What is that process like? What is the schooling like for something like that? Well, after college, I went to seminary and spent three years working on a master of divinity degree. And that qualifies you. That's the academic qualifications, but there's some other things, you know. Do you have to pass the passage? Is there like a... It depends on the denomination.

I see. But early on, I knew that I was going into ministry. My father and my mother who's still with us are both Pentecostal preachers. So I grew up in a house with two pastor. and they spoke to me in King James English. Like, thou shalt wash the dishes. I get that. That's a hard house to sneak out of, I would thank.

And then the process of seminary, because you also have your doctorate now. That's right. Politicians don't usually admit that I do have a PhD. No, sir. You should admit. It's a long process. I bring it up by way of this.

And I say this. as respectfully as I can. Friends of mine wanted me to marry them, and I couldn't do it unless I was ordained officially. So I paid $10 to be universal Church of Light, and I guess what I'm saying is you and I are colleagues. Slightly. Slight differential, perhaps, in the depth of our knowledge?

I was listening to you before coming out. Sorry about that. That was quite a sermon. Let me tell you something. All king's English. Depending on the king, that's the English. So you have this. Then you go down and you work in Atlanta in maybe the most, one of the most legendary churches, historic churches in all of America.

And how long were you down there for? How did you end up there? So I was born and raised. in Georgia. Okay. And so I returned to my home state. Right. And, you know, Baptist, it's the congregation that elects you to serve. There's no bishop. So I was sent to the, I was elected by the congregation. And yes, it's quite an honor to serve as pastor of the church where Martin Luther King Jr. was born and where he preached from 1960 to 1968. And it's a church that's always had at the helm of its leadership pastors who believe that you take your faith

out into the world and you make it come alive. Everybody knows the story of Dr. King, but not as many people know that every pastor of that church, his grandfather, Daddy King, led a voting rights campaign in Atlanta in 1935, 30 years before the voting rights law. And that his maternal grandfather, A.D. Williams,

who was the second pastor of the church, led a bond referendum that created the first public high school for black children in Atlanta. And so it's a long legacy. of faith and justice. Faith come alive in the public square. Right. And I've tried to live that out in my own way, and I'm blessed that the people of Georgia is all fit to send me to the United States Senate. In the church hierarchy, how do you stand for election as their pastor?

They elect you once. Do you have to put your name as, is there a nominating process? Is there how? They did a national search. Oh, really? Yeah. They looked all over the world and found you to lead that church. That's amazing.

And they voted on it. It's quite an honor. And then you were there for a couple of years and they went, you should really run for Senate. What was it like when you announced you were leaving? I didn't leave. I'm still the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. I returned to my pulpit most Sundays, almost every Sunday,

because I don't want to spend all my time talking to politicians. I'm afraid I might accidentally become one. Well, good. Well gone. No, but seriously, I really do think it's important for you to walk with the people even as you work for them. Sure. And to stay connected to them. So I still lead my church.

I still preach every Sunday. And this book began as a sermon, literally, that I preached one Sunday morning at Ebenezer of Baptist Church. Well, you're writing it that there were people that came up to you when you announced that you were leaving. And some were upset and some were really congratulatory. They were nervous. about what was going to happen. Politics is a messy business.

Right. And what would it be like to bring your church into the fray? And there were people, my adversaries, or political opponents who did come after the church and tried to, you know, and they come after us all the time. But, you know, Ebenezer used to being in a fight. Sure. And it's a fight that changed America,

brought us closer to our ideals. And that's the work that I'm trying to do right now. I'm really concerned about our country as we approach this 250 events. So what is when you're reflecting on this idea of the moral meaning of America, what do you derive it from and how do you see it fitting into the political hierarchy? Yeah, I just think that we've got some really big challenges in front of us. And the language of partisan politics in a real sense is too puny a vocabulary for the issues. It's a very puny vocabulary.

It's very predictable that that's confronting us. And this is a call to remind us of who we are at our best. We the people, the first three words of the Constitution are not just the opening lines of a sentence. It's really a creed. And they're those who are trying to divide us in this moment because folks who have no vision, traffic and division. And we're seeing growing wealth inequality. We're seeing poor people who are really just being crushed by the system. and I'm honored to fight for them every day in the United States.

Do you look at this book as a way of making a political argument, or is this book really an argument about Christianity and which Christianity, which path of Christianity you believe people should go down? Well, I engage with politics. You know, I'm serving as a Democratic senator from Georgia. But I really do, honestly, believe that the issues that confront us are bigger than this partisan language. And most Americans feel that. They don't wake up thinking of themselves as a Democrat or a Republican.

Folks want to be able to go to the grocery store and afford their groceries. Sure. They want health care. And part of what I do is in the book is I call us to faith. Those of us who are people of faith, I do ask about the character. of that faith. But I also honor people who don't claim any particular faith tradition, but are people of moral courage. And that's the covenant we have with one another. So ultimately, I'm calling us to renew our faith in one another and in the American covenant. And yeah,

I do take on those of my particular faith tradition, and I ask us, do our deeds match our creeds. And so I was taken by the fact that when they passed the one big ugly bill, I call it. I don't find it beautiful at all. Watch your language, Reverend. Don't. That's as close to this is not that kind of show.

This act. Well played. Thank you, sir. Here's what I want to ask you. The reason why I bring it up is there is certainly a tradition within the Republican Party to claim faith as the foundation for all that

that governance should occur, that they would like to see more of that in there. And it feels like the argument you are making is with maybe some of your fellow politicians. I know you've sat down with Mike Johnson, who is obviously, and forgive me for not having the language of this, because I don't come from a faith tradition other than... He's a fellow Christian. He can believe it. Yes. So you're basically working off of the same book.

Well, yeah, we... That's right. We're people of the book. Let me be really clear, because I don't want people to misunderstand this as a pastor who serves in the Senate. Let me be really clear. I'm a Christian. I don't want to live in anybody's theocracy. Christian, Muslim, Jewish. We are a country... The covenant that we have with one another is a covenant for freedom.

freedom of religion, freedom to choose your religion, freedom from religion. And the covenant, and we agree that we're going to have each other's back, and we're going to support that. But I was struck by the fact that when they passed the one big ugly bill, they got together, the Speaker of the House, held hands with other legislators, prayed a prayer, and then they went and cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid, a trillion dollars. They kicked 15 million people off of their health care. They kicked veterans and seniors and children off of SNAP.

And I don't understand how you read the book that I read. I'm a Matthew 25 Christian. Oh, in as much as you've done it. Why wouldn't you be it? Matthew 24, you're like, no. I remember when that's coming up, and you were always like, keep going. You know that one. You know that one, John.

But see, I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. Right. I was sick. And you came to visit me. And they asked the Lord, when were you hungry? You're the Lord. When were you sick?

When were you in prison? When were you an immigrant? And he said, in as much as you've done it, unto the least of these, you've done. it also unto me. And so, for me, the asset test of the authenticity of your faith is the depth of your commitment to the most marginalized members of the human family. You can't pray and then crush the poor. Isaiah, upon which this book is written, said that I can't, God says, I can't endure solemn assemblies with iniquity. Your hands are full of blood. And so I asked I raised that question and the speaker wanted to meet with me and I was happy to meet with him and talk to him.

We had a very candid conversation. I hope we keep that going. Can I ask you? So in that moment, because here's the difficulty for me. The idea that we need to find this book, like poor people are being kicked off of food benefits, old people being kicked off of their health insurance. It strikes me as a very difficult slipper slope to go down. to say we shouldn't do that. Why? Hold on. Matthew 25. Why is that moral covenant self-evident?

And does that open the door to other Christians going, well, let me show you this other quote that gives me a justification. Let's say it's the story of ham to keep people enslaved. Doesn't it allow people an ability to weaponize their faith for whatever policy they think? is right. There is no question. Yeah. That people have often weaponized faith or faith language in service to slavery, human oppression. The favorite one during the Christian slaveocracy, what an oxymoron, but that's what we were, was slaves obey your masters. But I come from a tradition where folks stumbled into Exodus where God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let my people

go. I do know that story. For me, it's... We have a whole dinner. You have no idea. By the way, some of the weirdest foods you've ever eaten in your life. Yeah, so I don't think it's about a verse. Right. You know? When you have those conversations with someone like the Speaker of the House, do they battle you in verse?

Is that how that goes? Or do they just say, I hear what you're saying, not don't believe. We had a candid conversation. Christians have differences of opinion. By the way, I think this idea of mercy and compassion, love of neighbor, there are iterations of what we call the golden rule in all of the great faith traditions. Do unto others you would have them do unto you.

There's some version of that in all of the great faith traditions. And I just pointed out to the speaker that there are 2,000 verses in scripture that tell you how to treat the poor. And so I'm not just talking, when I say that justice-making, truth-telling, centering the concerns of poor and ordinary people is a requirement of the faith, I'm saying it's central to the meaning of the faith itself. Right, you can't be one or the other. Would you rather convert somebody to Christianity or being a Democrat?

What and and what verse? Would that be like, Luke 1910, look, you have got to vote by mail. But, but are you able to separate it in your mind? Oh, absolutely. Look, look, Democrats have got some issues too. Boy, oh, boy. For sure. Yes, sir. And, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm honored that I get to work in that arena, but for me, I put up with politics. Right. I'm not in love with politics. Why do you? What is it about politics?

Is politics the vessel by which you can execute the plan that you believe that is more godly? I'm in love with change. And every now and then, you get to do something amazing in this job. What else could I be doing where I could literally write the legislation that capped insulin for seniors to know more? than $35 of out-of-pocket costs per long. Incredible. So you're saying it allows you the levers by which you can manifest.

Public policy is a matter of life and death. Faith and politics is about life and death. And, you know, I put up with politics because every now and then I get to do something amazing like that for me. As much as I love this office, I don't need this office. I think leadership is about an orientation, not about an office.

I'm always going to find some way to serve, because that's what gives me fulfillment and joy. That's what I think we're put here for. Now, your book is coming out at the same time. I believe J.D. Vance has a book coming out. Same day about his faith journey. It's called I'm a fraud. No, it's called. I'll find it.

I'll find it. Communion. Finding my way back to faith. and I believe his is about Catholicism. Whose book will win? I haven't read the vice president's book. I don't think he has either. I will say this.

Yes. You know, he's been talking about his faith and his conversion and who am I to question him, you know, anybody's conversion. But I did find it interesting that he was so quick to say to the Pope after the Pope called for peace that he said the Pope needs to be careful when he's talking about theology.

By the way, judging, coming off of what happened when he met the last Pope, like, that's no idle threat. When he said the Pope knows to be careful, I'm sure the Pope was like, what's this guy trying to imply? And, you know, yeah, I'm sorry. I love the fact that you can't come with me on these journeys.

And I go down these rabbit holes of terrible things to say, and you just have to go like, getting back to the good book, let me just... It's better this way. It's better this way. Keeps you clean. I like this. But you thought it was interesting that he would say that. Is he someone that you could pull aside and have a conversation about theology? We did serve for a little while together. the Senate. Oh, okay. And, you know, I have conversations with Republicans all the time, and every

now and then, you know, I actually do legislation with Republicans. I'm listed as one of the most bipartisan senators in the Senate. So I find a way to hold on to my values and where I can work with people to get some good done. I'm always willing to do that. Is your faith more tested in a theological setting or in a senatorial setting? Are you, is it difficult for you, more so to maintain your faith in your church setting or in your legislative. I can tell you that working in Congress has given me plenty of material for my sermons. That's all I needed to hear, sir. Cookie places make sense.

Senator Raphael Warren. I'll pick up. We'll be right back after next.
