The Daily Show - Season 31 Episode 86 : July 14, 2026 - Beth Kobliner 2026

Michael Kosta covers Trump’s packed schedule: hosting an IndyCar event, offering a dubious medical explanation for Lindsey Graham’s “blow up,” and reviving Iran tensions over Strait of Hormuz tolls. Graham’s successor is confirmed—and despite being his sister, she may be America’s most qualified senator. The Daily Show also counts down the biggest moments in America’s 250-year history, from the Declaration of Independence and World War II to Lenny Kravitz’s wardrobe malfunction. Financial literacy expert Beth Kobliner joins Michael to discuss the 5th edition of her bestseller, "Get a Financial Life", why more schools should teach personal finance, and how basics like high-yield savings, investing, credit scores, debt, and retirement accounts are easier to understand than banks make them seem. Plus, Kosta fields “broke Daily Show staff” questions on bank robbery as retirement planning and whether Gen Z will ever own a home.
