However, after the debate concluded, both Republicans and Democrats seemed to focus primarily on one concern: President Biden's performance.

Bush, Marc Thiessen, and former Biden Campaign Surrogate Kevin Walling discuss the stand-out moments from debate night, how much a debate can impact an election, and the likelihood of Democrats potentially replacing President Biden as the presidential nominee.

President Biden and former President Trump faced off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle last night, in a highly contentious faceoff.

Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, joins to discuss how debates can make or break a campaign, their importance in past elections, and what to expect from each candidate’s performance. The Supreme Court laid down a 6-3 ruling in Murthy v. Missouri, with the majority deciding that the plaintiffs did not have standing in the case where they alleged the Biden administration coerced social media companies into censoring "misinformation" about the COVID-19 pandemic. The High Court also made an error this week, accidentally posting a decision in the Idaho emergency abortions case stating that abortions would be allowed in cases of emergency in the state. FOX News contributor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy joins the podcast to explain why the court ruled against Missouri in the social media case and weigh the outcomes of the potential Idaho decision.

A senior official in the Department of Homeland Security tells FOX News that nearly four hundred migrants crossed the Southern border with help from an ISIS-affiliated smuggling ring.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at a briefing with reporters to tout decreasing numbers of illegal crossings said the report was 'incorrect' but didn't not offer details on why he feels that way. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Charles Marino, former advisor to the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, Chief Executive Officer of Sentinel, and author of 'Terrorists on the Border and in Our Country', about the report and the level of concern we could have about a terrorist threat at the border.
