In the aftermath of the presidential debate, Al and James sound the alarm on rising Christian Nationalism and welcome veteran journalist Ron Brownstein. They discuss the debate's impact on the race, weigh what Biden can do to counter a terrible performance, explore whether it's feasible to replace him, and game out what the process would look like if Kamala, Gov. Whitmer, or Gavin Newsom is chosen as the new candidate.  They also outline the dangers of the SCOTUS immunity ruling, determine if the Court has become a dominant campaign issue, and highlight the judicial branch's risk to our democratic system.
