How much contact should the federal government have with private social media platforms? When does that contact turn into censorship? Those were the factors the Supreme Court weighed on Monday, as they heard arguments in the Murthy v. Missouri case, where Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general allege social media companies like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) suppressed speech by encouraging them to remove misinformation about various topics like the COVID-19 vaccine. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey joins the Rundown to explain his state’s lawsuit, the threat posed by media censorship, and why he wants “a wall of separation between tech and state.”

President Biden travels to two battleground states this week in an effort to win over Arizona and Nevada voters as he heads into a rematch with former President Donald Trump. However, recent polling shows that Trump is ahead in both of these states, spelling trouble for the Biden 2024 reelection campaign. FOX News contributor and Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall joins the podcast to discuss the latest reports that the President is unhappy with his 2024 campaign efforts, a political shift occurring with Black and Hispanic voters, and why she doesn't trust the current polling.

Plus, commentary by New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz.
