DeepSummary
Ben Shapiro discusses the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He cites recent polls that suggest Trump is pulling ahead, putting pressure on Biden to perform well in the debate. Shapiro argues that Biden needs a strong performance to change the direction of the race and overcome concerns about his age and mental acuity.
Shapiro suggests that if Trump's lead becomes too substantial, it could incentivize America's enemies like Iran, China, and Russia to take aggressive actions before Trump's potential return to office. He believes these countries view Biden as weak and would prefer to make moves while he is still president.
The episode also covers the Supreme Court's recent decisions on abortion and government pressure on social media companies. Shapiro criticizes the Court for avoiding a definitive ruling on the latter issue, arguing it allows the government to continue coercing private companies to censor speech.
