faced off since the 2020 presidential election and the earliest a debate has ever been held in an election year. at times it was tetchy with them sparring over immigration, abortion and foreign policy. the two etched out sharply differing views on russia s war on ukraine, and the role of nato. at one point president biden said mr trump was a convicted felon mr trump called mr biden a criminal. immigration was a key issue in the debate, with the two clashing with their different views. let s take a listen. i don t know what he said at the end of that sentence, i don t think he knows what he said either. we have the safest border in the history of our country, all you had to do was leave it. he decided to open up the border and are contrary to people that are from prisons. people that are from mental institutions and insane asylums, terrorists. we have the largest number of terrorists coming to our country right now, all over the world, notjust in south america but all of the

joining us now is sol wisenberg former independent counsel, fox news contributor and david schoen former trump impeachment lawyer. sol, what the surrogates of the biden campaign who pass themselves off as objective lawyers what what they are now urging is this. watch. what i say is safety first. the law actually has a vehicle to hold the dangerous defendant accountable and it s called pre-trial detention. when the fines come, the judge also generally say and i promise you, mr. defendant, if you do it again for a third time, you re going into a jail cell. i have a hard time imagining donald trump making it through this trial without landing in a jail cell. wow. say that again? [laughter] laura: look at those cackling cackling people on the panel. sol, your reaction to that? they are salivating over the prospect of pre-trial detention
