The first debate is in the books and it was a contentious one as President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden took to the stage last evening at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Here's a partial list of items Jim brought to the attention of listeners that were either from the debate or related to it:

--Questions loom about moderator Chris Wallace.  Did he lose control?  Was he biased against the President, particularly with his line of questioning concerning a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare?

--Audio from the president regarding the nomination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. 

--Audio from Joe Biden on eliminating the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court, including audio on the latter issue from VP candidate Kamala Harris.

--Biden claimed not to support the Green New Deal in spite of the fact that the Biden/Harris website appears to communicate just the opposite.

--Biden indicated that:

...he'll put the U.S. back into the Paris Climate Accord. 

...the nation will not build any more coal or oil fired power plants.

...ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization.

--Biden wishes that schools would teach more about the Islamic faith.

There's more to hear, including the views of Crosstalk callers from around the nation.
