Jon Stewart has some concerns in the aftermath of Joe Biden's debate performance. Jon digs into the backlash to America's bed-wetting panic over Biden's incoherence, some of the president's recent slip-ups, the future of the Democratic candidate, and Biden's promise in an ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos to give "fighting fascism" his all.Joe Biden said he might drop out of the race if the "Lord Almighty" came down and told him to. So has anyone asked any divine beings their thoughts? Jon Stewart and The Daily Show News Team help deliver that godly message to Joe Biden from above. Journalist and best-selling author A.J. Jacobs joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book "The Year of Living Constitutionally," which addresses a timely question: What does the Constitution actually say? He shares his insight on the Founding Fathers' mindsets, how they'd react to the current political system, and living by the legal document word for word, down to writing by quill.

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight.

The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
