On Balance with Leland Vittert
All the President’s Problems | On Balance Full Show 5/21
Description
On this episode of "On Balance," Leland Vittert asks if the source of the problems in the White House is President Trump himself or everyone around him. Trump is getting bad advice from someone, focusing on things Americans don’t care about and ignoring everything they do. Whether it’s the ballroom or the Anti-Weaponization Fund, the administration needs to learn how to read the room, and fast. The economy is suffering, and so are Trump’s approval ratings. Mark McKinnon, the creator and executive producer of “The Circus” on Showtime, and Semafor's White House correspondent Shelby Talcott discuss the issues at stake. Meanwhile, could Cuba be the 51st state? It seems like déjà vu from Venezuela in January, with an indictment against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, military assets moved near the island, and similar sentiment from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. John Bolton, former Trump administration national security adviser and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, tells us whether Cuba’s fate will be the same as Venezuela's. Later, the release of the DNC’s 2024 election autopsy reveals a party in disarray, with no plans to address the issues that matter. Democrats need to face the music and admit why they lost. Mike Nellis, former senior adviser to the Kamala Harris campaign and author of "Endless Urgency" on Substack, analyzes the report. Also, Harvard University is capping the number of "A" grades given to students. Harvard faculty overwhelmingly voted for the new practice, but reactions from students and the public range from supportive to deeply concerned. Liberty Vittert Capito, host of the “Amended!” podcast, feature editor of The Harvard Data Science Review and Washington University professor, explains it all. Plus, a new Ebola scare has reached North America, with a Detroit-bound plane diverted to Canada carrying a passenger with possible exposure. Nerves are at an all-time high, with fears of COVID still fresh and the recent hantavirus outbreak, especially on the eve of the World Cup coming to the continent. Dr. Ashish K. Jha, senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and former White House COVID-19 response coordinator, discusses the disease. #Trump #Harvard #DNC "On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects.
