Descripción

On this special two-hour edition of "On Balance," Leland Vittert looks at the breaking news in Iran and the rising inflation back at home. The heavy exchange of missiles continues after yesterday`s attack from Iran, while inflation reaches its highest point in three years, fueled by the never-ending war. Bill O'Reilly, anchor of No Spin News, author of Confronting Evil, and host of the We'll Do It Live! podcast, weighs in.Meanwhile, the Epstein files investigation continues, with Bill Gates' testimony in front of Congress today regarding his relationship with Epstein. Was his conduct criminal or just creepy? Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer, Harvard Professor Emeritus of Law Alan Dershowitz, discusses.Later, voting irregularities in California seem to increase by the day. On top of counting votes at a glacial pace, there now appears to be evidence of ballot harvesting and paid-for votes. Laura Fink, Democratic Strategist and CEO of Rebelle Communications, and Peter Savodnik, Senior Editor of The Free Press, debate the allegations.Plus, the horrifying attempted beheading in Ireland is causing mass protests in Belfast. Violence and fires have consumed the city, targeting immigrant communities. Niall Stanage, White House columnist for our sister publication, The Hill, and Nile Gardiner, a former adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, assess the unrest.Additionally, back to the war in Iran. Trump can`t afford to restart the war, but also can`t afford not to restart it. The ceasefire has drastically hurt Trump`s position, and every day he is in a weaker position. NewsNation's Libbey Dean and Robert Sherman join us live from Washington and the Middle East. Executive Director of the Urban Warfare Institute Major John Spencer and National Security Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation Colonel Mike Jernigan analyze the situation. Looking ahead, to Bernie Sanders` impressive winning record this election season. From coast to coast, his socialist-endorsed candidates have succeeded, proving his ideology is still popular in America. Is this the future of the Democratic Party? Former Senior Advisor to Kamala Harris Campaign and author of "Endless Urgency" on Substack Mike Nellis reacts. On another front, Trump seems to think inflation is a joke, but many Americans continue to suffer from his failing economy. Typical summer jobs for young adults are now reserved for the wealthiest. Economist Stephen Moore, co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity and former Senior Economic Adviser to President Donald Trump, offers his perspective.Also, President Joe Biden is copying his wife, announcing he will be releasing a book himself. Both Joe and Jill seem to love the post-presidency spotlight, and it seems unlikely they will step away from it anytime soon, hoping to cash in like Kamala Harris did with her book. Mark Penn, the chief pollster for President Bill Clinton`s re-election in 1996, weighs in.Finally, the CEO of ActBlue took the Fifth countless times today during a hearing into allegations of the group channeling foreign funds to Democratic candidates. Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, responds."On Balance with Leland Vittert" airs weeknights at 9p/8C.This episode originally aired on June 10th, 2026.#iranwar #trump #newsnation #bombing"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects.
