Kuvaus
On this special two-hour edition of "On Balance," Leland Vittert examines the candidacy of Graham Platner. While his supporters have claimed there are “no credible allegations of sexual assault,” multiple women have come forward with troubling accusations. Despite the controversy, Democrats continue to support the Maine oyster farmer, who has also faced backlash over a reported Nazi tattoo. Mark McKinnon, creator and executive producer of Showtime’s "The Circus," weighs in. Meanwhile, questions are emerging about potential voter fraud in California. Reports suggest dozens of voters may be registered at nonexistent addresses, including porta-potties, and nearly 1 million inactive voters remain on the rolls. Former U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., responds. Later, Katie Pavlich previews her interviews with FBI Director Kash Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, whom former President Donald Trump has nominated to permanently fill the role previously held by Pam Bondi. Also, former National Security Adviser John Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one count related to mishandling classified information stemming from material he later used in a book. Tom Dupree, a former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush, provides analysis. In addition, the trial of Karmelo Anthony is underway. Anthony faces murder charges in the stabbing death of fellow student Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet last year. Maryann Martinez, Texas bureau chief for the Daily Mail, and defense attorney Dan Cogdell discuss the case. Plus, will Todd Blanche be confirmed as attorney general? Despite expected Democratic opposition, the nomination could hinge on a small group of Republicans. A panel including Larry O’Connor, host of "The Morning Meeting;" National Review columnist Caroline Downey; and Democratic strategist Donte Mills discusses the outlook. In California, slow vote counting continues to draw criticism, with results in some races still unresolved more than a week after Election Day. Republican-turned-independent Rep. Kevin Kiley offers his perspective. Looking ahead, the controversy surrounding Graham Platner continues to grow, with allegations ranging from racism to sexual misconduct. Mike Nellis, a former senior adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris, reacts. Separately, the nation will mark the 82nd anniversary of D-Day on Saturday. The program reflects on the legacy of the World War II generation and compares it with younger generations today. Finally, in the U.K., protests have erupted following the death of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old who died after being handcuffed by police following a stabbing. A suspect has since been charged with murder. Former Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes offers his perspective. This episode was recorded June 4, 2026.
