On this episode of "On Balance," Leland Vittert questions how President Trump can win the Memorial Day conversation. With approval continuing to drop, Trump needs a comeback. To do that, among other things, he will need to tackle a divided administration, a crumbling Cabinet, get through the midterms and secure the Supreme Court. Steve Cortes, a former senior adviser for Trump's presidential campaign, and Lauren Wright, a Princeton University political scientist and NewsNation political contributor, give their take on how Trump can rebound. Meanwhile, NATO and the U.S. are at odds. Secretary of State Rubio is in Sweden to try to salvage the relationship, attempting to find common ground and restore the values once shared. Retired Gen. Philip Breedlove, a former NATO supreme allied commander, explains the condition of the strained partnership. Later, the affordability crisis plaguing Americans. President Trump’s policies are failing to lessen the burden of the war, with gas prices continuing to rise. Groceries are unaffordable even as the stock market soars. Former Biden Council of Economic Advisers and Stanford Institute for Economic Policymaking Chief of Staff Ryan Cummings and economist and Committee to Unleash Prosperity co-founder Stephen Moore discuss the economic outlook. Also, Spencer Pratt is becoming a bigger threat to incumbent L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. The Los Angeles mayoral race is tightening, as Pratt promises to address many of the problems ignored by Bass. Jennifer Horn, host of “The Morning Answer” on Salem Radio in L.A. joins former Democratic California U.S. Senate candidate and political strategist Christina Pascucci to dissect California’s challenges. Plus, is Cuba going to be any different from Iran? Trump may be starting another conflict with one already underway. Host of “The Manny Munoz Show” Manny Munoz analyzes.
