On Balance with Leland Vittert
On this episode of "On Balance," Leland Vittert examines how the conflict involving Iran has evolved into what some analysts describe as a low-intensity conflict. Skirmishes continue, with both sides launching attacks and relatively few casualties reported. A ceasefire appears increasingly fragile as the two countries seem determined to outlast one another. NewsNation's Libby Dean, retired Rear Adm. Andy "Bucket" Loiselle and conservative commentator Liz Wheeler break it all down. Meanwhile, some Republicans argue that President Trump remains the dominant force within the Republican Party. Trump's endorsed candidates have enjoyed success in recent elections, underscoring the influence he continues to wield. Marc Short, former White House legislative affairs director during Trump's first administration and chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, weighs in. Later, Republicans saw notable success in California, as Spencer Pratt advanced to the general election for mayor of Los Angeles and Steve Hilton finished first in the gubernatorial primary. Some voters have expressed frustration with Democratic leadership and policies, including those of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Former Democratic strategist Evan Barker and NOTUS White House correspondent Jasmine Wright discuss. Also, Democratic candidates are facing scrutiny over past statements and associations. In Maine, Graham Platner has drawn attention over a Nazi tattoo. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed has faced criticism from opponents over his views on the Israel-Hamas conflict. In New Jersey, Adam Hamawy has come under scrutiny for comments regarding Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the Blind Sheikh. Jon Levine, a reporter for The Washington Free Beacon, joins the show to analyze. Plus, protests across the U.K. are expressing outrage over the killing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak and allegations that responding police officers mishandled the incident. Critics say officers believed the alleged assailant and told Nowak he had not been stabbed. Raheem Kassam, editor of The National Pulse and former adviser to U.K. Parliament member Nigel Farage, joins the show to discuss. "On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects. Weekdays at 9p/8C. #OnBalance NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all Americans.
