Description

On this episode of "On Balance": Leland Vittert is having deja vu with the war in Iran, as are many Americans. We keep hearing the deal is near done ad nauseam, while President Trump has called off strikes planned for Thursday after the exchange of missiles earlier in the week. Can the Iranians be trusted? Our White House correspondent Libbey Dean joins us from Washington. Caroline Sunshine, former Trump White House official and 2024 Trump campaign deputy communications director, and Brig. Gen. John Teichert, a one-time Air Force combat pilot and former assistant deputy undersecretary of the Air Force, assess the latest developments.Meanwhile, the midterm general elections are heating up as the primaries wrap up. Trump is referring to Nazi tattooed Democrat Graham Platner in Maine as a pig, but he still leads incumbent Susan Collins in the polls. In a surprise turn, another Democrat, James Talarico, is virtually tied with Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton in Texas. Conservative commentator Chris Salcedo reacts.Later, SpaceX’s historic IPO on Friday will likely make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, a number with which most people are familiar but unable to truly grasp. A gilded age is upon America, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Former Trump adviser Steve Cortes weighs in.Also, there are mass protests and violence happening in Belfast after a man was almost beheaded by an immigrant. Does the rise of Islam correlate to a rise in violence? Niall Stanage, White House columnist for The Hill, discusses.Plus, for the fourth week in a row, gas prices are actually down, which many may not know because it doesn't fit the narrative of Trump and his economy the media wants to portray. Scott Shellady, the host of “Cow Guy Close” on RFD-TV, breaks down the numbers.This episode originally aired June 11th, 2026#drone #iranwar #trump #airforce"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects.
