America Might Be the Real Loser | On Balance Full Show 5/28

from On Balance with Leland Vittert · host NewsNation

On this episode of "On Balance," Leland Vittert wonders if President Trump will finally seal the deal with Iran now that an agreement has been reached. Americans are desperate for the war to end and the midterms are approaching. NewsNation's Libbey Dean joins us live from the White House. Republican strategist Kristin Davison, White House Semafor correspondent Shelby Talcott, and former acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Jennifer Gavito weigh in. Meanwhile, Ebola continues to spread, and it’s more dangerous and deadly than we may think. As the Congo struggles to contain the disease without a vaccine, the U.S. is watching closely to ensure screening remains enhanced. Chaos is mounting and options are limited. Former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden explains it all. Later, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had a strange message during the White House press briefing Thursday: Don’t believe what you're seeing. With the exception of the stock market, the economy is in a bad place for many Americans, with groceries and gas reaching record highs. Former Trump Senior Adviser Steve Cortes breaks down the issues. Also, Democrats seem to prioritize hating Trump more than winning themselves. Making your whole identity about hating a person who will be out of office in less than three years doesn’t seem effective with Americans. Jonathan Alpert, author of “Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided,” analyzes the situation. Plus, in what sounds like the plot of a movie, the FBI arrested a former CIA official, finding $40 million in gold bars, luxury watches and $2 million in cash in his Virginia home. Former FBI Special Agent and NewsNation contributor Tracy Walder details the case.
