7:00Now PlayingLeland Vittert argues that President Trump is deliberately baiting Democrats into opposing him on issues most Americans support, like immigration, gender in sports and crime. By railing against crime in blue cities during a lengthy Cabinet meeting, Trump set another political trap, knowing Democrats’ opposition would put them at odds with public concern, as polls show fear of crime is at all-time highs.
"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects. Weekdays at 9p/8C. #OnBalance
