36:19Now PlayingOn Wednesday's episode of "On Balance": It's debate night in California. Bill O'Reilly joins the program as Leland Vittert anchors from San Francisco ahead of Nexstar's California Gubernatorial Debate. Golden State Democrats will be forced to defend their party's decade-long rule in the state as Republican hopefuls will answer for their ties to President Trump in one of the bluest states in America. This all as Iran consumes the White House, with the clock ticking on President Trump's new ceasefire deadline.
Chris Stirewalt, NewsNation political editor and host of "The Hill Sunday," also joins from San Francisco to discuss the real threat to democracy: redistricting. This comes one day after Virginia voted to redraw its congressional map, and now more states may follow.
Plus, the gubernatorial hopefuls will face off over a contentious topic: unchecked living costs. NewsNation's Nancy Loo visits the California-Arizona border and speaks with California drivers who travel to get cheaper gas with fewer taxes. Former Biden economic adviser Ryan Cummings weighs in on California's economic policies and what these candidates could do to lower the cost of living.
Finally, Markos Kounalakis, visiting fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, and Nicole Nixon, California politics reporter for the Los Angeles Times, break down what's at stake for each candidate in the debate.
"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects. Weekdays at 9p/8C. #OnBalance
