Trump on Iran Negotiations: “We’re Doing Very Well” | Balance of Power: Late Edition 06/22/2026

"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon says Israel is "very comfortable" with the US representing its interests in Iran negotiations, touting a "strong alliance" with Washington even amid questions about public strains between President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Joe Twyman, Co-founder and Director at DeltaPoll, says the economy and cost of living, not Epstein-related controversy, will likely be seen as the issue that brought Starmer down after the UK Prime Minister resigned. Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY), a member of the House Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees, discusses New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's endorsement of his opponent, Brad Lander, ahead of Tuesday's primary, saying Democrats broadly agree that life is "way too expensive" for most Americans.

'Boy, was I wrong': Embarrassed conservative admits CNN was right about Trump's deal

An embarrassed conservative columnist admitted that CNN had accurately reported on the details of President Donald Trump's proposed deal with the Iranian regime, even though the columnist refused to believe it. Becket Adams, a conservative columnist for The Hill and National Review Online, wrote in a new op-ed for The Hill on Monday that the president's cosplaying as "war chief" has been disastrous. He also slighted the so-called Memorandum of Understanding that Trump and the Iranians allegedly agreed to, which punts talks about the Iranians' nuclear program in exchange for allowing the global sponsor of terrorism to immediately resume selling oil. Adams argued that the deal showed "there’s nothing left except to concede that the U.S. was done in by a few mines.""Boy, was I wrong," he wrote. Adams claimed he took issue with the way CNN framed the agreement, saying he didn't believe the Iranian regime would think to close the Strait of Hormuz again. On Saturday, the Iranian military announced it was doing just that in response to continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. "The cable network later updated its reporting to explain that 'Trump administration officials briefed lawmakers on long-standing military plans to address a major disruption to the Strait, according to one official, but that multiple sources familiar with the session said there was no indication there were any near-term solutions.' I criticized this framing as well, given that the clarification was way off from the first claim," Adams claimed. "Again, I apologize. CNN’s sources were clearly correct. This iteration of the Trump presidency is exactly as inept as advertised," he added.
