US Moves Bombers From UK Airbase as Threats Linger

"Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, says the Senate Intelligence Committee was not briefed about US bombers leaving a UK base and says lawmakers are not receiving regular updates on the conflict with Iran. Heather Conley, senior fellow at AEI, a senior advisor at Evenflow Macro LLC and a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, says conflicting explanations from the administration over the movement of US bombers from the UK's Fairford airbase raise questions about the military's ability to protect its assets. Patrick McHenry, Former House Financial Services Chair and Speaker Pro Tempore, says Republicans are playing defense in the 2026 midterms as campaign money moves toward races the party considers more urgent to protect.
