"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) says the U.S. must modernize its defense industrial base by accelerating procurement and investing in next-generation technologies like drones and AI alongside traditional military capabilities. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) says he opposes potential military options involving US ground troops or seizing Kharg Island, warning land combat would be extensive and could put American service members’ lives at risk. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) says Chuck Schumer is "setting us up for a shutdown" and urges Republicans to consider passing a continuing resolution early if Democrats do not engage on appropriations, saying, "I think we could."
