"Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, says disruptions to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline and the Houthis’ ability to threaten the Bab el-Mandeb Strait illustrate how weaker regional powers can gain leverage through disruption. Michael Duffey, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, says that AI offers tremendous potential for the department, but says funding is essential to rebuilding the defense industrial base. Fred Wellman, Democratic Candidate for Missouri’s Congressional 2nd District and a US military veteran of Iraq, says Missouri’s redistricting fight created confusion for voters and discusses his campaign’s effort to reach voters across the district following the court decision.
