"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) discusses how the conflict in the Middle East is creating "massive economic uncertainty" for her constituents and specifically details how farmers are significantly feeling the impact. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS), a member of the Senate Agriculture and Budget Committees, defends staying the course in the Iran war, saying the US must “finish the job” to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
