“Balance of Power: Late Edition” focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Longtime Democratic strategist Jim Messina discusses Florida’s primaries and whether democratic socialist candidates can broaden their appeal ahead of the midterms. Michael O’Hanlon, Director of Research in the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution, assesses the Iran campaign so far, calling some of President Trump’s decisions “impulsive.” Former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says Attorney General Todd Blanche is “partly right” in arguing that the Justice Department should not operate independently of the White House.

Technology stocks lifted global equities after stellar revenue growth at Anthropic PBC bolstered the view that massive spending on artificial intelligence will be sustained.

Fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah flared in Lebanon over the weekend, the latest setback in efforts to end parallel wars in the Middle East that have dragged on for almost six months and disrupted global markets.

Israel’s military said Sunday that it killed Abu Hassan Alaa, a senior Hezbollah commander, in southern Lebanon a day earlier. Eleven people died in the Israeli strikes, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said were in retaliation for an attack by the militant group that seriously injured three soldiers.

Democratic Representative Gwen Moore of Wisconsin says higher gasoline prices are deepening Americans’ cost-of-living squeeze, pushing back on President Donald Trump’s comments that Americans should accept paying “a tiny bit more” at the pump because of the war with Iran. Rep. Moore says even modest increases are creating “chaos and hardship” for families. She also says Francesca Hong’s strong showing in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary demonstrated the resonance of her affordability message, while arguing Democrats shouldn’t be bullied by Republican efforts to characterize safety-net policies as communism. She speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”
