As of 2026-10-05, multiple sources (AP, NYT via tier-2 reprint, Pentagon/EUCOM confirmation, Stars and Stripes, ABC) report the US withdrew all B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in England, with EUCOM confirming all bombers had redeployed to US home stations.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Now in the in the uh, in England, you had some terrorist attempt to attack a military base being used by the uh, American forces, ah, the the idiots in in uh, in Great Britain decided to release them on bail. I mean, unbelievable, and I guess the United States is saying, you know what, screw you, we're pulling our bombers out and now England is going, what, what, what, what, what? I mean honestly the stupidity of these people go ahead. They are stupid because with a president like President Trump, he's not going to tolerate stupidity. He's not going to put up with it. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The Pentagon's European Command confirmed that all U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford had redeployed to their home stations in the United States.[2][4][5]
Supports. Multiple outlets report at least 12 B-1 bombers were withdrawn from the Fairford base in southern England after new or existing threat reporting tied to an alleged Iran-linked plot.[1][2][3][6]
Context. Sources differ on the trigger: Trump cited a direct threat, while officials told NBC and others the departure was tied to existing threat reporting rather than a new threat; this does not affect the withdrawal itself.[5][6][7]
Context. The extracted claim is a faithful, slightly broader paraphrase of the speaker's remark about the US pulling its bombers; the speaker's 'screw you' framing is opinion and is not part of the claim's factual content.
