Listen to Event Audio

What are the long-term implications of the United States’ current economic challenges, federal debt, and demographic trends for American national security? Although the president recently signed the $886 billion 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, what is the future of US defense spending? How do important federal domestic programs, interest on the national debt, and persistent and growing entitlement programs affect the funds available for national security? What types of spending does the Defense Department prioritize, and what does this prioritization mean? 

Brigadier General (US Army, Ret.) Mike Meese will join Hudson Senior Fellow Harold Furchtgott-Roth to discuss these questions and more.
