Chairman Mike Rogers on Modernizing the Military and Preparing for the Wars of Tomorrow

Send us a text Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, joins 13th & Park to discuss the future of America’s defense strategy and the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Rogers explains how the NDAA delivers pay raises for U.S. troops, invests in next-generation weapons, and accelerates the adoption of artificial intelligence in national security. He breaks down why America must modernize its Pentagon acquisition system, strengthen its nuclear triad, and repatriate defense supply chains away from China. From proposals like a “Golden Dome” layered air defense system to addressing recruiting shortfalls in the armed forces, Rogers offers a candid, insider’s look at the challenges and opportunities shaping America’s military readiness.
