In this special edition of The NIDS View, Jim and former Congressman Chris Stewart discuss the implications of government shutdowns on national security and deterrence. They explore the internal and external perceptions of these shutdowns, the impact on contractors and the defense industry, and the vulnerabilities that arise during such periods. The conversation also touches on the philosophical differences in government funding and the enduring strength of the U.S. Constitution.
