Podcast: Using AI to Prevent Pentagon Clown-Shows

Welcome to Zero Day Nation, an advanced computing podcast brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠Building Our Future⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode, host Brooke Fallon confronts the growing crisis at the Pentagon, as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is once again caught leaking classified information—this time into a Signal thread with his uncleared wife.

As Pentagon chaos deepens, we explore a deeper question: what if AI could stop the leak before it happened?

From zero-trust AI architectures to self-healing mesh networks, this week’s episode dives into the role artificial intelligence can play in making national security communications more secure, adaptive, and mission-ready.

This week’s highlights include:

• SecDef Hegseth leaks classified Yemen operations… again

• Fired Pentagon officials accuse Hegseth’s team of slander, warn of more bombshells

• Self-healing AI mesh networks promise comms resilience in contested environments

• Software-defined radios + AI = real-time spectral dominance

• Zero-trust AI systems could verify clearance and block unauthorized message transmission

• A future of intelligent, autonomous, and secure comms is not only possible—but necessary

Also in the headlines:

• Trump’s draft EO would gut the State Department’s Africa strategy

• China rallies nations to oppose Trump, meets skepticism

• The Supreme Court halts wartime deportations of Venezuelan migrants

• Nvidia pledges $500B for domestic AI chip manufacturing

• U.A.E. to draft national laws with generative AI

• OpenAI eyes a $3B acquisition in AI coding

Whether you're building hardened AI for the tactical edge, investing in battlefield mesh networks, or tracking digital disarray at the highest levels, Zero Day Nation is your secure line to the warfighting infrastructure of tomorrow.
