The Pentagon

Simon Rosenberg joined Stuart Stevens for a fascinating, inspiring discussion of how we fight back and win against the MAGA Administration and its buffoons, grifters, disinformation spewers, sycophants, and all those who just generally want to dismantle America and separate us from our Western allies. Not so fast, Donald - we know you're the wannabe emperor with no clothes and we're pulling back the curtain.

The future of war is a complex mix of public and private, dated hardware and new technology. In this episode Rick speaks with Chris Kirchhoff and Raj Shah, authors of "Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War." They dive into the significant technological shifts impacting modern warfare, highlighting the disparity between military and consumer tech development. The conversation explores the bureaucratic challenges and innovative efforts of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to merge these ecosystems. Real-world examples from Ukraine and discussions on the future of autonomous systems and AI in warfare underscore the urgency for the US to adapt quickly and efficiently. Chris and Raj's book, "Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War," available now.
