The Pulse Wave
⚡ Defense tech meets dysfunction.
Hosted by Virgil Virga, The Pulse Wave is where sharp satire meets serious analysis on the state of American defense, readiness, innovation, and government gridlock. Each episode cuts through the noise with bold takes, fast-paced panel banter, and zero tolerance for bureaucratic BS.
Whether it's recruiting wars, AI myths, shutdown fights, or military standards gone soft — we're talking about it. With guests who actually know the space and co-hosts who don’t pull punches.
Built for Earth.
Ready for orbit.
And built for a country trying to figure out the difference between defense and dysfunction.

Bubble-Wrapped America: China in Our Tech and HR in Denial
China isn’t just in our supply chain — they’re in our ports, our power grids, and our policies.
In this week’s Pulse Wave, we open with a monologue that calls out the obvious: China is built deep into America’s critical infrastructure — from cranes and transformers to solar inverters and comms gear stamped Made in China.
I sat down with Tom Weinert, Rob Murtha, and Nick Frazier to break it all down:
- How 80% of U.S. ports rely on Chinese cranes, and what that means for logistics and national security.
- The cyber threat from Volt Typhoon and why it’s been ignored for years.
- How North Korean laptop farms and fake recruiting pipelines are penetrating cleared industries.
- Why HR and program managers are now a front line of national defense.
- And whether America has gone too soft — arguing about pronouns while Beijing embeds itself in our backbone.
This is about more than cyber policy — it’s about grit, standards, and the price of comfort.
