Ep 117: A Wake Up Call: American Values and Excellence

This episode features: Robert Wilkie | Secretary of Veterans Affairs and former Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness The late Senator John McCain once stated that Secretary of State Anthony Blinkin was a threat to national security. The only time the Senator had opposed a presidential appointee. As war in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, more aggression by China in the Taiwan straits and a sanctions misstep that has South American tensions flaring between Brazil and Venezuela; it appears Senator McCain knew what he was talking about. In this episode, Sean sits down with former Secretary of Veterans Affairs and former Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Robert Wilkie. Robert explains how weak American leadership is leaving our country exposed. The Biden administrations tit-for-tat approach to proxy aggression is an utter disaster. In comparison to Trump's defeat of ISIS and Reagan sinking every Mullah ship in the water, the U.S. is overdue to send a devastating blow to an emboldened Houthis. Couple the Biden administration's failures with a generation taught to despise everything this country stands for, Robert makes the case that America needs a ground-up revolution in values and strong effective leadership.
