Be sure to watch both parts of this interview to grasp Wilkerson’s perspective. (especially if you were enchanted with Gatto’s remarks!)
How Wilkerson addresses the Presidency and our diplomatic relationships with other countries is broad and meaningful. “We cannot be the new Rome,” he says, and he addresses more fully the paradigm we are in.
