Former Trump Cabinet Secretary Robert Wilkie joins Erin Molan for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense national security discussion at a moment of global instability. As tensions rise across the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific, Wilkie — who served as U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness under President Donald Trump — explains why he believes the current moment is reaching a critical inflection point. In this interview, Wilkie breaks down: Why U.S. credibility matters when deterrence is tested What history teaches about red lines, resolve, and consequences How Iran, China, and Russia are watching Washington’s next move Lessons from Afghanistan, Ukraine, and past wars that still apply today Why allied readiness — including Australia’s — matters more than ever This is not partisan commentary. It’s a strategic assessment from someone who has been inside the room, responsible for military readiness and national defense decisions at the highest level. Whether you follow Iran developments, U.S. foreign policy, Trump-era national security strategy, or global military deterrence, this conversation provides context that headlines miss. 👇 Watch the full interview and decide for yourself.
