Political Leadership in a Divided Nation: Pete Wilson’s Perspective

In the second part of the series featuring former California Governor Pete Wilson, this episode of "The Fourscore Project" delves into the essential values that have guided Wilson throughout his career in public service. Roger Clark and Governor Wilson discuss the critical role of honesty in politics, the decision-making process in leadership, and the significance of surrounding oneself with trusted advisors. Wilson reflects on lessons learned from his father and his approach to debates, including his insistence on a format where candidates directly question each other—a practice he argues leads to more honest and revealing exchanges. The conversation also touches on the changing nature of the media, its impact on political discourse, and the challenges of fostering unity in a divided nation.
