117. Can Trump End the War in Gaza?

**Founding Members can listen to the entire Reagan series now: sign up at therestispoliticsus.com.**

In the final episode of the Reagan series, Katty and Anthony dive into the explosive Iran-Contra scandal — the secret arms deals, shredded documents, and the moment Reagan’s presidency nearly unraveled. 

Yet while scandal swirled, Reagan was also signing landmark nuclear treaties with Gorbachev. How did he survive politically? Was it his charm, myth-making, or distance from the details? 

And what about his legacy? We explore how Reagan reshaped the Republican Party, left behind a model of tax cuts and billionaire politics, and whether he ultimately set the stage for Donald Trump. 

Sunny optimism gave way to grievance; but did Reagan light the path?

115. Trump’s Gamble: The Night Before Government Shutdown

By the mid-1980s, Ronald Reagan was riding high. The economy had bounced back, and his “Morning in America” message carried him to a landslide re-election. But behind the optimism, crises brewed. At home, the AIDS epidemic spread while the White House stayed silent. Abroad, Reagan’s “evil empire” speech, nuclear near-misses, and the launch of his “Star Wars” missile defense plan pushed the Cold War to its most dangerous point in decades. Then came a new face in Moscow, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the first real chance to imagine a world without nuclear weapons.

Was Reagan’s success during these years a triumph of vision, or of image? In this episode, join Katty Kay and Anthony Scaramucci as they explore the highs, the crises, and the contradictions that defined the most pivotal stretch of his presidency.

Ronald Reagan vs. The Evil Empire (Part 4)

*Founding Members exclusive* Ronald Reagan seized the political moment after electrifying conservatives with his “Time for Choosing” speech. In this episode, Katty Kay and Anthony Scaramucci trace Reagan’s rise from outsider to Governor of California, navigating student protests, rising crime, and the turmoil of the late 1960s. Reagan became a national figure, and his ambitions stretched further. We explore Reagan’s first bid for the presidency, the lessons he learned, and how he built the political machine that would eventually carry him all the way to the White House.
