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?

116. Government Collapse: Why Trump Will Win This

Katty is joined by historian and co-host of Goalhanger’s Journey Through Time, Sarah Churchwell, to discuss their new series on the History of The National Rifle Association. 

How does the history of the National Rifle Association help us better understand how Trump got into power? How did the NRA go from a sportsman’s organisation set up to improve marksmanship following the civil war to a for-profit group fighting gun regulation? How did firearms become integral to certain conceptions of American national identity?

Listen to David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell on Journey Through Time to get the full story.
