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?
