The Rest Is Politics: US

*Founding Members exclusive* Ronald Reagan takes his biggest leap yet: from Hollywood star and California governor to the White House. In this episode, Katty Kay and Anthony Scaramucci chart Reagan’s bruising campaign against Jimmy Carter, a landslide victory that redefined American politics, and the near-fatal assassination attempt that almost ended his presidency before it began.

With his approval ratings soaring, Reagan rolls out his bold economic experiment — Reaganomics. Sweeping tax cuts, deregulation, and a dramatic showdown with striking air traffic controllers set the tone for a new conservative era. But behind the optimism and patriotic rhetoric lay recession, soaring unemployment, and a country still reeling from the turmoil of the 1970s. How did Reagan’s first years in power ignite a political revolution, and what price did America pay for it?

111. Charlie Kirk’s Murder and the Politics of Hate

*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.

In Episode 1, we trace Reagan’s unlikely transformation from small-town Democrat to Hollywood liberal, and finally to conservative crusader.
