  Paul Kengor on Writing The Crusader, The Book Behind the REAGAN Movie (Ep. 54)

  Sep 28, 20261h 21m

  Historian and bestselling author Paul Kengor joins the Making REAGAN series to discuss his book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism , the book that inspired the creation of the REAGAN Movie. Kengor recounts years of research into Reagan’s handwritten letters, speeches, childhood, religious beliefs and relationships with figures including Bill Clark and Pope John Paul II, revealing what he believes many traditional accounts of Reagan have overlooked. Kengor discusses more about the idea of the “Divine Plan” that Reagan and Clark called the “DP,” Reagan’s lifelong optimism, his years as a Rock River lifeguard, and the qualities that shaped his presidency. Kengor also talks about difficult and controversial moments in Reagan’s record, and what Reagan’s approach to leadership and political disagreement might mean in today’s deeply divided America.

  Ed Meese: 30 Years at Ronald Reagan’s Side (Ep. 53)

  Sep 25, 202655 min

  Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese sits down with Mark for a deeply personal conversation in the Making REAGAN series about Ronald Reagan, the man Meese knew and served for decades. From their first meeting after Reagan was elected governor of California to the White House and the final years of Reagan’s life, Meese offers a rare firsthand portrait of the man behind the public image—his character, humor, management style, relationship with Nancy Reagan, political instincts, and the qualities that even his opponents often underestimated. Meese also takes audiences inside some of the defining moments of the Reagan era, including Iran-Contra, the confrontation with the Soviet Union, “Tear Down This Wall,” and Reagan’s evolution on abortion and other major issues. He reflects on Reagan’s approach to leadership, the early signs of Alzheimer’s he personally witnessed, their final meeting, and what he believes history should remember about his longtime friend and president.

  Sep 24, 202623 min

  Former Secretary of State George Shultz sat down with Mark Joseph for a remarkable conversation about President Ronald Reagan, the Cold War and the historic Reykjavik summit with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Shultz recalled the disappointment of coming tantalizingly close to a sweeping nuclear agreement and shared what he witnessed personally about Reagan’s convictions, negotiating style and leadership. Shultz also reflected on his relationship with Ronald and Nancy Reagan, his experiences with the Soviet Union, his years serving in government under President Richard Nixon, the 1986 tax reform effort, and lessons from a lifetime at the highest levels of American public life.

  Benjamin Aaron: How Reagan Survived The Day He Was Shot (Ep. 52)

  Sep 23, 20261 hour

  Dr. Benjamin Aaron was the cardiothoracic surgeon called to treat President Ronald Reagan after the 1981 assassination attempt. In this remarkable firsthand conversation in the Making REAGAN series, Dr. Aaron takes us inside the emergency room and operating room, recounting Reagan’s severe blood loss, the race to find the source of the bleeding, the removal of the bullet, and the extraordinary fact that it came to rest less than an inch from Reagan’s heart and aorta. Dr. Aaron also shares what Reagan was like in those critical hours—from his famous “I hope you’re all Republicans” joke in the operating room to the composure and faith he displayed after nearly losing his life. Aaron reflects on the crucial decision that he believes saved Reagan’s life, why the president’s survival was medically remarkable, and whether there was something more than chance behind what happened that day.
