1167 Inside the Reagan White House: A Speechwriter’s Secrets on the 1981 Assassination AttemptOn March 30, 1981, just weeks into his presidency, Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated outside the Washington Hilton. The official narrative? A deranged loner obsessed with Jodie Foster. But is that the full story?In this gripping episode, Richard Syrett is joined by Ken Khachigian, Reagan’s longtime speechwriter, strategist, and confidant. With a front-row seat to history, Khachigian sheds light on what really happened behind closed doors in the Reagan White House following the assassination attempt. Were there hidden forces at play? Did the deep state have a stake in controlling the narrative? And should President Trump push for the release of classified files—just as he has with the JFK assassination?GUEST: <a href="https://www.reaganandnixon.com">Ken Khachigian</a> is a veteran Republican strategist, speechwriter, and former senior advisor to President Ronald Reagan.
