As the world falls apart — and we prep for our Buckley mega-episode with Sam Tanenhaus — we're unlocking this fun episode from late last year. Subscribe at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/knowyourenemy">Patreon.com/knowyourenemy</a> to never miss an episode like this one. And please listen to Jesse's insane, hilarious, freakishly prescient (and fake) podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tech-talk/id1498677455">Tech Talk</a>. A palette cleanser for subscribers: we watched <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1723808/">Reagan</a> (2024), with our intrepid producer, Jesse Brenneman. Even better, the movie is based on the 2006 book, <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-crusader-paul-kengor?variant=32207719661602">The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism</a>, by Paul Kengor — who just happens to have been Matt's close mentor as an undergraduate student. Reagan clocks in at over two hours and twenty minutes, and it's a wild, even fantastical ride that offers a revealing glimpse into the conservative psyche and a faithful rendition of the most hagiographic version of the Reagan mythology, especially his personal responsibility for ending the Cold War and finally putting the Soviet Union on the ash heap of history.Sources:<a href="https://www.reagan.movie/">Reagan</a> (2024)Paul Kengor, <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-crusader-paul-kengor?variant=32207719661602">The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism</a>(2006)— <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/God_and_Ronald_Reagan.html?id=fsLCe12BNMgC">God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life</a>(2004)— <a href="https://www.regnery.com/9781610171526/a-pope-and-a-president/">A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century</a>(2017)Edmund Morris, <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/117452/dutch-by-edmund-morris-pulitzer-prize-winning-author-of-the-rise-of-theodore-roosevelt/">Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan</a> (1999)
