In this episode of The Republican Legacy Podcast, hosts Chris Vance and Merrill Matthews talk with former Ambassador and Reagan White House official Frank Lavin, author of Inside the Reagan White House, who reflects on Ronald Reagan’s core legacy: market economics, international leadership, and respectful, optimistic communication. Lavin contrasts those principles with today’s grievance-driven politics, warns against protectionism and weak U.S. leadership abroad, and makes the case that the Republican Party should once again be guided by competence, free enterprise, and a strong sense of purpose.
In the week in review segment, Chris and Merrill are joined by ORL State Chairs Richard Sansing from New Hampshire and Justin Bingham from Maryland. The conversation covers the fight over tariffs and economic policy, reactions to recent primary results in Michigan, Washington, Maryland, Texas, and Wisconsin, and a look at the 2028 landscape.
