Erik continues his conversation with Dr. Jack Wheeler, the “real-life Indiana Jones.” After hearing Ronald Reagan speak as a college student at UCLA in 1965, Wheeler immediately volunteered to help if Reagan ever ran for governor of California. This led to him becoming state chairman of Youth for Reagan and establishing lifelong friendships with people who would go on to serve in positions of power and influence in the Reagan White House. Through his world travels, Wheeler noticed an emerging trend of resistance to communist imperialism, and provided crucial intelligence to the Reagan administration that led to the development of the Reagan Doctrine that ultimately defeated the Soviet Union.
