0:00.0	Hi. Hi everybody I have the privileges speaking with Paul Kengore today.
0:19.2	He's written a book, many books.
0:21.9	One of them is for example, the Crusader, Ronald Reagan, and the fall of communism.
0:26.6	This is going to be made into a movie. I just interviewed the lead actor for that movie a couple of weeks ago, Dennis Quaid. And so that will be releasing, a movie
0:36.5	he'll be releasing at the end of August. Paul is also the editor of the American Spectator, and this month's version has a list of the best conservative

1:45.7	So join us for that.
1:48.2	So welcome, Paul.
1:49.3	I just read your book, The Devil and Carl Marx recently, and there is, a lot of it was striking to me for a couple of reasons.
2:00.0	I suppose reasons that are more idiosyncratic to me.
2:03.2	There are many reasons that it's of general interest.
