My Conversation with Garry Wills about William F. Buckley, Jr.


?>
Earlier today, I sat down with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills shortly after news broke about the death of conservative icon, William F. Buckley, Jr. Back in 1957, Buckley gave a young Garry Wills his first job, drama critic for The National Review. Among the questions I was eager to ask Mr. Wills what Buckley thought of the conservative movement and if it has moved away from some of the principles he championed.

My full conversation with Garry Wills airs Thursday night on PBS.
