For more than four decades, Washington Post columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner George F. Will has written about politics and civic life through the eye of a constitutional conservative. In 2016, Will famously left the Republican Party to protest the nomination of Donald Trump as the GOP’s candidate for the presidency. Now, Will is out with a new book titled “The Conservative Sensibility,” which explores the Founding Fathers’ vision of effective government and argues for a return to the party’s core principles of separation of powers, financial prudence and small government.

Guests:

George F. Will, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, The Washington Post; author, "The Conservative Sensibility"
