Kristol has been a fixture of conservative politics for forty years — chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, founder of The Weekly Standard. He's now editor-at-large of The Bulwark, a media outlet and podcast network he helped build as a landing spot for Republicans who've separated from President Donald Trump. We discuss his work defending America’s liberal democratic principles, the future of American conservatism and more.
