There was a time when this was considered a talk show... Oh how far we've fallen.

I miss having people intellectually having conversations on television. Thank you Mr. Cavett.

Amen. Conversation there was sometimes heated, but always civil.

Don’t you mean “… people having intellectual conversations on tv?”

@@fifthbusiness1678 No, I meant to write "people intellectually having conversations on television". It might sound odd to you, but grammatically it's correct. A stative verb such as intellectually, following the collective noun such as People, is a high english we use here in England, which, again, I'm being presumptive in saying so, might sound odd outside My country. Thank you for asking.

Me too!

Mr Buckley once said over the years he had several appearances on this show and Johnny Carson's, yet scarcely a trace can be found on YT in either case. Good to see the stuff finally getting released.

I was just watching Buckley and Goldwater speaking on Firing Line this morning on KZread. Perusing some old episodes.

Can you please go back to posting the exact date in the video description? Thank you,

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. From listening to it, I think this program aired in 1972.

It was after the Munich Olympics and before Nixons re-election, so latter half of 1972

More Buckley please !

Anger! There is no date for the clip in the whole description.

please put the original air date in the description of your clips

Aired June 7, 1972.

Mr Buckley has his nervous niche. Pulls out his trusty pen or pencil when ever he's on a talk show. We need more people like him.

It’s called conversation. It used to be on display every night on tv a long, long time ago.

Thank you for uploading this great episode of your TV series. An interesting guest, Mr. Buckley always was!

William Buckley is a fine human being 😊

It's great to hear what the Rabbi said about being anti-communist given how many people were afraid of being anti-communist after the McCarthy era and given what Nixon started with the Chinese which never made sense to me and in hindsight was clearly wrong, has been and is causing many problems for the West

"William F. Buckley has a knack of making you his ally." Cf. Sir Roger Scruton [to laughter and applause, after his interlocutor in a televised talk, a left-activist academic, was left with little choice but to grudgingly concede his series of points]: "I get this all the time. People say _I'm in danger of agreeing with you."_

When Buckley walks in the room, everyone else in the room shrinks to insignificance, without any effort on his part.

Buckley is very articulate. But his facts aren't solid. Especially when he speaks to real historians. Look at how Chomsky washed him up on his own show and panel.

Buckley is always so funny to listen to. One of the greatest comedians of his time.

Buckley's greatness has the whole stage uptight and nervous.

'You always look like you just got up.' It's deliberate, of course. And he doesn't get offended at all.

Please post some the Warren Beatty interviews, especially when he discussed Vietnam

I was wondering who the President was at this time. Please add the air date to the video title for context. (Nixon was mentioned more than half-way through the interview.)

I wondered the same and assumed it was 72 or earlier, as I know Nixon was still in office when I was born (Feb of 72). I believe one of them also mentioned the upcoming mid-70s as well. Fascinating conversation to watch and still relatable today.

Buckley refers to Nixon in n the discussion

Buckley! He gets a free pass on soooo much!

Buckley's wit and rhetoric are so dense and mesmerizing that -even without the clipboard- it's difficult to imagine anyone even managing a reply. And who's the guy who said "Looks like he just got up?"

If he is so witty, why did he play with himself at 11:12

Dick Cavett, best, most generous, balanced interviewer of all time. You should come back on TV. Of course WFB was such a prominent thought leader of the time, and Rush had some stories as well about this man. (Good timing on this drop as well)

Kahane was addressing the conditions today in 2024

Prescient sentiment 3:28😢

I guess that's how he became a Yale champion debater with L. Brent Bozell at Yale.

William F. Buckley, Jr, a sophist extraordinaire. As baseball players say, it's one thing to *talk* a good game; it's quite another to go out and pitch one, e.g., a no-hitter. 🤨

Oh they had no idea how many would actually die. No one survives a nuclear war.

Put a couple of Yaleees together and see what happens?

The rabbi looks like Ben Shapiro's grandfather.

WOW Cold War propaganda at its finest.
