Our guest on this episode of How To Really Run A City: Joe Walsh, a former Representative from Illinois. He was a self-described Tea Party arsonist, right-wing radio provocateur and mentor to Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk. All of that changed when Donald Trump completely captured the Republican Party.

"I helped to divide this country," Walsh said. "People like me helped put us on this road. I have to live with that."

Listen to this episode for a passionate conversation about a return to civility and the true stakes of our national debate with a public figure who describes himself as a former "political asshole" trying to make amends.

As cities go, so goes the nation!
