Summary

Grace sits down with Billy Webster—former White House staffer, business leader, and debut novelist—for a rich conversation on how politics has evolved from civil compromise to deep polarization. They explore the legacy of South Carolina political figures, the rise of personalized politics, and what it takes to restore respectful dialogue across party lines. Billy reflects on his time with the Clinton administration, the lost art of bipartisan relationships, and why he remains hopeful for a return to integrity in public life. Plus, he shares the real-life experiences that inspired his new political thriller, Rockets Red Glare.
