Episode 202—The Fight for American Democracy with Adam Kinzinger

Our democracy is always under threat. My guest today is Adam Kinzinger. Adam was a former Republican congressman from Illinois and Air Force veteran, and he served on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol alongside Liz Cheney, becoming one of the most prominent Republican voices warning about political extremism, election denial, and the future of American democracy.Today, Adam and I discuss Trump, Iran, the January 6th Committee, political violence and assassinations, insider trading in Congress, gerrymandering, and what he believes is really happening inside American politics.Link to Adam’s book, That’s What Heroes Do:https://www.amazon.com/Thats-What-Heroes-Adam-Kinzinger-ebook/dp/B0FFS33B6GArticle:Democrats Regret Creating Independent Redistricting Commissions After Supreme Court Ruling - The New York Times – https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/politics/democrats-independent-redistricting-commissions.html?unlocked_article_code=1.e1A.AL9e.vpYrwYjUf3uZ&smid=url-share
