- Adam Kinzinger in conversation with David Ono at Live Talks Los Angeles discussing his book,
"Renegade: Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country." This event was taped with an audience in Los Angeles on November 16.
Once a rising star of the Republican Party, Adam Kinzinger became a traitor when he voted to impeach Donald Trump after the January 6 attacks on the Capitol. Now he shares a gripping firsthand account of the events that led to this moment, and the sacrifice required to do what is right.
Adam D. Kinzinger served in the United States House of Representatives from 2011 to 2023, representing Illinois’ Sixteenth Congressional District. During his tenure, he served on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, as well as the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard and a Senior Political Commentator on CNN.
David Ono is the anchor for ABC7 Eyewitness News at 4pm and 6pm.David has produced multiple award winning documentaries, two of which have made their way to the Smithsonian Institution. He’s the creator of the multi-award winning series FACEism, about promoting a better understanding about inclusion in America. He’s also the creator of Defining Courage, a stage show about the legacy of the Nisei Soldier in World War. David has won 10 Edward R. Murrow awards, 31 Emmys, is the recipient of the Distinguished Journalist Award by the Society of Professional Journalists, the Lifetime Achievement award by the LA Press Club.
On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.
In Renegade, Kinzinger tells his story of faith, service, and political duty in a democracy under siege. From the small Illinois county board where he got his start, to his years in the Air Force flying tanker missions over Iraq, to his final tumultuous term in Congress as one of the few Republican members to vote to impeach Trump and join the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, Kinzinger takes readers inside the most critical moments and pivotal decisions of the last years. The result is both a searing examination of the rise of extremism and the GOP’s subsequent descent into a dysfunctional and destructive force, and a rousing call to return to unity.

Leftist here! I appreciate Adam Kinzinger.
Great interview and will definitely purchase Mr. Kinzinger’s book. I think he’s amazing and honorable. Please thank him for his service and for keeping his promise to the American people. We need more politicians like him in order for our Democracy to keep working. Lord hear our prayers!

Adam Kinzinger is the Hope of USA Democracy !!
Mr. Kinzenger the only brave man in the republican party.
Thank you Adam for saving our democracy but we still have more to do
Kinzinger 2028!🎉 We need more like you and Liz Cheney in Washington!!!
A Man Of Courage-Thank You Adam Kinzinger🌹
The more I hear you, the more respect I have for you. Your service in the military and in our government are very much appreciated. I am a Democrat.
Nothing but ✨️RESPECT‼️for this BLESSed young man. So GR8ful to & for
Y😎U✌️
I was very impressed with the J6 committee and those who served on it! Adam and Liz were awesome. I watch every minute. It opened my eyes, and I was amazed by the evidence that was presented. Gave me faith in our rule of law and knowing that we have resentatives who chose to uphold it. It turned me around, so much so that I changed my party to democrate. 😅
I am proud of Adam's commitment to upholding the constitution. Bravo 👏
Mr. Kizinger is definitely a man of honor and integrity.
This is what most men do not possess today.
My respects to you, Mr. Kizinger for HONORING the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY because you stood for the truth and for standing for the Constitution.
I’m a lefty but totally admire and respect Adam Kissinger. Would happily vote for him in a national election.
Kinzinger. Auto correct sheesh!
Me too. But, I know honor and honesty when I see it. Adam was willing to lose his job to be truthful. Yeah!
AdamK is a President material. I like his way of thinking & conviction even though he's still young in politics.
I so admire Adam Kinsinger...he has integrity...and heist fighting for democracy
I’m a democrat but I got to say that I think Kinzinger is a good guy and I commend him for standing up to Trump and maga and telling the truth about j6
I vote for Adam Kinzinger for President
Kinzinger is one of the bravest men in DC.
Thank you Adam for speaking out, I'm so proud you did what you did to stand up for America ❤
Vote blue💙💙💙💙💙💙
🗽🇺🇸 #AdamKinzsinger is the best, right alongside #LizCheney🤩!! 💁I'm a democrat but I have a lot of respect for those two and their dedication to democracy👀!!
great interview. really respect mr kinzinger.
Salute, a man of integrity, moral courage and a believer in the rule of law! You have my full and unwavering support against MAGA and the Orange smelly incompetent blob. Semper Fortis.
Thank you for this video. I am riveted by Adam Kinzinger. I can't stop watching his interviews. Adam, you give me hope. I can see President.
Adam is a rare breed ... a politician with integrity. Damn shame he was run out of politics. Its guys like Adam that are needed in leadership roles. Slava Ukraini!
This is a Republican I would gladly vote for. Why? Because he puts the rule of law i.e. our Constitution above party affiliation. That's the test of any genuine American patriot. If our democracy survives, and I think it will, we will have this man to thank for it. Well, and all those who stand with him.
A politician who speaks the truth…this is becoming rarer and rarer, even here in Canada. I am inspired by Adam and his bravery. Despite the terrible price he has paid, his integrity and honesty guides his conscience. We need him, and more like him, everywhere. Thank you for this riveting interview and the hope it brings.
You should run for the presidency as a democrat! You would win!
Ps i have both Adam's book and Liz's. And booked from the J6 cops books and a dozen others from Cohen.. Taylor and others, I need to learn as much as possible. Cannot stand SFB ORANGE TURD. I won't live in a dictatishop so he better not get back in. So glad for the Liz's and Adam's honesty and fortitude to do the right thing. Thank you for all you have done.
SFB?
Adam has been a real man with his gots in place!! He represents the people for what the people need and he earned my respect!!!
I used to call Adam a RINO, I was so wrong, now I have nothing but the deepest respect for him! Adam is a patriot, a brave patriot!
Adam: your courage sings. Keep making your songs and you’re bound to hit the millions mark. Thanks for speaking plainly an truthfully.
I have great hope he is right about 2028 being great. IF he runs for President one day - I'd vote for him!
Kinzinger is a middle of the road politician, similar to JFK. With his experience in Cngress, military and values he would make an excellent president no matter which party he chooses to run under.
Adam speaks the truth
Very happy to see one of my heroes on the show! Thank you!
Thank you Adam ❤
The fate of democracy is in our hands & we cannot waver.
We must find a way.
Please America, keep this *bloated boob of Mar-a-Lardo* out of our future.
*Blue is true* _💙⚖️_
I have so enjoyed these fine men. Great hour.
Kinzinger For President ❤
Thank you for this talk with this thoughtful, courageous man and great American. Although I'm probably at a very different place on the political spectrum, I deeply respect his honesty, his intelligence, and his integrity. Nothing speaks more clearly of the moral destruction of the Republican Party that they can no longer tolerate a person of this quality in their ranks.
Thank you Adam. A true hero🇺🇸
What a great interview! I just love Adam. He definitely should run for president.
Please run for president!!!💙💙 kizzinger💙
Yes, he is great President material.
Many Democrats have said they would vote for you for President. You or Liz and they're for real.
They have stood for the constitution but their politics are still far right Adam calls himself a compassionate conservative what does that say it says conservatives are not compassionate in their policies they follow the Reagan doctrine of give to the rich and cut social programs to pay for it the rich are the moochers Romney spoke about even though he meant the poor, if him or Liz came to power they would gladly cut entitlements and all other programs that help the poor, I worry when dems say they would vote for them it would be voting against our own interests. Our huge deficit comes from Reagan’s trickle down and trump took it to a whole new level raising it by eight trillion and those two voted for those tax breaks, I don’t tell people how to vote but I do say be careful what you wish for
@louannkyle602 Thank you for this significant information. I am a Democrat, and I admire Kinzinger and Cheney. I am a true blue Democrat, but if I know that a Democrat is just as crooked as Don the con and a compulsive liar, I will vote Adam Kinzinger in 2028 for President or Liz Cheney if I feel that a Democratic candidate is just as corrupt like don the conman. It is priceless to take our democracy, freedom, law and order for granted.
This man is so insightful
Sorry about the rifts in your family and your co-pilot, Adam. Very painful to hear about, so I can only imagine how it feels to you. A shame.
Wow!!! So true, I feel like I’m waiting for the day I go to watch midus touch and they say trump is in jail 💙
I see a future in him running for president
Great interview
I could listen to him all day👏🏼
Thank you. You helped me put in words the psychology of our Veterans who have untreated PTSD. 🇺🇸
Bravo To Kinzinger! Thank you for this interview !
Brilliant episode. Extraordinary man! Adam is worthy of being president some day!
It's refreshing to hear the truth from a Politician.
My feelings on this is, "This too shall pass" and life will go - on!
But I strongly believe Mark Meadows was and still is a dangerous man. Should have to answer to more on Jan 6th. He has gotten away with far too much! Mark Meadows knew what was going on from the ground - up to the way way top!
VOTE like you've never voted before - it's the only way to keep trump out of the White House 🔵
Energy follows thought.
Keep the vision of the truth overriding all the lies - democracy matters ☮️
Adam I feel you will be our President soon. Please run for that.
I’m 70 but periodically I’ve wondered how it would be having the president/vice president running together. I think Biden has done a great job, let’s be honest Kamala Harris is not well liked. I could see a Biden/Kinzinger ticket. I understand that would likely mean Adam would run in 2028. Then my thought would be he would pick a Democratic as VP. I wonder if we could get more done.
Your Parents, Wife and immediate family must be very proud of you Adam . Your values are as decent as they come. I have sooooo much respect for you Sir. This interview is absolutely over the top. Thank you thank you💖💖🤗
Absolutely enjoy this talk, thank you Mr Kinzenger and Ms Cheney for standing up for what is righteousness and speak against your own party that you supposed for long time, sometime it is not about what or which party you in, but is what is right or wrong! Your bravery will be remembered and recognized!
They did their job, which is what they were elected to do. I was glad they were courageous.
If there were more members of congress and other political offices,like Adam and Liz,this country would be far better for Democracy and life than it is.I am a veteran,and they make me proud to have served the country I love and care about,and hope that we as Americans,do not let anyone destroy.
I admire this man so much!
A true patriot!
This gentleman is a very genuinely honest christian
He's so brilliant; he's so articulate; he's SO cute. Wow!
😏
❤Patriot Adam Kinzinger for President
Thank you Adam Kinzinger and Ted Ono for your podcast LIVE TALKS LOS ANGELES. I am thrilled that our democracy and liberty is being put foremost and center stage and will be the highlight of your show. Once again, many thanks for your efforts to save America, our only hope for a fair, just, and transparent government.
I love it when elected officials cross party lines to do what's right, we need more of this on both sides.
He is a good man!!❤
Everybody must vote in 2024!
He would make a very good President. xx
Feels like he might be someday.
Thank you Adam. Really wish the repugs would have listened to you before you were forced out of the party. The repugs have their heads up DJT’s ass and would listen to you. To me, your opinion is spot on!
Would vote for Adam in a heartbeat
❤❤kinzinger!
You must run. You and LiZ would fix all our country.
What people really need to do is pay attention to what the Republicans are doing and wise up to their tricks and vote accordingly.
Thank you
So good to hear someone with sanity!
*Blue is true* _💙⚖️_
I am independent, but seem to side more on the with Democrats most of the time… That being said, I would vote for you and Liz, Cheney, and I hope you guys run! We need sanity back! We need calm! We need bipartisan!
Adam Kinzinger speaks intelligently like a Democrat... he should run with the party...
Thank you David Ono for your show❤
Amazing interview!
Adam Kinzinger for President.
He’s thinking about running for Senator. The kicker - against Ted Cruz. (Kinzinger currently resides in Texas.)
With Liz Cheney.
The more I hear from Adam the more I like him. He is so right on in his assessment of the Republican Party. I’ll be voting 3rd party in the primaries.
God would never choose a liar to carry his message.
💙💙💙Vote Blue 💙💙💙
Hard to believe that he voted faithfully with the GOP for 12 years. Wish he could have always been this person, and wish that all policians could be like this always. Period.
It's time for the popular vote
He speaks alot of sense,nearly all Democrats don't vote in the republican primaries because they think they can't because they are Democrats i thought why vote for a republican but you still have a choice of which republican candidate should be in congress whatever party you are.thanks adam
As a democrat in my state, I can only vote with my party until the general election. I would have to switch to Republican to vote in their primary
I just love him, he should be the Republican nominee. And yes he has a shot Republicans only vote for so no matter they will vote Republican
One of the very few republicans that actually have mirrors in their house. I’d vote for him as a republican, or hopefully as a democrat.
You should run as a Democrat,you can help this country.
Abam is a real patriot. Democracy and the constitution is the back bone of America 🇺🇸. All service people take a oath to defend the country and it's constitution. How could they turn thier backs on that.
