Summary
Steve Schmidt is joined by former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who knows a thing or two about heroism. He was one of only two Republicans brave enough to sit on the January 6th Committee. Now this former Congressman and U.S. Air Force Officer has written a children’s book about everyday heroes. This conversation isn’t just about a new book, it’s about why the next generation of Americans needs real role models, particularly in this politically divisive time. Brought to you by the Save America Movement.
