$UBC Phil Lind Initiative 2025: Adam Kinzinger A six-term Republican congressman and U.S. Air Force veteran, Rep. Adam Kinzinger made headlines as one of only two GOP members to serve on the Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Offering a candid look at one of the most tumultuous periods in modern American politics, Kinzinger takes us into the deeply polarized and fractured system that facilitated the Republican party’s transformation under Trump.

This recording features the Q&A portion of the talk. This event is a part of the Phil Lind Initiative series What It Means to Be “American”: Navigating Identity in a Changing Nation, which grapples with the fluid and multifaceted nature of American identity amid rapid social and political turmoil and transformation.
