So the film that's coming out, Last Republican, actually documents in 2006, I had a situation where a guy was murdering his girlfriend and I ended up intervening and he was using a knife. And look, honestly, I would fight a guy with a pistol before I would fight a guy with a knife. And so it was like, by the grace of God, I intervened.

And I ended up beating him and got him down, disarmed him, saved her life. She got 70 stitches in her neck. You know, and I got the Airman's Medal, which is actually higher than the Bronze Star. And unlike other people that sit there and publish, I mean, you can tell I have an Airman's Medal, but I don't talk much about it. And it's, you know, it's rank and order and all that stuff.

But anyway, that story is in this documentary and Daily Mail to their credit. I was in politics for 14 years and not a single U.S., you know, journalistic entity ever researched this story, but the Daily Mail does. Okay. And it was, to me, like, it was amazing because I find out that she was a mom when I intervened. I didn't know that. She has since had three more kids.

And, you know, it's like you sit there and you realize, like, there is going to be generations that exist now because of that act that I took that I really, if somebody would have whispered to me to run, I would have run away. So I don't know. It was amazing.

And the other thing that I thought was kind of funny is I think she knew who I was as a public official, but at no point realized that I was the atom that saved her. And so she basically ended up after Daily Mail calls and puts two and two together. So I'm going to talk to her at some point in the next few days. And it's been emotional for me to read that, by the way.

It really punched me in the gut kind of because I didn't expect it to come. I didn't expect anybody to research the story as well as they did. So I give them credit and I'm looking forward to talking to her about it.

You can actually, if you Google, I think Adam Kinzinger, you know, Milwaukee knife attack or whatever on you, if you YouTube it, you can actually see a story where we meet for the first time. And that was a year after the incident, but I hadn't heard anything about her, you know, since that day.
