In this episode, Matthew and Anna discuss Rep. Andy Biggs' attempts to distract everyone from his possible connection to Ali Alexander and the Capitol Insurrection while simultaneously scaring people into (probably) giving him money for his inevitable 2022 Campaign. Our hosts break down the ways Biggs misses the mark while discussing the 2nd Amendment, Borders, Immigration, and Human Trafficking.
