A Conversation with Rep. Andy Biggs on Jim Jordan for Speaker Ep. 257

Today, we are joined by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., to discuss the significance of Jim Jordan’s run for speaker. Biggs was one of the first members to endorse his candidacy.   He gives us an inside look at how House leadership is failing us. They have no proactive agenda and always cave to the liberal Senate, thereby making House Republicans always explain themselves and remain on defense. “Whoever is explaining is losing,” said Biggs. He elucidates how a leader like Jordan will turn the tables on the Senate and make them explain why they are opposing our winning bills.  He believes that most House Republicans, perhaps unlike Senate Republicans, would do the right thing with an aggressive and proactive leadership. Andy also discusses the problems with illegal immigration and an out-of-control judiciary. Congress has been completely MIA on those issues.  Later in the show, we place the GDP numbers in their proper context. We show that, while the tax cuts did a good job infusing the economy with capital in the short run, there are still a lot of mitigating factors that hurt our economy and will make it harder to grow at 4 percent for the entire year, absent more free-market reforms to our fiscal policy and the Federal Reserve.  Show links The true crisis of illegal immigration  Don’t miss the Andy Biggs podcast every week!
