1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: My next guest is an absolute savage. His name is 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey. He is the Attorney General of Missouri. He's 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: only been there for a little over a year and 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: he's already made waves. He's a thorn in the side 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. The left hates him. He started 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: by ousting a Sorrow's backed prosecutor and since then he's 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: tackled every big issue, transgender issues, abortion, Second Amendment, the border. 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on diversity, equity, inclusion, every 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: issue you care about, every issue we talk about on 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: this podcast. He has taken up the mantle to defend 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: the rights of Missourians and Americans and to go after 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: the left. So I think you're really going to enjoy 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: this conversation. I was going through everything this guy has 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: done so far. I can't believe it's only been a 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: little over a year. So stay tuned for this conversation 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: with the Attorney General of Missouri, Andrew Bailey. Well, Attorney General, 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: it's great to have you on the podcast for the 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: first time. You know, I was going through this and 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: you've only been in office for like a little over 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: a year. 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Lisa. I mean, look it's a privilege 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: to get to serve the people of State of Missouri 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 2: as the forty fourth Attorney General in our state's history. 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: But we hit the ground running back on January third, 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, when I first swore into office, and 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: we haven't looked back. And I'm here to tell you 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: we haven't hit our ceiling yet. No. 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: I know. I was going through all the stuff that 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: you've done, and I'm like, I don't even know if 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: we're going to have time from investigating Planned Parenthood stuff 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: on the border, big tech, investigating media matters, Second Amendment stuff. 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, getting rid of a Soros product. Like the 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: list is long. How much does the left hate you? 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm despised by the left, and that's okay. You know. 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: I tell the people of State of Missouri to judge 36 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: me by my enemies. I mean, the fact that the 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: ACLU and Planned Parenthood have sued me more times than 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: I can count on my my my fingers means that 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: we're doing the right things for the right reasons. I mean, 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we are fighting in 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: a war to protect our freedom, our safety, and our prosperity. 42 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: It used to be that Republicans and Democrats had differences 43 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: over policy nuance, but the rule of law matter. And 44 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: these days the left has abandoned this approach of elevating 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: the rules of the game above the players in the outcomes, 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: in favor of weaponizing the government to tear down cultural 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: and legal institutions in the United States of America to 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: achieve radical progressive evolution. And I think it's contrary to 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: the will of the peoples state of Missouri. It's certainly 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: contrary to our interest in freedom, safety, and prosperity. And 51 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: it's a fight, it's a war. It's no longer a 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: debate over nuance of policy. 53 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: Do you think in part that's happened just because the 54 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: government has gotten so large and inevitably we the people 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: loser rights in that process. 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think that it's a zero sum game, more government, 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: less freedom. I mean, I believe that the best thing 58 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: the government can do so many times is get the 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: heck out of the way. But at the same time, 60 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: there is a proper role for government. And you know, 61 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: it seems to me that under the Biden administration, and 62 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: it really this became pronounced during COVID and it grew 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: exponentially once Biden took office, that the government was everywhere 64 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: were unwanted and nowhere where needed. In other words, during COVID, 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: they were going to tell you you had to wear 66 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: a mask and stand this far apart, and you couldn't 67 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: do this, and you couldn't do that. But they wouldn't 68 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: secure the southern border once Biden took office. I mean 69 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: it's instances like that. Or you know, here in Missouri 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: you had a source back prosecutor had a ninety six 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: percent non prosecution rate. So she'll be the first one 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: to demand that you put on a mask and to 73 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: go after political opponents, but she won't prosecute the criminals 74 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: that are actually breaking things and hurting people. And so 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: it undermines the rule of law. It undermines the credibility 76 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: of our legal system. And that's why it's important to 77 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: have state attorneys general who are willing to fight back 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 2: and have the not only the audacity to fight back, 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: but the experience and the battle scars to take with 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: them into that fight. 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it is kind of funny come to 82 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: think about it. You know, Joe Biden trying to force 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: a vaccine on Americans that is untested, but somehow he 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: doesn't have the authority to close the southern border and 85 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: stop the invasion. 86 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: That or saying yeah, that's right. I mean, look, we 87 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: had to file suit against the Biden administration because he 88 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: used the Department of Energy to try to regulate which 89 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: dishwashers and washing machines you have in your house. I mean, 90 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: the federal government has no authority to select appliances for 91 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: your home. And as a you know, a parent who 92 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: has four children at Galli, I need my appliances running 93 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: NonStop just to keep up with the daily grind and 94 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: keep people fed and clothed. But I'll tell you you 95 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: know that lawsuit. People think it's trivial, or you know, 96 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: might might mock the insignificance of it. But if you 97 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: give an inch there where, what is the principled response 98 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: when your freedom's on the line. And so keeping the 99 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: federal government in its limited proper role is essential to 100 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: maintain maximizing our freedom and maintaining our constant structure. 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: You've been willing to engage on a lot of important 102 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: cultural issues. You know, at one point, an emergency rule 103 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: that would require adults and children to undergo therapy at 104 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: other requirements before they can move forward with, you know, 105 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: transgender surgery, puberty blockers, things like that investigation, a planned parenthood. 106 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: I believe there was a lawsuit into a school over 107 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: a bathroom as well. I think not doing an open 108 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: hearing on that correct in the school. So why are 109 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: these fights important to you? And kind of go through 110 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: some of the things you're most proud of in that arena. 111 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Lisa, Look, I want Missouri to be the safest 112 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: state in the nation for children, and we've been fighting 113 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: for that since day one when I took office. You know, 114 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: in February January, February of twenty twenty three, a whistleblower 115 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: came forward from a pediatric transgender clinic in the Saint 116 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: Louis region that made allegations in an sworn testimony. I mean, 117 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: she was willing to put her life on the line, 118 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: put her name on the line, subject herself to scrutiny 119 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: and penalty of perjury, and the allegations she made were 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: not only credible, but amounted into nothing short of child abease. 121 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: So we launched an investigation. It was the first of 122 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: its kind in this nation. It was a multi agency 123 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: investigation to hold wrongdoers accountable. And as we looked into 124 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: the matter, we demanded the clinic institute it self impose 125 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: a moratorium on these procedures until we could the state 126 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: can determine what safeguards were in place to protect kids. 127 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: The clinic refused and opined that they were the only 128 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: clinic in the state of Missouri offering these kinds of procedures. Well, 129 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: subsequent investigation revealed that wasn't true. There's a shadowy and 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: clandestine network of these clinics operating across the state, and 131 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: so it was necessary for the Attorney General's office to 132 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: use the full authority of the state to propose an 133 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: emergency rule to stand in the gap as a safety 134 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: measure to protect kids and give our General Assembly a 135 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: time to enact a statute that was ultimately signed into law, 136 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: that Senate Bill forty nine. And I'm proud to say 137 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: that Missouri is the first state in the nation to 138 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: successfully defend that kind of statute that ends this pediatric 139 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: child gender mutilation. We're the first state in the nation 140 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: to successfully defend that kind of status at the trial 141 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: court level. The work we've done to root out and 142 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: shut down the pediatric transgender mutilation industry in the state 143 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: of Missouri will have saved countless lives, will have preserved 144 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: the bodily integrity of countless children, and will have protected 145 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: printal rights. You know, one of the allegations that was 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: made by the whistleblower was that some of these parents 147 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: were cajoled into consenting to these procedures and weren't provided 148 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: the opportunity to actually provide legitimate legal consent because they 149 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: were deprived of information, and that the patients at these clinics, 150 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: the children, were deprived of access to mental health services 151 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: like psychology and psychiatry. And so just having the fortitude 152 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: and the moral clarity to call this what it is 153 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: and to take on that industry and to have delivered 154 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: wins for the people of the state and certainly for 155 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: the safety of children of the state, I think is 156 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: a major accomplishment. 157 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: No, Nan, I've interviewed people at Chloe Cole on this 158 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: show who underwent a double misactomy at fifteen years old. 159 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you just you aren't fully aware of anything 160 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: in life at fifteen years old, particularly making life altering decisions, 161 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: and you know, destroying your body should also take in 162 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: puberty blockers at one point as well, or you know, 163 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: we're not doing right by these kids. 164 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. I mean, look, there are zero FDA 165 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: approvals showing that puberty blockers or cross sex hormones are 166 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: safer effective in the treatment of gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria, 167 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: of course, is the mental health condition that so many 168 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: of these children present when they come into these clinics. 169 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: They're confused about their gender. So rather than talking to 170 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: the kids, are providing psychology or psychiatry. So many of 171 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: the clinics race towards powerful life changing drugs or referring children, 172 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 2: you know, under seventeen years of age for irreversible surgeries. 173 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: And as you point out, these kids will never enjoy 174 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 2: the full spectrum of adulthood because the adults in the room, 175 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: they were supposed to be responsible for their health and safety, 176 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: failed And so that's why it's important that legislation like 177 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: Senate Bill forty nine be enacted and defended in court. 178 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 2: That's why it's important that state attorney's General used their 179 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: investigation of authority and rule making authority to stand in 180 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: the gap to provide some kind of safeguards to protect 181 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: the children. 182 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: You're also involved in a Second Amendment case as well. 183 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: Can you talk a little bit about that, the Second 184 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Amendment Preservation Act, and you know, what is it, why 185 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: is it important, and what could this mean for the 186 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: country moving forward. Regarding the Second Amendment in states rights. 187 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, I believe that the Second Amendment is 188 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: one that makes all the other amendments possible. The Constitution 189 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: exists to protect us from the government, and the government 190 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: exists to protect our rights. And we celebrate the right 191 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: to keep in bare arms here in the state of Missouri. 192 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: If you look at Article one, section twenty three of 193 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: the Missouri Constitution, it is a robust protection of the 194 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: right to keep in bear arms, and it says that 195 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:47,119 Speaker 2: state officials are obligated to defend against infringement of infringements 196 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: upon those rights. And it's a sacred and honorable duty 197 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: that we undertake happily here at the Attorney General's office. 198 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: But our General Assembly an act at a statute to 199 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 2: the Second Amendment Preservation Act designed to prevent enforcement of 200 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: unconstitutional Second Amendment infringements in statute or rule and to 201 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: really be a codification of the Tenth Amendment anti common 202 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 2: deering doctrine. As you'll recall, the Tenth Amendment stands for 203 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: the proposition that authority not explicitly given to the federal 204 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: government or deprived to the states, is enjoyed by the 205 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: states and the people of the states. And so what 206 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: SAPPA actually says is that state officials can't be cajoled 207 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 2: by the federal government into enforcing unconstitutional federal mandates. But 208 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 2: it doesn't. It only limits state officials, it doesn't limit 209 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: federal officials. And so we've defended this statute in court. 210 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: The Department of Biden's Department of Justice instantly sued the 211 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: State of Missouri and hauled us into court and attacked 212 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 2: our state sovereignty and our Second Amendment rights. They believe 213 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: that the supremacy clause makes the federal government supreme to 214 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: the state of Missouri. That's not what the supremacy clause says. 215 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: The supremacy clause says that when there's a conflict between 216 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: a constitutionally valid federal statute and a state statute, that 217 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: the federal statute prevails. But that doesn't mean that the 218 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: federal government has the right to commandeer the apparatus of 219 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: state government to carry out unconstitutional objectives. So one of 220 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: the issues that we've defended, and we were at the 221 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals defending this matter just last 222 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: week last Friday, and we're confident in our ultimate success 223 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: on the meriage. But one of the issues here is 224 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: that when the Department of Justice sues the state, you 225 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: have to be able to show the plaintiff has to 226 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: be able to show an injury in fact, a concrete 227 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: injury in fact from a result of an unconstitutional act. 228 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: And the problem here is because SAPPA does not limit 229 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: federal officials, and no federal officials can demonstrate harm, the 230 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: federal court actually lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this case. 231 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: And we think that ultimately the courts will dismiss this 232 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: case and SAPPA will stand. 233 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break more with Attorney General 234 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey. You've been involved with Texas and securing the 235 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: border and kind of you know, pushing back against this administration. 236 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Is that the path forward for our country is for 237 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: state to start taking back state rights and you know, 238 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: kind of peeling back that power from the federal government. 239 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 2: Well, Lesa, I think it has to be. I mean, 240 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: look at what federal authorities have done at the border, 241 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: and really it's the Biden administration. President Trump used the 242 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: immigration laws on the books to reduce illegal border crossings 243 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: by more than ninety percent. He instituted policies like remain 244 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: in Mexico and detention of illegal criminal aliens, and that 245 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: deterred illegal border crossings. But what Biden has done since 246 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: day one is hanging an open sign at our border, 247 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: undermine our rule of law, and deny Americans of our 248 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: national sovereignty. Some of the ways he's done that include 249 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: termination of the Remain in Mexico policy, institution of a 250 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: catch and release policy, an executive order that said he 251 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: wasn't going to build any more border walls, despite the 252 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: fact that in two thousand and six, while serving the 253 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: United States Senate, Senator Biden voted for the Secure Fens Act. 254 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden he thinks they don't 255 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: work because President Trump lights him. And the problem he's 256 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: got is that he's perverted the law to allow people 257 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: into this country to have no legal right to be here. 258 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,359 Speaker 2: It undermines the rule of law, discredits are legal institutions, 259 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: and again it's creating a crisis of enormous magnitude. More 260 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: than fifteen hundred deaths from finnyl exposure in Missouri and 261 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: one year loan forty three innocent children who have died 262 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 2: from accidental finnel exposure. We've had more than eleven hundred 263 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: cases reported of human trafficking, and that's the cases that 264 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: are reported. How many go undetected. And so you know, 265 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: every state's of border state, Missourians are suffering and are 266 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: less safe because the President Biden's refusal to do his 267 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: job at the southern border. And so it's going to 268 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: be up to states to hold him accountable. 269 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: And you testified before Congress regarding Secretary markas correct. 270 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. I was honored to be allowed to 271 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: be called before Congress to testify in the impeachment proceedings 272 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: against Secretary of may Orcus. And look the border wall 273 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 2: lawsuit that Missouri and Texas have pen against the Biden 274 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: administration right now, I think it's going to end up 275 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: being a really significant piece of litigation, mark my words. 276 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: In fiscal year twenty twenty, Congress appropriated money to erect 277 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: new border barrier systems. Period. Well, like I said, on 278 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: day one, President Biden signed an executive order saying he 279 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: wasn't going to do that, and then he hired Secretary 280 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: of may orcis to submit an endless series of environmental 281 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: studies to vex harassment, delay the command from Congress and 282 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: the Appropriations Bill to build new border barrier systems. Well, 283 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: if may orcus didn't want to follow out the commandments 284 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: of Congress that are in the Appropriation Statute, he shouldn't 285 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: have taken the job and taken an oath to uphold 286 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: the laws of this country in the Constitution of the 287 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: United States of America. So I think that at the 288 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: end of the day, Congress has the power of the purse, 289 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: but it ceases to mean anything if federal officials can 290 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: just ignore Congressional commandments that are codified in statute. And 291 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: so certainly our lawsuit against the Biden administration we think 292 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: will be successful in that we've been reinstated by the 293 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and are back at the 294 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: district court level. We may be the first state in 295 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: the nation to successfully sue Biden on one of these 296 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: border issues. But in the meantime, Congress has a role 297 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: to play too, and that's holding federal officials who refuse 298 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: to follow the law accountable. 299 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: And you've also been involved with the administration with the 300 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: student loans. I mean, it's not really forgiveness because we're 301 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: all on the hooky can't forgive. It's you know, tell 302 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: us about your involvement in that and what should people 303 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: be looking out for. 304 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, you know, President Biden initially tried to quote 305 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: unquote cancel student debt, and any of your working families 306 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: out there, business owners out there that are listening, are 307 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: going to understand, like, there is no such thing as 308 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: a cancelation of debt. Someone is paying it, you know. 309 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: I think that the estimates were somewhere around four hundred 310 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: billion dollars to taxpayers in the state in the United 311 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: States of America, forty four million dollars to working families 312 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: an additional tax burden here in the state of Missouri. 313 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: It decreased revenue to the state of Missouri. We're not 314 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: gonna let President Biden saddle working Missouri families with Ivy 315 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: League debt. And I paid for my college and blood, 316 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: sweat and tears. I went to University Missouri on an 317 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: Army ROTC scholarship, served in the War on Terror, deployed 318 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: to Iraq twice. Used the post nine to eleven GI 319 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: Bill for law school. So look, I did it, honest. 320 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: There's no such thing as a free ride. You got 321 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: to earn it. It's not given. And so President Bien 322 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: trying to saddle working Missouri families with IVY League dead 323 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 2: is unacceptable. The Court has already deemed it unconstitutional once before, 324 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: and certainly we are joining with other states and looking 325 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: for opportunities to fight back against another unlawful, unconstitutional redistribution 326 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: of wealth. 327 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: You know one thing that worries me, well, a lot 328 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: of things worry made these days, but one of them 329 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: that I will bring up to you is this article 330 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: in the Atlantic, and the headline reads how Democrats could 331 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: disqualify Trump if the Supreme Court doesn't, and it goes 332 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: out to lay out how senior or House Democrats would 333 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: not commit to certifying a Trump when YadA, YadA, YadA. 334 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: But what worries me is I do feel like the 335 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: left is at a point where, like, let's say Trump wins, 336 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: that they would just outright deny him that victory. So, 337 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess how close are to were we 338 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: to where like there is absolutely no rule of law. 339 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: I think we're on the precipice. I mean, we're certainly 340 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: slouching towards authoritarian third world dictatorship. I mean, President Biden 341 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: has the and his army of federal bureaucrats have the 342 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: attitude that they get to do whatever they want until 343 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: someone tells them to stop. I mean, thank goodness, here 344 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: in the state of Missouri, we've used the long arm 345 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: of the law to sue the Biden administration thirty times, 346 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 2: to take them to court, to get a court order 347 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: demanding that you preventing them from unconstitutional, actually demanding that 348 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: they stop. But you know, to your point, more government, 349 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: less freedom right And at the end of the day, 350 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: there is no sanction in the United States constitution free 351 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: fourth branch of government. And yet look at the alphabet 352 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 2: soup of federal bureaucratic agencies. And when President Biden deploys 353 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: that army of bureaucrats, like minded individuals that are like 354 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: minded with him, they're not there to maximize your liberty 355 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 2: and the choices you get to make. They're there to 356 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: make decisions for you and take away your freedoms. And 357 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: so the apparatus is certainly there. And the left seems, 358 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: in the radical progressive left, seems intent on tearing down 359 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: the structure of our government. Again, that structure was carefully 360 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 2: designed by our founders to maximize our freedom and liberty 361 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: and to restrain an overactive central authority and prevent us 362 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: from slouching towards authoritarianism. And the Left is clearly jettisoning 363 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 2: that approach in favor of authoritarian dictatorship. You know. 364 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: I do think, you know, at least if you look 365 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: at what the Left has tried to do to Donald 366 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: Trump with these four criminal indictments well and then also 367 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: whether they're trying to do it to him civilly and 368 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, bankrupt him. But I do think Americans are 369 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of waking up to they've overshot a little bit, 370 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: you know, particularly when you have the Special Counsel's report 371 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: on Biden showing that he's mishandled classified information since the 372 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: freaking nineteen seventies, you know, and then you've got Fanny 373 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: Willis inappropriately engaging with you know, a man that she 374 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: hired who didn't have a background in Rico or anything. 375 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's involved with with that case in Fulton County. 376 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: I do think people are kind of like, okay, you know, 377 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: are going to go after someone like that, You really 378 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: have to have the moral high ground, and they don't. 379 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: And so I think Americans are kind of realizing that, 380 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: all right, you know this, this is a witch hunt. 381 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 2: No, that's right, And again it undermines the credibility of 382 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: their position. It undermines the credibility of our system of government, 383 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 2: certainly of our judicial processes, when those processes can be 384 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: weaponized against political opponents. And I refer to you know, 385 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: third world banana republics, That's exactly what I'm talking about, 386 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: and America was not. The United States of America is 387 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: never supposed to be that way, and if we just 388 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: followed the rule of law, we wouldn't have these problems. 389 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: But again, the left is jettison that approach. They hate. 390 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: They're blinded by their hatred for President Trump and are 391 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 2: willing to destroy the United States of America to attack 392 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 2: him politically and legally. I think there are three really 393 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: main strategic objectives in the fight for the soul of 394 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: America today, and you've covered two of them already. You know, 395 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: the border, no border, no country. If we don't secure 396 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: our southern border and maintain our national sovereignty, we don't 397 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: have a country anymore. Number two, it's the weaponization of 398 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: government again, are we going to allow the apparatus of 399 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 2: our legal system to be hijacked by radical progressives who 400 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 2: are willing to use it to take out political opponents 401 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 2: while ignoring the actual law breakers elsewhere. And then finally 402 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: number three, I think one of the other main strategic 403 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: objectives in the fight for the soul of America is 404 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: the fight for free speech. I mean, this used to 405 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: be a non partisan, non controversial issue that the First 406 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: Amendment protected a freefair and open marketplace for ideas. And 407 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: yet now the left screams for government censorship, and one 408 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: wonders if the legacy media would squeal so loudly if 409 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: they were the one censor quick break. 410 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: We've got so much more to get into. I've heard 411 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: different arguments on this, but you know Donald Trump saying that, 412 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, look, Presidential Records Act, the authority to declassify 413 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: and classify. You know, where are you into that? 414 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? I agree. I mean they're prosecuting him for a 415 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: technical procedural flaw when certainly there is evidence to suggest 416 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: that President Trump engaged in the proper procedure and the 417 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: bureaucracy stemi his attempts to accomplish his objective which ultimately 418 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 2: is his decision as the president to make. And so 419 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, you know, for forty years or more, has 420 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 2: classified documents sitting in a cardboard box in his closet. 421 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: And yet President Trump, who had the authority to declassify 422 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: these documents, has them locked in a sealed safe and 423 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: is negotiating with the National Archives to do it the 424 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: right way. And all of a sudden, stormtroopers are rating 425 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: mar a lago. I mean again, this points to the hypocrisy. 426 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 2: And look, I agree with Senator Holly on this. Merritt 427 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: Garland has two options here. He either charges President Biden 428 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 2: for knowingly retaining classified documents and violation of federal law, 429 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: or he needs to invoke the constitutional amendment that gives 430 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: him and the rest of the cabinet the authority to 431 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 2: declare that there is not no longer fit to hold office. 432 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: Either he has the mental state to commit the crime, 433 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: or he doesn't have the mental capacity to be president. 434 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 2: But Merrek Garland can't have it both ways on that issue, 435 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: and right now, that's the needle he's trying to thrive. 436 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: Real quick before we go. I can't believe I almost 437 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: forgot to ask you about this the Supreme Court is 438 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: going to be hearing Missouri versus Biden on March eighteenth. 439 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: What should people know about that? What should we be 440 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: looking out for? If you can just kind of break 441 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: that down with us or for us before we go. 442 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, a, Lisa, and again, this is the most important 443 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: free speech case in this nation's history. We've uncovered through 444 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: this lawsuit or relationship of both coercion and collusion between 445 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 2: the Biden administration across a spectrum of bureaucratic agencies with 446 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: big tech social media platforms to silence American voices in 447 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: violation of our First Amendment right to free speech. The 448 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 2: remedy for disfavored speech in this country has always been 449 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 2: counter speech, not government censorship. The President has again he 450 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: has rejected that approach. The President, his staff, his army 451 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: of bureaucrats have now developed a vast censorship enterprise, and 452 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: it's going to be up to us in this lawsuit 453 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: to root out that censorship enterprise, to restore the proper 454 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: constitutional order to the freefare and open marketplace of ideas. 455 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: It is a sign of cowardice and weakness that the 456 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 2: President and his left wing bureaucrats can't win an argument 457 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: on the merits, so they feel the need to silence 458 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: any voice and opposition. We have the evidence to prove it. 459 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: We've won in court three times now. We're going to 460 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: the super Bowl on March eighteenth. We'll be arguing that 461 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: case at the United States Court Supreme Court, the highest 462 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 2: court in the land, and we're going to bring home 463 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: a win. 464 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: I can't believe you've only been there for a little 465 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: free years. We just went through so much stuff and 466 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm going to look back and have 467 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: missed some things to have discussed. 468 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: We hope we'll be talking again soon. We're going to 469 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: update you. 470 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: With well, obviously I will. It'll be two months from now, 471 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: and it will be fifty things we have to cover. 472 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: Where where can people learn more about you?

Loved having you. Would love to have 488 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: you back. 489 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 2: Hey, Thanks Lisa, great talking. Do you hope we can 490 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: talk again soon? 491 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: That was Missouri. Attorney General Andrew Bailey.

Thank you at home 495 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you can listen 496 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: throughout the week.
