00:00:23.100
will be running through different daily shows like charlie's or tommy's dan's um but i was
00:00:28.700
asked who i thought the most patriotic americans were and a couple names pretty immediately came
00:00:34.680
to mind right i thought about people like john rich or kid rock or dana white but then i really
00:00:41.620
started thinking about what it means to be patriotic this is a person who loves their country and is
00:00:49.600
ready to and actively and boldly supports and defends their country and that is when i thought
00:00:57.620
of today's guest attorney general bailey of missouri i swear to you i go on twitter or x
00:01:04.660
and every day he is announcing more litigation that he is filing against those who seek to destroy
00:01:11.580
and dismantle our freedoms and our constitutional rights um on top of how he serves i guess americans
00:01:17.420
and missourians in the courtroom um he served this country in the u.s army and so attorney general bailey
00:01:23.620
he is the epitome of a patriot and i could not be more excited for our conversation uh you can expect
00:01:30.080
to hear about big tech censorship uh what we are seeing by the supreme court as it pertains to the
00:01:36.240
presidential election title nine all things student loans um and how fitting considering that this is
00:01:43.000
the week that we celebrate our independence and our founding principles uh so check out the interview
00:01:47.920
with attorney general andrew bailey here attorney general bailey uh before we get into anything
00:01:53.840
i just wanted to to thank you really uh you have been one of the most if not the most proactive and
00:02:02.420
efficient and thorough figures on the front lines uh fighting for what it means or at least what it
00:02:09.440
has historically meant uh to be an american so on behalf of what i would imagine all sane missourians and
00:02:16.580
broader than that really americans uh thank you well thank you you know getting to appear on your
00:02:23.500
show and be able to speak with you who's been a you know an individual who's led and been a clarion
00:02:27.820
call in the wilderness on so many of these important issues across the united states it's really
00:02:32.300
umbling for me you know i my service in the united states army after college but before law school
00:02:37.460
taught me how important it is to be bold be courageous fight for what's right and uh to the
00:02:43.820
execution match and so you know there's different kinds of attorneys there's kind of the academic
00:02:48.620
law school tough and then there's the kind of the warrior tough and i want to only be a warrior tough
00:02:53.380
attorney who's willing to take the fight to the enemies of freedom safety and prosperity and i
00:02:56.720
yeah during my time as ag we've been in no doubt uh that is definitely what i have witnessed from
00:03:03.260
outside looking in i mean even just in the last week uh we have seen some huge wins even on a
00:03:09.640
national scale that can be partly or i would say majorly attributed to to your efforts and so i
00:03:15.720
want you to walk us through some of your involvement the state of missouri's involvement
00:03:19.600
in combating the weaponization of the government against president trump and the wins that we have
00:03:25.280
seen even over the past week or two yeah absolutely i think there's really three main uh
00:03:30.240
strategic strategic objectives in this line you know first and foremost you see let me start with
00:03:35.400
this god gave us rights as humans the constitution protects those rights from the government and the
00:03:44.100
purpose of the government is to protect protect those rights so the constitution protects us from
00:03:48.740
the government the government should be protecting our rights and yet under the biden administration
00:03:52.200
as the left has uh you know infiltrated so many apparatuses of state level and federal government
00:03:58.840
you see a weaponization of the government against individuals in order to deny that of their
00:04:03.940
constitutional rights and that is never being more evident than in their persecution of president
00:04:08.640
trump and that persecution has taken many forms the most recent and immediate that we see is the
00:04:15.440
prosecution of president trump in the state of new york this was an illicit which had prosecution it
00:04:20.100
was never supported by facts and law the prosecutors were politically motivating meaning they shouldn't
00:04:25.100
have been disqualified from those cases the in itself is a recognition of the notice requirement under the
00:04:31.760
due process clause and there was a first amendment violation when the judge and strike warned president
00:04:37.060
trump to speak on any issue related to the trial this is a presidential candidate in the heat of a
00:04:41.900
campaign and we have a first amendment right as citizens of missouri and the united states to
00:04:46.320
hear from a presidential candidate so i don't know if it's related as well i mean they'll have to
00:04:50.300
read anonymity near the sixth amendment because it relates to determining what the public and offense is
00:04:54.640
when the jury was deliberating so like the goal here prosecutors was never to obtain a legally
00:05:00.020
valid conviction the goal was one ways to take president trump that's the campaign trail and
00:05:06.360
silence it and missourians have a sovereign interest in participating in a national presidential election
00:05:13.820
on equal footing we can't let a rogue prosecutor and a collusive judiciary in new york destroy our
00:05:19.540
rights as missourians to participate in that national election that's why we're filing sued missourney
00:05:24.960
versus new york going directly to the united states supreme court our founding fathers contemplate
00:05:29.420
that there would be disputes amongst the states and those disputes would be resolved at the highest
00:05:34.220
court in the land i'm proud to say that sue will be on file this week and we're doing everything
00:05:38.000
we can to achieve missourians have a right to participate freely and fairly in the national
00:05:42.620
presidential election amazing uh yeah your office has been steadfast in protecting the first our first
00:05:49.560
amendment rights uh we live in a time where our first amendment rights they're constantly under attack
00:05:54.820
and weirdly enough in the name of in the name of progress or equality i see this weekly um if not
00:06:01.260
daily in my own personal life right meta censors me tiktok deletes my videos um they don't stay up
00:06:08.140
longer than 10 minutes a bit bright that's another one uh they have historically removed my events yet
00:06:14.560
allow pro-hamas pro-terrorist groups to keep their events up um and so talk about the case you mentioned
00:06:22.420
new york but what about the case that you brought that made it what made its way up to the highest
00:06:26.960
courts uh there was a recent ruling and so what that means for the president and what that means
00:06:31.480
for the american people yeah and i think this is really the second strategic objective in the the
00:06:37.760
fight against the weaponization of government and you see it in government censorship on big tech
00:06:42.160
social media platforms the case of course missouri vp it was filed a few years ago we obtained a
00:06:48.820
preliminary discovery that identified enumerated a relationship of coercion and collusion
00:06:54.120
from the administration across the spectrum of bureaucratic agencies targeting conservative
00:06:58.480
voices for censorship on big tech social media platforms we took back the evidence to court and
00:07:03.680
obtained a preliminary injunction on the 5th of july last year definitive to this circuit court of
00:07:07.740
appeals and the case was the supreme court in march of this year the supreme court just last week
00:07:13.360
handed out its decision the media would have you believe that uh that that censorship is okay and
00:07:19.560
that that the claim sided with president that's not true for all those headlines are inherently deceitful
00:07:24.800
and misleading of deceiving at a minimum i don't tell you that what the court found is that there is
00:07:30.040
absolutely government censorship on big tech social media platforms in violation of the first amendment
00:07:35.480
that is less than that we have but we only found raised that because the case had been sitting on
00:07:40.600
for the past year called thing does we didn't have current evidence that the censorship is ongoing
00:07:46.240
and they sent us back down to the chalkboard to get more evidence which we will do our
00:07:49.920
discovery tools at the chalkboard at this stage in the litigation are much more broad and deep than
00:07:55.100
they were in the preliminary phase so we will root out the bad censorship enterprise and to anyone who
00:07:59.880
says well the government censorship was unique to 2020 2021 it's not going on anymore shall we run
00:08:04.980
instance in history when the government was evident we've teased its size and ceased that kind of
00:08:09.660
illicit behavior it always grows within a vacuum and so we know it's there we will find it we will
00:08:14.300
read it out and we will go back to court obtained another injunction that fight for free speech goes off
00:08:19.300
amazing yeah uh unfortunately we are left to to deal with this growing government um you mentioned
00:08:27.640
media we talked about suppression and censorship at the national level right within the presidential
00:08:32.820
election uh but you mentioned media and it it reminds me of just yet another um another case that
00:08:40.600
you have brought and this one is against media matters um media matters they are truly their own worst
00:08:47.040
enemy everything they post i look at it and it seems satirical for example the the president of media
00:08:53.160
matters uh he just recently was in an interview and he said that the media is getting it all wrong that
00:08:57.980
it's actually president trump who has mentally declined and that the debate showed how bad trump's
00:09:03.140
cognitive decline really is um they just had a a large layoff i digress whatever um but they have a
00:09:11.020
history of refusing to cooperate with investigations that you brought a case they've now you and i believe
00:09:18.740
attorney general now governor landry of louisiana but they've now essentially what they've done
00:09:23.380
is stonewalled y'all's investigation into their fraudulent practices like another important case
00:09:30.120
as it pertains to free speech and how missouri is fighting back and so can you walk us through
00:09:34.900
what media matters is doing and again how it affects everyday people yeah absolutely and again this is
00:09:42.100
the fight for the first amendment right to free fair and open debate the first amendment protects a
00:09:48.600
competition of ideas where the people you and i get to determine what is and isn't true
00:09:52.720
based on that free fair and open debate the competition of ideas what the list wants to
00:09:56.920
do whether it be government censorship while they want censorship that type of pressure of market
00:10:01.960
manipulation campaigns is to shut down that debate they want to silence any voice in opposition to
00:10:08.060
their ideals they do it through government censorship they do it through uh the the big tech social
00:10:12.900
media platforms i can try to put censorship policies which i think are even most i think it's
00:10:18.120
a scary role in that anything joseph stern could have contributed because when on shut down these
00:10:23.220
people every man movie had done it but when you have de-emphasized de-platformed people off
00:10:27.360
social media you and your listeners and viewers may not know for several dates and so the people who
00:10:32.080
have been receiving their message their lives have hesitated and they may never know and what the
00:10:36.500
evidence shows the media matters did is that they juxtaposed controversial speech on x formerly known as
00:10:41.880
women find advertisers in an attempt to bully those advertisers into withdrawing some acts why would
00:10:47.320
they do that they're manipulating the marketplace in women to destroy one of the left's platforms
00:10:53.180
dedicated to free speech in the united states of america it's a mistake in the way of free speech and
00:10:57.580
it's an evolving home set and i think that those the two recent decisions that have come down within
00:11:02.400
the last few days in the supreme court yeah missouri b and the net choice cases that just came down
00:11:07.060
today indicate that the bottom set is evolving and as state attorneys general i'm going to protect
00:11:11.960
consumers and protect the marketplace from uh accommodations of restraint of trade but
00:11:18.620
attorneys general need to find new and creative ways to to use the levers of authority to uh ensure that
00:11:25.100
there's transparency that works yeah no makes sense
00:11:28.620
it's interesting to hear your perspective obviously i'm not someone who who studied law
00:11:36.820
and so to be able to to hear you explain it so clearly um is important i think again just your
00:11:42.960
everyday person needs to hear that um but look you're suing planned parenthood you're suing media
00:11:49.300
matters you said the state of new york the biden administration and several different departments
00:11:53.280
including the department of education over the illegal administrative rewrite of title nine uh dozens of
00:12:00.200
officials in the federal government um back to the title line so if you've been big on the student
00:12:04.840
student loan stuff as well um but back to the title nine stuff something i thought was so unique
00:12:11.520
this issue the issue of men competing in women's sports uh is labeled and portrayed as one that is
00:12:20.000
incredibly divisive it is portrayed as something that is polarizing but what we saw after president
00:12:26.800
biden announced this new title nine rewrite this rollout uh we saw 26 attorney generals 26 different
00:12:33.920
states suing the biden administration i don't think we see again i i'm not in the same position
00:12:40.100
clearly that you are but but there's hardly i would imagine that same unity over a lot of issues and so
00:12:47.380
why is it that this this issue of title nine and the rewrite again the illegal administrative
00:12:55.100
rewrite that we have seen um why is it that so many are suing the biden administration so many ags
00:13:01.520
well i think it's because we love the constitution and the rule of law it has served our democratic
00:13:06.620
republic for the over 200 years and i mean people like myself who are fat in the land here and any
00:13:12.280
conflict or took you know took note to protect and defend the constitution against enemies foreign
00:13:16.480
and domestic take it seriously when we see these kinds of attacks on the constitution our constitutional
00:13:21.280
structure and the rule of law let me let me go back to student loans real quick before i shift the
00:13:26.140
title line just to say this then really when i was talking about the three strategic fronts in the
00:13:30.460
weaponization of government i think that is an underrated and underappreciated third front in
00:13:34.840
the sense that president biden was already telling though once before the united states supreme court
00:13:38.380
to plan b which they're still not enabling legislation to tim partners and i was like the supreme court
00:13:43.860
made the first time they told him no he's now perfectly willfully defending the supreme court it's a
00:13:48.480
constitutional basis and that he's trying to do is buy votes that's yet another form of
00:13:53.700
weaponization of government so you see false tension frustration of president trump you see censorship
00:13:59.000
on any platform and then you see this kind of like offense on the other side it's an incredibly
00:14:04.380
dangerous stock day in our republic when the funnel government from the chief executive president
00:14:08.640
behind this weaponizing like that so title line for 50 years title line has stood for the proposition
00:14:15.880
that women should have equal access and opportunity to athletic competitions and we have celebrated this in so
00:14:23.140
many different ways so many great female athletes over the decades we've been champions and that we've
00:14:28.380
been able to celebrate and watch and cheer on and yet what president biden has attempted to do with
00:14:33.000
the flick of a pin with again without any authorization from congress is to rewrite our law it's illegal and
00:14:39.240
it perverts the natural understanding of the law which is that it's supposed to protect women
00:14:43.080
not authorize men to participate in women's sports that's absurd and so i think him essentially like
00:14:49.280
rewriting the law with the flick of a pin without any uh you know without any say so from the people's
00:14:54.200
elected representatives in congress is unconstitutional and it flies in the face of the plain text of the
00:14:59.800
statute and it undermines the rule of law uh for for him to convince people that he can do this and
00:15:04.640
you're right i mean there's been largely unanimous voice against this because people want to protect
00:15:10.320
the sanctity of women's sports in the world of course i mean we're listening to you explain all of
00:15:17.640
these these different cultural issues uh again national issues security issues even where did we
00:15:25.180
where did we go wrong how do we now have an entire political party at least in terms of i guess elected
00:15:31.620
representation that are globalists rather than america first they want open borders rather than secure
00:15:39.060
ones they can't or i actually believe they can but they refuse to differentiate the real and
00:15:45.120
biological differences between men and women they don't see the necessity or the urgency of
00:15:50.680
maintaining the safeguarding of children or the importance of parental rights no they think
00:15:54.600
that your children are actually their children i mean when did this shift and i guess how is the
00:16:00.680
better question how did this shift happen well you know as a christian i believe that so much of it
00:16:06.640
started when uh the left drove christian ideology conversations about the christian faith
00:16:14.140
expressions of christian faith from public discourse i think that was one of the biggest tragedies
00:16:19.620
i think that too often culture is influencing the church instead of the church influencing culture
00:16:24.280
i think that's abominable uh i think that uh on top of all that you get the generation of people
00:16:30.120
we used to elevate the rules of the game and then the players in the audience and the the
00:16:34.140
Democrats are Republicans that's what's best for america the american people we just had different
00:16:39.280
ways of getting there well let's just jettison that approach and now they're willing to undermine
00:16:44.260
the rules of the game to achieve and to achieve their desire to maintain health and they're going
00:16:49.180
to destroy and train off system of government on the way to doing that and they no longer have any
00:16:54.080
interest in protecting practical good woke utopian ideology prevails the reason about any kind of
00:17:02.080
good designer to protect the good so like while inflation is rampant people can't afford you know
00:17:06.740
shoes for their kids or breakfast you know eggs and cereal to feed their kids before they go to
00:17:11.320
school and the link is going to tell you that you could use a path or somehow you're being
00:17:15.280
discriminant you know president he made an attempt to pack this country with illegal aliens so that
00:17:19.960
he can maintain power through allowing them to pack well people's lives at risk i mean all 1,100
00:17:25.360
deaths from i've received more than 1,500 deaths from physical exposure and when you're all in the
00:17:30.460
statements are now all in under reported incidences of human trafficking these are real life human
00:17:35.040
honors that are occurring on the streets of missouri every day and biden doesn't care because he wants
00:17:39.620
to appeal here as if he's a lot you know many of them doing anything with these medical modern
00:17:43.880
official words don't matter this is absolutely similar and again it's dangerous and that's why
00:17:47.780
it's so important that we have uh government officials who are willing to fight back like we
00:17:51.680
have here in missouri no doubt like you are um do you believe that the the pendulum is swinging back
00:17:58.440
i i look at what happened this week in terms of the scotus rulings a few different things and
00:18:03.700
and i can only imagine that it's due time that truth and sanity um restore themselves but but
00:18:11.880
do you believe the pendulum is swinging back i think the pendulum is swinging back you know how
00:18:16.800
how hard it swings back how fast it swings back is going to be dependent upon our ability to do
00:18:22.400
things like break up the censorship regime and i'm not just handing out the government censorship
00:18:26.620
regime it is but it's just and it's playing we've still got to break up it's internal censorship
00:18:32.560
there's no reason that people have yeah if you're an alien that showed up on interview and watched
00:18:37.500
the news or checked out social media you would think that half of our population is is transgender
00:18:42.160
or homosexual and certainly that's not the case and it's because the manipulation of ideas and
00:18:48.900
conversation on big tech is so bad that it over emphasizes some of these concepts in an attempt
00:18:54.780
to reshape our culture and i think it's important to expose that for what it is again if the government
00:19:00.500
were muting a phone call and when we start talking about things the government didn't like
00:19:04.720
uh not entirely but certainly we would know what was happening you don't necessarily know
00:19:09.240
when things are being de-emphasized or de-platform or shadow banned on big tech and it's not again it's
00:19:14.440
not just the speakers rise who are violated it's the listeners as well and it's fundamentally reshaping
00:19:19.400
this culture in negative ways it's our good thing to move that pendulum in the proper direction is
00:19:23.680
going to be dependent on our ability to break up some of that censorship no doubt anything on the
00:19:28.880
horizon that we can expect to hear about from from your office if we're excited to be finding this
00:19:35.460
case missouri v new wrote again to vindicate missourians rights to participate freely and
00:19:39.760
fairly in the national election uh to hear frame and have access to president trump he should have
00:19:44.000
not been tethered into a trial in manhattan in silence inhalation of the first amendment and that
00:19:49.760
wants missourians so that's important we're looking at ways we can get involved to increase
00:19:53.880
persecution about criminal aliens who are being uh who are trafficking drugs and humans through the
00:19:59.020
state of missouri so expect them then you look for my office on that issue we've got more than 50
00:20:04.120
lawsuits pending right now against the biden administration's unconstitutional illegal
00:20:08.080
behavior and on any given day we can uh we can score wins on those cases we've been fighting and
00:20:13.140
winning for missourians for the last 18 months and anticipate doing it for a long time in the future
00:20:17.260
gosh more than 50 lawsuits just against the biden admittance that is um again i think that speaks
00:20:24.360
to your dedication to preserving the constitution fighting for our freedom as missourians but but
00:20:30.160
again broader than that as americans and so you set the standard if every attorney general was like you
