Andrew Bailey Welcome to the show, man. Appreciate you having me on. Appreciate you being here. So this has been, we've been communicating back and forth for a couple months now, and it's just, it's awesome to finally have you in here.
Man, it's a privilege to be here. I've been following your show, and to be able to sit in the same seat as some really incredible people with some incredible stories and get to be a part of it just means a lot to me.
Well, thank you for saying that. Thank you for saying that. And you are doing amazing things as the Attorney General for Missouri and really sticking it to the federal government when we needed it. It seems to me like every state needs a you. So how do we appreciate that? How do we make that happen? But and we'll dig into that. But we had a lot of stuff to cover.
Just talking to your team downstairs, sounds like you got a hell of a life story. So I was planning on just going over some policies and some stuff that you're kind of tackling as the Attorney General, but let's kick it off with a life story. But everybody starts with an intro here. So Attorney General Andrew Bailey.
You are the 44th Attorney General of Missouri, a decorated combat veteran, a prosecutor, and a staunch defender of constitutional rights. You went to college at the University of Missouri on an Army scholarship following the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States. You were commissioned as an armored cavalry officer in the Army and later deployed to Iraq.
Following your time in the Army, you attended law school and became a prosecutor to fight violent crime and protect Missouri communities. You've handled countless cases in both state and federal courts throughout your career defending our constitutional freedoms and the most vulnerable while delivering justice for victims.
You're focused on protecting the Constitution, enforcing the laws as written, defending the state, supporting the counties, and training a new generation of service-minded attorneys.
I'd like to remind everybody that you have a personal 90% plus conviction rate as a prosecutor, and probably more important than any of this stuff, you are a husband, a father of four with three adopted children, and a Christian.
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Getting to be a dad's the best thing that's ever happened to me, and my faith in Christ guides me in everything I do. I always feel like I'm at my own funeral when I hear my bio. It's weird hearing it, but yeah. It's been a wild ride. I've had some great opportunities and excited about my future in public service.
