Listen "(LISTEN): Missouri Attorney General Bailey discusses China lawsuit and tornado damage on "Wake Up Missouri""

Episode Synopsis

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) describes a federal judge's decision to rule in favor of Missouri's $24-billion lawsuit against China as historic. The lawsuit accuses China of hoarding personal protective equipment during the COVID pandemic. General Bailey joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". He tells listeners that he based the lawsuit on a 1976 law passed by the U.S. Congress. Then-President Gerald Ford signed that bill into law. While some question what Missouri can now do, General Bailey says they intend to collect every penny by seizing Chinese-owned assets like Missouri farmland. We also discussed Friday night's deadly tornado outbreak across Missouri, during the live interview. At least 12 people have been killed and more than 13,000 are still without power. The governor says the tornado outbreak destroyed 368 Missouri houses, adding that another 356 homes sustained major damage. General Bailey tells listeners that his office will not tolerate any scams nor price gouging against storm victims. He emphasizes that his office stands to protect tornado victims. He encourages anyone who has been scammed or experienced price gouging to call his office's consumer protection hotline at 1-800-392-8222:
