Transcript

00:00:00.000 jury deliberations have ended.
00:00:17.000 The jury was sent home.
00:00:18.000 They will come back tomorrow.
00:00:19.000 They did not reach a verdict.
00:00:20.000 That's unsurprising.
00:00:21.000 But I guess what is also not surprising is that the judge instructed the jury that when it comes to finding if Trump is guilty, they must unanimously agree that Trump committed a crime.
00:00:34.000 The underlying crime can be one of three, by all means, pick yours.
00:00:38.000 And as long as you all agree at least one of them was broken, not unanimously, then he is guilty.
00:00:43.000 That's right.
00:00:44.000 The underlying crime could be one of three different things that Trump may or may not have done.
00:00:50.000 And they don't have to agree that Donald Trump did those things, as long as each of them agrees at least one of those things happened.
00:00:57.000 So this is insane.
00:01:00.000 They've basically rigged this against Trump.
00:01:02.000 When the prosecution said this, I was surprised the judge let it through, and then the judge gave the instructions to the jury.
00:01:08.000 While you must agree that the principal crime, falsifying business records, was committed, the underlying crime which makes it a felony?
00:01:16.000 Pick and choose!
00:01:16.000 It could be anything you think!
00:01:18.000 And so here we are.
00:01:19.000 Now, of course, the corporate press is lying about it.
00:01:21.000 And they're saying, no, no, it's all it's all fake news.
00:01:23.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:25.000 We got a couple other funny stories.
00:01:26.000 Biden snapping at a reporter.
00:01:28.000 Hunter Biden apparently wants to sue Fox News because they called him a degenerate crackhead.

00:02:51.000 Well, I used to be known as the MyPillowGuy.

00:03:18.000 I'm actually backed out to be able to do shows again.
00:03:21.000 I've been sitting there back home in Minnesota trying to protect my employees and everything from all the media attacks and the cancellations and the lawfare going on against MyPillow.
00:03:32.000 Here's their CEO out there wanting to get secure elections and they get sued.
00:03:37.000 It's crazy, the debunking, the cancellations.
00:03:41.000 Well, I bought your stuff.
00:03:42.000 We just bought a big order of all the MyPillow stuff and so we love it.
00:03:46.000 Thanks for being here.
00:03:47.000 It should be fun.
00:03:48.000 Thanks.
00:03:48.000 I got to see the skateboard thing out there with the pillow pit.
00:03:52.000 That's right.
00:03:52.000 We got a big pit of pillows and the kids were jumping into it.
00:03:56.000 It was awesome.
00:03:56.000 Right on.
00:03:57.000 All right.
00:03:57.000 We got Phil hanging out.

00:03:59.000 My name is Phil Labonte.
00:04:00.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.
00:04:02.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:04:06.000 It's good to see you again.
00:04:07.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel.
00:04:08.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.
00:04:10.000 That's Scanner News.
00:04:11.000 Follow all of their work on the Internet at TimCastNews.
00:04:14.000 Hi, Serge!
00:04:15.000 Howdy, y'all.
00:04:15.000 Let's get started, Tim.
00:04:16.000 The big news today is that the jury has begun its deliberations.
00:04:20.000 They wrapped without coming to a verdict.
00:04:22.000 That is unsurprising.
00:04:24.000 AP has the story.
00:04:25.000 Jurors in Trump-Hush money trial end first day of deliberations after asking to re-hear testimony.
00:04:30.000 And then they sent another note in asking for the judge's instructions again, because no one knows what the crime is.
00:04:38.000 Nobody understands what's going on.
00:04:39.000 Now, here's the best part.
00:04:41.000 Let's start from the beginning.
00:04:42.000 Jonathan Turley, posting this earlier in the morning, Murshan just delivered the coup de grace instruction.
00:04:49.000 He said that there is no need to agree on what occurred.
00:04:53.000 They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices.
00:04:57.000 Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he would still treat them as unanimous.
00:05:04.000 Now, the other day in closing arguments, we heard this from the prosecution and I...
00:05:10.000 You know, I knew the prosecution would do something like this.
00:05:13.000 Like, hey, you all know that Trump's a criminal.
00:05:15.000 Just convict him.
00:05:16.000 Say he committed a crime.
00:05:18.000 And the prosecution actually presents this.
00:05:20.000 The judge actually agrees.
00:05:21.000 We have this from Mark Levin.
00:05:23.000 The grotesque trial charade gets even worse this morning.
00:05:26.000 The Stalinist clown judge directed the jury that they can choose among three areas of crimes to convict the former president.
00:05:33.000 One, violations of federal election law, which no one in the courtroom is familiar with and the judge barred Brad Smith from testifying about.
00:05:40.000 Two, falsification of business records.
00:05:42.000 And three, tax violations.
00:05:44.000 Of course, the issue for all of the above is the requirement of criminal intent.
00:05:47.000 Furthermore, the idea that jurors can pick one of the three and they don't have to unanimously agree on which of the three is another shocking development.
00:05:55.000 Moreover, the federal campaign violation has still not been defined.
00:05:58.000 Now, here's where it gets good.
00:06:00.000 The corporate press, of course, is playing the game where they create their own conspiracy theory and then debunk it to trick people into not realizing what's going on.
00:06:08.000 The AP says posts misrepresent New York judges' instructions to jury in Trump hush money trial, claiming That the claim is that the judge told the jury they don't need to have a unanimous verdict.
00:06:20.000 Nobody said that.
00:06:21.000 We're talking about the underlying crime.
00:06:23.000 That's what Jonathan Turley pointed out.
00:06:24.000 That's what Mark Levin pointed out.
00:06:25.000 Basically, everyone pointed out that what they're saying is, if the jury says, yeah, Trump falsified a record, What is the other crime he's covering up?
00:06:35.000 The judge says you pick.
00:06:36.000 It's up to you because there's never been one.
00:06:39.000 They don't have one.
00:06:40.000 So, buried in this AP assessment false, Merchant said that to convict Trump, the jury will have to find unanimously on each of the 34 felony counts.
00:06:49.000 And then when you go down, they actually break down Well, not really.
00:06:54.000 The judge told the jury to convict Trump on any given charge.
00:06:57.000 To convict, they will have to find unanimously, they all must agree, the former president created a fraudulent entry in the company's records or caused someone else to do so.
00:07:06.000 They say the crime Trump committed or hid is a violation of New York election law, making it illegal for two or more conspirators to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means.
00:07:19.000 Mershan gave the jurors three possible quote, unlawful means, aka crimes, that they can apply to Trump's charges.
00:07:27.000 Falsifying other business records, breaking FEC law, or submitting false information in tax return.
00:07:34.000 For conviction, each juror would have to find that at least one of those three things happened, but they don't have to agree unanimously on which it was.
00:07:42.000 This whole time we've been wondering, what is the underlying crime?
00:07:46.000 They took a misdemeanor beyond the statute of limitations and said, yes, but he was concealing another crime.
00:07:52.000 Therefore, it's now a felony and we can charge him.
00:07:54.000 And everyone said, what's the underlying crime?
00:07:56.000 Oh, and the jury can figure it out if they want, but they don't got to be unanimous.
00:08:00.000 This is a rigged trial from the judge.
00:08:03.000 Welcome to 2024.
00:08:04.000 I'm not convinced that I think there's a decent probability Trump gets convicted.
00:08:09.000 I don't know what you do about a situation that's so convoluted.
00:08:16.000 The feds don't have any kind of authority to step in and it seems like the entire Justice Department of the state of New York is going to allow this.
00:08:27.000 I mean, it's on its face, it seems completely and totally ridiculous.
00:08:33.000 It also seems like everyone's kind of like, well, you know, once it gets to appeals, it's going to be obviously overturned or whatever, which would be the right thing.
00:08:41.000 But it's still it's like.
00:08:43.000 I'm still just like, I don't, I don't, I feel like- How long does that take?
00:08:46.000 Yeah, I feel like there needs to be some kind of remedy to, to, I wish there were, I, I feel like there should be, even if there isn't, uh, some kind of remedy to stop this, but I don't, I don't know that there is.
00:08:55.000 It's weird that the prosecution doesn't have to be specific in the crime that they're alleging they're trying to cover up.
00:09:01.000 I feel like that's part of the Constitution!
00:09:03.000 It reminds me of, you know, that show, Whose Line Is It Anyways?
00:09:05.000 And Drew Carey would always be like, well, the points don't matter.
00:09:08.000 Like, that's the prosecution right now.
00:09:09.000 The crimes don't matter as long as you convict.
00:09:11.000 Which is obviously, to me, an abuse of the justice system.
00:09:14.000 And, you know, you're completely right.
00:09:16.000 This, if tried as a misdemeanor, they couldn't have brought it after 2019.
00:09:21.000 And it wouldn't come with the jail sentence.
00:09:22.000 So there's, there's this weird, it all comes down to the fact that they are trying this as a felony, but the judge just said, But just forget about the stuff that would make it a felony.
00:09:31.000 You can make that up as we go along.
00:09:32.000 This is not the one that they had to change the statute of limitations.
00:09:35.000 No, no, no, no.
00:09:36.000 That was the Stormy Daniels one, right?
00:09:38.000 No, no, no, no.
00:09:38.000 This is the Stormy Daniels one.
00:09:40.000 E. Jean Carroll was when she sued Trump.
00:09:43.000 So that was finished.
00:09:44.000 They created a new law.
00:09:45.000 It's all so insane!
00:09:49.000 This is the anomalies of times we're in.
00:09:51.000 It's like, you know, none of this has ever happened before.
00:09:54.000 No.
00:09:54.000 Ever.
00:09:55.000 And, you know, I live it every day, different things.
00:09:58.000 And I watch our real president and what's happening there.
00:10:01.000 Can I say that?
00:10:02.000 Our real president?
00:10:04.000 Well, he really was a president at one point.
00:10:05.000 Yeah.
00:10:06.000 Well, he's Mr. President.
00:10:07.000 Yeah, right.
00:10:08.000 But anyway, these are times where, you know, it's like, you know, so many nonsensical things and you just gotta look at what's the real agenda.
00:10:18.000 There's another agenda if you can't make sense of it.
00:10:20.000 And, you know, I think it's backfiring, though.
00:10:23.000 I really do.
00:10:24.000 You know, I talked to our president, I'll say our real president, the other day, and he talks about, you know, all the time that This weaponizing against him.
00:10:34.000 But he gets to come out there.
00:10:35.000 He thinks of the positive.
00:10:37.000 At least he gets to talk to worldwide media.
00:10:39.000 And people are seeing through all this.
00:10:42.000 I mean, I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican.
00:10:44.000 I go everywhere in the country and they're seeing through this.
00:10:46.000 So I think there's actually good that's going to come out of it eventually going, hey, we can't ever let this kind of stuff happen again.
00:10:54.000 But there are people that are a Trump supporter saying, like, Normie's independence won't care.
00:11:01.000 Biden, what is this, Biden's supposed to have a press conference when the verdict comes out?
00:11:05.000 Is that what the plan is?
00:11:06.000 That's what I heard.
00:11:07.000 And of course, if that's the case, because that's the rumor going around, or it may be definitive news, I haven't checked, but if that's true, we all know what he's going to say.
00:11:14.000 He's going to say Donald Trump is a convicted felon.
00:11:16.000 Do not vote for this man.
00:11:18.000 And a lot of people are going to just be drooling into their laps going, okay, Right, yeah.
00:11:22.000 But you know, but you know what it's like?
00:11:24.000 This has been going on for so long.
00:11:26.000 It's like, you know, the kid, the cold wolf, the little boy, the cold wolf, it keeps going on and people are seeing through it.
00:11:31.000 And I'm not just people on the right or people on the left to say it's like their eyes are getting open that this is a this is a weaponization against all of our rights.
00:11:40.000 You know, I've you know, I've got things that have been that are going on.
00:11:43.000 And I really think that People see through that.
00:11:46.000 Any other time in history, you could go back and pick any indictment that he's gotten or anything that's happened, and they're done.
00:11:53.000 Your political career is over, you know?
00:11:56.000 I take, even myself as a businessman, you know, I get, well, they couldn't get my pass, so he's a crack guy.
00:12:02.000 Yeah, I admitted it, so I said it right away, right?
00:12:04.000 But, you know, you get a phone taken at a Hardee's drive-thru, everyone's going, and normally, in a normal world, they say, what crime did you commit, Mike?
00:12:11.000 What did you do?
00:12:12.000 Why did the FBI after you?
00:12:14.000 My buddy that was with me going hunting, coming back for a hunt trip, he was scared to death.
00:12:18.000 I'm going, you know, what did I do?
00:12:20.000 I wanted to be arrested and they wouldn't arrest me.
00:12:21.000 I mean, we're living in some weird times, crazy times.
00:12:24.000 This is the terrifying reality of our current state, the current state of our country.
00:12:30.000 The court of public opinion controls everything, basically.
00:12:33.000 And so what's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty isn't anymore.
00:12:36.000 People watch you get arrested.
00:12:37.000 They just assume the government is right and you're a bad person.
00:12:40.000 There are some polls, though, that have said that, you know, Trump could win independence.
00:12:45.000 A conviction could help Trump with independence in certain states.
00:12:48.000 There's one.
00:12:48.000 I believe even more than that.
00:12:50.000 I told them the other day, I said, you have a bucket here of common sense bucket, and I go around.
00:12:55.000 I've got a thing.
00:12:55.000 I just was in the heart of Chicago talking to Democrats here that voted for Biden.
00:13:00.000 They're now voting for Trump.
00:13:01.000 And I asked them why.
00:13:02.000 You know, I went around, asked them all why.
00:13:04.000 I had 500 of them in a room.
00:13:06.000 And you ask him why, and there's different reasons.
00:13:07.000 Well, one of the biggest things is what they are, economy right now, and the border open, and the fentanyl porn, and things like that.
00:13:14.000 But they're also looking at, as he's getting attacked, you know, they're flipping into this bucket of common sense going, you know.
00:13:22.000 I told, on his first indictment, I remember saying, you know, his polls went up.
00:13:27.000 And I said, man, you keep getting indicted to your polls, you're pretty sure you're going to have more votes than voters like Pennsylvania, you know.
00:13:34.000 You know, they have more votes than voters every election in Pennsylvania.
00:13:36.000 Well, they're really good at what they do.
00:13:38.000 It is wild, though.
00:13:40.000 I mean, I think Trump has really struck a chord in the way that, you know, progressive sort of activists in these ADAs and district attorney's offices couldn't have predicted.
00:13:51.000 Like, being somebody who is being sort of chased by the federal government, who is being persecuted on the level that he is, really won his hearts and minds of people, especially people who are not that interested in politics.
00:14:02.000 Right.
00:14:02.000 And I live that.
00:14:03.000 They come after me and my business just because I have a big platform out there.
00:14:06.000 who's also a billionaire in his home state is terrifying to anyone who doesn't have any
00:14:12.000 means of fighting a corrupt judicial system.
00:14:14.000 And I live that.
00:14:15.000 They come after me and my business just because I have a big platform out there.
00:14:19.000 I know so many small businesses that have been just attacked and they're done, you know,
00:14:23.000 with what's going on.
00:14:24.000 They don't have a voice.
00:14:25.000 They don't have a voice.
00:14:26.000 And I think you're right.
00:14:27.000 You've hit a, you know, you've hit a touch the court with people out there going, what
00:14:31.000 if it did?
00:14:32.000 What if it was us?
00:14:33.000 You know, well, they can do it there.
00:14:34.000 They could do it.
00:14:35.000 It doesn't matter what party you're in.
00:14:36.000 You know, I like to point out, uh, Fareed Zakaria on CNN saying this case would not
00:14:41.000 have been brought against a person whose name was not Donald Trump.
00:14:45.000 It's a really stupid way of saying they only brought this case because it's Trump.
00:14:49.000 But when CNN is saying that, regular people hear it, and then when you hear stuff like this, this is why the AP is trying to cover up for the judge.
00:15:00.000 This is the game they play.
00:15:02.000 Guys, for everybody watching this, I want to hammer this point in.
00:15:07.000 I explain this all the time.
00:15:09.000 Someone will claim something.
00:15:11.000 Someone will say, like, hey, I noticed a thing.
00:15:14.000 The corporate press will slightly alter the claim.
00:15:17.000 and at the very bottom explain that it was true the whole time.
00:15:20.000 So the example I have to give is Donald Trump will do a backflip, you know, and land perfectly
00:15:26.000 in front of everybody.
00:15:27.000 Right.
00:15:28.000 And then what Snopes and all these cover press outlets will do is they'll write, did Donald
00:15:32.000 Trump really do a backflip dot dot dot on Sunday morning?
00:15:36.000 False in big bold letters.
00:15:38.000 Then it'll give you this huge two-page breakdown, and at the very bottom it'll say, while it is true that Trump did a backflip on Saturday, he did not do it on Sunday, when no one made that claim.
00:15:47.000 And to exemplify this, we know for a fact, the judge said, the underlying crime can be one of three, so long as you agree at least one of them was broken.
00:15:57.000 Even if you don't agree that he broke all of them, or you're not even unanimous, it's fine to convict him on the first charge.
00:16:04.000 What they've changed now is, according to the AP, they're saying the claim is that you don't need a
00:16:09.000 unanimous verdict to convict Trump. When the claim was always you don't need to be unanimous on the
00:16:16.000 underlying crime. What they've done is they've created their own conspiracy. And what will
00:16:21.000 happen now is regular people, you'll be sitting at dinner.
00:16:24.000 We've got the Fourth of July coming up.
00:16:27.000 You're going to you're going to come to the family and you're going to be at the lake drinking a beer
00:16:30.000 and you're going to be talking about this case. And they'll be like, no, that's fake news,
00:16:33.000 because I read in the AP. And then it's going to be difficult for you to try to explain how the AP
00:16:37.000 lied by creating their own fake argument. And then at the.
00:16:40.000 Bottom of the article actually saying they don't have to agree unanimously on which crime was committed.
00:16:46.000 It's incredible how they do this.
00:16:47.000 Yeah, absolutely it is.
00:16:49.000 You know, my personal experience with that, we were just talking before the show, I have all the journalists, I think every journalist in the world on my phone, and they'll attack and attack, and I'll write these articles, the headline will be, you know, Mike Lindell did this, or whatever, or we talked about the warehouse.
00:17:05.000 Michael and Jill, my pillow's out in the street.
00:17:08.000 The employees, they lost their warehouse.
00:17:10.000 Well, then you read down through the article, and then you get the truth at the bottom.
00:17:13.000 But in the meantime, everyone's calling me up.
00:17:15.000 They're going, you know, what do you do?
00:17:16.000 You're out in the street.
00:17:17.000 You lost everything.
00:17:18.000 Are you ashamed of what you stood up for?
00:17:23.000 But that, for me, I've used that as a way to get the word out, even.
00:17:26.000 And I was just saying, some of these journalists, I've actually become weird friends with them, going, hey, you've got to bash me a little more, because otherwise you're boss.
00:17:33.000 Otherwise, your boss isn't going to print the article.
00:17:36.000 It'll be too good.
00:17:37.000 I've done it before where I've had journalists from the New York Times and the Washington Post.
00:17:41.000 I've given them my book to read.
00:17:43.000 I read my book before I give them a long interview.
00:17:46.000 Well, then they read the book and their articles are too good because they're torn.
00:17:49.000 And they never got printed.
00:17:51.000 And the one for the Washington Post, I re-shared it everywhere because it was like, wow, I can't believe it slipped by his boss.
00:17:59.000 All right.
00:18:00.000 But my point being is, people now are even getting wise to the articles you describe because you see these headlines.
00:18:07.000 But a lot of them aren't.
00:18:08.000 A lot of them are still part of the brainwashing.
00:18:10.000 You know, here's the headline, this is what the truth is.
00:18:13.000 But the truth has been twisted so much by the news, and it's disgusting the way they twist it.
00:18:18.000 Well, let's jump to this next one.
00:18:19.000 We got a tweet from the Trump war room.
00:18:20.000 It's a clip from CNN.
00:18:23.000 No change in public opinion during the Trump trial.
00:18:26.000 This is amazing.
00:18:28.000 Check this out.
00:18:28.000 John, that it began, but apparently it's 44 days.
00:18:31.000 You cracked the numbers.
00:18:32.000 You've run the numbers.
00:18:33.000 All right, let's take a look here.
00:18:35.000 Think Trump did something illegal in the New York hush money case.
00:18:38.000 I've been interested in whether or not these numbers would change at all during the course of this trial.
00:18:43.000 Simply put, John, they have not.
00:18:48.000 After the direct examination of Michael Cohn by the prosecution, look at where we are now.
00:18:56.000 The percentage of Americans who think that the charges are very serious in fact dropped from 40% to a little bit more than 35% during the course of this trial.
00:19:06.000 So yes, perhaps things might have changed with those 12 jurors, but when it comes to the larger American public, there has been no Change at least so far, John.
00:19:17.000 I really love how he had to write no with his finger on their stupid screen.
00:19:21.000 I like that he's presenting it as a win.
00:19:23.000 Any possible reasons why?
00:19:24.000 Yeah, I think the question is what's exactly cooking here?
00:19:27.000 Why hasn't there been much of a change?
00:19:29.000 While folks like you and me, real news junkies, might be paying really close attention to what's going on, the fact is most Americans Don't really care that much.
00:19:39.000 So closely following news about economy inflation, that's number one at 65%.
00:19:44.000 Look at immigration, 52%.
00:19:45.000 Election legitimacy, 49%.
00:19:48.000 Abortion, 47%.
00:19:50.000 All the way down on this list of issues tested by the Ipsos Knowledge Panel is Trump's court cases at 42%.
00:19:59.000 I'll just rephrase it for you, buddy.
00:20:01.000 They don't care.
00:20:01.000 They're wondering why their eggs cost so much money, why they can't afford broken bread.
00:20:04.000 And they know that Joe Biden's not the president who's going to fix the economy.
00:20:07.000 And a big reason why Americans minds aren't changing is at this particular point, John,
00:20:13.000 they are tuned out of the.
00:20:15.000 I'll just rephrase it for you, buddy.
00:20:17.000 They don't care.
00:20:19.000 They're wondering why their eggs cost so much money, why they can't afford to look in bread.
00:20:24.000 And they know that Joe Biden's not the president who's going to fix the economy.
00:20:28.000 And Donald Trump is.
00:20:29.000 That's right.
00:20:29.000 That's it.
00:20:30.000 I told, I was talking, when I talked to our president the other day, when I say that, I was talking with Donald Trump, and I said, you have this bucket here, this common sense bucket, and I told him, you know, as things keep, he keeps getting attacked, his polls keep going up, and once you're in the bucket, I told him, you've given nobody a reason to leave that bucket, because he can go back to point to December of 2019, And all of us, our lives, no matter where you started or how many forks you ate with, your lives have somewhat improved with the economy all the time, highest consumer confidence ever.
00:21:04.000 And now the destruction that's going on with the economy and the borders, and being an ex-crack addict, worried about the addiction, the hopelessness with the fentanyl pouring across and deaths all over.
00:21:16.000 These things are driving people to this bucket of common sense, and they don't care about all this nonsense that we're having to go through.
00:21:23.000 That other case where I'm sitting in Mar-a-Lago the other day where that one judge said Mar-a-Lago was worth like 18 million or some nonsense.
00:21:31.000 I'm going, this wing's worth 18 million.
00:21:33.000 I know what the properties are worth around there, and you just can't You put your head around this and going, what's going on?
00:21:40.000 What are they doing this for?
00:21:42.000 But I just think it's pure evil and it's backfiring on them.
00:21:46.000 Let's not just do one, let's do four indictments.
00:21:49.000 Let's just keep going.
00:21:50.000 We pile on, the public will just go away.
00:21:52.000 Right, and each case is the most important one.
00:21:54.000 Every time one hits, they're like, well, we weren't that serious about that.
00:21:57.000 We're really serious about the next one.
00:21:58.000 This is the big one here.
00:21:59.000 This always makes me laugh because CNN is almost like, well, you know, we have to justify because we thought people would be obsessed with this.
00:22:05.000 Because I assume CNN or maybe the prosecution would assume that as they present their case and the media freaks out about it.
00:22:12.000 CNN covered it nonstop that more people would start to believe that Donald Trump had done something wrong.
00:22:17.000 But in fact, the fact that there's no change tells you how ineffective this prosecution was.
00:22:21.000 And how siloed we are politically.
00:22:22.000 No, no, no, there is a big change.
00:22:24.000 CNN's ratings have gone down.
00:22:25.000 That's so true.
00:22:26.000 And I think they're lying about their staying even.
00:22:29.000 It's probably so much pouring into this bucket they gotta go, we'll just say it's even, that it's not going up, when really it's going up.
00:22:35.000 I do wonder how much you guys think the admission from CNN is gonna actually move the needle.
00:22:41.000 Now I don't think that actually anything coming from the courtroom is gonna, but I do wonder if like the people that have been Spreading the narrative and the viewers have been used to kind of allowing them to shift, you know, as the narrative shifts and not really interrogate the change.
00:23:01.000 Do you think that this is going to move the needle?
00:23:03.000 Do you think that they're going to be like, well, maybe because CNN, you know, I mean, how much do you think it's going to matter if at all?
00:23:09.000 So a couple of years ago, You know, I was at a family dinner for Thanksgiving, and it was very much the, you got your liberal family members, and you got your conservative family members.
00:23:20.000 And then last year, it was a nobody was with Biden.
00:23:25.000 Right.
00:23:26.000 So, you know, without getting into too much detail for the sake of people's privacy, it was kind of like, you know, a couple years ago, it's like, no, Trump's bad.
00:23:33.000 Oh, come on, Biden's not that bad.
00:23:34.000 Last year was, oh, Biden's awful.
00:23:36.000 It wasn't a pro-Trump thing.
00:23:38.000 It was a, oh, I can't believe how bad things are getting.
00:23:39.000 That's exactly right.
00:23:40.000 And that's like, I just spent like a week in Chicago and I'm not kidding.
00:23:44.000 I couldn't believe it that these people, I went to the Capitol and all the, the Democrats there were coming up to me and asking me, cause they're, you know, I'm all for election platforms, securing our elections.
00:23:53.000 And they're coming up, these are the politicians coming out to me, even they see what's going on.
00:23:58.000 I really believe that, that you look around and I don't, you know, it's a destruction that's going on, but it's actually, You know, all these things that's getting, you know, I call them Uniparty Republicans, I call them blockers out there, the Brad Rassenburgers, the Robin Voss of the world that I'm trying to get gone.
00:24:14.000 And these guys, there's been so much revealed as and by This onion being opened up, you know, what was the nonsense of shutting down the pipeline on the first day when he was in power?
00:24:28.000 The other stuff, more destruction than anything, you know, all the entrepreneurs in our country, the shipping charges, the stuff that goes with that is destroying and people, they don't see what's really going on there.
00:24:38.000 This mom-and-pop business is where you have these shipping charges because of one thing, you know, you shut down the pipeline, you know, gas prices can control everything.
00:24:48.000 What I do believe when Donald Trump, I'll say when he's back in, that this can all be fixed maybe better than ever because we've all learned so much what does destroy what is open, you know, open our eyes.
00:24:59.000 That border is disgusting.
00:25:00.000 I mean, when you have something that's going right, why would you not keep doing it right?
00:25:04.000 So Joe Biden shuts down Keystone, shuts down these pipelines, bans fracking on federal lands.
00:25:10.000 And a bunch of Trump supporters are like, oh, look, gas prices are going up.
00:25:15.000 The media then says Trump supporters are lying because Keystone wasn't in operation.
00:25:20.000 It wasn't actually transporting crude, so it has no effect.
00:25:23.000 That's a lie.
00:25:25.000 What happened was there is supply and demand and there's future prospecting on the amount of supply that's going to be available.
00:25:31.000 When Biden shut down Keystone, basically all of the speculators and all of the companies said, without this pipeline, we are going to be in a supply deficit within X amount of years.
00:25:41.000 That's right.
00:25:42.000 By now, to bolster our stocks of petroleum, and then other speculators come in saying, oh wow, I'm going to get rich when the price skyrockets.
00:25:53.000 This speculation causes immediate prices of crude to go up, and then you feel it at the gas pump.
00:26:00.000 That's right.
00:26:00.000 It's all speculation.
00:26:00.000 Right.
00:26:02.000 And not to mention, 13 people on that pipeline committed suicide of those workers.
00:26:06.000 That was their job.
00:26:07.000 Yeah, it was disgusting what went on then.
00:26:09.000 They just shut it down overnight and it was bad.
00:26:14.000 That's terrible, but people do need to take into account how like the the just
00:26:19.000 the policy decisions that an administration talks about regulations that
00:26:24.000 they discuss affects the price of gas.
00:26:26.000 And we discuss how immoral it is that the Biden administration is taking, you know,
00:26:31.000 oil from our our strategic reserves, because that leaves the United States in
00:26:36.000 a even more compromised position internationally or on the geopolitical
00:26:42.000 scale or whatever.
00:26:43.000 But the fact of the matter is, like, there are still things that the Biden
00:26:47.000 administration could do that would help the not just the cost of fuel like gas,
00:26:52.000 but the cost of everything, because the cost of gas is such a large part of
00:26:58.000 every single thing we purchase, you know.
00:27:02.000 So Biden could come out and be like, I want to raise gas prices and they just go nuts.
00:27:06.000 The whole system would freak out because people start making crazy moves.
00:27:10.000 There was this moment when the, I think it was the Syrian electronic army, which was a couple of hackers based in Russia, actually supporting Syria.
00:27:17.000 I think they were Syrian, but they were refugees.
00:27:19.000 They hacked the AP Twitter account.
00:27:22.000 tweeted that Barack Obama had been injured in some kind of attack, and then the market just tanked.
00:27:27.000 And then when the AP got control back and then said this was a hack, it jumped back up to about
00:27:33.000 90% of where it was. What people don't realize is that was an instant transfer of probably
00:27:38.000 hundreds of millions of dollars from one group to the next.
00:27:41.000 That could have just a tweet.
00:27:44.000 That's right.
00:27:45.000 That's how simple it is.
00:27:46.000 So, what do you think happens when Biden says, I'm banning fracking on federal lands and we're shutting down a massive oil pipeline?
00:27:53.000 Gas prices are going to go up.
00:27:55.000 He could do something too, but he's so beholden to the eco-crazies that he's got to deal with in his own party.
00:28:02.000 Yeah, he did make environmentalism a huge part of his platform.
00:28:05.000 But I think actually a larger component would probably be the Saudis.
00:28:08.000 I think Biden's looking to cut a deal with Saudi Arabia of, OK, you keep the flow rolling, we'll cut down giving you control over supply so long as you agree to work with us.
00:28:18.000 You know, that's how the petrodollar works.
00:28:20.000 Earn favor with Saudi Arabia, you're going to make a lot more money as the main supplier.
00:28:24.000 We'll cut back, but don't do it out of turn.
00:28:26.000 We want to control how much you're actually putting out.
00:28:29.000 So you get more from when Saudi Arabia dumps oil into the market, it affects the dollar.
00:28:33.000 And so the U.S.
00:28:34.000 is trying to negotiate.
00:28:35.000 And then, of course, you get the Yemen crisis, the U.S.
00:28:37.000 supporting them.
00:28:38.000 Trump's not innocent there.
00:28:39.000 That's a whole other fiasco.
00:28:41.000 But I think Joe Biden is basically the you know, I told this to Trump.
00:28:46.000 It seems like the MAGA platform is secure our borders, bring our jobs back, get the American workers back to work, boost our economy internally.
00:28:54.000 And the Democrat platform is, no, no, no, we don't need to do any of that.
00:28:57.000 All we got to do is send our men and women overseas to go fight in wars, to go blow up people and get blown up, and then hopefully we can control enough territory and energy that we can just take from everybody else.
00:29:09.000 That's not a successful policy in the long term.
00:29:11.000 It results in terror, blowback, war, and conflict, and nobody wants to spend money on that.
00:29:16.000 I've seen something that was such irony.
00:29:19.000 It was just yesterday.
00:29:20.000 I think it might have been on Facebook or Twitter or something and here in California.
00:29:24.000 So you take away your police and you have all these electric cars and all the stations where all of them were caught because there's copper in the lines and all of them were ransacked.
00:29:34.000 I mean hundreds of these.
00:29:36.000 And they showed all the copper cutouts.
00:29:37.000 So they're sitting there.
00:29:39.000 Well, now you're going to have to hire, how are you going to place them?
00:29:41.000 You know, you got to remake them to, to be, because people are going to keep doing it.
00:29:44.000 They don't get arrested for anything out in California.
00:29:46.000 Yeah.
00:29:47.000 People, people are cutting the Tesla because there's a lot of copper there.
00:29:52.000 There's a lot of copper.
00:29:53.000 Yeah.
00:29:54.000 That's crazy.
00:29:55.000 So I'm going.
00:29:56.000 You know, once again, bad decisions.
00:29:59.000 One of the things when I met Donald Trump, people always ask me, it's in my book too,
00:30:03.000 but is when I met him in August of 2016, I never voted in my life.
00:30:08.000 I was next crack addict.
00:30:09.000 I didn't think politics meant a thing, right?
00:30:11.000 I got, you know, the world goes on.
00:30:12.000 You never voted at all?
00:30:14.000 I never voted.
00:30:15.000 I was a crack addict.
00:30:17.000 One time on a show when I did my first rally, they go, you know, I was on the, I was, I was on a radio station yesterday and there was like 20,000 people at this rally.
00:30:25.000 And I was first speech I ever did.
00:30:26.000 And I go, there was 20,000 people.
00:30:29.000 I said, I was, I mean, I was getting interviewed on a radio station.
00:30:31.000 They called me the founder of MyPillow and a former Democrat.
00:30:34.000 I said, I got right on there and corrected him.
00:30:36.000 I didn't, I didn't find MyPillow.
00:30:38.000 I invented MyPillow.
00:30:39.000 I wasn't a former Democrat.
00:30:41.000 I was a former crack addict.
00:30:42.000 And everybody laughed.
00:30:43.000 I was.
00:30:43.000 I go, no, really?
00:30:44.000 I don't know why they laughed, because they were like, well, what's the difference?
00:30:49.000 But the point being, what I was saying, when I met him, it was such, I met him August 15, 2016, and he invited me there just because I had my pillow made in the USA.
00:30:58.000 And he wanted to ask me, this nobody from Minnesota that had built a company from, you know, being an American dream.
00:31:04.000 And he said, how is it making your stuff here?
00:31:07.000 And he asked me all these questions.
00:31:08.000 And then they said, now, whatever you do, don't tell him you're a crack addict.
00:31:11.000 Right away, I go, you know, I was a crack addict.
00:31:13.000 I kind of looked at him like this, you know, and he goes, uh, I said, I'm going to have this network, the Lindau Recovery Network.
00:31:19.000 It's going to be free to addicts.
00:31:20.000 And he says, and I'm going to stop the drugs pouring in.
00:31:22.000 I'm going to shut that border down.
00:31:24.000 But it was, it was so many common sense solutions to, you know, to, uh, I go, wow, this is like a businessman, like a CEO.
00:31:32.000 If a president, I never know what a president, you know, I never met one before.
00:31:36.000 I go, you know, that's when I went all in.
00:31:37.000 I'm going, man, if he really does this, it's problem-solution, and he has a gift of what it's going to manifest to help all people.
00:31:44.000 I always tell people, when government's making decisions that don't help either party, if it doesn't help any of the people, there's a hidden agenda.
00:31:53.000 You know, there's a hidden agenda, and it's not good.
00:31:56.000 Not good for you.
00:31:57.000 And that's it.
00:31:58.000 That's why I wanted to secure our election platforms.
00:32:01.000 What's so bad about that?
00:32:02.000 We all want transparent, fair elections.
00:32:04.000 Well, not everybody.
00:32:07.000 Right, not the bad people.
00:32:08.000 Let's jump to the story from the post-millennial.
00:32:10.000 Hunter Biden to sue Fox News for calling him a degenerate crackhead.
00:32:15.000 Heavens, why would they say such a thing?
00:32:18.000 Hunter Biden is preparing to sue Fox News for defamation, alleging the network exploited his drug addiction to dehumanize him.
00:32:25.000 His lawyers sent a letter to Fox News several weeks ago threatening legal action for allegedly collaborating with Trump operatives and pro-Russia nationals to defame him for profit.
00:32:34.000 The letter demands retractions, corrections, and on-air apologies.
00:32:37.000 Hunter Biden's attorneys told the Daily Beast they plan to file a lawsuit shortly.
00:32:40.000 Hunter Biden also expressed his frustrations in an interview with the outlet, stating,
00:32:44.000 I'm not saying my addiction is an excuse for my bad behavior.
00:32:47.000 What I'm saying is that my addiction is not an excuse for them to dehumanize me
00:32:50.000 and in so dehumanize everybody from the addict that you pass it on the street
00:32:55.000 to the one that you live with. That is the principal motivating factor.
00:32:59.000 Addict, addict, addict, addict.
00:33:01.000 You know, crack addict.
00:33:02.000 He's a crack addict.
00:33:03.000 Smoking crack addict.
00:33:05.000 In response to a potential lawsuit, a spokesperson for Fox News cited the company's statement about constitutionally protected coverage regarding a public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the DOJ and Congress and has been indicted by two different U.S.
00:33:17.000 attorneys' offices in California and Delaware And has admitted to multiple incidents of wrongdoing.
00:33:23.000 So in his book, he said he was a crack addict, a crack daddy, and a crack head.
00:33:29.000 You can't sue someone for that, you know?
00:33:31.000 Well, you know, maybe he thinks because Fox pays off on frivolous lawsuits, so maybe he thinks he's got a chance, you know?
00:33:37.000 Can I say that?
00:33:38.000 But that's true.
00:33:39.000 I mean, Fox is probably just going to be like, okay, what do you want?
00:33:44.000 The lawyers are going to go to Fox, and they're going to say, it's a ridiculous lawsuit, it's going to cost you $200,000 to go to court.
00:33:50.000 Right.
00:33:51.000 And this is where we're at.
00:33:51.000 That's another thing, too, that bothers me in this country with lawfare and everything else.
00:33:56.000 You can be right on something, and it costs you more to say, no, I didn't do this, I'm in the middle of it, I know.
00:34:03.000 You know, it's disgusting, these suits that are gone.
00:34:05.000 Especially when you're suing, like, the government, right?
00:34:09.000 Like, if the government's coming after you, they can spend taxpayer money all day long, forever and ever, whereas you eventually, I mean, maybe not you, but the average American will run out of money at some point.
00:34:17.000 They took my cell phone and I sued the FBI and our government.
00:34:17.000 Right.
00:34:21.000 They never gave my phone back.
00:34:22.000 I took it all the way to the Supreme Court and they wouldn't accept it.
00:34:25.000 You know, so now I've got to shelf that over here.
00:34:27.000 They're never giving my phone back.
00:34:28.000 I use all my business.
00:34:29.000 I wasn't charged with a crime.
00:34:31.000 You can't just take—nowadays, my phone is everything, all my business stuff.
00:34:34.000 That's crazy, you know?
00:34:36.000 And I kept fighting and spending more money.
00:34:38.000 I'm going, you know what?
00:34:39.000 I got other bigger fights, so everybody has to—and they still have my phone.
00:34:43.000 I have my grandkids' pictures on there that I can't get off of, you know?
00:34:47.000 Even the judges in Minnesota, the Supreme Court there, the Ninth Circuit or Eighth Circuit, whatever it was, they go—the three judges go, Are you going to give us phone back?
00:34:55.000 Can't you just do a download?
00:34:56.000 No, we're going to keep this.
00:34:58.000 This is the lawyer for the government, right?
00:35:02.000 And then they asked, one of the judges said, well, what about client or attorney-client privilege there?
00:35:07.000 And he goes, well, we're looking through it all.
00:35:10.000 So that's like, okay, so you say, oh, we shouldn't have seen that.
00:35:13.000 We shouldn't have seen that.
00:35:14.000 It's like a jury, disregard what you just heard.
00:35:17.000 It's bizarre, the weaponization that's going on.
00:35:24.000 When you talk about defamation, and you talk about my cases, the electronic machines that were used by our government, they're basically our government device in all our elections.
00:35:36.000 Why should I and Sue just say, hey, I want to see inside them?
00:35:39.000 You know, I want some transparency here.
00:35:41.000 Yeah, Ian often says that election machines should, the source code should be open source.
00:35:46.000 Yeah, they should be open.
00:35:47.000 You should, we should all be able to see.
00:35:48.000 Hey, show us what's inside.
00:35:49.000 I used an example once.
00:35:50.000 I said, if somebody accused my pillow of having rocks and knives in it, do you think I'd go around suing you all?
00:35:57.000 You just got, Mike, we used them in our pit out here and we've jumped in.
00:36:00.000 There's rocks and knives in it.
00:36:01.000 I wouldn't sue you for saying that.
00:36:03.000 I'd say, no, no, no.
00:36:04.000 Look inside this beautiful patented fill, you know.
00:36:06.000 Well, they would show an exposure show you what's inside.
00:36:09.000 There was that guy who called your pillows lumpy. Yeah My lawyer I said, you know what a jerky attacks my pillow
00:36:15.000 my employees, you know, I think I called him a few names I probably should have seven
00:36:20.000 But they leaked out of the deposition. That's supposed to be private, right?
00:36:23.000 You know, they leaked that out and then they leaked it to make you look bad, but it was the best thing ever
00:36:28.000 You know what the lawyer says to me then he goes in this case still going on
00:36:32.000 He goes well, you know the judge is gonna see this I go.
00:36:35.000 Well good for her I got a big problem with Judge Wing out of Colorado.
00:36:39.000 And I do got a big problem with her.
00:36:41.000 You know what that judge did?
00:36:43.000 Here's what she did.
00:36:44.000 This lawsuit started in the summer of 22.
00:36:47.000 So it's so frivolous.
00:36:49.000 What I did is I, we put in for, you know, to get it dismissed, a dismissal.
00:36:54.000 Well, that's like, if I put a lawsuit against you or if anybody did it, that's your first line of defense is, Hey, I wasn't at that.
00:37:00.000 It's not even me.
00:37:02.000 You put in for a dismissal.
00:37:04.000 Well this Judge Wang decided, you know what, I'm not going to rule on the dismissal.
00:37:08.000 You go ahead and pay for discovery and everything else and move this forward.
00:37:12.000 If I didn't have the resources, if somebody off the street, if a judge did that to them and they were completely innocent, And they did that and said, you go spend all this money on lawyers and all this garbage.
00:37:22.000 It was wrong.
00:37:23.000 So this was nine months later when I was in that deposition, and I let that Judge Wang have it.
00:37:28.000 I said, you know what?
00:37:29.000 You either rule.
00:37:30.000 I don't care if you rule against me.
00:37:31.000 You don't change our country and, you know, change our country and set a precedence where every judge can go, oh, we're not going to do it.
00:37:38.000 I'm not going to rule on the dismissal.
00:37:39.000 You go into discovery.
00:37:40.000 I had had it with her.
00:37:41.000 You know what?
00:37:42.000 I went on my show that night and I just ripped her up one side and down the other.
00:37:45.000 But she ruled the next day.
00:37:46.000 She ruled against me on the dismissal.
00:37:48.000 But at least she made a ruling.
00:37:49.000 That's all I asked of her.
00:37:50.000 You know?
00:37:50.000 I just wanted the ruling.
00:37:52.000 But that lawyer, that was a whole other deal.
00:37:54.000 I mean, I let him have it.
00:37:54.000 Well, he attacked your integrity and your product.
00:37:56.000 Yeah, he attacked it.
00:37:57.000 He attacked my pill, my company.
00:37:59.000 You know, what does this have to do with you and your crooked client, you know?
00:38:03.000 People don't understand that You know, they think this country was once... We've always been in some kind of conflict.
00:38:12.000 We've always been in some kind of escalating state of conflict, but in the 90s things were pretty okay.
00:38:18.000 The Democrats and Republicans got along on most issues and argued, and so that's kind of where people are like, That's when things were pretty good.
00:38:26.000 It was the 90s.
00:38:27.000 We disagreed, there was the impeachment, the scandal, but people generally got along.
00:38:33.000 That's right.
00:38:34.000 Today, we are back in this conflict state where, look, you probably know it better than I do, when it comes to lawsuits, one of the first things the lawyer asks is, where do you want to file?
00:38:45.000 If you file in a blue area, you lose.
00:38:47.000 If you file in a red area, you win.
00:38:49.000 It's unbelievable.
00:38:50.000 Mine was supposed to be filed in both areas, but in Minnesota, and they moved it all to D.C.
00:38:54.000 They moved all my cases to D.C.
00:38:56.000 One of them, I sued the other one first.
00:38:58.000 I sued them.
00:38:59.000 And they tell me, your lawsuits are no good.
00:39:04.000 Mine was ruled out.
00:39:05.000 Your lawsuits are no good.
00:39:06.000 We're going to dismiss those.
00:39:07.000 And now we're going to sanction you.
00:39:09.000 I had to learn these new things.
00:39:11.000 Sanctions and you don't have standing.
00:39:14.000 I mean, the sanction was the worst.
00:39:15.000 I asked to see, in my own case, against a machine company.
00:39:18.000 I won't even name their name.
00:39:20.000 One of them, I'm going, I subpoenaed machines, some in Michigan, to get the machines.
00:39:25.000 It's my evidence, right?
00:39:26.000 It's a couple billion dollars.
00:39:28.000 I think I should get to see my evidence.
00:39:29.000 The judge ruled, no, you can't see them.
00:39:31.000 And even for asking you, they sanctioned me $24,000, my lawyers, for asking.
00:39:37.000 I mean, you can't make this stuff up, huh?
00:39:38.000 This is in D.C.?
00:39:39.000 In D.C.?
00:39:39.000 No, this was in Michigan where I asked for the machines.
00:39:42.000 And that judge there sanctioned me.
00:39:44.000 And then the media will use this.
00:39:47.000 Well, it was a Trump-appointed judge, Mike.
00:39:49.000 Who cares who appointed the judge?
00:39:51.000 U.S.
00:39:52.000 judges down in Georgia, where Obama appointed a judge.
00:39:56.000 Actually, it was three and a half years, this case against Crooked Brad Rassenburger down there, the Secretary of State, and the curling case.
00:40:03.000 Finally, last fall, she said, she made a ruling, said, hey, the experts have looked inside these machines.
00:40:09.000 And she said, we're going to bring this to court, or bring it to trial.
00:40:13.000 And she said, and if you question the machines, you're not a conspiracy theorist.
00:40:17.000 I was so happy I got to take off my tinfoil hat on national TV.
00:40:21.000 Jimmy Kimmel, he aired it where I, you know, hey, just because I want to talk about it doesn't mean I'm a conspiracy theorist.
00:40:27.000 So then it goes to her court in January in Georgia.
00:40:31.000 Guy Halderman, the expert, with a ballpoint pen, hacked into the machine in front of her and changed the election in five minutes.
00:40:38.000 And so now she's in a tough position because that is she's still delivering
00:40:43.000 What do we do now in Georgia to get rid of these machines that were proved right there? There's problems, you know,
00:40:48.000 there's problems We're not turning over an election proving that you're just
00:40:51.000 proving you can't use these devices. That's all it is She's got to make a decision.
00:40:56.000 My guess is, well, let's just wait till after 2024.
00:40:58.000 You know, in Georgia, this is the third election in a row that waited with those machines for a ruling on that case, where Crooked Brad Rasmussen, the Secretary of State, a Republican, the biggest uniparty blocker in history, keeps blocking down there and blocking and blocking.
00:41:14.000 And one of the things you said, I really believe when you say our country, when you talk about this division, this argument, I believe what's going on now is uniting the people.
00:41:23.000 I think that I really do.
00:41:25.000 I think it's uniting the people where we're going to get to a common place going, Hey, we want to have the American dream here.
00:41:31.000 We, you know, we want to, we want to live our freedoms.
00:41:34.000 We want to have, you know, it doesn't matter what party you're in, where you have the parties, the media will put this together that the, that there's arguments here.
00:41:41.000 And you, like you even said it best, you get less arguments now a year later or two years later at the dinner table where you have this divide.
00:41:49.000 It's the bad things going are actually uniting.
00:41:52.000 Well, I think this is true of the judicial systems in the US, right?
00:41:55.000 I think it's actually a very bipartisan feeling to think that you're going to go to court and if the judge decides they will rule against you, they could potentially make it extremely difficult for you, that the fees of fighting a lawsuit that maybe you really need to are so overwhelming that you could basically risk everything.
00:42:13.000 I mean, it's something that people of all political persuasions fear and we're seeing it play out over and over and over.
00:42:21.000 In all kinds of cases—businesses, political, personal—I mean, it is something that I think the media thought, oh, we'll scare people into believing that this is the way forward.
00:42:30.000 But actually what ended up happening is people are looking around going, this system is going to break me, and I cannot keep up with it.
00:42:37.000 You're exactly right.
00:42:38.000 And I think for where God has put me on this platform out there where, you know, I spent most of my time in the inner cities of Minneapolis back in the day.
00:42:47.000 You know, like I say, I never voted.
00:42:49.000 And so out there, when they see, you know, when I see people all over the country now, it's like, they don't come out to me, oh, you're a Donald Trump supporter.
00:42:57.000 No, they know that I'm out there.
00:42:59.000 You know, I didn't change.
00:43:00.000 I didn't change from where I was.
00:43:02.000 All of a sudden, I was the CEO of MyPillow.
00:43:05.000 I had an addiction network out there that's free.
00:43:07.000 I was put into this election platforms that I want to secure, because it all comes from there.
00:43:13.000 If you don't have fair elections, everything stems from Now you could say they stole an election.
00:43:17.000 I'm talking all elections, you know.
00:43:19.000 I've went around the world.
00:43:20.000 I've talked to France, Germany, UK, the Netherlands, all these places that have secure elections because they use paper ballots, hand counting.
00:43:29.000 Is it so bad that I voice my opinion?
00:43:31.000 That's what I want.
00:43:32.000 That's what we need.
00:43:33.000 And I can prove it.
00:43:34.000 I can prove that those are the best system.
00:43:37.000 All it took is one judge in Argentina last summer to say, you know what, We're going to go to paper ballots, Hancock.
00:43:43.000 They switched over in four months faster than the Netherlands did.
00:43:46.000 And they had their first fair and fair election they've had in years.
00:43:48.000 Taiwan did it.
00:43:49.000 Ecuador did it.
00:43:50.000 And these are things that I believe the public needs to see here because we have the worst election platform in the world.
00:43:56.000 We're worse than any other country.
00:43:57.000 Do you think that concerns about election security or election integrity are going to deter people from voting this year?
00:44:03.000 Do you think we'll have low or high voter turnout?
00:44:05.000 I think it's going to be the highest in history because it's flipped on that too.
00:44:09.000 People, people, I told this to Donald Trump too, I said, you know, I said, people are You know, you always say, hey, let's get everybody to get out and vote.
00:44:18.000 Now you're seeing, like, I'm from Minnesota.
00:44:20.000 It hasn't been read since 1972, okay?
00:44:22.000 We're the longest in the country.
00:44:26.000 And there, it's like, everybody's engaged to vote because they know, they believe that the system, that the elections are rigged, and that the elections, whether it be the machines, the early voting, the drop boxes, whatever you want to call it, and they believe that, hey, We've got one shot and we've got to completely override this and then we can fix the platform.
00:44:45.000 I'm out there fixing as much as I can.
00:44:47.000 We have over 250 counties that are now going to go to paper ballots hand-counted.
00:44:51.000 You can check that out at LyndalePlan.com.
00:44:53.000 I have over 300,000 people in all 50 states and we work from the county up.
00:44:59.000 Most counties can vote them out themselves and just go to paper.
00:45:02.000 I mean, it's so simple.
00:45:03.000 And, uh, but these people that, you know, they feel alone, a lot of them are scared because they've weaponized against them too.
00:45:10.000 And I will say they, and they go, well, who's behind this?
00:45:13.000 All I see in my biggest blockers are these uniparty Republicans.
00:45:16.000 And I'll give you a really good example in Arkansas.
00:45:19.000 This is a red state and you've got Cleburne County.
00:45:21.000 They voted in their own county to go to paper ballots.
00:45:25.000 And all these other counties were going to follow suit just a little over a year ago.
00:45:29.000 Well, this guy named Kim Hammers, he's a Republican, went to the Senate and shoved a bill through.
00:45:34.000 Here's the bill, how it reads.
00:45:35.000 If you go to paper ballots in Arkansas, we're defunding your county.
00:45:39.000 So right there, it's like racketeering going, hey, you either go, and what do you think Cleaborn County did?
00:45:44.000 They go, oh, we're sorry.
00:45:45.000 We even thought about it.
00:45:45.000 We're going to go back to the machines, you know.
00:45:47.000 Right, because whoever has the money is ultimately making the decisions.
00:45:50.000 That's what I find really interesting about all of this, which is that, you know, today's voters, especially young voters, if you're being told constantly, your vote doesn't matter because you're already in a state that's going to definitely go to whatever candidate or, you know, anything could happen with the ballots or whatever it is, like, it actually, my concern would be that it would deter people from participating in the system.
00:46:09.000 Normally it would.
00:46:10.000 Normally it would.
00:46:11.000 I'm from Minnesota.
00:46:11.000 I know.
00:46:12.000 Like, what good is it?
00:46:13.000 It's blue.
00:46:14.000 It's always going to be blue.
00:46:15.000 But here's another thing that's driving.
00:46:18.000 I believe this will be the biggest turnout in history for the whole country ever because of what's going on right now.
00:46:25.000 The destruction of our economy.
00:46:27.000 The things you listed up there, the number one was the economy, the border, the election platforms, those three things.
00:46:34.000 Well, you're still going to go vote because people know that everything comes from our election platforms.
00:46:40.000 You know, we got to use what we got.
00:46:42.000 However broken it is, we've got to use what we got.
00:46:45.000 And people say to me, No, no, finish, finish.
00:46:47.000 But people say to me, they go, because there's a big argument, oh, you go out there and be like the Democrats and vote early, and I'm going, rubbish, you know, that's me.
00:46:55.000 I'll say it straight out, you vote same day, I know from everything I do, you vote same day, you get out to vote.
00:47:01.000 Of course, if you can't vote early, but I tell people, take those mail-in votes they drop like Michigan, 7 million over the state, go, everybody just have at it, take your vote, your ballot that you got sent, Don't vote early and go in there election day and if they say, oh, you already voted, say, no, I haven't.
00:47:17.000 It's right here.
00:47:17.000 Wow.
00:47:18.000 And that is going to be a great plan.
00:47:19.000 And we, it is at least 10 times harder for them to sheet on election day.
00:47:24.000 And that's, that's coming for me.
00:47:26.000 I've spent more money and know more about that than these people out there that are saying that.
00:47:31.000 And I believe we're going to have the biggest vote ever.
00:47:33.000 Let's jump to this next story.
00:47:34.000 This is from the Daily Mail.
00:47:35.000 So this is not the first time we've heard this.
00:47:37.000 who correctly predicted the retail apocalypse issues another stark warning about the U.S.
00:47:43.000 economy.
00:47:44.000 It's ready to crack.
00:47:45.000 Bob Nardelli, a respected CEO, blames the Biden administration.
00:47:49.000 So this is not the first time we've heard this.
00:47:51.000 There are numerous stories right now where tons of economists, CEOs are saying the economy
00:47:58.000 is on the verge of shattering.
00:48:00.000 Quote, What I've seen over the past three and a half years is that a series of debacles and missteps have created a tremendous pressure on the fault lines of our economy, and they're about ready to crack.
00:48:10.000 Whoever gets the next stint in the White House is going to be hit with a wrecking ball in trying to correct the missteps and the overspending of this current administration.
00:48:18.000 So we're in for a rough time, I would say.
00:48:20.000 Mark that!
00:48:21.000 Take a note down, screenshot it, put it in your phone, because when Donald Trump wins and the economy is in shambles, they're going to blame Trump.
00:48:29.000 And then when things start getting better, they're going to say, oh, well, it's in spite of Trump.
00:48:34.000 But I'll tell you this right now.
00:48:36.000 can see it. We can see it in the sentiment on the internet.
00:48:41.000 You can see it in all of the comments that we get. And we can see it in ad sales. We
00:48:45.000 can see it in small businesses no longer buying as much in ads. I don't know, you guys
00:48:50.000 seem to be doing pretty well though.
00:48:52.000 You're on the rebound with those.
00:48:54.000 We are my pillow, but you realize with us, we're a little different.
00:48:57.000 It's every time you see a MyPillow ad, but if I only had to live on that, which times I only had to live on doing a little show.
00:49:03.000 So I want to make that as best as I can be, and it's tracked by a promo code and a 1-800 number, every one of them individually.
00:49:09.000 So if it doesn't make it, I don't run it.
00:49:11.000 So when you see a lot of ads we're doing, it's working.
00:49:15.000 I've seen it.
00:49:17.000 Are we back to where we were?
00:49:18.000 No.
00:49:19.000 And then part of that is the economy.
00:49:22.000 You know, I have to say, well, is it because of the attacks and everything we've had, or is it, you know, the economy?
00:49:28.000 The economy is definitely affecting.
00:49:30.000 I have another platform called mystore.com.
00:49:32.000 It's all entrepreneurs, USA-made products.
00:49:36.000 You know, I give them a safe haven.
00:49:38.000 All of them, without that, they were so hurting.
00:49:41.000 You know, they're hurting because of, like you say, shipping, everything else with this economy.
00:49:49.000 I think, you know, you read that up there that it's going to clack the economy.
00:49:52.000 I believe if Donald Trump, I'll say when he's in, just on the what everybody knows, because he's already been there, done that, and now it's going to be done.
00:50:04.000 Now what he's learned, it's going to even be better.
00:50:06.000 I think everything's going to just be almost faster than you could ever imagine, you know.
00:50:13.000 And I really believe that just on, um, you know, you see companies like when they do an IPO, just on the hope or whatever that, you know, because he's got something to back it up.
00:50:21.000 You know, proof of concept.
00:50:23.000 That's what he has.
00:50:23.000 He has proof of concept.
00:50:25.000 People are going to, they announced that Trump wins, say, what is it?
00:50:28.000 November 5th.
00:50:29.000 Is that election day?
00:50:30.000 They announced Donald Trump is the winner.
00:50:31.000 Let's say it's November 6th, two in the morning or whatever.
00:50:33.000 You're going to see the market first thing in the morning, go straight up.
00:50:36.000 Everyone's going to be buying.
00:50:37.000 In 16, it started going up about, you know, right when they figured he was going to win
00:50:42.000 and you could just see it moving.
00:50:44.000 And I didn't know anything about the stuff then.
00:50:46.000 And I asked a guy, I asked a friend of mine, I said, what does that mean?
00:50:49.000 He goes, it means Donald, somebody knows Donald Trump's going to win.
00:50:53.000 Yeah.
00:50:54.000 So Trump is securing the border.
00:50:58.000 Deportations, control of immigration is going to be better for the economy.
00:51:00.000 You get these leftists who are arguing that, no, no, the unfettered illegal immigration is good for the economy.
00:51:05.000 It's not.
00:51:06.000 It displaces low-skill labor.
00:51:08.000 It displaces the youth.
00:51:10.000 And so young people can't find work when they need it.
00:51:13.000 And they end up sitting around doing nothing, getting good at nothing.
00:51:16.000 And then by the time they're in their 20s, they're like, I don't know what to do.
00:51:17.000 Just like with the futures and the stock market that we were talking about.
00:51:21.000 When Donald Trump was elected last time, the business community was like, alright, this guy is friendly to business.
00:51:30.000 He understands how difficult it is to do business with all the regulations.
00:51:35.000 If you have him elected again, you're going to have the economy respond because the people that actually invest and actually build things are going to say, well, look, it will be a friendly business environment.
00:51:48.000 And signaling that to the economy is a big deal.
00:51:52.000 Like if you signal to the economy that it's going to be an unfriendly environment for people to invest, for people to try and build their business, they're not going to because the most important thing for most entrepreneurs is preserving capital.
00:52:04.000 Right, it makes me think of – because the Biden administration placed such a priority on all of the environmental policies, regardless of how they affected business, you'll see headlines that are like, you know, the last two coal mines in New England are shutting – or coal plants in New England are shutting down.
00:52:19.000 And they tout it as this victory, right?
00:52:21.000 No more coal, it's evil.
00:52:22.000 But they don't want to talk about the jobs that they cost.
00:52:25.000 They'll say, oh, well, anyone who loses a job because of this program, we're going to transition you into doing this new thing or whatever else.
00:52:30.000 But ultimately, they are pushing this environmentalist agenda at the cost of the economy.
00:52:36.000 Can you imagine being a business right now?
00:52:37.000 And all that is is a story.
00:52:40.000 All they have to do is be able to come up with a story.
00:52:42.000 Well, we'll go ahead and make sure people have jobs in this area.
00:52:46.000 People say, oh, OK, you have a plan.
00:52:49.000 Then it's fine.
00:52:50.000 Then it's solved.
00:52:51.000 But they don't think about the actual, real human beings that have to go through the changing of jobs.
00:52:59.000 It's not as easy as, oh, well, we'll just get rid of your jobs and we'll plug you into other places.
00:53:05.000 Human beings are not cogs that can just be placed in positions.
00:53:08.000 Well, especially if you were someone who had, like, worked in an industry for, you know, 20 years, right?
00:53:12.000 To be like, actually, now you have to be trained to work on EVs instead.
00:53:16.000 Like, what are you gonna do at that point?
00:53:18.000 The biggest displacement of jobs, you know, Tim, if you hit it there, is this.
00:53:23.000 When I was in Chicago, I'm doing this big program, Flipping Democrats, right?
00:53:26.000 I'm going to flip them to this bucket of common sense.
00:53:29.000 And I've talked to them all.
00:53:30.000 We had the room full.
00:53:32.000 By the time we left, I think all 500 were flipped.
00:53:35.000 There were a lot of Hispanics there.
00:53:37.000 Yep.
00:53:37.000 And all of them were very upset of the illegals coming in because they're losing their jobs to the illegals.
00:53:45.000 And I talked to that whole, I mean, one after another.
00:53:48.000 And then now you think of this, those illegals that are working,
00:53:51.000 you talk about money laundering, think of all the people that are hiring them
00:53:55.000 that are paying them cash and not paying their taxes on both ways.
00:53:59.000 They're probably undercutting them in a wage anyway because they can save a boy.
00:54:04.000 So I got a legitimate business with legitimate workers and the next door they got the illegal ones.
00:54:11.000 And of course, their labor's cheaper, everything's cheaper.
00:54:14.000 And then I'm suffering here.
00:54:15.000 And then pretty soon, this guy might make a bad decision.
00:54:18.000 Well, I gotta join and do the illegals too.
00:54:20.000 And these guys are losing their jobs to this invasion.
00:54:25.000 People need to understand that you pay, I think 7.5 as a worker,
00:54:31.000 and the business pays 7.5% employment tax.
00:54:34.000 So if a guy comes in and he's like, look, I just need 20 bucks an hour,
00:54:40.000 You go, okay, so after taxes, you're gonna take home what, 15?
00:54:44.000 $15 or $13 or whatever?
00:54:46.000 Then I got to pay on top, so my total cost is going to be $20.
00:54:49.000 Not interested.
00:54:50.000 Then an illegal immigrant comes in and he says, I also need $20 an hour.
00:54:53.000 And you go, you know, it's going to cost me $24 an hour to hire that other guy.
00:54:59.000 It's going to cost me $20 an hour to hire you.
00:55:01.000 And you actually keep more of it.
00:55:03.000 I'll tell you what, I'll give you $18 an hour.
00:55:04.000 You're not paying taxes anyway.
00:55:06.000 Saves me $6.
00:55:07.000 And you're making more.
00:55:08.000 And that's how they run it.
00:55:10.000 That's exactly right, and that's why I believe, I believe that's why they didn't make all the illegals legal when they had everything before, when the Democrats did, because I believe that there's all this big money in California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado now, and Minnesota, where they're paying all these illegals cash, and they're not paying federal taxes.
00:55:31.000 The business owners aren't.
00:55:33.000 Those are billions of dollars.
00:55:34.000 That's big money.
00:55:35.000 Now this is why they're going to.
00:55:37.000 Two big reasons why Democrats are going to give amnesty.
00:55:40.000 The first is they want the votes.
00:55:42.000 The second is they want the tax revenue to maintain the Social Security Administration.
00:55:47.000 The concern is that by 2033 the system starts buckling and breaking and then by 2037 it's gone.
00:55:53.000 So they bring in 15 million people over the course of a couple years, then overnight they get 15 million new voters, they bolster their majorities in Congress, and they can now target these people with 87,000 new IRS agents to put money into Social Security to prop the system back up.
00:56:11.000 Good point.
00:56:11.000 Yep.
00:56:12.000 Very good point.
00:56:13.000 That's what they're building.
00:56:14.000 And then good luck winning elections ever again when they keep flooding the country and providing amnesty.
00:56:19.000 We get one shot at this as far as I'm concerned.
00:56:21.000 We get one shot.
00:56:22.000 And one of the things at the rally I was just at that I spoke at and Donald Trump said, when he says, as soon as I'm in office, and he was naming the things that we addressing all those top three, the third one, he said, and I'm going to secure our elections.
00:56:39.000 And the crowd went crazy!
00:56:41.000 So it is, those three things, you talk about the economy, the border, and our election platform.
00:56:46.000 You secure those three, and I believe we can preserve the American dream.
00:56:51.000 I want to tell a quick story.
00:56:53.000 You know, when you tell how people have changed.
00:56:55.000 I was in California.
00:56:57.000 This was a couple years ago.
00:56:58.000 In California, there's a thing all over the internet when I was there.
00:57:02.000 And this town was so depressed.
00:57:04.000 The gas was $7.80 a gallon.
00:57:06.000 Everyone there was 25 to 30 years old, I swear.
00:57:09.000 And that's where all the old vehicles were.
00:57:10.000 I wonder where all the old vehicles went, right?
00:57:12.000 And the town seemed so depressed.
00:57:15.000 But they're all coming up to me and talking to me and going, hey, Mike Lindell!
00:57:18.000 Mike Lindell!
00:57:18.000 And they're pitching stuff and I'm talking to them.
00:57:21.000 All of them had voted Democrat, and they're going, you guys realize, I said, I don't know much about politics, but I said, this is $7.80 gas, and decisions that were made by Donald Trump manifested to good for everybody, right?
00:57:34.000 And they, so anyway, I had to educate them.
00:57:36.000 Well, I went and ate at this restaurant, and this gal came out, the manager came out, and they took a picture, and they put it up on their social media, the owner did.
00:57:43.000 Well, they got attacked by the media.
00:57:45.000 It was like the number one story in the United States.
00:57:47.000 Mike Lindell goes to this town and they just attack this owner and she wouldn't take this down.
00:57:51.000 She says, you know, all you take your other famous people come here and you don't, you put, you don't put them up.
00:57:56.000 She goes, no, Mike's the only one that's ever come here.
00:57:58.000 Well, she stood her ground and they were the busiest restaurant now in that California town.
00:58:03.000 But my point being, we left there then, so I seen that, and we went to the hurricanes in Florida.
00:58:09.000 And I went there, and normally you'd see it all over the news.
00:58:11.000 MyPillow donates $80 million, or 80 million pillows to, or 80,000 pillows to Hurricane Harvey, Katrina, whatever they were, you know.
00:58:20.000 But this time I didn't say anything.
00:58:21.000 I never did in the first place.
00:58:22.000 I'm down there working with Samaritansburg, and we were in a Hispanic trailer court.
00:58:27.000 And all you could see was their whirly possessions on both sides of these dirt roads, all the way down.
00:58:32.000 It was like two dykes of just all their physical possession.
00:58:35.000 And we were praying with them.
00:58:37.000 We had interpreters.
00:58:38.000 We're giving them pillows and blankets, but almost bar none, they were coming up and they're going, All they wanted to hear about is if our country had a chance to have the American Dream, which I've lived on steroids going from where I have to crack head, but they have too.
00:58:51.000 They came from places, came from the bottom, and they had built up their lives.
00:58:55.000 They knew if we could save our country...
00:58:59.000 That they could get those worldly possessions back.
00:59:01.000 The only thing they cared about was losing our country, that they came in here legally and live here now, because a lot of them have been to places that don't have our freedoms.
00:59:11.000 That meant so much to me, and I think that's what you're seeing all around, is people are looking for hope.
00:59:19.000 And it doesn't matter what party you're in.
00:59:20.000 Well, that's why I like the story that you're telling about this restaurant in California, which is like people can supply each other hope.
00:59:26.000 They don't have to look to the government or politicians all the time.
00:59:28.000 Like the fact that this woman is being attacked, people are like, no, we're going to go to your restaurant.
00:59:31.000 You do see that on occasion where people will say like, the way you're being treated is wrong and I'm going to stand up in the way I can.
00:59:37.000 Maybe you don't have a media platform, maybe you just patron their business.
00:59:40.000 I think that's the thing that Americans are really craving right now, sort of amidst all the stress and bombardment of, you know, all of these negative headlines, people want to believe that things can get better.
00:59:51.000 And I think this has been the interesting thing of contrasting the Biden campaign's messaging with the Trump campaign's messaging, which is the Biden administration will say, well, we're the party of hope and we're a party of the future.
01:00:03.000 He said that at one of his rallies and then only talked about January 6th in the past.
01:00:07.000 And Trump really does feel like he is saying, like, things are rough right now, but we're headed towards better waters.
01:00:15.000 And I think people need that message, because otherwise it just makes you disenfranchised.
01:00:19.000 Absolutely.
01:00:19.000 You need hope.
01:00:20.000 You know, my network, and I'll say it at frankspeech.com, that's all I do is put out the hope every day, the things we're doing, being proactive.
01:00:29.000 And being proactive out there and where the hope is, I tell people, quit watching, you know, If I see people depressed out there, I'd say, I watch Fox day in and day out.
01:00:43.000 Well, they're not gonna tell you the hope.
01:00:45.000 It's mostly depressing.
01:00:46.000 Here's what's going on that's bad, that's bad.
01:00:48.000 And I like to tell people, here's where we have the hope here.
01:00:52.000 Here's what's going on here.
01:00:54.000 And you combine what's going on right now that's so sad is with the open borders and the fentanyl pouring in, people that are losing hope are turning to addiction or addicts are getting worse.
01:01:05.000 And that's deadly.
01:01:06.000 And so that's where, you know, I'll go around the country and that's where, you know, I have the LyndaleRecoveryNetwork.org is free.
01:01:14.000 I built it.
01:01:14.000 I put millions into it before all this election stuff.
01:01:17.000 That's what I was going to do, go out and evangelize and say, hey, there's a better way than an attic.
01:01:23.000 I always say, you wake up, And with the same problem that you went to bed with, right?
01:01:28.000 No matter how long you stay up.
01:01:29.000 I used to stay up for days smoking crack and everything.
01:01:31.000 Wake up, had the same problem.
01:01:33.000 You need a different input to get a different output, you know?
01:01:36.000 I got a question for you.
01:01:38.000 I got a personal question for you.
01:01:41.000 Was your pre-election, pre-2020 net worth public information?
01:01:48.000 It was, but I was pretty open with it.
01:01:50.000 You know, it was $200, $300 million is what I think was out there.
01:01:55.000 Well, my question was, how much did you end up losing for trying to do your civic duty?
01:01:59.000 Pretty much everything.
01:02:00.000 I spent $40 million that I had in cash on securing our election platform.
01:02:06.000 That's not the lawsuits.
01:02:07.000 That's just pouring money into You know, everywhere to try and get to paper ballots and this fight to secure elections.
01:02:14.000 And then the attack on MyPillow alone, we lost $150 million in box stores in a month and a half.
01:02:21.000 And we were their number one product in every box store in this country.
01:02:25.000 Everyone we had from Walmart to Costco to QVC, it's a shopping channel, the shopping channel,
01:02:32.000 Bed Bath & Beyond Kohl's, we're their number one buy-through product.
01:02:35.000 And Walmart, in history of Walmart, the number one $50 buy-through was MyPillow,
01:02:40.000 not anything else.
01:02:42.000 And so it's not like they said, hey, your products aren't selling.
01:02:44.000 They canceled us.
01:02:45.000 And they were afraid of social media.
01:02:47.000 When they went after them, they thought those were real people.
01:02:51.000 These were a paid hit job on MyPillow.
01:02:53.000 And I told those CEOs and CMOs back in January of 21, I said, you're making a big mistake.
01:02:59.000 Like I talked to Bed Bath & Beyond, their CMO, I said, you guys, those aren't real people.
01:03:03.000 The real people are gonna be very upset if you do this.
01:03:05.000 But I wouldn't shut up on TV.
01:03:06.000 When I got attacked, I'm going, did you hear about our elections?
01:03:09.000 Yeah, I know I got cancelled.
01:03:10.000 I know I got cancelled.
01:03:11.000 Heck, I cancelled my Twitter and Newsmax, the guy tears his microphone off because I started telling about why I got cancelled.
01:03:18.000 But it was millions of dollars and we're not getting them back.
01:03:23.000 There are a lot of people that, man, they can't go vote.
01:03:28.000 They just can't be bothered to take a day to get up Walk over and go vote, and you were willing to sacrifice hundreds of millions of dollars in a desperate plea to the people to have secure elections.
01:03:40.000 It's remarkable.
01:03:40.000 I appreciate your willingness.
01:03:42.000 Well, thank you.
01:03:42.000 And you know why?
01:03:43.000 It's because I learned how important they are.
01:03:46.000 You know, like I said, I told you, when I met Donald Trump in the summer of 69, I didn't know a liberal from a conservative.
01:03:52.000 I didn't know what a Democrat Republican was, if you go back to 15.
01:03:55.000 I was just so, you know, Out there, I was busy with my own stuff, my own life, but I learned pretty quick how important politics were, and everything we're in.
01:04:08.000 One of the things with Donald Trump, they had an opiate bill that came out, and this was right up my alley with trying to help addicts out there and lead them to God.
01:04:16.000 and to Jesus, and this is what I was out evangelizing and stuff, but he invited me to the opiate bill
01:04:23.000 because in our country, 32 states have laws on the books, this is pretty crazy, that you can't treat an addict
01:04:32.000 unless you have four years of college, you swim the English Channel, climb three trees,
01:04:37.000 all these rules to treat an addict.
01:04:39.000 Well, I'll tell you what, you've got places like Teen Challenge and Salvation Army.
01:04:44.000 You know who's there that's treating them or counseling them?
01:04:48.000 It's people that have been there.
01:04:50.000 Well, we're an addict.
01:04:51.000 I've been to so many treatment centers back in the day that we did in the 80s.
01:04:54.000 You go get a DWI, you go to treatment, get your license back, or gambling, whatever it was, and we would go through the motions, and addicts have forgotten more about addiction than these counselors know, and they're looking for hope, and that's why my network, the Lindell Recovery Network, that's hope, and it's free.
01:05:12.000 Matthew Perry, the actor from Friends, he said during when he was filming that show he'd struggled with addiction and went out and started addiction recovery centers or rehabs.
01:05:20.000 I think probably similar reasonings, right?
01:05:22.000 Like if you have lost everything because of addiction, you might even feel more called to intervene in someone else's life and say, You know, we need to get you on a different track.
01:05:31.000 Right, you've been there, and what I do at my network, you'll get to the website, you'll put down your age and your drug of choice.
01:05:39.000 So the commonality of the drug, the big thing in secular treatment centers, they have like a 5% success rate.
01:05:46.000 The God-based, the faith-based ones, 80% and up.
01:05:49.000 So what Donald Trump did with that opiate bill, when he did that opiate bill, everyone was arguing, fighting over this money, right?
01:05:56.000 And he came up with a plan, a common sense solution.
01:05:59.000 He says, you know what?
01:06:00.000 I don't care what your curriculum is or what you have to do, but you need to show a 50% or more success rate.
01:06:09.000 And they better do it, right?
01:06:10.000 So what a great thing that he put in place there.
01:06:13.000 Let's give the money to the things that are working, right?
01:06:16.000 And that was a common sense solution.
01:06:18.000 It's prioritizing effectiveness instead of being like, well, everyone needs the money.
01:06:20.000 But my point for him is to dig in, even on something like that.
01:06:23.000 These are big things that affect people's lives.
01:06:26.000 And I've seen how politics are decisions made.
01:06:29.000 I don't call it politics.
01:06:30.000 The people that are in charge, the decisions they make affect everything we do.
01:06:35.000 Where before, I lived a life going, I can ignore that.
01:06:38.000 I was from Minnesota.
01:06:39.000 You know my biggest thing in politics ever?
01:06:40.000 When Jesse Ventura ran, I kind of watched the TV and go, wow, that's interesting.
01:06:45.000 I didn't know it, but I thought it was pretty cool.
01:06:48.000 It was interesting.
01:06:48.000 It was something different, right?
01:06:51.000 Let's jump to the story from the New York Times.
01:06:54.000 BuzzFeed clashes with Vivek Ramaswamy, the former GOP presidential candidate, who has invested in BuzzFeed, believes the company needs to pivot.
01:07:01.000 He wants to see commentators like Tucker Carlson in its lineup.
01:07:05.000 Shout out to Vivek on one of the ballsiest moves I have seen.
01:07:10.000 This is how you do it.
01:07:12.000 I don't know if Vivek is sitting there watching Elon Musk being like, I'm jealous.
01:07:16.000 He buys Twitter, turns it into X, brings a bunch of accounts back.
01:07:20.000 Vivek buys, what does he got, like 8.3% of BuzzFeed.
01:07:25.000 Sent a letter to the company's board of directors saying they've got to change their business practices and journalistic efforts.
01:07:31.000 They say though he has been steadily buying up stock for months, his intentions for the company didn't become clear until this week.
01:07:36.000 Before his brief run for president, he made a fortune in the pharmaceutical business.
01:07:39.000 He's pushing BuzzFeed to add three new members to its board to hone its focus on audio and video content and embrace greater diversity of thought.
01:07:47.000 Yeah, I gotta be honest.
01:07:50.000 If BuzzFeed brought on Tucker Carlson, their market value would go tenfold.
01:07:55.000 Oh, absolutely.
01:07:56.000 Bang.
01:07:57.000 I don't know they can afford Tucker Carlson.
01:07:59.000 They've got to pay him a lot of money.
01:08:01.000 But think throughout also Aaron Rodgers and Candace Owens, right?
01:08:04.000 Like what he's saying is you guys had this old model and you had some success but it's all falling apart now and you need to adopt a strategy.
01:08:12.000 And I'm here to say – like, one of the lines in his letter that he wrote to them was, you know, I know you're going to instinctively reject what I'm saying because of partisan attitudes, but I think you should try and think about what I'm saying and the fact that 150 million Americans tend to look at the world the way I do.
01:08:29.000 Like, if you really want to be a sustainable business, you can't be siloed in one opinion.
01:08:33.000 And I found that really fascinating.
01:08:34.000 And I think, you know, the fact that he has a business background and seeing him sort of see this opportunity is fascinating.
01:08:41.000 Partially because this was like a stealth plan.
01:08:43.000 He started buying these in January, right?
01:08:45.000 And he basically acquired, you know, somewhere over three million shares.
01:08:49.000 Just really quietly, he did this.
01:08:51.000 Like, we were covered at Scanner last week.
01:08:53.000 I think it was May 22nd.
01:08:54.000 He had 7.7% of the company.
01:08:56.000 And since then, he's gone up above eight.
01:08:58.000 And his message was basically, I'm going to continue doing this, moving up his importance among the shareholders and saying, you could turn this around, but you have to do it this way.
01:09:07.000 And I find this fascinating.
01:09:08.000 Well, it's good.
01:09:09.000 It's a good business decisions.
01:09:10.000 You know, I have FrankSpeech.com.
01:09:12.000 We're on everything, Roku, everything now, but we add people.
01:09:15.000 I had Lou Dobbs to our lineup in January.
01:09:17.000 You're adding and getting the word out is, you know, to me for right now, I think the biggest thing that has changed in our country that's helped is, and I bring this up all the time, and this is our voice.
01:09:30.000 I tell people January 7th and 8th of 2021 were two of the most important dates in history.
01:09:36.000 Now, I don't know how long you've had this podcast, but I'm going to tell you why.
01:09:39.000 On those two days, 1.2 million Americans were deplatformed, whether you were on Vimeo, YouTube,
01:09:45.000 Suckabucks Facebook, Twitter, Donald Trump lost his 100 million on Twitter and all this.
01:09:51.000 Everybody was silenced that had spoke out about anything to do with the elections or
01:09:56.000 for that matter vaccines, anything, anything they spoke out about that they decided to
01:10:00.000 silence them.
01:10:01.000 But the other one, everyone else was in fear because of January 6th.
01:10:05.000 So at that point, no one's going to talk about anything.
01:10:08.000 The media, they had silenced us.
01:10:10.000 Kind of like Nazi Germany.
01:10:13.000 So I always compare it when I was growing up to a little black and white TV.
01:10:16.000 We'd turn it off and it'd go down to a little tiny dot.
01:10:20.000 And we as kids would turn it back on and the black and white TV would come back to life.
01:10:24.000 See who could get it the smallest.
01:10:25.000 That voice was our dot that day.
01:10:27.000 And like Ronald Reagan said, if we're like a beacon of light on a hill, if the lights go out here, they go out everywhere.
01:10:32.000 That's the day when we got past those two days where that voice did not go out.
01:10:39.000 And since that time, we've grown all these other media platforms like this.
01:10:43.000 Podcasts have grown.
01:10:44.000 Everything's growing.
01:10:45.000 So we're not getting our information from one source anymore.
01:10:49.000 It's so diversified.
01:10:50.000 You don't have just two social media platforms.
01:10:53.000 You have a dozen.
01:10:54.000 You know what I mean?
01:10:55.000 BuzzFeed's market cap right now is around $120 million.
01:10:58.000 Donald Trump just got, didn't he just earn some 1 point something billion dollar bonus from Truth Social?
01:11:04.000 Trump could sell like 3% of his truth shares and buy all.
01:11:11.000 Of BuzzFeed.
01:11:12.000 Right.
01:11:13.000 So let's say he doesn't do that.
01:11:14.000 Let's say he sells, you know, half a percent and then just buys a controlling stake of BuzzFeed.
01:11:19.000 Right.
01:11:19.000 Let's roll.
01:11:21.000 What's he got going on?
01:11:22.000 Well, the CEO responded to this letter from Vivek basically being like, you don't understand our market.
01:11:28.000 You misunderstood.
01:11:29.000 But as a shareholder, I welcome your feedback.
01:11:31.000 And I think that's actually, you know, so BuzzFeed has had a ton of problems.
01:11:34.000 I mean, we've talked about on the show, they've had layoffs, they had to close BuzzFeed News.
01:11:38.000 But I think his name's Jonah Peretti.
01:11:41.000 And I think he is kind of becoming the obstacle, right?
01:11:45.000 Like any company is – they're responsive to the board and the shareholders, but if their CEO is like, no, we're doing fine, it's going to need a change in leadership to embrace any kind of new idea.
01:11:55.000 All that matters is that Vivek keeps buying up more and more.
01:12:01.000 I think this works out in favor for Vivek.
01:12:03.000 When Vivek comes in and says, you guys are failing, you've got massive debt, you're hyper-partisan, you went from a billion dollar valuation down to less than 10% of your valuation, the CEO coming out and saying, nah, we're good, stock price going to go down further.
01:12:18.000 That's right.
01:12:19.000 I don't care if it's if it's a vague buying buying the you know with a hostile takeover
01:12:24.000 or if it's Elon Musk law-faring media matters or if it's Peter Thiel going after what was
01:12:33.000 it who did Peter Thiel because of the Hulk Hogan Gawker Gawker yeah taking them out the
01:12:39.000 Hulk Hogan yeah I don't I don't think this is a bad thing at all if you've got media
01:12:44.000 companies or whatever that are targeting individuals that are going after people and you know
01:12:49.000 messing up their lives for in a you know essentially just so they can get a story
01:12:55.000 story.
01:12:56.000 Sometimes it's political, sometimes it's not.
01:12:58.000 But for the most part, it's just to get a story.
01:13:00.000 I mean, look, someone might come after you and mess up your business as well.
01:13:06.000 That's the way that it goes.
01:13:07.000 I don't see any kind of problem with it.
01:13:10.000 No, I think it's fascinating.
01:13:11.000 And again, like, I think because Vivek had such a meteoric rise during the Republican primaries, I think the question was, well, what's next for him?
01:13:20.000 And it is interesting to see someone who has been really successful in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, you know, involved in drug tech research, kind of pivot to being like, well, I can see that you were successful at one point, and I think I know where you're going wrong.
01:13:35.000 And to sort of put this challenge out there to Right.
01:13:39.000 Right.
01:13:39.000 a company, right? Like, is BuzzFeed really trying to stay afloat or are the politics
01:13:45.000 the most important thing to them?
01:13:47.000 I actually was kind of surprised to see that BuzzFeed still existed, to be completely honest.
01:13:52.000 When I heard the story that Vivek was buying out, I was like, really? Because I know BuzzFeed
01:13:56.000 news...
01:13:57.000 I think you're going to see a lot of shift in where you thought, like we thought, all
01:14:00.000 these outlets that did destroy themselves, basically, that they're, you know, they're
01:14:05.000 going to be taken and they're going to have to change or they will go out and they will
01:14:11.000 Look at this, number one trending story on BuzzFeed right now, 24 celebrities who are 100% all in for Donald Trump 2024.
01:14:20.000 Wow.
01:14:21.000 It changes as soon as you click on the headline.
01:14:22.000 24 somethings you might not know are big Trump supporters.
01:14:24.000 That's not even a bad one.
01:14:26.000 It seems like, and there's nothing negative here, it's just showing them.
01:14:29.000 It seems like they may be listening to the vape.
01:14:33.000 I gotta be honest, I bet other shareholders are probably saying, Jonah, he ain't wrong.
01:14:39.000 Look at the meteoric rise of all of these podcasts and how well they're doing.
01:14:45.000 There's money here you're not tapping into.
01:14:48.000 And so, you know, sooner or later, Peretti's gonna go to his executive editor or editor-in-chief and say, guys, we need more pro-Trump content.
01:14:54.000 You'd think that they'd look at Joe Rogan and be like, we could do that.
01:15:00.000 Yeah.
01:15:01.000 It's not that Joe's got a great thing going on and his personality is a huge part of why he's he's so successful.
01:15:07.000 But also his his recipe is not particularly complex.
01:15:13.000 Have a conversation and listen to the person that you're sitting down talking to and don't misrepresent what they say.
01:15:19.000 Right.
01:15:20.000 I mean, look, famously, at least for me, BuzzFeed was known for its quizzes, right?
01:15:25.000 Where it would have these ridiculous quizzes, you know, tell me what your Taco Bell order is and I'll tell you, you know, your dream mansion.
01:15:31.000 You never should have done it.
01:15:32.000 I think, honestly, they could lean into this in a soft way and be like, here's a quiz where we'll tell you what Donald Trump meme you are.
01:15:38.000 you know, whatever. Like it doesn't have to be like they become 100% go hard for the MAGA movement.
01:15:44.000 I understand that, right? But if you're trying to capture more people, you have to present more
01:15:49.000 than just this one side is dumb and bad and here's how we're going to talk about it all the time.
01:15:53.000 Why would anyone go there? On top of the fact that especially, you know, a lot of their media
01:15:57.000 ended up being just kind of repetitive. You can't bring in new innovative creators, like people
01:16:02.000 writing the articles or making the quizzes or doing whatever, if you're only siloed in one
01:16:06.000 area of opinion. You're not going to bring in new talent by being like, but we only talk about
01:16:10.000 things this way. The list is pretty obvious.
01:16:14.000 It's people you probably knew about.
01:16:15.000 But I did not know that the Naked Cowboy of Times Square was a Trump supporter.
01:16:20.000 That's a twist.
01:16:21.000 Are you familiar with the Naked Cowboy?
01:16:23.000 Good for him.
01:16:24.000 I didn't know he was.
01:16:26.000 I know who he is.
01:16:27.000 You've heard of him, right?
01:16:27.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.
01:16:28.000 It's funny.
01:16:29.000 He's been going on, what, 20 years?
01:16:31.000 How long has he been in Times Square?
01:16:32.000 It's been a long time.
01:16:33.000 Yeah, that's wild.
01:16:34.000 Kelsey Grahamer, a Trump supporter.
01:16:35.000 I didn't know that.
01:16:37.000 Yeah, that doesn't shock me.
01:16:38.000 Yeah, they're all old people, though.
01:16:40.000 Old white dudes.
01:16:41.000 No, actually, and it's like young rappers.
01:16:43.000 Right.
01:16:43.000 No, for real.
01:16:44.000 I love that Trump is a thing those two groups have in common.
01:16:48.000 That's hilarious.
01:16:50.000 You know, look, I was telling this to the libertarians.
01:16:54.000 The libertarian parties, unfortunately, like a lot of them, they're the people that pay attention.
01:17:00.000 And regular people mostly don't pay attention.
01:17:03.000 So for people who are hyper-plugged into the news and they want the most esoteric policies, They're going to be finding themselves with the Libertarian Party.
01:17:11.000 The realists, who are not revolutionaries who pay attention to the news, are going to find themselves supporting Donald Trump.
01:17:16.000 And the people who only listen to MSNBC and other regurgitated corporate garbage are going to be crying because Donald Trump is a fascist and they need Joe Biden to save them.
01:17:26.000 That's where we're currently at in this country.
01:17:28.000 That's right.
01:17:30.000 I think what we see with this Trump trial is the Democrats and the judge basically hoping that their voter base and what they're trying to do is they know we know.
01:17:43.000 But they're hoping the people who don't pay attention are just going to go, whoa.
01:17:46.000 Crazy.
01:17:47.000 Well, this is why I think it's too late for them because, like I say, in the last three years, people are getting their news, it's so diversified now.
01:17:56.000 They're not getting, like you're saying, you're staring at MSNBC and CNN hypnotized.
01:18:01.000 I know this from my own family members.
01:18:03.000 It's took a long time for my extended family to know where these guys have come at least to the middle and going because they quit watching those and they're they're doing just social media, but it's even changing there on social media.
01:18:15.000 I watched up.
01:18:16.000 I watched a little a troll fight.
01:18:18.000 Okay.
01:18:19.000 I always watch that.
01:18:20.000 I'll watch these bots and trolls fighting real people, right?
01:18:23.000 And they're arguing with them, and they're overwhelming them, the trolls and bots.
01:18:26.000 A few years ago, it wasn't like that.
01:18:28.000 You really, and people don't realize, all you gotta do is click on the bot, you see they have two circles going.
01:18:32.000 They have no friends, right?
01:18:33.000 Two friends, and they're in, but they'll sit there, and that has even changed.
01:18:37.000 You look at any feed, And you'll have real people here, even on a very left feed, you know, and there'll be this feed, and you'll see all these people there, and you'll have people there that have crossed over the common sense.
01:18:51.000 You can see that they used to, and now they're arguing on there, where before they're either sitting back and taking all this attacks, but now they're sticking up, and it's almost, you know, they're overriding the computer bots, you know.
01:19:03.000 Yeah, a lot of people, like on Axe, people have complained quite a bit.
01:19:07.000 They're like, my engagement is way down!
01:19:08.000 And I'm like, cause he get rid of the bots.
01:19:11.000 So a lot of the engagement is like a raw number, like percentage of people who viewed your tweet or liked it or not even, it's not even about whether they like it or not or comment.
01:19:19.000 Right.
01:19:19.000 It's that.
01:19:21.000 The government, corporations, foreign adversaries, they're running bots on X. And X probably loved it because they were like, it inflates our advertiser numbers.
01:19:30.000 Who cares?
01:19:31.000 Elon says we're getting rid of all of it.
01:19:34.000 And now you're starting to see the actual human interaction.
01:19:37.000 Yep, you're 100% right.
01:19:39.000 I used to advertise, you know, everywhere and on that platform.
01:19:43.000 Twitter was my worst platform, and I'm going, how can this viewership be this high?
01:19:48.000 Because of the electronic or the bots?
01:19:51.000 I mean, when my book came out, even though it was banned everywhere, you know, right when all the box stores did it, you know, I pre-printed 3 million copies.
01:19:51.000 100%.
01:19:58.000 And all of a sudden, they're going, no, no, we can't have that here.
01:20:00.000 But I put it up on Twitter and put it all the other places.
01:20:04.000 And you would think that would get the most buys and most views.
01:20:07.000 It got most views, but it was bots.
01:20:09.000 Yep.
01:20:09.000 And everywhere else I'm going, that doesn't make sense.
01:20:12.000 I'm a numbers guy.
01:20:13.000 They're defrauding you.
01:20:14.000 Yeah, they're defrauding me.
01:20:16.000 I should sue them.
01:20:17.000 This is a big deal.
01:20:18.000 I'm paying money for advertising and they, you know, it's like going to a carnival.
01:20:23.000 You got a hundred fish in a pond and I charge you $10, but I only give you bait that only 10 can bite on.
01:20:30.000 Because the other 90% aren't real.
01:20:33.000 Yep.
01:20:33.000 They throw a bunch of fake fish in the pond and say, yeah, you can go fish there.
01:20:36.000 Fish away.
01:20:36.000 There you go.
01:20:37.000 Look, they're everywhere.
01:20:38.000 And they know the views are fake.
01:20:40.000 They know the bots are on the account.
01:20:41.000 And this has been going on for, I mean, as long as it's been around, it's gotten worse and worse and worse.
01:20:46.000 Elon's cleaning the problem up.
01:20:47.000 Yep, he is, he really is.
01:20:49.000 Yep, so people need to understand, they're complaining about their viewership going down,
01:20:53.000 but your engagements are real people now.
01:20:55.000 They've got the blue check on them.
01:20:56.000 You know what my favorite thing about this was?
01:20:58.000 When Elon was talking about buying the platform and then charging money, I said this is the
01:21:02.000 smartest thing in the world because it means that if the deep state wants to run sock puppet
01:21:06.000 accounts, they've got to pay Elon to do it.
01:21:09.000 Elon's a businessman, right?
01:21:12.000 He looks at X and he's like, he goes to his friends and you know, like, what is it?
01:21:17.000 Gigafund or whatever, the investment company that works with them.
01:21:20.000 And he's like, so you mean to tell me that the deep state is running millions of fake accounts for free?
01:21:27.000 And they're like, so if I buy the platform and then charge them $5, I'll just make $100 million per month?
01:21:35.000 It's like, if they pay it, okay, let's buy it, let's do it.
01:21:38.000 It's a deep state weapon they use to manipulate public opinion.
01:21:42.000 Elon bought it.
01:21:43.000 They freak out and he's like, yeah, you gotta pay now.
01:21:45.000 Right.
01:21:46.000 And then they don't.
01:21:47.000 So here you go.
01:21:48.000 Right.
01:21:49.000 Check out this story.
01:21:50.000 Let's jump to the story.
01:21:51.000 The Guardian reports Trump reportedly considers White House advisory role for Elon Musk.
01:21:56.000 Let's go!
01:21:57.000 The Wall Street Journal reports the pair have had several phone calls recently and that Musk could assist if Trump wins another term.
01:22:04.000 You'll love to see it.
01:22:05.000 They said the two men who once had a tense relationship have had several phone calls a month.
01:22:12.000 Since March, as Trump looks to court powerful donors.
01:22:14.000 Musk and Trump connected in March at the estate of billionaire Nelson Peltz.
01:22:18.000 Since then, the two have discussed various policy issues, including immigration, which Musk has become vocal about in recent months.
01:22:24.000 America will fall if it tries to absorb the world, Musk tweeted.
01:22:28.000 So Elon was apparently on some advisory board in the first term, right?
01:22:32.000 And then ended up leaving or something?
01:22:34.000 I think Elon took a red pill.
01:22:37.000 I think he started to see more and more of what was going on.
01:22:40.000 He started to realize more and more of what he was being lied to about when they started attacking him.
01:22:44.000 You know what it was for Elon, probably?
01:22:47.000 Tesla, this amazing electric car manufacturer, should be cherished by all of these eco-nuts, and they kept attacking him.
01:22:55.000 And then Biden comes out and says all of these great things about these other companies, but not Elon, and he's like, whoa, hold on.
01:22:59.000 He's like, I'm making electric cars, we're number one, why am I not included in any of this?
01:23:05.000 And then he realized it's because it's not actually about what they're saying it's about.
01:23:09.000 And then one step at a time, he starts to realize what's going on.
01:23:12.000 He buys, he wants to buy X by Twitter.
01:23:14.000 They attack him.
01:23:16.000 And now he's just, well, he's at the highest level of your eyes getting open.
01:23:20.000 If you take, if you take everyone in these last three years, the 2020 election to me will be the most important election in history for what it's done.
01:23:28.000 The last three years has opened people's eyes.
01:23:30.000 And I'm talking all the, you know, and there's the highest level you can say, Elon Musk, his eyes got open.
01:23:35.000 I mean, he's got blinders on.
01:23:37.000 I think everybody was shocked when he, by his Twitter, goes, wow!
01:23:40.000 We have, you know, I got my Twitter back.
01:23:42.000 I'm going, you're kidding.
01:23:42.000 And all my people are still there.
01:23:44.000 Yeah.
01:23:44.000 I was blown away.
01:23:45.000 I'd be going, you know, it brought back my pillows, Twitter, you know, that, that one that got banned.
01:23:50.000 That was the first, when he, when, in Twitter, you know, I always tell people this story.
01:23:55.000 When I got out of the news, because I kept trying to raise my hand, going, hey, you know, our country, this has happened with our election platforms and all this.
01:24:03.000 And when they banned me on Twitter, my personal Twitter, that was done earlier in January.
01:24:07.000 Well, all of a sudden the media wouldn't attack me anymore, so it went silent.
01:24:11.000 So I'm going, well, what's going to make the news now?
01:24:13.000 I know, what if I lose my pillows Twitter?
01:24:15.000 So I really, I sat up, it was 12, I'll never forget, it was 12 o'clock midnight.
01:24:19.000 I'm sitting there, I go, okay, I'm going to go over, the last post on Twitter was from my, Addiction director and she had wrote this beautiful thing.
01:24:28.000 Here's who Mike Lindell really is and all I said That was the last thing that was ever written before my
01:24:32.000 lost my personal Twitter So I'm over on Elon or I mean on Jack Dorsey's Twitter and
01:24:37.000 I'm over there my pillow gone Jack We know you know when I'm putting comments over there and
01:24:42.000 they have all the bots and trolls go Jack kick him kick my pillow
01:24:45.000 Off he's using another Twitter. He's been kicked off of Twitter and you know, they're just attacking me and I'm
01:24:49.000 going I want to go to Bed so I wanted me to ban it right so I could wake up in
01:24:52.000 the morning make new you know All this news and start to you know, tell people about the
01:24:55.000 election again. He wouldn't take about three things I go I know I go Jack I go
01:25:01.000 I know you were in on this and I am look forward to the day you go to prison
01:25:05.000 Boom!
01:25:05.000 My Twitter went down.
01:25:06.000 I could go to sleep.
01:25:07.000 I wake up in the morning at 7 o'clock.
01:25:09.000 Number one story in the world.
01:25:11.000 My pillow loses their Twitter account.
01:25:13.000 That was new of our company to lose their Twitter account even though we weren't making a lot of money off because I told you all the bots and trolls don't buy pillows, right?
01:25:20.000 You know, so I sacrificed that, but I was able to get the word out in the news, and that was a famous thing on being on Newsmax, where the, you know, they were having me on shows to say, you know, you got canceled, Mike, you got canceled, that's terrible.
01:25:34.000 But I couldn't say why I got canceled, you know, because I wanted to secure elections.
01:25:38.000 I couldn't say anything.
01:25:39.000 And here the guy rips his microphone off and walks off the set, which made the number one.
01:25:44.000 How did your employees react to that?
01:25:46.000 Because I assume your employees are not necessarily all political.
01:25:49.000 They're like, we like this pillow company, we want to work on it.
01:25:50.000 No, they're not at all.
01:25:51.000 They're not at all.
01:25:51.000 Neither is my family and stuff.
01:25:53.000 So they've always just trusted me.
01:25:56.000 I built it from the ground up.
01:25:58.000 It was no money, with nothing.
01:26:00.000 It was all hard work.
01:26:01.000 And a lot of them have been with me for decades.
01:26:03.000 We have careers at MyPillow.
01:26:04.000 So it was a lot of trust.
01:26:05.000 It's going, obviously, and they know me.
01:26:07.000 I never give up.
01:26:08.000 Once I've done my due diligence, I will never back down, ever.
01:26:12.000 My moral compass is what it is.
01:26:14.000 I see I can't unsee what I see or I know what I know They know I was never backing down and they and a lot of them, you know They've been afraid for their jobs probably more so this year because of the attacks have even been up even more But as we were losing stuff around as the walls are getting turned on here goes another box door.
01:26:30.000 Here's another box door now did Did my board of directors some of them some of them left right away?
01:26:37.000 they just you know, they were not they weren't part of the company, but they were bored and and That one made a public comment.
01:26:43.000 I don't believe Mike and I don't have the same thing.
01:26:45.000 I grew up with him.
01:26:46.000 He's the mayor of our town.
01:26:47.000 I grew up with him.
01:26:47.000 And all of a sudden he walks off the board because, you know, he didn't want to be associated with Mike Lindell at that time.
01:26:53.000 And so but the employees, you know, we've stuck together.
01:26:57.000 We're like a family.
01:26:59.000 And that's sad because it's an employee owned company.
01:27:02.000 I'm just the biggest stockholder.
01:27:04.000 So when things do happen, like this last getting canceled, where They've debanked us and everything, where it gets scary for them sometimes.
01:27:11.000 And I'm just, you know, we go through a lot of prayer.
01:27:13.000 We give God the glory, and that's what it's gotten us through, basically.
01:27:16.000 And we have a lot of policies at MyPillow where, you know, for example, if someone dies they're close to, we're not like corporate America, we're going, well, if it's your If it's your immediate family, you can take three days off.
01:27:30.000 If it's your cousin, you better be to work tomorrow.
01:27:33.000 If someone dies for an employee and they're close to them, we don't ask them who it is.
01:27:38.000 It could be their neighbor.
01:27:39.000 They take off and we pay them until they're ready to come back to grieve whatever.
01:27:43.000 And same way if they're hurt, if it's critical, if they have someone critical in their family, we pay while they're gone.
01:27:49.000 We pay them, go take care of them.
01:27:51.000 And then we have another thing too addiction because that's so we'll hire people for second chances and if somebody does get caught or whatever they almost expose themselves I could almost name what the addiction is.
01:28:02.000 We'll go get them the help that I want to give them.
01:28:04.000 I'll pay for the help and pay their wage while they're getting help because addicts will use the excuse well I got to support my family well good for you special okay you're spending all the money over here I'll put you in I'm going to pay you while you're in treatment while you're getting help and you're going to come out and it's been amazing and nobody's really took advantage of it and they, you know, and it's just so
01:28:24.000 they know I have their back and they've had my back and they and you're right it's
01:28:27.000 no politics I would say I would say you know a lot of them switched to
01:28:31.000 Donald Trump now but this was not political. They were more probably the other
01:28:37.000 way when it started out in here.
01:28:39.000 You know, when I backed him in 2016 after meeting him, everyone's going, in fact, my board, this is an interesting story.
01:28:46.000 I met Donald Trump on August 15th of 2016, this famous meeting I went into alone, and we talked about earlier in the show.
01:28:55.000 Well, I went back to Minnesota and I was excited to tell the media You know, I was media's darling.
01:29:00.000 I was excited to tell him, hey, I met this presidential candidate.
01:29:03.000 I wanted to tell him what it was like because I had talked to his employees.
01:29:06.000 I went back there and my board stood around, and he was a liberal, he's a liberal Democrat, my one attorney, and he goes, you're going to lose half our company if you do a press release.
01:29:16.000 I go, why would I lose half the company?
01:29:19.000 I didn't know.
01:29:19.000 I was just naive going, what?
01:29:20.000 Because I met the guy, I just want to tell people about him.
01:29:23.000 And so I walked out of the boardroom and my CMO came out.
01:29:26.000 She goes, we didn't get this all this way by you not listening to God.
01:29:29.000 You gotta pray about what I do, be proactive.
01:29:31.000 I come back in there, I go, we're gonna do that press release!
01:29:34.000 And so I do the press release, right?
01:29:38.000 And I couldn't believe it.
01:29:39.000 It was like shocking.
01:29:41.000 The Tribune on the line and all this stuff and all these people I broke bread with.
01:29:45.000 All these reporters that would come out.
01:29:47.000 How many more employees do you have?
01:29:48.000 Mike, you're the American dream, ex-crack guy, you got 1,500 employees.
01:29:52.000 They turned on me and one of the things was they called me a drug dealer, right, in this thing.
01:29:58.000 Now that, I go, I never dealt a drug in my life.
01:30:01.000 And I'm going, you know, I tried to rid Minneapolis of drugs by doing them all.
01:30:08.000 Or I would give them away.
01:30:10.000 And even my drug dealers, my ex-drug dealers were upset about seeing these comments.
01:30:15.000 So they did.
01:30:15.000 We were all about pulling back, getting that retracted, which they did.
01:30:18.000 They retracted that statement.
01:30:21.000 But it was an attack.
01:30:22.000 I'm going, what did I do?
01:30:24.000 It was something new to me.
01:30:25.000 But maybe that was training for way down the road here.
01:30:29.000 You know, when I spoke at the Rose Garden that time, for up there, when the virus came on, the China virus, and then the president had me speak there, what my pillow was doing to help the country, and I did that, and we were attacked, I was attacked, you'd think I killed someone, 109 interviews in 5 days.
01:30:47.000 Do you think that the box stores will ever bring my pillow back?
01:30:50.000 I don't.
01:30:50.000 There's been a couple that have came on since then, like Ollie's came on, and some stayed with us, like Menard's and Fleet Farm, like the hardware stores, all these hardware stores.
01:31:02.000 They stayed with us.
01:31:03.000 The number one selling in these Mon Par hardware stores to a cross country was my pillow, not a jar of paint.
01:31:09.000 So a lot of them stayed with us.
01:31:11.000 But none of the ones left have come back.
01:31:13.000 And I remember back when it happened, I was on Sean Hannity's show and he said, I said, they're never coming back if they leave now.
01:31:23.000 And he goes, Oh, Mike, you'll change your mind.
01:31:25.000 You know, you don't say like that.
01:31:26.000 And, and I'm going, you know, to the point now, you know, would I take him back now?
01:31:30.000 Well, I'm sure.
01:31:31.000 I'm sure they, you know, it was a business decision they made.
01:31:34.000 A lot of them were in fear.
01:31:35.000 They had to make a decision.
01:31:37.000 I know now more what the attacks were.
01:31:40.000 And they had to make a decision to their stockholders, to their thing.
01:31:43.000 Kohl's, I know, that was when they're number one selling product.
01:31:47.000 Their CEO or their whatever, I got a call and, you know, we quit Bad Mouth and Kohl's, you know, this was during the time I go, you guys are canceling us.
01:31:55.000 I said, so I gave him a special one day all by himself and said, Coles canceled us.
01:31:59.000 You know, I was spreading out, but knowing what I know now, would I take him back if they did?
01:32:04.000 Absolutely.
01:32:05.000 I've got, you know, it's like people always say, well, Mike, you advertise on CNN and they attack you.
01:32:09.000 And I'm going, or you advertise on Fox, but you bad mouth them every day.
01:32:12.000 And I'm going, you know what?
01:32:13.000 I separate business for what my, what I'm doing over here, what they do to me or whatever they attack.
01:32:19.000 That's their deal.
01:32:20.000 I didn't realize Menards is the third largest home improvement in the country.
01:32:25.000 They're a great family-owned company, and they made decisions based on, I knew them, you know, hey, we're not going to fall for this social media, these attacks, and they stuck with it.
01:32:35.000 Fleet Farm was another one, and it'd be surprising.
01:32:39.000 Had those box stores stayed with us.
01:32:42.000 As my pillow, when my pillow first came out, like at Walmart, they were $59.98.
01:32:45.000 It was their number one buy-through in history.
01:32:48.000 That was like in 2011 or 12.
01:32:51.000 And as the price came down, as we got better at manufacturing, my patented foam got better, we could bring the price down.
01:32:57.000 Then it went down to $49.98, and it was the number one buy-through at $49.98.
01:33:01.000 Their history in everything, QVC everywhere.
01:33:05.000 Then when it dropped down to $39.98, now that was the drop.
01:33:08.000 That and a two-pack would have been $29.98 for, you know, $59 for two.
01:33:13.000 When that drop would have been made, that was right when they canceled.
01:33:17.000 It would have been the other stores that stayed with us, they couldn't keep them.
01:33:20.000 I mean, there were walls of them at Menards and Fleet Farm.
01:33:23.000 So these box stores, they sacrificed The fear of public opinion, even though the public turned on them.
01:33:31.000 After this happened, up and down the western seaboard, like Bed, Bath & Beyond, people were filling up grocery carts in Bed, Bath & Beyond, going to the front and then saying, where's my pillows?
01:33:41.000 They say, we don't have them, and leaving their carts there.
01:33:43.000 They were doing this on purpose.
01:33:44.000 It was like a big protest.
01:33:46.000 And you know, Bed Bath & Beyond is not here anymore.
01:33:48.000 I feel bad they made bad decisions, and sitting like, you know, Kohl's and all these, but they sacrificed money.
01:33:55.000 We were their number one selling product, and Walmart, they've got 10,000 products overseas that they make in China.
01:34:01.000 I got a whole different thing with Walmart, a beef with them, where they attack entrepreneurs and stuff, where you invent a product and it shows up in Walmart, or there it is on Amazon, and you can't fight that.
01:34:12.000 That's why I created mystore.com, Where I give these guys a safe haven, I bring the geese to the pond, so to speak.
01:34:18.000 So I bring the people to that outlet, and then they can buy their products for all these entrepreneurs and made-in-the-USA stuff.
01:34:26.000 But it's a long answer to your question.
01:34:28.000 I don't believe they will.
01:34:29.000 Maybe they will down the road when they say, when everyone says, hey, it's OK that Mike Lindell wanted paper ballots hand-counted.
01:34:36.000 And maybe at that point, where the public believes.
01:34:41.000 But not in the near future, is what you're saying.
01:34:44.000 You don't think it'll be in the near future?
01:34:45.000 I don't think, you know, it could be next year, it could be a year after, whatever.
01:34:48.000 But they, you know, by that time, you know, I don't think any company could have survived what MyPillow did.
01:34:58.000 And I think they knew that.
01:34:59.000 Back then, they wanted to kill my voice.
01:35:01.000 It wasn't about, they wanted me to stop talking about our election platform, period.
01:35:06.000 They want me to stop talking.
01:35:07.000 That's why last summer, you think they're attacking me now because I want to overturn the 2020 election?
01:35:13.000 No.
01:35:14.000 I announced last August a plan to secure our elections.
01:35:18.000 And when I announced that, from that time on, the banks debanked us.
01:35:22.000 America Express did.
01:35:23.000 All these different things.
01:35:24.000 They cancel, cancel, cancel.
01:35:26.000 And because I want to go to paper ballots and go, there's big money out there attacking my pillow.
01:35:32.000 They figure if Mike's out of money, he's going to quit talking.
01:35:35.000 That's wrong!
01:35:36.000 I'm going to talk.
01:35:37.000 I don't care.
01:35:38.000 I'll borrow money, which I have.
01:35:39.000 I borrowed millions and millions of dollars, put myself in debt, and I will keep doing it until we save our country and get our American—you know, God's got me doing—God gave me this platform, and I'm doing—I pray about what I'm doing.
01:35:53.000 I'm not going to stop.

01:36:18.000 About my question about reparations.
01:36:20.000 Looks like those farmers deserve their settlement since they won a settlement.
01:36:27.000 Well, thanks for the super chat.
01:36:27.000 Right on.
01:36:29.000 TokenBlackGuy says, Howdy people!
01:36:30.000 Mike, I got a pair of your slippers for my birthday.
01:36:32.000 They're amazingly comfortable.
01:36:35.000 I just, so I've got my second pair.
01:36:38.000 And I want to tell entrepreneurs, like, let's take the slippers.
01:36:41.000 I reverse engineered what slippers should be.
01:36:43.000 This guy came to me, this is kind of funny how things can be invented.
01:36:47.000 He came to me, it's called impact gel, it's made out of soybeans.
01:36:50.000 He puts his hand out, puts this gel over the top, this piece of gel, and he whacks his hand with a hammer.
01:36:55.000 I'm going, you know, what's wrong with you, right?
01:36:58.000 He jumps, he puts the thing out here and he jumps down and he goes, he goes, what it does, it spreads the Spreads the way in the end.
01:37:04.000 It's called the impact gel, right?
01:37:05.000 It's a patent he's got.
01:37:07.000 And I said, wow, these would be great inside shoes or slippers, right?
01:37:12.000 So if you ever cut your my slipper in half, you would see inside your other big brands.
01:37:16.000 You're going to see like cardboard, just garbage in there.
01:37:19.000 I mean, seriously.
01:37:20.000 Inside, you're going to see MyPillow's patented foam.
01:37:22.000 You're going to see a memory foam and that impact gel.
01:37:25.000 So when you wear them, it's like you're wearing the most comfortable shoes ever.
01:37:29.000 And when we came out with them, I did a show once.
01:37:34.000 I think it was in Kentucky.
01:37:35.000 It was like 2,000 people.
01:37:36.000 I was there.
01:37:37.000 It was an addiction event.
01:37:38.000 We were talking about addiction.
01:37:39.000 And everybody wore their slippers.
01:37:41.000 And one guy had to say, hey, could you autograph my slippers?
01:37:45.000 I mean, three hours later, it's so weird!
01:37:48.000 This is an interesting sales tactic to say, we'll go ahead and cut your product in half and see how good it is, and then order another pair.
01:37:54.000 Let's go, we got St.
01:37:56.000 Miles says, just wanted to say, hey Mike, I got my king-size pillows and covers today.
01:38:00.000 Everybody's chatting to let you know they got their MyPillow stuff in the mail.
01:38:04.000 That's awesome.
01:38:05.000 Well, so I was saying, I think I was saying this before the show, that We moved to the new studio, and so we needed towels, I needed a new pair of slippers, we needed pillows, of course, and so Allison was thinking, like, should we go to Walmart or something, and I was like, no, no, no, no, my pillow's got that thing now, it's like 25 bucks for everything, and she was like, oh, okay, and then she just bought a ton of stuff.
01:38:23.000 Came in a big pack.
01:38:23.000 So can I give you a promo code to use on the show for the guests?
01:38:27.000 Sure.
01:38:27.000 Promocode Tim!
01:38:28.000 How about that?
01:38:30.000 Jack Vesobic will be heartbroken.
01:38:33.000 Does that exist already?
01:38:36.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:38:38.000 I set it up.
01:38:38.000 Promocode Tim or Poole.
01:38:39.000 You can use either one.
01:38:40.000 Tim or Poole.
01:38:44.000 I set it up before I got here.
01:38:48.000 Yeah, but yeah, you get all the discounts there, everything, those $25 extravaganza.
01:38:53.000 And we got our six-piece towel sets, $25.
01:38:56.000 We've got the premiums, we're all started.
01:38:57.000 You know, we've sold 83 million MyPillows now.
01:39:01.000 Good for you, man.
01:39:02.000 83, that's incredible.
01:39:03.000 If anyone would have told me that back when I invented it, you know, I was going for years and years going show to show, selling one pillow at a time, but 83 million.
01:39:10.000 We bought 300.
01:39:11.000 Yeah, when we opened the park, I wanted to have a MyPillow pit.
01:39:16.000 I just thought it would be hilarious, and 300 was not enough.
01:39:20.000 It was enough.
01:39:21.000 It was sufficient.
01:39:22.000 It was cool, yeah.
01:39:23.000 But I wanted it bigger, and when I got here, I was like, wow, we need more pillows.
01:39:28.000 But, you know, you got your guys hooked us up, because we called, we talked with Jack, and then we talked to your guys, and we were like, not only do we need the pillows, we need them fluffed.
01:39:36.000 And they said, we'll get it done for you.
01:39:39.000 Yeah, we set them whole.
01:39:40.000 Yeah, I remember that.
01:39:41.000 Yeah.
01:39:42.000 And you know, these are the premium, or these are the MyPillows that we've sold the $83
01:39:46.000 million.
01:39:47.000 And I want to say one more thing with that.
01:39:49.000 Those are also $25, whether you get king or queen or any loft level, which is the lowest
01:39:55.000 You know what I've been doing?
01:39:56.000 These box stores cancel.
01:39:57.000 When they cancel, because we still get cancellations, they'll put in a P.O.
01:40:01.000 and we'll go, okay.
01:40:02.000 And we, this just happened a while back.
01:40:04.000 And we're just selling stuff.
01:40:06.000 People go, how can you sell stuff that low?
01:40:08.000 When we don't have a middleman anymore, the box stores, they take 50 to 55 points if everybody knows out there.
01:40:14.000 So if, you know, if they were paying 25, that's why you were paying 50 in the box stores, right?
01:40:19.000 And so this loss, I choose my pillow, I tell people all the time, that's their loss.
01:40:23.000 Now you think if any one of them wanted to come back and say, you know, have a draw, box stores look for advertising, they look for advertising on TV, and then people will come into any infomercials or commercials, then they come into the box stores.
01:40:37.000 Well, if you take out that, you know, they're all buying direct now.
01:40:40.000 How long did it take you to, I mean, you started, you made a pillow, you were traveling around, and then how did you get from there to Yeah, the real quick story in 2004.
01:40:51.000 Now remember, I quit crack cocaine in 2009, January 16, 2009.
01:40:55.000 And I had sold my bars, and my bars, I had not a good place for an attic.
01:41:00.000 And I didn't want to sell them.
01:41:02.000 It was a series of circumstances.
01:41:03.000 I was devastated at the time.
01:41:06.000 But I sold them, and I took all my money, I put it in, I had this pillow idea.
01:41:12.000 And I had problems with pillows.
01:41:13.000 They'd go flat, I'd use my arm and fold them, and I'll end up in this pillow pile.
01:41:18.000 About nine months to a year, we tried everything.
01:41:21.000 I remember when my son and I out on the deck, we'd have foam flying all over the place, one of my sons, and all through the neighborhood.
01:41:27.000 But finally, one day, we're going, wow, we got it!
01:41:30.000 And I wanted something you could adjust, and it would hold there, right?
01:41:33.000 It was a simple concept.
01:41:35.000 But then I also reversed it.
01:41:36.000 I'm going to make one you could wash and dry.
01:41:38.000 I'm going to make one that'll last, 10-year warranty and all that.
01:41:40.000 So I was so stubborn to get it exactly what I wanted to solve everybody's problem.
01:41:44.000 Well, then when I had it, it's funny, I went into a bad bathroom beyond in Minnesota, and I walked in there, and I was probably not on drugs that day, I can't say for sure, but I walked in there and I go, I got this pillow.
01:41:57.000 I go, you're the manager?
01:41:58.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:41:59.000 And I said, you guys got to carry this pillow?
01:42:00.000 I didn't know anything about retail or anything.
01:42:02.000 I said, it's the best pillow ever.
01:42:03.000 And I'm all excited about it.
01:42:05.000 He goes, you need to leave now.
01:42:09.000 And so, none of the box stores wanted me, and I didn't know what to do.
01:42:13.000 And I finally said, Mike, do a kiosk.
01:42:16.000 And they said, well, how do you spell kiosk?
01:42:17.000 You know, what do you spell?
01:42:18.000 What is it?
01:42:19.000 So we did a kiosk, but I was afraid to talk to public then.
01:42:22.000 I was, you know, I couldn't talk to public.
01:42:24.000 It was very, almost a fear of speaking, right?
01:42:28.000 And public speaking.
01:42:29.000 Well, we did this kiosk.
01:42:31.000 And it completely failed.
01:42:32.000 But I was there one day, and my wife at the time and four little kids, and we put all our money into it.
01:42:40.000 We had left the world, and we sold like, I think, 60 pillows in that month.
01:42:45.000 But the day I was there, I sold one to this guy, and he goes, do you have a business card?
01:42:50.000 I go, oh, Oh, I'm all out.
01:42:51.000 I didn't have a business card.
01:42:52.000 I wrote my name on a piece of paper and gave them in.
01:42:54.000 And so we go through Christmas completely broke, borrowed money, I think, from an ex-bookie to buy Christmas presents.
01:43:00.000 Wow.
01:43:01.000 And this guy calls me in January.
01:43:04.000 He goes, Hey, are you the guy that invented this pillow in Minnesota here?
01:43:06.000 And I go, Yeah.
01:43:07.000 He goes, What changed my life?
01:43:08.000 He said, And I run the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show.
01:43:12.000 Would you like a spot in there?
01:43:13.000 And I go, sure.
01:43:15.000 Can I give you a check, you know?
01:43:18.000 And anyway, I get this spot and I put in there and I put a table up so that people couldn't get in my space, you know, because I could talk to them better.
01:43:26.000 And I put a bold statement up, guaranteed the most comfortable pillow you're on.
01:43:30.000 I'm selling these pillows.
01:43:32.000 And I sold 12 that day.
01:43:34.000 And the next day, they all 12 paid to get back in the show and came to the booth and go, this pillow changed my life.
01:43:41.000 They're telling me this.
01:43:42.000 And the feeling I got by helping people wasn't about the money.
01:43:45.000 It was so cool that I had helped these people.
01:43:48.000 And I was just hooked on that.
01:43:49.000 So I did shows and fairs for All the way up to 2011.
01:43:55.000 I quit cracking everything in 2009, but in 2011, I told my friends and family, I said, you guys, let's do an infomercial.
01:44:02.000 I said, it's going to be the biggest one in the world.
01:44:04.000 And we all pooled our money.
01:44:05.000 I didn't know infomercials don't work.
01:44:07.000 They're only to get you into box stores, which didn't want me, right?
01:44:11.000 Which has come full circle.
01:44:12.000 So we go to film this in August of 2011, and I wanted a real audience.
01:44:20.000 Remember, I couldn't talk in front of people.
01:44:22.000 This was kind of crazy that I wanted this audience, but I had it in my head, and I wanted to do it like I did it at the shows.
01:44:27.000 Well, we brought in, it was me and this gal that sold pillows, too, and they brought in this producer from Hollywood, and he texts the other guy.
01:44:34.000 We are doing our reads.
01:44:36.000 He goes, this is the worst guy I've ever seen.
01:44:37.000 He'll never make it on TV.
01:44:39.000 He goes, just quiet.
01:44:40.000 He's paying you.
01:44:41.000 Well, I get out there the next day, and I was petrified.
01:44:44.000 I'm walking, and it took an hour to do one line.
01:44:47.000 I couldn't talk in front of the people.
01:44:49.000 And I think I went and said a quick prayer in the bathroom.
01:44:52.000 I came back out.
01:44:52.000 I said, can we bring a table in and throw away the teleprompter?
01:44:55.000 I just want to do it, like, you know, because I was so passionate about the pillows by then, you know, because they worked.
01:45:00.000 But you recreated what you were doing at the trade show?
01:45:02.000 Exactly.
01:45:03.000 So we brought the table in.
01:45:04.000 I pretended the audience wasn't there, and I was living in my sister's basement.
01:45:08.000 This was August 7, 2011.
01:45:10.000 It aired the first time at like 3 in the morning.
01:45:13.000 It was like surreal for me.
01:45:14.000 I'm seeing myself on TV.
01:45:15.000 I'm going, wow.
01:45:17.000 And I had trained a call center in Connecticut to take my calls.
01:45:21.000 Well, on the second day of this commercial, it just exploded.
01:45:24.000 And I told, like, Vendor, my patent and phone company, and I said, you guys, I need 30-day credit.
01:45:29.000 I said, I'm going to go from $100 million to $200 million overnight.
01:45:32.000 They're going, okay, I will give you a 30-day credit.
01:45:34.000 Well, what happened then, on the second day, I remember calling that call center and going, yeah, what's in that pillow?
01:45:40.000 The guy goes, I don't know.
01:45:42.000 Google it.
01:45:42.000 I go, Google it!
01:45:44.000 I'm on the phone.
01:45:45.000 I fired the call center.
01:45:46.000 We built our own in two weeks.
01:45:48.000 I had 10 employees.
01:45:49.000 Forty days later, I had 500.
01:45:51.000 They go, Mike, you need to be CEO.
01:45:53.000 I go, why do I want to be a CEO?
01:45:54.000 I didn't really know what they were.
01:45:55.000 I go, I just want to make pillows here and help people.
01:45:57.000 They go, and we need a corporate attorney.
01:45:59.000 I go, that sounds horrible.
01:46:00.000 And we need an HR department.
01:46:01.000 That sounds even worse, you know.
01:46:03.000 So we grew this huge growth.
01:46:05.000 Number one infomercial in the world by the end of December.
01:46:09.000 And I tell this story when I do rallies and stuff.
01:46:12.000 And over the next six months, we took in $100 million.
01:46:15.000 Wow.
01:46:16.000 And I remember calling my friend.
01:46:18.000 I go, Tom, do you know the ATMs don't go to the seven digit?
01:46:21.000 He goes, no, I didn't know that, Mike.
01:46:22.000 I'm going, it was crazy, all this money.
01:46:26.000 But I woke up in May that year, and we were $6 million in debt, and I was in tears going, God, what did I do wrong?
01:46:34.000 And I started digging in over the next two years to dig out of that with no bank or anything.
01:46:39.000 I built everything with my hands and from the ground up.
01:46:41.000 Everything we owned, we built and just kept making inventory.
01:46:44.000 Well to dig out I learned so much from 2012 there was betrayal I made handshake deals Contracts didn't matter which one I made people took advantage and then I brought it on I wanted to do it my way where everything is tracked What if I only had to live on that newspaper ad or that one podcast or that one show?
01:47:03.000 I took it in and we did everything ourselves and I Basically, micromanage everything and macromanage it.
01:47:12.000 That's where we got to today.
01:47:13.000 83 million MyPillows later, this big company, thousands of employees.
01:47:18.000 But I always look back and say, if 2012 hadn't happened in MyPillow, I would never be here because I learned so much.
01:47:25.000 I tell any entrepreneurs out there, business people, learn by that.
01:47:29.000 You learn by those mistakes.
01:47:30.000 But it was so big.
01:47:31.000 It was devastating at the time.
01:47:33.000 But I look back now, if that didn't happen, I would have just been slowly You know, I would have never done that.
01:47:38.000 You wouldn't have got it, right?
01:47:38.000 I wouldn't have got it.
01:47:39.000 And I look at the 2020 election like that.
01:47:42.000 If the 2020 election hadn't happened, so much has been revealed now, whether it's bad.
01:47:48.000 We're going to look back, and I always say, you know, this is on God's time, we're going to look back and say, everything had to happen, even the bad.
01:47:54.000 God uses all things for good.
01:47:56.000 And people, like you say, it's opening people's eyes, like we've talked about from You know, from Elon Musk on down, it's at least opened people's eyes to this bucket of common sense.
01:48:06.000 It just comes down to common sense.
01:48:09.000 Let's read some more Super Chats.
01:48:10.000 We got Christian Bond says, Phil, listening to Divine took me back to 06.
01:48:14.000 Just got my meet and greet passes.
01:48:16.000 See you in Phoenix, brother.
01:48:17.000 Sick.
01:48:18.000 Awesome.
01:48:18.000 Thank you so much.
01:48:19.000 Can't wait.
01:48:20.000 I appreciate it.
01:48:21.000 Phil's going on tour this summer.
01:48:22.000 Are you going to attend his shows?
01:48:24.000 What's that?
01:48:24.000 Are you going to attend Phil's shows?
01:48:25.000 Well, yeah, where's he at?
01:48:27.000 Uh, we're gonna be all over the U.S.
01:48:28.000 Is that right?
01:48:29.000 You wanna come?
01:48:30.000 Absolutely.
01:48:30.000 We'll be up in the Minneapolis-St.
01:48:32.000 Paul area, I think.
01:48:33.000 Yep, you let me know.
01:48:33.000 I'll be there.
01:48:34.000 Awesome.
01:48:35.000 Alright, TRD says, Mike's pillows are definitely not lumpy.
01:48:38.000 Anyone who says otherwise is an ambulance chaser and an a-hole.
01:48:44.000 I got so much trouble from my wife for saying that.
01:48:47.000 They said they weren't supposed to publish that.
01:48:49.000 I think you should just make merch out of it.
01:48:50.000 it was so funny. Rudy Cassone says Biden is waiting for a conviction and then use it as
01:48:58.000 an excuse to not debate. That's actually a good point, I wonder.
01:49:02.000 He didn't come out and say, ah, I'm not doing this.
01:49:05.000 That's a good point.
01:49:06.000 No, we're not going to legitimize him.
01:49:08.000 He's a convicted blah blah blah.
01:49:09.000 There's something really strange that he agreed to that.
01:49:12.000 There's something hidden there we don't know yet.
01:49:15.000 Let's go, Nathan Sherwood says, went home to visit over the weekend and saw flyers for the Raising of the Pride flag at City Hall run by Pride of Binghamton, whose logo is a flaming brick with a Pride flag painted on it.
01:49:27.000 Wow.
01:49:29.000 That's definitely a reference to Stonewall, yeah.
01:49:32.000 None for me, thanks though.
01:49:34.000 No thanks.
01:49:35.000 Jason Hutchinson says, Mike Lindell saw adversity and conquered it with a pillow.
01:49:39.000 I dare anybody to do better.
01:49:40.000 Good job.
01:49:43.000 Amazing.
01:49:44.000 All right.
01:49:45.000 It's funny that you just got fixated on inventing a really good pillow.
01:49:48.000 Like were you always inventing stuff in your life or was the pillow the first and only
01:49:52.000 – Well, I had a couple of things.
01:49:54.000 I remember inventing a thing for ice fishing we have in Minnesota.
01:49:57.000 My dad and I spent all my money inventing this and to make a long story short, we tested
01:50:03.000 it up at Lake Mille Lacs and it worked.
01:50:06.000 And I remember a week later, I was so excited but my dad calls me and says, you need to
01:50:09.000 get over here now.
01:50:11.000 We opened up this magazine and almost identical, some other inventor two years early had thought
01:50:16.000 about it and it was already out there publicly.
01:50:21.000 I'm going, no way!
01:50:23.000 Somebody beat you to it.
01:50:23.000 But that's a problem-solution.
01:50:25.000 Both things, there was only one.
01:50:27.000 The problem, what the problem was, there was only one solution, and we both thought of that solution.
01:50:32.000 But usually it's been, you know, it's been entrepreneur, where my sister flooded a third-story building of an apartment complex back in the early 80s, so I became a carpet cleaner, you know, and this waterbed went everywhere.
01:50:45.000 So, problem-solution type thing.
01:50:47.000 Laundry room said sleep is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
01:50:51.000 And I just want to stress that, um, when it comes to, uh, you know, health and exercise and all that sleep, one of the most important things you need deep sleep.
01:51:01.000 So people will be thinking like I'm eating healthy, I'm exercising, but for some reason, are you, are you sleeping?
01:51:07.000 Cause a lot of people don't get sleep and then wonder why it is their body's not getting right.
01:51:11.000 Even though they're following the diet and exercise properly, but something's still wrong.
01:51:14.000 And it's quality sleep, too.
01:51:17.000 One of the things with that adjustability of my pillow, keeping your cervical nerves straight at night, where people, if you bend them, it's like bending a water hose, and you're flip-flopping all night, and you're breaking your sleep cycles of REM Delta sleep.
01:51:31.000 It's funny, because back when I did my first commercials, someone put in there, sleep expert, and in California, you've got to go to four years of college to be a sleep expert, so I got sued for a million dollars.
01:51:41.000 Wow.
01:51:42.000 I mean, these are the things they attack, you know, you know, claims.
01:51:46.000 I don't like memory foam as a solid thing.
01:51:49.000 I can't do it.
01:51:50.000 Beds and pillows.
01:51:52.000 They I wake up stiff.
01:51:53.000 My muscles don't don't move.
01:51:55.000 But the my pills are fantastic.
01:51:57.000 You need a MyPillow mattress topper that fixes that memory foam or any bed.
01:52:01.000 I wouldn't go anywhere.
01:52:03.000 This ain't memory foam, right?
01:52:04.000 Oh, you like the memory foam?
01:52:05.000 No, I'm saying like, I wouldn't go on a memory foam mattress.
01:52:08.000 No, you couldn't.
01:52:09.000 It heats up because heat, there's two things that can ruin your sleep cycles, and that's heat and pressure points.
01:52:16.000 Most beds, that's what they have, both of them.
01:52:18.000 And I tell people all the time, they'll buy a brand new bed and go, oh, I got my side here.
01:52:22.000 I'm going, you need a different input.
01:52:23.000 It's not going to change.
01:52:25.000 You're going to, you know, but they don't want to return the bed or whatever.
01:52:27.000 So I took the MyPillow mat shop, we put it on there.
01:52:29.000 I reverse engineered that.
01:52:32.000 Everything I reverse-engineer, what should go in there to help you?
01:52:35.000 I don't care.
01:52:36.000 One of the things you won't see me selling is all these decorative pillows that you see in hotels where you take your arm and throw them on the floor.
01:52:41.000 What's that going to do?
01:52:42.000 Why do they look cute?
01:52:44.000 All right.
01:52:47.000 Acoustic Theory says, if Hydro PX won't be kicked, this chat is effectively unmoderated.
01:52:54.000 Acoustic Theory.
01:52:55.000 Hydro just complains all day, but he gives us like a hundred bucks every night.
01:53:00.000 And it's not like he's like slurring or anything.
01:53:03.000 He's just calling me names.
01:53:05.000 It's a super chatter we have who comes in every night, dumps like a hundred bucks just to insult me, but you're allowed to insult me.
01:53:12.000 Yeah, you're allowed to do it.
01:53:13.000 It's always allowed.
01:53:14.000 I mean, it would be like the worst super chat in the world if I was like, I'm gonna just hire someone to delete all of the chats I don't agree with.
01:53:19.000 So it's like, well, you know, thank you Hydro for your opinions and your money.
01:53:23.000 Right.
01:53:24.000 It was always allowed, you know.
01:53:27.000 Let's get another one.
01:53:29.000 Let's see.
01:53:29.000 Nur Elayes says, I believe it was a literal miracle.
01:53:34.000 When Frank's speech effectively distributed absolute proof despite the consistent cyber attacks Mr. Lindell's site withstood, it streamed smooth as silk and no communist was able to stop it.
01:53:44.000 What happened that week was beyond man's power.
01:53:47.000 Wow.
01:53:47.000 True.
01:53:47.000 When we did the Cyber Symposium, when I did the movie Absolute Proof on February 5th of 2021, it was taken down everywhere.
01:53:55.000 In fact, Alan Duke, the Facebook fact checker, Alan and I have a weird relationship, but Alan put a cover of it saying it contains nudity and porn.
01:54:04.000 He's supposed to be the Facebook fact checker, right?
01:54:06.000 So they're putting all these things up then.
01:54:08.000 Well, we were canceled everywhere there on February 5th, but 200, it was close to 300 million people worldwide seen that in four days, because the public was longing to see, to hear some positive things.
01:54:21.000 And then the Cyber Symposium, he might be talking about that, the event I had in South Dakota in the summer of 21, that was too, it was such an attack.
01:54:30.000 attacks and to get through that.
01:54:32.000 But it planted seeds where I think everybody went back out and said, hey, there's problems.
01:54:37.000 Maybe in our state, maybe in our county.
01:54:39.000 And whatever it was back then, you know, because I thought, well, it failed.
01:54:44.000 What did it do?
01:54:44.000 But now I talk to people, you know, two years later, they go, you know, I was at that or I watched that.
01:54:50.000 And that gave me go and see if I had problems in my own county.
01:54:53.000 And so, you know, the seeds were planted.
01:54:56.000 It worked.
01:54:56.000 ObamaPhoneProMax5G says, Tim, how do you think that Trump will save the economy?
01:55:02.000 Inflation is completely out of control and many economists I've been following on YouTube are predicting something on the level of the Great Depression is coming.
01:55:09.000 I'll just put it this way.
01:55:11.000 Maybe he won't.
01:55:12.000 But when the Great Depression comes, who do you want in charge of the economy?
01:55:15.000 Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
01:55:17.000 Your choice.
01:55:19.000 Pick what you want.
01:55:19.000 Do you want the real estate celebrity billionaire or do you want the crooked backroom deals guy?
01:55:26.000 I mean, I'll take the guy who's run a bunch of companies and has got tens of thousands of employees.
01:55:32.000 It doesn't mean you're guaranteed anything.
01:55:35.000 It just means like, come on.
01:55:37.000 You're not going to hire a janitor to be your accountant.
01:55:40.000 You know what I mean?
01:55:40.000 Like, no offense to janitors.
01:55:41.000 It's a good job.
01:55:42.000 I just point to people December of 2019.
01:55:44.000 Try and put your mind back there and where you were at, you know, physically, wherever you started from and where you were.
01:55:52.000 I bet you sold a lot of pillows in 2019.
01:55:54.000 Oh, absolutely.
01:55:54.000 It was huge.
01:55:55.000 It was massive.
01:55:58.000 It actually went up when I spoke at the Rose Garden in the spring of 2020, because it got worldwide attention all of a sudden, you know, because everyone was attacking, how dare you talk about reading the Bible from the podium!
01:56:13.000 What a concept.
01:56:13.000 How dare you?
01:56:15.000 Donald Trump is not gonna come in and save us.
01:56:21.000 It's just that it's better than Biden.
01:56:25.000 Donald Trump is not gonna come in and save us.
01:56:27.000 He's just not going to keep setting us on fire like Joe Biden is.
01:56:31.000 I would love, I hope, I mean that's the reason that I asked Cash about his plan for unfunded liabilities and stuff.
01:56:37.000 Our biggest problem, I say it over and over, our biggest problem facing the country is unfunded liabilities, mandatory spending, the things that the government has to spend, the discretionary spending, military spending, all the things, even as much as I talk about getting rid of entire bureaucracies and getting rid of cabinet level bureaucracies and stuff like that, that's nothing When it comes to saving money compared to what is actually needed to happen to stop the massive problem with our unfunded liability.
01:57:06.000 So Donald Trump, if he doesn't have a great plan, at the very least, if you can get a friendly business environment, Then you can have your economy start growing again and at least it can moderate how fast the problem compounds because, again, this is our problem compounding interest, but the more productive your economy is, you can stave it off and possibly could come up with a solution.
01:57:29.000 If not, we're going to be looking at serious austerity in the United States and America is not ready for that.
01:57:35.000 If you think the problems that we have now With the economy the way they are, all the other social problems, with the economy the way that it is, they all get magnified, you know, times ten or a hundred or a thousand when you throw on top of an economic crisis.
01:57:51.000 All of the problems that, like all the stuff you hear about before World War II in Germany, there was all these bad things going on, including a massive economic problem.
01:58:00.000 Massive economic problems just amplify all of your social problems.
01:58:05.000 So this is a big thing that we have to worry about.
01:58:07.000 This is a good super chat.
01:58:08.000 I like this one.
01:58:08.000 BrownBear992 says, important question for Mike.
01:58:12.000 I want to get a MyPillow, but I don't know which fill level is right for me.
01:58:16.000 What should I do?
01:58:16.000 Well, you can go right to the website or one of my operators.
01:58:20.000 They'll ask you a couple of questions right on the site and you'll be custom fit.
01:58:24.000 Use promo code Tim.
01:58:27.000 There we go.
01:58:27.000 That's great.
01:58:28.000 Eat your heart out, Jack Posobiec.
01:58:30.000 He's gonna be so mad.
01:58:32.000 You should bury Poso just because he's always throwing shade at his wife.
01:58:37.000 This is the number one promo code out there so far.
01:58:39.000 I think he does it with his wife.
01:58:41.000 Yeah, Tanya.
01:58:42.000 Yeah, they argue over whose promo code does better.
01:58:45.000 Hers does some tweaks.
01:58:49.000 Well, not for long.
01:58:50.000 Look at Tim now.
01:58:52.000 Promo code Tim.
01:58:54.000 Let's go.
01:58:55.000 What do we have here?
01:58:57.000 Mike17Frank161 says, Howdy Tim!
01:58:59.000 I'm a big fan and private member.
01:59:01.000 I'm asking for a donation to the Arkansas Firefighter Museum and Fire Education Center.
01:59:06.000 They're a 501c3.
01:59:07.000 I know times are tough, but every donation helps.
01:59:09.000 Thanks and God bless.
01:59:10.000 That's the Arkansas Firefighter Museum.
01:59:13.000 Let me, let me, let me punch that in.
01:59:14.000 That's cool.
01:59:16.000 Okay.
01:59:18.000 Just, uh, bear with me.
01:59:19.000 Arkansas Firefighter Museum.
01:59:24.000 Let's pull that one up.
01:59:24.000 I love museums.
01:59:25.000 I feel like they don't get enough attention, and they're so easily hijacked by people with really impressive ideologies.
01:59:30.000 I don't know the website.
01:59:31.000 I gotta find the website.
01:59:32.000 We'll find the website.
01:59:34.000 We'll grab a couple more Super Chats while we're here, and see what we got.
01:59:41.000 Mr. Shazam says, I'm broke now, but words have value.
01:59:44.000 Thanks.
01:59:45.000 Thanks for the Super Chat.
01:59:46.000 Polly Piray says, Kelsey Grammar's show, Frasier, was a mockery of the left wing.
01:59:52.000 Was it?
01:59:53.000 I guess.
01:59:55.000 All right.
01:59:56.000 Barely a Millennial says, I bought a MyPillow 2.0 last year.
01:59:59.000 They accidentally sent me two.
02:00:01.000 Tried to send one back.
02:00:02.000 They told me to keep it.
02:00:02.000 Made my day.
02:00:03.000 LOL.
02:00:04.000 It's the little things.
02:00:04.000 That's awesome.
02:00:05.000 That's our customer service, by the way.
02:00:08.000 I tell people in business, treat every customer like it's your only customer.
02:00:11.000 Cause I remember only having a few customers.
02:00:14.000 I remember one kid not getting his birthday present in time or wasn't going to get in time.
02:00:18.000 This lady called me from Wisconsin.
02:00:19.000 It was a six hour drive.
02:00:21.000 I'm back in the day and I felt so bad.
02:00:22.000 It wasn't my fault.
02:00:23.000 It was the shipping.
02:00:23.000 And I, so I drove the present there.
02:00:25.000 You think she's going, I can't.
02:00:26.000 I can't believe you did this to me!
02:00:28.000 But you know what?
02:00:29.000 We built our company on that.
02:00:32.000 So just like that, I tell people, hey, if it's our mistake, tell them to keep it.
02:00:37.000 But it's great that they call.
02:00:39.000 I just go, you've been so honest, keep it.
02:00:41.000 They're going, oh, no, no.
02:00:42.000 And I'm going, no, really.
02:00:44.000 Yeah.

02:01:17.000 Shout out something?
02:01:17.000 More pillows, I guess?
02:01:18.000 Where can people find you?
02:01:20.000 I'll tell you what you can do, okay?
02:01:23.000 Three things.
02:01:24.000 One is, if you're discouraged, you want to see The Hope, go to LyndalePlan.com.
02:01:29.000 Go to LyndalePlan.com.
02:01:30.000 I've got it all laid out there, what we're doing to secure our elections, and everybody, I don't care who you are, you're going to have some interest to go there.
02:01:38.000 Another thing I want to say, if you're If you're married, if you know someone that you think is incorrigible, or he's an addict and there's no hope, I disagree.
02:01:46.000 Go to lyndalerecoverynetwork.org.
02:01:49.000 It's free.
02:01:50.000 And one of the things, if you tell your addict, if you tell them, most of them know me, and most of them know I was an ex-addict, so they're gonna trust, hey, he might know what he's talking about.
02:01:58.000 So, that's that.
02:01:59.000 And then also, my store, with the thousands of entrepreneurs there, I encourage you all to go there and help these entrepreneurs.

02:02:10.000 And also at MyPillow, my employee-owned company.
02:02:13.000 We're still here.
02:02:14.000 We're not going anywhere.
02:02:15.000 And I want to tell everyone, because of the audience out there, because the public's got behind us, just over the last three weeks, we've hired 30 new employees.
02:02:25.000 And our manufacturing went up 60% over the last month.
02:02:30.000 The last five days were our busiest days of the year.
02:02:33.000 And usually this time of year is one of our slowest, so we're really on the upswing, and it's because of everybody out there.
02:02:40.000 And now we got the great new promo code, Tim, so I expect a second stock market going straight up.
02:02:45.000 That's right.
02:02:46.000 Right on.
