I know that many of you are anxiously awaiting news of what is going on with Pillow, my pillow
CEO and founder, Mike Lindell.
It's been a tough go for Pillow.
Pillow had his bank drop him.
Pillow announced that he's under multiple IRS audits.
Pillow announced a fire sale auction on a bunch of equipment from his factories and
delivery vans and furniture, I'm sorry, a pillow manufacturing equipment and all sorts
of different things.
The latest here for the guy who really, you know, he could have just lived the rest of
his life out as a rich, successful businessman.
Trump almost became a substitute for his previous addictions in a way, you could say.
And now here's what's going on with Pillow announcing it to Steve Bannon.
His lawyers have dropped him because he's not paying them because he doesn't have any
money to pay them.
Take a look at this.
We have breaking news, kind of shocking news.
Mike Lindell joins me.
Mike, can you please tell me what the hell's going on here?
Because I'm totally confused now, sir.
Yeah.
Well, Steve, the 10 minutes ago, all the pillow almost in tears, lawyers we have for my pillow
and myself in the lawsuits with the law fair with Dominion and Smartmatic, they just filed
in federal court to drop us as our attorneys.
And this comes from the law fair, basically, and from the media, the attacks on my pillow,
what American Express did, just devastating our credit.
And we have to, I can't pay the lawyers.
We can't pay.
We have no money left to pay them.
And I told the, you know, the attorneys, these are great attorneys.
They were courageous, came on a year and a half ago or two years ago, and they need to
get paid.
They have families and stuff, too.
And I told them, I have to protect what my company, I have to protect that.
I can't keep paying into this law fair.
And so they've had to, they've had to drop us.
I don't know where that leads us, but I wanted to get out in front of it before the media
is going to attack again.
Like you've never seen today.
And I went down, I was I've called him, I talked to them, they filed a 10 minutes ago
and they these guys were great, just great lawyers.
And they are.
But they have families, they have kids, they have grandchildren, they have, you know, a
lot of fear is affecting everyone.
It's and so understand when Pillow uses this term lawfare, this is a war.
You I'm sure many of you are familiar with the term warfare, lawfare.
They've created this term to mean the use of the law in a weaponized way.
And I think what Pillow is trying to say is that it's become too risky for his lawyers
to keep representing him because of the lawfare, the legal warfare being launched against them.
But he's saying he doesn't have the money to pay them.
So it seems basically it's just like they need to get paid.
They're lawyers.
And this whole MAGA world of not paying lawyers is really something else.
attacks my pillow.
So then all the time.
And this.
Hang on a second.
Slow down.
Is this.
Are you going to go forward in these suits?
Are you going to.
How long do you have to get new lawyers?
I don't know, Steve.
I don't know.
The this, I guess it would be up to the judges.
But I don't know who wants to be a lawyer.
If you can't get paid.
I don't know how this works.
All I know is that I'm going to be a lawyer.
I'm going to be a lawyer.
I don't know how this works.
All I know is that I'm out there fighting for my company that was sued for billions
of dollars.
So they've done nothing wrong.
They're an employee owned company.
And but if there's nothing left to fight for and I got to do, I pay the lawyers that were
fighting for this.
So I don't know where.
Now, listen, it's sort of a sounding like pillow is broke, but I kind of doubt that.
My guess is that there is separation in assets between a bunch of his personal assets and
some of what's going on.
And I know he has put like the last he was on this show, he said he had put thirty five
million dollars into all this election nonsense.
This is really a tragic tale.
Now, it's completely self-inflicted.
You don't have to feel bad for the guy.
But it is a tragic tale in the sense that he does have an employee owned company.
I mean, it's like he owns most of it, but it's it's he has a company with employees
in the United States that provide jobs that I think are at least OK.
And imagine being one of those employees and you don't have 200 million bucks or whatever
amount Mike Pillow has.
And all of a sudden your boss loses it.
It's in a way like if you're just calmly working at Twitter and incomes, the wrecking ball
of Elon Musk.
And next thing you know, you're out of a job and the company's imploding.
They're looking at what their boss is doing.
And I'm sure many of them are thinking, what on earth is wrong with this guy?
He might be able to afford this stuff, but we really don't.
And so whatever level of care Pillow expresses for his employees, it is natural to question
it given that his actions for years have been bad for his employees.
And he just keeps going.
I know people have suggested he used to be addicted to drugs, that this entire new thing
with the election and everything is his new drug of sorts.
I don't I'm not qualified to make that determination, but there seems to be something almost diagnostic
about his fixation with continuing to push this stuff.
At this point, I don't even know that it's about being in Trump's good graces.
I don't know that Pillow's even in in touch with Trump or is in that periphery in any
way.
So it's there.
It doesn't mean we feel sad in the sense that he brought it on himself.
He probably still has tens of millions, if not more money.
He's going to be OK.
It's a tragedy in that it was completely optional.
The Rudy Giuliani implosion, again, completely optional.
And so there is a tragic element to it.
