WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:10.220 We are not, as a church, trying to pick a political party, endorse a political party, anything like that. 00:10.320 --> 00:15.080 That's not who we are. We are trying to take a stand for righteousness. 00:16.140 --> 00:24.340 And all you have to do is see what the candidates stand for, measure it against the Scripture, 00:25.360 --> 00:29.040 and you've already got your choice. It's already picked. 00:33.180 --> 00:35.160 Debating if I should say something or not. 00:39.470 --> 00:44.550 I don't want to get anybody angry right out of the gates, and our security people have to go to work right away. 00:46.350 --> 01:02.710 I will say this, coming from a biblical Christian perspective, I personally would like someone to explain to me how you can be a current Democrat and a Christian. 01:03.870 --> 01:06.630 I've never had someone explain that well to me. 01:06.990 --> 01:16.090 Because, see, the problem is, if you vote that party, when they go into office, they're going to vote party lines. 01:16.750 --> 01:20.010 You say, but they're a nice person, and they're Christians, and they say, well, that's fine. 01:20.070 --> 01:28.190 But when they get in office, they're going to vote all the things that are anti-Scripture, and we put them there. 01:29.510 --> 01:33.150 So, if you're a Democrat tonight, welcome. Glad to have you. 01:33.690 --> 01:40.690 Please talk to me afterwards, and explain to me how you justify being a Democrat and biblical Christianity. 01:41.010 --> 01:42.310 How do you marry those two? 01:43.050 --> 01:47.590 And I'm not saying the Republicans are perfect by any means. They got issues. 01:49.350 --> 01:52.490 But we are in a two-party system, whether we like it or not. 01:52.490 --> 01:59.150 I mean, that's somebody who's going to get into major office is either going to be Republican or Democrat. 01:59.910 --> 02:03.270 And at least the Republicans still pray at their conventions. 02:04.350 --> 02:08.130 I mean, if you can't find anything else good, at least they still pray. 02:09.250 --> 02:13.110 And give God some credit. And to me, that goes a long way. 02:14.650 --> 02:19.350 So, we're here to find righteousness, and we bring in candidates. 02:21.650 --> 02:24.550 I've said before, we're willing to bring in Democratic candidates. 02:25.450 --> 02:31.990 They're going to have to take some heat, though, because when the Q&A time comes, they're going to get asked some direct questions. 02:33.170 --> 02:35.130 And so far, we don't have any takers. 02:36.510 --> 02:39.210 And it's like, well, whatever. We're willing, though. 02:40.490 --> 02:44.030 And I try to keep an open mind here, both sides of the story. 02:45.350 --> 02:48.770 But tonight, we've got someone who it's an honor to have. 02:50.590 --> 02:54.190 And I will say, I told him privately, I'll say this publicly. 02:55.490 --> 03:00.090 Thank you for taking a stand at great cost. 03:06.060 --> 03:10.040 Great cost to his reputation. Great cost to his company. 03:11.240 --> 03:13.620 I mean, great cost. 03:14.280 --> 03:18.860 So thank you. We sincerely, from the bottom of our heart, thank you. 03:19.560 --> 03:21.740 So let's start with prayer. You go to that. 03:22.400 --> 03:24.080 Lord, thank you for this evening. 03:24.640 --> 03:28.760 Bless this time together. Open our hearts and our minds. 03:29.820 --> 03:37.320 I know I'm praying with the choir here, and we're all here because we want to see this country return back to some godliness. 03:37.320 --> 03:44.080 But Lord, we're asking that not only for us, but for those in this country, 03:44.540 --> 03:49.160 especially the group that seems to be the deciding voters now, 03:49.520 --> 03:56.620 open their hearts and minds to see what's real, to see righteousness, to see deception, 03:56.920 --> 04:04.300 and not just lock down in their opinions, but open them to see things a little bit more from your perspective. 04:04.300 --> 04:07.180 Help us to do that tonight. I pray. 04:08.040 --> 04:11.600 Let this be a peaceful gathering. Let this be a calm gathering. 04:11.800 --> 04:20.120 But at the same token, we want to learn more about how we can make a difference in this world and be salt and light to this world. 04:20.440 --> 04:24.560 We thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for all these people that have come. 04:25.040 --> 04:28.940 And Lord, we call your blessing on this evening in Jesus' name. Amen. 04:28.940 --> 04:34.760 Amen. Rick, would you come and you introduce yourself and take it from here? 04:36.000 --> 04:39.320 Thank you so much, everybody. We'll see how well this microphone works. 04:39.760 --> 04:42.720 I am Rick Weibel, the campaign manager for Mike Lindell. 04:43.220 --> 04:50.580 A couple of things that you'll want to understand. Number one, the books out on the table, those are all free for you. 04:52.420 --> 04:57.760 If you want an extra copy for relatives to give out, ask us. 04:57.760 --> 05:02.520 The answer is yes. We want to spread that word. 05:02.800 --> 05:09.240 Inside when you open up that book, it's dedicated to those who are looking for hope. 05:10.220 --> 05:16.880 When you look at what's happening in Minnesota right now, that book will clearly explain Mike's past, 05:16.880 --> 05:28.440 but it will give you an understanding of how he has approached life and where he's at today before the 2020 election. 05:29.120 --> 05:33.700 It ends in 2019. I need you guys to read that book faithfully. 05:34.060 --> 05:41.520 Help us write the next book, Fraud Investigator, to Governor. 05:41.520 --> 05:54.480 The shirts out there, Amy will guide you on those. Those are $30 each except for the two acts. Those are $32. 05:55.080 --> 06:02.340 You can pay cash, check, or scan a QR code and pay by credit card. That's all I have to say. Please welcome Mike Lindell. 06:09.880 --> 06:13.200 Thank you. I'm going to put this here so I have a timer. 06:14.480 --> 06:17.960 Last night I talked for five hours, so I'm losing my voice. 06:19.160 --> 06:25.960 And then I had a deposition today. Keith Ellison keeps attacking my Christian Recovery Network. It's disgusting. 06:31.200 --> 06:39.300 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take you back for 15 minutes and tell you who I am and bring you up like if you haven't read the book. 06:39.300 --> 06:47.380 And so I was born and raised in Minnesota. My parents divorced when I was seven years old back in 1968. 06:48.940 --> 06:56.240 And we moved to Chaska, Minnesota, and I was the only, my mother and I moved to Sarab. I was the only kid from a divorce family. 06:56.760 --> 07:04.840 Divorces were not common back then. So I felt indifferent. I felt I was very shy or I would show off. 07:05.400 --> 07:11.620 And as you read my book, one of the things I always said, I always thought I just didn't like small talk. 07:12.100 --> 07:17.220 I just didn't like, my biggest fear was talking in front of public and talking public speaking. 07:18.000 --> 07:25.240 I mean, God's got a sense of humor. And it was because you don't get rejected if you don't talk. 07:25.740 --> 07:29.720 So it was an inner feeling of rejection. I could never get over that. I wasn't good enough. 07:29.720 --> 07:35.040 I wasn't worthy. I was different. I'll cast all kinds of things. And that led to my life. 07:36.020 --> 07:45.600 I lived, I'll cut through, I was a very functioning addict. I came alcohol and cocaine when I was in my 20s. 07:46.000 --> 07:51.420 But I was a very functioning addict. People think of addicts on the street out there with no forks. 07:51.480 --> 07:56.020 I've been there too, though. But most addicts are functioning addicts. 07:56.020 --> 07:59.980 I raised a family, 20 year marriage, three or four kids. 08:04.360 --> 08:10.300 But during that time, and I was always an entrepreneur, I would come up with something, problem solution. 08:10.800 --> 08:17.580 The last job I had was working at a drive-in movie theater in a grocery store back in, oh, 1982, 08:18.180 --> 08:21.520 from my first six years after turning 16. 08:22.440 --> 08:29.080 But then I remember, I got fired at the grocery store for probably the 15th time for not following. 08:29.420 --> 08:34.520 I didn't like his rules, the rules they had. I was the hardest worker, worked my hours and he's going, 08:34.940 --> 08:39.280 I go, what do you mean? I said, you're hurting your employees over here. 08:39.360 --> 08:41.880 One of them was I wanted to go to a funeral of a friend of mine. 08:42.160 --> 08:44.240 And it couldn't go because it was against the rules. 08:44.400 --> 08:47.660 He had to be someone three days off if someone dies in your family. 08:48.760 --> 08:54.260 And so I just went anyway. And of course, the union would get my job back and this happened now and then. 08:55.140 --> 09:01.820 And finally, then one day, when he ended up firing me, his dad, who always stuck up for me, said, 09:01.900 --> 09:07.180 Mike, you're destined for bigger things. He said, I'm not going to protect you this time. 09:07.300 --> 09:10.060 He said, you don't want to be a lifer here. 09:10.060 --> 09:15.960 And at the time I was like, yes, I do. No, don't tell me. 09:16.220 --> 09:19.900 But it was devastating at the time. And that was one of my first lessons, 09:20.080 --> 09:25.880 learning what can seem so bad at the time. God uses all things for good for those who believe. 09:27.380 --> 09:32.060 And as I rolled and then from that point on, I was always an entrepreneur. 09:32.400 --> 09:38.700 I put one of the first things. My sister popped a waterbed in a third story apartment building. 09:38.700 --> 09:41.500 And I became a carpet cleaner. Okay. 09:42.080 --> 09:48.760 For three years, I built this big carpet cleaning business and out of necessity, right? 09:49.060 --> 09:53.560 Well, then I was in Wilmer Treatment Center. 09:53.800 --> 09:57.960 Went in there for a month of treatment. I kept getting DWIs in the 80s. 09:58.840 --> 10:02.680 And so I go into Wilmer Treatment Center in the middle of the night. 10:03.040 --> 10:06.500 This guy says, and usually like I say, I wouldn't talk to people. 10:06.500 --> 10:10.140 It would be like me being straight. It would be like, you know, that uneasy feeling. 10:10.320 --> 10:13.760 You're getting an elevator. So him and I are both sitting down there at three in the morning. 10:14.080 --> 10:19.360 And it's all quiet. It's why we're both staring at the TV. I don't even know if it was on. 10:21.200 --> 10:27.580 And I said, well, what do you do? Or how did you get here? 10:27.940 --> 10:30.200 Or what did you used to do before you got here? 10:30.560 --> 10:34.280 He says, oh, I'm from California. And I ran this lunch wagon business. 10:35.000 --> 10:40.080 I said, what do you mean? He says, well, we pull up to businesses, open them up 10:40.080 --> 10:43.520 and everybody come out and buy off these lunch wagons. I'm going, really? 10:44.260 --> 10:46.800 So I talked to him about it for about 10 minutes. 10:47.700 --> 10:51.940 Four hours later, I called my buddy and I said, I'm going to be out of here in 14 days. 10:52.280 --> 10:57.120 The minimum stay there was 28 days, but nobody got done in 28 days. 10:57.360 --> 10:59.620 It would take a month or two months or three months. 10:59.620 --> 11:04.680 And I said, come up with some research and talk to him. 11:05.100 --> 11:07.820 I said, come up with $8,000. We're going to start a new business. 11:08.220 --> 11:09.140 I said, we're going to be rich. 11:10.440 --> 11:15.180 So he picked me up on that 28th day. 11:15.400 --> 11:18.800 It's the earliest day ever released, the one where I worked my tail off in there. 11:19.120 --> 11:23.820 And when you're in addiction, these counselors, I could not have forgotten more about addiction 11:23.820 --> 11:26.260 than they would ever know. So you just played the game back then. 11:26.260 --> 11:31.200 And so they released me and he picked me up. 11:31.560 --> 11:37.380 And within two months, I had built this business and on the west side of the city, 11:37.520 --> 11:40.520 there was a company called Augies on the other side of the Twin Cities. 11:41.100 --> 11:44.820 And I had built up the whole western half and I went there going door to door 11:44.820 --> 11:51.000 to every single United mailing, these companies back then. 11:51.920 --> 11:55.700 All these different industrial park companies that were there. 11:55.700 --> 12:00.240 I went door to door and I would get nose and I come back and I'm not taking no for an answer. 12:00.240 --> 12:05.200 I tried to work my way up to the top guy and I go, yeah, I find out the person above them. 12:05.240 --> 12:07.880 I come back the next day. Yeah, I'm here to see so-and-so. 12:08.460 --> 12:11.300 He goes, well, who are you? And I said, I got a good plan here for your food. 12:11.660 --> 12:14.520 And so finally I get to the top. He goes, you're so persistent. 12:15.040 --> 12:18.180 And then one day, I needed to get this one company. 12:18.320 --> 12:19.620 I believe it was United Mailing. 12:20.140 --> 12:24.820 And I went there and I finally got a meeting with the president and he said, 12:24.820 --> 12:26.860 no, because it was changing a paradigm. 12:27.280 --> 12:31.860 It was changing an advertised paradigm where they'd have to go out of their building 12:31.860 --> 12:35.340 to get food off this wagon rather than from their vending machines 12:35.340 --> 12:37.920 or from their in-house, whatever they did in-house. 12:38.400 --> 12:41.480 And I told him, I said, here's the benefits that I see. 12:42.120 --> 12:43.840 You know, you wouldn't have to be driving into town. 12:43.940 --> 12:46.840 We have hot sandwiches. We have all this stuff that I put out there. 12:46.840 --> 12:49.600 And I said, how about this? I said, I believe in it so much. 12:49.840 --> 12:52.300 I said, I'll give every single person you have. 12:52.300 --> 12:56.180 If they come out a free sandwich or free anything, they want up the truck of the food. 12:56.360 --> 13:00.120 I figured maybe I could sell the pops and everything else to make up for that. 13:00.160 --> 13:01.140 Maybe break even, right? 13:01.660 --> 13:03.880 And they had, like, I don't know, 500 employees. 13:04.460 --> 13:06.540 And he looks at me. He goes, you do that. 13:06.580 --> 13:07.820 I said, I'll do it all week long. 13:07.960 --> 13:09.940 I said, and then you can make your decision. 13:10.320 --> 13:11.280 Then if you'll do it. 13:11.620 --> 13:14.620 Of course, my partner at the time, the guy got to go, you did what? 13:15.780 --> 13:16.940 We don't have any money. 13:17.200 --> 13:18.540 I said, we got sandwiches. 13:22.040 --> 13:24.640 Anyway, we did that after the week. 13:25.240 --> 13:30.960 That opened the door to what was amazing over the next three years. 13:31.180 --> 13:36.040 We built on just a fleet of trucks and all these employees. 13:36.340 --> 13:41.340 But then at the same time, I ended up, I was bartending at a bar, 13:41.660 --> 13:43.520 a Hizzleting golf course in Nijaska. 13:44.080 --> 13:47.760 And I ended up able to buy that on a contract for deed 13:47.760 --> 13:49.520 because I had worked for the owner for so long. 13:50.580 --> 13:53.640 And so I buy that on a contract and we split partners. 13:54.040 --> 13:58.140 But the bottom line is, things would come up and I would take advantage. 13:58.340 --> 13:59.600 I had nobody handed me any money. 13:59.800 --> 14:01.720 It was always work, work, work. 14:02.360 --> 14:06.620 And then, like I say, I was on a parallel track. 14:06.820 --> 14:11.020 I was a really bad cocaine alcohol, but I wouldn't mix the two. 14:12.180 --> 14:15.980 If I was there working, I wasn't on the drugs. 14:15.980 --> 14:19.840 I almost got addicted to entrepreneurship at the time. 14:20.960 --> 14:22.800 But then I got into bars. 14:23.020 --> 14:26.560 I bought a bar in 1990 at Smitty's Tavern in Victoria, 14:26.780 --> 14:28.180 which I had for 13 years. 14:29.180 --> 14:32.060 And there I got in towards the tail end and got into crack cocaine. 14:32.240 --> 14:33.020 I switched to crack. 14:36.200 --> 14:38.300 And at that, I always looked back. 14:38.500 --> 14:40.500 I said, you know, I was functioning on this. 14:41.040 --> 14:43.940 I tell my wife, I said, you know, if crack hadn't came along, 14:43.940 --> 14:46.080 you know, I might still be on cocaine. 14:47.240 --> 14:48.160 Don't say that. 14:48.900 --> 14:53.720 And I said, you know, because it was, you know, it was at the time then, 14:53.900 --> 14:57.880 and I need to tell this part, that there was another thing that happened. 14:58.040 --> 15:01.300 I was also on the Minnesota License Beverage Association Board. 15:02.100 --> 15:04.620 And there were things that were going on where, 15:05.280 --> 15:06.660 but I fought city hall. 15:06.860 --> 15:09.840 We were the first state to have the casinos. 15:10.380 --> 15:12.160 I don't know if you all know that, the Indian casinos. 15:12.160 --> 15:15.340 This was the first state they started here in Jackbuck Junction. 15:15.580 --> 15:17.540 Then went to Mystic Lake and then all over. 15:18.040 --> 15:21.640 Now, when I was in, now at that time, I had my restaurant. 15:22.420 --> 15:23.860 I mean, I had my bar and restaurant. 15:24.500 --> 15:28.140 And then I had two others that I bought a contract for deed for the two years. 15:28.660 --> 15:32.460 But I was always, our poll tab laws, you all know what they are here. 15:32.600 --> 15:33.440 A lot of people don't know. 15:34.480 --> 15:38.300 But our gambling, charitable gambling laws were wrong here. 15:38.720 --> 15:40.520 We couldn't keep going like this. 15:40.520 --> 15:42.780 We could not compete with the casinos. 15:43.320 --> 15:46.300 And then also with the charities because the bars, 15:46.560 --> 15:50.000 what was going on then, the bars and restaurants needed to have it. 15:50.460 --> 15:53.100 If you got, if you were busy, you need to be paid for that. 15:53.180 --> 15:56.480 Otherwise, you couldn't, your labor was just going to kill you 15:56.480 --> 15:58.080 under helping a charity out. 15:58.460 --> 16:02.260 And so anyway, I went out and I checked out Washington state, 16:02.380 --> 16:05.080 which I thought had the best laws in the country at that time. 16:05.560 --> 16:07.200 And I came back here to Minnesota. 16:07.200 --> 16:10.020 And I basically sued City Hall. 16:10.940 --> 16:13.800 I sued them and said, we didn't miss data Minnesota. 16:14.240 --> 16:15.880 We need to change these laws. 16:16.400 --> 16:18.640 Well, I lost on a technicality. 16:18.940 --> 16:22.020 It wasn't rigged, but it was lost on a technicality. 16:22.860 --> 16:25.420 And I lost everything. 16:25.660 --> 16:29.100 My bar business at that time, what it was worth, 16:29.240 --> 16:30.520 basically dropped in half. 16:30.680 --> 16:31.920 I had worked all my life for that. 16:32.280 --> 16:33.820 And overnight I lost it. 16:33.820 --> 16:37.420 And because it wasn't, the value had went down 16:37.420 --> 16:39.400 because I couldn't have any charitable gambling then. 16:39.740 --> 16:40.980 They just said, well, you're not getting nothing 16:40.980 --> 16:42.280 for even bringing this up. 16:43.020 --> 16:46.420 So three and a half years later, as the story goes, 16:47.160 --> 16:49.700 everything I fought for came true in Minnesota. 16:50.600 --> 16:52.080 Everything I had proposed. 16:52.600 --> 16:55.420 It saved the industry, which a lot of people know that. 16:55.600 --> 16:57.920 And I got calls from around the state, 16:58.480 --> 16:59.880 at least five of them saying, 17:00.360 --> 17:01.720 Mike, we know you lost everything, 17:01.720 --> 17:03.460 but we want to thank you for saving us. 17:03.900 --> 17:05.320 And I said, I would do it again 17:05.320 --> 17:07.020 because it was the right thing to do. 17:07.760 --> 17:10.040 We were all going to be doomed. 17:10.720 --> 17:12.240 And the reason I tell you that is because 17:12.240 --> 17:15.200 when that bar, when I said I had to sell it, 17:15.480 --> 17:16.980 I'll never forget, I was bawling. 17:17.720 --> 17:19.040 They were like family. 17:19.720 --> 17:22.480 And I think back now, that was meant to be. 17:23.040 --> 17:24.880 I wouldn't be here. I'd probably be dead, 17:25.540 --> 17:26.380 the way I'd been. 17:26.880 --> 17:28.400 So you have that. 17:28.400 --> 17:29.840 And then anyway, 17:30.620 --> 17:33.300 so I invented my pillow in 2004. 17:34.060 --> 17:35.360 Shortly a year after, 17:35.540 --> 17:36.960 I spent a year inventing it, 17:37.220 --> 17:38.940 pouring everything I had into it. 17:39.140 --> 17:40.840 And I, because I had this dream, 17:40.920 --> 17:42.340 I actually had the dream of my pillow 17:42.340 --> 17:44.780 before even the invention actual pillow. 17:45.120 --> 17:47.120 But once again, it was problem solution. 17:47.520 --> 17:48.940 Remember, on a parallel track, 17:49.000 --> 17:51.780 though I still was, no, I was heavily addicted to crack cocaine. 17:52.140 --> 17:54.760 So I was, I came in two people over here, over here. 17:55.200 --> 17:57.320 My kids and I, we'd be in the backyard 17:57.320 --> 17:59.360 tearing up trying different things in pillows. 17:59.560 --> 18:01.220 I had problems with pillows all my life. 18:01.760 --> 18:04.120 I wanted to, you know, one would be too flat, too hard. 18:04.200 --> 18:07.020 I'd use my arm and have a, you know, kink in the morning, 18:07.540 --> 18:08.980 flip-flop all night like a guppy. 18:09.120 --> 18:10.040 I say that in my commercial. 18:10.640 --> 18:12.840 Your arms asleep in the morning, you know, all these things. 18:13.780 --> 18:15.740 And I knew there had to be something better. 18:16.320 --> 18:18.820 And so I finally get that invention. 18:19.000 --> 18:19.900 I was turned down everywhere. 18:20.640 --> 18:22.080 I was turned down everywhere. 18:23.620 --> 18:24.940 All the box stores. 18:24.940 --> 18:26.680 Boy, that's come full circle, huh? 18:27.420 --> 18:29.960 You know, and in fact, I went into Bed Bathroom Beyond 18:29.960 --> 18:32.280 back in 2004 in Bloomington. 18:32.620 --> 18:34.080 And I walked in there with this pillow, 18:34.320 --> 18:36.060 because now we had it.

We're sitting there just him and I. 01:11:49.040 --> 01:11:51.660 And at the desk, we're talking like we're usually doing. 01:11:52.140 --> 01:11:54.400 He goes, Mike, they're just destroying the country. 01:11:54.740 --> 01:11:58.140 And I said, sir, remember, he had like, I don't know, three, four indictments by then. 01:11:58.200 --> 01:12:00.700 Every time he got indicted, he'd get more votes piling his bucket. 01:12:00.700 --> 01:12:03.600 Anyway, I said, sir, I said, God uses it. 01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:05.400 I said, God's given us grace. 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:09.080 If you'd have been put back in back then, we'd have lost the country forever. 01:12:09.400 --> 01:12:12.040 If I'd have been their marketer, I said, get him back in there. 01:12:12.260 --> 01:12:13.560 We'll keep attacking him till he's out. 01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:15.600 And boom, we keep boiling my goldfish. 01:12:15.780 --> 01:12:18.620 And we'll tell him socialism is good until he's out. 01:12:18.840 --> 01:12:20.700 And then we'll just hammer it, just like they did. 01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:24.400 Because evil is greedy. Our biggest advantage, everybody, is evil is greedy. 01:12:25.220 --> 01:12:27.620 Okay, so here I'm telling the president, I go, sir, 01:12:28.280 --> 01:12:30.140 all these bad things are actually good things. 01:12:30.140 --> 01:12:32.820 He looks at me and goes, they don't feel like good things. 01:12:33.360 --> 01:12:35.260 And I go, here's why. 01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:36.540 I said, there's two buckets. 01:12:37.320 --> 01:12:38.240 There's your bucket. 01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:40.820 This is the new party of common sense. 01:12:41.660 --> 01:12:43.820 The common sense, which we need in Minnesota. 01:12:44.240 --> 01:12:46.440 We are the tip of the spear for common sense. 01:12:46.700 --> 01:12:48.280 It's gone. We led the charge. 01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.180 When I said we took out of the schools and got out of the country, 01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:52.700 it started here in Minnesota. 01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:55.520 Look at the Islam and the Muslims. 01:12:55.820 --> 01:12:58.040 We've got to ban Sharia law. This is disgusting. 01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:00.560 So anyway, here we are. 01:13:01.160 --> 01:13:03.220 I go, sir, this bucket is your bucket. 01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:06.300 People are pouring in. I'm not talking about the party. 01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:08.000 I'm talking about the people. 01:13:08.400 --> 01:13:10.920 I have Democrat friends, liberal friends, conservative friends. 01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:12.580 And I said, the more they're attacking, 01:13:12.820 --> 01:13:14.860 the more these nonsensical things are going on. 01:13:15.220 --> 01:13:17.180 Men and women's sports, you can cut up. 01:13:17.380 --> 01:13:19.740 The schools can take your kids and cut them up. 01:13:19.980 --> 01:13:20.880 This is insane. 01:13:21.580 --> 01:13:24.060 And the parents are taking out of the picture in our schools. 01:13:24.460 --> 01:13:27.280 And I said, sir, they know what you stand for. 01:13:27.280 --> 01:13:28.900 And they're jumping in this bucket. 01:13:29.260 --> 01:13:30.760 I said, you might not even have to campaign. 01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:33.080 You might end up with more votes than voters like Pennsylvania. 01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:36.240 I said, hey, hi. And I said, and then I gave it. 01:13:36.280 --> 01:13:38.260 And I said, besides, remember everybody loves you. 01:13:38.380 --> 01:13:39.480 Tom just don't know it yet. 01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:42.020 And so this bucket, I said, the other bucket 01:13:42.020 --> 01:13:44.500 is the bucket for our learned savior, Jesus Christ. 01:13:44.940 --> 01:13:46.280 I said, that bucket, sir, 01:13:46.620 --> 01:13:49.340 people don't look to God when things are going good. 01:13:49.500 --> 01:13:52.320 Just like, sir, when you had December of 2019, 01:13:52.660 --> 01:13:55.180 the highest consumer confidence in history. 01:13:55.340 --> 01:13:56.060 Did you all know that? 01:13:56.060 --> 01:13:57.320 The economy. 01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:00.240 Even if you started it with no forks in the street, 01:14:00.320 --> 01:14:01.260 which I say in my book, 01:14:01.480 --> 01:14:03.040 or you're a forefork or way up here, 01:14:03.300 --> 01:14:05.440 even with foreforks, everybody in between, 01:14:05.580 --> 01:14:06.440 no matter where you started, 01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:08.380 economically, your lives had improved. 01:14:08.660 --> 01:14:09.380 That's a fact. 01:14:09.820 --> 01:14:11.880 And that was the one time in history that it built up. 01:14:12.040 --> 01:14:13.540 And that's in spite of all its attacks. 01:14:13.780 --> 01:14:15.700 But then when it stopped it, the virus. 01:14:15.980 --> 01:14:16.300 They picked it. 01:14:16.380 --> 01:14:17.800 Here's the China virus. Have a nice day. 01:14:18.440 --> 01:14:21.020 So anyway, I said, 01:14:21.420 --> 01:14:23.780 they look to God when things are going bad. 01:14:24.080 --> 01:14:25.760 I said, these last four years 01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:26.900 actually things are going on. 01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:29.080 It's opening people's eyes. 01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:32.360 I said, the people over here that thought they had God, 01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:33.920 the churches, by the way, 01:14:35.020 --> 01:14:36.000 they let us down. 01:14:36.140 --> 01:14:37.740 Maybe it woke them up the last four years. 01:14:37.860 --> 01:14:38.740 I hope it has. 01:14:39.180 --> 01:14:40.340 Because it has to. 01:14:41.140 --> 01:14:41.940 This is what I'm doing. 01:14:42.040 --> 01:14:42.940 I'm going around Minnesota. 01:14:43.400 --> 01:14:44.740 I'm going to get the churches engaged. 01:14:45.060 --> 01:14:45.340 The people. 01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:47.900 Johnson and I don't even know who Johnson was. 01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:49.660 You know, give me a break. 01:14:49.780 --> 01:14:50.420 It's disgusting. 01:14:51.320 --> 01:14:52.440 That's how they just strive. 01:14:52.540 --> 01:14:54.020 The devil tries to keep us down. 01:14:54.540 --> 01:14:56.060 So I tell the president, I said, 01:14:56.140 --> 01:14:57.420 people are pouring in. 01:14:57.540 --> 01:15:00.160 We're in the biggest revival for Jesus Christ in history. 01:15:00.340 --> 01:15:01.680 And I looked at him and I said, 01:15:01.940 --> 01:15:02.840 sir, and besides sir, 01:15:03.100 --> 01:15:03.940 if I'm wrong with believers, 01:15:04.100 --> 01:15:04.680 we all go to heaven. 01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:05.300 It's a win-win. 01:15:05.860 --> 01:15:06.580 And then he looked. 01:15:07.040 --> 01:15:07.940 And then he looks. 01:15:08.400 --> 01:15:09.600 And he looks at me and he goes, 01:15:09.700 --> 01:15:10.020 but Mike. 01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:12.180 He goes, I just don't. 01:15:12.420 --> 01:15:13.740 He goes, it's getting damaged. 01:15:13.900 --> 01:15:15.720 And I don't know if we get it all fixed in four years. 01:15:16.020 --> 01:15:17.500 And I looked at him and I said, 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:19.940 sir, with God, all things are possible. 01:15:20.200 --> 01:15:21.620 And him working through you, 01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:23.500 you'll get it done faster and better 01:15:23.500 --> 01:15:24.180 than anyone. 01:15:24.580 --> 01:15:25.320 And he looked at me and he goes, 01:15:25.480 --> 01:15:26.100 yeah, that's right. 01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:27.900 Sir, sir, sir. 01:15:28.660 --> 01:15:29.620 God bless him. 01:15:29.780 --> 01:15:31.140 He is amazing in me. 01:15:31.620 --> 01:15:32.540 And I'll tell you what. 01:15:35.480 --> 01:15:38.100 So now I told him last August, 01:15:39.260 --> 01:15:40.500 you know, when he won, 01:15:41.060 --> 01:15:42.960 I was attacked by the medium worse than ever. 01:15:43.100 --> 01:15:44.680 The attacks never let up on my pill, 01:15:44.780 --> 01:15:46.660 the most attack company in history 01:15:46.660 --> 01:15:49.140 because I did something. 01:15:49.280 --> 01:15:51.160 I went out about our fraud in our elections. 01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:54.160 And one of my ads against Amy Klobuchar 01:15:54.160 --> 01:15:54.940 is going to be this. 01:15:55.100 --> 01:15:56.320 I want you to see what you think of it. 01:15:57.180 --> 01:15:59.220 Amy Klobuchar and Mike Lindell 01:15:59.220 --> 01:16:01.100 come to a historical agreement. 01:16:01.840 --> 01:16:03.040 I'd click on that, right? 01:16:03.140 --> 01:16:03.960 To see if it was fake. 01:16:04.280 --> 01:16:05.180 Would you all click on it? 01:16:05.620 --> 01:16:06.960 So you click on it. 01:16:07.280 --> 01:16:10.180 And it says, in 2018 and 19, 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:12.900 Mike Lindell and Amy locked arms 01:16:12.900 --> 01:16:15.200 against all the machines to get rid 01:16:15.200 --> 01:16:16.500 of the machines in this country. 01:16:16.740 --> 01:16:18.200 Did you all know Amy Klobuchar 01:16:18.200 --> 01:16:20.020 was the biggest voice in the country? 01:16:20.020 --> 01:16:22.220 No one was even close to Amy. 01:16:22.580 --> 01:16:23.920 She took all the Democrats. 01:16:24.260 --> 01:16:26.280 And she named the machine companies 01:16:26.280 --> 01:16:27.240 without getting sued. 01:16:27.380 --> 01:16:27.880 What a concept. 01:16:28.380 --> 01:16:29.240 She named them all. 01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:31.220 By the way, we have all three of them 01:16:31.220 --> 01:16:33.020 in Minnesota where one of the few states 01:16:33.020 --> 01:16:33.920 would have all three. 01:16:34.300 --> 01:16:35.000 When I win the primary, 01:16:35.140 --> 01:16:36.560 we have access to the source code. 01:16:36.860 --> 01:16:38.500 We're going to make Minnesota this election 01:16:38.500 --> 01:16:40.460 and Minnesota the safest it can be 01:16:40.460 --> 01:16:41.560 with the cards were dealt. 01:16:42.060 --> 01:16:43.320 That's what they were going to do. 01:16:43.660 --> 01:16:44.380 But Amy now, 01:16:44.660 --> 01:16:46.760 what did Amy do since she voiced 01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:48.900 the loudest voice against the fraud 01:16:48.900 --> 01:16:49.520 with the elections? 01:16:50.060 --> 01:16:51.420 And what did Mike Lindell do? 01:16:51.660 --> 01:16:52.460 Well, Mike Lindell 01:16:52.460 --> 01:16:54.160 went and spent $80 million 01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:56.240 borrowed another ten, 01:16:56.580 --> 01:16:58.680 spent everything he has in the world 01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:00.220 to stop the fraud 01:17:00.220 --> 01:17:01.620 to help save our country. 01:17:02.160 --> 01:17:03.420 What did Amy do since then? 01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:04.960 She ignored this fraud. 01:17:05.340 --> 01:17:06.200 She went to Washington 01:17:06.200 --> 01:17:08.340 and got $25 billion 01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:10.400 to bring into Minnesota 01:17:10.400 --> 01:17:12.420 only have it stolen by fraud. 01:17:13.040 --> 01:17:14.180 To have it stolen by fraud. 01:17:14.260 --> 01:17:15.520 Not a good steward of your money, Amy. 01:17:15.860 --> 01:17:16.760 I can't wait for that. 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:18.200 I can't wait for it later. 01:17:19.160 --> 01:17:20.280 Amy and I, we go back 01:17:20.280 --> 01:17:21.660 and I'll say it's going to be fun 01:17:21.660 --> 01:17:22.780 going after her. 01:17:24.220 --> 01:17:25.720 So now I'm going to tell you 01:17:26.200 --> 01:17:28.180 when I told the president last August 01:17:28.780 --> 01:17:29.980 I said, sir, I said, 01:17:30.020 --> 01:17:31.540 I bring him my stuff we talk about. 01:17:31.700 --> 01:17:33.320 We have a list of stuff I'll bring up concerns 01:17:33.320 --> 01:17:35.280 to the country, to people. 01:17:36.660 --> 01:17:38.280 And we talked in the office 01:17:38.280 --> 01:17:40.060 and out of the blue I just turned to him. 01:17:40.160 --> 01:17:42.060 I said, and I'm considering running 01:17:42.060 --> 01:17:42.940 for governor of Minnesota. 01:17:43.620 --> 01:17:44.600 And for the first time 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:45.360 he was kind of speechless. 01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:46.660 He's thinking of Waltz, right? 01:17:46.660 --> 01:17:47.860 Vice president. 01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:50.820 And he goes, and I said, I don't want an answer. 01:17:50.940 --> 01:17:51.640 I'm not asking for anything. 01:17:51.720 --> 01:17:54.160 I said, I just wanted to tell you ahead of time 01:17:54.160 --> 01:17:56.520 because I said, Kendra and I have to pray for it. 01:17:56.620 --> 01:17:57.320 Pray about it. 01:17:57.460 --> 01:17:58.420 He knows my wife well. 01:17:58.620 --> 01:18:00.320 He prays for him with the whole time. 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:02.660 And he goes, I said, we need to pray about it. 01:18:02.860 --> 01:18:04.960 And I said, another thing that has to happen 01:18:05.400 --> 01:18:06.700 is I said, my pillow 01:18:06.700 --> 01:18:08.340 has to finally get secure 01:18:08.340 --> 01:18:10.980 after two and a half years of attacks. 01:18:11.240 --> 01:18:12.980 And I said, if they're not secure, 01:18:13.360 --> 01:18:15.240 I can't leave them as I have guided them 01:18:15.240 --> 01:18:16.820 through this most like bombs 01:18:16.820 --> 01:18:18.600 and shoot in a boat every day 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:19.900 that you can't even fathom. 01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:22.660 And I said, if that happens, 01:18:22.720 --> 01:18:24.140 because I said, when I go into something, 01:18:24.220 --> 01:18:25.620 I go 100% all in. 01:18:26.040 --> 01:18:27.380 And I want to be 100%. 01:18:27.380 --> 01:18:28.720 So we prayed to God. 01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.380 We kind of threw out like a fleece in the Bible. 01:18:30.860 --> 01:18:32.440 If you get my pillow secure, I'm running. 01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:33.420 I know that's your will. 01:18:33.940 --> 01:18:35.760 And shortly after Thanksgiving, 01:18:35.960 --> 01:18:36.700 early December, 01:18:38.040 --> 01:18:40.360 I was given that my pillow was secure. 01:18:41.280 --> 01:18:42.960 And I called up the president. 01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:44.700 And I said, and he didn't answer. 01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:45.780 He always answered personally, 01:18:45.820 --> 01:18:46.620 but he was a little later, 01:18:46.660 --> 01:18:47.760 so he's already in the old lobs. 01:18:48.080 --> 01:18:49.320 I text him and I said, sir, 01:18:49.340 --> 01:18:50.500 I really need to talk to you. 01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:51.180 It's really important. 01:18:51.460 --> 01:18:52.580 So he gets back on the phone, 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:54.040 two seconds he goes, he goes, 01:18:54.340 --> 01:18:54.700 what is it? 01:18:54.780 --> 01:18:55.860 He goes, I got to go into this thing. 01:18:55.900 --> 01:18:57.700 And I said, I am going to run for governor. 01:18:57.880 --> 01:18:59.600 I didn't want you to hear about it in news. 01:19:00.300 --> 01:19:01.540 And 40 minutes later, 01:19:01.900 --> 01:19:03.460 okay, he's going, hey, 01:19:03.860 --> 01:19:04.640 I'll be there in a minute. 01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:06.960 And what did he do in that call? 01:19:07.820 --> 01:19:09.640 It was a call I'll never forget. 01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:11.840 It was like an encouraging call 01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:12.960 like you would be a mentor. 01:19:13.460 --> 01:19:13.880 He goes, Mike, 01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:15.460 when I came down that elevator 01:19:15.460 --> 01:19:17.900 and God chose me for such a time as this, 01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:19.520 which I've told him so many times, right? 01:19:19.860 --> 01:19:20.920 He's telling me, he goes, 01:19:21.200 --> 01:19:22.280 you running for governor. 01:19:22.700 --> 01:19:23.900 He goes, you got one shot. 01:19:24.200 --> 01:19:24.960 I picked you. 01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:26.060 I'm going, wow, 01:19:26.140 --> 01:19:28.340 I'm getting the same thing took back to me. 01:19:28.440 --> 01:19:29.140 It was just surreal. 01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:30.340 It was surreal. 01:19:30.620 --> 01:19:31.800 I'm going, and I said, 01:19:32.280 --> 01:19:33.700 and he says, I got you back. 01:19:34.060 --> 01:19:36.740 And now, and then it says, 01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:38.380 well, why didn't you ask him 01:19:38.380 --> 01:19:39.400 for your endorsement first? 01:19:39.900 --> 01:19:40.500 Here's why. 01:19:40.940 --> 01:19:42.440 He would have done it as a friend. 01:19:42.580 --> 01:19:43.260 I didn't want that. 01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:44.820 I want to be endorsed 01:19:44.820 --> 01:19:46.200 and I wanted all of you to know 01:19:46.200 --> 01:19:47.920 I'm doing it because I want to win. 01:19:48.100 --> 01:19:49.040 We have to win. 01:19:49.440 --> 01:19:50.480 I'm going to be done 01:19:50.480 --> 01:19:51.500 based on merit 01:19:51.500 --> 01:19:53.220 of what I've learned so far. 01:19:53.500 --> 01:19:54.800 He spent four years learning 01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:55.640 what he was going to do 01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:56.420 in these last four, 01:19:56.800 --> 01:19:57.740 in these next four years. 01:19:57.960 --> 01:19:59.080 I've spent the last year 01:19:59.080 --> 01:20:00.020 going around Minnesota 01:20:00.020 --> 01:20:01.680 meeting with farmers, teachers, 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:02.340 inner city. 01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:03.240 You name it. 01:20:03.460 --> 01:20:04.060 Meet with them all. 01:20:04.180 --> 01:20:05.620 What are the problems you have? 01:20:06.060 --> 01:20:06.820 And then, and then now 01:20:06.820 --> 01:20:08.260 I have the fixes lined up, 01:20:08.340 --> 01:20:09.860 which I can tell you real quick, 01:20:09.860 --> 01:20:11.460 some about at least five. 01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:14.080 But once something happened, 01:20:14.240 --> 01:20:15.160 as we rolled into, 01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:16.920 I got Rick from my campaign manager 01:20:17.500 --> 01:20:18.440 and Larry and all of this 01:20:18.440 --> 01:20:19.800 whole great team came on. 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:24.200 And we get this team 01:20:24.200 --> 01:20:24.720 and they come on. 01:20:24.780 --> 01:20:26.220 I didn't know a thing about campaigning. 01:20:26.700 --> 01:20:27.840 I did nothing other than 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:28.580 helping the president. 01:20:29.040 --> 01:20:29.740 It was pretty easy 01:20:29.740 --> 01:20:30.880 to go around and tell people, 01:20:31.060 --> 01:20:32.000 you know, here's where we're at. 01:20:32.080 --> 01:20:33.080 It was great doing rallies 01:20:33.080 --> 01:20:34.940 and events and town halls. 01:20:35.120 --> 01:20:36.420 I did with them and fundraiser. 01:20:36.860 --> 01:20:37.480 So I did. 01:20:38.260 --> 01:20:39.140 In the meantime, 01:20:39.140 --> 01:20:40.220 I got a parallel track 01:20:40.220 --> 01:20:42.080 meeting all the politicians. 01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:43.060 By the way, 01:20:43.100 --> 01:20:45.100 there's only two secretariat states 01:20:45.100 --> 01:20:46.240 in this country 01:20:46.240 --> 01:20:47.020 that I would even let 01:20:47.020 --> 01:20:47.680 and not my house. 01:20:48.380 --> 01:20:49.420 And one of them I haven't met. 01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:50.640 I just heard he might be okay. 01:20:51.260 --> 01:20:53.580 That's how bad our elected officials 01:20:53.580 --> 01:20:54.900 are within the secretariat states. 01:20:55.200 --> 01:20:55.800 Turning generals, 01:20:55.900 --> 01:20:57.560 he got about 10 that are good. 01:20:57.900 --> 01:20:58.480 I mean, there's hope. 01:20:59.440 --> 01:21:01.080 But the secretary of states, 01:21:01.400 --> 01:21:01.900 the worst. 01:21:02.360 --> 01:21:03.820 Remember, they control our elections too. 01:21:05.360 --> 01:21:06.040 So anyway, 01:21:08.220 --> 01:21:10.100 so we start campaigning. 01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:11.300 And I'm going, 01:21:11.460 --> 01:21:12.080 what are we doing? 01:21:12.380 --> 01:21:13.560 So the first thing is 01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:14.860 the money's pouring into me. 01:21:15.460 --> 01:21:15.960 Money's pouring in 01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:17.040 because people want to help me 01:21:17.040 --> 01:21:17.780 with the national, 01:21:18.160 --> 01:21:19.420 my national presence, right? 01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:21.100 And the money starts pouring in, 01:21:21.180 --> 01:21:22.680 but yet we got to go around 01:21:22.680 --> 01:21:23.640 to these, 01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:24.920 these meetings 01:21:25.620 --> 01:21:27.840 to get the GOP endorsement. 01:21:28.320 --> 01:21:29.120 And so we, 01:21:29.200 --> 01:21:30.340 I would go to these meetings 01:21:31.120 --> 01:21:32.840 and there'd be the other candidates 01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:34.080 and I'd get like three minutes 01:21:34.080 --> 01:21:34.760 to talk 01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:35.940 or four minutes. 01:21:36.500 --> 01:21:37.180 And I'm going, 01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:38.000 okay, 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:40.360 I got Lisa Damoth over here going, 01:21:40.860 --> 01:21:41.100 you know, 01:21:41.740 --> 01:21:42.580 by the way, 01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:44.060 a week later the fraud came out. 01:21:44.480 --> 01:21:45.540 When the fraud came out, 01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:46.000 by the way, 01:21:46.400 --> 01:21:48.540 the biggest blessing this state has had 01:21:48.540 --> 01:21:50.320 in a long, long time. 01:21:50.900 --> 01:21:52.760 And if you can't see that as a blessing, 01:21:53.140 --> 01:21:54.380 the 2020 election 01:21:54.380 --> 01:21:56.940 was probably the biggest election blessing in history 01:21:56.940 --> 01:21:58.800 because it opened people's eyes. 01:21:59.100 --> 01:21:59.600 We were done. 01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:01.200 If we went to bed that night, 01:22:01.260 --> 01:22:02.280 if they predicted right, 01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:04.680 we would have all woke up in the morning, 01:22:04.860 --> 01:22:05.500 Biden would have won, 01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:07.400 all the counting would have been in by 1 a.m. 01:22:07.760 --> 01:22:08.660 and we'd have woke up 01:22:08.660 --> 01:22:10.060 and you know what we just said to everybody, 01:22:10.180 --> 01:22:11.040 we just said, you know, 01:22:11.100 --> 01:22:11.920 we did it to ourselves, 01:22:12.100 --> 01:22:13.840 we let them take God out of our schools 01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:15.580 and then we had turned it back on God, 01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:17.220 all of our children and children, 01:22:17.580 --> 01:22:18.440 they've all went woke, 01:22:18.580 --> 01:22:19.260 they've all went nuts, 01:22:19.460 --> 01:22:20.480 they like transvestors 01:22:20.480 --> 01:22:21.340 and all this crap. 01:22:21.880 --> 01:22:22.560 So seriously, 01:22:23.540 --> 01:22:24.720 that's what we would have thought, 01:22:25.120 --> 01:22:26.420 but that wasn't real. 01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:28.360 And I don't have to sit and tell you, 01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:29.680 I know for a fact, 01:22:29.780 --> 01:22:31.660 and it would take me too long to tell you why, 01:22:31.660 --> 01:22:34.800 this country is 66% red. 01:22:35.180 --> 01:22:36.260 Did you know that? 01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:37.600 They've lied to us, 01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:39.100 isn't it funny that every election, 01:22:39.400 --> 01:22:40.400 oh it's 50-50, 01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:41.820 now it's 49-51, 01:22:42.040 --> 01:22:42.940 and now it's our turn. 01:22:43.320 --> 01:22:45.600 It's the Uniparty Deep State Globalists 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:46.740 that have taken us over. 01:22:47.220 --> 01:22:47.960 It's disgusting. 01:22:48.860 --> 01:22:50.400 So when we roll in today, 01:22:50.560 --> 01:22:51.480 and get these debates, 01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:53.140 and I got Lisa Deimuth over here, 01:22:53.320 --> 01:22:55.040 and I don't like badmouth and other people, 01:22:55.460 --> 01:22:57.380 but she's over here bragging about something 01:22:57.380 --> 01:22:59.200 she did with fraud a year and a half ago, 01:22:59.460 --> 01:23:00.540 she's a speaker of the house, 01:23:00.540 --> 01:23:01.480 and then she goes, 01:23:01.580 --> 01:23:02.920 but the Democrats stopped me. 01:23:03.220 --> 01:23:04.120 Well, good for you special. 01:23:04.380 --> 01:23:05.820 Why didn't you yell to the people 01:23:05.820 --> 01:23:07.260 that we got fraud? 01:23:08.100 --> 01:23:09.380 This is crazy. 01:23:10.120 --> 01:23:11.560 You know, you got me in there as governor. 01:23:11.740 --> 01:23:12.220 You're going to hear, 01:23:12.360 --> 01:23:13.980 we get a blocker in that Democrat, 01:23:14.180 --> 01:23:15.160 a Republican blocker. 01:23:15.300 --> 01:23:16.480 You're going to hear about it, 01:23:16.500 --> 01:23:17.800 like you've never heard about it before. 01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:18.720 We're going to put billboards 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:19.780 around and around the state. 01:23:20.200 --> 01:23:22.720 This person's blocking this common sense issue. 01:23:22.940 --> 01:23:24.800 We want to get rid of the satanic statue 01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:25.480 and the Capitol. 01:23:25.780 --> 01:23:26.800 Is there a problem with that? 01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:29.600 You know, you can't make this up. 01:23:30.420 --> 01:23:32.340 We want to bring back our state flag. 01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:33.340 That's common sense. 01:23:35.040 --> 01:23:36.700 Maybe at least have a vote on it. 01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:38.280 It's unbelievable. 01:23:39.040 --> 01:23:39.700 So you're going to hear, 01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:40.780 so I'm sorry, 01:23:41.180 --> 01:23:42.180 the same old input 01:23:42.180 --> 01:23:43.720 gets you the same old output. 01:23:44.060 --> 01:23:45.060 Now, people have said, 01:23:45.160 --> 01:23:46.240 well, Mike, you're not going to, 01:23:46.240 --> 01:23:46.960 you're not going to, 01:23:47.060 --> 01:23:50.820 if you don't get the GOP endorsement, 01:23:51.060 --> 01:23:52.280 that you're not going out of that. 01:23:52.380 --> 01:23:52.880 No, I'm not. 01:23:53.260 --> 01:23:54.280 And there's a reason I'm not. 01:23:54.480 --> 01:23:55.600 They did a poll in Minnesota 01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:56.660 a couple of months ago, 01:23:56.680 --> 01:23:58.000 right before I was going to the president 01:23:58.000 --> 01:23:58.940 of the people. 01:23:58.940 --> 01:24:00.600 All those little straw pulls. 01:24:00.740 --> 01:24:01.220 I was third. 01:24:01.440 --> 01:24:03.060 But the people of Minnesota 01:24:03.060 --> 01:24:03.580 that voted, 01:24:03.740 --> 01:24:05.160 I was in first place. 01:24:05.360 --> 01:24:06.160 I had a deal with them. 01:24:06.260 --> 01:24:06.640 Then Kendall, 01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:08.380 the people wanted that. 01:24:08.640 --> 01:24:09.360 Now, I did. 01:24:09.480 --> 01:24:10.680 I've been down this road before 01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:12.280 when I ran for RNC chair. 01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:14.380 The night before that election, 01:24:14.380 --> 01:24:16.300 I doubled Harmie Dillon and 01:24:16.300 --> 01:24:17.760 Ron and McDaniel in the country 01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:18.300 combined. 01:24:18.740 --> 01:24:20.680 Then 168 people, 01:24:20.780 --> 01:24:21.840 three from every state, 01:24:22.080 --> 01:24:22.860 did their vote. 01:24:23.200 --> 01:24:24.540 I got four votes. 01:24:25.420 --> 01:24:25.760 Okay. 01:24:26.020 --> 01:24:27.180 But I'll tell you the good. 01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:28.280 And I'm looking at God. 01:24:28.280 --> 01:24:29.220 Why did I do this? 01:24:29.360 --> 01:24:30.640 Well, the good that came out of that 01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:32.180 was a thing that was passed. 01:24:32.480 --> 01:24:35.400 A resolution that I stayed on with it. 01:24:35.660 --> 01:24:36.840 And I called out Harmie. 01:24:37.320 --> 01:24:38.540 She's as bad as she was. 01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:39.560 And Ron and McDaniel, 01:24:39.640 --> 01:24:40.760 we already knew we had problems. 01:24:41.400 --> 01:24:42.540 So the rat in there was 01:24:42.540 --> 01:24:43.860 it was Harmie in that thing. 01:24:44.300 --> 01:24:45.300 And one of their lawyers, 01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:46.440 in fact, my speech, 01:24:46.580 --> 01:24:47.940 maybe that's why they didn't endorse me. 01:24:48.220 --> 01:24:49.340 I said the first thing I'm going to do 01:24:49.340 --> 01:24:51.760 is fire the lawyers within these 168. 01:24:52.460 --> 01:24:53.560 That was my speech. 01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:56.100 You got bad lawyers over here. 01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:57.800 I don't care. 01:24:58.680 --> 01:24:59.800 I wasn't going to win anyway, 01:24:59.880 --> 01:25:00.440 the way it looked like. 01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:02.140 But we got a resolution passed 01:25:02.140 --> 01:25:03.700 that following summer 01:25:03.700 --> 01:25:05.420 with help from Ron and McDaniel. 01:25:06.460 --> 01:25:07.320 Believe it or not. 01:25:07.540 --> 01:25:09.100 And the West room, because I ran, 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:10.780 they had heard the common sense 01:25:10.780 --> 01:25:11.920 that I had said before them. 01:25:12.020 --> 01:25:13.900 And the flaws that were in the RNC. 01:25:14.380 --> 01:25:16.020 And I said this resolution needs 01:25:16.020 --> 01:25:17.260 to be passed for the future. 01:25:17.820 --> 01:25:18.400 And it was passed. 01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:19.200 You know what it says? 01:25:19.780 --> 01:25:22.080 It says same day voting, paper ballots, 01:25:22.560 --> 01:25:24.540 hand counted, voter ID, 01:25:25.020 --> 01:25:25.820 precinct level. 01:25:26.160 --> 01:25:27.900 This is what a perfect election will be. 01:25:28.200 --> 01:25:30.860 It's in our resolution now in the RNC 01:25:30.860 --> 01:25:32.360 because of what happened back then. 01:25:32.740 --> 01:25:35.020 Right now, that's Save America Act 01:25:35.020 --> 01:25:35.740 to pass that. 01:25:36.100 --> 01:25:37.380 That's the number one thing 01:25:37.380 --> 01:25:38.540 the president is doing. 01:25:38.940 --> 01:25:39.620 He knows it. 01:25:39.900 --> 01:25:40.500 We have to... 01:25:40.500 --> 01:25:41.520 It's like taking... 01:25:41.520 --> 01:25:43.040 You take pieces of an election. 01:25:43.300 --> 01:25:44.620 With all the ways they steal. 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:46.320 You take that chunk out. 01:25:46.560 --> 01:25:47.860 And now we have an election. 01:25:48.260 --> 01:25:49.280 And now it's going to be 01:25:49.280 --> 01:25:50.240 more blatant over here, 01:25:50.320 --> 01:25:51.000 the deviations. 01:25:51.260 --> 01:25:52.420 Because you don't have these 01:25:52.420 --> 01:25:53.920 illegals to use, their names. 01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:55.440 So you're trimming the names now. 01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:56.820 Places like Wisconsin, 01:25:57.420 --> 01:25:58.280 they're kind of doomed. 01:25:58.460 --> 01:25:59.160 The president just... 01:25:59.160 --> 01:26:00.340 I just told him this the other day. 01:26:00.480 --> 01:26:01.580 It's in our booklet I gave him. 01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:03.940 900 pages of my team. 01:26:04.200 --> 01:26:06.520 I built a team of 300,000 people 01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:07.920 in the last four years 01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:09.000 across this country 01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:10.440 called Cause of America. 01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:11.780 That's on vocal, too. 01:26:12.080 --> 01:26:14.160 They worked hard in every county in this country 01:26:14.160 --> 01:26:15.420 to secure our elections, 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:17.240 to try and get to paper ballots, 01:26:17.360 --> 01:26:17.800 hand counted, 01:26:18.060 --> 01:26:19.280 get rid of the voting machines, 01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:21.120 clean our voter rolls, 01:26:21.220 --> 01:26:22.000 and do all this stuff. 01:26:22.360 --> 01:26:22.860 In Wisconsin, 01:26:22.860 --> 01:26:25.980 there's 7.2 million names 01:26:25.980 --> 01:26:27.500 on their voter rolls. 01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:29.980 If everyone in Wisconsin voted 01:26:29.980 --> 01:26:30.960 that could vote, 01:26:31.060 --> 01:26:32.180 it's 4.1 million. 01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:34.320 Now, you think about that. 01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:35.880 It's disgusting. 01:26:36.500 --> 01:26:37.460 So they can pull it here. 01:26:37.560 --> 01:26:38.080 We need a name. 01:26:38.340 --> 01:26:38.920 We need a name. 01:26:39.080 --> 01:26:39.560 We need a name. 01:26:39.900 --> 01:26:40.440 We need a name. 01:26:40.840 --> 01:26:41.360 It's disgusting. 01:26:42.540 --> 01:26:43.080 So anyway, 01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:45.020 so we get into these 01:26:45.020 --> 01:26:46.300 and I'm not getting the word out 01:26:46.300 --> 01:26:47.260 of how I'm gonna win. 01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:49.620 You have to win this election in Minnesota. 01:26:50.240 --> 01:26:51.100 You have to win. 01:26:51.340 --> 01:26:52.180 We have to win. 01:26:52.180 --> 01:26:53.360 It isn't just, 01:26:53.460 --> 01:26:54.680 oh, this candidate's better 01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:55.760 because they're a politician 01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:56.700 that can talk smart. 01:26:57.180 --> 01:26:57.880 Well, I'm sorry. 01:26:58.060 --> 01:26:58.920 I'm a businessman 01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.180 and I saw problems like our president. 01:27:01.740 --> 01:27:02.180 That's it. 01:27:03.280 --> 01:27:05.180 And then the first, 01:27:05.420 --> 01:27:06.800 the first thing, 01:27:07.440 --> 01:27:09.280 the only media outlet, 01:27:09.940 --> 01:27:11.340 other than the first day I announced, 01:27:11.440 --> 01:27:12.520 they had to kind of cover that. 01:27:12.740 --> 01:27:13.740 Only two showed up 01:27:13.740 --> 01:27:14.840 and where I announced it, though. 01:27:15.200 --> 01:27:15.820 Only two. 01:27:16.420 --> 01:27:17.160 The Starship Union, 01:27:18.480 --> 01:27:20.180 the second time they wrote an article 01:27:20.180 --> 01:27:20.840 in two years, 01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:22.260 because I've used the media 01:27:22.260 --> 01:27:24.140 to attack me to get the word out 01:27:24.140 --> 01:27:25.120 because I didn't have Fox 01:27:25.120 --> 01:27:26.280 and I didn't have Newsbag. 01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:27.880 I didn't have them. 01:27:28.300 --> 01:27:29.200 So I welcomed, 01:27:29.460 --> 01:27:30.840 when they took away all my pillows, 01:27:31.420 --> 01:27:32.800 companies and all these stores 01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:35.120 and all my year Walmart's cost 01:27:35.120 --> 01:27:36.120 goes bad, bad through me out. 01:27:36.340 --> 01:27:37.940 I spread them out every day 01:27:38.420 --> 01:27:39.760 so I would have more for the media. 01:27:40.100 --> 01:27:40.820 Hey, you just lost, 01:27:40.860 --> 01:27:41.660 you just lost, 01:27:41.660 --> 01:27:42.620 bad, bad through me out. 01:27:42.860 --> 01:27:44.100 Did you hear about our elections? 01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:45.160 Did you hear about like, 01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:46.920 Mike, you just lost Coles. 01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:47.660 You just lost this. 01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:48.580 How do you feel 01:27:48.580 --> 01:27:50.500 to hear about our elections? 01:27:50.500 --> 01:27:52.420 You know, your Twitter got canceled. 01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.040 How do you feel, did you hear about our election? 01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:56.480 You know, this is how I got the word out. 01:27:56.760 --> 01:27:58.620 I used the media to attack me 01:27:58.620 --> 01:28:00.600 over and over and over again 01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:02.180 because, and you know what, 01:28:02.320 --> 01:28:03.420 some of them were so, 01:28:03.800 --> 01:28:04.680 we became friends 01:28:04.680 --> 01:28:05.860 because they're the ones that would call me 01:28:05.860 --> 01:28:07.840 no conservative media, none. 01:28:08.700 --> 01:28:09.080 Zero. 01:28:09.700 --> 01:28:10.760 Over here you have, 01:28:11.180 --> 01:28:11.920 they would sit there 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:13.080 and write articles about me. 01:28:13.460 --> 01:28:14.520 Some of them we got to be, 01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:15.460 they got torn. 01:28:15.620 --> 01:28:16.900 Some of them I make them read my book 01:28:16.900 --> 01:28:18.620 if they were doing a long form infomercial. 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:19.900 And if they did that, 01:28:19.900 --> 01:28:20.820 one of them, one kid, 01:28:20.980 --> 01:28:21.660 I witnessed to him 01:28:21.660 --> 01:28:23.560 for four hours on a Saturday in my office 01:28:23.560 --> 01:28:24.540 because he had turned, 01:28:24.660 --> 01:28:25.600 I go, what happened to you, Zach? 01:28:25.980 --> 01:28:26.820 He's such a good writer, 01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:28.620 but he completely used to be a Christian. 01:28:28.720 --> 01:28:29.640 He told me his whole upbringing. 01:28:29.900 --> 01:28:31.240 I prayed for him in my office. 01:28:31.400 --> 01:28:32.600 It worked for about a month, 01:28:32.660 --> 01:28:34.140 but we still prayed for that kid. 01:28:34.480 --> 01:28:36.700 But anyway, these guys would read my book. 01:28:36.980 --> 01:28:39.000 Now they would write their attack articles 01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:40.520 and they wouldn't get published. 01:28:40.900 --> 01:28:41.480 So I'm going, 01:28:41.580 --> 01:28:42.520 but see all of them, 01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:43.500 no matter who you were, 01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:44.820 you had to quote me, 01:28:44.900 --> 01:28:46.460 at least one quote in that article, 01:28:46.460 --> 01:28:47.820 or you could lose my number. 01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:49.500 I always took their phone calls, 01:28:49.980 --> 01:28:52.460 every single time I welcomed it, 01:28:52.680 --> 01:28:53.760 any attack or whatever, 01:28:54.020 --> 01:28:54.880 I have nothing to hide. 01:28:54.980 --> 01:28:56.240 There's only one truth everybody. 01:28:56.920 --> 01:28:58.420 So it's easy to talk to them. 01:28:58.660 --> 01:28:59.520 There's only one truth. 01:28:59.720 --> 01:29:01.040 I went on Jimmy Kimmel twice, 01:29:01.160 --> 01:29:02.160 once in a claw machine, 01:29:02.300 --> 01:29:03.540 just to get the word out. 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:05.300 I didn't care if I was embarrassed, 01:29:05.980 --> 01:29:06.380 humiliated. 01:29:06.800 --> 01:29:07.420 What's humiliated 01:29:07.420 --> 01:29:08.360 if we don't have a country, 01:29:08.460 --> 01:29:08.920 if we're gone? 01:29:09.420 --> 01:29:10.460 There's nothing to fight for. 01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:11.560 Who cares about that? 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:12.820 Oh, Mike's been sued. 01:29:13.020 --> 01:29:13.360 I've been sued. 01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:14.180 I don't care. 01:29:14.660 --> 01:29:15.420 Sued for 2 billion, 01:29:15.520 --> 01:29:16.620 3 billion to make it a trillion. 01:29:16.820 --> 01:29:17.320 I don't have any money. 01:29:18.160 --> 01:29:18.920 It's disgusting. 01:29:19.780 --> 01:29:21.060 Put it on the pile. 01:29:21.240 --> 01:29:21.780 Throw it out back. 01:29:21.940 --> 01:29:22.840 I got a whole bunch of them. 01:29:23.360 --> 01:29:23.520 You know? 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:27.920 So here is me, Murphy, 01:29:28.100 --> 01:29:29.100 my first interview. 01:29:29.600 --> 01:29:30.660 You guys all know who she is. 01:29:30.740 --> 01:29:31.520 She works for CBS. 01:29:33.260 --> 01:29:34.500 She attacks me. 01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:35.740 Now the last interview 01:29:36.700 --> 01:29:38.220 that she had ever done, 01:29:39.100 --> 01:29:40.340 I was one of the first interviews 01:29:40.340 --> 01:29:41.880 back in 2016. 01:29:43.260 --> 01:29:44.400 After I'd done this, 01:29:44.480 --> 01:29:45.820 this was my first speech I ever did. 01:29:45.940 --> 01:29:47.380 I did it two days before 01:29:47.380 --> 01:29:48.480 when he came to Minnesota. 01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:51.560 I was petrified on that tarmacs. 01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:53.500 In 2016 on a Sunday, 01:29:53.700 --> 01:29:54.980 the election was on Tuesday. 01:29:55.740 --> 01:29:57.180 And I remember there's a beam of light 01:29:57.180 --> 01:29:58.600 and I'm all nervous out there. 01:29:58.940 --> 01:30:00.540 And here comes Michelle Bachman. 01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:01.360 I didn't know where she goes. 01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:02.400 I heard the name and she goes, 01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:03.780 Mike, I'm Michelle Bachman. 01:30:03.820 --> 01:30:05.160 She goes, you look like you need to pray. 01:30:05.200 --> 01:30:06.040 And I go, yes, I do. 01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:08.200 And so I get up there 01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:09.740 and Amy, you were there. 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:11.500 So I had one person I knew there. 01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:12.140 Amy in the back. 01:30:12.320 --> 01:30:13.380 She's in the front row. 01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:15.040 I'm hoping she's filming, right? 01:30:15.620 --> 01:30:17.420 And nobody else, no family 01:30:17.420 --> 01:30:18.140 because it didn't happen. 01:30:18.740 --> 01:30:19.620 Overnight, it was a miracle 01:30:19.620 --> 01:30:21.220 I could even get here from the West Coast. 01:30:21.960 --> 01:30:22.580 And I get up there 01:30:22.580 --> 01:30:24.160 and I was petrified of the crowd. 01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:26.100 But I said, I was born and raised in Minnesota. 01:30:26.460 --> 01:30:27.200 And I went, what? 01:30:27.440 --> 01:30:28.660 I'm going, hey, this thing's so bad. 01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:30.120 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 01:30:30.140 --> 01:30:30.900 It was going crazy. 01:30:31.260 --> 01:30:32.620 And I'm going, I'm going. 01:30:33.120 --> 01:30:34.020 So I get through it. 01:30:34.080 --> 01:30:35.900 And now I was so excited 01:30:35.900 --> 01:30:37.500 when Amy started crying. 01:30:37.740 --> 01:30:40.540 She was going, she didn't get the filming down. 01:30:40.860 --> 01:30:42.140 So I had no way to get this. 01:30:42.320 --> 01:30:43.740 I wanted it for my kids to show them. 01:30:44.740 --> 01:30:46.700 And I asked all my media friends 01:30:46.700 --> 01:30:48.300 and none of them would give me that tape. 01:30:49.080 --> 01:30:50.380 None of them because they were ordered 01:30:50.380 --> 01:30:52.720 not to release that, you know, a mi tape. 01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:54.420 So now we go out, Donald Trump, 01:30:54.540 --> 01:30:55.440 we go to the victory party. 01:30:55.660 --> 01:30:56.460 He wins the election. 01:30:56.900 --> 01:30:59.520 So I get called by the Minnesota media, 01:30:59.740 --> 01:31:00.200 all of them. 01:31:00.400 --> 01:31:01.260 Could you come back here 01:31:01.260 --> 01:31:02.380 and tell us how you know 01:31:02.380 --> 01:31:03.900 that new Donald Trump was going to win? 01:31:04.280 --> 01:31:05.320 Because I was saying he's going to win. 01:31:05.480 --> 01:31:06.460 I just, it was, you know, 01:31:06.580 --> 01:31:08.520 it was a divine feeling I had. 01:31:08.920 --> 01:31:11.140 Well, anyway, it called by 01:31:11.140 --> 01:31:12.420 Esme Murphy's for CBS. 01:31:12.780 --> 01:31:14.180 I said, WC SirCBS. 01:31:14.180 --> 01:31:16.740 And I said, I said, if you give me that tape, 01:31:16.820 --> 01:31:18.420 I'll come back and I'll go on your show. 01:31:18.780 --> 01:31:20.240 So they said, yeah, okay, we will. 01:31:20.380 --> 01:31:21.720 So I come back to Minnesota, 01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:23.080 I get my tape for that. 01:31:23.300 --> 01:31:25.480 Now I go on there and Esme starts 01:31:25.480 --> 01:31:26.400 asking me questions. 01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:28.380 She goes, and what I liked about her, 01:31:28.380 --> 01:31:29.700 she didn't dig in on each one. 01:31:30.040 --> 01:31:31.380 She'd asked me, I'd give her an answer 01:31:31.380 --> 01:31:33.380 because I guys, I knew nothing about stuff. 01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:34.060 I didn't. 01:31:34.160 --> 01:31:35.040 And by the way, I didn't know 01:31:35.040 --> 01:31:35.820 what a Muslim was. 01:31:36.020 --> 01:31:36.300 Okay. 01:31:36.480 --> 01:31:37.820 I didn't know what they believed in. 01:31:38.040 --> 01:31:39.260 So here's what she said. 01:31:39.540 --> 01:31:42.420 Her last, her last question was Mike, 01:31:42.420 --> 01:31:45.220 if you're a Muslim and you're living here 01:31:45.220 --> 01:31:46.860 in Minnesota in Minneapolis here 01:31:47.420 --> 01:31:49.480 and you're very afraid that Donald Trump 01:31:49.480 --> 01:31:50.840 won, what would you tell him? 01:31:51.940 --> 01:31:54.440 You just tell him Jesus has his hand 01:31:54.440 --> 01:31:56.280 in all of this and it'll be okay. 01:31:57.060 --> 01:31:58.240 Her mouth dropped. 01:31:58.780 --> 01:31:59.600 Her mouth dropped. 01:32:00.040 --> 01:32:00.600 Her mouth dropped. 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:02.880 That's how the interview ended. 01:32:03.460 --> 01:32:06.800 So now, so now I didn't know 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:07.540 they didn't have Jesus. 01:32:07.920 --> 01:32:08.600 I didn't know. 01:32:09.480 --> 01:32:09.980 Sorry. 01:32:10.500 --> 01:32:11.540 Headlines of the Tribune. 01:32:11.540 --> 01:32:13.720 Mike Lindell said the Muslims need Jesus. 01:32:14.100 --> 01:32:14.920 Shame on him. 01:32:16.040 --> 01:32:17.240 Shame on Mike Lindell. 01:32:18.160 --> 01:32:23.520 So now, so now, now fast forward. 01:32:24.220 --> 01:32:25.680 The next other than one hit job 01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:26.760 as we did in between, 01:32:26.920 --> 01:32:29.720 attacked me viciously, viciously 01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:31.140 when I had all the evidence 01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:33.320 for the crimes against our country. 01:32:34.340 --> 01:32:35.780 And now then, so that was 01:32:35.780 --> 01:32:37.140 in between that one and that one. 01:32:37.160 --> 01:32:39.160 And then here comes the last one I did. 01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:40.960 The only one I did in December. 01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:43.000 So after I know it's old as they 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:44.860 calls me up and she were still friends 01:32:44.860 --> 01:32:45.320 on Facebook. 01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:46.920 I've never had to deface her yet. 01:32:46.940 --> 01:32:47.180 Right. 01:32:47.660 --> 01:32:50.320 So anyway, so, so she goes. 01:32:51.020 --> 01:32:52.120 So here she is. 01:32:52.480 --> 01:32:53.580 She gets, she get, 01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:54.440 I get down to Minneapolis 01:32:54.960 --> 01:32:57.020 and now I will give her credit for this. 01:32:57.260 --> 01:33:00.220 She was taping it live, taping it live. 01:33:00.420 --> 01:33:01.180 There's no retakes. 01:33:01.420 --> 01:33:02.700 And I'm thinking, okay, 01:33:02.880 --> 01:33:03.960 you're taping it live. 01:33:04.040 --> 01:33:05.400 You didn't take the other ones live. 01:33:05.500 --> 01:33:06.100 They were live. 01:33:06.380 --> 01:33:07.740 So you're probably what are you afraid? 01:33:07.900 --> 01:33:08.920 I'm going to say something that rhymes 01:33:08.920 --> 01:33:10.340 with dominion, you know. 01:33:11.080 --> 01:33:12.880 And so anyway, 01:33:13.060 --> 01:33:14.200 but she tapes it live. 01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:16.820 And her first, her first question is, 01:33:17.260 --> 01:33:19.060 Mike, this is how she opens the 01:33:19.060 --> 01:33:19.280 interview. 01:33:19.500 --> 01:33:20.820 You just seen the horrible thing they did 01:33:20.820 --> 01:33:21.980 to the president the other night, right? 01:33:22.700 --> 01:33:23.680 You know, when you signed that 01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:25.020 interview that they did to him 01:33:25.020 --> 01:33:26.920 and he goes, you should be ashamed of yourself 01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:27.420 or whatever. 01:33:27.660 --> 01:33:28.080 You remember that one? 01:33:28.320 --> 01:33:29.080 This is Esme. 01:33:29.440 --> 01:33:30.100 First question. 01:33:30.580 --> 01:33:30.720 Mike. 01:33:31.700 --> 01:33:33.060 My pillows bankrupt. 01:33:33.460 --> 01:33:34.860 I said,

01:33:41.440 I said, we're here. 01:33:41.540 --> 01:33:42.740 We're here to stay in Minnesota. 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:45.060 And we're still standing in spite 01:33:45.060 --> 01:33:47.100 if you've seen Arctic Frost by 01:33:47.100 --> 01:33:48.920 our own government hired with 01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:51.600 the FBI, the DOJ and the IRS. 01:33:52.120 --> 01:33:53.340 Arctic Frost, if you've all heard 01:33:53.340 --> 01:33:55.260 of that, there was 90 some people, 01:33:55.400 --> 01:33:57.320 nine centers and one company 01:33:58.020 --> 01:33:59.340 viciously attacked more than 01:33:59.340 --> 01:34:00.760 any company in history. 01:34:01.060 --> 01:34:02.700 Well, we went through debate, 01:34:02.980 --> 01:34:04.060 demerchant server. 01:34:04.340 --> 01:34:06.200 It happens every day in my team. 01:34:06.200 --> 01:34:08.320 My employees have had to endure this. 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:10.600 I said, Esme, they've sat here 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:11.940 and what I've done is the CEO. 01:34:12.320 --> 01:34:14.020 I said, I built the American dream on 01:34:14.020 --> 01:34:15.900 steroids going from an attic in these streets 01:34:15.900 --> 01:34:17.820 of Minneapolis to build one of the biggest 01:34:17.820 --> 01:34:20.020 direct sale companies in history 01:34:20.020 --> 01:34:21.800 and then only to have it be attacked 01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:22.860 over and over. 01:34:23.020 --> 01:34:24.100 I could have walked off the course, 01:34:24.200 --> 01:34:25.900 but I love this state and I love 01:34:25.900 --> 01:34:27.820 my pillow and my employees. 01:34:28.260 --> 01:34:29.720 And I said, we've had to endure that 01:34:29.720 --> 01:34:31.400 to guide that through other than, you know, 01:34:31.440 --> 01:34:33.640 with God's help to guide us through. 01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:35.880 I said, they sit there, we pray all 01:34:35.880 --> 01:34:37.720 the time in my pillow for the next day, 01:34:37.860 --> 01:34:38.740 for the next day. 01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:40.380 And we've been doing that for four years. 01:34:40.800 --> 01:34:42.500 And I go, hey, shame on you, Esme. 01:34:42.820 --> 01:34:44.080 Then she didn't see pivots. 01:34:44.620 --> 01:34:46.780 Well, Mike, you know, your evidence, 01:34:47.080 --> 01:34:48.400 you know, you had to pay $5 million 01:34:48.400 --> 01:34:50.600 challenge that your evidence was no good. 01:34:51.900 --> 01:34:53.660 I go, Esme, 01:34:54.200 --> 01:34:56.040 now you're worse than the star and tribune. 01:34:56.600 --> 01:34:58.540 I said, the 8th circuit 01:34:58.540 --> 01:35:00.240 right here in Minneapolis 01:35:01.140 --> 01:35:02.520 overturned that and said, 01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:05.240 Mike's evidence was right and Mike was right. 01:35:05.620 --> 01:35:06.900 And she looked to me and she goes, 01:35:07.120 --> 01:35:09.680 and she was just stunned because she didn't do her due diligence. 01:35:09.980 --> 01:35:11.320 The 8th circuit in Minneapolis, 01:35:11.520 --> 01:35:12.820 you say judges, there's no hope. 01:35:13.060 --> 01:35:15.300 They told me it was a one in a billion. 01:35:15.780 --> 01:35:17.520 My lawyer said, you're never going to get 01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:19.100 that overturned in Minnesota here 01:35:19.100 --> 01:35:21.900 because it was so corrupt that they did to me in the first place. 01:35:22.280 --> 01:35:24.460 I said, the truth is the truth. 01:35:24.760 --> 01:35:25.820 There's only one truth. 01:35:26.040 --> 01:35:27.620 And I don't care if it's one in a billion. 01:35:28.200 --> 01:35:30.340 What do I have to, I got nothing to lose by trying. 01:35:30.340 --> 01:35:32.040 The people need to know it's all true. 01:35:32.440 --> 01:35:34.360 And by the grace of God and people praying, 01:35:34.900 --> 01:35:36.780 and by the way, Doug Warlow, if you all knew him, 01:35:36.940 --> 01:35:39.460 he wrote that thing, that whatever that, 01:35:39.620 --> 01:35:42.000 they call that brief, to the 8th circuit. 01:35:42.580 --> 01:35:44.560 And he overturned it.

We're approaching every single church 01:43:49.200 --> 01:43:51.220 to get them engaged. Every single 01:43:51.220 --> 01:43:53.140 person in that town. I'm going to view 01:43:53.140 --> 01:43:55.180 every town and every person 01:43:55.180 --> 01:43:57.340 like it's the only person to vote. 01:43:58.180 --> 01:43:59.300 You know, because this 01:43:59.300 --> 01:44:01.300 is it. Nobody can sit back 01:44:01.300 --> 01:44:03.300 and say, oh, the problem is just in Minneapolis. 01:44:03.580 --> 01:44:05.080 We're safe up here in Princeton. We're 01:44:05.080 --> 01:44:07.040 safe up in two Harvests. You're not safe. 01:44:07.740 --> 01:44:08.860 It's going to be over. 01:44:09.980 --> 01:44:10.480 And they, and 01:44:11.220 --> 01:44:13.160 so we're going to do that.

I want people to see it 01:44:23.100 --> 01:44:24.760 everywhere. You say, the money they 01:44:24.760 --> 01:44:26.780 spend now, see, they're stupid too. 01:44:27.080 --> 01:44:28.560 It was kind of dumb. 01:44:29.480 --> 01:44:30.580 What they're going to do, they're going 01:44:30.580 --> 01:44:32.260 to spend all their money on these high 01:44:32.260 --> 01:44:34.660 price double your ads on CNNs 01:44:34.660 --> 01:44:36.900 and your Foxes and your ABCs 01:44:36.900 --> 01:44:38.560 and NBCs.

They asked me the other 01:45:14.820 --> 01:45:16.580 day, well, Mike, why are you 01:45:16.580 --> 01:45:18.260 doing this? I said, have you ever seen the movie 01:45:18.260 --> 01:45:20.220 Arm Again? You guys seen that movie? 01:45:20.740 --> 01:45:22.160 Remember when they saved the world with the 01:45:22.160 --> 01:45:24.360 asteroid and she asked Bruce Willis 01:45:24.360 --> 01:45:26.100 why are you doing this, dad? 01:45:26.740 --> 01:45:28.280 And he said, because I don't trust anybody 01:45:28.280 --> 01:45:29.940 to do it, to get it done right. 01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:32.460 And everything I've learned, 01:45:32.620 --> 01:45:34.520 every all the attacks, the media 01:45:34.520 --> 01:45:36.420 the media attacking, when 01:45:36.420 --> 01:45:38.520 those other Republicans get in there 01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:40.300 yet they don't have a chance 01:45:40.300 --> 01:45:42.540 up against the media. None. 01:45:43.380 --> 01:45:44.660 Okay, I deal with them 01:45:44.660 --> 01:45:47.480 every day. You know, I get around them. 01:45:47.560 --> 01:45:48.900 I know what to do. You think 01:45:48.900 --> 01:45:50.900 I care that they do a hit job on me? I welcome 01:45:50.900 --> 01:45:52.860 I probably called them up and told them about it. 01:45:53.900 --> 01:45:54.960 Did you all see 01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:56.620 I'll give an example. Did you all see 01:45:56.620 --> 01:45:58.700 when CPAC endorsed me? But what did 01:45:58.700 --> 01:46:00.680 they, what did the media put out? They put 01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:02.800 out a thing that I was served papers on live 01:46:02.800 --> 01:46:04.160 TV. Did any of you see that? 01:46:04.980 --> 01:46:06.700 Do you know what that was? That 01:46:06.700 --> 01:46:08.800 was me. My attorneys had 01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:10.780 them serve them to him and his wife 01:46:10.780 --> 01:46:12.640 because he was using my image 01:46:12.640 --> 01:46:14.800 on a media platform illegally. 01:46:15.400 --> 01:46:16.680 He doesn't have the rights to use my 01:46:16.680 --> 01:46:18.660 image and advertise his gold company. 01:46:19.300 --> 01:46:20.840 So we served them papers. His wife 01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:22.620 was throwing these papers back. I didn't 01:46:22.620 --> 01:46:24.760 know it was his wife. And but do you 01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:26.200 know what, when I did find out I'm going 01:46:26.200 --> 01:46:28.340 the guy goes, can we, can we go ahead and play this? 01:46:28.440 --> 01:46:30.780 Yeah, absolutely. So it's out there going 01:46:30.780 --> 01:46:32.600 Mike was served papers, but did you know 01:46:32.600 --> 01:46:34.400 he's running for governor? You see what I mean? 01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:36.820 The world felt I'm running for governor. 01:46:36.980 --> 01:46:38.520 Who cares I got served papers. If it was 01:46:38.520 --> 01:46:40.400 real papers, put it on the pile. Put it all back. 01:46:41.760 --> 01:46:42.620 I don't care. 01:46:44.060 --> 01:46:45.800 You know, you don't, you don't need 01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:48.240 you know to, everyone's going, and the 01:46:48.240 --> 01:46:49.880 media, they can't attack 01:46:49.880 --> 01:46:51.620 me going backwards. I've told it all. 01:46:51.940 --> 01:46:53.300 Do you guys know in the beginning 01:46:53.300 --> 01:46:55.660 of 21, I was the secret service 01:46:55.660 --> 01:46:57.640 came up to my pillow that came 01:46:57.640 --> 01:46:59.000 ahead of the secret service and one of 01:46:59.000 --> 01:47:00.900 the top guys came up and he goes, 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:02.820 Mike, you're the number one target in 01:47:02.820 --> 01:47:04.100 the world right now. This is early 01:47:04.100 --> 01:47:07.140 January. And he said we, he said 01:47:07.140 --> 01:47:08.860 let me tell you, and he said he 01:47:08.860 --> 01:47:10.720 ran my book. He's a friend of mine for four years. 01:47:11.280 --> 01:47:13.040 And he said they can't attack 01:47:13.040 --> 01:47:14.940 you going backwards because you've 01:47:14.940 --> 01:47:16.920 told it all. You've told it in a book 01:47:16.920 --> 01:47:19.500 you've told everything. And he said they 01:47:19.500 --> 01:47:20.800 can't really even attack you in the 01:47:20.800 --> 01:47:22.960 media going forward because they 01:47:22.960 --> 01:47:24.140 just say, oh that's because he backed 01:47:24.140 --> 01:47:25.660 Donald Trump. It's been going on for 01:47:25.660 --> 01:47:28.100 four years. He said they're going to 01:47:28.100 --> 01:47:30.700 come to you two things. And he 01:47:30.700 --> 01:47:32.540 said they're going to pull up in a van 01:47:33.140 --> 01:47:34.780 and pull up a van behind you and 01:47:34.780 --> 01:47:36.900 you're going to be dis-disappear. Or 01:47:36.900 --> 01:47:38.800 he said they're going to come after your 01:47:38.800 --> 01:47:40.960 company and everything you got 01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:42.860 to shut you up. Well 01:47:42.860 --> 01:47:44.400 thank God they took the ladder, right? 01:47:46.040 --> 01:47:46.620 But um 01:47:47.540 --> 01:47:48.900 so we're going to put up 01:47:48.900 --> 01:47:50.640 the signs and we're going to do commercials. 01:47:51.420 --> 01:47:52.740 I mean it's just to see what things we're 01:47:52.740 --> 01:47:54.800 doing. I'm going to engage every 01:47:54.800 --> 01:47:56.960 single person in this state with teams 01:47:56.960 --> 01:47:58.900 to beat Klobuchar to 01:47:58.900 --> 01:48:00.780 get the word out that we can 01:48:00.780 --> 01:48:02.600 win. This state needs 01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:04.540 hope. You know what the thing is you've 01:48:04.540 --> 01:48:06.680 heard before this? This is why the fraud 01:48:06.680 --> 01:48:08.600 is so important. This is why the 01:48:08.600 --> 01:48:10.480 nonsense they did here in Minnesota that 01:48:10.480 --> 01:48:12.460 was magnified more than any other state 01:48:12.460 --> 01:48:14.640 in the country. Nobody puts 01:48:14.640 --> 01:48:16.440 a satanic statue in the capital. 01:48:16.760 --> 01:48:18.560 Not one governor said, I'm 01:48:18.560 --> 01:48:20.320 sorry if you have 10 people in your house for 01:48:20.320 --> 01:48:22.300 Thanksgiving, you get arrested. Your neighbor 01:48:22.300 --> 01:48:24.320 could turn you in for 90 days. And they 01:48:24.320 --> 01:48:26.300 gave us two more for Christmas. Y'all remember that? 01:48:26.880 --> 01:48:28.760 Okay. He tried to close down 01:48:28.760 --> 01:48:30.420 our fishing, opening fishing over. That's 01:48:30.420 --> 01:48:31.980 another story. I was with the president when 01:48:31.980 --> 01:48:34.020 he made the call. He said, you're not 01:48:34.020 --> 01:48:36.080 doing that. Okay, so anyway 01:48:36.980 --> 01:48:37.540 the 01:48:38.140 --> 01:48:40.360 what we did is in 01:48:40.360 --> 01:48:42.100 the 2024 election 01:48:42.100 --> 01:48:44.120 Rudy Giuliani and I went in the heart 01:48:44.120 --> 01:48:45.880 of Chicago. And 01:48:45.880 --> 01:48:48.180 we went down in Chicago and we found 01:48:48.180 --> 01:48:49.860 all these blacks that were voting for 01:48:49.860 --> 01:48:51.780 Donald Trump that had never voted Republican 01:48:51.780 --> 01:48:54.120 in their life. And we filmed 01:48:54.120 --> 01:48:55.940 them. We did all this 01:48:55.940 --> 01:48:58.220 filming. There was probably 50 to 75. 01:48:58.300 --> 01:48:59.840 We filmed them and said 01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:01.780 why are you voting for Donald Trump? 01:49:02.420 --> 01:49:03.780 And what came out of their mouth 01:49:03.780 --> 01:49:05.980 was the most powerful things to 01:49:05.980 --> 01:49:07.520 other blacks in the inner city 01:49:07.520 --> 01:49:09.920 because of this, this and this. So 01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:11.760 that's them telling them 01:49:11.760 --> 01:49:13.840 not me convincing these over here that 01:49:13.840 --> 01:49:15.800 are these left-wing liberal Democrats that 01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:17.980 have always voted Democrat. What they said 01:49:17.980 --> 01:49:20.000 it was the most powerful commercials you've 01:49:20.000 --> 01:49:21.720 ever seen. That's what I'm doing 01:49:21.720 --> 01:49:23.720 here in Minnesota. I'm going down the 01:49:23.720 --> 01:49:25.520 inner city where I did all this down there. 01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:27.380 My friends are still down there. Their 01:49:27.380 --> 01:49:29.000 business has got burned to the ground 01:49:29.000 --> 01:49:31.200 when they quit addiction 01:49:31.200 --> 01:49:33.240 and they quit dealing drugs and their lives 01:49:33.240 --> 01:49:34.980 were changed. They don't want these 01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:37.500 protesters down there. They don't 01:49:37.500 --> 01:49:39.460 want this nonsense down there. They don't 01:49:39.460 --> 01:49:41.120 want the empty streets and the danger 01:49:41.560 --> 01:49:43.220 and they're going to go this is why we're 01:49:43.220 --> 01:49:45.300 voting for Mike Lindell. Those are what 01:49:45.300 --> 01:49:47.320 I'm going to be hearing down there. Now 01:49:47.320 --> 01:49:49.100 you can do that with farmers. You can go 01:49:49.100 --> 01:49:50.920 farmers. This is why I'm doing with 01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:53.680 Mike Lindell. Suburban 01:49:53.680 --> 01:49:55.460 housewives. You get them. This is 01:49:55.460 --> 01:49:57.300 what I'm doing. Let them tell the story. 01:49:57.440 --> 01:49:58.500 That's what I do as market. 01:49:59.740 --> 01:50:01.120 I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell 01:50:01.760 --> 01:50:03.320 I'm going to do three more. I'm going to 01:50:03.320 --> 01:50:04.760 tell you three more quick problem 01:50:04.760 --> 01:50:06.820 solves what I'm going to do. I'm going to 01:50:06.820 --> 01:50:08.700 tell you that's my marketing campaign to win. 01:50:08.860 --> 01:50:10.700 Now what do you know about politics, Mike? 01:50:12.060 --> 01:50:13.100 Okay, here's one. 01:50:13.860 --> 01:50:15.120 I was shopping. 01:50:15.500 --> 01:50:17.240 We have the first mall in the world 01:50:17.240 --> 01:50:19.180 was in Minnesota 01:50:19.660 --> 01:50:20.820 Southdale Mall in Bloomington. 01:50:21.080 --> 01:50:23.280 I grew up with that mall. The first 01:50:23.280 --> 01:50:25.220 escalators in history. Do you all know 01:50:25.220 --> 01:50:27.040 that? I went in there. 01:50:27.240 --> 01:50:29.260 I had a store there before my pillow store. 01:50:29.540 --> 01:50:31.360 I went in there two weeks 01:50:31.360 --> 01:50:32.240 before Christmas. 01:50:32.860 --> 01:50:34.680 And it's all empty in the middle. 01:50:35.220 --> 01:50:37.140 Store some coming soon, some empty. 01:50:37.640 --> 01:50:39.180 The people, where are the people? 01:50:39.340 --> 01:50:41.560 It's just like you're waiting for the tumble weeds, right? 01:50:42.460 --> 01:50:43.200 And then I seen 01:50:43.200 --> 01:50:45.220 a lady in Portland going, here I 01:50:45.220 --> 01:50:46.800 am in the safest city in the world. 01:50:47.460 --> 01:50:49.060 I'm going, what? She goes, there's nobody 01:50:49.060 --> 01:50:50.840 here. Okay. 01:50:50.840 --> 01:50:53.000 And I felt like that. Minneapolis. 01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:55.500 The empty buildings down there right now. 01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:56.900 I grew up with going down 01:50:56.900 --> 01:50:58.900 to Dayton's and stuff. It was 01:50:58.900 --> 01:51:00.880 so sad. But there's another 01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:02.960 reason, not just for the safety. 01:51:03.700 --> 01:51:04.960 Not just what's happened in 01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:07.040 our city. There's a thing was 01:51:07.040 --> 01:51:08.740 people sitting at home. 01:51:09.120 --> 01:51:10.840 One of the biggest monopolies there ever was 01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:13.060 and that's Amazon. You're clicking your phone 01:51:13.060 --> 01:51:14.520 and you're ordering stuff online 01:51:14.520 --> 01:51:16.480 from my pillow, Amazon 01:51:16.480 --> 01:51:18.680 and all this stuff online and it's delivered 01:51:18.680 --> 01:51:19.740 right to your front door. 01:51:21.020 --> 01:51:22.560 And here was my plan 01:51:22.560 --> 01:51:24.200 and I had this nine years ago 01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:26.460 but now it's come to fruition. 01:51:26.600 --> 01:51:28.680 I actually couldn't do it. I'm going to eliminate 01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:30.640 sales tax at the 01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:32.660 brick and mortar level, the small business 01:51:32.660 --> 01:51:34.100 level. It's gone. 01:51:34.860 --> 01:51:35.080 Okay. 01:51:37.940 --> 01:51:38.820 And how 01:51:38.820 --> 01:51:40.160 are we going to make up for that money? 01:51:40.820 --> 01:51:41.960 We're going to turn, every 01:51:41.960 --> 01:51:44.160 state can set their own internet tax. 01:51:44.540 --> 01:51:45.760 We're going to move that up tonight. 01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:47.180 And I haven't said the budget part of yet. 01:51:47.520 --> 01:51:49.620 Maybe as high as 15%. It's going to hurt 01:51:49.620 --> 01:51:51.540 my pillow. I don't care. We need 01:51:51.540 --> 01:51:52.880 to win and save our country. 01:51:53.420 --> 01:51:55.520 Okay. You have to give people 01:51:55.520 --> 01:51:57.160 an incentive to go shopping 01:51:57.760 --> 01:51:59.460 physically get out and buy something 01:51:59.460 --> 01:52:00.680 and save some money. 01:52:01.320 --> 01:52:02.840 And this will solve that. 01:52:03.120 --> 01:52:05.520 And you know what else? Five states have done it 01:52:05.520 --> 01:52:07.600 but they don't have neighboring states like we do. 01:52:07.940 --> 01:52:09.160 But the states they do, 01:52:09.500 --> 01:52:11.400 they pour in and it 01:52:11.400 --> 01:52:13.420 creates jobs. They pour in. When you 01:52:13.420 --> 01:52:15.280 got your diamond stores and your big tickets 01:52:15.280 --> 01:52:17.260 your cars, your tractors, they come in 01:52:17.260 --> 01:52:19.040 to save that money. They're going to come to Minnesota 01:52:19.040 --> 01:52:20.980 to save that sales tax. 01:52:21.340 --> 01:52:23.420 We have some of the highest in the nation in St. Paul's 01:52:23.420 --> 01:52:25.340 10%. And they're thinking of raising 01:52:25.340 --> 01:52:27.360 it more and more because like 01:52:27.360 --> 01:52:29.240 our schools, our schools are 01:52:29.240 --> 01:52:31.520 funded by bonds. This is my another quick fix. 01:52:32.060 --> 01:52:33.120 I met with the teachers 01:52:33.120 --> 01:52:35.300 over and over. There's one 01:52:35.300 --> 01:52:37.060 thing with the teachers that's so sad. 01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:38.520 They've come to me, they 01:52:39.200 --> 01:52:41.400 know they can trust me not to give their names 01:52:41.400 --> 01:52:43.200 and they said, Mike, a portion 01:52:43.200 --> 01:52:45.380 of all of our checks goes to fund the No 01:52:45.380 --> 01:52:47.520 Kings things in St. Paul. 01:52:48.560 --> 01:52:49.340 All the Democrat 01:52:49.340 --> 01:52:51.480 stuff. Now they said, I said, you're 01:52:51.480 --> 01:52:52.940 kidding. She said, no. 01:52:53.160 --> 01:52:55.140 But you can sign a sheet 01:52:55.140 --> 01:52:57.300 saying you don't want any money taken out 01:52:57.300 --> 01:52:58.920 of your check like that. 01:52:59.060 --> 01:53:01.440 But then they're blackbombed. The new news, they attack 01:53:01.440 --> 01:53:03.440 them. And I said, you know what 01:53:03.440 --> 01:53:05.340 we're going to do? There's power 01:53:05.340 --> 01:53:07.260 in numbers. That will be... 01:53:07.260 --> 01:53:09.400 I'm going to have a big mouth when I'm 01:53:09.400 --> 01:53:10.620 with you. And they... 01:53:10.620 --> 01:53:12.620 What I'm going to do, God 01:53:12.620 --> 01:53:14.580 picked someone that was afraid of rejection. 01:53:14.800 --> 01:53:15.620 I'm not afraid anymore. 01:53:17.400 --> 01:53:19.120 What we're going to do with all 01:53:19.120 --> 01:53:21.140 them teachers are all going to sign 01:53:21.140 --> 01:53:22.780 that paper at the same time. 01:53:23.020 --> 01:53:24.920 And I guarantee you're not going to 01:53:24.920 --> 01:53:27.080 find 50-50. It's probably 01:53:27.080 --> 01:53:28.980 going to be 75% of them 01:53:28.980 --> 01:53:31.040 teachers. You all think, oh, they're 01:53:31.040 --> 01:53:32.380 all Democrat, whatever. No. 01:53:32.940 --> 01:53:34.200 They're not. They're afraid. 01:53:34.540 --> 01:53:35.980 They're afraid to talk. 01:53:37.120 --> 01:53:38.400 There's so many industries 01:53:38.400 --> 01:53:39.680 affected, even our judges. 01:53:40.100 --> 01:53:41.540 They're afraid. That's why we never got 01:53:41.540 --> 01:53:43.200 anywhere with a lot of these judges 01:53:43.200 --> 01:53:44.980 with the voting machines. Because they 01:53:44.980 --> 01:53:47.120 threw stuff out on sanction and 01:53:47.120 --> 01:53:49.120 standing. You don't have standing. 01:53:49.540 --> 01:53:51.280 Nothing got all the way to the end by merit. 01:53:51.460 --> 01:53:52.900 Nothing. Nothing. 01:53:53.300 --> 01:53:55.000 Well, I take it back. One did 01:53:55.000 --> 01:53:56.920 my trial with a $5 million 01:53:56.920 --> 01:53:58.660 challenge where they overturned it. The 01:53:58.660 --> 01:54:00.820 truth set us free. So now I want 01:54:00.820 --> 01:54:02.680 to say, with the teachers 01:54:03.160 --> 01:54:05.620 in Minnesota, we spent 29% 01:54:05.620 --> 01:54:06.900 more. And I 01:54:06.900 --> 01:54:08.820 don't know the years. Let's 01:54:08.820 --> 01:54:11.140 say it was four years. 29% 01:54:11.140 --> 01:54:12.700 more money. Our budget went up. 01:54:13.260 --> 01:54:14.920 And we went from, like, fifth in 01:54:14.920 --> 01:54:16.380 the nation to, like, 32 01:54:17.160 --> 01:54:17.960 in testing. 01:54:18.740 --> 01:54:20.660 It's disgusting. So I'm sitting here 01:54:20.660 --> 01:54:22.600 as a businessman. And by the way, do you know 01:54:22.600 --> 01:54:24.660 during that time we're funded by bonds? And 01:54:24.660 --> 01:54:26.740 then when you run them out here, you issue more bonds. It's 01:54:26.740 --> 01:54:28.680 like a big Ponzi scheme. And when you run them out 01:54:28.680 --> 01:54:30.460 here, you raise your property taxes. 01:54:31.240 --> 01:54:32.500 It's one of the first things we're 01:54:32.500 --> 01:54:34.500 going to do, at least for the elderly that 01:54:34.500 --> 01:54:36.400 are retired, you don't get taxed out of 01:54:36.400 --> 01:54:38.500 your house. It's gone. We got to get 01:54:38.500 --> 01:54:39.600 rid of that immediately. 01:54:40.380 --> 01:54:40.780 Immediately. 01:54:44.800 --> 01:54:46.400 And what I did as a businessman, 01:54:46.780 --> 01:54:48.580 when you see a problem, the first 01:54:48.580 --> 01:54:50.420 thing you do, instead of just going 01:54:50.420 --> 01:54:52.180 right to your due diligence, see if 01:54:52.180 --> 01:54:53.980 anybody else has faced that problem 01:54:53.980 --> 01:54:56.300 before. What a concept, right? It's 01:54:56.300 --> 01:54:57.800 like, it's like business 101. 01:54:58.600 --> 01:55:00.200 So what I did, I looked around and I 01:55:00.200 --> 01:55:02.000 said, well, there's 50 other states that any 01:55:02.000 --> 01:55:04.100 state was a terrible and they went 01:55:04.100 --> 01:55:06.160 up. Well, one state 01:55:06.160 --> 01:55:08.520 stands alone. Mississippi 01:55:08.520 --> 01:55:10.120 in 2014 was 01:55:10.120 --> 01:55:11.420 50th in the nation. 01:55:12.280 --> 01:55:14.640 In four years, they moved up to 35. 01:55:15.240 --> 01:55:16.280 Now they're sitting in 01:55:16.280 --> 01:55:18.300 the teens. I'm going, nobody 01:55:18.300 --> 01:55:19.940 moves that fast in that time. 01:55:20.340 --> 01:55:21.940 So we went down here, going on to 01:55:21.940 --> 01:55:24.140 Mississippi and all these stuff. For the sake 01:55:24.140 --> 01:55:26.080 of time, it's just, it's 01:55:26.080 --> 01:55:27.600 everything you would think of, right? 01:55:27.600 --> 01:55:29.660 I mean, are they 01:55:29.660 --> 01:55:30.920 brought in people to learn English? 01:55:32.240 --> 01:55:33.800 They had, but 01:55:33.800 --> 01:55:35.680 anyway, there's a whole list. Let's just 01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:37.640 grab that plan. That's going to be an easy 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:39.400 one. We're 01:55:39.400 --> 01:55:41.140 using Mississippi's plan 01:55:41.140 --> 01:55:43.620 and you shove it in. And then we say 01:55:43.620 --> 01:55:45.300 to Democrats and Republicans 01:55:45.300 --> 01:55:46.880 in our little sentence here and 01:55:47.660 --> 01:55:49.300 legislature say, anybody 01:55:49.300 --> 01:55:51.540 oppose this plan? This is perfect. 01:55:52.660 --> 01:55:53.720 And then you're going to see what? 01:55:53.980 --> 01:55:55.200 Oh, we have the people over here go, 01:55:55.200 --> 01:55:56.980 that's terrible plan. It's going to ruin 01:55:56.980 --> 01:55:58.340 the money we're stealing. 01:55:59.060 --> 01:55:59.720 Well, you know what? 01:56:02.900 --> 01:56:05.040 But you're going to hear about it and this 01:56:05.040 --> 01:56:07.120 plan will be pushed through because they ask, Mike, how 01:56:07.120 --> 01:56:08.880 are you going to work with these, you know, 01:56:09.100 --> 01:56:10.660 if it's not Republican controlled? 01:56:11.200 --> 01:56:12.980 Don't matter if it's Republican or Democrat. 01:56:13.200 --> 01:56:14.840 This is going to be people controlled. 01:56:15.480 --> 01:56:17.180 We are going to hear about it and you're 01:56:17.180 --> 01:56:18.600 going to put pressure on them and say, 01:56:18.860 --> 01:56:21.040 of course we want this. Just like we've 01:56:21.040 --> 01:56:22.800 been putting pressure on the flag for our 01:56:22.800 --> 01:56:24.660 state. All these cities now, they're going, 01:56:24.900 --> 01:56:26.580 you know what? We don't care. We're going to fly 01:56:26.580 --> 01:56:27.820 the real Minnesota flag. 01:56:28.760 --> 01:56:30.600 So when you bring that in, you can 01:56:30.600 --> 01:56:32.620 see people, we're going to use 01:56:33.140 --> 01:56:34.680 Mississippi's plan of all 01:56:34.680 --> 01:56:36.540 states. Put it in. 01:56:36.740 --> 01:56:38.160 Boom, done. Easy fix. 01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:40.620 The farmers in this state, I met 01:56:40.620 --> 01:56:41.920 with them. They have 01:56:41.920 --> 01:56:44.960 huge, huge things up against 01:56:44.960 --> 01:56:46.020 them. They 01:56:46.020 --> 01:56:48.960 have, they broke more antitrust 01:56:48.960 --> 01:56:50.640 laws against farmers than anyone 01:56:50.640 --> 01:56:52.540 in history. Farmers have to 01:56:52.540 --> 01:56:54.640 sustain. We always have to subsidize them. 01:56:55.000 --> 01:56:56.400 So corn has to be over $5. 01:56:56.840 --> 01:56:58.800 If it's not there, they need to be subsidized. 01:56:59.040 --> 01:57:00.740 First farmers I met said, we got 01:57:00.740 --> 01:57:02.900 a solution. We have a sustainable 01:57:02.900 --> 01:57:04.780 aviation field. Minnesota can do 01:57:04.780 --> 01:57:06.300 that from Hastings all the way to 01:57:06.920 --> 01:57:08.360 Minneapolis airport. There's a pipeline. 01:57:09.060 --> 01:57:10.500 If you do that, we sustain, but 01:57:10.500 --> 01:57:12.660 corn is always going to be between $5 and $5.50. 01:57:13.320 --> 01:57:14.800 I'm going, I thought that was a great idea. 01:57:15.360 --> 01:57:16.420 Then I got to thinking, I'm going, 01:57:16.720 --> 01:57:18.520 what's going to happen to the price of our food? 01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:20.520 Right? So you can't do that. 01:57:20.760 --> 01:57:22.440 So I'm going, well what is the problem? Why do 01:57:22.440 --> 01:57:24.500 you guys always have to be at this 01:57:24.500 --> 01:57:26.500 way? How come the cost? I used to 01:57:26.500 --> 01:57:28.680 farm for years now in southern Minnesota 01:57:28.680 --> 01:57:30.500 with my uncle. And 01:57:30.500 --> 01:57:32.540 here it is. It even started back then. 01:57:32.940 --> 01:57:34.180 You guys know Monsanto. 01:57:34.920 --> 01:57:36.480 You know Bear. You 01:57:36.480 --> 01:57:38.500 know Roundup. All these, you 01:57:38.500 --> 01:57:40.600 have to buy this corn. You have 01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:42.480 to buy this fertilizer. It's 01:57:42.480 --> 01:57:44.320 poisoning our food amongst 01:57:44.320 --> 01:57:46.260 other things. So you have these 01:57:47.280 --> 01:57:48.000 huge monopolies 01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:50.060 controlled farming. Now there's the thing 01:57:50.060 --> 01:57:52.080 I blew my mind. You can't work on your own tractor. 01:57:52.260 --> 01:57:54.040 Did you know that? It's 01:57:54.040 --> 01:57:56.140 bizarre. I go, you can't work 01:57:56.140 --> 01:57:58.020 on your own tractors. And they're going, 01:57:58.160 --> 01:57:59.960 some of them they'll try. They're even bringing in 01:57:59.960 --> 01:58:02.000 different wrenches now that you won't be able to open 01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:04.140 them up. Kind of like, you want to work 01:58:04.140 --> 01:58:05.740 on your phone. Good luck. Right? 01:58:06.460 --> 01:58:07.480 You ain't taking that apart. 01:58:08.020 --> 01:58:10.220 This is disgusting. So they set up 01:58:10.220 --> 01:58:12.140 another monopoly. So how do I go 01:58:12.140 --> 01:58:14.180 after those monopolies? It's going to be fun 01:58:14.180 --> 01:58:16.220 going after the teachers' unions and all the other 01:58:16.220 --> 01:58:17.320 ones. But I've been through it with the 01:58:17.320 --> 01:58:19.160 voting machine companies. I've been through it 01:58:19.160 --> 01:58:21.280 with the most deepest, darkest evil the world 01:58:21.280 --> 01:58:23.480 has ever known. And so is a friend of mine. 01:58:24.300 --> 01:58:26.040 And him and I are working, this would be 01:58:26.040 --> 01:58:27.900 we would need to work together to take 01:58:27.900 --> 01:58:29.780 on those monopolies. Because this isn't 01:58:29.780 --> 01:58:32.120 just a Minnesota thing. This is 01:58:32.120 --> 01:58:34.040 a huge problem. And this is 01:58:34.040 --> 01:58:35.060 our beef, too, in our 01:58:35.940 --> 01:58:37.820 pork. The beef industry, the 01:58:37.820 --> 01:58:39.840 chicken industry, it's all. So what do 01:58:39.840 --> 01:58:41.020 they do when they run the little farm 01:58:41.020 --> 01:58:43.360 around a business? They swallow it. 01:58:43.800 --> 01:58:45.260 China's been doing that for a long time. 01:58:45.400 --> 01:58:47.040 We all know that. So anyway, those are 01:58:47.040 --> 01:58:48.820 different problems, solutions. 01:58:49.780 --> 01:58:51.100 I have the whole, the one 01:58:51.100 --> 01:58:53.040 downtown with the addicts. This is 01:58:53.040 --> 01:58:55.040 the last one I'll say. I know I went over on time. 01:58:55.680 --> 01:58:55.780 But 01:58:57.080 --> 01:58:59.160 in Minneapolis, now for 10 01:58:59.160 --> 01:59:00.720 years, when I came out of addiction 01:59:01.340 --> 01:59:03.220 I poured millions upon 01:59:03.220 --> 01:59:05.160 millions upon millions of 01:59:05.160 --> 01:59:07.000 dollars into setting up 01:59:07.000 --> 01:59:09.000 this, one was a foundation. 01:59:09.000 --> 01:59:10.980 But it was this elaborate plan 01:59:10.980 --> 01:59:12.600 to take, imagine, 01:59:12.900 --> 01:59:15.040 I thought to myself, you know, people want to 01:59:15.040 --> 01:59:16.920 give. People want to help. 01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:18.640 People are good people. 01:59:19.200 --> 01:59:20.520 You know, you've got your billionaires, your 01:59:20.520 --> 01:59:22.220 millionaires, or anybody that wants to 01:59:22.220 --> 01:59:24.920 help. But you don't, you 01:59:24.920 --> 01:59:26.700 go, if I help this, 01:59:27.040 --> 01:59:28.640 how much do I know really goes to the 01:59:28.640 --> 01:59:29.940 cause? You know, 01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:32.660 does it dime? Does a nickel go? 01:59:32.880 --> 01:59:34.580 How much really makes it to that cost? 01:59:35.020 --> 01:59:36.900 So what I did is I set up this thing. 01:59:36.900 --> 01:59:38.640 It was millions of dollars to set up. 01:59:39.180 --> 01:59:40.900 And imagine GoFundMe. These are all 01:59:40.900 --> 01:59:42.860 these vetted needs on 01:59:42.860 --> 01:59:44.840 this big board, right? And you can 01:59:44.840 --> 01:59:47.180 beam it in. You could beam it into Minnesota. 01:59:47.680 --> 01:59:48.740 Then they say, I want to go to Princeton. 01:59:49.060 --> 01:59:50.960 Here's a need, right outside your back door. 01:59:51.520 --> 01:59:53.120 It was an amazing plan. I tested 01:59:53.120 --> 01:59:54.120 in a hundred and four, 01:59:54.460 --> 01:59:56.820 around 144 nations. 01:59:57.380 --> 01:59:58.900 Countries, we tested. 01:59:59.200 --> 02:00:00.880 I put, poured millions of dollars into 02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:03.100 this test. It was going to be so cool. 02:00:03.660 --> 02:00:05.040 And here, we tested 02:00:05.040 --> 02:00:06.340 it in Detroit, Michigan. 02:00:06.900 --> 02:00:09.000 So I was the government. I wrapped around. 02:00:09.160 --> 02:00:10.900 I was all the costs, which would be 02:00:10.900 --> 02:00:12.460 administration costs to run the website 02:00:12.460 --> 02:00:14.240 and all this stuff, and run all this. 02:00:15.040 --> 02:00:17.180 And now here's the need. The needs 02:00:17.180 --> 02:00:18.360 these people were told, 02:00:18.800 --> 02:00:21.180 100% of your money goes to that cause. 02:00:21.700 --> 02:00:22.260 Let's say it's 02:00:22.260 --> 02:00:25.140 a welfare. Something 02:00:25.140 --> 02:00:27.200 that some aliens wouldn't steal from, 02:00:27.360 --> 02:00:28.680 okay? So let's say it was 02:00:28.680 --> 02:00:29.720 a... 02:00:29.720 --> 02:00:32.340 It was true. 02:00:32.340 --> 02:00:41.140 But let's say, this was a real need. A real need, and it was vetted. It was something I would put everything into. 02:00:41.460 --> 02:00:46.440 Whether it was a homeless person in need of this homelessness, some attic, it was a house burned down. 02:00:46.680 --> 02:00:50.140 Whatever it may be, a program to help odds and whatever it would be. 02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:55.200 Now these people in Michigan, the money poured into these. It was like a go fund me. 02:00:55.540 --> 02:01:00.960 Now if it didn't fill, if it didn't fill, I would fill it as the government, if that one just stood there, right? 02:01:00.960 --> 02:01:05.480 Because a lot of them were immediate needs. And then, boom, I would fill it. 02:01:05.820 --> 02:01:09.940 And now you're going, wow, this is working. People were becoming addicted to giving. 02:01:10.480 --> 02:01:13.260 I had to use my other program, my addiction program. No, just kidding. 02:01:14.400 --> 02:01:18.640 I'm addicted to giving. You know, it's kind of like when I got addicted to helping people with the pillow, right? 02:01:19.640 --> 02:01:23.960 And this thing saved, are you ready? 40%. 40%. 02:01:24.600 --> 02:01:29.360 So imagine taking these programs. The first day I'm getting all new commissioners. 02:01:29.360 --> 02:01:33.300 And every single program, and I don't even know how many there are, but I'm going to know. 02:01:33.780 --> 02:01:38.340 I'm going to know how many there are, and I'm going to go through each one before this election this fall. 02:01:38.600 --> 02:01:42.960 I'm going to start going through them. Is this one, do you really need this program? 02:01:43.420 --> 02:01:48.140 Now there's one, the autism one, I was up in northern Minnesota when he cut that, the president cut that. 02:01:48.480 --> 02:01:53.200 They understand that it's sad, but we know that it's for the greater good this has to be fixed. 02:01:53.560 --> 02:01:56.820 Or we're suffering now, but they get it. 02:01:57.240 --> 02:02:02.060 So you vet these programs, and that's one that would be needed, but then you got to help again. 02:02:02.380 --> 02:02:07.120 You basically look at like, what if this is my only program, and what's the return on the investment? 02:02:07.800 --> 02:02:11.740 And now you combine that with the private sector, and they shop around here, I have an autism. 02:02:12.500 --> 02:02:17.840 You know, I'm going to help this out. I'm going to help out these addicts. I'm going to help out this, whatever it is. 02:02:18.340 --> 02:02:22.560 Can you imagine taking the fraud out, and then you start fresh, you vet these programs. 02:02:22.560 --> 02:02:27.080 I would say 70% of them in Minnesota are completely gone. 02:02:28.140 --> 02:02:33.020 Because they're not, nobody benefits from, people are living off them. That just, they're not worth it. 02:02:33.020 --> 02:02:35.820 Or you're going to put tweaks in them, and then you're going to put them out there. 02:02:35.900 --> 02:02:40.320 Now these people in the private sector, all of you would know, hey, I want to help here in Princeton. 02:02:40.480 --> 02:02:43.440 There's something happening over here on 3rd Street, whatever it is, or this. 02:02:43.860 --> 02:02:49.120 You can localize it down to your local. It's already there. It's the biggest engine you've ever seen. 02:02:49.120 --> 02:02:56.360 And I parked it. When did I park it? In December of 2020, because I dove all into this election fraud. 02:02:56.960 --> 02:02:59.780 So that's been parked for five years. 02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:07.200 Same way with my Lindell Recovery Network, where every addict on there, there's over 3,000 better churches that help addicts. 02:03:07.240 --> 02:03:11.820 There's over 3,800 treatment centers. They're all faith-based in this country that work. 02:03:12.080 --> 02:03:15.060 And then there's a free online program that I went through with. 02:03:15.100 --> 02:03:17.880 I went through with those veterans back on that day that I got saved. 02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:22.240 Getting off addiction is just a bonus. Getting to Jesus gets you there, and it's free. 02:03:23.160 --> 02:03:28.300 So what did Keith Ellison do two years ago? He came after those two programs. 02:03:28.720 --> 02:03:31.740 I go to my lawyers, how can he come after them? I put in all the money. 02:03:32.940 --> 02:03:37.080 And then the first thing they found is a $100,000 deduction I didn't take. 02:03:37.980 --> 02:03:42.320 I went, I'm my own money. I go, it's bizarre. 02:03:42.860 --> 02:03:47.760 And then on the one program to build this foundation one, it never got... 02:03:47.760 --> 02:03:50.080 We never... We only tested it, the prototype admission. 02:03:50.400 --> 02:03:54.140 Because it sat there, they're going, well, you didn't do anything with it. 02:03:56.380 --> 02:03:58.580 Yeah, you just tried to steal our country with it. 02:03:58.600 --> 02:04:00.100 Just like you stole your election, Keith. 02:04:00.800 --> 02:04:02.760 You know? I mean, it's disgusting. 02:04:03.080 --> 02:04:05.720 Today, before I got here, I did a five-hour deposition. 02:04:06.160 --> 02:04:08.080 They've been attacking me every day on that. 02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:09.640 They're going, we're turning it up. 02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:11.480 But Mike Vendell, he does number one, he's a Muslim. 02:04:12.020 --> 02:04:14.680 He doesn't, he wants Sherilla. He doesn't want a Christian platform. 02:04:15.540 --> 02:04:18.120 He doesn't want a Christian governor bringing God back into Minnesota. 02:04:18.880 --> 02:04:21.500 I'm going to take in credit for it. God granted me this platform. 02:04:21.700 --> 02:04:22.700 It's all your platform. 02:04:23.300 --> 02:04:25.640 He grabbed just the loudmouth voice that couldn't talk. 02:04:29.800 --> 02:04:34.000 And so anyway, with the inner city, you take... 02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:35.160 We have all these empty buildings. 02:04:35.580 --> 02:04:38.880 And I'm going to tell you, and this is the last thing I'm going to tell you, 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:41.780 I'm going to do, because this is one of the most amazing things for this country. 02:04:42.440 --> 02:04:46.740 In December of 2019, the president and one of my best friends, Ben Carson, 02:04:47.200 --> 02:04:49.920 and I was part of it on like a wing. I knew what they were doing. 02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:51.860 And I looked at the program. I go, this is genius. 02:04:52.580 --> 02:04:58.040 They all went out to LA, and they met with the LA mayor and the governor of California. 02:04:58.960 --> 02:05:00.500 And they were all on board to do this. 02:05:00.980 --> 02:05:02.160 And here's what it is. 02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:05.300 And early in the 1970s, you all see the movie, 02:05:05.300 --> 02:05:06.560 we went over to Cuckoo's Nest. 02:05:07.740 --> 02:05:10.400 When that happened, it was in the early 70s, 02:05:10.740 --> 02:05:14.140 there were 3 million people in mental institutions across our country. 02:05:15.000 --> 02:05:18.120 Geraldo went out to New York and did a thing to see if he was inside 02:05:18.120 --> 02:05:20.300 and seen if it was real, and it was happening. 02:05:20.540 --> 02:05:21.640 Crazy stuff like that. 02:05:22.240 --> 02:05:23.100 So what did they did? 02:05:23.200 --> 02:05:26.400 The whole United States said, get these people out of there 02:05:26.400 --> 02:05:27.780 and get them back to their families. 02:05:28.360 --> 02:05:30.640 They didn't go to their families. Their families didn't want them. 02:05:30.920 --> 02:05:32.780 They hit the streets of the United States. 02:05:33.360 --> 02:05:36.180 Now there's 30-some million people. 02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:38.940 The president says it's even more when him and I talk. 02:05:39.120 --> 02:05:41.460 He goes, what do you mean?
