Mike Lindell and Sean Hannity.
Remember Mike Lindell recently was
upset that Sean Hannity wasn't
covering his failed cyber
symposium, which if you ask me,
Sean Hannity was doing him a favor.
But nonetheless, Hannity still
promotes Mike Lindell's products,
the My Pillow products,
where presumably he sells pillows.
>> I think so.
>> Yeah, I think so.
The thing is, look, live reads
are sometimes clunky, when you're
doing promotions they can come
across as not so great, especially
if it's in the wrong context.
Now, Sean Hannity as a professional
broadcaster, someone who's been
around for quite some time,
you would expect him to understand
that pitching certain things, slang
in certain things should be done in
the appropriate context.
And here he is proving just
how good he is at making
those judgments.
>> How would you like to being
couple today as an American and
you can't get to the airport?
What do you think in your life
has had?
>> You're one of those family
members, I bet you're not sleeping.
I don't even think
My Pillow can do it.
Mypillow.com, that's where
I go I fall asleep faster,
I stay asleep longer.
Is there going to be a lot of
sleepless nights for so
many of our fellow Americans,
you got to get them home.
>> Not every segue can be
super smooth.
>> Do you- >> He did his best.
>> Do you think producers wrote
that for him?
Or do you think that he came up
with that on the spot?
>> I think he came up
with that on the spot.
I think maybe the later part
of that, I think the segue he came
up with on the spot.
The later stuff I think,
was probably scripted.
>> That might have been the worst
segue to a promotion I've ever
heard.
>> Yeah.
[LAUGH] >> I think when you say
that, I think what you mean is that
we're talking about like people who
are desperately trying to flee
a despotic regime- >> Yeah, yeah,
>> It's a bad way to do it.
But I think it's under recognized
that he started off by saying,
I don't even think of my
pillow can do it.
He literally started the plug with
saying it wouldn't help.
Honestly, you could get it if you
want, but it's not
going to accomplish the goal.
>> It's not a great plug.
>> That's a weird way to start.
>> Yeah, it's not a great promotion
of a product anyway, yeah.
>> I would want another read for
free, I wouldn't
want to have to pay for that read.
You saw the one the day before,
right?
About the phones.
>> No, tell me about it.
>> He said there's not only
a stampede in Afghanistan, there's
a stampede against high prices.
>> No I can't.
>> The carriers like AT&T, Verizon,
good American families is switching
to Pure Talk.
>> This is the problem with
advertising.
Because look, Sean Hannity clearly
was not subtle and
also use the wrong context to pitch
these things.
But even when the segue is all
right, even when the segue uses
the, what's the right context?
It uses context that or
is in the context of something that
isn't incredibly offensive.
>> Yeah.
>> And making light of people
suffering, right?
It's still so cheesy.
>> Yeah.
>> And that's the thing,
that's what advertisers want.
Advertisers want you to bake it in,
bake it in to your show.
>> [LAUGH] Exactly,
like one division or something.
>> I hate it.
>> Yeah.
>> I hate so much.
>> And there's an added layer,
that I don't think is
acknowledged enough.
For him he's like,
people are really suffering,
sleepless nights.
So sleepless that even if you had
a my pillow, it wouldn't help.
But for me,
I go to sleep with no problem.
I sleep super late.
>> Totally.
>> Got no cares whatsoever,
you plebes though,
it's tough times,
better get a my pillow,
it won't help, it's not enough.
But for me, I could sleep at
a rock, it wouldn't matter,
I'd be fine.
>> Yeah, yeah,
that's such a good point.
>> I would just be like, man,
that news at Afghanistan was rough,
the news has been really rough,
hasn't it?
It's tough,
you end the day exhausted,
My Pillow.
That's at least got a little
bit of buffer.
There's a little bit of a pillow-
>> A little bit.
>> Between the two stories.
Not like, I don't even want to do
any more examples because they're
unthinkable and cruel but- >> But
it is interesting because he has no
problem with any of it, right?
He buffer, no buffer,
it doesn't matter, he's collecting
money from Mike Lindell's company
to promote My Pillow.
So as long as the check clears,
who cares?
Who cares will context that's in.
Who cares how lame the segue is?
>> Yeah.
>> For them, it's just more money,
more revenue into his little
radio show that he does.
>> Yeah.
>> By the way, that's
the other thing.
We're talking about anchors who
likely take in millions of dollars
a year in their contracts,
certainly someone like
Sean Hannity does.
And then they do their grifty side
hustles with radio shows and stuff,
and it's like it's not enough for
you?
How much
more content do you need to do?
>> Actually, I don't know,
I think he really likes talking.
I'm usually good at the end of
the day, but, yeah, we've still got
two more days for him to do these.
He's done two,
I don't think he's getting
much push back that he cares about.
It seems ridiculous and
it's callous.
Let's also point out that he kept
saying, my heart really goes out to
the Americans over there.
What about the people aren't
Americans?
>> He didn't talk about that.
>> That are also having sleepless
nights.
>> Come on, do you really think
that Sean Hannity relieving cares
about the Americans over there?
He doesn't care
about the Americans over here.
>> He pretended the segment to care
he said, he said we do owe
something to those that helped us.
He said we
should send 50,000 soldiers.
>> 50,000 soldiers where?
To Afghanistan?
>> What he said to Kabul.
I think he means we're never
getting out of there.
>> Yeah.
>> I think he's perfectly fine with
a never ending presence there.
But he at least tried briefly to
pretend to be, to have some empathy
but it fell apart once
the Mike Lindell thing started.
>> It's super hollow, and
look,- >> Yeah.
>> Maybe Mike Lindell has been
keeping track of the awful segues.
And that was what also motivated
the rant that he went on against
Sean Hannity this week,
which I enjoy.
[LAUGH] >> So
why don't we take a little,
take a gander, let's watch it.
>> Where is Fox?
Newsmax, they show only Newsmax
the morning of the symposium.
Do you know why Brandon?
I talked to the owner and Newsmax,
this is pretty sad.
He got sued because that
Fox would not run.
>> I think they [INAUDIBLE].
>> And he asked me, did anybody
else run your ad Mike or
turn down your ad?
I said no, none of them.
ABC ran it CBS, NBC,
all of them, CNN,
everybody else turned them down.
No nobody else, but Fox and
Fox Business News.
Fox, you need to step it up and
help save our country.
I seen stuff by John Bangino, and
there he goes.
I'll say whatever I want in my show
and people were going after him.
You know what?
Then you better tell him,
you better get out there and
talk about tonight.
Sean Hannity told me once he said,
Mike, I could say anything I want
on Fox, as long as it's the truth.
Well, the truth is Sean,
we had a cyber symposium and
the truth it was attacked and
hacked by a discharge merit.
And the truth is, you're not saying
anything on your show,
neither are you Laura.
Trucker tried a few times to talk
about the 2020 election,
I give him some credit.
I thought that might be a
breakthrough, it was a couple weeks
ago, but none of them are talking.
What is Fox doing to you?
You're so worried about your money,
all for you.
You're so worried about your
money and your job.
You know what?
Tina Peters here, she's left,
she's a hero.
[LAUGH] God.
>> [LAUGH] We talked about that
other show yesterday, and it's even
funnier the second time around.
Because when you watch something
the second time,
you catch things that you might
have missed the first time.
I loved how the OAN host tries to
look all dignified with his like
suit and his glasses and
he's looking all serious.
>> Yeah.
>> He's like moving his papers.
>> [LAUGH] and he's like
this lunatic.
>> He raises a good point.
I think I have a follow up here
at some point.
>> Let's face like he's like,
yeah- >> Yeah.
>> No, this is good stuff, this is
very serious, I'm paying very close
attention to what you're saying,
let me move my papers around,
I'm moving my papers very
serious person here.
The John Bangino.
>> John Ban Jovi, you're
Sam Hannity, I thought Trucker.
Come on, get out of my back,
does he watch any of these shows?
I don't,
I don't know what their names is,
he doesn't care at all,
John Bangino.
>> No, I love it, I love it,
I love it.
It's the best thing that
Mike Lindell's dug.
