CHARLES: PRESIDENT TRUMP BRINGING UP MY PILLOW FOUNDER
MIKE LINDELL TO ADDRESS AMERICA
AFTER COMMITTING HIS COMPANY TO
HELP FIGHT AGAINST THE
CORONAVIRUS.
CORONAVIRUS. >> MY PILLOW HAS DESIGNATED SOME
OF ITS CALL CENTER TO HELP U.S.
COMPANIES NAVIGATE THE MANY
ISSUES THAT RESULTED FROM THIS
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC. WE HAVE DEDICATED 75% OF MY
MANUFACTURING TO PRODUCE COTTON
FACE MASKS.
FACE MASKS. IN THREE DAYS I WAS UP TO 10,000
A DAY.
A DAY. BY FRIDAY I WILL BE UP TO 50,000
A DAY.
A DAY. CHARLES: DESPITE THE GOOD WILL,
THE MEDIA POUNCED, CRITICIZING
LINDELL FOR PRAISING GOD DURING
HIS SPEECH.
HIS SPEECH. TO RESPOND, I WOULD LIKE TO
WELCOME THE MAN HIMSELF.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON.
IT’S BEEN AN AMAZING DAY, I’LL
TELL YOU.
TELL YOU. CHARLES: YOU KNOW, --
[ SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY ]
>> JUST SPEAKING OUT FOR JESUS,
IT’S BEEN UNBELIEVABLE.
CHARLES: WELL, MIKE, THEY WERE
DISSING YOU EVEN AS YOU WERE
WALKING TO THE LECTERN, TO THE
PODIUM.
PODIUM. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?
YOU’VE GOT SUCH A REMARKABLE
STORY.
STORY. YOU WERE ADDICTED TO DRUGS, YOU
CLEANED YOURSELF UP, YOU MAKE A
PRODUCT THAT COULD EASILY BE
MADE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HIRE
AMERICANS, NOW YOU ARE DOING
SOMETHING SO AMAZING, PUSHING
OUT MASKS TO HELP PROTECT OUR
HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
COULD YOU IMAGINE FIRST OF ALL,
YOU BEING IN THE ROSE GARDEN
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES SAYING ALL THESE GREAT
THINGS AND IT WOULD BE GREETED
IN SUCH A MANNER?
IT’S CRAZY.
IT’S CRAZY. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I WAS JUST ON ANOTHER SHOW A
LITTLE BIT AGO AND I HEARD JIM
ACOSTA, STANDING TEN FEET FROM
ME BACK IN THE ROSE GARDEN AND I
LOOKED OVER AT HIM AND I’M JUST
GOING YOU KNOW, I GO WHAT KIND
OF PERSON ARE YOU AND THEN I
FIND OUT HE SAID THIS ABOUT ME,
THIS TERRIBLE THING ABOUT ME
TODAY AND LIKE I’M PROMOTING MY
COMPANY.
COMPANY. EVERYBODY KNOWS MY PILLOWS.
MY EMPLOYEES ARE WORKING
DILIGENTLY, THEY ARE WORKING
HARD RIGHT NOW MAKING MASKS TO
HELP PEOPLE.
HELP PEOPLE. I WANT TO GET THIS COUNTRY BACK
JUST LIKE THE PRESIDENT DOES,
AND WE ALL DO, JUST GET PEOPLE
BACK.
BACK. WE GOT TO GET OUR HEALTH CARE
[ INAUDIBLE ] SOI I WANT I WANT
PART.
PART. I THINK THEY’RE JUST UPSET
BECAUSE I DID, I ASKED THE
PRESIDENT IF I COULD SAY
SOMETHING OFF THE CUFF AND I
SAID YOU KNOW, EVERYONE’S AT
HOME RIGHT NOW AND I SAID GOD’S
GIVEN US GRACE WHEN THIS
PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED BECAUSE WE
HAD TURNED OUR BACKS ON GOD, WE
HAD TURNED OUR NATION AND TURNED
OUR BACK AND NOW USE THIS TIME
TO SIT AT HOME WITH YOUR
FAMILIES, READ THE BIBLE AND
SPEND THAT TIME AND IF WE PRAY,
WE ARE ALL GOING TO GET THROUGH
THIS.
THIS. THE GREAT ADMINISTRATION WE
HAVE.
HAVE. THAT’S WHAT I SAID.
I GOT ATTACKED FOR IT.
IT’S SAD.
IT’S SAD. IT REALLY IS.
YOU KNOW, I PRAY FOR OUTLETS
LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE
GREAT IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE ARE
ALL UNITING NOW.
CHARLES: YOU WERE ATTACKED EVEN
BEFORE YOU GOT TO THE BIBLE
VERSE.
VERSE. A TWEET WENT OUT AND YOU WERE
BEING CALLED, I WANT TO SHARE
IT, MAYBE THE AUDIENCE HASN’T
SEEN IT, TRUMP JUST CALLED THE
MY PILLOW GUY UP TO THE PODIUM
IN THE ROSE GARDEN.
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
THAT KIND OF ELITIST DRIPPING
FROM A TWEET FROM SOMEONE WHO IS
NOT ON THE FRONT LINES OF THIS
FIGHT, WHO HASN’T DONE THE
THINGS THAT YOU DO, I THINK IS
DESPICABLE BUT LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, I SAW THE WORLD, THIS
COUNTRY, RALLY AROUND YOU ON
SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE I HAVE NOT
SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT BELIEFS,
POLITICAL BELIEFS, PEOPLE WHO
DON’T LIKE EACH OTHER, THEY ALL
LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU. SO YOU HAVE TO BE VERY PROUD,
TAKE A VICTORY LAP, KNOW WHAT
YOU’RE DOING, THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC REALLY APPRECIATES.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND
I THANK EVERYONE.
THIS ISN’T A POLITICAL THING.
YOU KNOW, WE’VE GOT TO GET BACK
TO GOD AND PRAYING.
I’M SO GLAD EVERYBODY DID GET
BEHIND ME BECAUSE THAT MEANS A
LOT, BECAUSE I SAID IT BEFORE,
MY PILLOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN JUST A
PLATFORM FOR GOD TO USE FOR
GREAT THINGS WHICH I THINK WE
ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
GREATEST REVIVAL IN HISTORY TO
BRING PEOPLE BACK TO GOD.
I’M SO THANKFUL EVERYBODY FROM
ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND ALL SIDES
OF THE POLITICAL DID THIS
AGAINST THIS EVIL MEDIA THAT’S
OUT THERE [ INAUDIBLE ].
WHATEVER THEY ARE, I DON’T KNOW
WHY THEY DO THAT.
I CAN’T EXPLAIN -- I DON’T KNOW
JIM ACOSTA.
JIM ACOSTA. I NEVER MET HIM BEFORE.
YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW? CHARLES: YEAH.
CHARLES: YEAH. BUT THEY BELITTLE YOU BECAUSE
YOU ARE A SMALL BUSINESS GUY BUT
YOU HIRE A LOT OF AMERICANS, YOU
ARE CONSERVATIVE, YOU BELIEVE IN
GOD, THEY BELITTLED YOU OUT THE
GATE AND THEY JUST DON’T REALIZE
THAT’S ANOTHER DESPICABLE KIND
OF THING.
OF THING. THE DEPLORABLES KIND OF COMMENT.
LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE
DOING FOR A MOMENT.
LET’S UNDERSCORE THE EFFORT YOU
ARE DOING.
ARE DOING. YOU HAVE TAKEN 75% OF YOUR
MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES, YOU
ARE CHURNING OUT IS IT 50,000
MASKS A DAY?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. WE ARE GETTING UP TO THAT BY
FRIDAY.
FRIDAY. WE HAVE ALSO CREATED A TASK
FORCE BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING
OTHER COMPANIES REACHING OUT FOR
THIS, HOW CAN WE HELP.
I ALREADY SET UP FOUR COMPANIES
WHERE THEY ARE MAKING THE MASKS
NOW, TOO, THAT ALL HAVE TIES TO
MY PILLOW WHERE MY TOPPER WAS
BEING MADE AND ALL THESE OTHER
PARTS.
PARTS. WE HAVE DONE THAT AND WE HAVE
ALSO CREATED AND WE WILL HAVE A
WEBSITE UP SO PEOPLE CAN REACH
OUT TO FIND OUT WHAT’S AVAILABLE
OUT THERE AND [ INAUDIBLE ] I
DEDICATED TO THAT, TOO.
WE’RE JUST GETTING OVERWHELMED.
I HAD 708 TEXT MESSAGES.
I DIDN’T KNEW I EVEN HAD THAT
MANY PEOPLE THAT KNEW MY PHONE
NUMBER WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE YESTERDAY.
THE E-MAILS, EVERYTHING FLOODED
IN.
IN. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WE WILL
GET TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU
OUT THERE.
OUT THERE. EVERYBODY HAS BEEN E-MAILING IN
AND WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET
THAT.
THAT. WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO GET N95
MASKS.
MASKS. I’M TRYING TO GET SANITIZERS
THAT LAST 24 HOURS.
I’M DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO
HELP TO GET THESE PRODUCTS TO
THE RIGHT PLACES THAT WE’RE
SHORT ON.
SHORT ON. I WANT TO GET PEOPLE BACK TO
WORK.
WORK. ONE OF THE THINGS THE PRESIDENT
AND I TALKED ABOUT, WE TALKED
AFTERWARD, HERE, CHURCHES CAN’T
OPEN AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A
HARDWARE STORE SELLING AUTO
PARTS AND NOBODY IS BEING
CAREFUL AND HERE, THE CHURCHES
ARE AN ESSENTIAL, YOU KNOW,
ESSENTIAL [ INAUDIBLE ] TO
GETTING OUT OF THIS.
THESE BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPEN
LIKE WALMART AND GROCERY STORES,
THEY NEED TO BE TAKING
PRECAUTIONS LIKE THE PRESIDENT
SAID TO BE ABLE TO -- THEY
SHOULD HAVE SOMEBODY RIGHT AT
THE DOOR MAKING SURE YOU USE
SANITIZERS, COME IN WITH A MASK,
AND THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOULD HAVE
MASKS ON, JUST LIKE I SET UP MY
PILLOW.
PILLOW. WHEN WE START COMING BACK, WE
WANT TO BE SAFE, YOU KNOW?
CHARLES: WELL, MIKE, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING ON THE
SHOW.
SHOW. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU STAND
FOR.
FOR. YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM.
YOU FELL ON HARD TIMES, PULLED
YOURSELF UP BUT YOU HAVE NEVER
JUST THOUGHT ABOUT YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT
OTHERS AND THE COUNTRY APPLAUDS
YOU FOR IT.
THANKS FOR SPENDING SOME TIME
