(intense rock music)
- Donald Trump has been promising
to start up his rallies again, but until he does,
his supporters will have to settle for the next best thing,
the My Pillow guy.
Yes, My Pillow founder and Trump supporter Mike Lindell
put together something he called the Maga Frank Rally.
So, I traveled to New Richmond, Wisconsin to see why
thousands of people gathered in a field to see a bunch
of right-wing all-stars, the ex-president on a Jumbotron,
and obviously buy some pillow swag.
- Such an amazing lineup.
- Who's your favorite with the lineup?
(crowd applauding) - Probably Mike Lindell
- Well, we're just excited to see Mike.
- He speaks the same truth that we believe.
- Mike is a true hero.
They claim the doctors the nurses are that,
but my own sister's a retired RN,
and we're not talking right now because of her beliefs.
- So when it comes to heroes, there's doctors,
there's nurses, and then there's the pillow guy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- What have you learned from Michael Lindell?
- He's a true blue red working American man.
- Which color?
- Blue and true.
- He's a blue and true- - Red-blooded white man.
That he's, you know. - Got 'em all in there.
- Yeah. - Mike Lindell has garnered
plenty of attention by focusing on one thing.
- When this election, when all this fraud is opened up
that I already know exists.
- And sure, his claims of dead people voting in Georgia
and vote-flipping in Michigan have been debunked
by various news outlets.
Still, these people were eager for more pillow talk.
What is Mike Lindell talking about that you agree with?
- Well, just the whole fraud of the election.
He's got the proof. The proof is there.
- What makes you know that Trump won?
His own Department of Justice says there was no fraud.
(woman shouting) - Just, well-
- So you don't trust the Department of Justice.
- Oh no. - You trust My Pillow guy.
- Well, I wouldn't go quite that far to say
I trust what he's saying.
- Do you trust what he's saying?
- Yeah. - Oh, so you would-
- Yeah. - You would go that far.
- Yeah.
- That's exactly where you went.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I think that we still need to find out what's going on.
We still need to look back at what happened.
- Haven't we already done that?
- Well, there's history.
Sometimes we have to go back in history
like we do in school.
- It's important to look at historical moments
from different perspectives so you have an understanding
and a whole picture.
- Right, we have to.
- So you support critical race theory?
- Donald Trump. - No.
And Lindell's newest election claim is his juiciest.
- President Trump coming back in 2024.
I'm still sticking to August of this year everybody.
That's my opinion.
- [Jordan] And what do they think of that?
- That would be nice, wouldn't it?
- That would be nice, but I don't like to get my hope up.
- I think the country's going to pot right now.
- Not the country I grew up in.
- What country did you grow up in?
- The land of the free. - This United States
of America in the 60s. - Because of the brave.
- Things were better in the 60s.
- Oh yeah, 70s, 60s, 70s.
- In the 60s, we knew which drinking fountain to drink from.
- Exactly. - Exactly, yeah.
- If Trump is reinstated in 2021,
you think the Democrats will accept it
and allow our nation to heal?
- I think there's gonna be a lot of whining still.
- Yeah, they're just not gonna let it go.
They're gonna be whining in a field
months after everything's already decided.
Anyway, are you excited about being out here in a field
to watch Trump on a Jumbotron?
- Is he gonna be on the Jumbotron?
We don't even know! - Who (beep) knows?
I'll tell you who might know.
The man who paid for a military plane flyover.
- Are they? When are they?
(woman chatting faintly) The surprise in the sky
here in about a minute, 30 seconds.
- [Crowd] Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!
- It's gonna happen any minute.
- Are they coming? - Can they see him?
(people chatting faintly)
- Yeah, that's fine.
All right, we're gonna start right now
with Brandon lead us in "God Bless America."
- [Jordan] So the planes might not be here yet,
but according to Lindell,
thanks to so-called white-hat hackers,
he already received the evidence that would lead
to Trump's imminent reinstatement.
- I've told the whole country a month and a half ago
that Donald Trump would be back in in August.
- You still believe that? - Yeah, absolutely.
- This is the crime of the century you're describing,
and they came to the My Pillow guy.
- No, they didn't come to me.
They came to me on January 9th, but I seen the evidence.
- But they still came to you.
- Because let me tell you, nobody came to me until that day,
and here's what happened.
I had my own investigations.
I had all my stuff going on,
and nobody talked about the machines.
We talked about dead people, non-residents,
all the other stuff.
I call it the organic fraud.
- Is this helping, Mike? - What?
This here is helping- - Ginning all this up.
- I already had the evidence.
You know what this is doing? Do you guys get it?
- It's perpetuating anger, - No, no, this is-
- Fear, and attacking - No, no.
- Our democracy. - You know what, you are
by saying that.
Let me tell you something.
This is a free speech rally, okay?
My platform, frank speech, for all the individuals,
whether they're Democrat or Republican.
Right now, if you talk about machines,
vaccine, the border, Jesus, you speak out for anything,
and YouTube and Vimeo and people like you guys,
the journalists, suppress it, cancel us,
or try and destroy something good that's coming out of this.
This is a free speech rally.
This isn't a Trump rally.
Are you trying to say this a Trump rally?
- It says MAGA is in the title, and he's speaking at it.
- No, you know what?
He's speaking his- - You got his picture
on the poster, Mike. - Yeah, he got suppressed.
- Unproven election fraud claims have caused
real problems in our country, and just last week,
we learned that election officials were receiving
death threats from angry Trump voters.
Have you heard about the death threats?
- On me? - On secretary of state
in Georgia? - On me, you mean?
- I'm saying there are people,
because of the conversations that are happening,
the elongation of this process,
who are now being threatened.
- Are you talking about Brad Raffensperger?
- Yes. - Brad Raffensperger
and Brian Kemp were in on this, are you kidding?
They're as compromised as they come!
- Why are these Republicans compromised?
- I don't know. Ask 'em.
- I'm asking you because you apparently are the one that-
- You need to understand. That's a deviation.
Why wouldn't you guys, when I was kicked out, would say-
- You either wanna be the guy everybody comes to,
or not the guy everybody comes to 'cause you have answers
for being the guy that
the cyberpunks come to, - Why were they compromised?
but you have no other answers. - I don't know.
- If August doesn't happen,
what do you say to these people?
- Then the states are gonna all pull it down
because they're doing audits in every state.
Pennsylvania's going on.
(speaker drowned out by four-wheeler) Wisconsin.
Maricopa will get done.
Everywhere they've done an audit, like in New Hampshire,
every place that we've done audits
that we've got the machines, it's the same thing every one.
- So there's a plan.
It's like watching that bigfoot show.
They don't find big foot at the end,
but if you tune in next week, maybe it's gonna happen.
- (laughs) I like that one. - Thank you.
You guys are horrible.
Good night. - Oh!
(pleasant music)
I wanted to talk about his pillows.
