Mike Lindell recently announced that things at my pillow were great. They're better than ever. In fact, they're doing so great. He had to hire a couple hundred more employees just to keep up with demand. Well, then we found out this week that he has apparently been begging Fox news to start running his ads. Again, specifically though, the ads advertising his little social media platform, Frank speech, but Fox news, every step of the way, as recently as twice this past week has told him no, no, we don't want your ads anymore. You can, you can go away. We're fine. And Michael, and Dell's. Here's what he said to the daily beast. He said they denied that one. Anyway, he complained, which was after he pulled all references to the election being stolen, which was one of Fox's, you know, big issues with them. They denied that one.
Anyway, we got a message from them on Monday, September 13th, that they did not like the content of Frank speech.com. They went from not liking the content of the ad to not liking the content of a website. Well, well, yeah, because your website is also promoting the conspiracy theories that got Fox news sued to begin with. So why would they take the chance? Cause even if you don't mention it in the ad, if you're advertising something that does mention it on the site, that could still get Fox news and a lot of legal trouble and could really hurt their chances of prevailing in that $1.6 billion lawsuit. But here's what I actually think. Folks, I actually think that this has nothing to do with Frank speech. I'm sure it has a little bit to do cause I don't think Frank speeches doing too well, but I think what it is is Michael Sandel needs to get his name back out there.
He needs to remind the Fox news audience that he still exists because right now on Fox news, they don't talk about him. He doesn't go on anymore. They don't run as ads. As far as that audience is concerned for nearly all of this year, Michael Sandel is just dropped off the face of the earth because that's what Fox news had to do in response to these lawsuits. So I think it's less to do about Frank speech and more to remind people like, oh yeah, the MyPillow guy, maybe I do need a new pillow. Now, even though he's not actually advertising pillows, I think this is kind of a sneaky little underhanded way for him to admit that, Hey, things, aren't all that great back at the MyPillow Homebase. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. Maybe it doesn't matter whatsoever. But at the end of the day, the fact that Michael and Dell understands now that Fox news is very powerful in terms of driving people to his businesses, whether it's Frank speech or whether it's my pillow, because apparently he's not getting enough, just advertising on Steve show or advertising on Newsmax and one America not good enough.
And he needs that Fox news audience and Fox news keeps telling him, we don't need you Mike you're yesterday's news. You get us in trouble. You're bad for our business and that's never going to be good for Mike Lindell's business. So my prediction is that as time goes on, as Mike Lindell fades further, further, further into obscurity, and as the lawsuits against him continue to move forward, he's going to become more desperate. He's already been proven to be a fraud. That cyber symposium that he held was a complete flop for him. He did not present a single shred of evidence to back up anything. He had been saying this year, the lawsuits against him by dominion are no different. He's not going to be able to prove anything he said, because if he could, he would have already done it. And the cases would have been dismissed. He's failed every step of the way. And his businesses are starting to fail along with him. Product's being pulled from the most prominent stores that sold them. Michael and Dell is in more trouble I believe, than he is letting on. And that is why he's so desperate to get back on Fox.
