3:23Now PlayingMike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, is clearly getting more and more separated from reality by the day. In addition to his bizarre claims about Donald Trump, he now claims that he is going to start his own online store that he believes will bring Amazon to its knees. The man has no idea what he is doing, but that isn't stopping right wing wackos like Steve Bannon from giving him a platform at every possible turn. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell continues to make headlines. And unfortunately for poor Mike, every time he's making a headline, it's because he's getting more and more delusional. His latest delusion was revealed during a recent interview with Steve Bannon on Bannon's podcast called war room. Uh, and that delusion is that he is creating an online store that he says is going to rival amazon.com that big evil behemoth, that union busting Goliath and Mike Lindell has already launched his new store appropriately called my store, you know, like my pillow, my store. So he's got that go in and he thinks it's going to rival Amazon. Well, as some, uh, savvy Twitter users pointed out right now, you can really buy just a couple of things on my store. Um, American flags. Yeah, those are, they're definitely, uh, flagpoles of course, cause you need to get a flag, even one flag pole and uh, for some reason, peanut brittle.
So there's peanut brittle and flags and flagpoles. So you can get your, I pull on your flag and you can sit out there eating your peanut brittle, watching your, my store flag flap around in the wind. I mean, sure. That's, that's totally going to bring Amazon to its knees with their, you know, millions of products there, you know, contracts with companies that allow them to sell things at a lower price than other retailers, but sure, sure. Mike you're, uh, you're on your way there with this my store thing. Oh, by the way, let me ask you since you're a busy guy, how's Frank for anybody not familiar. Frank is the name of the social media platform that Mike Lindell also says he's creating that is going to rival Twitter. You know, the, the far right version of even parlor, I guess that Lendl says there's going to be no limits on free speech do and say whatever the hell you want to do, and it's going to beat Twitter.
He's actually predicting 10 billion. You own not 10 billion. I'm sorry, a billion users in no time at all, but Frank hasn't gotten off the ground and that's a very weird name by the way, for a social media network. Uh, you would think since you liked throwing the word my in front of everything, maybe you should just bring back my space, right? Uh, the truth is that Mike Lindell is not doing so well. His business is poised to lose $65 million this year due to the fact that more than two dozen major retailers have pulled his products off their shelves because he is well, he is how he is. He's so currently facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuits from dominion voting systems. And, uh, he continues to spread his election lies, which isn't helping his defense for those defamation lawsuits. So creating a competitor to Amazon, I don't know. I'd look, Hey, I'd love. There was a competitor to Amazon, right? Maybe a group that didn't have their employees have to pee in bottles and poop and bags. That would be great. Maybe a company that doesn't bust up unions and treats their workers fairly. That would be awesome. That would be a great competitor to Amazon, but unfortunately I don't think the delusional pillow man is going to give us that.
Sure.
