 The Trump-supporting CEO of my pillow Mike Lindell appeared on Newsmax TV to talk about how he was banned from Twitter I'm assuming he was planning to complain about how he's being censored and this is cancel culture But the interview itself came to a screeching halt when he said something that Prompted the anchors to stop the interview because they were worried that this guy was gonna get them sued so they basically had to read what appeared to be a legal statement from Newsmax TV and Hilarity ensued take a look. I don't want to say much more about this because I don't want to spoil it But this was absolutely golden What what happened with your Twitter account and the company page Well first mine was taken down because we have all the election problem with these Dominion machines We have a hundred percent proof and then I when they took it down Mike Mike, and then I'm gonna put it back up my personal I put it Mike thank you very much Mike Mike, I You're talking about machines that that we at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of Those kinds of allegations We just want to let people know that there's nothing substantive that we've seen and let me read you something there Well, there were some clear evidence of some cases of vote fraud and election of regularities the election results in every state were Certified and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final the courts have also supported that view So we wanted to talk to you about Canceling culture if you will we don't want to re-litigate Because we we understand where you are so let me ask you this Do you think that this should be temporary because it appears to be permanent could you make an argument that it is temporary? What? Could you make an argument that this could be a temporary banning rather than permanent? No, I wanted to be a permanent because you know what they did this because I'm revealing all the evidence on Friday of all the election Problem with these machines, so I'm sorry. Okay, Mike. Can I ask our producers? Can we get out of here, please? I don't want to have to keep going over this Mike hold on a second everybody hold on a second Mike Mike hold on one second Let's talk a little bit about just what is happening overall in terms of censorship And so out of my company and myself in this country. It's cancelled culture. Wow. I mean, I don't know what they expected because Mike Lindell has kind of proven that he is a deranged lunatic And he was banned from twitter specifically because he was spreading misinformation about the election So did you not expect him to bring up dominion because I felt like if you were going to invite him on your program That would be part of the conversation But the reason why for those of you who don't know newsmax was really worried about what he was saying there And they had to stop him was because they don't want to be sued In fact after they were spreading misinformation about the election and defaming dominion Well, they threatened them with a lawsuit So they had to basically come out with this apology and statement saying that there's no evidence that dominion was involved In flipping the votes. It was this big thing So they're trying to move past that and then they bring on this jackass Who's claiming that dominion was part of the effort that led to the election being stolen, which there's no evidence for But they literally had no choice like legally they were obligated to stop him And read that legal statement. It was just it was hilarious Play stupid games win stupid prizes Invite lunatics on your program Don't be surprised when they say things that are so crazy that you're going to be worrying whether or not you'll be sued And I'd love the plot twist in that segment I don't know if you caught it But when uh, the anchor tried to change the subject back to twitter and asked them So do you think that you can make the case that your twitter band should be? You know temporary instead of permanent The ceo michael indel says no, I want it to be permanent Well, then why are you complaining if they literally gave you exactly what you wanted? What's the problem? You say That you've been banned and this is bad, but yet you want the band to be permanent Now, I don't know what he was trying to say like maybe the point was that well I want to be permanently banned because this just proves that the left supports cancel culture And they want to censor conservatives. Maybe that was the point, but overall the way that he Was trying to make his case as to why twitter banning him was bad But yet he wants the band to be permanent like it's just it's incoherent like I don't get what the overall message is And for whatever reason right wingers have become so accustomed to like playing the victims that now whenever they're banned from like twitter Or facebook or whatever they conflate that to Their free speech rights being violated You know how like we have the first amendment and the government isn't supposed to censor us Well, now if a private company like twitter banned you that apparently is tantamount to your free speech being violated This is why they need to teach civics in high school because nobody knows The meanings of the political terms that they use and we just need to like get a little refresher because um That doesn't mean your free speech was violated Now, uh, you know, there's the conversation that we all should be having About how these silicon valley tech companies have way too much power and they need to be uh reigned in We need to regulate them more We need to use antitrust laws to break them up Nationalize them if need be regulate them as public utilities. That's a legitimate conversation But what republicans like to do donald trump michael indell is They'll get banned After they have had Warnings and then they play the victim immediately like donald trump people forget this He wasn't just bad immediately when he started to spread misinformation Um about the election which ultimately led to the capital insurrection that culminated in, you know him getting banned from twitter um Every single tweet almost that he made after the election was a lie And twitter flagged all of them So it wasn't until like a month or so later when there was actually violence as a result of his lies That they took any action like and and so it's shocking to me that folks defend individuals like michael indell and donald trump when normal folks get banned all the time from twitter and nobody makes a people about that But the minute it's like this right winger who literally incites violence And michael indell is part of that too if you're lying about the election That led to people thinking that they needed to storm the capital to save democracy you're part of that as well But like that's that's when people like Choose to die on this hill no i'm i'm pro free speech. So we literally should allow people who incite riots To have access to a twitter account like it's weird to me But it's funny that like this dude was going on there He was gonna play the victim and newsmax thought they had this easy segment where you know We'll just bring this idiot on he'll talk about cancel culture and how the left wants to censor conservatives But they uh, they got something that they did not bargain for They got him saying something that would almost get them sued And so now I really want to see more conservatives go on newsmax tv and mention dominion So that way they have that uh Little scrambling session where they try to like stop them and um It gets to a point where they just leave because they don't want to be involved They don't want to be personally legally accountable. I love this Every second of that was golden
