Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
Starting point is 00:01:15 But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. 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 the the and obviously buy some pillow swag. That's an amazing lineup. Who's your favorite with the lineup? Um, probably Mike Lundell.
Starting point is 00:02:10 We're just excited to see Mike. He speaks the same truth that we believe. Mike is a true hero. You know, they, they claim, you know, the doctors and nurses are that. But my own sisters sisters are 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 What have you learned from Mike Lindell? He's a true blue, red, working American man. Which color? Blue and true. Blue and true. Red-blobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloblobloed, red-bloed, red-bloed, red-white, red-white, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, thi, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th Blue and true. It's a blue and true red blooded white man that he's you know. Got them all in there. Yeah. Mike Lindell has guarded plenty of attention by focusing on one thing. When this election when all this fraud is opened up that I already know exist. And sure his claims of dead people voting in Georgia and vote flipping in Michigan have been debunked by various
Starting point is 00:03:05 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. You know, the proof is there. What makes you know that Trump won? His own Department of Justice says there was no fraud. 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, you know, I trust what he's saying. Do you trust what he's saying?
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah. Oh, so you would... You would go that far? That's exactly where you at. 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,
Starting point is 00:03:55 so you have an understanding and a whole picture. Right, we have to. So you support critical race their choice. And Lendell'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. And why do they think of that? That would be nice, but you know, I don't like to get my hope up. I think, I think the country is going to pot right now.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Not the country did you grow up in. What, what country did you grow up in? The land of the free. The United States of America in the 60s. Things were better in the 60s. Oh yeah, 70s, 60s, 70s. Yeah, in the 60s we knew which drinking found the drink from. Exactly. If Trump is reinstated in 2021,
Starting point is 00:04:40 Do you think the Democrats will accept it and allow our nation to heal? I think there's going to be a lot of whining still. Yeah. They're just not going to let it go. They're going to 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 Jumbo-Tron? Is he going to be on the jump? thunynow to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thu. Wea? Wea? Wea? Wea? Wea? Wea? Wea? Wea? We're thu.

Are they, when are they, they have a surprise in the sky here in about, a minute, 30 seconds. It's gonna happen any minute. Can they see him?
Starting point is 00:05:27 What's up? We're going to see? All right, we're going to start right now with Brandon Lidas and God bless America. 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 told the whole country a month and a half ago that Donald Trump will be back in in August. You still believe that?
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah, absolutely. This is the crime of the century you're describing, and they came to the my pillow guy. No, they didn't seen the evidence. But but they still 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 that my stuff going on and nobody talked about the machines we talked about dead people non-residents all the other stuff I call have the evidence. You know what this is doing? Do you guys get it?
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's perpetuating anger, fear, and attacking our democracy. No, no, 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, thk, thk, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and tha, and threatha, and threatha, and threatha, and threaty. thia, thususus, thus, thusus, thia, and thia, and thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and this is, and thi, and this is a this is a this is a thi, and this is a threaten, anda, this isa, this isa, anda, this isa'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, th. If you talk about machines, vaccine, the border, Jesus, you speak out for anything, and YouTube and Vimeo, and people like you guys, journalists, suppress it, cancel us or try and destroy something good
Starting point is 00:06:53 that's coming out of this. This is a free speech rally. This isn't a Trump rally? Did you call, are you trying to say this? It says Megga is in the title and he's speaking at it. No, he, you know what, he's speaking. 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Have you heard about the death threats? I mean? I'm saying there are people because of their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the are people because of the conversations that are happening, the elongation of this process, we're now being threatened. Are you talking about Brad Rassaburger? Yes. Brad Rassaburger and Brian Kemp were in on this. Are you kidding? There's a compromise as they come.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Why are these Republicans compromised? I don't ask you because? Apparently the one that you need to understand that's a deviation. Why wouldn't you guys when I was kicked out You either want to be the guy everybody comes to or not the guy everybody comes to because you have answers For being the guy that the cyberpunks come to but you have no other answer if August doesn't? If August doesn't happen what do you say to these people? The states are gonna all pull it down because they're doing audits in every place they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all audits are are are are done. Everywhere they've done an audit like in New Hampshire, they've, every place that we've done audits that we've done, 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 Bigfoot at the end, but if you tune in next week, maybe it's going to happen. Thank you.
