You ever see this guy with the pillows on flaps?
My pillow guy, Mike Lindell.
He is the greatest to my pillow guy.
Mike Lindell.
And he's been with us right from the beginning.
Hi, everyone.
This is Patrick Colbeck.
I'm filling in for Mike on today's Mike Lindell show.
I hope all is well with you and your family.
We got a lot of stuff to cover today in today's broadcast.
As usual, we're going to get the latest from Allison Steinberg out in D.C. in the wake of the passage of the continuing resolution to keep the government doors open.
And then I'm going to actually kind of walk you through what was in that amended continuing resolution and kind of walk you through kind of a unique perspective of that legislation from the perspective of somebody who has served in the legislature before, albeit it was state legislature, but the same rules apply for the most part.
And we're going to walk you through where these provisions are and how it's organized and what the key items are that you may or may not have heard about in the media so far.
And then we're also going to go through Operation Arctic Frost.
We're going to go over what is it and how does it tie to some of the recent events that we've seen, such as President Trump's recent pardons that he's issued.
And then also we're going to give you an update on Mike's legal defense status.
Mike's been spending a lot of time with lawyers over the last few days.
That's why you're seeing a lot of me and not a lot of him.
And he's building a pretty good case.
And I'm helping him out with that when I'm not on air.
And we're getting some good information out there.
But I'll tell you, we're getting very optimistic about the opportunity to kind of set the record straight on everything that has been happening to Mike and how he was targeted as part of that Operation Arctic Frost and so many other initiatives from really bad people that were targeting him and trying to take out him and my pillow.
But you know what?
We're going to kick things off as usual with an update from Allison Steinberg out in D.C. Allison, you there with us?
Hey, Patrick, great to see you.
How you doing today?
Hey, Allison.
All right.
Good to see you.
Good.
Well, as you alluded to, the government is finally reopened after 43 very long, painful days.
We're finally back up and running over here on the Hill.
House Democrats voted last night, 222 to 209, to reopen the government.
There were six Democrats that joined nearly all Republicans and two Republicans that voted no to reopen the government.
That included Congressman Thomas Massey and Congressman Stuby.
And I will get to Stuby more in a moment here.
But basically, as we've discussed before, this revised legislation includes a mini bus, as they're calling it, of three appropriation bills providing funding through September.
And it keeps the rest of the government open at current levels until January of 2026.
So we could find ourselves in this mess in just a couple of months from now.
But for now, the lights are back up on and up and running.
We now, again, have funding for programs like SNAP.
And within this new revised legislation, there is also protections for federal workers.
So anyone who was fired during this period of time has now been reinstated.
And there's also protections ensuring that in the event of a future government shutdown, there will be no more rifts or reduction in force.
But interestingly enough, the major concession from Democrats is the fact that the bill does not include an extension of the enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.
There was nothing addressed in regards to that, which is seemingly the entire reason the government was shut down.
This is the whole point of why they kept voting to keep the government shut down, was to address this.
And that was still not addressed with this revised legislation.
In fact, I did run into Congresswoman Teresa Fernandez last night, and I asked her, was it worth it?
Was it worth keeping the government shut down for over a month?
For what?
Right?
Take a listen to what she said.
Congresswoman, was the shutdown worth it, seeing as you guys didn't get what you wanted?
We will always fight for health care for the American people.
And I think that that is the key about what we have always been working for.
Democrats are the ones who created Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and we will continue to make sure that we make health care affordable.
We are going to be bringing a bill to extend those tax budgets.
That seems what we're talking about.
So, since Democrats created Obamacare, since Democrats created Obamacare, how is this a Republican health care crisis?
Well said, Allison.
Well said.
Thank you.
I can't tell you.
When I was in the Michigan legislature, I was fighting against the Affordable Care Act.
That's actually one of the main reasons why I ran for office.
I actually read all 1,017 pages of H.R. 3590, I think, was the early version of the bill.
And I said, my wife's a pediatrician now retired.
But when I read that, I go, this has nothing to do with care.
It has everything to do with control and making the insurance companies rich.
And President Trump exposed that beautifully during this shutdown, I think.
Yeah, you know, as unfortunate as the shutdown has been, there's been a number of silver linings throughout.
And I think this whole scam that is Obamacare is definitely one of them.
We absolutely need massive reform to the current system that is, like you said, designed to, you know, benefit the insurance companies and the government officials that get kickbacks from it.
So it's just so corrupt to its core.
And I'm looking forward to see what the alternative solutions are.
Like we've discussed, President Trump is now talking about leaving government out of it entirely and just giving the money directly to the American people so that we can better decide what sort of plan best suits us.
So now that the government's open, we can start to have these talks and these discussions.
Hopefully we can come together in a bipartisan effort to do that.
But I don't see Democrats being, you know, too easy to work with on this.
They seem pretty dead set in their ways about the current system, wanting to keep that in place.
So it'll be a lot better.
Let's just drill down on that.
The Trump statement about giving the money directly to the American people.
Do you realize how powerful that statement is?
I mean, it's really getting to the point of saying, guys, first of all, it's your money in the first place.
You should be the one controlling how this money is being spent.
And as somebody who's gone through a lot of family issues dealing with hospitals recently, you can see how the insurance games are being played, not to our favor.
And simple things.
And I'm going to put this out as a public service announcement now for everybody that's out there because we had to go through it and other people I know have had to go through it.
If you are sent to the hospital and you are a senior and they put you into a bed in the hospital, make sure that you are admitted and you're not just simply there under observation.
If you're admitted, Medicare will pay everything.
If you're under observation, you are liable for 20% of the bill, which can run at like 30, 50K a day in some hospitals.
So just a PSA there.
That's another reason why what President Trump is so said about that is so powerful.
We should be in control of those dollars and how we spend them on our health care and not the insurance companies and frankly, not government at all.
And that's what Obamacare is all about is government telling us how we can spend our money.
Yep, that's exactly right.
And so obviously, I guess it's no surprise there that Democrats want to keep the current system going because they're benefiting off of it.
If the American people actually get to make the decision for themselves, then they're out of money.
What a surprise.
They want to tell us how to run our lives.
Exactly.
Nothing new there, Patrick, unfortunately.
But it is an issue, again, that we are looking forward to hearing more about.
Excited to hear the discussions and solutions that ultimately come from this.
So lots of work to be done there.
I did ask Al Green about that last night, about President Trump's proposal, and he said this is a massive redistribution of wealth scheme spearheaded by President Trump, which I thought was hilarious.
But anyway, another big issue.
Did Green have a new deal?
Sorry.
That's very funny.
No, he didn't, but others did.
I will get to that in a moment.
There was a big climate press conference this morning, apparently on day one of the government reopening.
Democrats just can't wait to start talking about the climate change issue that's going to kill us all, right?
But before we get there, I do want to note that last night there was an interesting development with the Epstein files.
As we know, there's this discharge petition that is actually a bipartisan effort to bring the full files forward in their entirety without any redactions.
We now have the final signature that was needed on that as Adelina Grajalva, the newest member of Congress, was just sworn in last night.
Interestingly enough, despite that discharge petition being worked on on the side, Congressman Tim Burchett actually tried to bring a motion to bring the vote to the floor to get this resolved immediately.
And Democrats blocked it.
So that was very interesting.
If they care so much about full transparency for the American people and giving justice to the victims, then why not vote to bring it forward immediately?
Well, no, they blocked it because they have their other separate agenda going on, which clearly doesn't include transparency for the American people.
Because if it did, they would have done it last night.
And again, it gets back to the issue of, well, if they had so much dirt on President Trump and if this was such a pressing matter to them, why wouldn't they have dealt with this during the four years of Biden?
So very interesting stuff there.
Another interesting development that happened last night was this provision in the Senate spending bill.
This was a provision that was made when the revised legislation was in the Senate pertaining to Arctic Frost.
A provision in the Senate spending bill to end the government shutdown included money for members to sue the government if their records are investigated without their notice.
So as we know, Arctic Frost, hundreds of people were targeted, including a number of senators.
These senators now have protections included in this provision in the new legislation that was passed and sent to the president's desk last night that gives them $500,000 to push back, which is just kind of insulting.
Like, I think Arctic Frost obviously is totally wrong.
Never should have happened in the first place, complete weaponization of our government.
But what about the innocent Americans who were also targeted, namely Mike Lindell and Brudy Giuliani, and all the rest?
Shouldn't they have the same protections awarded to them?
So that seems like a big slap in the face from big government to the American people, especially the brave men and women who stood up to the tyrannical government for years and lost everything.
Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up because we're going to go through that in a little bit more detail and actually show people how this shows up in the bill.
It's not a case of saying these eight senators targeted by our Operation Arctic Frost can sue the government.
No, no, no, no, it's not that clear.
We're going to walk them through the actual wording that was in the bill and hopefully everybody will get an understanding of how the sausage is actually made on that.
And I, you know, Mike had it, I was talking to Mike about this issue a little bit earlier today, and he's got a different perspective on it.
He said, sir, maybe this is an indication that they're finally taking this seriously and that they want to hold the federal government accountable because I've heard, and I don't know if you've heard this, but I heard that, you know, Speaker Mike Johnson was talking to some members that were concerned with this provision being in violation of the 14th Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and they were not going to vote for it because of that.
And he, I understand, promised them or assured them that, no, we're going to make good on this and make sure that we are providing security for everybody down the road.
So maybe this is just a way of getting it into the attention of the legislature across the board and getting it into the media so that we can start talking about the need to help out everybody and actually abide by the Constitution.
Yeah, well, that would certainly be nice.
But yeah, that's an interesting point.
I hadn't considered that.
I know Mike Johnson also said he was not thrilled that they crammed that through at the last minute.
And that's actually the reason, getting back to the one of two Democrats who voted not to reopen the government, Congressman Stuby, said he was just appalled that this was crammed in there, even alluding to the fact that many of the House members that voted to reopen the government didn't fully read the bill, because if they had and knew that that was included, then maybe they wouldn't have voted for it.
That gets into a whole nother issue of why are members of government or Congress not reading bills in full.
Whole other issue, but this is just a mess.
And I'm glad you're going to break it down further on the show later.
So we'll be looking forward to that.
The last thing I wanted to touch on, it's been such a busy news day.
There is no shortage of news today, Patrick.
But the last thing, like I touched on a moment ago, was the climate scam that I guess Democrats are still pushing.
I thought this, you know, was dead and gone, even especially since we recently heard from Bill Gates saying that he was wrong.
Bill Gates admitted the climate change issue was actually a scam and that we've put far too much money and resources into an issue that is not an existential crisis and that we should be redirecting efforts to other areas.
Because Nancy Pelosi held a conference this morning about this matter and how important climate change still is and how we need to be focusing on it and how she's so upset that members of Congress can't be overseas at COP 30 to get in on this issue and help promote the urgency of it all.
I just had some questions for her.
I wanted to ask what she thought about Bill Gates' comments on this very recently.
So anyhow, I tried to ask her a question.
She, again, was holding a press conference this morning.
I was right there front and center.
And she actually had the audacity to pretend like she didn't see me.
This is very funny.
I was really trying to get a question, but she would not call on me if her life depended on this.
I'm getting up in age.
I have little cataracts developing every once in a while.
You never know.
Well, that's not why.
Any questions on the subject for our colleagues?
See?
Yes, sir.
There.
I thought I saw someone over there.
No.
Anybody?
Okay.
Well, that's it.
Hearing no other questions.
Thank you all so much for coming.
And again, Congresswoman Bill.
Well, all right.
That's pretty blatant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think it was the vision issue there.
That's the problem.
I think it's the fact that she doesn't like my questions.
I think so.
Yeah.
She's got this filter on.
Well, I appreciate the update.
There's so much going on up there.
You're right.
I mean, there's stuff to go off and highlight what to nail down.
But you know, the nice thing about Lindell TV, I think we're hitting the news stories that nobody else wants to touch on a regular basis.
And I believe it's the news people need to know, not the stuff that they that's just repeated with the 4 a.m. talking points with some of the other news networks.
So thanks for asking the tough questions, even if you get a glazed deer-in-the-headlight look back from the former Speaker of the House when you do so.
Absolutely.
I'm fully committed, and I'll be sure to keep them coming.
So thanks so much, Patrick.
I appreciate it.
All right.
Thank you.
And be sure to ask Rep Green about his Green New Deal.
All right.
Oh, I will.
I will.
I promise you.
All right.
Have a blessed day.
All right, guys.
I promise we'd give a little bit more of a deep dive, if you will, into that government shutdown bill, because I think just simply the structure of the continuing resolution provides some interesting insights into current events that I want to be able to share with you.
And like I said, I used to be a chairperson of appropriations subcommittee in the Michigan Senate.
I had to vote on bills.
A lot of times leadership would design it so that you'd have to vote on a bill at 2 a.m. in the morning or else you wouldn't be able to go home.
And a lot of people, it was actually a tactic where they tried to get you to push the button here on things that you normally wouldn't push the button on just so you can get moving on.
And it didn't work on me.
I was actually one of those folks that actually read these bills as I was alluding to with Allison.
One of the reasons I got into running for the Michigan Senate was I had read the Affordable Care Act and how it's being billed in the name, Affordable Care Act is not truthful.
It wasn't affordable.
It was not caring, although it was an act.
And so I want to drill down into this continuing resolution and just kind of highlight a couple key features.
First of all, please note that it was on Sunday that the Senate passed this.
And for those who are not aware of the process in the U.S. Senate, which is different from most state Senate bodies, by the way, but in the U.S. Senate, good old Robert Byrd, Senator Robert Byrd, former grandmaster of the Ku Klux Klan,
he actually implemented what they call a cloture vote or is responsible for this cloture vote that said you need a super threshold of 60 votes in order to shut down all debate or else everybody can go off and filibuster.
You've heard of the Senate filibuster.
Well, this cloture vote is essentially a vote to determine whether or not you can filibuster or not is what it all boils down to.
And So it's a way of actually providing the minority party with some measure of control over what legislation is brought before the U.S. Senate.
And so they need a 60-vote threshold in that context to move forward on any legislation, including the continuous resolution that ended up being passed to fund the government.
And so in the end, the final analysis, the Democrats actually jumped over, seven of the Democrats, one Independent, which typically votes Democrat, jumped over to support the closure vote and then subsequently the passage of this continuing resolution for providing funding for the federal government.
That funding is now good through January 30th of next year.
So this isn't a permanent fix.
Matter of fact, I don't think, I think it's been decades since they've actually passed a real budget in the United States Congress.
But the Senate did end up not only passing the closure vote, but passing the actual legislation on Sunday.
And then it got handed over to the House.
House had a day or so to look over what was put into the Senate bill.
And then they ended up voting on it on November 12th.
And it passed by a vote of 222 to 209.
And we had six Democrats, as Allison was saying, jump over to support this.
Those were Democrats in swing districts.
And so they know that the Democrats lost this battle over the government shutdown.
And they wanted to be good because they're going to have tight reelection battles with them in the upcoming election.
So, and then, of course, as soon as it was passed inside the House with their concurrence vote, it got handed over to President Trump, who signed it into law sometime around 10 o'clock last night.
So I thought it would be useful to actually walk through what the actual contents of the bill are.
And first of all, I want to highlight that what the bill did from a big picture perspective is that it funds most of the government, as I said, through January 30th of 2026.
It funds the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
It has a bunch of construction or military construction projects in it.
It funds the special part of the bill or section of the bill dealing with the Department of Agriculture, which runs the SNAP program.
That's the assistance program that we found out that there's 40 million Americans receiving assistance on it.
And frankly, not all of them should be eligible for such assistance.
And then also, it funded Congress themselves.
And not only did it fund Congress, but there were some provisions in there that increased security for government officials.
And we'll go into that in just a little bit.
But here's the mechanics of how it was passed.
There's basically one main bill, a continuing resolution, but then they had three different, I guess for lack of a better term, three different carve-outs.
So the continuing resolution part is saying, hey, we're going to fund all the federal government at previous levels, except for these three different areas.
And there's those three different areas that I kind of want to highlight now before we get to the bottom of the hour and kind of drill down into why they were carved out separately.
So one of the carve-outs was for agriculture and the FDA appropriations.
And that's how they control the SNAP benefits program.
They want to make sure it wasn't going to illegal aliens, for example.
And then there is another carve out for veterans and military construction projects and almost a billion dollars going towards our military infrastructure.
So just so you know, there's several there's extensions of air bases, if you will, in the Caribbean right now that are being worked on with construction.
So a lot of these investments, I would assume, are going into those types of projects here where we're supplementing the naval buildup with the buildup of the Air Force in the Caribbean in light of everything that's going on in Venezuela.
So that I thought was pretty interesting.
And then also there's another section that was a separate carve out that dealt specifically with legislative security.
And so I want to put that in context.
And it's not just legislature, but it's capital security in general.
You know, with all these No Kings rallies with Antifa ramping up their rhetoric, with the Democrats ramping up their violence rhetoric, with the cartels, you know, feeling the pain of President Trump holding them accountable.
There is a lot of saber rattling, a lot of violence that's being promoted across the board where we've actually got senior administration officials such as Christy Noam, for example, and Pete Hexett that are now living on military bases because of concern for their family's safety.
That's in America, guys.
That should never happen.
But these guys who are trying to fundamentally transform America are now resorting to violence in order to make that transformation.
And so I think it's very telling some of these carve-outs.
And so just a quick refresh.
You've got the continuing resolution that takes care of most of the government operations at previous levels.
But they carved out three separate areas, one dealing with Department of Agriculture and SNAP benefits.
The next one dealing with the military and in particular putting a lot of money into some construction projects.
And then the last but not least is security, increased and enhanced security provisions around the legislature, which also had another curious provision that Allison alluded to.
And I want to kind of take a second to walk people through this special provision that was put in there because there was actually a provision put into the legislative annex, if you will, to this bill that gave a kind of a private right of action to U.S. senators that were targeted by Operation Arctic Frost.
And if you want to call up an example, what this bill actually looks like, I'm going to try to walk people.
No, actually, the core bill.
So item one, please.
Just call that up.
So here's What a bill looks like.
It's all numbered.
You got a page number associated with it, and then the actual text of the bill and appropriations as appropriate.
And they'll delineate the, everybody organizes different.
We organized our appropriations bills a little bit different than the U.S. Congress, but the basic premise is each one of these line items corresponds to an authorized appropriation.
This is the first page of that bill, but I want to dig into where we see the actual private right of action because, you know, you kind of expect as American citizen,
when you actually look at the bill and you realize that there were eight senators that got a special provision in the legislation that said that they can actually sue the federal government for up to $500,000 if they were targeted by this Operation Arctic Frost to get access to their data and tap in, tap their phones, all that kind of stuff.
You'd expect it to be very clear like that, but that's not how it's written in these bills.
And just to give you an example of how this is actually specified, if you can call up item two here, this is a section that actually led to this private right of action or cause of action.
So any senator whose Senate data, the Senate data of his office has been acquired, subpoena searched, et cetera, in violation of the section that talked about how do you get access to this data, because there is a process, there's a lawful process for how to get access to their data.
If they decide to shortcut that, like Operation Arctic Frost did, you're going to be subject to the provisions of this section.
And the key operative word here comes down to the term Senate data.
And so there's another section of the bill that specifically defines what Senate data is.
And if you could call up item three, please.
This is the definition of Senate data.
And it goes into essentially the data that was obtained from the cell phones for the senators.
So the point of me going through this is that this doesn't jump out for the average citizen that this is a provision that actually enables a private cause of action for U.S. senators that were targeted by Operation Arctic Frost.
Here's how it's actually captured in the bill text.
And so it's a little bit more convoluted than most people would think it would be.
And anyway, I just encourage people to start reading this legislation.
I mean, that's how I got interested in running for office was after reading Obamacare.
It was not a fun exercise, but I'll tell you, once you go through it once, you understand why our system of government faces challenges sometimes, in particular the federal government, because they're not limited to one-topic bills like we were in the state of Michigan.
And so you have these large number of bills.
I think it was over 300 pages overall that these legislators had to read and not just read, but comprehend.
They had to understand the analysis associated with it.
And so they rely on these analysts, policy analysts within their respective caucus, the Republican and Democrat caucus, to actually provide them with insights as to what's in the bill and what's not in the bill.
Well, left out of that analysis was actually, from what I understand, was actually the provision that allowed private cause of action for these senators.
And when it was found out, and particularly when it was found out that it wasn't in the analysis, that's when people got upset and they started contacting Speaker Mike Johnson before they'd vote on it.
And Speaker Mike Johnson, I understand, has assured them that we're going to make well on all this stuff here.
So ultimately, we want to make sure that everybody is treated equally under the law.
And if nothing else, this provision of this continuing resolution that allowed this writer cause of action for the senators targeted by Operation Arctic Frost hopefully is a first step in reconciliation for all those who were targeted by the federal government.
They were, the federal government was weaponized against American citizens in direct violation of their constitutional rights, most notably their Fourth Amendment rights.
And I think you're going to start seeing hearing more and more about this.
It was a good thing that they included the senators because, you know, we need justice for folks like Tina Peters and Mike Lindell and MyPillow in there, as well as these U.S. Senators.
And I think this is hopefully the first step of many towards that end.
So when we get back, we're going to dig into a little bit of discussion on what drove that provision of that bill.
We're going to go into Operation Arctic Frost, and then we're going to talk about what's going on with Mike's Legal Defense.
So tune in.
We'll be right back.

I'm just filling in for Mike today as he spends very enjoyable time talking to lawyers for the last few days.
And we're going to go over what the latest status is on all those discussions and where things sit regarding some of the lawsuits targeting Mike.
But before the break, we were talking about the fact that the government shutdown has ended.
They passed a continuing resolution appropriations bill that keeps the government open until January 30th.
And so there's a lot of, sorry, we've got my dog barking in the background here.
But so Operation Arctic Frost is active now.
And or sorry, the continuing, the government is active now.
And in that, it had a provision around the government, around the government operations, sorry, folks, that actually allowed for U.S. senators that were targeted by Operation Arctic Frost to actually sue the federal government for up to $500,000 apiece.
And it gave them a private cause of action.
And so that was a very interesting provision of the bill, especially considering that there were other people targeted by Operation Arctic Frost, including Mike Lindell and also quite a few of the alternate slates of electors all across America.
Matter of fact, most of the folks that are in that target list by Operation Arctic Frost are people that I know very well.
So I appreciate the fact that it's now been brought to the attention of U.S. senators and they're interested in this and are active in this and they're digging into it and we need that attention.
So I appreciate the fact that they're bringing attention to this.
But it was obvious that the targets of this investigation were they accessed their cell phone records, their communications, their tax, also their they targeted bank records as well, and which was very for Mike in particular.
They really wanted to make an example out of Mike.
And a lot of these banks got pressured to go off and effectively debank Mike in many cases here and go off and hit his suppliers and tell them that they can no longer extend lines of credit to Mike.
And if you're, you know, your business operations are going steady state for cash flow purposes and you keep that line of credit, you need that cash flow to help procure materials for you to actually feed future sales.
For that to turn overnight and get that line of credit shut down, you effectively shut down the supply materials that allows Mike and Mike Pillow to make money.
So it's kind of a big deal.
And Mike has testified before that these, they even went after his suppliers overseas for the Giza sheets.
He goes to Egypt.
That's where he gets the materials for that.
And they actually targeted his supplier there and threatened them.
And that effectively was designed to shut down Mike's business operations, which when you shut down Mike's business operations, you shut down his money.
You shut down his ability to get out the truth.
And ultimately, this all boiled down to a big information war.
That's why they're tapping into cell phones.
They want information.
That's why they tapped in.
That's why they wanted to shut down Mike because he was getting information out via his documentaries, via Lindell TV and Frank Speech at the time, and via all the symposiums that he put on and the summits that he put on, getting the word out about the elections.
They didn't want that to happen.
So back in 2022, I think it was April 2022, they kicked off this Operation Arctic Frost hit in an attempt to intimidate people and cut off their livelihood so they no longer had the resources necessary to compete with the official government narrative on the topic of the 2020 election.
And that's what this is all about.
So a lot of people want to move on from 2020 and say, forget about it.
It's in the past.
We need to focus in on what's going on in 2026.
I'm all in on the fact that we need to secure future elections, but you need to address what happened in 2020.
You need to have accountability because we have lots of laws already on the books.
If we would have followed all the laws that were on the books, we never would have had the fraud that happened in 2020.
I'm convinced of that.
But we're not enforcing the laws.
And now we're getting to the point where we have to start enforcing them and start holding people accountable.
And that provision of that continuing resolution that the Senate put in there might be the first inkling of that accountability phase because anytime that if they actually are successful in those private causes of action, that brings to light the fact that the 2020 election was not on the up and up and because it was targeting the people that were investigating that the election.
So and just a reminder, you know, Senator Grassley has put out a lot of information around Operation Arctic Frost.
A lot of this information is coming from whistleblowers.
They trust Senator Grassley.
They've gotten that information to him.
And just a reminder, Mike Lindell is explicitly called out in that subpoena list.
And you call up item five.
He's got his name very prominent in there.
And the key thing is that he's a Trump supporter.
All these folks that were listed and subpoenas were Trump supporters.
They actually weaponized government against the opposing party, against the opposing president, and with the intent of undermining the effectiveness of his presidency and undermining his ability to actually run for office again.
That's what they're trying to do and what they're trying to prevent.
And Mike obviously was very high profile in support of President Trump, and they targeted him as a result.
So I also want to highlight, though, that President Trump is not oblivious to all this.
And just to highlight one of probably his most prominent executive actions that he's taken in the wake of the Arctic Frost revelations is that he issued a blanket pardon for all the electors that were targeted by state governments as well as federal authorities under Operation Arctic Frost in the wake of the 2020 election.
And I think it's here's the actual actionable part of that executive order and that pardon for all these individuals, which include all these individuals that were alternate slates of electors, people that I know from all across the country.
And it says that it's really helping out all these citizens and providing a full and complete pardon to them if they were engaged in relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participating in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of presidential electors, which he's not saying just Republican electors.
Saying if anybody was targeted, if you're Democrat, Independent, even Communist Party USA folks, he wanted to make sure that you were protected and not interfered with.
I mean, what they're really doing here with Operation Arctic Frost is treason.
They were interfering with the outcome of the upcoming elections by, I can tell you the people that were named in this parliament, but also named in a lot of these lawsuits from as targets of malicious prosecution suffered quite a bit as a result of this.
Not only did they financially suffer because they had to support significant legal bills that that financial drain on them and their family is something we don't know if they're ever going to get compensated for.
And a lot of it, frankly, even if they were granted the $500,000 that was talked about in that Senate bill, that wouldn't cover the damages.
Mike, for example, Mike Lindell.
I mean, the damages to my pillow and Mike Lindell are well over $100 million because of these actions.
They shut down his company.
They tried to smear his reputation, but Mike, like the energizer bunny is, just keeps on plugging, keeps on moving.
And they try to knock him down.
He keeps getting back up.
And I'll tell you, his faith is stronger now than it's ever been.
And he knows what's true.
And he knows that this is what God wants him to go off and do.
And he's doing it.
And he's going to keep on doing it.
And which kind of brings us into something that we're going to be talking about to wrap the show up and bring it in for a landing.
And it ties in with some recent news around Dominion.
And I'm just going to remind everybody that back in October, we were all surprised.
I think many of us were surprised, including myself, to learn that Dominion was actually bought by a company called No Inc and a gentleman by the name of Scott Leinedecker.
And so if you can call up that press release here, it was, here's the way it's presented in the media, in the media.
And they said that it's a former GOP election official, and Scott was an election official in Missouri, buys Dominion.
So it's really saying because it was a Republican that bought this company, they're trying to make it seem like that's the reason we can't trust these systems anymore from this manufacturer here.
And it's trying to create this narrative that now that it's owned by somebody with an R next to their name, that you can't trust the system.
Meanwhile, we're being told to believe that all these electronic voting systems can't be tampered with, right?
But now what we're seeing is a deliberate narrative on the part of Democrats to sit there, which they executed this narrative relentlessly prior to November 3rd, 2020.
After November 3rd, 2020, you didn't hear a peep on this line, but now they're going off and revamping the idea that these electronic voting systems are vulnerable.
And in particular, because it's a former GOP election official that bought one of the second largest company for electronic voting systems in the country, Dominion Voting Systems.
And he rebranded it Liberty Votes.
And this has got all the Democrats up in a tizzy.
And here's just a quick example of how Democrats reacted to the purchase of Dominion by a former GOP election official.
We do know that one of his friends has purchased Dominion.
So it's going to be really important for us to educate all states that we can to make sure that their Secretary of States are like, we don't want the Dominion machines because I personally believe that that ally purchased Dominion so that he could potentially play with the machines because we know that they're trying to cheat by changing the lines for the midterms.
And I think that they're trying to solidify their cheat potentially with the voting machines.
So that's good old Jasmine Crockett.
And I think she gets an honorary award here because I think this is the first time she's actually done something that I or many of the folks with Lindell TV could actually agree with.
She's calling for the elimination of these machines because she can't trust them.
Well, it doesn't matter who the manufacturer is.
We can't trust these voting machines.
But at least, you know, Jasmine Crockett is actually moving up the step of recognition of the fact that these machines can be altered.
And she unwittingly, by making this criticism of this purchase of Dominion voting systems, saying that you can actually go in and change the source code.
You can change the result.
You can manipulate the election with this machine.
She's echoing everything that Mike and myself and many others have been saying for the longest time.
And Democrats have been ripping on us saying, no, it was the most secure election in American history back in 2020.
So in her own special way, Representative Crockett has actually affirmed a key point of Mike Lindell and others, I call them meddling kids, that have been saying, we need to get rid of these voting machines because of a lack of trust.
They're not transparent.
You can't peek under the hood of these.
You can't peek behind the curtain to see how they're operated.
You can't look at the source code.
You can't do any of that.
And if you do attempt to do it, what do they do?
They target you for prosecution like they did to our friend Tina Peters, who's still sitting in prison over a year for doing her job as a clerk for Mesa County, Colorado, preserve the integrity of election records.
So no, these machines cannot be trusted.
And finally, we've got Representative Jasmine Crockett, the new queen of the Democratic Party, if you will.
She's joined us in that cause, apparently.
So that's a big deal.
And by the way, it's noteworthy to point out that the person on the left side of the screen during that little video snippet was Mark Elias.
Yep, Mark Elias is the king of law affair for the Democratic Party.
And many of the lawsuits against election integrity advocates, all the people investigating the machines that Jasmine Crockett has just woken up to and realized that these aren't a good thing.
You can't be trusted.
Well, it's good old Mark Elias that was the one that was targeting a lot of the people that were making that claim around the 2020 election.
So hypocrisy is rampant in the Democratic Party.
It's kind of tough to swallow sometimes.
So against this backdrop of this supposed GOP election official, this guy who just wants to do the right thing and return us to fair elections and make sure that we restore some measure of election integrity into the conduct of our elections.
There's a lot of buzz going around that said that, you know what?
This guy's actually going to be good for election integrity and he's going to be good for Republicans in particular in maintaining election integrity.
A lot of people thought that this purchase was analogous to Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and said that, well, Once we got this good conservative to go off and buy this company, he's going to open it up and let everybody know what's going on.
And he's going to drop all the lawsuits against all the people that were concerned about the integrity of the system.
And matter of fact, some of the statements made by Scott Line Decker, in particular those made to Daily Caller, which is an organization that Tucker Carlson helped found.
He was alluding to the fact that he was going to be dropping all the lawsuits.
And there was a lot of press releases early on, a lot of press stories talking about that prior to the sale of Dominion to Scott Leinedecker, who's rebranded it now as Liberty Vote, thinking that, oh, if it's got the word Liberty in it, we're all going to get overjoyed and think it's a really good thing because it's got the word Liberty in it.
All right, so everybody was thinking that this is going to be a good thing, and they were dropping the lawsuits prior to the purchase.
But there were two lawsuits that were not dropped, as it turns out.
One was their Dominion's defamation suit against Patrick Byrne, and the other, and you guessed it, was the defamation suit against Mike Lindell.
And so I wanted to make sure we had an opportunity to get out Mike's press release on this.
And if you could just call that up, we're going to walk through it.
Mike is concerned that this guy is going around telling Republicans all across the country that he's dropped all these lawsuits against Republicans like Mike Lindell.
And that hasn't happened.
And Mike is making the point when he's going through this press release that there was a condition apparently tied to any dropping any of these lawsuits is that Mike would have to stop talking about the vulnerabilities of these electronic voting systems.
In other words, they wanted him to no longer be allied with our newfound ally, Representative Jasmine Crockett from Texas.
So they want Mike silent still.
They don't want him talking about what we're finding in these machines.
And that is a kind of a trend here, right?
So I often say that we're in the middle of an information war.
And this is a prime example of information that they do not want coming out to people.
If you recall previous shows, we talked about an organization called the Election Integrity Partnership.
This Election Integrity Partnership was a consortium of federal government employees, big tech, big media, and what they call civil society, which is essentially all these universities that are teaching young minds how to hate America.
So this consortium was actively creating a censorship complex.
They wanted to be the Ministry of Truth and shut down the voices of people like Mike Lindell when he talked about elections.
So there's a big information war that is going on.
And I'm telling you right now that Mike, in particular, has been more than targeted by this.
That's why Mike formed Lindell TV.
He wanted to make sure that we had a mechanism to get around the chokehold that the mainstream media had on what could be talked about and what could not be talked about.
And it was very clear that even some of the alternate news sources that call themselves conservative were unwilling to talk about the threat to integrity of our elections posed by these electronic voting systems.
Mike's not afraid of that.
And as a result, he's been targeted by quite a bit of lawfare.
And just to remind everybody what he's dealing with currently right now, there's a Dominion has a lawsuit against Mike for defamation.
SmartMatic has a lawsuit against Mike for defamation.
And Eric Coomer had a lawsuit against Mike for defamation as well.
And what Mike's doing is talking about how vulnerable these machines are.
And so I just call up the in recently, right before all the big announcements came out around Venezuelan whistleblowers in support of Tina Peters highlighting that they had inside knowledge of how elections were stolen in countries like Venezuela and how the same people that were stealing elections in Venezuela are now working on elections in America.
To get ahead of that, the judge apparently decided to go off and issue a ruling and a court order against Mike, effectively declaring him guilty of defamation without any sort of court trial whatsoever.
That's not the way we're supposed to be doing things in the United States.
And so Mike obviously is going to be is ramping up and opposing that.
And if you want to support Mike's efforts to oppose that ruling from Judge Jeffrey Bryan, you can do so at mypillowtrial.com.
Please go out to mypillowtrial.com.
You'll get the latest and greatest information on there.
But you can also donate to support Mike's cause.
He's got a good legal team working with him now to go off and address it.
If you want to read the actual ruling issued by Judge Bryan, you can do so from this webpage.
And guys, it's just really a recognition of the scale of information war.
We're not out of this information war yet.
I mean, President Trump's fighting it every single day and he's doing it in glorious style.
He does it through his social media.
He gets the word out.
Matter of fact, that's for many people, that's the best source of news out there is social media.
It used to be derided as an unreliable source of information.
And you still, of course, have to be guarded on your various news sources.
But the bottom line is that the social media pathways are telling you information that you will not find on most of the news networks.
That's why I appreciate the fact that you're tuned in here to Lindell TV because we're going to talk about the stuff that the other news networks are not going to talk about.
We're going to make sure that you have that information.
And there's a great team of broadcasters here at Lindell TV.
Obviously, during Mike's show, we feature Kara Castranova and Allison Steinberg with the DC team that we have.
But I'll tell you, there's a huge lineup of people that I encourage you to check out.
If you haven't done so already, there's a great lineup of folks.
We've got Vanessa Broussard with Spin Room.
I'm going to be hosting one of her shows next week.
But you also got Emerald Robinson, who's been digging in on a lot of difficult topics.
Guys, this is information that you're not going to get from anybody else.
And Christy Lee and so many others that are in the Lindell TV lineup, tune in, share with your friends and family, get it out there, because ultimately, this is what you can do to help fight back against those folks who want to censor us and shut down communications.
The more you expand Lindell TV's voice, the more we can get the word out on what's really happening.
I mean, not all of it's going to be as fun as walking through the details of a congressional appropriations bill and seeing how they actually masquerade key provisions in there and what those provisions actually mean.
Not all of it's as exciting as that.
But I'll tell you, we're going to do our best to make sure that you get access to the information you need to know.
A couple other websites that I encourage you to check into as a website that I curate for Mike is electioncrimebure.com.
And in particular, if you go to the evidence tab on that website, I think that's going to be constantly growing and getting information out there for folks because a lot of people say there is no evidence election fraud.
There is no evidence that these machines are vulnerable.
There's no evidence that these machine vulnerabilities have been exploited.
And I can tell you for a fact that that is not true.
And all the facts, all the receipts, all the information in support of my assertions to that point, you can find it up at electioncrimebure.com.
All right, folks, while we're wrapping up another show of another edition of the Mike Lindell show, I appreciate you guys tuned in today.
And once again, remember, don't forget, watch all the other shows that are on Lindell TV.
Guys, we're going to give you information that nobody else will get you.
