Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxis.

Folks, welcome back.

I just happen to be here with Mike Lindell in his My Pillow Factory office. Mike, I've never been here. I mean, I practically have never been to Minnesota, as you and Michelle Bachman pronounce it, because I'm an Easterner. But I'm here in the belly of the beast. This is where the pillows are made. This is where it all happens. I got to tell you,

I feel like I've visited, you know, in the old days, this would be like visiting the LL Bean store when you're driving up to Maine. We got to make a pilgrimage to the LL Bean store. We got to go to Ben and Jerry's, you know, to see how the communist LSD people are doing. The psych, no, but it's kind of funny., you just sort of feel like it's a pill, something more than what it is.

It represents something.

So here I am.

So what happens in this building?

Well, this period, you have the call center.

You know, I have, now I think I have right around 2,500 employees, and I have call centers, the call center, the factory, two factories, two buildings there. And we've got, we do everything here. We do everything. People, do you make the slippers with the, with the soybeans grown on U.S. soil. Yeah, the, the, uh, the slippers, they're put together anything.

I want everyone, let's, let's talk about that. The products I have, the milk, my pill,

100% made here, cotton, everything, uh, my pill, my topers, my beds all made here, okay, 100% and with

the materials. Things like my towels, you cannot, the technology we don't have here that I use, because remember, I make them to work.

We use southern U.S. cotton, but we have to ship, because I have to spend the money, ship the cotton over and ship it back,

because we don't have the technology, the proprietary technology, so that they work, okay?

Same way with the slippers.

Well, you say that they work.

See, people don't think of towels is working. But the fact, I know, you explain this to me. You gave me like the, the history of towel technology. So let's take a, let's take a product. If you reverse engineer a product, I was upset. You use a towel. You feel them in this store. They're soft and lotion.

You get them home and they don't absorb.

We've all been there. It's horrible. You're going, what is going on? The water runs off them worse than those napkins they have in the Z. Right, right, right. These aren't napkins. These are what are they? You know, so I sat and found out why. Well, in 2006, it was called GATT.

They made a deal with other countries overseas. So I sat and found out why. Well, in 2006, it was called GATT.

They made a deal with other countries overseas that they imported all these towels.

But all they did was make them to sell, not work.
