00:01:30.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:31.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:40.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:49.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:53.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:02:01.000 Joining us now is Ed Dowd, author of Cause Unknown.
00:02:05.000 Ed, thank you for taking the time.
00:02:07.000 Ed, I wish we would have you on under better circumstances.
00:02:09.000 Every time I have you on, we're talking about death and how the government is lying about death.
00:02:15.000 And so unfortunately, this story is right on that theme.
00:02:19.000 Usually we're here to talk about vaccine side effects and the mRNA shot that's called a vaccine, but you live in Maui, and we've dedicated a fair amount of time to this story and the strange cover-up and the lack of transparency.
00:02:34.000 So Ed, you are on the ground.
00:02:36.000 What is the truth of what happened in Maui at the fire and how many people died?
00:02:43.000 So it's definitely a story of complete local government incompetence and I believe a cover-up that ensued quickly thereafter.
00:02:55.000 There's a lot of angst about the number of dead and there's a slow roll of figuring out how many have died.
00:03:02.000 And initially, I'm on record putting out a tweet within the first week saying that I was hearing from first responders, 500 to 1,000 likely dead with a lot of them being children.
00:03:14.000 There's an official FBI list of 388 right now.
00:03:20.000 The governor of Hawaii is on record saying on Face of the Nation about two weeks ago, over a thousand missing, many of which are children.
00:03:29.000 So the numbers keep kind of bouncing around.
00:03:32.000 I think when it's all said and done, 500 to 1,000, if it comes in under 500, like 400, that'd be great.
00:03:38.000 But, you know, between 500 and 1,000 is likely where it's going to end up.
00:03:42.000 And a lot of them, unfortunately, are going to be children.
00:03:44.000 The number is unknown.
00:03:45.000 They really don't want to talk about that issue.
00:03:47.000 The mayor of Maui really didn't even want to put a number on the number of children that were missing.
00:03:53.000 And that's when the governor kind of threw them under the bus.
00:03:56.000 And, you know, that was on a Friday.
00:03:58.000 And on a Sunday, the governor kind of put out the numbers of missing and did say a lot of them would be children.
00:04:05.000 Because what's going on here in Maui, it's the simplest explanation.
00:04:09.000 A lot of people are putting on their tinfoil hats, talking about directed energy weapons and whatnot.
00:04:14.000 There's no evidence of that.
00:04:16.000 It was a classic case of anything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
00:04:20.000 The hydrants didn't work.
00:04:22.000 Water from the Department of Land and Natural Resources wasn't released in time.
00:04:27.000 Power lines down that were likely charged.
00:04:30.000 The Hawaiian Electric is not claiming they weren't, but I talked to people that saw lines go down that looked alive to them while they were trying to escape Lahaina.
00:04:40.000 There was a warning system that wasn't, we have a tsunami warning system that also is used for fires, terrorist attacks, what have you.
00:04:50.000 The official there decided not to sound the alarm because he was worried people would seek higher ground and potentially run into, quote unquote, a fire.
00:05:00.000 So, and then he did say that he stood by his decision, did not regret it.
00:05:06.000 Then he resigned the next day due to health reasons.
00:05:10.000 We also have a story of police officers who have got orders to block certain exits and their people may have been trapped.
00:05:19.000 I don't think the police did anything intentionally.
00:05:21.000 They were just taking orders.
00:05:22.000 There was chatter of down power lines ahead.
00:05:25.000 So it was a morass of epic failure.
00:05:28.000 And then after the fire, they set up a roadblock so it was hard to get goods into those who needed them.
00:05:37.000 So there was just a host of things that went wrong.
00:05:40.000 And it looks like a cover-up to me.
00:05:42.000 But again, we'll find out more as time unrolls.
00:05:46.000 So, Ed, what is bizarre is that it's been quite a while since the fire and we still do not have an accurate death count.
00:05:54.000 Why do you think that is?
00:05:55.000 I mean, this is unacceptable and the federal government doesn't seem to care.
00:06:00.000 The media has completely moved on.
00:06:02.000 What you are saying is conservative, conservatively, it could be between 200 to 300 people dead, upwards to 500 to 700 to 800.
00:06:10.000 We don't know.
00:06:11.000 I mean, in 2023, how is this something that we're tolerating?
00:06:16.000 What are the locals saying about this, Ed?
00:06:18.000 How many of our fellow citizens and our fellow Americans died in a fire?
00:06:24.000 Is there a revolt happening on the island or at least widespread demand for answers?
00:06:30.000 Lots of demand for answers, lots of angry local folks who don't trust the government now.
00:06:37.000 They didn't really trust the government all that much before, but there is a separatist movement on Maui that for years has been trying to get local Hawaiians to break off from the USA.
00:06:47.000 I suspect their ranks will grow with this event.
00:06:51.000 There's a lot of, look, it's 2023.
00:06:55.000 We have technology.
00:06:57.000 And, you know, there are phones that were, a lot of people had phones.
00:07:01.000 And we could just go into the, you know, what phones are activated and not activated to figure out at least a rough number of those who are missing.
00:07:10.000 They don't seem to want to put a number on it.
00:07:12.000 And I suspect what they want to do is slow roll this number over time, you know, well beyond the headlines.
00:07:20.000 And it's just unacceptable.
00:07:22.000 The mayor of Maui was asked on Friday, a couple of weeks ago, how many children are missing?
00:07:27.000 He wouldn't even put a number on it.
00:07:30.000 And again, people were screaming, reporters were saying that's unacceptable.
00:07:34.000 You at least need to take a stab at it.
00:07:36.000 So this is kind of just beyond the pale that in this day and age, they can't even put a number on it.
00:07:42.000 Apparently, there's going to be another list updated this Friday beyond the official FBI vetted list, but we'll see what the number is.
00:07:53.000 And it's going to be one of these things that we'll be watching here on Maui for months to come.
00:07:58.000 There's already, you know, look, a lot of people suspected this disaster was an attempt to grab land.
00:08:05.000 I don't think that's the case.
00:08:06.000 But after the event, there will be an attempt to grab the land.
00:08:10.000 It's called disaster capitalism.
00:08:11.000 It happens all the time.
00:08:13.000 And there's now issues of water rights.
00:08:16.000 You know, there's all sorts of things going on post-the event that are suspicious.
00:08:22.000 On the ground, are people blaming climate change?
00:08:25.000 Because the media is.
00:08:27.000 No, not at all.
00:08:29.000 And the other thing that was interesting, you know, I live on Maui, and when the fires went down, everybody who knows me from the mainland thought I was dead.
00:08:41.000 And I asked, why did you guys think that?
00:08:43.000 Well, apparently I didn't realize this because I don't watch mainstream media.
00:08:46.000 It was depicted that the whole island was on fire.
00:08:50.000 And then the governor comes out and says, tourists, leave, don't come.
00:08:53.000 So now our local economy has collapsed.
00:08:55.000 It's happened fast.
00:08:57.000 It's like COVID all over again here.
00:09:00.000 Restaurants are laying off people, tourist activity businesses are laying off people.
00:09:05.000 Hotels are laying off people.
00:09:07.000 So what happened to the tragedy in Lahaina has now spread to the rest of the island.
00:09:11.000 The economy is shut down.
00:09:12.000 It's a disaster.
00:09:14.000 And I'm here to say, Maui's open for business.
00:09:16.000 Please come.
00:09:17.000 80% of the island is fine.
00:09:19.000 Yeah, it's very concentrated in one particular area.
00:09:23.000 And so there's been a media ignoring of this story.
00:09:29.000 And Ed, you know, this kind of ties in with your cause unknown, the crime of noticing.
00:09:35.000 I mean, it's been really sad to see that you might have one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in history.
00:09:44.000 But then I stopped myself.
00:09:45.000 Is it a natural disaster?
00:09:46.000 This is one of the most catastrophic human errors in American history.
00:09:50.000 Is that a better way to describe it?
00:09:53.000 Absolutely.
00:09:54.000 You know, Hawaiian Electric for years has been investing in green energy.
00:09:59.000 They've known for a long time that they needed to trim back the trees.
00:10:02.000 They knew there was a lot of fuel all over the island in terms of abandoned agricultural land.
00:10:09.000 And they did.
00:10:10.000 They spent money on green energy and didn't keep up their transmission lines, pruning back trees, what have you.
00:10:16.000 So it's classic.
00:10:18.000 And it's not only Hawaiian Electric.
00:10:20.000 That stock is down 65% since this happened because of the coming lawsuits.
00:10:25.000 It's also local government officials.
00:10:28.000 Anything that could have gone wrong went wrong.
00:10:29.000 There was no water.
00:10:30.000 The hydrants didn't work.
00:10:32.000 There was not one fire truck hooked up spraying anything when this went down.
00:10:37.000 Ed Dowd, author of Cause Unknown, very, very important.
00:10:41.000 Just kind of connect the dots.
00:10:43.000 Your work these last couple of years on the MRNA shot have led you to obviously distrust our institutions.
00:10:50.000 And now you live in a place where the institutions can't even do the basic things.
00:10:55.000 Is there symmetry to that?
00:10:57.000 Absolutely.
00:10:58.000 We got basically a breakdown systemically across the nation in our governments, local and federal, where there doesn't seem to be any integrity or ability to admit you're wrong.
00:11:12.000 And so everybody does CYA and they can't even do basic functions of government.
00:11:17.000 A lot of nepotism.
00:11:19.000 One of the problems here was the fire chief is the son of the former fire chief.
00:11:26.000 So there's a lot of that that goes on in government nepotism.
00:11:29.000 We are allegedly the wealthiest, most progressive America has ever been.
00:11:33.000 But think about the basic things we no longer can do.
00:11:36.000 We can't manage our border.
00:11:38.000 We cannot have a transportation grid during the holiday season, Christmas or July 4th.
00:11:44.000 That doesn't result in widespread delays.
00:11:46.000 We can't put out fires on islands.
00:11:49.000 They're very basic things that used to be things that we would just take for granted.
00:11:53.000 The country is literally falling apart.
00:11:58.000 Listen, as students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in history?
00:12:05.000 Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God-given and not granted by government?
00:12:09.000 Will they be given a full and honest account of our nation's history?
00:12:12.000 The answer to all these questions is yes for students at Hillsdale College.
00:12:16.000 And these days, in addition to teaching college students, Hillsdale has extended its teaching to K-12 students and lifelong learners like you and me.
00:12:24.000 If you're not doing so already, one of the best ways to start learning from my friends at Hillsdale is through In Primus, Hillsdale's free digest of liberty.
00:12:33.000 My listeners can sign up for free at this special website, which is available for a limited time.
00:12:38.000 It's at charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:12:40.000 I look forward to In Primus each month, and you can too.
00:12:43.000 It's interesting, useful, and free.
00:12:46.000 The best and smartest in conservative constitutionalist thought.
00:12:49.000 Find out more about Hillsdale and In Primus at charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:12:54.000 They're an excellent college, America's greatest college, charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:13:02.000 So, Ed, I want to just have you riff on this point.
00:13:05.000 As a country that is allegedly so technologically advanced and, you know, the end of history, and we're marching towards this beautiful utopia, maybe we should just kind of wake up and like, well, the basic stuff we can't do, the very basic stuff, fight fires, keep our people safe, be able to communicate clearly.
00:13:22.000 Ed, build this out for us.
00:13:24.000 Yeah, so, you know, what's the purpose of government originally?
00:13:28.000 To provide some safety in terms of the military, local police departments, fire departments, you know, utilities, what have you, you know, roads, transportation.
00:13:42.000 And that seems to be all breaking down.
00:13:45.000 And we're paying a tremendous amount of our taxes every year that seems to be going into a system that floats out to other countries and then comes back in the form of grift to our politicians and consultants that live in the beltway.
00:13:58.000 And so, you know, over time, the federal government has grown to become this behemoth and it's swallowing the country.
00:14:05.000 You know, about 80 years ago, it was 15% of GDP.
00:14:09.000 During COVID, it got up to 43%.
00:14:12.000 And a lot of the spending in the economy right now is government spending.
00:14:16.000 The private sector is in free fall.
00:14:18.000 And that is why the economy appears to be okay from a numbers point of view, but the real economy is imploding.
00:14:27.000 So we have a government out of control that can't seem to even function.
00:14:30.000 And we have to start to ask ourselves, why are we still supporting a system that can't do basic things?
00:14:37.000 Yeah, the most basic things.
00:14:39.000 Ed, it seems as if they're trying to lock down the country again.
00:14:42.000 They're developing a new vaccine.
00:14:45.000 I mean, for those of us that have kind of just been, I don't know, committing the crime of noticing pattern recognition the last couple of years, this is maddening.
00:14:54.000 And yet, I tweeted this out over the weekend.
00:14:56.000 You know, I went to a local grocery store.
00:14:58.000 I'd say 10% of the people out of nowhere are wearing masks.
00:15:02.000 There is a portion of the population that will do whatever they are told, regardless of what is happening around them.
00:15:09.000 Ed, are we going to see another round of lockdowns?
00:15:12.000 I think they'll try.
00:15:13.000 I think the pushback will be tremendous.
00:15:15.000 And look, what I'm going to tell you is speculation on my part.
00:15:19.000 You know, my team at Finance Technologies has been tracking a recession that we think is going to be hitting this quarter, next quarter, and first quarter.
00:15:26.000 And I think if you want to point a finger at why we're going into recession rather than the Biden administration or the central banks, wouldn't it be nice to have a virus, quote unquote, floating around that you need to shut down the economy and point to that as the reason to save people's lives?
00:15:42.000 I think it's smoke and mirrors.
00:15:44.000 The federal government has already started purchasing testing equipment and what have you.
00:15:49.000 So it seems planned to me.
00:15:50.000 It seems like kabuki theater.
00:15:52.000 And anybody who falls for it, you know, shame on you.
00:15:55.000 And of course, the vaccine issued is, in my opinion, fraud.
00:15:59.000 And they are continuing to act as if it's great.
00:16:02.000 And that's what criminals do.
00:16:04.000 And eventually it's going to come out.
00:16:06.000 The harm that's been done by these things is tremendous.
00:16:09.000 The numbers are getting worse, by the way, Charlie, not better.
00:16:12.000 Disabilities are skyrocketing. 0.99
00:16:14.000 There seems to be medium-term effects.
00:16:16.000 So we have a crisis.
00:16:18.000 We have a long-term economic problem because this is going to cause labor shortages, diversion of resources to taking care of the vaccine injured.
00:16:26.000 So long term, we need to have a come to Jesus moment and investigations as to what happened here.
00:16:33.000 Are you suggesting, Ed, that the companies that get rich selling us pain medications and look at people as annuities in a very Machiavellian way wanted people to get damaged from the very thing they sold us to?
00:16:45.000 Absolutely.
00:16:46.000 The way that this is presenting, these disabilities are presenting in a host of different body systems.
00:16:54.000 So it's not directly tied to the vaccine or so it seems.
00:16:57.000 And they're going to be able to sell a ton of drugs for each of these symptoms rather than the root cause, which is detoxing and spiked protein.
00:17:04.000 And, you know, when this was all going down originally, they were literally trying to sell us back our freedoms via a vaccine, passport, and quarterly jabs.
00:17:14.000 Luckily, that did not happen in this country.
00:17:16.000 The boosters stopped working, obviously never worked.
00:17:20.000 And of course, the safety profile surrendered.
00:17:22.000 So when I look at what they were doing, it was rent extraction to sell you back your freedoms.
00:17:27.000 And people said, well, the government's paying for the vaccine.
00:17:29.000 Well, we all know how that would end.
00:17:31.000 Eventually, you would be paying for your quarterly jab ad infinitum.
00:17:37.000 But as they say, it's 100% safe and effective.
00:17:40.000 Don't ask questions, everybody.
00:17:42.000 Ed Dowd, author of Cause Unknown.
00:17:44.000 Thank you so much.
00:17:45.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:17:49.000 Balance of Nature, changing the world one life at a time.
00:17:52.000 I try to take care of myself.
00:17:54.000 I try to eat right.
00:17:55.000 And I love fruits and vegetables.
00:17:57.000 I'd rather have them than anything else, but I know I don't get nearly enough.
00:18:01.000 So I thought, I'll try it for two months and no harm, no foul.
00:18:04.000 If it doesn't work after that, then I've tried it and at least I know.
00:18:08.000 Within two weeks, I noticed a huge difference in my energy, sleeping better at night, and just energy.
00:18:14.000 I would get up in the morning and get up, not just sit around.
00:18:19.000 You guys have got to try this.
00:18:20.000 You have to try it.
00:18:21.000 You owe it to yourself to try it.
00:18:23.000 The wife and I both think it's done a lot of good.
00:18:25.000 We both think it's, you know, it's improved your overall day-to-day how you feel.
00:18:30.000 And we've turned everybody onto it.
00:18:33.000 Our kids are on it.
00:18:34.000 We've got brothers and sisters that are on it.
00:18:36.000 We've got some neighbors we've turned on to it.
00:18:39.000 So we're very pleased with the product and the results.
00:18:42.000 It's not like you're Superman, but you definitely know you're healthy.
00:18:46.000 You're going to lose weight.
00:18:47.000 And I've never heard that said in any of the commercials, but by golly, you do.
00:18:51.000 I work in a school.
00:18:52.000 So I'm around like a thousand kids a day constantly.
00:18:55.000 And so I wash my hands and use alcohol on them probably 100 times a day or better.
00:19:01.000 And my hands are always cracking open and splitting.
00:19:04.000 And I did not have that this entire winter.
00:19:07.000 And I've bet you anything.
00:19:08.000 This is me.
00:19:09.000 I bet you anything it's balanced nature because it's the only thing I've done different.
00:19:12.000 Like the guy on your commercial says, I'm going to keep on taking it the rest of my life.
00:19:17.000 And I feel the same way.
00:19:18.000 It's going really good.
00:19:19.000 I mean, I feel better.
00:19:21.000 Got more energy and, you know, I can go through my day better.

00:19:51.000 Joining us now is one of our favorite guests, CEO of a very, very important company, Public Square.
00:19:57.000 Everyone, take out your phone and download the Public Square app.
00:20:00.000 Michael, welcome back to the program.
00:20:02.000 How are things going on the battleship for the patriot economy?
00:20:06.000 Charlie, thank you so much for having me.
00:20:08.000 Good to be here.
00:20:09.000 We are thriving and growing while the broken, corrupted institutions that currently dominate the economic environment are crumbling.
00:20:18.000 So while Target stock has dropped, downgraded twice, missed their first quarterly earnings in six years, Anheuser-Busch tanked 26% on the year in sales.
00:20:28.000 The freedom economy, this patriotic parallel economy that is made up of incredible, hardworking Americans that love the country, the Constitution, and the values that that sacred document protects is thriving.
00:20:39.000 It's growing.
00:20:40.000 And we're really grateful to be the tip of the spear, especially, Charlie, because people right now more than ever need a reminder that you don't just have to wait to vote every two and four years.
00:20:50.000 And you should do that.
00:20:51.000 You should get to the ballot box.
00:20:52.000 You should vote.
00:20:53.000 But you should also recognize that every single day you have the ability to vote with your dollars.
00:20:57.000 What you spend your money on is what you empower.
00:20:59.000 And so we're helping patriots empower the types of companies that need to thrive, not just this year, but for the years to come for the sake of not only our generation, but the future generation.
00:21:09.000 So it's a bright time to be a patriot in the parallel economy, Charlie.
00:21:13.000 If you are a business owner of any type, you register your business to the directory.
00:21:17.000 It's publicsq.com.
00:21:19.000 Make the switch to values aligned businesses.
00:21:22.000 So there's several stories I want to touch here.
00:21:23.000 Let's play cut 127 of the Caitlin Collins lookalike winning an award.
00:21:28.000 Play cut 127.
00:21:30.000 Oh my God.
00:21:32.000 Hi.
00:21:34.000 I look around this room and I just see so many amazing allies that have platforms.
00:21:39.000 And I think allyship right now needs to look differently and you need to support trans people publicly and proudly.
00:21:52.000 Because if we can influence people to buy $22 Airborne smoothies, we can also do this.
00:21:58.000 I just, I love you so much.
00:22:00.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:22:01.000 I'm going to go have a beer and I love ya.
00:22:06.000 So that is the face of corporate America, a biological man who thinks he is not just a woman, but a young woman.
00:22:14.000 He thinks he's eight or nine years old, played the role of Eloise many times.
00:22:21.000 Michael, this is corporate America.
00:22:24.000 You guys are fighting against this.
00:22:25.000 We are, tooth and nail. 1.00
00:22:27.000 This is a mockery of women. 1.00
00:22:29.000 In fact, this person, this man, got famous because he basically chronologically documented his journey of becoming a girl.
00:22:37.000 And you made a really important point there, Charlie, that he does stress the fact that he wants to be a young woman or a girl, which is the most distorted aspect of all of this.
00:22:47.000 But my wife, when she first learned of this person, said, huh, funny, I've been a woman for my entire life for nearly three decades, and I've never received a sponsorship deal.
00:22:57.000 I've never had my face on a bud like and no one's ever called me.
00:23:01.000 And so how much of a mockery do we see on display in corporate America right now that this man pretending to be a woman for a year gets these massive label deals while actual women that are actually living lives authentically are completely ignored by corporate America?
00:23:18.000 They're actually openly antagonized in corporate America, especially moms.
00:23:23.000 Part of the revolt against the targets of the world was the mom audience because they said, I'm so tired of feeling like this retailer is actually trying to target my children.
00:23:31.000 So not only are we seeing a total mockery of basic biological truth, we're also seeing openly antagonistic actions from corporate America toward the very people that they are supposed to be marketing to.
00:23:43.000 The largest consumer cohort in this country, Charlie, are middle-aged women, specifically moms.
00:23:49.000 They make over majority of decisions for the daily household when it comes to purchasing power.
00:23:53.000 And 70% of those purchases daily are made by that cohort.
00:23:56.000 So for corporate America to completely ignore them, to celebrate this type of nonsense, it looks like some distorted reality out of the hunger games.
00:24:03.000 It is the farthest thing from the American economy that you and I and all of your listeners would dream of.
00:24:08.000 We have other examples here of major companies.
00:24:11.000 Again, check out publicsq.com.
00:24:14.000 This is cut 130, which seems to be the CEO of a company called Harry's Razors, saying that moms are birthing parents.
00:24:25.000 They don't use the word moms anymore because in corporate America on college campuses in the CIA, the FBI, and the Biden administration, men can give birth.
00:24:36.000 Play cut 130, you know, created a really sort of unbalanced dynamic and made the co-parenting thing really hard to actually live in practice.
00:24:45.000 And so, you know, that experience, you know, was one that led us to this conclusion that, hey, we need not just a general parental leave policy, but an equal parental leave policy that treats birthing and non-birthing parents equally.
00:24:58.000 So we've implemented that and give everybody four months regardless of whether you're the birthing parent or the non-birthing parent.
00:25:05.000 That's how now corporate America defines motherhood.
00:25:08.000 You guys have a company, Every Life.
00:25:11.000 Contrast that, Michael.
00:25:12.000 That is Harry's Razors, and he gets applause from the audience.
00:25:17.000 Your response?
00:25:18.000 Well, my response is simple.
00:25:20.000 While other companies out there like Perry's are embracing perversion and denying basic biological truth, by the way, a beautiful truth, which is that men and women are different and they're complementary in so many incredible ways, we actually choose to say the opposite.
00:25:36.000 We believe ultimately that men and women are different and that they deserve to be celebrated in those differences.
00:25:41.000 And we've actually created a company called Every Life.
00:25:44.000 You can find it at everylife.com.
00:25:45.000 We're the nation's only pro-life diaper and wipes company.
00:25:48.000 We make premium high-end diapers and wipes for every little miracle.
00:25:53.000 And we actually believe that one of the most beautiful realities of womanhood that men do not have access to is the ability to give birth.
00:26:00.000 That is something unique to women.
00:26:01.000 It's crazy that we have to say that today, but that is true. 1.00
00:26:05.000 And so we want to create a product that specifically speaks to that cohort that is doing the hard work to bring forth the next generation.
00:26:14.000 And we've actually created something cool called a baby bonus, where any of the employees on our staff, he talks about this non-birthing and birthing parent, whatever, equal leave.
00:26:24.000 We think it's absurd.
00:26:24.000 We'd actually like to go directly to the truth and say that if you have a baby on our staff or adopt the child, you get a $5,000 bonus after taxes.
00:26:33.000 And you can use that however you'd like.
00:26:35.000 We'd like to honor the beauty of parenthood.
00:26:38.000 We believe that ultimately strong families make a strong nation.
00:26:40.000 And we believe ultimately that the best way that we can help our nation and our company prosper is by championing the very people that further the mission and the aims of the nation or the company.
00:26:50.000 And that is the families that are continuing to expand our footprint.
00:26:53.000 So, Charlie, I think that ultimately what needs to happen in the American economy is a revival of the family unit because that is what actually makes up the average American consumer, not this 0.5% subset of the culture that finds birthing people as something to be desired. 0.66
00:27:10.000 It's ridiculous.
00:27:11.000 We want to embrace truth, and we believe the American economy will ultimately follow that example as we continue to gain traction.
00:27:17.000 It's publicsq.com.
00:27:19.000 Again, download the Public Square app.
00:27:22.000 Let's continue with how corporate America hates your values.
00:27:26.000 There's got to be a profit break here somewhere.
00:27:28.000 Play cut 129. 0.95
00:27:30.000 Hi, it's me, Pattigonia, a real life homosexual. 0.94
00:27:34.000 And today I'm here with the Northface. 0.68
00:27:35.000 We are here to invite you to come out in nature with us.
00:27:41.000 Wow, this is nice.
00:27:42.000 We like to call this little tour the summer of pride. 0.98
00:27:47.000 That's pretty gay. 0.97
00:27:49.000 I'm not sure what, I don't know if it's Northface or Patagonia, which company, I can never get it right. 0.98
00:27:53.000 It's one of the worst marketing.
00:27:55.000 I think they mentioned their competitor and it's named. 0.96
00:27:58.000 Not only is it super gay and weird, but it's also like, I don't even know what they're advertising. 1.00
00:28:03.000 It's just another example here.
00:28:05.000 But Michael, talk about how you're starting to see in the grassroots people demand better and a call to action for the entrepreneurs.
00:28:13.000 You know, people say, Charlie, the economy is not what I want it to be.
00:28:16.000 Well, then go start your own business.
00:28:17.000 We need a new generation of entrepreneurs.
00:28:19.000 Michael Seifert.
00:28:20.000 Yeah, that's a great point you just made, Charlie, because we actually polled our businesses in July and in August.
00:28:25.000 And we asked our business community, how do you feel about the overall economy?
00:28:29.000 That was question one.
00:28:30.000 Question number two was, how do you feel about your personal business?
00:28:33.000 And what we found, Charlie, is that our audience on our business community, we have over 65,000 small businesses on the public square platform.
00:28:41.000 Our audience overwhelmingly feels negative about the economy currently.
00:28:45.000 Like well over 93% feels negative about the economy currently.
00:28:49.000 But over 70% of our respondents feel positive about their personal company and their individual growth, which is a massive, massive revelation that even while this parallel economy feels negative about what Joe Biden and what this bureaucratic regime has created on the broader macroeconomic landscape,
00:29:09.000 they actually feel really hopeful about the growth of their individual businesses, largely because they are exposed to this whole emerging market of businesses that are prioritizing the basic truths that made our economy so special for so many decades that have now been eroded.
00:29:23.000 In the parallel economy, values like meritocracy and excellence and integrity and quality are actually strong and they're advancing.
00:29:31.000 So our economy of businesses on public square actually growing.
00:29:34.000 They're hiring employees.
00:29:35.000 They're experiencing record profits.
00:29:37.000 And that's our encouragement to folks.
00:29:38.000 If you're a small business owner, join this movement, jump in the stream because you're going to find a network of well over a million and a half consumers that will jump over hurdles in order to support your business because they feel like they're being able to put purpose behind their purpose.
00:29:51.000 So Charlie, even in reference to the North Face or Patagonia, I'm not sure what that was even for either.
00:29:57.000 Yeah.
00:29:58.000 Even in that context, man, we have jackets, coolers, outdoor running shoes, tents.
00:30:04.000 We have rooftop tents.
00:30:06.000 We have outdoor gear, guns, ammo.
00:30:08.000 Anything that you would traditionally find at a woke outdoor retailer, we have actually found alternatives for on our public square platform.
00:30:15.000 And the best thing is, too, a majority of those businesses will actually give you discounts to go there.
00:30:19.000 So you can ditch the woke nonsense and you can actually embrace companies that love to serve you high quality products without all the political pandering.
00:30:27.000 Check out publicsq.com.
00:30:28.000 That's your call to action, everybody.
00:30:29.000 Download the Public Square app right now.
00:30:31.000 It's Michael.
00:30:32.000 Talk to you soon.
00:30:32.000 Download the Public Square app.
00:30:34.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:30:38.000 Joining us now is Dr. Dennis Black, naturopathic doctor, also a Vietnam-era helicopter pilot.
00:30:44.000 Dr. Black, we've talked about you every day on this program.
00:30:47.000 Great to have you on the program.
00:30:48.000 How are things?
00:30:49.000 And tell us all about Rough Greens.
00:30:51.000 Our audience has to go to roughgreens.com slash Kirk, Dr. Black.
00:30:54.000 So, Charlie, good to be with you again.
00:30:58.000 And we started Rough Greens as really a response to our human customers who were saying, look, they were getting well from their nutrition that we gave them, but the problem was their pets were still getting sick at the same rate.
00:31:14.000 And so we created this for their pets 20 years ago.
00:31:17.000 And it was just kind of a little sideline product for probably 15 years.
00:31:25.000 And then we launched it as a standalone product in 2020, actually the day after the first COVID case.
00:31:34.000 And we thought, oh, what a disaster.
00:31:36.000 But it turned out actually to be really very positive because people were now staying at home with their pets and they were seeing what kind of shape their pets were in.
00:31:46.000 So we started it that way and it's taken off amazingly well.
00:31:50.000 Yeah.
00:31:51.000 And I mean, the response has been amazing.
00:31:53.000 Our audience speaks very favorably about it.
00:31:55.000 So give us your backstory and also talk about the success stories here because people don't really think very deeply about what they feed their dogs, just scraps or that garbage that's dead.
00:32:03.000 Talk about the science of it because your dog is always there for you.
00:32:07.000 The least you could do is give them things that are proven to be nutritious and help them with elimination, bad breath, et cetera.
00:32:13.000 Dr. Black.
00:32:14.000 Right.
00:32:14.000 So the reality is that dog food is dead food.
00:32:19.000 Kibble has no live nutrients in it whatsoever.
00:32:23.000 If you take a bowl of kibble and put it on your refrigerator and come back and look at it in six months, it won't have any mold or fungus growing on it because there's nothing alive in it.
00:32:34.000 Most people think that dogs are carnivores.
00:32:38.000 They are not.
00:32:39.000 They're omnivores, just like we are.
00:32:41.000 And so their nutritional needs are similar to ours, but the ratios are different.
00:32:47.000 So what we did was we did a full-blown study on all different kinds of dog food.
00:32:53.000 And it turns out that most kibble dog food are made in the same plants.
00:32:58.000 The color might vary some, the shape varies some, the flavors vary some, but pretty much it's all the same garbage. 0.91
00:33:05.000 And so we realized that dogs were dying and getting cancer. 0.95
00:33:10.000 50% of all dogs over the age of 10 die of cancer.
00:33:13.000 And the reason is because they're not getting enough nutrients in their daily diet.
00:33:18.000 Things like live vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants, omega, all those things that they need, they're just not getting.
00:33:27.000 And so their joints shut down, their skin and coat looks bad, their breath is terrible.
00:33:34.000 And when they have a bowel movement in the yard, it doesn't break down either.
00:33:39.000 It just sits there.
00:33:40.000 It doesn't ever go anywhere because it's not live either.
00:33:43.000 So what we decided was we're going to create a product that has all of the live nutrients that they need.
00:33:50.000 And we're going to give them to them in the amounts that are specific for dogs.
00:33:54.000 And what's going to happen is these dogs are going to turn around.
00:33:59.000 We've literally had thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of stories from people where their dogs stop shedding, their dogs stop scratching all the time.
00:34:08.000 The dogs stop eating grass.
00:34:10.000 The dog breath improved.
00:34:12.000 Bowel movements improve.
00:34:14.000 Joint health improve.
00:34:15.000 The dog lives longer.
00:34:17.000 Less vet bills.
00:34:18.000 I mean, the list goes on and on, the benefits of rough greens.
00:34:22.000 And so, like you said, your dog is your best friend.
00:34:26.000 He does things for you.
00:34:27.000 You should do this for them.
00:34:29.000 Absolutely.
00:34:30.000 And it's a special offer.
00:34:31.000 Go to roughgreens.com slash Kirk.
00:34:33.000 Guys, put that on the bottom here.
00:34:35.000 And they've been wonderful supporters of this show.
00:34:37.000 So everyone that has a dog, check out the free Jumpstart trial.
00:34:39.000 Talk about the Jumpstart trial, the trial bag, lean in.
00:34:43.000 What is the special offer?
00:34:45.000 So you don't need a full-blown-blown bag to tell whether or not your dog's going to eat this product or not.
00:34:52.000 90, probably 97% of all dogs eat this day one.
00:34:56.000 They love it.
00:34:57.000 It's like a treat for them.
00:34:58.000 But we want you to have a Jumpstart trial bag so you can try it before you buy it.
00:35:03.000 So you get about a 10 to 14 day supply, depending on the size of your dog.
00:35:08.000 And that's enough for you to see if you can work it into your system and if your dog will like it.
00:35:14.000 And then if your dog likes it, we recommend that you commit to a minimum of about 90 days where you'll begin to see some really great results.
00:35:22.000 We have people who've had their dog on this product now for over three years, and they tell us that they still see new improvements that they didn't even know were problems in the past.
00:35:33.000 So, jumpstart trial bag.
00:35:35.000 It's a 10 to 14 day supply.
00:35:38.000 You just pay the shipping.
00:35:39.000 We'll give it to you free.
00:35:40.000 Go to roughgreens.com/slash Charlie or slash Kirk and either one of those, and we'll send you one.
00:35:47.000 It's a great product.
00:35:49.000 Our audience loves it.
00:35:50.000 RUFFGreens.com/slash Kirk.
