  • Episode 35: The American-Made Myth: How Corporations Are Faking the Flag (And How to Spot It)

    Are you actually buying "Made in America," or are you just buying a clever marketing trick?


    In this episode of Made in America, hosts Michael King (The Cajun Contractor) and Rita Crompton (The Inventor Lady) tear the lid off a major corporate scandal that the federal government is finally cracking down on. The Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce are currently launching investigations and handing out massive fines to household brands that have been misleading patriotic consumers.


    You’ve seen the trick before: a company slaps a massive American flag on their packaging, plays into your pride, and charges you a premium. But underneath that flag? The product was entirely manufactured overseas in Chinese factories, built to fail rather than built to last.


    What we break down in this episode:

    • The Flag Loophole: Why an American flag on the box does not mean the product was made here.

    • The "Inbound-Outbound" Scam: How raw American materials are shipped abroad to cheap foreign labor markets, only to be shipped back to US warehouses to be sold back to you.

    • The Government Crackdown: Why the feds are finally stepping in to protect American workers and businesses playing by the rules.

    • The Ultimate Consumer Blueprint: Simple, actionable steps you can use at the checkout counter to verify if a product is legitimately manufactured in the USA.


    Support the American worker. Support quality that lasts. Stop letting foreign-manufactured products drain our economy under the guise of patriotism.

  • Episode 34: They Said American Manufacturing Was Dead... We Proved Them Wrong! 🇺🇸

    In this episode of The Made in America Hour, co-hosts Michael King and Rita Crompton sit down with John Cunningham, President of Rogers Manufacturing—a company that has been proudly operating in the USA since 1891. From its origins in bone products on the Connecticut River to its modern-day role as a premier custom injection plastic molder, Rogers Manufacturing embodies the grit, quality, and legacy of true American industrialism.


    Discover why offshoring for "cheap labor" often leads to built-in obsolescence and broken promises, and why switching back to domestic production ensures a superior standard of craftsmanship. John shares the reality of running a multi-shift operation in New England, why American workers are unmatched in resourcefulness, and how choosing localized supply chains builds up tax bases, schools, and thriving communities right here at home.


    If you believe in putting America first and investing in products manufactured to last, this conversation is a must-watch.
