A short distance away, John's teenagers are also working. They're sitting down tying on tags and putting American flag stickers on the barbecue scrubbers.

So Destin has the product he's stubbornly insisted on, a barbecue scrubber that was both made and assembled in America. We're going to take a short break and then come back to the final part of our question. Will anybody really buy this thing? Welcome back to the show. Destin and I met up late this January. He was visiting New York, and he came by the studio.
