Fox and Friends– Interview with Michael Seifert

Fox and Friends, Fox Business

June 18, 2023

 

Rachel Campos-Duffy: As woke corporations embrace abortions using Corporate Social Responsibility policies to push anti family agendas, there is one company that stands in contrast with pro life, pro family, and with pro freedom values.

 

Will Cain: PublicSq., an app linking patriotic small businesses has announced a new policy offering employees $5,000 when they have a child, or they adopt.

 

Pete Hegseth: Joining us now Michael Seifert, the CEO of PublicSq., Michael, thanks for being here. Where did this idea come from? I mean you see the whole world going in one direction and you guys went the other.

 

Michael Seifert: Well, thank you so much for having me. That’s exactly right. We did see the world going in this direction that we believe is really anti-family. We think that ultimately a company is only as strong as the families that built it. And then for us, we’re a pro-family company. We’re unashamed about that. And we’re actually the largest marketplace in the country of pro-family businesses. So we thought what better way to express this value that’s core to our beliefs than actually putting some money behind it, putting our money where our mouth is. And while companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Target, Patagonia, are offering up to $4,500 to pay for their employee’s abortions. We wanted to sing an opposite tune and say let’s actually put $5,000 behind any of our employees that were to have a baby, their spouse were to have a baby, or they were to adopt and this would be $5,000 after tax, they can use it as they please, just as an awesome thank you for being a great team remember and to empower their family to continue to grow.

 

Rachel Campos-Duffy: I couldn’t love this any more. It’s just awesome. By the way, the list of the companies is interesting the Walt Disney Company is on the list of those offering abortion. The other thing it’s fascinating is these companies try to catch this as they’re so compassionate, but they want you to get an abortion because it’s cheaper for them. It’s more convenient. They want it it’s you know, you don’t have to take maternity leave. I think it’s so great what you’re doing.

 

Michael Seifert: Well, that’s Well, thank you. That’s the sad reality of this is that these companies will pretend to care about quote unquote women’s health care, but at the end of the day, they just don’t want to pay maternity leave. There, they are more afraid of losing the monetary value that their employees provide. So, they would rather choose that then they would to empower the growth of these families. And I think that’s really destructive. I actually want more of our employees’ family members because I think they’re great people and we want their communities to thrive and we believe that ultimately strong families build a strong nation and I wish more companies felt the same.

 

Will Cain: Michael, I know you guys are a new company. And I know you just announced this policy. Has anybody taken advantage of the $5,000 bonus?

 

Michael Seifert: Yes, actually, just in the last month we’ve had three pregnancies announced so it’s happening, people are using it.

 

Will Cain: Do you issue the bonus upon pregnancy or upon birth on finalization of the adoption?

 

 

 

 

Michael Seifert: Upon birth.

 

Will Cain: Upon birth? And finalization.

 

Michael Seifert: Upon birth yeah but in the adoption case we’re actually doing it upon the beginning of their effort to go adopt because adoption fees can be exorbitant.

 

Rachel Campos-Duffy: Absolutely true.

 

Will Cain: It’s really neat. So, some people have already begun the process.

 

Rachel Campos-Duffy: They are starting the baby boom.

 

Will Cain: I would suggest, I hope you’ve budget well out the next nine to 12 months.

 

Pete Hegseth: The PublicSq. baby boom. By the way, it’s a great app PublicSq. I’ve used it in my area to find businesses that align with our values. Appreciate what you’re doing at PublicSq. Thank you.

 

Michael Seifert: Thank you.

 

Rachel Campos-Duffy: Thanks, Michael.
