Why Mike Rowe is Fed Up with COVID Fear-Mongering | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 135

A lot has changed since the last time Glenn sat down with “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe. Over the last two years of pandemic, Glenn and Mike agree that many Americans have gotten way too afraid of taking risks. As the government insists that compliance with “The Science” will protect us, Mike tells the truth about the dangers of a “safety first” mentality and why he much prefers putting “safety third.” And he explains why Canada’s Freedom Convoy and the Let’s Go Brandon movement are signs that people are growing tired of being scared into submission. Glenn and Mike also discuss Mike’s biggest lessons from decades in the TV business, why he’s so determined to offer “Work Ethic Scholarships,” and how close he got to hosting "The Daily Show." And Glenn gives Mike a new "dirty job" involving CNN …

Mike Rowe is the standard of commonsense. Love this guy! Glenn you are pretty good too!

[@RGMiron]

It seems that is what the Biden Administration lacks, Commonsense. He caused what I must, reluctantly support him in. Am I any better.

[@shirleykirby1891]

Mike Rowe is a great role model and all the young people should be made to watch him 🙏🙏🙏

[@MrSpencerport]

Nobody should be made to watch anything but Dirty Jobs might be the best show to show people how the world works.

[@andrews042]

I'll go with "should be made available" or perhaps part of an offered curriculum. But I agree with the point. If kids are required to receive RCT, there should also be a counter to the radical Left agenda.

We used to watch it all the time in my Junior Studies class. Can’t remember anything else we did in that class other than watch Dirty Jobs, and we watched Hell Week-the intense training marines have to endure.

[@camaro6813]

AGREED!!!! Man if they told these stories and had Mike Rowe in every kids ear!!! IT would produce the greatest generation yet!!

[@ryansmith290]

​@@camaro6813RFK Jr is going to pick Mike Rowe as his VP. The announcement is 26-MAR in Oakland. Mike Rowe lives in Belvedere, CA which is directly northeast of the Golden Gate bridge. Imagine the PR campaign at federal level Rowe will finally have at his disposal if they get elected

Mike Rowe is so genuine and humble. He just makes me smile. Thanks for this one, Glenn. Nice departure from the chaos. ✌🏼

I could listen to Mike Rowe all day long. Thank you.

[@bcutler001]

In the entertainment world where generosity, humility, and authenticity go to die, Mike Rowe stands out as a magnificent exception to the rule. "The Way I Heard It" is first-rate and definitely worth a listen... every week. Thank you Mike for all you stand for and being the genuine article.

[@Minimalisticmimi]

Love you having Mike Rowe on - an American Hero like you are Beck. I'm one of 8 from that generation went through what you are talking about. My parents were married after WW2 - our Dad went to college (BU), then worked as a teacher while he worked at the Natick, MA drive-in while he had 3 kids so far - received his Master's Degree in Education at Harvard. He was a remarkable man. We moved when there were 7 of us to a bigger home that needed to be renovated and he did all that. I remember our Mom, so strict - just as smart as our Dad, created what we called then a "Fallout Shelter". She stocked Commander Byrds big cans of Apples" who kept his junk in our backyard barn in MA. I'm such a big fan of history learning from two men that are addressing and helping all - every so often I find a HERO - here you are. When I watched Prezident Zelinsky stay with his people today - I found another hero - there's so many there - men, women, and children. Thank you. Mimi (Grammy) Susan

[@foxtrotjulietbravo5536]

You brought tears to my eyes Susan. My dad was equally unique and faced incredible challenges in his life but he always stayed optimistic and never dwelled on anything negative. I couldn't help but notice the overwhelming number of men and boys at his funeral.

[@Mary95191]

Thank you Glenn & Mike⭐️⭐️⭐️. On some things in life, they are not always as they appear to be. We have huge corporations with an agenda that could work with MSM and make it appear that Bigfoot had invaded Alaska and was eating all the moose. Remember…War of the Worlds.

I don't think I could have loved this more. There is an ever evolving list of "people with whom I'd like to sit and have a cup of coffee", and you two gentleman have been on it for a very long time. Hey, an old lady can still dream. Right? Thank you both for all you do.

Thank you Mike Rowe for taking the side of working Americans. I work in the grocery industry for many years and it is backbreaking hard. But in the end hardwork pays off because the manager at my store gave me many raises for my work ethic.

Two great leaders who are unafraid to speak their minds ... How refreshing! Take note folks; this is what leadership looks like!

[@danih.7960]

[@byronhk4197]

Glenn, This truly has been one of the best shows of yours that I've seen. It showed that 2 men could talk without taking any perceived offense from the other person, without foul language and with respect for each other. This should be shown in schools with a rating z- not of G or PG -- but TLV, that is True Life Values, with a reading assignment of a "Rest of the Story" book.

[@cherylhillskemper7564]

The truth is so refreshing.

[@MissMalevolent]

Mike has a voice I wish I could bottle as a perfume.

[@3horsesrunning199]

Oh absolutely! It would be that warm sensuous spicy smell( cedar,tobacco,oud,vanilla) not overwhelming but just enough to turn heads & have everyone ask what you are wearing.

[@adsrentals]

There is nothing wrong with trade skills!! I was ecstatic to reward a plumber $225.00 for 10 minutes use of his hydrosnake and locating a sewer failure relating to a tenant plumbing issue. These skills are invaluable for daily existence! Thank you to the garbage people, plumbers, water treatment people, electricians, carpenters, truckers, factory workers, loggers...God Bless the FARMERS AND RANCHERS!!!! People who use their life skills are 10x's more valuable than a Phd. degree who won't get their hands dirty!!! God Bless the BLUE COLLARS!

We need to decide if we the people exist to serve the Government or does the Government exist to serve the people??? We need to publish all of our Politicians voting records to see how they vote/voted on thing that would help us the people. We need look at the Politicians, Democrats and the Republicans who vote in favor of the Lobbyist and not what is best for us the people. Then we need to vote all of those Politicians out of office. Lets choose not to serve the Government but to have the Politicians/Government to serve us. Lets take back our Country. Limit there terms, NO CAREER POLITICIANS !!!!!!

T the safety issue is true. I used to drive a 18 wheeler, I noticed when the seatbelt law came about 4 wheeler's drove more erratic. When airbags came along it got worse. A driver I was talking with on the c.b he said something I never forgot. He said, if the car Co. would place a anvil on the steering wheel instead of a airbag, these nuts would quit this crazy driving overnight. Made a lot of sense.

[@jeffreymckinery4627]

Yeah, I have done too much commercial construction and honestly gloves and glasses do make sense...even the lighter gloves make a world of difference and I know both ways I promise...but alot of it is wild and too broad a construct... harnesses even on a roof(though technically required in more places than that lower to the ground) a a giant hazard, most falls are from tripping on an air hose or power cord on the incline as is, now there are as many more trip lines as there are workers present and they aren't an invincible empowerment, there needs to be a protocol to get someone off of theme should they fall, and pronto.... have worked for psychos that think you can roof with a half inch of ice on roof because, harnesses...crazy

My dad was a self employed plumber in the imperial valley California in the early 80’s. He says he learned back then that you knew how to run your business by watching the TV. When the TV was telling you to be scared business would start to dry up. He said eventually people start to get tired of being scared. I think that’s where we’re at now. We are tired of being scared

[@brianwilke592]

When Glenn asked Mike who his favorite story teller was, I immediately thought "Paul Harvey," before Mike answered the same. My Grandpa was a great story teller. I used to just hang around him at family gatherings just to hear him tell story after story to whomever would listen.....it has a lot to do with rhythm. Mike is a good story teller, and so, of course, is Glenn. Hence, why I stuck around for the whole one hour and eleven minutes. Thanks, guys..
