Mike Rowe Takes Up CLASS WARFARE with Victor Davis Hanson | The Way I Heard It.

My dad was a carpenter, I remember working with him at a doctors office many years ago, the doctor needed a door hung. This was in the sixties before all the cool battery tools, so my dad used a chisel and hammer to carve out and set the hinges, a bit and brace to drill the holes for the lockset, he cut the trim by hand and crafted everything to fit and look perfect. He gave the doctor the bill, and the doctor complained about the price, my dad asked him why charged as much as he did and the doctor said something like, "I had to go through years of school and years as an intern to learn to be a doctor". So my father said to him, "I can't take out an appendix, but you can't hang a door". You can't argue that. I miss him and his simple wisdom dearly.

[@danielpohl29]

I'm also a carpenter. It's about 5-8 years to become efficient across the board. After 12 years into it, the amount of tools required as well as skill, yeah, I charge what I charge because I have earned it

[@skeetorkiftwon]

​@@danielpohl29Exactly, you don't have to pay me, you can go rent all these tools and then learn to use them yourself. These people really think that tradesmen like doing the work. I don't mind the work, I enjoy doing it for myself; but I'm only doing it for you for the money.

This episode got me really choked up. My father was raised on, and worked his family's citrus farm. When he came of age, he like his older brothers, enlisted in the military. He worked hard as a diesel mechanic most of his adult life, in harsh conditions. He provided for his family and gave me and my brother a wonderful example to follow. This man wrote a check for my college education a semester at a time. He is a conservative and a very patriotic American. Yet some feel that HE is what's wrong with America, because he stands on his values and refuses to bend the knee to the entitled leftists that would have the nerve to call him "deplorable." I owe my father everything, and we in civilized society owe a debt of gratitude to all of those men and women who get up early, pack a lunch, and go off to do the hard work every day.

63 attorney here, after retirement I dedicated all of my time to restoring my house, which was built in 1944. I watched a lot of DYI videos, and learned to do simple plumbing and electrical repairs. And afterwards, when I needed to hire a plumber, electrician, roofer, etc., they would let me help whenever possible. I also spent a lot of time buying parts at the supply stores (and not at Home Depot). I have great respect for "honest" tradesmen, and in many ways I believe that they contribute more to our society than the +1 million lawyers practicing today.

[@rogerdorsey7823]

WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT THE GUTS TO GO IT ON OUR OWN OR ELSE BECOME A BUM.😊

[@skeetorkiftwon]

​@@larrybulthouse455 Most of the industry is plagued by so many issues it's not worth the squeeze. For example: People who are running the "trade schools" are really selling product "systems," building "inspectors" demand the "systems" be used. There's comparable money to be made "streaming" videos if you're talented at all, which the trades also require. High wages for low skill work like burger flipping making the kids not want to get into the trades... because they can't rationalize only making a few dollars more an hour to lift heavy stuff in some of the most deadly jobs for, after taxes, another $150-$200/week, meanwhile they're a net loss for weeks if not months to train. The high rents, vehicle costs, insurance, etc makes getting them to buy their own tools basically a starvation lifestyle with no fun in downtime. If they're getting $1,000/week gross (about 700 take home) and their rent/auto/insurance/phone/food (1,000/250/250/50/400) is $2k a month..a single battery tool is most of their disposable budget. Illegals are everywhere in the trades and they aren't even checked for insurance etc. They never get messed with. Over half my competition is illegal and a good half of what remains is "good ole boy" boomers with illegal labor rolling over shelf LLCs before they break $150k in profit. You can buy illegals by the month from the cartels. It's food, shelter, and $500 per week per man that you pay the cartel guy, not the debt slaves. I've been offered, and I know guys that use them. The customers can't afford what they want, but they "saw it done on HGTV in a weekend." Insurers are dropping carpenters left and right, plumbing and electrical locks people into years and years of apprenticeships that I've personally seen abused repeatedly by boomers who didn't want competition. Most tradesmen now refuse to work under anyone because of the exploitation they experienced coming up. Like the 600,000 mechanic shortage, no one wants to get paid 50% of the profit for 100% of the work. As a master carpenter, how many apprentices do you have? I'd wager if not your own kids, it's none.

Communism is an intellectual ideal (very misguided), whereas Conservatism takes the world as it is, together with all the "unfairness", which is not seen as an evil, it's just the way the world works, there is not need to correct or eliminate it. There should be opportunities for social advancement for those who wish to take them, for example via education. Those with intelligence and the ability to work hard can succeed. Farming teaches one about the raw reality of life, it's not fair, and the laws of nature rule supreme. Animals die unexpectedly, often in unexpected ways, and crops fail from drought, disease or insect attack.

And I'll also bet he couldn't name(much less own) even 5 basic financial/investment products prevalent to his vaunted NE seaboard region financial centers. The capital/job-producing/Euro former immigrant descendant class flight out of the NE urban/suburban centers, will only accelerate this demise.

Thank you Mike for distilling it all down to a simple premise. Hypocrisy. It is absolutely the factor initiating this rebellion in every facet of modern society. From the grapes that are taken for granted to the 18 year old in the helicopter while the doctor protests, ‘not my son!’, to the handyman fixing some elitist’s door. There is a lack of respect and a demoralizing denigration of the people who hold this country together. The people who work hard everyday in the proverbial pit, and sometimes the literal pit, are feeling taken advantage of while CEOs take unprecedented bonuses and neglect the people who allow them to hold such a position. There is no loyalty or respect left to give when there is no reciprocation.

[@actualsurfer]

@@BaliXpres If I may offer a bit of advice as I also suffer from a chronic back injury. Look into getting a device called a "Teeter Hang-Up" . Get the original, not an imitation. It has worked a miracle on my back, my wife's neck and many others I have recommended it to. It is an inversion support device that induces traction on your spine. In physiology there is a Law called "Wolf's Law. It states that Connective tissue is laid down along lines of stress. Out of proper native alignment and the body will begin repair out of alignment and reinforce the disease state. This has a negative impact on nerves, vessels, lymph, surrounding tissue and endocrine system. Chronic inflammation follows that can lead to decompensation in other nearby structures and systems and even to cancer risk. Inducing proper alignment via traction allows your spine a rest. Opens up blood flow to areas compacted by gravity. It allows fluid to flow back into the spinal discs and rehydrate. This opens up the intervertebral foramen (holes) where the nerves pass through. Via Wolf's Law...allows your body to repair itself in proper alignment. Combine this with good nutrition, stretching Range of Motion exercises, breathing techniques and strength training and it is possible to fully heal and reverse a chronic injury. I dont know your specific case so you should consult with your Dr about it. One last thing. Though you can fully invert upside down, its not recommended to do that if you cant tolerate it...Rather, the best results are when you invert 5 degrees to 15 degrees or so. It can be set up with stop limits so there is no fear of getting stuck upside down etc. During inversion you would relax into it and do some deep breathing and subtle lateral movements to get the spine to straighten out. I wish you the best recovery!

I say it is way past time to fulfill their own prophesy when you see the carnage from just the first decade in the following searchable database even though it should include the case of the cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer as well as he too was drugged at the most vulnerable time in life - as a fetus while his body & brain were forming: found at SSRIstories but not as a dot com, but rarher as a dot net

Victor seems completely unaware that the only great industrialists used to be the spectacularly wealthy elite, and all the things he complains about in the new elites, they were guilty of. Victor just hates that the industrialists no longer make the most money. He’s so lacking self awareness.

Many years ago, I had occasion to read IQ packages here in Northern Ontario in order to help students who were in Special Education to receive grants from the Provincial Government. I read that one of the IQ profiles that was considered similar to another was that of a vehicle mechanic compared to that of a medical surgeon. I began to think that some mechanics should have become surgeons and some surgeons should have become mechanics.🧐 Thank you for this very fascinating discussion.

My husband and I always say “it’s easier to find a good doctor than it is to find a good mechanic.” We were saddened when our mechanic, who’s married to a doctor, retired and sold his business.

Mike Rowe is so articulate and carries a deep vocabulary which shows that ‘blue collar’ folks aren’t all yahoos. In fact, more tradespeople than not are well educated and articulate.

I think Poppy Bush said it best. " Blue collar don't deserve to be owning houses. They don't know how to maintain them." Then he calls someone and pays them to fix what is broken in his HOUSES

[@OliviaHacking-kf7px]

There always has been more real intelligence among blue collar workers than media dictates because they live in REALITY. Higher learning is commendable, yet we must not assume that educated automatically means intelligent. Not true, two entirely different things. Rich conversation between two articulate intelligent real men with humility.❤

[@sgiclover]

Well, Mike is a college graduate. I think because he advocates for the blue-collar industries, everyone assumes that is his background as well. Makes you respect him even more that he's using his education to promote blue collar, or as he refers to, as the muscular trades.

Maybe President Trump should hire VDH to whisper in his ear. Historical perspective is incredibly important!

OIF vet here. I’m a warrior to the core, but you couldn’t convince me to get my son to join. I feel betrayed in my youth to go fight a war ideologically, that fundamentally wasn’t true, and hind sight…..used our emotions of the time against us. That mistrust isn’t solved easily and I don’t want to send my son to false wars for the military industrial complex. I think many other warriors feel the same way and choose to raise our sons as home warriors. Ready to defend this house and family. I’m very proud of my service and of those that have and do serve. I’m not proud of our lying politicians that are willing to throw us to the fire, just to see how the flames dance.

The RINOs are there to give people the illusion of choice, and to lose gracefully to the progressive liberal left. WTC7 was a controlled drop, and the Bush and Obama families are incredibly close...

Mike Rowe, thank you so much for letting your guests speak, it is greatly appreciated. Journalists today like to hear themselves talk, they can learn a lot watching you. Great interview.

[@trumanhw]

Exactly. What surprises me is how few people object to the narcissism. But then, they aren't really journalists, and are more of activists; take that grotesque "intro" at the NABJA to Trump. 🤮 As if that weren't enough ... imagine if journalists could see themselves as we see them; for the stenographers they really are. How do those people accept _approved messaging_ cards, or the _authorized questions to ask the regime_ without quitting. SURELY they realize what they're doing doesn't even RESEMBLE journalism. In which you could make a montage of 50-100 of them pumping out regime media every day. How can they possibly have any self respect..? And how do they not realize that if they're asked to repeat it [by] the regime, that it must mean the opposite is true..? What was interesting was to hear VDH repeat that many of the faculty at universities realize their institutions have completely corrupted their telos. Which means they know they're self immolating now. At first, democrats were just assuming that if POCs went to college that they'd suddenly be smart (whether they were or weren't) by merely attending. But instead of making people who traditionally wouldn't have gone to college smart ... they made colleges that graduated them dumber, and resulted in either mismatch and dropping out for the rest (see: Heather Mac Donald's work). How glorious it'd be if there actually [were] tests given to grads irrespective which university you went to, in order to have some parity within the meaning of their diplomas and fake GPAs. Personally, this is another VDH interview I will listen to more than once. Just outstanding.

This was such an emotional episode for me. All of the men on my father’s side were working class, and all served in the military in one way or another. My father served two terms in Vietnam. His family was poor. He had no resources for college. He was drafted. It makes me feel so saddened that young, working class men have been so demonized they no longer want to serve. Though the reasons for a country entering war might vary from the justified to the nonsensical, the one uniting factor of these men is their willingness to die for their country. Although I miss him everyday, I’m relieved he did not live to see this. It brings tears to my eyes.
