Mike Rowe on Tariffs, Slaughterhouses, and Facing Hard Truths

Video Description

“Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe explains why Americans should look beyond economic predictions when thinking about trade, tariffs, and domestic production. Even if economists are right about the downsides of protectionist policies, he argues that moral clarity and national identity sometimes must outweigh short-term efficiency. We’re often unwilling to face uncomfortable truths—from outsourcing to countries with egregious human rights violations to the harsh realities of food production—but Mike believes it’s better to know than to look away.
