I saw this on Liberty Daily. Mike Rowe took down Chuck Adkins in much the same way the Phoenix police took out that antifa protestor by the balls.
Permanent damage.
Dead on funny.
Leftist snobs who look down on blue collar workers because they work with their hands and don’t buy their nonsense.
The disconnect is cultural. Just call middle Americans racist.
Howard Dean and the rest of think if you reject the Democratic Party’s identity politics, you’re a white nationalist racist.
You can just feel their visceral contempt for every one without a college degree.
People who do manual labor keep this country running. Trump loves them.
Look who doesn’t and Mike Rowe is right, we have a lot of ignorant people in this country.
Wow! That was an epic response.
Bravo Mike! Love him & his show.
That would be similar to what the left is doing except for the fact that it's true.
BZ to Mike Rowe. Not sure whether this is an instance of digging deep into or soaring above oneself.
Aside from co$t, my gripe with “higher” education is that it’s more about receiving indoctrination than acquiring knowledge. A line from a movie accurately stated that the cost of a good education was no more than desire and a library card.
The following link to a song from the musical South Pacific came to mind as I read.
You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught

Dayum! There’s a padded room somewhere missing its Chuck Adkins.
I don’t know whether to be more amazed this dummy can use Facebook or form words. Both I guess.
Good job Mike!
Brilliant! I appreciate Mike Rowe doing this.
“Republicans are anti-intellectuals, eh?”
Then why did Diamond and Silk ask the question, that if all the other races are climbing up, why are the blacks being held back, by the so-called leaders? Isn’t that the essence of anti-intellectualism? Isn’t being called “acting too white by having good grades in school” anti-intellectualism? That is a hallmark of Democratic leaders, not the Republicans.
I am a proponent of trade schools, On-The-Job training programs, apprenticeships for technical fields, mentoring in businesses, and all of that WITHOUT any mention of that baneful word ‘unoin’ attached to it.
I was in a ‘business school’, before my time in the U.S. Air Force. While serving, I learned two trades, one through ‘O.J.T.’, and one through a technical school apprenticeship. Later, I pursued a college degree in ‘aeronautics’. Lastly, I attended graduate classes for a degree in Literature.
I was a Libertarian. I listened to the arguments of Diamond and Silk, and arrived at the conclusion, ‘for the good of the nation’, to ditch and switch to the Republican Party.
So, I am not an anti-intellectual elite. I believe there are courses of study and training for everyone, in everything, beyond earning a minimum wage and finding that niche made for them.
Way to go Mike!
Wow! Copied and saved.
Great response by Mike Rowe! Have to save it. Thanks!

I had no Idea about this guy, other than having seen his old “Dirty Jobs” program a few times.
He really is quite brilliant.
We need more Mike Rowes.
I agree with every word and just wish I could express myself half as well.
His method is the best by far, but all too few people are capable of following his example of showing up the fallacies calmly and logically point by point.
That’s gonna leave a mark!
I love Mike. Before I deleted my Facebook account, he was one of the only people outside of family that I followed. We could use 1000 more just like him.
