The following is an edited transcript of an interview between Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley and Mike Rowe on a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire/mike-rowe-something-to-stand-for-6-22-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Extra edition of Morning Wire</a>.
Mike Rowe became a national name as host of the massively popular reality show &#8220;Dirty Jobs,&#8221; in which he traveled around the country – and got his hands literally dirty – learning what hard-working Americans do daily to make a living. He has since gone on to head up the nonprofit <a href="https://mikeroweworks.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MikeRoweWORKS</a>, which has awarded millions in “Work Ethic” scholarships – and he&#8217;s produced more widely popular content. Mike’s latest labor of love is a feature-length film “<a href="https://somethingtostandfor.movie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Something to Stand For</a>,” part documentary/part narrative that’s soon to release in theaters. He believes America is not just hungry but starving for something to unite around.
