Mike Rowe reveals Ford has 5,000 unfilled mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year.
No degree required. AI-proof. And Ford still can't fill them.
ROWE: "Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... elected official... freaking out."
"They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now."
“Jim Farley (Ford CEO) told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120,000 a year. He can’t fill them.”
In a separation conversation with Shawn Ryan, Rowe said he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”
All three of those electricians have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY: If you're thinking about college but aren't sure what you really wanna do, trade school might be the smarter play.
Chances are, you'll take on a lot less debt, make a lot more money — and AI won't be coming for your job anytime soon.
This is Fenn Church of Shelby County, AL. He's pleading with @alabamapower to move their lines a mere 200 yards so his farmland and home where he's retiring isn't ransacked. They've condemned his land, dozers are ready to roll, and they've ignored my efforts to intervene. WATCH��

What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers.
Your refund: $0.00
Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion
Waiting for y’all to discover Republican leaders in DC have also scheduled an October recess.
There are only 8 full work days and 8 half-days before the midterm elections. It looks like we’re intent on squandering a majority, until you understand Uniparty IS always the majority.
🍠 “My 87-year-old neighbor just dropped potato wisdom that saved me $200 this year…”
She pulled out a plain cardboard box, sprinkled a handful of baking soda like it was gold dust, and whispered, “This is how we kept potatoes through the whole winter back home — no fridge, no chemicals, no sprouting.”
I thought she was joking… until I tried it.
Old-world potato preservation hack:
1. Place your potatoes in a cardboard box (breathable = key)
2. Generously dust them with baking soda
3. Tuck the box away in a cool, dark place (closet, pantry, under the bed)
4. Watch them stay firm and sprout-free for months
No more mushy potatoes. No more throwing away half the bag. Just simple, forgotten knowledge from a generation that didn’t waste a single thing.
Who else is bringing back grandma’s tricks in 2026? Drop a 🥔 if you’re trying this!
Save this before your next grocery run. Your wallet (and your potatoes) will thank you. ❤️
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
The farm bill is back on the menu tonight. This place is insane. Keep up the pressure to pass the amendment to strip out pesticide labeling ban / immunity from the farm bill. It’s now possible we will vote on it tonight.
The House passed FISA Section 702 renewal yesterday. I voted NO.
This was a Uni-Party vote in favor of unchecked government surveillance without adequate warrants or accountability.
No matter where you stand politically, I think we can all come together and agree that putting spyware in our cars that watches what we do and can decide whether we’re even allowed to drive is a direct violation of our 4th amendment right and absolute tyranny.
