Mike Rowe says US gov't revoked permits to film 'Dirty Jobs' episode at last minute — allegedly over Rowe's 'personal politics'

Mike Rowe, beloved host of TV show "Dirty Jobs," said the federal government revoked permits to film an episode of his show at the last minute — allegedly over Rowe's "personal politics."

What are the details? Rowe on Monday outlined the issue in detail on Facebook, saying the Government Services Administration "suddenly revoked our permit" as the agency "oversees the location" where the episode on boilermakers was to be filmed.

The host said "Dirty Jobs" was required to apply for permits "months ago," and after receiving them, "we were assured several times over the last few months that everything was still good to go."

Then suddenly they weren't.

Rowe said that "just two days before I was scheduled to arrive, we received a phone call from a woman at the GSA who informed us that our permits were being revoked. When we asked for an explanation, she said, 'security concerns.' When we asked her what kind of security concerns, she said she didn’t know. She only told us that the decision had come down from 'the very highest levels within the GSA.'"

The host said the surprising permit revocation was a "first."

"Over the last twenty years, Dirty Jobs has filmed in many sensitive environments under government control. We’ve received permits from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Seabees, Coast Guard, NASA, and The Army Corps of Engineers," he noted. "We’ve gotten permission to film inside the Capitol and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. We even got a permit to film inside the National Security Agency! In all cases, we worked closely and in good faith with the government and scrupulously avoided any areas that were deemed sensitive or secure. Never once in twenty years has the government revoked a permit — much less at the last minute, and with no plausible..."

He’s not even very overtly partisan. Mostly what he advocates is vocational training and entrepreneurship.

Yeah, his views are dangerous.

He thinks hard work is honorable.

Because Mike is a member of the most menacing terror organization in the US. An activist, no less.

They don’t accuse white men of being inherently evil for no reason. It is so they can do things, random and vicious things. Hurt, cancel, kill.

Sue them and learn the autocrat’s identity in discovery. It’s a dirty job Mike, but somebody has to do it.

He’s guilty of trying to work while white.

You show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.

“boilermakers” covers a lot of ground. Maybe Mike will elaborate. Could be anything from a reactor plant to a locomotive to the steam plant at a Chinese laundry. Bidum is clearly enjoying throwing monkey wrenches just to see how much damage he can do. I guess we’d want to know if the Boiler belongs to something Trump is building?

The dude is studiously apolitical. But he does speak from very well grounded, fact driven common sense. No wonder the lefties hate him.

Why would you believe being a selfless warrior for the working class would garner him any slack from the lefties?

Those are American values he touts. That’s why he is an enemy of the democraps.

Mike Rowe dedicated our high school's new $50 million vocational education center a couple of weeks ago. Here is the story I posted on FR:

*The dude is studiously apolitical.* *He’s not even very overtly partisan.*

He needs to be more political. The left can’t intimidate a likable guy who’s not overt about his politics but they know his apolitical ideas are a threat.

If he stays in his box it would be either out of fear or he’s one of those classy Bushies who won’t call a spade a spade.

Could this be a “Don’t go on Gutfeld” message from this administration?
