Mike Rowe: Nothing means what is says anymore

‘How America Works’ host Mike Rowe discusses the Inflation Reduction Act which President Biden plans to sign into law Tuesday.

Host of "How America Works" Mike Rowe criticized the political rhetoric behind Democrats' massive spending bill on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday, arguing it could be another "emperor's new clothes" situation.

Again with the name of a thing that doesn't seem to reflect the thing? And so we got to peel back the layers and we have to look at it.
