I’m a conservative Christian and one of my dearest friends is a Jewish liberal. We rarely talk politics, but when we do there is such a respect for the other’s opinion. Respect and recognizing the common denominator of humanity is something this country is missing, and our media eagerly fuels that divide. Middle ground does exist. ❤
Newly found respect for Kat Timpf. I've always liked her on Fox, but Mike gave her the spotlight to see how real she is. Love you Kat! Best wishes for you and yours.
Currently, I am an independent voter, but was raised in a very liberal, politically savvy family. So, I remained a Democrat until my mid-40's. Once I stopped identifying as a Democrat, my democratic "Friends" were outraged. Especially when Trump came along. The outrage was overwhelming. Anger, vulgarity, insults to intelligence-never once questioned previously, were all considered perfectly proper. My compassionate, open minded liberal friends and family, who could once carry on with hours and hours of political conversations, are so outraged to hear an opposing point of view, that political conversations are just not allowed. For more than some people, your political position has become a litmus test for your morality. I find this outrageous.
@brianfunicane considering that many political positions are ammoral, that isn't surprising. Advocating killing babies until birth and letting ablution survivors die on the table, calling your political opponent "literally Hitler", supporting terrorists, lying about man's influence on climate change, racism against whites, schism against men, hatred of heterosexuals, bringing in alien invaders, screwing over hurricane victems, etc.
So sick of the “team” aspect of politics. Used to be a conservative Republican, now I don’t know what I am. I’m more socially moderate, fiscally conservative. Haven’t voted for either major party since 2012. It has caused me to lose friendships with some of my conservative friends who demanded I play on the team. I’m done and waiting for a third party to get its shit together. I’ll hang there until I die and won’t play into the two party mess that is currently in place. Some of my conservative would label me a “liberal” or “socialist” because I would challenge some of their views. They’ve broken off contact because I didn’t agree with them. I expected this behavior from the left but not from the right. Some insist I be as outraged as them or I can’t have a label they approve of.
Kat did an excellent job explaining what I believe too many of us feel. I know when the Trump admin was in office I had a friend send out a note of FB saying if you support this admin then we can’t be friends. I replied with can someone help me understand why you would throw away a friendship because you differ on policy? The hate I received in response made me abandon FB. It was such a toxic place. Who wants to be treated like that on a regular basis? I find that reasonable people will love you in-spite of your own beliefs and frailties. I know I rarely agree with some of my friends but I don’t love them any less. We can do better and we should. Thanks Kat. Looking forward to listening to your books. 😊
Similar things happened to me. life long friends that I had know since at least junior high school. Suddenly spoke as if we could not have a differing opinion. If my buying my daughter Thomas Sowell books and I Stand With Riley Gaines shirts makes me a horrible mother. Then give me a crown! As I will continue to educate her on truths while protecting her spaces and sports. You seem like a delightful human to us. Bless you and I hope you are having a lovely day.
@@ElaJP3268 yes, educating your daughter and protecting her space in sports is so important. My niece just joined swim team. She is in 6th grade and I shudder to think of her having to go through what Riley Gaines went through. The only way to prevent this from perpetuating itself is to educate the next generation and pray God opens the eyes of people who are being deceived by the far left ideology. Thanks to Mike and Kat and others like them we can see the truth of what is happening. I’m glad they aren’t afraid to speak truth.
Kat, You have so much talent. Enjoy your pregnancy - best time ever ~ I pray that you find what you are seeking for. Our Creator is waiting for you...may you find him. ♥
Great interview. I’m also a politically homeless independent and agree with you both. Mike is an independent voice that our country desperately needs right now. As a fan of dirty jobs since the beginning, I also appreciate his support for the trades and blue collar workers.
@@MostlySteve nothing is worse than mutilating and neutering children. Sorry, if you're on the fence, you have a problem. Imagine being in nazi germany and being -- well, I don't agree with everything the nazi's are doing, but the other side also has issues with, like, taxes... no. There is something called balance. Nothing the right has ever done in all of history is worse than mutilating children. If you can think of something, let me know.
As a military spouse whose husband deployed multiple times to the Middle East, I appreciate the discussion on mental health issues our servicemen and women face. I don't think many people really grasp what they wrestle with after they return home. Please know there are many in the military who are trying to help their fellow veterans the best they can. ❤
Great interview! I am a staunch conservative, but I like to hear all perspectives. I want a country that is prosperous and safe once again. I want a future for my children and grandchildren, but I believe that there are things coming that will put it all into question. God is in control, and I know that He sees tomorrow. God bless you and your family, Kat. I pray that you have a wonderful pregnancy!!!
I would say that no party affiliation is exactly what we need in this country. As long as they have us paying loyalty to one party or the other, they own us and they don’t have to be honest.
Kat, you are absolutely correct, it IS ugly being a veteran, especially a disabled veteran (mental health disability). My husband has gotten therapy for decades, on & off and truly has improved in strides. But he still suffers from mental health. And he is STILL judged for some of his unwelcomed behavior by others. I don't understand why he is not given the due respect of compassion, especially his status. Your book sounds wonderful! I respect you for speaking out !
You have my sympathy, this is a difficult subject. There was a time when we all had respect for those in the military, but now we have more understanding of the military industrial complex, we have less empathy for those hurt who are perceived as complicit within it. Look into diet changes and plant medicines to help his mental health. The carnivore diet is showing incredible improvements for many and there is serious research being done proving DMT and psilocybin can cure mental issues like addictions and PTSD.
not really. she's another leftist. No one sits on the fence when children are being mutilated and neutered. You're either fine with that or against it. There is no fence on that issue.
@@kittybrowneye3163 I'm wondering how many people have blacklisted her because she works at foxnews. Have you read her books? Honest question. I have not. Rowe seemed to be enjoying it.
I'm an Independent and I'm not a "conservative" but I fully support Trump and my goodness, if you love the USA and want to see our country prosper than you're MAGA. MAGA simply means Make America Great Again. Right now, things aren't great. Personally, I want our country be better than ever before.
As an independent, and someone who truly loves America, I don’t see how any patriotic, democracy loving American could vote for Donald Trump. Primarily because of the fake electors scheme, calling on Mike Pence to overturn the election, the call to raftenzburger trying to get him to find 11,000 votes ‘wink-wink’. Questioning the results of an election is perfectly fine, but not after 60-some court cases and thousands of people corroborating the fact that there was no wide-spread voter fraud. It is this fact that I don’t believe Trump is good for America as it perpetuates conspiratorial thinking and lies.
It's not going to be. It's been a captive operation for over one hundred years, the aim, to destroy it. It's far too late and the Phoenix cataclysm returns in 2040 which they know and don't want the rest of us to. That being said, live your best life until then.
You sound like most independents including myself. I lean more to the right because of the constitution and common sense. Less government control, however 1990’s early 2000’s socially liberal. 🎉

Yes!! She is a great writer, I bought it through audible so was able to listen as I did things through the day, she was the narrator so that was really cool. Like she was simply talking to me, lol
Awesome interview, Mike and Kat! I have Kat’s latest, which I have not yet had a chance to read. It has, however, moved up to the top of my reading stack of books. This election cycle has caused me to become Independent now for the exact reasons that Kat talked about. I just don’t want to be associated with any group who thinks they have all the answers. I’m retired now, and I’m glad I am, because the environment is so caustic that anything and everything you say can get you put on unpaid leave or worse, fired.
This is one of the most brilliant discussions I have been fortunate to witness in AGES. I am reassured now, that my love of Kat and Mike is well founded. I would like to see (though I know how things are) these two come back together again sometime if nothing else but to tear a new body orifice out the ignorance of this country and the world in general. Please :)
Mike, I'm stealing this from a ground news reporter, Peter Santenello, who has a TH-cam video "They Ruined My Hometown" about Burlington, Vermont. At one point he discusses "destructive empathy," which is when you care deeply but do not consider the secondary, third, and forth-level consequences of your caring. To me, this concept explains a giant difference between the right and left, with the right digging into consequences but also rarely considering such deep empathy, and the left not acknowledging the subsequent results of their empathy.
I’ve been watching Kat and always found her intriguing but could never really put my finger on what she was REALLY like. This is such a good conversation and has explained a lot for me. Great conversation Mike! Good luck to Kat and Cam on the start of their family. As her family grows the questions she still has will start to be answered.
I was amazed to find out that you sang opera. I love the many facets of people. We spend way too much time trying to be one dimensional. Human beings are not one dimensional. We are wonderfully complex and to expect less of one's self or others I believe to be delusional. Also, for Ms. Timpf. Please, please do not aspire to be religious. So many terrible things are said and done in the name of religion. Rather, we should aim to be Christians, real Christians who try to model their lives after Christ when he was walking amongst us. And, listening to your wisdom and compassion, your heart is ready. It has been a joy to listen to this interview. Thank you for letting me insert my opinions.
Great discussion of troops returning from war. When my husband and I both returned from deployments, we were grateful to have a partner who knew what we had each seen and done. When WWII troops returned, they took a ship which gave them weeks or months to decompress. Today’s troops are back in the civilian works the next day.
@@auntiedotal haha, that’s a great question. My husband and I are both very structured by nature, so we kept a routine at home of jobs, house work, and sleep. Even then, we struggled not to drink too much. The best part was going to sleep knowing that nobody would come in at midnight with a mission.
My first thought Mr Rowe when I found out you sang opera--I found that so interesting! That made me want to know more. Thank you for being the very few left with some common sense and something worthwhile to say!
Kat, Impressed with you and Mike Rowe's podcast conversation. Thanks for your honesty, I've always respected Mike and his causes. Looking forward to learning more about your journey and who you are. You mentioned that you're not religious, yet I think you are very religious with your honesty (humbleness), charity, God given talents, your marriage relationship. You are a great example of Godliness. Just wait until you become a mother and you rediscover all your qualities all over again. Wishing you and yours all the best!
Kat I’m still not over Covid either. The over reach was outrageous. Completely agree with you on all of this!! I’m buying your book, love your opinions ❤
Loved the video. Kat is amazing. The difference between iron and steel is fire, and steel is worth it. Kat has been through the fire and is better for it. All the best for her in the future. Great talk, Mike Rowe!
I enjoyed Kat's performance on Fox's Gutfield show but never really thought about her. After watching this show with Mike Rowe I now have a much better understanding of her as a person and now I think she is great.
Im definitely with Kat & Mike about there not being enough help for veterans. But on the other hand, there isnt always a solution. Some people will experience war & it will fuck them up so badly, they will never be whole. Not every problem has a solution, but we still need to try
I've seen Kat on Fox News (mostly when Gutfeld had a night-time show - I've not watched Fox News, for approx. 8 year); and appreciated her personality & style of humor of humor. Listening to her on this podcast, she seems to be alot more "at home" (open/ non-performative, authentic, and I really like her. Am enjoying this. Btw: I also grew up in a "Very" Catholic family, Catholic school, all the rules, shame, guilt, etc. So, I had to walk away because I felt, staying in Catholicism, would make me hypocritical, and for me, at that time, that would be a greater evil; because I wanted to do things that broke rules, I couldn't reconcile , nor justify, within the faith. Know, as a mature, old woman, I am grateful for the Catholic teachings and the spiritual identity/knowledge that I inherited from it. I've always believed in the faith, I just had no way of understanding the "hierarchal structures", specifically: priests, whom (as a child & young teen) I found to be very arrogant and aloof/detached. It was unsettling and scary. And then, Vatican City, the "Pope", the entire political/"power structure", was all too much. it took me up until the past cpl years to pray for acceptance, for understanding, and while I still am not 100% "there". I cherish the fact that my family & my ancestors, going back, only God knows how long, kept sacred, kept Catholicism as - highly important in their daily lives/family lives, and as the "Way" to follow Christ, God, etc. - our Christian Faith of Catholicism. I'm now at a place where I keep an attitude of gratitude, and view my religion as a very precious, rich inheritance. And, I leave the, "political & personalities", kinda "checked", within the structure of the Catholic Church's Operations. And, as for the teachings, faith, sacraments, observances, ... those I am now happy to follow, imperfectly. But, with a desire to grow closer to, always. And, am grateful & at peace with myself. I also realize that the part of me that expects perfection, is not helpful, nor is it necessary...and, it can and does cause me more anguish and has lead me to quitting vs. reminding myself that God loves me, He knows my heart, and I do better when I persist in maintaining a constant, conscious relationship with God, believing in myself in relationship with my faith, .. and accepting I will likely continue to develop a more unified communion with God, remembering that He is leading me, and that I'm not alone. And, understanding that imperfection or, "falling short" is not hypocrisy. Sorry for over-sharing. But, Kat's comment about faith, was/is relatable. BTW: "the weed IS too strong! Damn it" - I once loved smoking (weed/hash/honey oil), daily! And " IT really agreed with me" (this was 40 yrs ago..lol). And, I sometimes envy my friends and family that still can and do. Of course, now, where I live, weed is as common and readily available as a cup of coffee (which, I also have no tolerance for ..lol.) So, for some mysterious reason, about 8 yrs. after I started smoking(thc), I could no longer tolerate. Funny how we change. Loving this podcast, Mike does. And, getting to know more about Kat has been a treat. Thanks & Blessings! 🙏🙏
I enjoyed this interview. Kat has such a nice sense of humor. I don't agree completely with everything she said but I am willing to listen to her and to others who have their own opinions.
Don't watch Fox too much, but enjoyed the Guttfeld show when I did, and Kat was one of my favorites, she's such a good sport about everything. My daughters are not religious either, I have confidence both Kat and my daughters will eventually be, everyone has their own time clock, God knows this, He is so gentle and patient, because He knows He is the One for all and He never pushes Himself on anyone, He doesn't want to win an argument, He wants your sincere love.
I don't watch a lot of news because of their "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality. And I didn't know who Kat Timpf was. After watching, this was great. She comes across well and I love her viewpoints and how honest she is. Think that I need to buy and read her book.
Kat’s got balls. She’s damn funny too. Oddly enough, I’ve never met a Kat I liked. Of course, I’ve never actually met Kat Timpf but she’s my hero. She’s been through a ton and seems unafraid to peel the scab back on anything and that’s rare in 2024. Great interview!
Great interview. I've read Ms. Timpf's stuff when she was a young "reporter" for National Review a few years ago. I love her sense of humor and her refusal to back down.
Kat I love your honesty and diversity ❤️ you speak with such joy and happiness to comedy ❤love Mike Rowe he's honest and a hotty. Kat congrats on your pregnancy and much love to you and your husband ❤❤
I’ve seen Kat on some Fox vids, but now I have a new appreciation for her. I wish Mike was going to run for office, but at least he’s giving people like this a platform.
As a proud Irish/ American born Patriot citizen. I can’t wait to get my hands on Kat Timpfs book! I hope I have the opportunity to have her sign my book!! Especially as I continue to recover from a near fatal massive stroke that literally put my life on pause for 3 minutes when I flatlined followed by a month long in a coma which lead me to being hospitalized for nearly 10 months. It definitely taught me how important it is how fragile our lives can be robbed from us in a minute. I’ve been through so much BS! As a 40 something American. I miss the America That I Grew Up In! I’ve always been a registered Independent. This country is barely surviving. I’m scared to what may come in the next few months. I think after all that I’ve been through. I will be voting for common sense. “Truth Really Upsets Most People” TRUMP! I hope it’s restored soon. Otherwise we will be screwed for the foreseeable future.
A person can make 2 types of choices. One is intelligent or wise choice, the other one is uneducated or ignorant one. Listening to Mike Rowe and hid ideas is 99.99999999% wise and intelligent choice. He delves into the moral compass and rightness to be the best person you can be.
I’m an independent and love watching Gutfeld show! I love Kat because she’s a great writer and very funny and isn’t scared to give her own opinion! They have great chemistry and all different kinds of guests and no one is ever told they can’t say what they want!
26 years in the military taught me one thing. Most people around the world want safety, security and to be left alone to raise their families.
George Carlin had it right . . . "Six people over their hate six people over here . . . Everyone else would rather be your neighbor"
Thank you for your service

@@2006gtobobI mean it is the number one late night show so they are doing something right 😅
Thank you for bringing common sense back into discussion!
Mike, I'm stealing this from a ground news reporter, Peter Santenello, who has a TH-cam video "They Ruined My Hometown" about Burlington, Vermont. At one point he discusses "destructive empathy," which is when you care deeply but do not consider the secondary, third, and forth-level consequences of your caring. To me, this concept explains a giant difference between the right and left, with the right digging into consequences but also rarely considering such deep empathy, and the left not acknowledging the subsequent results of their empathy.
Peter is great, love his channel! Thanks for sharing.😊❤
It was a pleasure meeting Miss Timpf for the first time. Thanks for this introduction!
This show just made me like Kat even more. Such a great mind.
I just love this chick. She is the definition of courage in this time of group think
There is something to the idea that judgment should be reserved for God.
Actually it is the only thing.
Sweet! I love Kat. So great to see her on your show. You guys are all awesome
Kat you are farR from arrogant. Love your books!
Relate too! Stay you, so many appreciate you for you. Thank you
This is now one of my favorite pod cast!!! I will have to watch it again. I so very much appreciate all the truth ❤
I’ve been watching Kat and always found her intriguing but could never really put my finger on what she was REALLY like. This is such a good conversation and has explained a lot for me. Great conversation Mike! Good luck to Kat and Cam on the start of their family. As her family grows the questions she still has will start to be answered.
I was amazed to find out that you sang opera. I love the many facets of people. We spend way too much time trying to be one dimensional. Human beings are not one dimensional. We are wonderfully complex and to expect less of one's self or others I believe to be delusional.
Also, for Ms. Timpf. Please, please do not aspire to be religious. So many terrible things are said and done in the name of religion. Rather, we should aim to be Christians, real Christians who try to model their lives after Christ when he was walking amongst us. And, listening to your wisdom and compassion, your heart is ready. It has been a joy to listen to this interview.
Thank you for letting me insert my opinions.
Great discussion of troops returning from war. When my husband and I both returned from deployments, we were grateful to have a partner who knew what we had each seen and done. When WWII troops returned, they took a ship which gave them weeks or months to decompress. Today’s troops are back in the civilian works the next day.
After living such a "structured" life of serving, how difficult was it to know what to do when you got back home to a "normal" life?
@@auntiedotal haha, that’s a great question. My husband and I are both very structured by nature, so we kept a routine at home of jobs, house work, and sleep. Even then, we struggled not to drink too much. The best part was going to sleep knowing that nobody would come in at midnight with a mission.
@@dorysmith2776 Y'all are very blessed to have each other. Always remember that! ❤️
And Welcome Home! We're glad you're here!
Absolutely love Kat she is so relatable , open minded and hysterical ❤
My first thought Mr Rowe when I found out you sang opera--I found that so interesting! That made me want to know more. Thank you for being the very few left with some common sense and something worthwhile to say!
I have always liked listening to Kat's viewpoint.
me too.
A nice surprise, two of my fav ppl together. A wonderful treat.
Just met Mike tonight such a kind hearted caring gentleman, Love him
Love Kat, great interview great to see her as just her. Very interesting, intelligent person. I'm going to have to order her book. 😊😊😊
Kat, Impressed with you and Mike Rowe's podcast conversation. Thanks for your honesty, I've always respected Mike and his causes.
Looking forward to learning more about your journey and who you are. You mentioned that you're not religious, yet I think you are very religious with your honesty (humbleness), charity, God given talents, your marriage relationship. You are a great example of Godliness. Just wait until you become a mother and you rediscover all your qualities all over again. Wishing you and yours all the best!
There is none that will fight more for peace than a Veteran because they know first
-hand the cost of war.
I know too many ex military
that have lost thier way and are in lockstep behind Muppet Millie.
I'm all in with Flynn
What a treat having Kat on. Thanks! Great guests lately and great questions.
Both Kat and Mike are awesome .... Couldn't agree more with her comments. I wish her and her husband were my neighbors.
So good Mike and Kat, she is delightful thank you 🙏🏼
These two souls are beautiful!!!! Very good interview!!!!!
I loved this interview with Kat and all the points she made. I will definitely check out her book and her tour schedule.
I have such heartwarming joy following your growth and your honest "you doing you!"
First time I’ve heard her talk seriously, enjoyed this😊
Kat I’m still not over Covid either. The over reach was outrageous. Completely agree with you on all of this!! I’m buying your book, love your opinions ❤
Loved the video. Kat is amazing. The difference between iron and steel is fire, and steel is worth it. Kat has been through the fire and is better for it. All the best for her in the future. Great talk, Mike Rowe!
I enjoyed Kat's performance on Fox's Gutfield show but never really thought about her. After watching this show with Mike Rowe I now have a much better understanding of her as a person and now I think she is great.
Im definitely with Kat & Mike about there not being enough help for veterans. But on the other hand, there isnt always a solution. Some people will experience war & it will fuck them up so badly, they will never be whole. Not every problem has a solution, but we still need to try
I've seen Kat on Fox News (mostly when Gutfeld had a night-time show - I've not watched Fox News, for approx. 8 year); and appreciated her personality & style of humor of humor. Listening to her on this podcast, she seems to be alot more "at home" (open/ non-performative, authentic, and I really like her. Am enjoying this. Btw: I also grew up in a "Very" Catholic family, Catholic school, all the rules, shame, guilt, etc. So, I had to walk away because I felt, staying in Catholicism, would make me hypocritical, and for me, at that time, that would be a greater evil; because I wanted to do things that broke rules, I couldn't reconcile , nor justify, within the faith. Know, as a mature, old woman, I am grateful for the Catholic teachings and the spiritual identity/knowledge that I inherited from it. I've always believed in the faith, I just had no way of understanding the "hierarchal structures", specifically: priests, whom (as a child & young teen) I found to be very arrogant and aloof/detached. It was unsettling and scary. And then, Vatican City, the "Pope", the entire political/"power structure", was all too much.
it took me up until the past cpl years to pray for acceptance, for understanding, and while I still am not 100% "there". I cherish the fact that my family & my ancestors, going back, only God knows how long, kept sacred, kept Catholicism as - highly important in their daily lives/family lives, and as the "Way" to follow Christ, God, etc. - our Christian Faith of Catholicism. I'm now at a place where I keep an attitude of gratitude, and view my religion as a very precious, rich inheritance. And, I leave the, "political & personalities", kinda "checked", within the structure of the Catholic Church's Operations. And, as for the teachings, faith, sacraments, observances, ... those I am now happy to follow, imperfectly. But, with a desire to grow closer to, always. And, am grateful & at peace with myself. I also realize that the part of me that expects perfection, is not helpful, nor is it necessary...and, it can and does cause me more anguish and has lead me to quitting vs. reminding myself that God loves me, He knows my heart, and I do better when I persist in maintaining a constant, conscious relationship with God, believing in myself in relationship with my faith, .. and accepting I will likely continue to develop a more unified communion with God, remembering that He is leading me, and that I'm not alone. And, understanding that imperfection or, "falling short" is not hypocrisy. Sorry for over-sharing. But, Kat's comment about faith, was/is relatable. BTW: "the weed IS too strong! Damn it" - I once loved smoking (weed/hash/honey oil), daily! And " IT really agreed with me" (this was 40 yrs ago..lol). And, I sometimes envy my friends and family that still can and do. Of course, now, where I live, weed is as common and readily available as a cup of coffee (which, I also have no tolerance for ..lol.) So, for some mysterious reason, about 8 yrs. after I started smoking(thc), I could no longer tolerate. Funny how we change.
Loving this podcast, Mike does. And, getting to know more about Kat has been a treat.
Thanks & Blessings! 🙏🙏
Thanks for writing. The process is what counts I think.
Based on this enjoyable conversation between two really neat people, I purchased Kat's book. Looking forward to reading it.
What an incredible interview with Kat.
I enjoyed this interview. Kat has such a nice sense of humor. I don't agree completely with everything she said but I am willing to listen to her and to others who have their own opinions.
Thank you Mike and kat
Don't watch Fox too much, but enjoyed the Guttfeld show when I did, and Kat was one of my favorites, she's such a good sport about everything. My daughters are not religious either, I have confidence both Kat and my daughters will eventually be, everyone has their own time clock, God knows this, He is so gentle and patient, because He knows He is the One for all and He never pushes Himself on anyone, He doesn't want to win an argument, He wants your sincere love.
I like Kat, She is entertaining and makes me laugh. I wish her the best in life !
Kar you’re awesome …we don’t have to agree on everything. Love your interviews Mike!!
Love Kat timpf!!! So glad to see her here!
Kat your one of my favorite people on the planet. Beautiful funny. Hard as nails also caring and lovable. Dig it.
I don't watch a lot of news because of their "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality. And I didn't know who Kat Timpf was. After watching, this was great. She comes across well and I love her viewpoints and how honest she is. Think that I need to buy and read her book.
Great Interview!! A real conversation covering current issues with a thoroughly independent woman. Loved every minute!
Kat’s got balls. She’s damn funny too. Oddly enough, I’ve never met a Kat I liked.
Of course, I’ve never actually met Kat Timpf but she’s my hero. She’s been through a ton and seems unafraid to peel the scab back on anything and that’s rare in 2024. Great interview!
Starting to become a weekend favorite activity. Thank you Mike and Kat!
Great interview. I've read Ms. Timpf's stuff when she was a young "reporter" for National Review a few years ago. I love her sense of humor and her refusal to back down.
A very refreshing talk . I think I understand her a lot better now . Hey Kat Happy Birthday coming up .
Kat I love your honesty and diversity ❤️ you speak with such joy and happiness to comedy ❤love Mike Rowe he's honest and a hotty. Kat congrats on your pregnancy and much love to you and your husband ❤❤
I am a mental health therapist. Grew up in a sawmill, but am all about fishing and writing. Do what u are good at.
He is making an amazing point.
You are both so genuine and refreshing!
I’ve seen Kat on some Fox vids, but now I have a new appreciation for her. I wish Mike was going to run for office, but at least he’s giving people like this a platform.
Kat you ok. Always a fan. Keep them babies rolling😊
Two of my favorite people on the same podcast, awesome.
Loved this book and I wish more people were like Katt, 😂😂😂😂
Can you please interview her husband he sounds great 👍🫡🇺🇲
Great interview! It’s fun seeing how excited Kat is talking about her husband.
As a proud Irish/ American born Patriot citizen. I can’t wait to get my hands on Kat Timpfs book! I hope I have the opportunity to have her sign my book!! Especially as I continue to recover from a near fatal massive stroke that literally put my life on pause for 3 minutes when I flatlined followed by a month long in a coma which lead me to being hospitalized for nearly 10 months.
It definitely taught me how important it is how fragile our lives can be robbed from us in a minute. I’ve been through so much BS! As a 40 something American. I miss the America That I Grew Up In! I’ve always been a registered Independent. This country is barely surviving. I’m scared to what may come in the next few months. I think after all that I’ve been through. I will be voting for common sense. “Truth Really Upsets Most People” TRUMP! I hope it’s restored soon. Otherwise we will be screwed for the foreseeable future.
The truth! If "they" cheat enough again. GOD HELP US ALL !
Glad you found some truth Mike.
Great time listening to you - thank you ❤
Love Kat 👍👍
Great to see Kat with Mike.
A person can make 2 types of choices. One is intelligent or wise choice, the other one is uneducated or ignorant one. Listening to Mike Rowe and hid ideas is 99.99999999% wise and intelligent choice. He delves into the moral compass and rightness to be the best person you can be.
Picking no side or taking no stance is in itself a stance.
I’m an independent and love watching Gutfeld show! I love Kat because she’s a great writer and very funny and isn’t scared to give her own opinion! They have great chemistry and all different kinds of guests and no one is ever told they can’t say what they want!
One hour six minutes in and the quip from Mike "The rapper?" was perfection...
Got both of her books yesterday. Should be interesting to hear her perspective.
