America’s current economic conditions aren’t just detrimental to the country. According to Mike Rowe, they’re a risk to its national security.

Rowe is the host of the Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs” and Fox Business Network’s “How America Works.” He’s also the founder of mikeroweWORKS Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes and helps those in need obtain skill-based jobs.

Speaking on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday, Rowe was asked by host Tucker Carlson to address the nation’s low labor force participation rate.
