While criticizing the Raise the Wage Act bill, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade said people could get two jobs instead of the $15 minimum wage.On Jan. 26, 2021, Democrats reintroduced the Raise the Wage Act bill in House and Senate to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. The legislation would hike the pay floor to $15 an hour nationwide by 2025, then tie future increases to halfway wage growth. The bill would also prevent the payment that could be less than the minimum wage for workers, along with disabled people.

Fox News has been criticizing a minimum wage increase since the time it was proposed. After Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressional Democrats announced a $15 minimum wage bill on Jan. 27, 2020, Fox & Friends show hosts Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt held a talk about the bill.

Brian criticized the attempts to increase the federal minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 an hour for about a decade. Brian supported paying staff $7.25. He says that what a person could do is work their way up on the present wage. He continued saying that in the meantime, an individual could do what everybody else has done in the past. They can get another job to supplement as they are working, even if it means going to school at night, the businesses should not be ruined to get votes from people. He even says that as the economy grows, the wages moved up naturally, in reply to Ainsley, who had commented that it had been a long time since there was an increase, and four years is not a long time to double the wages.
