Chapter 1: What are Dave and Robbie's recent tour highlights?
What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I am Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein. We are back from our adventures in Louisville and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Real quick, before we start the show, thank you to everybody who came out.
It was packed shows, great audiences, both first time that me and Rob have done those clubs together, and it was just really great time. So I appreciate everybody for coming out. Next, we'll be in Key West.
this weekend ooh rob's gonna be in his speedo drinking a drink out of a coconut really living life how are you sir uh yeah come uh come party down with me in fort way uh wait we were just in fort wayne super shockingly good run still trying to relive those fort wayne days
but uh yeah come party down with key west i'll be sitting out at the beach titties hanging out margarita drinking let's do it let's do it i was just telling natalie before we started so i what my heat here as well you guys know this but the heat is broken in my studio
and i've got to have someone come fix it but so i got a space heater running in here and i forgot to turn it on today so i am freezing right now as i record that by power through this is very jordan game six with the flu type situation game five with the flow uh i'll power through but just as we're talking about key west has never sounded more appealing to me than right now in this moment i'm like yes
Let's go down there. Let's go see what's up in Key West. Okay, so we got a lot of stuff that I wanted to talk about today. And then we have Nicole Shanahan should be joining us at 2 p.m. So for the people watching on the website, we'll just stream the whole thing.
Not exactly sure how we're going to put it out, if we're going to do two separate episodes or all as one episode, but she'll be joining us for a few minutes later. Obviously, very interesting time to talk to her about her running mate who is currently going through the confirmation process. So we'll get into that stuff at the top of the hour. Look at me.
I sound like a real newsman at the top of the hour. Bobby Kennedy. See, man, I really sometimes I wish I was like a bit like if I had if I was born in like 1928 and I had like a present dad and I did my homework, I would have loved to be like an old time newsman.
you know like when you when you had to smoke cigarettes when it was like enforced you had to smoke a cigarette dirt you'd like sit over your typewriter with a cigarette and you'd be like yeah truman more like a bunch of dames out there anyway i think i would have been good for that Unfortunately, I was born during these crazy times, and so now this is the answer.

Chapter 2: How does Trump's tariff strategy affect the economy?
And it's like in the Bernie Sanders worldview, the only thing you're allowed to say about health is that the government should be paying for your medical treatment.
Yeah. Cheaper drugs, more drugs, cheaper drugs.
Government pays for them. Yeah. Yeah. And like, I don't know. I don't actually think the answer is like, okay, so we have, I mean, if you just take any one of the answers, it's like, so every, you know, I got a little boy now and he doesn't sit still for, I mean, he's young, he's only three, but he doesn't sit still. He's always all over the place.
And you're telling me in three years, if he doesn't sit still, I should put him on methamphetamines? No, I'm not going to do that. And I don't really care if you offer me cheaper meth. I still don't want to put him on that. I don't really care if I had to pay out of pocket or if the government's going to pay for it. That doesn't seem to be the issue to me.
The issue seems to be how sick are we as a society that we're medicating little kids? This is madness. And that we're never allowed to have this conversation is just even crazier.
Yeah. You know, Bernie did it again with RFK's confirmation. If you rewind about four months ago, he starts coming on the scene as being this pro-health, make America healthy again guy. And we even thought, I was like, oh, is Bernie joining our team? And it's like... There's a part of us that wants to believe that Bernie is actually the guy that we held him out to be in 2016.
And the reality is, is I think this is the final straw that broke the Bernie back. I think if anyone had any bit of hope at all that he was the guy that we once thought he was, that hope is gone. He did it. He baited us again. He said, OK, well, you know, yeah, we have this horrible health crisis in America. We've got to investigate it. And he baited us back in. He got the airtime.
Um, he got our community looking back at him and being like, are you going to step in and be a hero here? Um, and then as he baited people in, he then holds that conference, the vaccine safety conference, where he only brings in like folks like Offit and individuals who are maximalist vaccine, um, you know, toe the party line types. He doesn't bring in
Any of the, I mean, he could, at this point, you could throw a rock out your back door and hit someone who's been vaccine injured. I mean, that's how many people are affected. He could have brought in any one of those individuals to come and tell their story, but he doesn't. He's keeping that population silent. And we're giving up.
