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

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.
Okay, there's a few major stories that are going on. I thought maybe we'd start with this. A lot of the stories are pretty important, so I'm not even ranking what's the biggest one, but I did find this very interesting on the topic of tariffs. Was Donald Trump pausing the tariffs, he said, for another month with Mexico after he was able to kind of extract, this agreement from the Mexican government to put, I believe it was 10,000 troops on the border. This is an interesting area to me. Obviously, we are free market libertarian types. We do not like tariffs. Tariffs are just another form of taxation, and they are they are destructive for the economy um they're destructive both for the country that's being tariffed but they are more destructive for the country leveling the tariffs um and so anyway it's just an interesting conversation because you have a dynamic here where
tariffs were being threatened are now being pulled back and you're getting something that I would see as a pretty big positive out of the threat of tariffs. So again, let me read the Trump tweet and then Rob, you could give your thoughts and I'll give my thoughts. Okay, so this is what Donald Trump posted. He said, I just spoke with President Claudia Schoenbaum of Mexico. I know I'm saying that all wrong. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican soldiers on the border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into our country.
