And it's delivered right to your door, so you don't have to go out to like a gas station to find them. Best of all, it's the best price you're ever going to find, $60 for a kilo, only at YoCratom.com. All right, let's start the show. What's up? 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. How are you today, sir?
What are Dave and Robbie's thoughts on the current weather and travel plans?
I'm doing all right. How are you, Mr. Smith? Doing good. I've been enjoying this nice weather we've had yesterday and today. For people who don't live where there's seasons, if you live in one of these areas where it's warm year-round, sure. you don't have to suffer through the three months of brutal misery that we do, but there is something about when it cracks and you get those first nice days, that's just magical. Like if this was, if it was 55 degrees in the middle of, of summer, you'd be like, Oh, it's freezing today, but man, when it's 55 degrees coming off, being cooped up inside and you're just outside in the sun, it's the best. That's myself.
Especially after all this travel.
Yes, yes. Agreed. And we'll be traveling more soon. Going to Boston next, everybody. ComicDaveSmith.com for those ticket links. Boston, Massachusetts, one of our favorite comedy towns. We're coming back there. And you got some dates on your own. Is that right, Rob?
I've got a... Iowa for some state convention. And then I've got a steamboat, Colorado. You come out, you come ski with me. There's always fun shows with Kyle rough. And then other than that, trying to put porch story together, you can email me your porches at Rob's newsroom at gmail.com. And then I got some cool run your mouths going on this week, including guest professor, David column, which is always fun.
Oh, OK. Yeah, that's a good one. I love that guy. OK, so let's let's get into it. A major, very interesting kind of dynamic and divide that is developing on within, I guess, broadly speaking, the MAGA coalition.
Why did Donald Trump and Thomas Massey have a falling out?
donald it it does seem to me to really be evidence of of an area where donald trump has not learned the lessons that he needs to learn but whatever we can get into that in a second of course i am talking about the the feud between donald trump and thomas massey So Thomas Massey, of course, for a little bit of background on this, Thomas Massey and Donald Trump really had a pretty bad falling out in 2020 when Thomas Massey was the only member of Congress who was standing up to the fiscal insanity of the year 2020, which is, of course, terrible. By the way, he was totally vindicated on. But he was insisting that it was crazy to spend these. It was like these $2 trillion spending bills in the middle of COVID. He was saying the whole thing is nuts. The lockdowns are nuts. These spending bills are nuts. It's going to destroy the dollar, result in inflation. Ended up looking pretty good in hindsight, pretty solid prediction. And for this, for being the best member of Congress, Donald Trump smeared him, sent his supporters to attack him.
Essentially, the same thing is happening again. The Congress is trying to jam through another insane spending bill that will increase the debt, increase the deficit. And Thomas Massey was one of the few voices saying no. And Donald Trump flipped out on him. I think that this is... But on so like on on the policy of it, Donald Trump is dead wrong. And this is he's just it's terrible. And then I think on the politics of it, I think it's also terrible. So just just a really horrible move by Donald Trump. And he's splitting his own base. Maybe I'm not saying splitting right down the middle. Obviously, Donald Trump is the most popular Republican figure in the country.
