Welcome to episode thirty-six of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) Lee Zeldin's mismanagement of the EPA and his plans to restate the agency's mission to further the interests of polluters.

2) The bizarre antics of the parasitic, autistic migrant Elon Musk and how his polarizing behavior and dishonesty undermine any legitimate efforts to make the federal government more efficient, and Trump's demeaning of the presidency by hawking Teslas, a poorly made car, in front of the White House.

3) The use of masks at protests where students and others are harassed as a means to cover the identity of the perpetrators and how New York is considering laws to prohibit such behavior.

4) How the banning of DEI by Trump is being used by his acolytes to silence dissenters in the tradition of Stalin and Hitler.

5) The strange case where, at a track and field competition, an athlete was hit by a baton-wielding participant and how criminal charges are now being considered.

Welcome to episode thirty-five of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) On March 8, 2009, Pamela R. Champine, David's wife, passed away from breast cancer after over a six-year battle. On the 16th anniversary of her death, David discusses her legacy and the courage and determination she demonstrated throughout her life;

2) A discussion of Trump's disgraceful firing of General Charles Brown and how he tarnished a distinguished career that included 30 years of service to our country.

3) Our craven Vice President's latest antics, including trashing British and French troops who fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq in his effort to curry favor with Trump even though earlier he referred to him as "America's Hitler." JD not only looks like a piglet, his latest lap dog like behavior indicates how wholly unqualified he is to be in higher office.

1) Stu recounts his time on the golf course in Florida, where he observed different species of birds that he found fascinating in an attempt to add some hopefulness to the dark times we are experiencing;

2) A discussion of Pete's Hegseth's disastrous trip overseas, where he gave away key negotiation points to Putin about Ukraine before the negotiations even started and Trump's doubling down on Hegseth's mess along with a litany of fabrications about the conflict;

3) Elon Musk's bizarre drug-fueled rampage at a conservative conference wielding a chainsaw and his even stranger performance in the Oval Office with his four-year-old son who picked his nose publicly and how, despite his intellectual gifts, he is nothing but an idiot savant who is not qualified to reorganize the federal government; and

4) Stu's encounter with three young people starting their careers and his appreciation of their youthful exuberance, while David speculates that their hopes and dreams will be shattered as time goes on, just like everyone else.

Welcome to episode thirty-three of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) The good news is that Daniel Penny, a hero who saved subway riders from violence and who was unfairly prosecuted by Manhattan DA Bragg, found a job and the start of a career;

2) Trump's preposterous proposal to turn Gaza into a US-operated resort called the Gaza Riviera and how his supporters seem to think every absurd pronouncement he makes is an act of genius, including his imperialist impulses to rename things like the Gulf of Mexico; and

3) How Elon Musk's team at DOGE is staffed with 19-25-year-olds with no government experience yet given access to sensitive national security information, the troubling conflicts of interest, the plethora of court rulings blocking this insane overreach, and the hapless Democrat opposition. We also discuss how the new US Attorney in DC, Ed Martin, plans to prosecute anyone who impedes DOGE, yet that's not even a crime.

Welcome to episode thirty-two of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) Stu's encounter with a young lady on the subway on her way to school clipping her nails but redeeming herself by not littering;

2) Kathy Hochul's reparation committee and the outrageousness of making any such payments when slavery ended 150 years ago and the victims of which are long dead;

3) Albany liberals refused to reform NY's criminal justice reform laws even when asked to do so by state district attorneys, including the pro-criminal Manhattan DA, fat Alvin Bragg.

4) NYU-Langone Medical Center's refusal to perform gender-affirming surgery on minors due to Trump's executive order, which threatens to pull funding of providers performing such procedures; and

5) Trump's dangerous decision to allow Elon Musk access to US Treasury payment systems could potentially jeopardize our national security and finances since Musk has no legal authority to assume this role or much oversight.

Welcome to episode thirty-one of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) How Trump blamed DEI for the tragic plane crash in DC when, in truth, Elon Musk forced the former head of the FAA out on inauguration day, and there was no acting director in place because the FAA had fined Musk's company, SpaceX. We can't understand why Trump would be ceding his presidential duties to Musk and worry that when they fall out, there will be no telling which government Musk will try to run next.

2) The petty act of removing General Milley's portrait from the Pentagon and stripping him of his security detail and how this wasn't the behavior we expect from the President of the United States;

3) Caroline Kennedy's scathing condemnation of RFK Jr. and his disastrous performance at his Senate confirmation hearings, where he lied about his stance on vaccines and displayed disturbing ignorance about Medicaid, a program he would be responsible for managing as Secretary of HHS;

4) The shocking cast of characters Trump has filled the EPA with, including one official who fought for the use of asbestos.

5) The completely embarrassing executive order and OMB memo freezing spending, which caused Medicaid portals to shut down in all 50 states, disrupting health care delivery, and the backtracking that occurred when the memo had to be rescinded, yet his press secretary insisted the freeze was still in place.

Welcome to episode thirty of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) A summary of Trump's inauguration, including his mean-spirited address, Melania's ridiculous hat, the slew of executive orders, many of which are already being challenged in court, and the Democrat's hypocritical and hapless attacks on cabinet nominees, most notably Pete Hegseth;

2) A discussion of Trump's disgraceful pardons of the violent Jan. 6 rioters as well as Biden's pardon of his family, the members of the Jan. 6 Committee, Dr. Fauci, and other controversial selections; and

3) Professor Laurie Wax's lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania for violating her free speech rights and how it was hypocritical for Penn to discipline her no matter how offensive her statements may have been, notably since Penn's former President, Liz Magill, testified before Congress claiming that whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Penn's policies depended on the context.

Flop & the Power of Private Philanthropy

1) An update on the tragic LA Fires, how Mayor Karen Bass flagrantly broke her promise not to engage in foreign travel, and her praise of Fidel Castro as a "champion of social justice."

2) Stu recounts what he encounters as he strolls NYC streets, including a plaque commemorating Union soldiers.

3) Kathy Hochul's outrageous flip-flop on congestion pricing and how it is merely another tax on the working class that will be used to subsidize the losses from fare evasion that the Democrats won't prosecute or punish.

4) Eugene Lang's private philanthropy and how he helped underserved communities obtain higher education.
