David & Stu…Unhinged!

Hosted ByDavid & Stu

“David & Stu . . . Unhinged!” offers a unique glimpse into the world's most pressing (and
most trivial) issues through the eyes of two of Greenwich Village’s jaded residents, who are
usually pissed off about something. From allowing people to legally sh** on our sidewalks to
"discrimination" against fat people, David Simonetti, a writer and attorney, and Stu Richel, a
critically acclaimed actor, screenwriter, and Vietnam War vet, offer an acerbic yet civilized
perspective on politics and life in New York City. Occasionally veering into the abyss of rage, like
Stu's unbridled contempt for Jane Fonda and David's rage about those who ask for ice cream
samples, the duo from two different generations will enchant you with their common-sense
reactions speckled with off-the-rails humor, anger, and dismay.

31: Disgrace at the Pentagon, Trump’s Surrender to Musk, Not So Sweet Caroline, EPA Antics, & the Spending Freeze Debacle

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shut down in all 50 states, disrupting health care delivery, and the backtracking that occurred when the memo had to be rescinded, yet his press secretary insisted the freeze was still in place.
