105: Cart Coward, Corrupt Commute, Mamdani’s Mess & Mob Medicine

Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. This week on David & Stu Unhinged, David and Stu will discuss the outrageous and cowardly Trump retreat from the NATO Summit in Turkey, as well as some local New York stories about a corrupt police officer, Mamdani’s incompetence, and a mob family drama. Cart Coward: Trump was secretly moved from Air Force One after intelligence indicated a potential Iranian threat to his aircraft during his exit from the NATO Summit, while journalists and other personnel remained aboard the original plane, reportedly unaware that Trump had been transferred to a smaller military aircraft. This disgraceful episode shows the striking contrast between Trump’s carefully cultivated image of toughness and his private cowardice, which is another example of his moral failure as a man and president. Corrupt Commute: Jennifer Lackard, the former Deputy Police Commissioner of Mount Vernon, New York, went on a joy ride around town with her felonious husband and gang-banger son committing crimes. This tale further reminds us how Mount Vernon politics continues with rampant corruption and makes New York state a national punchline with its dysfunctional leadership. Mamdani’s Mess: Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax rollout has become a master class in government incompetence. Mamdani arrogantly pitched this as a bold plan to make the wealthy pay more taxes, yet he implemented it in a Trumpian manner, which caused a judge to temporarily block it in an embarrassing spectacle highlighting what ensues when NYC residents elected a neophyte socialist as Mayor. Mob Medicine: Carmine Agnello, grandson of John Gotti, claimed he wanted to donate a kidney to his mother, Victoria Gotti, who is reportedly battling end-stage renal cancer. A judge approved his request, but the surgery has not moved forward due to medical complications. We will explore this organized crime story, family loyalty, and whether the judge made the right call here. We hope you tune in, and please leave comments.
