Lots of frauds out there, everywhere.

A Tale Of Two Liberal Gay Guys by Derek Hunter

Dean Karayanis, former member of Rush Limbaugh's “highly overrated staff,” previews his New York Sun column on leftist streamer, Hasan Piker, declaring himself the “Zoomer” version of radio's greatest of all time. Reactions from Rush's wife, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, and David Limbaugh flesh out an angle that's beyond the expected. You can find the piece at NYSun.com.

But they never get out of the way for them, which is odd.

If you aren't like him, you do not matter.

The lie serves Democrats, the truth does not.

This is no joking matter.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, addresses topics: Obama's precedent for banning the media — as in Fox News — unfounded panic over artificial intelligence, and the state of the economy/government institutions. President Donald Trump is restricting access for MSNOW and CNN from White House press briefings, with President Barack Obama asking what would happen if he did the same thing as if he didn't do the same and worse.

A lot of people are making a lot of money, which is all they really care about.

Hot chick? Nope. Anti-Semite rapper? Yep!

And other universal truths.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, takes the helm to discuss national security, free speech, and media coverage following the anniversary of 9/11. Dean analyzes the media's framing of recent news events like President Trump backing a united Ireland and $5,000 “dividend” checks to draw public attention, highlights the importance of individual influence in preserving constitutional freedoms, and reflects on Rush Limbaugh's post-9/11 message regarding civil liberties. The episode also touches on international relations, political strategy, and guest-hosting WMAL's afternoon drivetime today.

Never, ever forget.

I can't defend either, so I won't try.

These people are morons.

And they aren't going to stop, ever.

In this Labor Day edition of the Derek Hunter Podcast, Dean Karayanis — columnist for the New York Sun and longtime Rush Limbaugh staffer — reflects on effective persuasion, advocating for lighthearted mockery over anger when addressing detractors like Canada, enemies like Iran, and the useful idiots who buy their warmed versions of reality. The episode tackles topics including Iranian regime posturing, trade tensions and rhetoric from Canadian leadership, German commentary on American society, and historical reflections on the controversial, divisive Gloria Steinem and Margaret Sanger, the racist eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood. The show concludes with a reflection on the upcoming 25th anniversary of 9/11, highlighting Dean's History Author Show interviews with an author, Jessica DuLong, who wrote about the spontaneous Dunkirk-style boat lift that saved half a million people from the Battery in Manhattan. Her book is, “Saved at the Seawall: Stories from the September 11 Boat Lift.” Plus, Dean plays a clip from the former New York governor, George Pataki, on his book, “Beyond the Great Divide: How A Nation Became A Neighborhood.” Both conversations are available at HistoryAuthor.com or at YouTube.com/@historyauthorshowPreserving American history and civic memory are of crucial importance, and it rests on all of us as citizens to ensure that the true story of that dark day isn't erased.

The world is ill-served by what we have now.

Dale Carnegie would not approve.

Truly bad people.

They are worse than you think.

The truth does Democrats zero favors.

Follow the money!

Rest in peace, Ms Parton.

There isn't an evil degenerate they won't embrace.

Dean breaks down historical context regarding health exemptions, addresses ignoring the legitimate heroism of President George H.W. Bush and Senator Bob Dole in World War II, and the attacks on National Guardsmen President George W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle as “weekend warriors,” while praising Democrats with similar service — all because Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) likes to wrap himself in the flag. This frustration contributed to the rise of Donald Trump. Dean also examines media bias in news aggregators like Apple and Google before diving into a commentary on modern "safetyism," arguing that overprotecting children from physical and emotional risks does more harm than good.

Which does he love more, socialism or cash?

One person sure thinks so.

We shall see.

I don't even know what to say about it all.

They've innovative in the nuts

The ego has landed.

The loser, ultimately, is America.

If they're women, why do "Trans Women" need to be protected?

Dean breaks down the mainstream coverage surrounding Gaza beekeepers to spin for Hamas and discusses Pedro “Dirty” Sánchez's border policies in Spain, highlighting the stark double standards in migrant, decolonizing, and who gets to keep their stolen land. Turning to domestic policy, he examines President Trump's recent remarks on commercial trucking and English-language requirements for driver safety. Finally, Dean reacts to Senator Angela Alsobrooks' statement that RFK Jr should be held in contempt just because Republicans want to charge Mr. Anthony Fauci with that crime. Also, the power of branding in politics, as Hunter Biden tries to hold President Trump to a higher standard for imagined sleepiness that his father, President Joe Biden, was held to for the infirmities that were laid bare in the 2024 presidential debate.

No party has a monopoly on stupid.

Josh Hawley absolutely destroyed him.

Birds of a feather...

The truth always comes one eventually.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh's highly over-rated staff, hosts, opening with some programing news: He'll be stepping the captain's chair to guest host The Chris Plante Show across 130+ radio stations this Wednesday. Dean rolls and analyzes some select clips President Trump's unfiltered, Mar-a-Lago redo of the White House Correspondents' Dinner — from sharp zingers aimed at Gavin Newsom, Ilhan Omar, and Caitlin Collins, to the media's complete inability to get the joke about him running for a fourth term. The speech was a little sloppy, but foreshadows that the president plans to let lose in his final two years as he has nothing to loose .Plus, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent puts Senator Ron Wyden in his place, Elon Musk calling out the press for their “mistakes,” and why audience trust in journalism continues to hit record lows.

Something for everyone to hate.
