The Derek Hunter Podcast

Peace or pause, and does it matter?

It would be nice if people focused more on their jobs than their image.

They are pretty sick.

Dean Karayanis, columnist at the New York Sun and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, sits in for Derek. Topics include the silence over President Trump forcing Hamas to agree to his cease-fire plan with Israel, John Bolton deciding the one way he doesn't want to use military force is to stop drug cartels, pampered Hollywood celebrities raging against leaf blowers, Tim Russ's leftist necromancy in favor of ANTIFA, who's a real populist, John Kasich deciding that prosecuting people who broke the law isn't allowed and forgetting that Democrats waged warfare against their opponents for years — and obscure, entertaining references aplenty!

They screwed themselves into a corner.

Just Ignore The Shutdown, Mr. President. by Derek Hunter

It's getting difficult to care.

They could only pretend to care for so long, their hate has boiled over again.

Only thing liberals hate more than Comey is Trump.

The gym is genocide!

It's the only thing they inspire these days.

They're not stupid, they're evil. There's a big, important difference.

Totalitarians aren't what they used to be.

They deserve it.

To hell with him.

Little Jimmy learns about the concept of consequences...

I fear for him.

DoJ, do not screw this up.

Leftists are shocked to be held accountable for the first time in their lives

A Party of Sociopaths 2 by Derek Hunter

Democrats have to deal with the evil they've created.

Dean Karayanis, sitting in for Derek Hunter, reflects on the murder of Charlie Kirk. The pundit class, despite this attack on one of our own, isn't seeing this as an attack on free speech or democracy. But it is. Regardless of the motivation, whenever someone who speaks out is slain, it's imperative that everyone condemn it. Instead, you have some Democrats and MSNBC commentators both-sidesing this, blaming the victim. The left ought to speak to its own base and the right to theirs. That, more than generalized statements of condemnation, will show that America is united in rejecting violence as a political tool. Also, a clip of the first time audiences heard Charlie Chaplin speak. His uplifting speech in "The Great Dictator" was a call to our common humanity and a call for us to fight for liberty, that is worth hearing at this moment.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun and the Rush Limbaugh Show sits in for Derek. Topics include Israel disproving the notion that killing terrorists "just creates more terrorists" by wiping out the Hamas leadership and the "lazy" Germans turning against Coca-Cola because they don't like the nation that protects them. The partisans who inject race into everything Charlotte murder is suddenly decide race shouldn't be talked about in the Charlotte murder. Plus, CNN reports gossip about a discussion between Secretary of the Treasury Bessent in a "MAGA nightclub" and tries to turn it into a scandal.

The Atlantic asks, “What's the Point of a HS Reunion?” President Trump declares “the woke agenda is practically gone,” but the left is never going to be defeated. Senator Tammy Duckworth tries, yet again, to bait Trump – and he resists, showing growth. MSNBC's Tim O'Brien and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suddenly pretend the left cares about democracy. Norway's socialists promised their wealth tax would collect $54 billion from the ultra-rich. Instead, revenues plunged $594 million – a net decrease of $448 million.

After an update from Derek, Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun and Rush Limbaugh Show updates you on the weekend's news. A case of mistaken identity for Phillies Karen reminds us of a lesson in “The Dead Poets Society.” The Democrats' religions test as Senator Tim Kaine declares thinking inalienable rights come from God is an “extremely troubling” idea. The shadowy Professor Mifsud, a key player in the Russia probe who disappeared seven years ago. JB Pritzker says he has moles inside the White House and Chris Christie savages RFK Jr. Senator Rand Paul takes on J.D. Vance in defense of the Venezuelan drug runners blown up by the U.S. Navy. Finally, a word on “The Savant,” the hilarious “Karen power fantasy” from Apple TV that's launched a thousand memes before it even airs.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun welcomes back Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and Drudge Report veteran George Prayias back to the show. Together they discuss Senator Tim Kaine's ignorance of the Declaration of Independence and Senator Ted Cruz's defense. Plus, college students mocking left-wingers with "performative man" bits and why using the military against enemies from drug dealers to terrorists is worth a try.

Dean Karayanis, columnist at the New York Sun and Rush Limbaugh Show veteran sits in for Derek. Topics include the left wishing President Trump dead to solve their problems, Senator Dick Durbin imagining crazy motives behind the president cracking down on crime, Mamdani planning to trap more people in the government cage with an untenable rent freeze, and the legendary Ricardo Montalban talking about his confrontation with militant Chicanos who were threatening to kill him over advocating for Mexican actors even though the activism got him blacklisted by Hollywood.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun fills in for Derek. Topics include JB Pritzker and other Democrats on the losing side of denying crime rather than work with President Trump to solve it, Woody Allen on the joy of directing Trump, an illustrative story on the press lamenting that gravediggers were suffering as the Iraq War wound down, Trump Chicken, and more.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun fills in for Derek. Topics include the rest of the story behind the New York Times piece alleging that Black women are hardest hit by President Trump shrinking the federal workforce, John Turturro's very big performance in a small role in the Big Lebowski, Emma Watson inventing new terms for being single, and President Trump's push for transparency from Pfizer over the Covid-19 vaccine produced by Operation Warp Speed.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun and the Rush Limbaugh Show sits in for Derek as he deals with the prospect of losing is beloved cat, Veruca. On the docket today is a hilarious Vanity Fair story about rich lefties in the Hamptons facing the prospect of having to follow the law on immigration, the strangest text Derek ever sent, Communist Party USA voter and ex-CIA director John Brennan finally facing consequences, and how Popeye's chicken got its name.

Dean Karayanis of the Rush Limbaugh Show and the New York Sun sits in for Derek to groove you into the weekend. A look at the Democrats bungling their response to President Trump's crime initiatives and a New York Daily News hit piece on the legendary Gloria Gaynor for daring to support conservative candidates. Plus, a preview of Dean's Substack, "Postcards from the Shed," looks at the legacy of "Young Frankenstein," the "walk this way" bit's origin, how it saved Aerosmith and helped bring rap into the mainstream when Run-DMC covered the song in 1986. It's an enduring lesson for Hollywood and creative people everywhere.

Sucks

Unbelievable, but totally believable.

In case you forgot how awful they are.

And he really loves fatty, high calorie foods.

Hint: It is not you.

What one thing doesn't matter, just anything. But he sucks so bad.

But what else is new?

What's next and why it matters.

A total pain in the...mouth.

And it's hurting them with the public.

I get them, a lot of them, I don't really have a good answer.

No wonder Democrats hate him.

Trump becomes Batman.

Regular Order tomorrow and Thank You Dean! by Derek Hunter

It's Open Line Friday! New York Sun columnist Dean Karayanis talks Russiagate, the death of the media monopoly, and more with his his Rush Limbaugh Show writing partner, George Prayias. Also a veteran of Fox News Channel, George (known to Rush Limbaugh the TV Show viewers as Koko the signing gorilla), was producer of The Drudge Report show. He digs into how Drudge, Rush, and the Internet have changed how information is shared, while making a strong case for the GOP to resist its inclination to let those who perpetrated the Russia Hoax off the hook.

New York Sun columnist and History Author Show host Dean Karayanis subs for Derek and covers the big stories in the news, making the case for investigating the Russia hoax, the crocodile tears over redistricting, and Paul Ryan emerging to criticize President Trump's tariffs.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun and the History Author Show sits in for Derek, applying the logic of America's past wars to Hamas. Plus, Jim Acosta does a ghoulish interview, "interviewing" an AI version of a student killed at Parkland High to push for gun control from beyond the grave — and President Trump gives Democrats a political gift by firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun — former member of Rush Limbaugh's “highly overrated staff” and host of the History Author Show — sits in for Derek Hunter. A look back at the history of gerrymandering and why Democrats are on the back foot as Republicans prepare to redistrict to gain House seats in Texas. Tariffs and TACO. CNN looks are reality and declares President Trump the most influential president since FDR, but legislation endures more than executive orders.

Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun, History Author Show, and the Rush Limbaugh Program steps in for Derek. The countdown to Sydney Sweeney addressing the 2028 GOP convention begins as she's reported to be a registered Republican and a video of her at the shooting range (nice grouping) spreads. Chuck Schumer's popularity plummets as he looses his ability to message. President Trump fires a Biden appointee after losing confidence in her jobs numbers, exercising a power of his office... and it's called scandalous!

When your enemy is punching themselves in the face...let them.
