Show notes

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, takes the helm of the Derek Hunter Podcast, bringing his signature historical perspective to the chaos of modern politics. From the "shoot-to-kill" raid on Mar-a-Lago to the selective morality surrounding Joe Biden’s classified documents, Dean breaks down why the "will of the people" is often a hollow excuse for undermining the Constitution. Plus, a look at the "Crusader" ambition of Congresswomen Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, the rising fury of the "Essex Man" in Britain, and a masterclass from Milton Friedman on why inflation is a hidden tax you never voted for but always pay. Selective Transparency: A deep dive into the DOJ's efforts to block the release of Joe Biden’s audio tapes and the stark contrast in how the media and government treat document scandals depending on the last name of the politician involved. The "Parchment Guarantee": Using the wisdom of Justice Antonin Scalia, Dean explains why a "living, breathing Constitution" is a threat to liberty and why the judiciary must remain insulated from the "will of the people." AOC vs. The Establishment: An analysis of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent interview with David Axelrod, exploring her "Crusader" mindset and why Republicans fail when they underestimate her political connectivity. The "Essex Man" and Global Populism: A cautionary tale from the UK, where hardworking citizens are abandoned by both parties in favor of open borders and "colonization," leading to a surge in support for Nigel Farage. Inflation 101: Vintage clips from Milton Friedman explain the "hangover" of government spending. Dean argues that inflation isn't caused by unions or oil sheiks—it’s made in Washington.

"Animal Farm" Shills, a Nazi in Maine, and Not Being Just Another Brick in the Wall May 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun pulls no punches while dissecting the anti-capitalist “Animal Farm,” a bastardization of George Orwell’s novella, that’s being distributed by Angel Studios — which billed itself as a “values-based” organization — and the conservative commentators who did paid endorsements. Dean contrasts the unwavering integrity of Rush Limbaugh with a new generation of media figures he accuses of "capturing a dime" at their audience's expense. From the "weaponization" of Canadian politics and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Ramstein Air Force Base to a scathing critique of Angel Studios, Dean explores how the dilution of language and the monetization of anger are reshaping the political landscape. Plus, identity politics — from The View to NASA — is a "brick in the wall" strategy designed to stifle individual potential, and the Nazi running for Senate as a Democrat in Maine ought to be handled without snide jokes that make Graham Platner seem humorous.
