Odyssey, Hypocrisy, James Comey, & AOC's Threat to Free Speech
3d ago00:58:29Tap to summarizeDean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, broadcasts straight from the writing shed to break down the media's relentless narrative control, the assault on free speech standards, and why the erasure of historical truth matters in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Dean will be guest-hosting for Derek at WMAL on Friday, May 22nd. Dean exposes the mainstream media's predictable meltdown over a clip of President Donald Trump talking about White House ballroom budgets, pointing out how journalists manipulate language to manufacture "all-caps EXPLOSIONS." He then dives into the brewing cultural controversy surrounding Hollywood's new adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey.” Reacting to comments from The View’s Sunny Hostin and actor John Leguizamo, Dean delivers a powerful defense of Greek history and culture. As a person of Greek ancestry, he takes aim at the hypocrisy of "cultural appropriation" rules, detailing the historical trauma of the Greek genocide and explaining why Hollywood's double standards insult true minority populations. Later in the program, Dean addresses the dangerous trend of government-backed censorship, sounding the alarm on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (AOC) calls to "rein in" the media environment and weaponize the FCC. He draws parallels to George Orwell's “1984,” highlighting how figures like former FBI Director James Comey celebrate using the legal process as a punishment against political enemies. Finally, Dean honors actress Gina Carano for winning her free speech battle against Disney and calls on conservatives to defend the U.S. Constitution as the ultimate bulwark against modern-day despots.

1w ago00:58:23Tap to summarizeDean 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.
