The Derek Hunter Podcast

Happy Thanksgiving

The left sees the military as pawns.

But you knew that already.

Hold on to your wallets, always...

Donald is going to mess with the Zohran

How many sexual predators do you think she has in her contact list? Lots?

They're such hypocrites.

It was bound to happen, some people view social media as real life...

Being a church doesn't make you correct all the time.

A short update from your regularly scheduled host.

New York Sun columnist Dean Karayanis welcomes back his long-time teammate on Rush Limbaugh’s highly overrated staff, George “Koko” Prayias. George urges Trump World to focus on the economy, because people aren’t feeling it — and the president’s style is to say everything is great. George also shares a story from his days producing The Drudge Report about meeting Jesse Jackson and uses it to cap a discussion on the hatred that’s being aimed at the right, but also the infiltration of conservative media by conmen (and women) who are only out to capture your clicks. Katherine “Katie” Couric pushes and prods John Fetterman to denounce Charlie Kirk, but he’ll have none of it. Plus, J.D. Vance starts doing the sort of teaching about how Covid-era spending, supercharged by Joe Biden, led to inflation — and that it can’t be cured overnight.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, fills in for Derek. Topics include playing "Who's your daddy?" with Nancy Pelosi (ew), Hakeem Jeffries doing his best impression of an old housecat, and John Stewart rages at Republicans for thinking they own the flag, patriotism, and Christianity while being blind to what Democrats have done to cement that impression in the public mind.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and Koko Jr. on the Rush Limbaugh Show, sits in for Derek. In response to a listener e-mail, we take a look back at President Obama's plans to "transition" people away from private insurance to illustrate that Obamacare is working exactly as designed to get the government's hands on your health. Plus, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent schools MSNBC on the non-bailout of Argentina, headlines of the day, and June Cleaver speaking Jive!

Dean Karayanis, sitting in for Derek, digs into his archives at the History Author Show to bring you the voices of men who served in World War II on Veterans Day 2025. First up is Captain Roger Boas who rolled with General George S. Patton’s 4th Armored Division and, at age 94 he published his memoir, “Battle Rattle: A Last Memoir of World War II.” Next is Lt. Jim Downing, author of “The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World of War,” written when he was 103. Finally, a clip of legendary character actor and D-Day veteran Charles Durning reading Lester Tenney’s story of the Bataan Death March and the atrocities he witnessed at the hands of Imperial Japan. Thank to all our veterans and to the families who support them.

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, sits in for Derek. Topics include Scott Bessant and George Stephanopoulos sparring over the filibuster, Senator Moreno calling out Senator Schumer on Obamacare subsidies for millionaires, and GOP messaging going forward. Plus, the take of the ghost toilet, and how Communist China uses counterfeit products to hurt productivity — illustrated by the 1991 film, “The Inner Circle,” on Joseph Stalin’s projectionist. The baseball great Darryl Strawberry’s pardon by President Trump rounds out the show.

These people always insist MAGA is a cult.

They just need to make Democrats actually do one.

Let the suffering begin.

If your state is voting, go vote!

Don't be stupid in the first place and you don't have to try to make up for it.

Don't do stupid things and don't defend them either

It does nothing but grow...

We won, they lost.

Get out of its way and let it go...

They're coming for their food stamps or your stuff.

But then, when is it?

Like acid reflux, the gas ball comes back.

Not good people.

There's a sucker born every minute, don't be a newborn.

And they eat their own.

Bigotry is at the heart of who they are.

They crave it

Democrats, it's who they are.

It's always fun to mess with morons...

Whether he wins it or not.

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.
