Show Notes

Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh's "highly overrated staff," sits in for his final show before Derek returns on Monday, January 5th. Topics include Mayor Mamdani choosing a subway station in New York City that was built by private enterprise to kick of his government-first agenda, the people of Iran striking and protesting against the dictatorship, how the America250 "United States Semisesquicentennial" may evolve into a catcher term, and Judd Apatow reflecting how Hollywood refuses to accept it's failures; it's easier to blame their usual right-wing bogeymen instead. A clip from Bill Murray's critically panned "The Razor's Edge" shows that artists ought to have the freedom to try new things, but respect the audience's verdict. Plus, words from Baroness Margaret Thatcher encouraging us all to reach for our destiny in 2026.
