    Paper Navies and Iron Warnings: The UK’s Weakness and Churchill’s Forgotten Prophecy

    In this Monday edition of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun and the Rush Limbaugh show delivers a blistering critique of the current state of Western defense, focusing on the decline of the British Royal Navy. He highlights the staggering reality that the UK’s fleet has dwindled to just 17 frigates and destroyers—fewer vessels than PepsiCo once technically owned — leaving Prime Minister Keir Starmer making "checks his mouth can't cash" in the Strait of Hormuz. The episode features rare, haunting 1934 audio of Winston Churchill warning a complacent Parliament about the rising threat of Nazi Germany— a message Karayanis applicable to today’s "axis of hatred" led by Iran. The discussion also covers: Trump’s AI Avatar: A look at how "scary good" AI voice tech is becoming as it reads President Trump’s latest broadsides against the Iranian blockade. The "Human" Politician: A breakdown of Senator Ruben Gallego’s attempt to distance himself from the Eric Swalwell scandal. Media Hypocrisy: Why Bill Maher is the "canary in the coal mine" for a Democratic Party that is turning toward radicalism and court-packing.

    Mining Minnesota, Swalwell Scandal, and Why Shatner Regrets Star Trek V

    Dean Karayanis steps back into the host chair to close out the week for Derek Hunter with a wide-ranging look at a world that seems to have forgotten its history. Dean breaks down the recent Senate vote on Minnesota mining, questioning why environmental groups invoke the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt while modern "colonizers" ignore the very regulations that keep America from becoming a Third World polluter. Later, Dean dives into his latest column for the New York Sun, comparing the Eric Swalwell "honeypot" scandal to the transparency of Alexander Hamilton — a man who was a "dirtbag" adulterer but not a crook. From the "rich friend" reality check for the UK and Italy to selective biblical pandering by the pope and politicians, Dean pulls no punches. Finally, the show wraps with a surprising lesson on humility and failure from an unexpected source: William Shatner. The irony of Chilean mining companies and Minnesota’s shifting cultural identity. The Hamilton Model: Why admitting to an affair is better than a political cover-up. Article 5 Reality: Why Europe’s "equal" status is a myth maintained by American muscle. The 2x4 Method: How the U.S. Navy is successfully choking off the Iranian economy. Shatner’s Regret: What Star Trek V teaches us about taking responsibility for our own "plastic spiders."

    1-1/2 Greeks: Iran, Leftists on the March, and Tax Day

    Dean Karayanis, columnist for the New York Sun, welcomes back his half-Greek writing partner from the Rush Limbaugh Show and former producer of The Drudge Report, George “Koko” Prayias for a fun look at the world’s serious issues. The episode debuts “One-and-a-Half Greeks” new theme song. It’s a little bit country, but the show is all Rock and Roll. The discussion covers the left’s embrace of Tax Day and hiking taxes on “the rich,” in the person of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Democrats used to stay quiet on this day because America was built on a tax rebellion, but they’ve changed the electorate and now it’s a holiday — even though Americans will work for the government this year from January 1 to April 26, projected as Tax-Freedom Day. The war in Iran illustrates another break with the past, as Senators Schumer, Gillibrand, and Fetterman all find themselves targeted by the ascendant antisemite, socialist wing of their party. Swalwell is an indication that they will take down anyone who gets in their way, aiming the same anger at old-school Democrats that they once reserved for Republicans. Even Pope Leo, who George — as a life-long Catholic — laments is a “Chicago Machine Pope,” has decided to go all-in on the global effort to halt Trump’s agenda and rein in America. That this puts them on the side of the terrorist regime in Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah doesn’t embarrass them. But at least the fiction that the groups aren’t all one in the same has been exposed by the ayatollahs’ own admission.

  7. Swalwell Isn't The Only One, Terrorist Apologists, and the Hormuz Blockade

    15. APR.

    Swalwell Isn't The Only One, Terrorist Apologists, and the Hormuz Blockade

    Dean Karayanis dives into the shifting media landscape and the latest political firestorms. Dean opens with a candid discussion on his approach to commentary: refusing to pander or condescend to readers and listeners with references because respecting the listener's intelligence is a lost art in modern commentary. The episode features a deep dive into the recent allegations against Eric Swalwell, critiquing the media's hesitant questioning compared to past Republican scandals. Dean also analyzes Nancy Pelosi’s defensive posture during interviews and the strategic errors Republicans make when Democrats are "destroying themselves." Dean breaks down the Strait of Hormuz blockade, the effectiveness of U.S. naval defenses against Chinese-supplied hypersonic missiles, and why the "comprehensive ceasefire" rhetoric from China and Iran falls short of reality. From the Frank Sesno-style of soft-ball journalism to the "frank anti-Semitism" of Hezbollah, this episode is a masterclass in connecting historical context to today's headlines. Dean also discusses a History Author Show interview from ten years ago with Nathan Stoltzfus, author of "Hitler’s Compromises: Coercion and Consensus in Nazi Germany," as a contrast to the Iranian regime and its proxies who are more in the Stalin mode of dictators.
