Anti-Government Protests! Iran’s "Sleeper" Leader, and the GOP’s Crisis
Dean Karayanis, columnist at the New York Sun and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, jumps into the week’s political chaos from the anti-government “No Kings” protests to Iran and the midterms. He challenges how labels are used to shape public perception, citing that protesters “were out there just defying the government” and noting the double standard in how similar actions are described depending on who’s involved.
Dean also unpacks the bizarre uncertainty surrounding Iran’s leadership, questioning why Western media treats the Ayatollah as alive despite no proof: “You can’t negotiate with a ghost.” He draws parallels to pop culture — from W...

Saint Robert Mueller, Suppose They Threw a Quagmire and Nobody Came?
In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, New York Sun columnist and Rush Limbaugh Show alum Dean Karayanis delivers a candid, no-holds-barred look at the intersection of military propaganda, political legacies, and the double standards of the American establishment.
Military Fact-Check: A deep dive into the viral IRGC footage claiming to show a downed American F-35. Featuring insights from combat veteran Ryan Bodenheimer (Max Afterburner), Dean explains why the "thermal" evidence is likely AI-generated and why Iran's PR machine is their only successful front.

Iran War, NATO’s Ghosting, and the Myth of "Moderate" Dictators
Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Derek Hunter. The show digs into the 2026 war with Iran, a critique of media "elites," and a reflection on the shifting tides of American foreign policy and cultural resilience. The New York Times’ skepticism regarding Israel’s "decapitation" strategy against Iranian leadership is debunked with historical parallels to the fall of the Nazi regime.
Dean pulls no punches on the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the "trust policies" of Fairfax County that he argues are endangering citizens, and the curious silence of the "Arab...

War in Iran, Reagan’s Legacy, the "Jolene Doctrine," and American Resolve
Dean Karayanis, Rush Limbaugh staffer and columnist at the New York Sun, delivers a fast-paced analysis of the ongoing conflict in Iran, contrasting current military actions with historical precedents. Despite media negativity and "Trump Derangement Syndrome," the Trump Administration's aggressive stance is a necessary victory against a regime that has threatened — and taken — American lives since the 1979 hostage crisis.
Key discussion points include:
The War in Iran: Touting military’s success, emphasizing that the U.S. has significantly degraded Iranian leadership and neutralized threats without suffering the high casualty rates seen in previous conflicts. Historical Comparisons: A dive into the 1983 invasi...

The Sinking of Iran’s IRIS Dena and the "Mysterious" Ayatollah
In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former Rush Limbaugh staffer, delivers a sharp-witted and historical analysis of the escalating conflict with Iran. Following the death of the previous Ayatollah, Dean mocks the appointment of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, by the "Council of Experts" — a puppet organization designed to maintain a hereditary dictatorship under the guise of an Islamic “Republic.” He targets Western media, like the New York Times, for "romanticizing" the new leader as a "man of mystery" rather than a standard fanatic.
