  Teach-fluencers? Really?

  Aug 18, 202626 min

  Guest host Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and fill-in for Derek on WMAL this week, tackles modern cultural absurdities, media bias, and political rhetoric looking at the rise of the self-proclaimed "teach-fluencer" trends in public classrooms and the push for internet clout over real influence. Plus, Joe Scarborough’s on Senator John Ossoff, contrasting how the mainstream press handles Democratic controversies versus Republican headlines. Finally, a journalist pushes back on a Democratic House candidate’s false claims of a genocide in Gaza, earning praise for not letting her guest reduce a horrific crime into just another insult.

  The Constitution, Electoral College & Identity Politics

  Aug 17, 202632 min

  Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh’s “highly overrated staff,” takes over The Derek Hunter Podcast, diving into hot-and-spicy political debates and cultural issues: Constitutional Debates & Kentucky Politics: Analysis of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's calls for constitutional amendments, abolishing the Electoral College, and demanding “proof of life” for Sen. Mitch McConnell. Electoral College vs. Popular Vote: A breakdown of James Madison’s original intent, the balance of power between low- and high-population states, and alternative systems like district-based electoral votes. Standards & Identity Politics: A commentary on institutional standards, identity-driven hiring, and the societal pressures around public accountability. Cambridge University’s drive to tick a box by hiring Jason Arday ended, when he could no longer keep up the façade, in him taking his own life because he’d just never been equipped with the tools he needed in life.

  Aug 16, 202657 min

  Guest host Dean Karayanis steps in for Derek Hunter to break down current political debates, focusing on NYC’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani's hypocrisy on landlords and Amazon delivery subcontractors, border enforcement, and TPS policies.
