Primary Results, Ballroom Blues, and Messaging

Guest host Dean Karayanis, New York Sun columnist and former member of Rush Limbaugh’s “highly overrated staff,” steps in for Derek Hunter on the Derek Hunter Podcast, sharing key lessons learned while guest-hosting live talk radio on WMAL. Dean analyzes early voting dynamics in the South Carolina Republican primary, contrasting candidate approaches to foreign policy and national security as well as the so-called conservatives who are so eager to trash Republican women. The episode also dives into media narrative shifts, political leadership choices, and current economic pressures surrounding rising healthcare costs and national debt hitting a whopping $40 trillion.
