## Resource

In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun pulls no punches while dissecting the anti-capitalist “Animal Farm,” a bastardization of George Orwell’s novella, that’s being distributed by Angel Studios — which billed itself as a “values-based” organization — and the conservative commentators who did paid endorsements. Dean contrasts the unwavering integrity of Rush Limbaugh with a new generation of media figures he accuses of "capturing a dime" at their audience's expense. From the "weaponization" of Canadian politics and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Ramstein Air Force Base to a scathing critique of Angel Studios, Dean explores how the dilution of language and the monetization of anger are reshaping the political landscape. Plus, identity politics — from The View to NASA — is a "brick in the wall" strategy designed to stifle individual potential, and the Nazi running for Senate as a Democrat in Maine ought to be handled without snide jokes that make Graham Platner seem humorous.
