On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Jennifer Van Laar, managing editor of RedState and a leading investigative journalist known for uncovering major political stories.

Jennifer shares her unconventional journey—from 20 years as a courtroom stenographer working on murder trials to becoming one of the most impactful investigative voices in conservative media. She explains how her courtroom experience taught her how to build cases, analyze evidence, and ultimately break major political stories.

The conversation dives into the investigation that exposed former Rep. Katie Hill, the year-long reporting effort that scrutinized RNC leadership and spending, and the pressures journalists face when reporting critically on their own political side. Jennifer also discusses the evolving mission of RedState, why intellectual honesty matters in political media, and how conservative outlets balance breaking news with opinion.

Karol and Jennifer also explore the future of California politics, the fallout from the Palisades fire, Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership, and whether the political pendulum could swing back in the Golden State.

Plus, Jennifer reflects on her personal life—raising three sons as a single mother, finding purpose through storytelling, and why discovering your strengths and “staying in your lane” may be the key to long-term success.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Algemeiner reporter Corey Walker for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation on journalism, media narratives, and the cultural forces shaping today’s political discourse.

Walker shares his journey from the Daily Caller to covering Jewish issues and Middle East politics, offering insight into how longstanding narratives around Israel continue to resurface in modern debates. The conversation dives deep into media bias, the rise of “audience capture,” and how influencers and commentators shape — and sometimes exploit — public opinion.

Karol and Corey also explore the challenges of building a career in journalism today, the power of independent thinking in an era of groupthink, and why reading — not social media — remains the key to understanding the world.

Plus, Walker opens up about overcoming adversity, navigating media pressure, and his vision for the future — including launching his own platform in the evolving digital media landscape.
