On this episode of the Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Susan Crabtree, National Political Correspondent for RealClearPolitics and author of Fool’s Gold, to break down the growing concerns surrounding California’s political future.

Crabtree explains why she’s pessimistic about the direction of the state, pointing to a lack of accountability, one-party dominance, and the collapse of local media institutions. The conversation dives into controversial practices like “behest payments,” the role of investigative journalism, and how corruption stories are increasingly being uncovered through both traditional reporting and citizen journalism.

They also discuss:
The potential political future of California post-Gavin Newsom
Media bias, access journalism, and the decline of watchdog reporting
How social media platforms like X are reshaping journalism
The cultural and economic challenges facing middle-class Californians
The impact of AI and information overload on the next generation

Plus, Crabtree shares her personal journey from Washington, D.C. to California, her passion for investigative journalism, and practical advice on staying grounded in a fast-moving, high-pressure world.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Washington Examiner and Magnolia Tribune opinion writer Kimberly Ross for a candid conversation about modern womanhood, media, and the pressures shaping today’s cultural landscape.

Kimberly shares her journey into political writing—from blogging on Medium to becoming a nationally recognized voice—and dives into the issues she covers most: family, women’s roles, and life issues from a conservative perspective.

The conversation tackles the growing divide between the “girl boss” and “tradwife” narratives, and why most women don’t actually fit into either box. Karol and Kimberly also explore the impact of online culture on relationships, rising loneliness in younger generations, and the challenges of building real-world connections in a digital-first society.

Plus, Kimberly opens up about her personal experience with infertility, motherhood later in life, and why not caring what others think might be the ultimate superpower.
