On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with John McCormick, senior editor at The Dispatch, for a thoughtful conversation on journalism, politics, media, history, and the values that matter most.

John reflects on his path from conservative college columnist to reporting for National Review, The Weekly Standard, and The Dispatch. He shares why political debate has become less productive, how social media has changed public discourse, and why he still believes respectful disagreements are essential to a healthy democracy.

The conversation also explores the future of American politics, the importance of history, balancing career ambitions with family life, and why faith and family remain the foundation of a meaningful life.
