On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with National Review senior writer Noah Rothman to discuss his new book, Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America. Together, they explore the often-overlooked history of political violence on the American left, from anarchist bombings and Occupy Wall Street to the 2020 riots and recent attacks targeting law enforcement.

Noah explains why he believes America has failed to confront the full scope of political extremism, how media narratives shape public perception of violence, and why understanding both left-wing and right-wing radicalization is essential to preserving the country's civic fabric. The conversation also covers the Luigi Mangione case, the rise of populism, Donald Trump's lasting political influence, AI versus the commercial space race, and Noah's surprising life-improvement recommendation.
