On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with columnist, radio host, and author Derek Hunter for a candid and often hilarious conversation about his unconventional path to media success.

From holding over 80 jobs—including some truly bizarre gigs—to becoming a nationally recognized voice at Townhall and WMAL, Derek shares how persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to fail shaped his career. He opens up about breaking into radio, navigating the media world without a roadmap, and why sometimes the best opportunities come from unexpected places.

The conversation also dives into personal growth, parenting, financial lessons (including missed investment opportunities), and Derek’s biggest advice: learn from other people’s mistakes before making your own.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with radio host and political commentator Ben Ferguson for a refreshing, deeply personal conversation that goes far beyond politics.

Best known for his years debating on CNN, The Ben Ferguson Show,  and co-hosting Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben opens up about his incredible journey—from starting in talk radio at just 12 years old to becoming a nationally recognized media voice. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from his early days with Bill O’Reilly, his time “fighting it out” on cable news, and how the media landscape has dramatically shifted.

But this episode takes a different turn.

Ben discusses life outside the political spotlight, including his passion for barbecue, launching successful restaurants, and—most importantly—being a father to three young boys. He reflects on what truly matters, why he’s turned down major opportunities to prioritize family, and how parenting has reshaped his perspective on success.

The conversation also dives into the future of AI, with Ben predicting transformative changes in healthcare, jobs, and everyday life—and why he remains optimistic about what’s ahead.

Plus, Ben shares powerful advice on staying present, breaking phone addiction, and strengthening relationships in an increasingly distracted world.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with author, activist, and firearms instructor Yehuda Remer, widely known as “The Pew Pew Jew,” for a candid conversation about Jewish self-defense, gun ownership, and the cultural shift happening in the wake of October 7.

Why have so many American Jews historically been wary of firearms? How did the trauma of the Holocaust shape modern Jewish attitudes toward guns—and is that finally changing? Yehuda breaks down the historical roots of Jewish political alignment, the generational divide on Second Amendment rights, and why he believes Jews should be among the strongest defenders of the 2A.

Karol shares her own journey—from longtime conservative who never owned a gun to daily carrier—and explains what changed her perspective. Together, they discuss:


The surge in Jewish gun ownership after October 7


Israel’s restrictive gun laws and what they mean for Jewish security


Why self-defense is about more than just owning a firearm


The role of education in changing minds on gun safety


Divisions within the conservative movement over Second Amendment rights


Raising strong, respectful kids in a chaotic political culture

Yehuda also opens up about his family’s Holocaust history, what motivates his activism, and why he believes Jews must reclaim their warrior heritage rather than remain passive in the face of rising antisemitism.
