    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. 🔹 How Ben Ferguson got his start in media at age 12 🔹 What it was really like debating on CNN 🔹 Behind-the-scenes of Verdict with Ted Cruz 🔹 Why he stepped away from politics to open a BBQ business 🔹 Fatherhood, family, and redefining success 🔹 AI’s impact on the future of work and medicine 🔹 The simple habit that can transform your relationships See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    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.

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.
