In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with City Journal contributing editor and The Power of Bad author John Tierney for a candid conversation on recycling myths, COVID-era groupthink, and the cultural dominance of negativity. Tierney breaks down why he challenges mainstream environmental narratives, how he shifted from traditional liberalism to outspoken contrarian, and what the pandemic revealed about public discourse. He also shares practical ways to stay optimistic, push back on fear-driven messaging, and focus on what’s actually going right in the world. The Karol Markowicz Show is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Wednesday & Friday.
