Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex starts by talking about why he thinks we are doomed. Tucker Carlson and others are giving weight to a new conspiracy about the “geophysical event” that combines climate denialism, anti-elitism, government skepticism, QAnon, and more. The event sounds like it is out of a Hollywood, apocalypse movie. Next, Trump is mad at Bruce Springsteen after comments he made at a concert in England and he is threatening to investigate the Boss. Alex talks about Trump’s intimidation that is chilling for free speech. Finally, Alex talks about the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” that the House passed in the early morning. Many don’t know what is in the bill, but it is clear that it will cut taxes for the wealthy, cut benefits for those in need, and spike deficits even more.
